Manawatu County Council.
♦ •'■ ■ :' .. •■■ -,'■ ' .' At the evening sitting of tthe May meeting of the Council, after our reporter had left, the important subject of the abolition of riding accounts came on for discussion. CrEockstrow proposed, and Cr Gray seconded, That, in consequence of the Roads and Bridges Construction Act demanding separate aocounts to be kept for each special work, it is unnecessary to keep the riding accounts as hitherto* and therefore the riding acoonnts bt be discontinued from this date. The Chairman made a long speech in support of his proposition. The Council then went into committee on the question. Crs Sanson, Hadfield, and MoLennan supported the resolution. Cr Fry objected to the matter being brought on without notice, and said the proposal had taken them unawares;' Cr Linton agreed with these remarks. Cr Mcßeth saw no harm in the proposition, but thought thd ratepayers would object to it. The matter was then discussed in a conversational manner, and the question was ultimately put to the Council with the following result :— Ayes— Crs : Gray, Hadfield, Sanson, McLennan and Book, strow. Noes— Crs Bruce, Mcßeth, Linton and Fry. The resolution was then reported to the Council and passed. After the accounts had been passed, the Council adjourned at 10 p.m. *
