ARCH HILL RATEPAYERS.

! Proposal to Jo»n Kewton ! itoroiieh.

A MEETING of the ratepayers and residents of the above district waa held at 8 o'clock last evening, in the Newton West School room. The meeting had bteu called by requisition of 10 ratepayers, in order that the advisability of joining the Newton Borough might be taken into consideration. The Chairman of the Highway Board, Mr Taylor, read tne advertisement convening the meeting, and then called upon some of those who signed the requisition to open the business. Thoro was a largo attendance to open the meeting, and by the time the business was iairly un the way the room was crowded _ _ , Mr Jenkine, who first signed the rtquisi tion, stated that he had done so as ho thought it would be better to join the borough. Tho other wards who had joined Iho city lid i not regretted their uctiou, and he belioved that the money would bo more fairly expanded than ut prc-ont, whore throe men banded together and spout all tho rates, and then ran thum £400 in debt. | rto wanted the matter fairly and fully dis cussed. Mr Davidson asked whether this move ment had originated with the Arch Hill Koad District or tha Newton Borough. The Chairman explained tli.il it had been culled in respouse to the request of ten ratepayers. Mr Katcliffe t-aid he would like to see a change in the district, provided it wa° for the better Unfortunately, tho district was ao small that they could not carry out lar«e works, such as the formation of tho Great North Road and a bridge across to the New North Road. For awhile they had been content to go on making little footpaths, but now they hod gone further, and at the laat annual meeting they found thameelvos about £600 in debt. Ho was not tied, hind and foot to joining Newton Borough, but ho waa in favou of a change. Ho would therefore move, "That stops be taken to join the Ne*ton Borough." They would thori bo able to have the main road termed, and aUo a watsr supply, which would bring down tho ineujanoo rates. He thought that tho time hud arrived when they should drop their standstill eyetttn, ami try iho go-ahead process Mr Jenkins seconded the resolution. Mr Edgar aaid that this question had come upon the ratepayers like a thunder bcit. Ha thought that tho matter should have been given more r.otjce of. Two years ago their diftrict bad offered to be in corporated with the Newton Borough, and had been declined on account of the gully. If they joined Newton they would have throe mom,bera, and the present Newton Borough wquld havo nine members, so they could easily see how much money thoy would get spent in Arch Hill. j{e could aleo assure them that their rates would be doubled if they juinod tho borough. Ho moved, as an amendment, " That the Arch Hill district should remain us it is until they saw how the borough system, workod." He would really prefer joining the city of Auckland Mr Thompson pointedouttbat MrEdgar a proposition was a complete negative to the motion. He objected to juicing ths borough until they knuw more aoout it. Tho Chairman declined to accept Mr Edgar'e motion. Mr Tubin thought that it would be advi-able for the diutrict and the borough to oin tcgethar and 'borrow Üb.out £&,ODD. unJer the provisions of the " Local Budiua^ Finance Act," and thus form the Great North Road. Mr Ilatcliit'o, In replying, slid that thia matter had t>een diacusted for months, co it should not have been a surprise to anyone. He had calculated figures, und found that the rales would not be increased by joinir.g tne Newton Borough. V^ith regard to tho gully it was eartain that they could never deal with that while they remained f>» tbpy were, Ha did ret caro whathor they joined I^eyton fc Auckland, eo'Torgas they got some improvement. 'J he question was then put t° the met-fing,' when it, was negatived by a large majority. Mr Jenkins movtd, " That a committee, consisting of Messrs Taylor, Thompson, .Ton- Unß, Baildon, and Batcliffe, be appointed to ollect information regarding tho advis ability of joining the City of AuckUnd or tho Horough of Newton ; alf® as to the probable cost of obtaining a water supply, a.in report to tiio annual mooting of rate payers to be held next May. '• This was seconded by Mr Tobin, and also negatived by tho meeting by IS to 17. Thia concluded the business, the district being thus left as it is.

INDIA RUBBER.

Will it Pay to Produce it iv

New Zealand ?

A UKSTI.F.MAS lately arrived amongst as from London, and who hue been well known to our leading firm? by n/iraa for poiiib i 4 iucii-.g \A\\e, 'to ayouC to' attaapt the opi-ni'i^ up of >. new and possibly valuable inuuttiy in I ho colony. A* a Mincing Lane man, Mr George White, to uhorn we refer, has a<td much, to i}o with thp eub6tui.ee known as indU rubber. His f^st ex[jerieno« and certain experiments he ha^i madu hero set-in to have assured h m that it ie psseibl. to produoo this material with prufi; in iN'ew Zealand Before going furt'ior in tho direction of hie intended plnns, we will ray a lew words about the material itself. India-rubber, which, ac moot of our readers »ro doubtleea aware, is the coagulated sap of certain trees be longing to toe botanical data lie.us, or fjgs, has a large and increasing com mercial value, alrpost dajly, wo may say. we bear of freah utes for thia singular vegetable product. To give our reader* some idea of the vatt demand for it, wo may mention that Irom Parara, the shipping port of the great Amazon Kivor, last year there was imported 15.0U0 tons of india-rubber, valued at the va«t sum of six million pound* eterliug. This is, however, only one of tho places from whence the valuable cap is obtained. The be-t is that of trto tree Herea braziliensis, known in commerce as Parma rubber. The other tre;>s known to science and the Europuan uiinketf as rubber producers are the Cas tiUoa of Nicaragua, the Landolphia, wbich produces the well-knoA'n rubber exported from Madagascar and the MLSutiibique Channel, tbo Ficub elaa tica of Assam, and the Ficus macro philla, ot New Guinea nnd other parts ot O;'.ea»a A largo output may be expected shortly from Central Africa when Stanley's Congo free state is in better working order, but; that the demand is practicably inex haustible ie patent to those who hava made it the subject of inquiry. Now, rubber of the best quality, cay Parara rubber, ie, we are informed, valued at as much as 5s per pound at times, and is now worth about Sa or 3s 8d; a tree, aoriording to Mr White's calculations and experiments, should produce in about five or six years about 61b3 of nap per tree. Mr White's at tention was first drawn to the consideration of attempting the cultivation of india-rubber here by seeing some specimens of these trees growing well in Auckland, although in exceedingly dry places. Having tapped tome of these trees, he was surprised at the good flow of sap. Further experiments, in which Mr White was much assisted by Mr Pond, the Government analyst, who as certained.that, the sap contained a little over 50 per o Df, cf water, have resulted iv spuci mens of New Zealand produced rubber being sent to various commercial gentle men in England and Germany for them fo report upon. " Should," cays Mr George White, "your planting cost not mure than that of an ordinary orchard, and your average number of trees bo about 90 to the acre, a roturn of rubber at the end oi seven years to the value of abcut £20 per acre might fairly be expected, lhe return would, of course, rapidly increase as the trees grew, and a return of 100 times thia in another ten years would not be at all out of the way, judging from what is produced iv othor places." Mr White was anxioua to see a ficus growing in swamp land in New Zealand, and for sometime hunted high and low in vain for one, but discovered one at last at Wairoa. This one, he Eays, made him determined to carry out his idea. Mr Bailance has expressed himeelf strongly in favour of tho scheme, and has promised Mr White every assistance in the matter, aud even the use of certain swamp lands at a nominal rental. We may hope to hear before long as to the values placed upon the samplos sent to Europe. Should the report upon these be satisfactory, we may venture to hope for good things for Mr White's ex periment. We cannot, however, help a feeling, at the same time, of doubt as to the success that will attend the growing of rubber here ; tropical sunbeams and very cheap labour are wanted, neither of which are to be found within our shores. To those who have viewed the forests of giant india rubber trees upon the steaming banks of the mighty Amazon in South A merica, or the Fly River in New Guinea, a doubt will present itself as to tho feasibility of cultivating it here. Only a month's sail from here are illimitable forests of it, with black labour to hand. New Guinea, for products of this sort, will prove a formidable rival to New Zealand in a f«w yean.

THE WRECK OF THE LYTTELTON.

Damages Against Timaru liar

foour Board.

[by telkoraph.—press association.]

Wellington, Wednesday. The Lytteltoc case was resumed to day. After eoverol witnesses had been called,and counsel had addressed the jury, Hia Honor summed up. He said that each Bide had assigned a particular cause for tho disaster. The plaintiffs asserted that the wreck wa« caused through the vessel over-ridin? an anchor. Tho dofandante asserted, or at leaat suggested, that the ship foundered through the negligence of some of the ship's men in leaving open some of the ship's valves con nected with tho freeziog machinery. His Honor then reviewed the evidence adduced on both sides as to the vessel's trim. Diver Lennie found an anchor right through the Bhip's bottom. How it got there in that particular way, or whether Lennie was right in describing its position, was a matter o{ little importance, if the jury were satisfied that the anchor was through the ehip"H bottom. As he had already said, if the ship had really foundered through the valves being left open, and under those circunv: stances the ship's draught was increased, then, in his opinion, this being the primary cause of the disaster, it was of uu conse quence that the anchor had subsequently gone through the vessel's bottom. Tha,t miafortnne would be directly contributed to by the plaintiffs' servants. If the aociden.li was contributed to by Captain Hill's negli gence, the jury must treat him as the servant of the Board, and deprive the plain tiffu of recovery. If the accident waadueto.- Captain Hill taking the ship out of position, that was sufficient for contributory neglj. gence on his part, but if the accident wa» (iue to a false start, made under the pilot's directions, they could not attribute the aa< cide'it to, Captain Hill. Ho was of opinion, as regarded the law, that the defend* apts would be answerable for negli gence on Captain Storm's part, inasmuch. as he was not a licensed pilot. He con sidered the services rendered by Cap. tain Storm were not gratuitous services. Money was received for harbour feeß, and that was enough to prevent Ber*ices being gratuitous. Pie would ask the jury to say whether there was any gross negligence j it might be useful in future. As tQ fua point whether the shipowner!) could euft tor cargo, he wou\d for the preeen,t that, it was legitimate, and that it could be. done. The jury returned a verdisfc for the plain. tiff for £14,49,0, damages for the ship, In, eluding machinery, and £17,302 16s 8d for cargo. Tho Attorney-Genoral reserved leave to move for nonsuit on tho point mentioned in bis argument on Saturday, or for a verdict to reduce the damages by half of the shipj the Court to refer to the Judge's note of the evidence, with leave to draw such inferences as the jury might draw. Judgment was entered with costs accord ing to scale, and for a second counsel and special jury. In reference to the question of "grois1' negligence, the foreman of th'(j jury io answer to Bin Hoaor, etatfcd tbai£' with the exception 'of one man, the firjj wmd unanimous in finding Captain Stbruj guilty of " great. negligence,
