There was a spiritod discussion at tho County meeting yesterday in regard to a letter from the Hon. Minister of Public Works where the latter charged the Council with hostility *o his department in regard to the protective works at Ivawhaka Creek. For the Council’s part it was averred that there was not any hostility but there was objection to xno Government proposal for the protection work suggested. Tho Counoil acted in good faith on the advice of its overseer who has had years of experience in works of the kind, and the Government plan, was not considered efficient to cure tho trouble. While the Council opposed any expenditure of its own funds for .the work, it was not responsible for any hostile act to stop the Government carrying out our expenditure in its own way, and it was decided to state this view to the Minister. —STEVENS’ HEALTH SALT—the salt that sweetens life is not a nauseous medicine; just a pleasant effervescing aperient in a most appetising and palatable form. 2s, stores and chemists.— Advt.
