BIRKENHEAD.

Its Growth anil Advancement,

BiiucENiiEAD, with its clovatcd lands, mug-' nilicont views, bracing air, and go-ahead settlers, is making rapid stridee. Tho past two years hive wrought great, changes, and the coming year bids fair to eclipse- any other in the substantial improvements and progress to bo mado. One of the great advantages Birkonhead possesses is its un limi* d back country, capable of carrying a great population, and which is becoming oasily accossiblo by tho oxteiißive lines of roads being formed, and also by new steamors and additional wharf accom modation arranged for, and which will givo a great impetus to settlement, as easy facilities of travelling by road and river aro of tho highest importance in in ducing pooplo to leave tho city for agricul tural pursuits. For several miles inland ploughing is being done, and other works in progress are but the preliminary opera tions which herald the approach of more settlers, peoplo being attracted to the dis trict partly by its healthinoss, and also by tho fact of tho largo profits which the pioneer settlors have mado by cultivating the ground. In paying a visit to Birkcnhead, tho first great improvement noticeable is that the almost perpendicular track up the hill leading irom tho wharf has beon abolished in favour of a well-formed road, which has, at great expense and greatlabour, been mado, giving a lair roadway with an easy grade for cart traffic, where in former times it was almost impossible for a horse to take half a load. This main road has been thoroughly formed for a distance of three miles. This excellent work has been carried out by the Koad Board by means of a special loan under the Koads and Bridges Construction Act. Messrs Boylan & Lundon were the en gineers. Beyond this stago another 3 miles of road has beon licked into shape under tho auspices of the County Council, but it doea not reflect any particular credit upon that body, as it is by no moans a creditable piece of work. Nevertheless, it evidences the desire of the Council to assist in forming the main roads of tho district, and serves to show strangers tho course of tho chief thoroughfare. A few years ago visitors to Blrkenhoad formed the same impros&ion of tho soil as tho early visitors to Waikato formed of the value of land at the latter place, judging only by the unfavourable appearance of the verdure to bo seen growing. At Waikato tho short forn—kept thort by summer fires —led to the belief that tho land was too poor to produce a rich growth, while tho short ti-tree visible along the rolliDg prairie land of tho Birkonhead district has likewise been kept down by periodical fires. The idea that grass or crops could not bo grown successfully is now dispelled by the sight of Mr Button's grass, &c, and by the rich growth of oats at the top of the firat sec tion of the road, which demonstrate that tho ground pays to cultivate without any more artificial manuros than are used at Remuora or other places in ordinary cultivation. A little diatanco further beyond the oats re ferred to, on tho north side of the road, are Mr Jenkins's strawberry gardens, and on the opposite side is the fino property of Mr Hammond, tho appearance of which is in dicative of the spirit of improvement which so strongly characterises the district. Mr E. J. White's villa rosidouco appears to advantage, and tho young grass promises well. Mr White has some pretty native bush on hiß property, in tho centro of which he ia establishing an orchard, securing thereby tho most demrablo shelter from strong winds. Mr Wornham has by un coasing industry made a comfortable homo stoad. Mr Joseph Cook, well known to old frequenters of tho Auckland wharf, has got his ground into an advanced state of cultiva tion. On this proporty is a clump of kauri trees, said to be the nearest point to Auckland at which may bo seen those kings of tho forests. These will doubtless bo jealously guarded from the woodman's axe. Opposite this ground is the road leading to the Tramway Company's valuable property, and to Helyor's Creek district. Adjacent may be seen the two new cottages of Messrs Bond and Smith respectively, who havo evidently been busy orohardplanting and laying down grass. Mr Greives'? new house is noticeable, and Mr John Hill's homestead kas quite a picturesque look, with his newly-erected cottage. Tho well known orchard of Mr Hawkins is next seen, and its reputation is sufficient guaran tee of what tho locality can do for those who aro prepared to bring ekill to bear upon the manipulation of tho soil. Mr Hawkins (jun.) has quite recently erected a new house adjoining the paternal estate. Ex tending from tho corner of Lake Road is Mr Thompson's property, with its strawberry gardens and nursery. Considerable im provements have been mado during tho yoar in tho shape of fencing, breaking up new land, etc., and two acres more straw berries have beon planted. Ihere are now eight acres of this fruit, which is early in tho market owing to the fine northerly slope of tho ground. Mr Wilson has also a grand (•how of etrawborrios upwards of ten acres. Mr W. H. Thompson has a fine young orchard, and ho is now erecting extensive vineyards, for the covering of which 2 tons of glass is now being carted to the ground.

NEWMARKET BOROUGH COUN CIL.

Tho Loan Quostion Again

A jikktinq of the ratepayers of the above borough was held last evening in tlio Newmarket Hall for tho purppso of corsidoring the loan question, it having been discovered that the previous action had been illegal.

Mr John MoNeill was voted to tho chair, and at once called upon Mr Suiter to explain Why the meeting had been called.

Mr Suitek said tbat he could not find words sufficiently stroiiK to express hia feelings at being again compelled to call them together for Iho pmposo of uousidcting a quistlon that had already been worn threadbare—namely, the water worka loan question. He was sorry that it was necessary to recapitulate points already diecutßed. Tho ratepayers h*d voied in favour otobtiining water, but owing to certain tech nical (laws, it had been fojnd absolutely neces sary to rcpontidcr the question. They had tried to raiso a loan of £7 000, intending to pay tho interest f l'oni the reserves as an endow muiit. Uhis hid lulled through tho action o£ certain persons resident in tho borough. He Wiis credibly ivlui-med that this foiluro was owing to a letter written by a person named Jonkins, pro.eating against the alienation of the resorves. I'hoy had thus been compelled to either increase tho iatcs or lower tho loan. They had preferred tho latter course, and alttioughtho vote w»s for £7,010, it was under stood thai only £1,00 should be raised at rre sont. It had, ho ever, bocn Btated that it was iho intention of himself .to raise the lull amount, and this had caused all tho trouble. He then recapitulated tho ground already gone over at previous meetings, alter which he read aßerios of letters fi rwarded to the borough's so iciiors, end Btated that Iholr reply had boon to tho effect that tno whole nutter would have t j );e gono over again, m tho Council tad done wrong by plianging the amount from seven to four thousand pounds, whereas the amount slated in tho first advertisement was £7,010, for drainage and waterworks to that all action was correct until the amount of loan had been changed. 'Ihey wero thercfo'ro of opinion that under tho circumstances, a ligal poll had not boen taken, and it would be necessary to commence again, by giving fresh notioe of a loan for the amount required. The Return ing Officer was notili.d to take a poll upon £7,000, and it was tho intention of the speaker to have aliered the advortistment, but it had slipped bis momory, all hough he went to town for that purpose He mii<ht siato that Mr J. Lynch had informed him that Cr. Clayton had waited upon him and aeked him why he wanted to ypte for iho loan when he had water and drainage'already. (Mr Clayton: i hat's falso. Cries of " Sit down; tit flown "» This no con sidered working against thu h at interests of the borough. However, very lKllo time would after all bo lost, as it would take the Borough Knginecr to prepare iho plans, and by that timo Uiuy wi.uld just bo able to again go over what tlioy hod lost without making the mistaken. The only pity wis that each of thebu polls cost about £10, which thoy had to pay. He had given notice of a motion which wou'.d come up at the next meetiDg of the Council, when he hoped these malcontents would point out any mis takes at once. An advertisement of a loan of £4,000 would then be inserted in the pipers, and everything would go on all right. He might state ihat for want of water, they had lost a steam laundry and the woollen factory, whioh would have boen ostab lished in Ne »' market "but for that necessity being mlssinß With reference to Iho by-laws, Cr. J uniting had gone round tho borough, pointing out the various clauses that touohed different persons, a;.d thus got them all in arms against the Mayor. Ho tuon, in company with Crs, Clayton, Edgerly, and Whisker, wrote to tho Colonial Secretary protesting, on various grounds, against tho by-laws biing gazetted. Tnat offlcor had replied that everything was correct, only that thoy must get over tho objections of the four Councillors, cithor by their will or a vote of the raleDajers. There was one matter that ho m<ght Btate, which was that he Intended to again be a candidate for the mayoralty at iho forthcoming election. Mr Jenkins next camo forward, and said Jhat thoy mußt admit that all tho objections but One that ho had raised had proved correot. He considered thut Mr Suiter's stupidity and cupidity Jaad brought all tho troubleon himself. Mr Suiter had oaid to him Uiat thoy had carried the loan for £7,000, and he had replied that it was no use as it was a fraud upon tho > ato payers, most of whom beliovod that they had only votod for £1 000 instead of £7,000. Ho had taken a tremendous amount of trouble to kersp the Mayojr straight, but he would go crooked. Mr Clayton next stepped forward, and Slid that the whole thing lay in a nutshell A nrs take had been made by the Mayor, and all the talking in the w..r'd would uot make it rlghs. He had been told that he waa doing injury, but Mr Suitor would never listen. He then ro forred to tho treatment that he had receive I fivin thu Mayor Bince his election to tho Coun cil- Ho was not opposed to water coming imo No« mtrket, for his insurance amounted to Wi. What he -anted * as straight-forward dedinii. \V hj, when tte poll «as being taken, Mr Suiter's own clerk was allowed to sit at the table, Was

THE a-I-A-ICsTr SjSILE Commences ON FEIDAY NEXT, on our Premises, CANADA BUILDINGS, QUEEN ST. S. COOMBES AND CO. P.S.—The above Stock needs no comment. The Goods are of First-class quality, being part of tho Stock of the Melbourne Branch of the well-known Firm of W. & A. McAETIIUR, of London. S. COOMBES AND CO. NEW ZEALAND jiROZEN MEAT & STORAGE COMPANY, LIMITED. CAPITAL, £200,000; CALLED UP, £100,000. DIRECTORS: A. Bull, Esq. D. L. Murdoch, Esq. J. Basks, Esq. L. D. Nathan, Esq. P, Comiskey, Esq. Hon. J. Wiluamsok. Sib P. Whitakeb, X C.M.G. The Company begs to notify to the public that the works at Auckland and tho Walter* have now been completed, and constitute the moat extensive Meat-preserving and Freez ing Works in New Zealand. WHOLESALE MEAT MARKET AND SHIPPING DEPOT Is now open at the Company's Works at the Railway Wharf, where Town and Country orders will be attended to with the utmost promptness and despatch, Tho Company can refor with confidence) to the superior quality ef its Prime Meat, m selected for the market from large quantities of first-class West Coast stock, dealt with at the Company's Works, Wuitara. SALT BEEF. Special attention Is directed to the Company's brand in this line, which, with tho faci lities afforded by tho cold-air process, can De cured in mild pickle, and the necessity of cutting up in small pieces obviated. As contractors for H.M, Navy, here and in Sydney, large stocks are kept on hand. BACON-CURING. The Cooling Chambers- for Bacon-curing at th« Company's Works in Auckland are now so far advanced that ttia New Industry nos been commenced, and choice Hams and Bacon can be offered cured on the most modern principle Particular attention will be paid to the selection of Pins fob this cse, and on no account will any except Dairy ob Cork Fed Pigs be purchased, as it ia purposed to bnild up a reputation for an Auckland Ham and Bacon Factory. MEAT-PRESERVING. This branch ia equal to an outpnt of 120,000!ba, per diem, a_d the Company has the greatest confidence in recommending its PRESERVED MEATS As superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered to the public The Company would specially call attention to the fact that tho COMPRESSED CANNED BEEF AND MUTTON, I'ACKSn IK THE SQUAKK OAK '(The right to which is patented), is the first sample from any part of the world that bos been ame to compete successfully in the London Market with the best Chicago brands. Hitherto the Colonial meats packed in the round cans, although called compressed meats, were only saleable in the English markets, where a law price was the first consideration, bat meats of the New Zealand Packing Company, submitted in competition for Admir alty supplies at Deptford Dockyard, were awarded the highest commendation, and placed on the register of accepted brands. The following extract from the letter of the Company's Agents in London, the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company (Limited), is reforred to, who writo as follows:— " We have the pleasure to band you herewith an extract from a letter received from the War Offlos. Army Department:—" Samples of the Peach Brand of tho New Zealand Pacldufr Co., submitted by you, have been tested and proved, and tho Brand will be added to the Selected Unt of the Department" This now entitling yon to tie privilege of computing, wo therefore tendered on your behalf at 80s 3d per 1121b; and to-day ware gratified to hear that tho oiler had been accepted, notwithstanding that it was 9d per cwt. higher than the leading American brands, showing that the quality was fully appreciated." Consequent upon the temporary stoppage of production during the transfer of the Company's Meat-preserving Works from Auckland to Waiters, and owing to the fact that the reserve which had been relied upon to meet current demands was taken by the .New South Wales Government for the Soudan expedition, the Company has been unable to comply with numerous demands from customers, but are now prepared to execute with promptitude all ordere with which they may be favoured. WHOLESALE BUTTER DEPOT. The Company is about to open a large Wholesale Butter DepOt at their Freezing Works, Railway Wharf. Cooling Chambers and tho necessary plant are now being prepared. It is anticipated that with the appliances, cold-air chambers, and facilities for dealing with the ever-incroasing surplus, the Company will bo able to offer a regular and satisfactory market for Dairy Produce The Company's Managers of this branch are cash purchasers of Prime Butter ond- Fresh Eggs. Communications may at once be andressed to them. The utmost care will be taken in the selection of Bntter for table use. This will be made up fresh every morning. As early as possible, wholesale orders of Butter will be delivered in refrigerated carts, so that retailers will be able to obtain a day's supply each morning, and householders, by insisting upon being supplied with the Company's Brands of Butter, will obtain a table delicacy throughout the year. The department will be under the management of Messrs Glanville md Ellyett, whose Bntter Business is being taken over by the Company. ACID AND MANURE WORKS. The Directors being very desirous of satisfying the public as to the genuineness of their Manures, have requested Prof. BrowD, of the Auckland University, to act as their Analyist, and he has agreed to certify to the Analysis of tho Superphosphates. The Company will defray the cost of any Analysis of Manures purchased direot from them and duly sampled, the result of which may be proved to fall below the guaranteed standard, and aleo allow 4s 6d per ton per unit for the deficiency. Samples and further information may be obtained at the Works, Otahuhu, or at th» Office, RaUway Wharf. The Company is now prepared to enter into arrangements for storing General Merchandise, etc., at current rates.
