THE CUTTING AT EMILY PLACE.

Sleeting of Property-Owners.

A i'CLL meeting of the Coiiimittoe appointed fey those Interested in the altered levels of Shortland, Princes, and adjacent streets was held last night in the committee-room of the new Town Hall. Present i Council lors Crowther (in the chair), Holland and Kidd, Messrs Lamb, Whitley, E. Craig, Norrie, Hellaby, Gleespn, Hatawell, J. Grey, Moldrum, Mackechnis, Wiight, Wildmari, and others. The Chairman opened the business by reading a tatter from the Museum authori ties, asking that something definite re levels should be done at onco, and replies From Hon, J. Ballanee in reference to St. Paul's site, in which he regretted that he wan unable to agree to the proposed change 6f sites, giving as hie reason that the Polico Force should not bo removed from thoir present healthy situation, Tho Chairman {jointed out tho necoEsity of doing some thing without delay, as thoro were many who would build at once if tho matter of levels wore settled. He instnncpd the Masonic Hotel truateos, who woro running tho risk of losing their license by deferring the erection of thoir how building. Cr. Kidd said it would be useless to go ovor the old ground again, as all presont had each done his best to further tho im portant matter of the altered lovols. Diffi culties had arisen that, taking into con eidoration tho amount of mpnoy at the disposal of tho ward, were insur mountable. It had been clearly pointed out to those interested that thoro was not tho slightest chancp of tho work being done if compensation woro domanded. In spite of the fact being, patent that the value of all the property affaeted by the cutting down would be enormously in creased, yet in Eome cases largo sums were a«ked for as compensation, while others had absolutely refused to agrco to tho work being done at all. It did eeem. hard that where such a majority was in favour of the work, a few people should stand in tho way of a public improvement at a time so favourable for its execution, and if the chance were not taken advantage of now, tho money at tho credit of tho ward would most likely bo spent elsewhere, and another opportunity of improving the city Would be lost for ever. Cr. Kidd concluded ' by moving : "That this Committee having ' taken into account the many difficulties that have arisen, desire to report that they see no possibility of coming to any satiafac- ■ tory arrangement re the altering of tho per- i manent levels and tho cutting down of Shortland aid Princes Streets. The Com mittee, however, urge that in or.der to give ' accoea to Emily Piece Shoitland-street | be cut down to its permanent lerol, and ' that Emily Place and adjacent Btre.te be ' cut down to the permanent level." ', This was seconded by Mr Lamb, who - spoke at length on the inconvenience J suffered by the property owners of Emily j Place by the delay. He urged that as every endeavour had beon rhado to secure another l site for St. Paul's, but without success, c they retain their old position. ) Mr Mackechine then moved ahd Mr j Wright seconded, "That tho ward members 1 be asked to request the City Council to , advertise for doslgns for providing access to Emily Place, and utilising cutting at the r foot of Princes street." " p

Cr.Kidd moved and Mr WhHsy seconded, " That a meeting of ratepayers be called for that night fortnighi,in order to place before the ratepayers tho resolution adopted by this Committee."

Messrs Whitley, Meldrum and Holland, all spoke warmly on the obstructiveness displayed by the parties who Rtood in the way of the cutting down, and the latter was especially severe on St. Paul's,which he described as a " bugbear." From the tone of some remarks dropped by the chairman when speaking of the handsome manner in which he had boen met by a few of tho principal landowners affected by the doeper cutting, it appeured that he does not yet despair of the success of the scheme which he has so much at heart, and which ho has worked co hard to compaes.

MANUKAU HARBOUR.

Proposal to Hand the Manage ui.nt Over to the Auckland Harbour Board.

It will bo remembered that some time ago th e Auckland Harbour Board made an attempt by means of a local bill to secure the control of the Manukau Harbour, which is at present under tho direct control of tho Marine Department; This measure did not roccive any assistance from the Government, and it was negatived by the House of Representatives. It would liowj ever appear that the Government are now some what anxious that the Auckland Board should take over the administration of the Manukau Harbour, as is shown by the following letter read at tho meeting of tho Board this after noon :—

"Marine Department, •' Wellington, 10th March, 18S7. " Sir,—The question of the maintenance of the Manukau Harbour establishment having boen considered by the Government, I have been directed by the Minister having chargo of the department to inform you, that taking into con sideration tho special circumstance of tho Manukau Harbour in relation to its position to Auckland, it is proposed to offer the control and management of it to a combined. Board consti tutcd by the addition of some representative from the port of Onehunga to your Board, and to take the necessary steps during the ensuing session of Parliament to give effect to the pro posal. I have simultaneously with this letter written to the Mayor of Ononunga informing him of the proposal In carrying out which, the Minister hopes thatyour Board will receive the hearty co-opcratiou of tho Council of that Borough.- I have etc., H. B. Wilson, pro Secre tary.

A Defence of the Government.

[By TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

New Plymouth, this day. Mn. O. Samuels, M.H.R. addressed his con stituents last night when the large hall was crowded. Ho reviewed the work of the Session Referring to the political scandals ho said that Major Stewart had innocently placed himself in a false poaition, but the charges against Sir Julius Vogel were proved to be foul Blandcrs on an innocent man. He doubted the sincerity of the Government professions respecting retrench ment but what was wanted to reduce tho expenditure was more backbone in the members to carry out any pro posal made for reductions. He intimated that if the electors could find a more suitable person to bring forward to represent them at next election ho was willing to stand aside. A vote of confidence was carried unanimously.

THE CALLIOPE DOCK.

Proposal to Expend £10,000 on Machinery. During the time the H.M.S. Neleon was in Auckland tho Fleet Engineer, Mr Boyd, at the request of Admiral Tryon made certain sugges tions to the Harbour Board regarding the machino tools that would bo necessary to make the dock of Bervice for the reception of vessels of the Royal Navy. These suggestions were referred to Mr Errington, Dock Engineer, to report on, and at the Board meeting to-day Mr krrington's report was brought up. He stated that he considered that the machine tools recommended by Mr Boyd, Fleet Engineer of H.M.S. Nelson, would bo in evory way suitable for vessels of the Royal Navy, yet as tho dock would be used by other ocean-going vessels the class of heavy tools might be modilied. The cost approximately of the plant recommended by Mr Boyd was estimated at £8500, and the building of the machine house and foundation would be £1370 He recommended that tenders should be invited from English manufacturers. Ho forwarded offer on subject from James Watt and Co. He suggested that the Board should reconsider the matter of extending the deep water wharf (say SOO feet in length) on the N.E. side of the entrance as shown on original plan, where a ship could discharge her guns prior to being docked, and which could also bs used for coal from a depot.

The New Zealand Land Mortgage Company (Limited) Annual Local meeting.

The annual meeting of the local shareholders of tho above company took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Sir Frederick Wliitakcr being in the chair. About a dozen were present. At the third annual general meeting, held in London on the 11th January, the following report was submitted :-"Thc directors have much pleasure in submitting to the shareholders their third annual report and balance-sheet con taining statement of accounts. The net profit for the year ended 31st October, 1880, including £3,000 10s. od. brought forward from the pre ceding year, amounts to £26,874 16s. od. Out of this sum an interim dividend for tho half-year ended 30th April, 1886, was paid at tho rate of 7 per cent, per annum, amounting to £7,000, leaving a sum of £19,871 16s. Sd., which the directors recommend ahould be applied as fol lows :—To paymant of a dividend at the rate of !i per cent, for the half-year ended 31st October, 1886, £9,000; to reserve fund, which will then stand at £12,000, £7,000; to bo carried forward, £3,871 163. 3d.; total, £19,871 16b. sd. The directors are gratified at being able to state that the progress and prospects of the company con tinue to bo satisfactory. In accordance with the regulations of the articles of association, Sir William T. Power and Mr. J. Bristow retire from tho hoard of directors, but offer themselves for re-election. The English auditor, Mr. C. T. Moore, also retires, but is eligible for re-election, and again offers his services." Tho balance sheet, which has already been publiahed in the local press, was also tabled. The report and balance-sheet having been taken as road, the Chairman took the opportu nity to make a few rcwarks. He said that as the report of the proceedings of the general meeting in L,ondon was already in the hands of shareholders, he would con tent himself with calling the attention to one or two items in the balance-sheet. For instance it was shown that the expenses of working the Company amounted to only £7167 13s 2d, which, though it seemed considerable was in reality proof of the fact that the company was more cheaply worked than any other company he was acquainted with. In that £716713 a2d was included not only the English Income Tax but also the New Zealand property tax, and the latter, the last year alono absorbed £1336 The company had invested during the time it had been in operation sonictuing like £850,000 and now their expenses were greater than ever because they had a a greater amount invested and [because also in terest was harder to collect in these bad times It would also be found that £1000 had been put down for bad debts, but up to tho present time the company had made no absolutely bad debts may have had to take possession of some properties, but these for tho mo3t part would reimburse them, and there would only be one or two trifling losses. The £1,000 sot down for tho purpose would there fore bo ample. Their dividends from tho very start had been not loss than 7 per cent. It was generally much higher, and he hoped aa time went on thoy would increase. No doubt as they went on borrowing, and they had already borrowed £700,000, their, increment would go on increasing. They borrowed at 5 per cent.—lately reduced to 41-and invested at from 7 to 7i, so that there was a good margin for profit. The prospects as a colony were fair enough for the existing depression was general, and we were less badly off than some places. He hoped we had now got to the bottom of it and that we were upon the verge of a rise. The retiring directors, viz., Sir Frederick Whitaker, Dr. Campbell, and Mr U. L. Murdoch were ro-electod directors, and Mr A. Boardman was reappointed auditor at a remuneration of Mr Boardman returned thanks, and the meet ing ended.
