It is expected that the present session of Parliament) will close ab the end of this month.

SHORTLAND AND PRINCES STREETS LEVELS.

The adjourned meeting of those interested in the above vexed question was held last evening in tlie Councillors' room, Municipal Building, when there were present: Messrs W. Crowther (in the choir), Holland, Kidd, i (ward members), Roy. C. .1. Nelson, and Messrs W. Norrie, R. Fry, J. Wink.?, Heath, Baker, Robertson, Whitley, Dufaur, Lamb, Grey, A. Wright, S. Y. Collins, Dr. Purchas,.Yildman and W. Anderson (City Engineer). The Chairman explained the object of tho meeting, which was to hear Mr Anderson's report upon the pro posed work. This was to run tho cutting from 14 feet 6 inches at the top of Short land street, to nothing opposite Mr Kees ing's property. Mr Anderson had shown the three lines—the present surface, the line suggested by Mr Fry, and the new level would como out at 280 feet above Bowen-street. Mr Fry's scheme would givea grade of 1 in 14 in Shortland-sti*eet,and 1 in 9in Princes-street. The report being then read pointed out that the object of Mr Fry's motion was to take wheel traflic by way of Eden Crescent instead of Princes-street. This,however could be done better by build ing a retaining wall at the bottom of Princes street and cutting a road through St. Paul's Church site. Shortland - street would then be cut to its proper or permanent level, and Princes-street would remain as before. In this case it would be necessary to ar range with the trustees of St. Paul's site for the width of a road to be taken off their land. After briefly referring to Mr Baker's plan, the approximate _ cost of works at different depths and cuttings, also cost of retaining wall, and necessary fencing was given. The Chairman then referred briefly to the varioua schemes, and finally approved of tlie permanent level fixed by tho Engineer. There was no chance he considered to carry either scheme through. He finally moved, "That the road to Emily Place (18 feet wide) be made at the same time." A long, discussion then followed, Mr Grey moving his motion of the last meeting, "That a cutting of .14ft. 6in. at the top of Shortland-street be formed be adopted." Mr Fry moved, "That it be suggested to the Council to have a legal document prepared, including the alternative levels, costing L 9,539, and L 7,185 to be submitted to the property-holders for their signatures and approval." Mr Winks moved "That the levels be fixed as recommended by the Engineer, and proceeded with as far as tho funds go on permanent works." Mr Withy considered it a question whether a com mittee should be appointed from the pro perty-holders. Mr Kidd said that ho was simply in favour of the deep cutting, 14ft., but felt sure that it was impossible to accomplish it, owing to the fact that those .most interested demanded com pensation, or were averse to the pre sent levels of Princes-street being in terfered with, and as the work was estimated to cost close on LIO,OOO, and the ward had only L 5,000 to its credit, it would be as well to face the work that could be done with the money available. Mr Baker's scheme looked a very practicable one as an outlet by way of Eden Crescent to Symonds-street, and should be well con sidered if Princes-street is to be given up. There were, he was sorry to see,no Princes street owners present, and it was hardly likely that they would consent to Mr Fry's motion, which would give then a grade of 1 in 9 instead of the present one of 1 in 14. It really meant the changing the grade of Princes-street to benefit that of Shortland-street at a cost of LIO.OOO. Mr Fry finally-withdrew his motion, and moved, "That his plan of a grade of 1 in 9 in Princes-street, and a 14 feet 6 inch cutting at the top of Shortland-street, be adopted." Mr Dufaur seconded the motion, which was carried by 9 to 2. Dr. Purehas moved, "That in the event of compensation being required the City Council be requested to apply to Par liament for the necessary authority to alter the levels 'of Shortland, Princes, and other streets, in order to ob tain a practicable grade for traflic from the Railway Wharf to Govern ment House and neighbourhood." Mr Kempt seconded the motion, which was carried. The chairman intimated that at the next meeting of the City Council he would move, "That the Council grade Shortland-street into Emily Placo with a view of making tho roads and allotments in Emily Place available for traffic."

LICENSING MEETINGS.

Newton.

The annual meeting of the committee of this district was called for four p.m. yester day, at the office of the secretary (Mr Sea man), but there not being a. quorum pre sent, the meeting lapsed. . As there were no. applications for licenses for the district, there was really no business to transact.

MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.

John Mason, a debtor under examina tion by tho Official Assignee, stated that lie had been a commission agent in Auckland for twenty years, during which time he had never before been in financial difficulties. His principal commission had been received from a house in the .South, but this had considerably do creased during the last nine months, owing to the destruction of their works by fire. This and the general depression had caused him to get into arrears. Owing to the refusal ot a Canterbury firm to honour his bills ho had been compelled to file. He kept proper books posted up to date, in which all his business transactions were re corded. The unsecured liabilities to eight creditors amounted to L 973 ls lOd. Three of these alone amounted to LS9I 19s 2d. His secured debts were a first and second mortgage on Northcote property valued at L1,'250. This was mortgaged for L 768, of which L6IS was subject to interest at 6 per cent, and Ll5O at Bank interest. In addition to this L4B2surplus from securities, hi- assets were: Book debts estimated to produce Lso,furniture L 25, and Ll5O put down for mining shares of doubtful value.

CHEAP MATTRESSES

A BEYELATION.

An extraordinary exposuro of trade prac tices has just been brought under the notice of the local authorities, and is engaging their attention. Somo timo ago a man resident in Ponsonby bought at a Quoen strect auction mart a new spring mat tress, and a fow weeks Inter his wife was confinod upon it. It was no ticed that a .trango and olTensivo odour, for which it was impossible to ac count, proceeded from tho mattress, and that some liquid substance was exuding from its interior. It was therefore cut open, when it was found that the stuffing was composed of the sappy stalks and leaves of the common arum lily, shav ings, dock leaves, grass, flax etc., and to crown all a stone evidently scooped up with the other refuse. It was ascertained from the auctioneers that the mattress wns sent in for sale by a man named Hatfield, and that another of his products has since beon returned to the mart by a dissatisfiod purchaser. It was also opened and found to be mado up like the other. Tho matter was brought under tho notice of Inspector Goldie, who is making inquiry with a view of ascertaining wbother there is any law by which such practices can bo put a stop to. Nothing can justify the ii.se of such materials as were placed in this mattress ; neverthe less, tho public must accept a share of tho blame. A spring mattress is good value for from L 2 to L 2 10s, and if peoplo will not pay more than 15s for such an article, they can hardly expect to bo well served. This is tho prico nt which Hntfiold's goods havo been selling at the auction marts—never moro than Ll—and on such starvation rates of remuneration he is struggling to live. Of corn-so tho salo of such goods as these is an injury to tho manufacturer who puts first-class work on what he turns out of his establishment, and who finds it impossible to compete whilo such articles, from mere cheapness, iind a ready sale.

ST. BENEDICT'S CHURCH

The following tenders have been received for the erection of St. Benedict's Church in brick : —Chas. Rhodes, L 5,183 ; J. J. 'Holland, L 5,257: Lynch, L 5.292 ; Mat thews, L5,4_0; Mell, L 5,418 10s ; Farrell, L 5,480 10s; R. Kay, L 5.673; Rossor, L.,849; Ellingham, 1.5,9.30 ; Todd, L 5.950 ; O'Con nell, L 6,673. As Mr Rhodes is considerably the lowest tender and a well-known builder to boot, he is pretty certain to get the con tract.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

An employee, named Micheal McGrath, of tho Union Sash and Door Company,met with a serious accident whilo working at a circular saw at the Mechanics' Bay mill this morning. Through some in advertence his hand came in contact with the saw, and the whole upper portion, in cluding tho fingers, was cut- off. Ho was removed to.the Hospital.
