AUCKLAND INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATION.

A special general meeting of the members of tho above Association was held last even ing in Bell's Buildings, Wyndham-stvcet, There was a good attendance, tlie President of the Association, Mr George Fraser, pre siding. The business was opened by the Secretary reading the. minutes .of the last

general meeting, which wore con Sinned. Tho Chairman said that the object of the meeting was to announce to them the can didates which the Association in company with other kindred. Associations had de cided to support in the forthcoming elections. They were as follows: — Auckland Central, Sir George Grey; Auckland North, Mr H. Farnal ; Auck land West, Mr J. M. Shera ; Newton, lion. MrTolo; Ponsonby,Air E. Cooper; Parnell, Mr Moss; Eden, Mr E. Mitchelson ; Wai temata, no selection made ; Manukau, ton Maurice O'Rorke: Franklin North, Mr a. Lawi-y, Franklin South, no selection; Coromandel, Mr Mackay. The Chairman explained that in some instances the Com mittee of the Association had to give way to the other deputies. They had wished to select Mr Goldie for Auckland West and Mi- S. Vaile for Auckland North, but the majority of the votes were in favour ot others; therefore the Association had to give way. '.. , . Mr Bell said that the' selection hat caused an amount of feeling, bub he hoped it would not enter into the operations ot the Association. He thought that he was not out of place in asking those present to rescind the selection made and go back to the men they had originally chosen. (Ap plause.) He therefore proposed that the whole action of the Committee be rescinded, and that they, as individuals, act as they choose in the matter of chposing representa tives.

Mr Trenwith seconded the motion. Mr W. Hodge spoke in support of the motion. Some of the selections were ridiculous. For instance, an importer was amongst the candidates selected by the Auckland Industrial Association. Mr Farnall also last year counted as an avowed free trader; while now, when the pinch came, he was put forward as a pro tectionist. When he saw the selection made he could not help saying, "Where 8 the doctors that they don't examine these Committees?" (Laughter.) AtNewtonhe, for one, would wish to Bee, Mr Garratt elected in preference to Mr Tole. Mr Brame asked for the names of the gentlemen on each of the committees. The Chairman said that there were only two bodies represented, as the Radical Reform League had nob taken part in the meeting. The Secretary read the names of repre sentatives :-Trade ani Labour Council: Messrs Tudehope, Hannigan, Jennings, and Roycroft. Industrial Association : Messrs Fraser, Bell, Lodder, and Winks. Mr Winks explained that he only acted as a substitute.

Mr Kelly said that as the committees were equally balanced it was evident that some of their members must have ratted.

The Chairman explained that ho for; one would not vote for Mr Vaile, as he believed that he was only trying to run his railway hobby. In reply to Mr Menzies, the Chairman said that Mr Shera was not a member of the Association, while Mr Goldie had been a member for some time.

Mr Bell said that Mr Goldie had joined the Association soon after ib bad been formed.

Mr Brame confirmed this statement. He said that it was only later on, when pressure was brought to bear upon Mr Goldie, that he consented to stand for Auckland West.

The Chairman said that it was quite possible that, although Mr Shera was an importer and"liad been a free trader, he would come out strongly in favour of the objects of the Association. (Derisive laughter.) Mr Hodge said he could easily explain why Mr Shera should have been chosen, when three out of the four delegates of the Trades and Labour Council v/ere members of Mr Sb'era _ Committee. (Laughter and cries of "Name !")

Mr Hunter doubted Mr Hodge's state ment that the delegates of the Trades and Labour Council were bona Me workmen. Mr Masefield also spoke in support of the motion. He considered it a mistake for the Association to take up political work. They should simply vote, as an Association, for men who would assist the industries. Ho would vote in the interests of their Association, bub not with any other Association.

Mr Atkin said it was quite evident that some of their delegates had acted indi vidually instead of under the directions of the General Committee. They must have protectionists, and he for one would not vote for a fvee trader. (Applause.)

The motion was then pub and adopted almost unanimously. Mr Cranwell moved and Mr Menzies se conded, "That this meeting now discuss the claims of the various candidates for Parlia mentary seats, wibh a view to their sup port by the Association.:' Mr Brown moved as an amendment that the Association make no recommendation, bub simply vobe for protectionists. Mr Pye seconded the motion -pro forma.

Mr Leys pointed out tlie absolute neces sity for united action towards electing pro tectionists.

Upon the question being put to the meet ing, the resolution was adopted by a large majority. Mr Thome thought that the Association were going a little beyond the objects for which it was formed when it selected mem bers for Parliament. Selection of Representatives.

The following candidates were then de cided upon by a show of hands :—Auck land Central: Sir George Grey ; Auckland North, Mr S. Vaile (only 8 hands were held up for M. Thompson, and 3 for Mr Farnall, while Mr Vaile's supporters numbered 42.) Auckland West: Mr Goldie, 64 ; Mr Morri son, 0; Mr Shei a, 1. Newton :Mr T01e,32 ; Mr Withy, 4; Mr Garratt, 22. Ponsonby : Mr Wright, 57; Mr Cooper, 22 ;Mr Peacock, 1. Parnell: Mr Moss, 56 ; Mr S. George, 1. Eden : Mr Mitchelson, 42 ; Mr Connell, 2. Waitemata : Mr Monk, 42 ; Mr Reader Wood, 0. Manukau : Sir Maurice O'Rorke, 38 ;Mr Osborne, 0. Franklin North :Mr F. Lawry, 35 ;Mr Bucldand, 3. At this point Mr Atkin moved that the Association proceed no further in the country districts, Tis at present they had little influence in the Dut districts. This was seconded by Mr Tennc and carried unanimously. The meeting then dispersed.

THE TAURANGA TRAMWAY SCHEME.

The scheme submitted by Captain Turner, Tauranga County Engineer, was stated by him as follows in his memorandum :—•' My proposal is a steam 24 or 30 inch gauge iramway from, say, Tauranga Harbour to Pangaroa to intersect the Makebu-Retorua Jtoad on the plains, which would in my Estimation cost about £30,000, and would ifford all the requirements of transit both 'or goods and passengers for many years to iome. The rate of speed would be, say, 10 jo 12 miles per hour. The interest on •utlay at 5 per cent, would amount to, say, £1,500, and with the increased traffic which would result from cheap carriage of pro duce, settlement of land, etc., the work would go far to paying interest besides the working expenses," After ma'kingscvsral miggeations as to how

the money to construct the tramway might be raised, Capt.Turnerconcludedasfollows: —" I may say that the development of ie Puke Raneriuru and Pangaroa lands will do more to the advancement of this county than any other work. It will mean a large export of maize and wheat, for the pro duction of which there is no more suitable land anywhere. It will greatly ! increase the county revenue through ! settlement, and on the other hand tho pro posed tramway would considerably lessen the expenditure on maintenance of roads by removing heavy traffic ; while the con struction of it would afford labour to those now so much in need, and would assist in tiding over tho present depression. I would I also suggest that tho line of tramway should take a course with curves and grades suitable for a railway so that it can be expanded when the time arrives." After a short conversation, in the course of which I the inevitable suggestion to ask Govern j ment assistance was made, the County I Council adjourned consideration of the j important subject till next meeting.

VAGARIES OF A LUNATIC.

(IVY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, this day. An eccentric character named David A. Johnstone, who formerly acted as com mercial traveller for a Dunedin firm, created a sensation yesterday afternoon by enter ing the office of Mr Skorrett, solicitor, who formerly acted for him in a lawsuit, and bundling a number of papers into a cab for the purpose of carrying them away. The clerks were unable to prevent him from carrying out his design, and he explained that his object was to '_ ob tain proofs and confound his enemies." The bailiff of the Magistrate's Court, who happened to be in tho vicinity, and know ing the poor fellow to have lately been of weak mind, managed to. humour him and take him to the Police Station. Here he was lured out of the cab, which was sent back to Mr Skerrett's office with the heap of papers, while he was taken into custody. Johnstone created some amusement by entering the Court while Mr Skerrett was engaged in conducting a case, and endeavouring to force that gentleman ao-ainsb his will to accompany him. The unfortunate man was subsequently committed to the Lunatic Asylum.

GOLD DISCOVERIES IN WAIKATO.

(DV TELEIiKAI'II. —OWN COKHKSrONDENT, )

Hamilton, this day,

Regarding the discovery of payable gold on Mr J. B. Smith's property in the Waitoa district, an old Victorian digger, who has just como into Hamilton from there, informed me that there was a bright prospect in store for the dis trict, judging from the nature of the wash dirt which he examined. Of course, be said, it will take time to develop. Up to the present there is nothing whatever to warrant a rush to the district, as the ex pense of working will be great. No further news has been received about the gold discovery at Maungataubari. Messrs Sands and party, who left Hamilton early in the week for the locality, have not returned up to the time of sending this wire.

Devonport Water Supply.

(To the Editor.)

Sir.—The meeting called by our Mayor which was held on Monday evening for the consideration of a water supply appears to me to be a very uncalled-for proceeding on his part. lam prohibited from attend ing night meetings, and so wan not present. For my knowledge of what book place I am solely indebted to your report of the meet ing. In my opinion the Mayor, in his open ing speech failed to give any substantial reason for calling the ratepayers together. He told the meetine frankly there was nothing " hidden behind this action." They had spent £200 digging a well, which he had opposed. They then requested their engineer to prepare a scheme to cost £10,000. This was done, except that it might cost £13,000, but he had shown them how it could be brought within the sum named in their instructions. This had been submitted to Mr Errington and approved. Now this is all as it should be. nothing could be more regular. Where was the hitch ? We elected him as Mayor, and with nine other gentlemen to form a council, that they might do these things for us, to prevent the necessity of the whole body of ratepayers being called together to decide upon every thing to be done. The Mayor should have clearly put before the meeting on what points he, apart from the Council, required direction upon. Imagine the Chairman of the Harbour Board, after the Board had directed their Engineer to prepare plans for constructing tees or widening the wharf, and, when these are ready, calling a meeting of the constituency apart from the Board, and asking them for directions how to proceed! Everybody would exclaim, there is something wrong somewhere, either with tho Engineer, the Board, or the Chair man. Then look at the direction given. It was embodied in as ill-ad justed a resolution as ever was submitted to a public meeting. Its mover,l suppose, for the sake of immor talising his name in connection with the matter, was willing, firstly, to accept the addition of "drainage scheme;" then, secondly, he was willing to revoke his deci sion to add these words; and, thirdly, he was willing to add "from LakeTakapuna ;" and, fourthly, he was willing to withdraw the whole of the last half of nis resolution, and thus it was passed in the shape of an in struction to the Council to advertise for competitive schemes. Now, whether this motion was inspired by the Mayor does not appear, but I think when the mover said, "They should not bind themselves pre maturely to any particular man or scheme," he should have put him right by tell ing him they had a "particular man" —their engineer—and they had a scheme which had cieen endorsed by Mr Errington. Again referring to the Harbour Board illustration, what would everybody con cerned think of a resolution from their con stituency instructing them to advertise for "competitive schemes" against their own engineer ? But it is, however, no good speculating further. Such a proceeding would, I think, be impossible outside Devonport. I am sorry the engineer should have spoken of being "persecuted." I don't think anyone intends that, but every allowance must be made to a man of perhaps over-sensitive temperament being treated thus by those who in public should have been his stoutest defenders. Let me now just point out the position. We have already uselessly spent £200 in sinking a well. We have plans on our hands involv ing an expenditure of £10,000 ; theso must be paid for either by salary or commission, so that whether we got our water supply or not, we are committed to heavy expenditure. There is an overdraft at the bank, and well there may be. What I recommend is (and I hope I shall not be considered as acting disrespect fully to my fellow ratepayers) that atthe next meeting of the Council they quietly ignore that part of the resolution about advertis ing for competitive schemes, and that they interpret the passing of the resolution as affirming tho desire to iiave a water supply provided. Let each good-humouredly bury the past, and put their heads together to recommend one of the three schemes they , already have, and come to us for power to borrow the money with as little delay as possible.—lam, &c., John Milne.
