Provincial Council.

Tuesday, February 16th. The Council met a little after 5 p.m. Present,—the Speaker, Messrs." Ollivier, Cass, Duncan, Haslewood, Hall, Sprot,Harman,Fooks' Fyfe, Bishop, Rhodes, Davis, Dobbs, Blakiston Wyatt, Waitt, Alport, Packer, Woodford, Cookson, Studholme, and Higgins. ; Another week was granted to the Committee on Lingard's petition to bring up their report. Mr. Ollivier laid on the table copies of the correspondence between the Provincial Government and the Registrar of Deeda on the subject of office accommodation; also between the Provincial Government and Mr. H. Selfe on the subject of the English agency. Inwood's Mill Bill was read a third time, and passed as Session IX, No. 2. The Slaughter House Amendment Bill -was passed through committee without discussion. Mr. Fooks on behalf of Mr. Thomson asked ■what steps were to be taken for the rebuilding of the Bricks bridge. Mr. Ollivier said that a contract had been just taken for clearing the river of weeds; when that, -was done the bridge would be restored and perhaps placed in a more convenient situation. CHRIBTCHORCH TOWN HALL.

Mr. Packer r.ose to move Government to place on the estimates a sum of money in aid of the Christchurch Town Hall. The house would recollect that assistance had been given before to the building. The main portion was now erected and used partly by the Government for the sittings of. the Magistrate's Court. It was found that to supply the wants of this Court additional accommodation would be necessary, and the shareholders were prepared to subscribe £350 if the Government granted £250. Showing their willingness to do what they could, they might fairly ask aid. It was a pity that the building should remain in an unfinished state, and the shareholders were willing to do their part. With them there was no question, of profit; they did not anticipate any. He would move that his Honor be requested to place on the estimates a sum of £250 to assist in" building additional rooms to the Hall. Mr. Ollivier would only remark that Government would by granting this sum have advanced £550 to £950 paid by shareholders, and for this he thought they ought to require a separate room for the use of the_ court. He should like to know if it was their intention to provide accommodation to this extent. Mr. Packer said it was intended to build three rooms, two of which would be occupied by a caretaker of the premises. He could not "promise that the other room should be devoted exclusively to the use of the Government, but they could have any fixtures therein which they required, and the shareholders would be always ready to afford them any amount of accommo- • dation either in that robin or the large hall. The motion was carried to a division, — Aye: —Messrs. HalL, Harman, Rhodes, Waitt, Fooks t Blaklston, Bobbs,^. -Woodford, < Packer. No:—Messrs. Sprot, tHasiswoba'rFyfe.Lßishop, Alport, and Davis.—-6. The Canterbury Association's Reserves Amendment Bill was then read a third iirae and passed as Session IX, No. 3. ,

COMMITTEE OP SUPPLY. Mr. Rhodes moved the reconsideration of the items of the Superintendent's and Provincial Secretary's salaries, -with a Hew of adding to the amount put down-to then. The merits of the case -were generally knovn. Government officials holding permanent : ppointinents had their salaries raised, and the ;e officers, whose tenure was less certain, and who were chiefly responsible, deserved at least is much consideration. He would recommend he increase of the Superintendent's salary to £76), and of the Provincial Secretary's to £400 pel annum. Mr. Waitt seconded the motion. Mr. Fooks enquired if it w s the intention of the Government to bring dow 1 a bill to fix the payment of these and other jayments of a like nature for a term of years, as ras intended to be done at the last session of thejCouncil? Mr. Ollivier observed tha as the question of amount must refer rather tc the office than to the individual holding it at tffi time, he could be acquitted of indelicacy in enfering into the discussion. He agreed with M. Fooks that the payments should be placed ona more permanent footing, but he ■ thought thaif question need not be entertained at present: Eb had great satisfaction at finding that the m&ion for increasing the salary of His Honor emjiated from a gentleman so independent of ill parties as Mr. Rhodes, and he must expresshis concurrence in the step. A very large expeaiture was entailed upon the office of Superintenent, so much as to j reduce that portion of his sairy which could be applicable to his domestic pvrposes to something under .£2OO. The Superintddent, as the repre- | sentative of the Governor! and as the chief magistrate of the province, jhould be placed in a position to be easily able p show hospitality to visitors from neighbourinj provinces and the other colonies, or to his Exellency the Governor, if need be. He thougc the sum proposed was one which would meet he necessities of the office. As to the Provincij Secretary's salary, he must say that the sumps not sufficient to induce gentlemen to give ultheir private avocations, aud apply themselvj exclusively to the duties of the office; and asjo persons of leisure were to be found, this fact pme of the greatest importance. It was impofible, he spoke from experience, for a gentlemaito carry on his pri- , vate business together witjthe business of. the; office, and hence it.becaij necessary to place; the salary so as to remu jrate the officer in a j manner proportionate to anrdinary professional; income. The Secretary, bajdes his office duties,; was charged with the sui| vision of the other, departments of Governmel, and by the rules of the Council was the on] responsible to the; people for the acts of the ©vernment. : Mr. Sprot cordially surorted the motion. : Mr. Bowes hoped thatpe bill alluded to by' Mr. Fooks would be brodit forward without, delay. If so, it .could belsily passed through; this session. He would |o add a suggestion;

that a house be provided for the Superintendent, which would be equal to an increase of salary. Mr. fepnoT considered that the suggestion came too late to be of use at present Mr. EO6KB thought if the bill referred to were brought in it would not delay the matter an hour. It would be passed through in three days. / Mr. Alport expressed a strong opinion that no more votes should be made permanent. It was the distinct prerogative of the Council to consider the votes of money from year to year and that power must not be neglected. The house would be always found' to deal liberally with officials, and he would always oppose the placing of suras among the permanent charges. The motion was then put and passed for the half year as follows :— Superintendent's office £350 Provincial Secretary ... 200! PUBLIC WOEKB. The consideration of the sums placed on the estimates for the construction of public works was then resumed from the point at which the committee adjourned on the 1 lth inst. The following items were psssed:— Kaiapoi bridge to Rangiora junction ... £500 Rangiora junction to river Ashley partially metalling 300 River Ashley to Saltwater Creek 30 Saltwater Creek to Weka pass * 100 Weka pass to Waikari junction ... ... 50 Waikari junction to Hurunui 50 The last two items had been reduced from £800 and £200 as originally proposed. ! Mr. OjuLivtek proposing as the next vote a sum of £200 for a road from the Kaikainui creek to the Rangiora road, a grant which was I recommended in the report of the committee but not placed on the estimates, the consideration of it was objected to and ruled to be out of order. The next item on the estimates was a grant of I £500 for cutting a bridle-path 40 miles up the valley of the Hurunui, and a horse track along the frontier into'the valley of the Grey. Mr. Olxivier said that with this sum it was iutendel to open a track through the bush at the heal of the great lake wide enough for pack horses or for driving stock. Country was already taken up on the line to the extent of 60,000 acres, and an amount of 200,000 acres was estimated to ■ exist there, which would be opened by the proposed road. The committee would see how important an object it was besides to secure communication with the timber in this district from the bare Hurunui plains, and to have the road marked out so that land should not be bought across it and so .'stop the direct line. Mr. Bowes would remind the house of the promise to endeavour to set apart a sum for building schools, and he thought that this was a good opportunity to consider it. They were now being called upon to vote large sums for : works which could not possibly executed in six , months. Besides, he would ask them to compare the advantages of setting at once about the con- ■ struction of school-houses which were pressinsly needed, and of making roads which could as well be done without for six months longer. - M^-Waitt thought that the Council would -ins making a great^inistake in voting a sum even mj^^-^^^r^-^^<"^-: ti« hod reliable lntprmation given him that there was no. land to be opened up; ~ If there was, they would have better information in six months' time, and the vote should i>e postponed till then. Mr. Hall moved as an amendment "that it is inexpedient to vote any money for a road to the West Coast till further information be obtained as tojhe country through Vhich_the road would pass." There was every reason for encouraging the opening up of roads to the pastoral districts. but this was not one of them. Mr. Dobson, on his return from his expedition, showed that he had taken a remarkably favourable view of the country discovered, but those who followed were not so well pleased. He had seen a letter from a gentleman who had lately explored that district distinctly denying that there was any more country to be opened up there. The extent known was about fifty or sixty thousand acres, while there were other districts of ten times that extent, and occupied, but not at all more accessible at present. Until the extent of country to be benefitted was really known, he would advise the postponement of the vote. Mr. Harmax remarked that a sum of £300 had been already spent in opening up the Hurunui valley. Considering the extent of available country benefitted, he could not but think that that sum was sufficiently large. Mr. Ollivier said that Mr. Hall treated the work as one of questionable utility, and wished for more information about it it; the information was all before the house. As to an accusation against the Provincial Engineer of having wasted his time in an exploring expedition, he would submit, that the narrative of the circumstances of the case quite removed the imputation. As to the letter referred to, he could say that he knew its contents; the country talked about was there called 'all bosh;' but he also knew that the writer had without delay despatched a messenger on horseback to the Nelson land office to take up 140,000 acres, which were in that province but in the same district. That country was connected with this province, and supplies &c. woujd be carried to it and from it along the line of road now proposed. It was not impossible, also, that it might at some early period become a portion of this province. Still the vote was. in the hands of the house, and if the committee thought it untimely he would withdraw it until a future opportunity. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. The next items were passed as follows:— i Hagloy park, to 4th mile of South I -..road, metalling, ....,£I2OO 0 0 Setting^ out road to Otago froutier, and opening track, 150 miles 200 0 0 On the latter vote Mr. Ollivier 6tated that arrangements would be made for maintaining a ferry over the Rangitata ns recommended by Mr. St.udholme. A report would be first obtained as to the best place for establishing it. Mr. Rhodes must observe that the country to the southward did uot obtain so much consideration as that to the northward. What was called the Mackenzie country, or properly the Waitangi plain, was entirely cut off from the rest of the province; owing to the want of a road the settlers on the Waitangi com muni-

cated with a shipping port in the province of Otago instead of with Timaru; and thus a portion of the trade of this province was lost to it. It was due to the district that Government should place on the estimates a sum for opening the Waitangi plain which was fully occupied. A much larger sum than "£2OO was required for the Southern road. Mr. Spkot took the opportunity, in the absence of Mr. Studholme, of reminding the Provincial Secretary of a promise made on a motion of that gentleman that £50 would be applied to the ferry over the Waitangi river. He would recommend that that sum be added to the £200 now under vote. The motion was then put and carried, the sum voted being £250. Lincoln road from fifth mile to Ellesmere junction £500. Forming and metalling Hoon Hay road ... £600. The List work was stated to be from the Lin • coin road to the foot of the hills, and necessary to open- up the timber district, the road in its present state being impassable during winter. Mr. Cass remarked that to that bush the people of Christchurch looked for a supply of fuel, and that supply would be stopped altogether if the ' road were not metalled before winter. Mr. Alpoet believed that the present was exactly one of those cases where the interest in the road being of a private nature the formation of the road ought to be left to private enterprise. The grant at most should be in aid of contributions. The • sum of money proposed was large and something ought really to be done by the proprietors of the land through which the road passed. Mr. Harmas noticed the fact that a large quantity of the land through which the road passed was unsold, and therefore the Government were in the position of proprietors. It must be recollected in talking of the expense that the road was six or seven miles long. The vote then passed, as also the following:— General improvement of Fendail Town road £50 Messrs. Bowen, Haslewood, and WooJford, thought this amount very small. Bridge over Avon connecting Papanui and Kiccarton ... £300 Ohoka Bush road, forming and bridges ... ... ... £400 Rangiora direct road ... ...£IOOO In answer to Mr. Higgins and others, Mr: Olliviee stated that the last two work 3 were in connection with one another. Mr. Bray had surveyed the swamp in that district, and reported that by a simple system of drainage I land might be reclaimed to the extent of ten to ! twelve thousand acres. The line proposed to ! Rangiora was a diversion from that first set out, which passed over the very lowest portion of the swamp where complete drainage could not easily be effected. • Both rotes -were adopted. The next item proposed was,— Branch from Akaroa road to Purau Bush. ... ... £500 "-"EWoisjcc* of mis, itwasistafea, was to provide

j Lyttelton with timber/posts and rails, &c. j Jlr. Alpobt objeetecL- The road would only jopen the bush to speculators and would not I make posts and rails or firewood any cheaper to i the inhabitants. Timber could be obtained with | equal ease from any bay in the peninsula. This i was far from a work of necessity and would be I used only for the private benefit of a few. ; Mr. Habmax supported the views of Mr. > Alport. ! Mr. Rhodes assented to the remark that tim- ! her could be got with equal ease from any bay jin the peninsula. He had taken the trouble to I inspect the bush that this road was intended to i open up; and he found that the timber was tad | and scanty and at least three miles from the water. In Pigeon bay and elsewhere far better could be obtained within a stone's throw of the | sea. Though he spoke against his own interests, he must say that he saw no advantage which could accrue to the people of Lyttelton from opening this road. Ti;e motion was put and carried to a division. Aye:—Messrs. OHivier, Duncan, and Cass—3. No:—Messrs. Haslewood, Waitt, Higgins, Harman, Sprot, Fyfe, Bishop, Bowen, Alport, Davis, Rhodes, Dobbs, "Woodford, Fooks, Packer and Wyatt—l6. The motion was accordingly negatived. The next item stood on the estimates thus:—lmprovement of bridle roads to the bays, £250. This was stated to include the continuation of the Governor's Bay road from Gibbie's flat to the Lincoln and Ellesmere districts.

Mr. "Rhodes thought the sum proposed very small; the roads to the bays of the Peninsula were very much wanted and their formation was expensive. ' Then as to the Akaroa direct road, perhaps all the contracts would be.let by the end of March, bat if not, a id no sum were placed on the estimates, the people would have to do without a road. It must not be forgotten that it'was of the greatest importance to secure a ready communication between the different parts of the Peninsula, which wei*e now quite cut off from one another. It was necessary to the unity of the peninsula as an electoral district, and to its proper representation. For instance, at the last election, a day or so before the nomination a candidate was brought into the field by a requisition from the people of Akaroa alone, and was pledged to devote himself to the interests of that towu. If the bays were so cut off from the centre as to render this possible the proper consequence would be to make the north side of the peninsula a separate district from Akaroa.

Mr. Davis moved, as an amendment, that the sum ou the vote be increased to £500. The works required were well known to be of the greatest difficulty and of primary importance. Mr. Harsian observed that from what he could see of the works now in progress on the Akaroa direct road, it was intended to complete the job before the time expired. As to the other roads on the Peninsula, he could speak to the difficulties to be overcome. Mr. Oj-uyier a^rei^d that it would be best tovote £5f30, and to draw the Provincial Engineer's attention to the necessity of the case. Gharteria Bay Road to Furou ... : £6Q 3Vl.r, Sopwgt thought aucfi a «n;).H:Wum;would be useless fqr good, and had, better not bespiint. ■

Mr. Qi'Mvißit said there was on the contrary an actual necessity for A'6o, or the sum would not have teen placed there. It would do as much as possible till the Koads .Diversion Bill .should come down. . The motion was carried. Votes for new lines of roads were then considered. The first was:— Bridle road from the Waitohi Plains <to the Valleys of the Upper Waipara and Upper Ashley, 25 miles, £250 Mr. Packkk said that he approved of the energy of the Government, but did not think it well applied. Looking at the Estimates of the previous year, as compared with the sums spent under them, he found at the end of nine months more" than one-half unapplied. Next 3^ear it would no doubt he the same story over again. It was certain to be so unless the labour market was very much enlarged. He could iut see the use of voting money which, was not likely to be spent. Mr. Bishop agreed in this opinion, and would prefer to pass at once to the sums required for the current repairs of roads. Mr. Ollivikr explained that the works for which votes were taken last year had either been 'carried out or would be so before the end of the i j-ear, except -where some insuperable obstacle occurred; such as those to which the Koads Diversion JMII was intended to apply. The Government had not only money but all the means to carry out every other work which had been voted. After some further conversation the vote passed. Horse track tli rough Hare wood Forest into the Upper Valley of the Waimakariri... ... .£SOO Oji this point Mr. Ollivek could not say that a proper road had yet been found, but the country was now being surveyed, and when a favourable line was discovered the vote would be applied to it. . Mr. Haslbwood said that the road by HareTvood was not the proper line to take. The country that existed was on the south side of ithe-Wairaakariri, and the communication ought to be with Christ-church direct, not crossing the Waimakariri twice. As to the extent of couutry believed to exist there (400,000 acres), he was informed by persons who had explored it that there was not anything, like that extent. In fact, all that really existed was already taken up, and was of very moderate extent. Messrs. Harman and Higgixs also condemned the vote, and it was withdrawn. The following items came next, and were adopted without discussion:— Dray track from Cashmere to top of Port Hills .'..£100 Road from the 6th mile on Lincoln Road to Bush above Burkes valley £100 Dray track to coal district....... £100 Kow;ti to Double Corner .£IOO Saltwater creek to the foot of the downs, with two foot bridges £50

Progress was then reported, and the house resumed. The Lytteltan Oactom TTnnse Reserve Bill, slightly altered by recommendation of tne Uollector of Customs, was read a second time. Mr. Dobbsoii behalf of Mr. Davis moved for copies of correspondence between the Sheriff and the Provincial Engineer on the subject of the employment of prisoners on public works; and of instruction issued by the Provincial Government to the Sheriff on the same subject. Motion carried. Mr. Woooford asked if the Government intended to take any steps to place a post and rail fence from In wood's mill site to the Royal Hotel, i The great body of water which would be collected in that locality by the formation of the dam would be dangerous to foot passengers. Mr. OtxrvrEit said the Government was not insensible to the necessity of the work. He himself had personal experience of the danger. Attention would be directed to it. Notices of motion were then given and the j Council adjourned till next day. i

Webkesdat, jFebhuaky 17. The Council met at a little after 12 o'clock, noon. Present-, the Speaker, Messrs. OHivier, Cass, Studholme, Higgins, Cookson, Harman, Waitt, Fyfe, Spsot, Rhodes, Alport, Davis, Dobbs, Biakiston, Eooks, Wyatt, and Hall. The Slaughter-house Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed as Session IX., No. 4. CUSTOM HOUSE HESERVE BILL. The Honse then went into Committee to consider this Bill. On the first clause being read, Mr. ©llivier stated that the hospital at present stood on this reserve, but as it would be necessary to remove it, other arrangements would be made for providing a site for a hospital.

This and other clauses passed with some alterations m the wor.ding suggested by Mr. Wyatt. The house resumed and the" bill was reported. Mr. Ollivikk laid upon the table a statement of the Canterbury Association's Estate Account; Correspondence from Mr. Tan-; a statement as to travelling expences incurred by Mr. Hamilton; apd a communication from the Bursar of Christ's College, with reference to Cathedral Square. COMMITTEE OF STJPPLT. • The house then went into committee to proceed with the consideration of the Public Works Estimates.

The current repairs of roads included the following items -which were passed (except tha last) without any discussion. . Lyttelton bridlepath,4 mi1e5...... .£2OO Metalling and forming Sumner Road, .8 miles '. „ ]50 . " Repairs of Ferry Road, 4 miles .' 100 JNorth Road, 45 miles 175 • Biccartori Road, and rebuilding Ilagley Park bridge . „ ]I 0 Lincoln Roa.t 15 miles, and bridge over Heathcotft „...„..'. , -230 Miscellaneous _. „. '; 3 00 The last item included repairs of district bridges and culverts, • ileathcotc navigation, painting .beacons, &c.,. fencing Government tim.ber yard and building- sheet, tools for road party, pile engine, .timber truck, sheers, barrows &c, --■■■■•■■

Mr. Hall would suggest, it' the site for the woodyard was intended to be next the Land Office, that that locality was reserved for a Mechanics'lnstitute, and could not be altered. It would not be a very proper place for timber sheds and so forth;-and if a fence were put up, it was possible that the public would not respect it, and there would be no remedy. Some conversation followed, after which Mr. Ollivikk said the question of a proper site would be taken into consideration to sec whether the objection raised was a valid one, and,'if so, whether an unobjectionable site could be found. The next items' submitted and passed were Arterial drainage of Rangiora, Papanui and Lincoln Koad swamp .£IOOO Clearing and repairing main drains ... SO Clearing weeds from Avoji 500 With respect to the last vote — Mr. Ollivier explained that a contract had been entered into to clear the watercrcsses in the Avon from the estuary to the bricks, 20 to 30 feet wide, and 3 feet deep, until the end of March, 1559. Mr. Hall called the recollection of the committee to the river Hcathcote, clearing1 which river had been included in the vote *of the previous } rear; this vote had not been attended to by the Government. Then, as to the Avon, , why stop at tlie Bricks? Unless the river was cleared above as well as below, the annual trouble of clearing the lower part would be much greater. It would be better to make a thorough job of the whole at once. The Heathcote also should be attended to; it was now in the same state as the Avon was two 3*ears ago. Mr. Waitt . strongly objected to the grant. He was afraid of its being, as Mr. Hall said, made a 'thorough job' of. It was well known

that vratercfesses would not grow wherever salt water touched and that point might be considered the head of the navigation. Mr. Fooks supported the grant and referred to a vote of £450 of last session for the ' Avon cutting' which would lessen the length of the river considerably and render it navigable for a long distance up. Tiiat vote had been renewed from session to session and was not yet .used. .Mr. Ollivieu said the present contract for clearing the stream was to a certain extent experimental. For the sum named the river would be kept clear till the 31st of March, 1859; and then.if this had been successful they would be able to calculate the whole trouble and expense. The motion then passed. The next sums voted were;— Culverts to accommodation roads and bridges to open new district roads .... ... £500 ; Foot bridge over Avon at. ITagley Park, near the College site * . £G0 Survey of Waimakariri bar ... £60 Additional sheds, fencing in yards. and spiked roller for Lytteiton Gaol £250 The house then resumed and a message (No. 3) from his Honor the Superintendent was read, < referring to the vote of the previous evening j increasing the Superintendent's salary, and declining to sanction the vote, since the present '. salary* was sufficient, for ordinary exTienftiESrET" ' and if extraordinary outlay were"required it ' should be submitted to a special vote of the ' Council. . I The Committee of Supply then resumed, and j proceeded to.pass the following votes: — j Additional Government Build- ! ings at Kaiapoi £200 Police Barracks in Christchurch 200 Boad from Kaikainui Creek to Eangiora road 200 Part forming South Christchurch road ... ... 200 Extension of Lytteiton Library 50 This last item raised a short conversation, and was finally passed.

Mr. Olliviek said that as the estimates had been gone through he would now lay before the committee a statement of estimated revenue and expenditure for the coming year. [This will be found below.] It would be seen that the current expenditure for the half-year, special votes, and immigration left a balance for public works of about £12,000, while the public works voted amounted in round numbers to £18,000. In order to supply the deficiency the Government proposed a grant of 3000 acres of land, equal to £6000, which with a similar amount I for the succeeding half-year would be to the same extent as the grant of last year, lie j would how move that his Honor the Superinj tendent be authorised"to spend an amount of j 3000 acres of land during the halt-year ending | Sept. 30, 1858.. '

Messrs. Halt., and Bowes remarked that the effect of this resolution would be to authoriss the spending of 3000 acres in addition to the amount of cash already named, unless it was specified to the contrary. The resolution was finally carried with the addition of the words 'to be taken as part of the sum already voted for public works.' After a short appeal by Mr. Bowen on behalf of school buildings, the committee reported progress and the ho\ise resumed. Notices of motion were then given, and the Council adjourned till Tuesday next at 5 p.m.
