The bill was road a second time without opposition. Mr Mow moved tho Newmarket Keservo bill, saying that he would reserve his remarks tilt tho bill was in Ommittee. Messrs Moat and Peacock said that at a later stage they would require to obtain good reasons for the granting of a public recreation reserve for building purposes, and they might find it necessary to oppose it, Messrs BIiYCE and Fulton mado similar remarks, objecting to recreation reserves being used for revenue purposes.

Mrllnrs, who introduced tho measure, muvod that tho amendments in tho bill, save in Section 7, allowing five-shilling sweepstakes on racing-courses, provided tho total docs not oxcocd £:">, bo agreed to, and that tho amendments in Soction 7 bo dis agreed with. This was mofc by an amondinont by Mr Samuel that tho amendment mado by the Legislative Council may bo agreed to. The I'jtKiMiKK hoped tiiat foction 7 would not be agreed to. Tho House might just as well repeal tho Gaming and Lotteries Act n 8 legftliso sH'ccpttakeß on racecourses.

Mr Lance said ho was seldom found in opposition to tho i'romier, bat on this oc casion he joined issuo with him. Swoep stakfcs should bo legalised on racecourses, and he tinccrcly trusted that this now clause would bo passed. Me Lake opposed clause 0, holding that it was legislation to mnko man give ovi denco which would lond to criminate him self.

Tho amendment was carried on division by 35 to 28, and the question "That tho amendments made by tho Legislative Coun cil be agrcod to " was carried.

Mr RfItiBSTON flaked how tho rcvenuo that goldfields difctrict were to loso was to bo reoouped. Mr I'yke defended tho bill, accusing Mr Rollei>ton of ignornncocn tlie subject, and assorting tliat the time hnd oomo when the duties should bo abolished, not as a matter of revenue, but as a matter of iusticfl. Mr LARNAt'II Baid the reduction of tho gold duties would como before the Houso in duo cour-f, w i;li reepect to tho reduction in miner.--' ti^l.tsand business liconFes, ho felt tho Government should have discretion.

THE RETRENCHMENT PROBLEM.

Another Night Wasted,

Tim adjourned debato upon the question of the city finances and the projects of re trenchment was resumed at tho meeting of tho City Council last night. There were two proposals before the Council —(1) A motion to adopt the Com mittee's recommendation to reduce all oflieials' salaries 15 por cent. ; and (2) Cr. Holland's amendment to give tho City Engineer and Town Clerk three months' notice. Cr, Holland asked leave to alter bis amendment by leaving out tho name of the Town Clork, who=e experience gained during long (service in this city counter balanced any defects. In his opinion the City Engineer, by his want of judgment and want of firmness in seeing works pro perly carried out, had been the means of put ting tho Council to considerable unnecessary expense. The absence of proper cainfering on our roads was the cauße of very groao wear and tear. The plain fact was that tho requirements of the City had outgrown tho Engineer's capacity, and for that reason he proposed that ho should receive three months' notice of dismissal. In taking thia action he sank all personal feeling, lor it v as against his grain to adopt hostile action towards any official. The application for leave to alter the amendment was then put to tho vole and negatived. Cr. Garba^t said that in speaking to the subject of the Town Clerk's removal, it seemed to him that they were' forced to do tho mo3t unpleasant things in the most unpleasant way. He had wished to deal with each officer on his merits, but ow ing to the action of Crs. Aickin and Kidd, 1.0 was constrained to bring specific charges, Ho did not, however, shrink from th,e responsibility. The first charge was that tho Town Clerk had employed lor his pri vate purposes certain Council employes, re ceiving Council pay, and during Oounoil hou.r>,'as was shown by the time books, of Messrs Hodge, Munro, and Sroart k '(j D 0 ma.n, on a certain occasion, wa^ Employed to wheel out Airs Philips, two Others to lay down carpets, others eenti to steamers for fruit to take to Mr FhUipa'a house, and the tiling became !i burlesque when a man was sent to Mr Philips's residenco on two suc cessive days to set a moueotrap. These matters had been before a Committee, and yet no action had-been taken. Tho CfIAiRMAX remarked that the fairer method would be to refer these charges to a Committee, which would take evidence and make due enquiry. Mr Philips had a right to demand this, Cv. G oldiis said that tho Sanitary In spector had submitted to tha Committee a list of 84 times on which Council employe's had been sent to do tho Town Clerk's pri vate work, but the Committeo had simply been delayed from bringing up a report by tho absence of Crs. Dignan and Morrison. Such acts as those alleged against the Town Clerk wero demoralising to the whole stall', for the Town Clerk would never con sure or rcpremand any uf thcao officers lest ho should turn rGv.nd upon him. 'I'ho Chairman said that it must not be assumed that tho charges were proved.

Cr, Goloiu retorted that the Town Clork had admitted tho charges. The Town Clehk denied this point blank, and said Cr. Goldio knew it.

Cr. Goldie went on to say Ijl\a,t U was a well known fact that th.c present Town Clerk had got his biUet simply because he had fuiled, i/p, business. Mr Brodie first was (\pp,qin'tcd Town Clork, and was afterward removed to make room for Mr Philips. If a man could not manage his privato business, lie could hardly bo expected to manage the Corporation's business.

The Cn>nuiAN said that Mr Philips'H alleged failuro in business had nothing to do with his proEont competency for hia office. Tho Town Ci.kui,, appealed to Councillors' fetißO qf justici for protection. If the pUavgea were directly made, he was prepared to mcot and refulo them.

Cr. Goluik replied that they all fenow what this meant.

Cr. Aickin rosa. to a point of order. Cr. Goldie had apokon boforo on this question. Cr. QoLDIK denied it, and remarked that he was accustomed to these purposed inter ruptions. He went on to s>ay that th,e Town Clork waß guilty of lac/ica in, cfinfijction with his position. For ins^a^co, some time ago the Sanitary Inspector submitted a list of three tradosm.cn who had contravened a city by-law In order to obtain instructions whether or, not he should sue them. Tb.3 Town Clerk struck out oue ™,&rjao, wrote opposite another th/>t lie would make it all righ,t. ani then gave instruc tions for Mr S. Coombes to bo pro,-, secutod. Subsequently, it camp out that ono of the persons protected hy the Town Clork had threatened to cue him for a privato debt if hg prosecuted him. Then too thy T/own Cleik had been in arrear with his rates, and ho hud had a oollarless dog. An otlicial like him should set an ex ample in not trangres^ug municipal obliga tions and by-laws. Cr. Cjxnolly said that after these damn ing chiliges nothing remained hut to. in quire into them, in ordor that the Town Clork might havo an opportunity of meeting them. Ho therefore moved that an inquiry should be held, and that a Committse should bo appointed for tho purpose. Tho Chairman remarked that the fair and right wuy was to frame the charges in .writing, and not urge them orally, a> hs.d been dono that night.

Cr. Gabeatt pro/c^ed hia willingness to n rilo out his charges.

Cr Duvoue said ho was prepared to move as ho hail indicated last week that the ques '.ionsof reducing tho number and salaried of ollicials, and the amalgamation of oflicos, should bo referred to a committee. |{ Cr, Holland would withdraw his amendment, ho would at once move; for after the charges just made, inquiry was absolutely ncooitary.

Cr. Holland replied that all ho desired was a fair and open inquiry. Cr. Connolly at this stage withdrew his amendment.

Cr. Ui ton pointed out that the discus sion had drifted into a consideration of the capabilities of certain officials, and if a pro position woro brought forward to deal with tb,e whole of the offices in a comprehensive way, It would be advantageous. Cr. Devoro's amendment aimed ab that result. There was not a large amount to be saved in tho offices, bu^ if £500 were saved in that way, jt would be an important item in tl\o aggregate. Fro© tho scraps of informa dojed out from the offices in a wav that showed tho utter in corr\pet?n;ie o,f tho olficors to perform their duties, ho was strengthened in his belief that retrenchment could ba judiciously made. Yol no good would be done by harsh oxprets-ions of opiuion towards individuals. He hoped that Cr. Devore's amendment would pass.

Cr. DisvoitE said that if Cr. Holland would withdraw his amendment, he would movo in lieu thorcp.f, "That the Legal Committee inquire and report to this Council-(l) As to reducing the number of officials ; (2) as to reducing the salaries of Uncials retained ; (3) and generally as to tho amalgamation of officers and duties, and tho bottor -working o,f tho various departments ; (4) and generally as to the cupacity of the officers to perform their duties."

{ Leave having then been given, Cr. Hoi I land withdrew his amendment.

At thistt:age Cr. La KocnE drew attci - tion to the fact that the clock denoted that the hour of ten had arrived. Thereupon tho Councillors arose from thoir stats and incontinently abandoned tiie business in hand.
