Or. Mackenzie said that lr:un the vorv first he 'opposed i'lie tunnel altogether. but he was overruled by Air Climie and the council generally. He did not agree with putting pipes in. but he strongly supported eoncretin" - tbe tunnel. The Mayor suggested that the AYater AYorks C ommittoe slum Id put in a report as to wliat tliev thought .should be done in the matter for consideration at the next meeting. Tho suggestion was embodied m tho form of n resolution and adopted. . "Ts arbitration possilbe?' And is . it probable? AVill it make 'war' to ho a thing of tbe past?

The tendency with some travelling footballers to regard their representative visits to other centres as something in the nature of a rreo-auv-easy picnic, was emphatically discouraged on Monday evening by 1 the Ota."o Football Association.

lankment, Or. Hannan, as c.ha.iriiian of the Streets Committeemovkl, and Cr Lancaster sreonded,, the | adoption of paragraph A. Or. France considered that tnio Government, under tho circumstances, . ought to put the culvert in, and as , nil amc'dinont, lie moved that the department be asked to bear the. cost of putting in a culvert. Durino- the recent storms the culverts ; wore absolutely unaMe to cope with the rush' of water. This was particularlv so in t,lie case of Devon street. The Town Clerk then read a letter from the district engineer which tlie> council 'had received some months ago. In this, -the Engineer stated that the cost of putting in a culvert in that locality would tall on the borough. Cr. France -opined that the Engineer knew nothing dih- it t'h.e facts of the. case or about drainage. Messrs Jones and Collier, o? Tvne street, who live near street end, attended as a. deputation, and Mr Jones urged tivit tb© culvert was far too .small to : opo with the flow of water. He that a culvert should he put in at a lower level under the pro ent railwav crossing. Thie exis'ti„rr culvert was too high. Or. France held tliat in- Devon street the Railway Department was entirely responsible. Subsequently lie withdrew his amendment. The mrr.'raph was then adopted, as was nk> clause B. Tlie Mayor suggested I'hat tbe District Engineer be as' - i; to meet tine Streets Oounmrfci& - : ind accompanv them over tlie ij.v- 1 ifiilar locality. A motwm to this effect was agreed to.
