CHRISTCHURCH.
(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Wednesday. Defective City Drainage. In the Provincial Council, last night, a motion that £25,000 be voted for the drainage of Christchurch and suburbs, to be expended by a Board of Commissioners specially appointed, was negatived. The Government opposed it, on the plea that there was no money to spare. The land sales of the past two months realised £30,000 in excess of the Government estimates. The bad state of drainage has caused an immense amount of sickness. The City Council are powerless to raise more funds, by rate or otherwise.
