The Finance Committees report having been adopted, and till accountß paid sinco sth imt, dale oi monthly lneoiiug, validated, the meeting rosn. le was resolved on motion of Cr Moore, that no travelling expenses be allowed to Countings for attending this meeting.

Tue c is nothing ot importance to eh.onK-le respecting ni'ning from Te Aroha or Waiorongomai this week. Mr H. 11. Ad&ms has completed the treatment o. soii.e lour tons of Waitoa deposit from Mr OmuHeiyhs estate, but tl c return so far, is only known to the syndicate. "We have readon to boheve, however, that it is small. In our asueofClb. inst was published the hall -yearly balance flheer. ior I'iano County. The receipts from the County tramway (Waioront'omai) are there set out as being £405 12s Od., the expenditure on the tramway a<? 1610 1» Od. from this it would appear that there was a lo*B of about £200 on working the line during the six months ending 30th September. Now as a matter of fuct the monthly returns furnished by the tramway manager for t.iat period show receipts considerably over £000. The solution of the apparent anomaly probably is that a consideratb amount due foi fi eight had not been paid at the time the half-jeaily balance sheet was made nut, and Mr Tuck, the County Clerk and Treasurer, oi cours? could, under tho heading " receipt?," only insert the amount of money he had actually received. Tbo matter wi 1 no doubt be referred to at next Council meeting, meanwhile we take this opportunity to suggest what we believe will bo found to be the solution of the matter, as it is noc fair to the goldlield that the balance sheet should be allowed to pass without notice. We have reason to believe u large suir still remain-* unpaid for the carriage of quartz over the tvamway. It in sUted "Mr Edward Quinn, one of tho newly-elected members ior K.mingalictkc Ruling, OhiiiLiiuui County, will end-'uvuur to bo made cl'.iiriuan oi tlmt County. Indeed, we have heard it stated Mr Quinn for some Line past has b«en boa. 1 1 n pc tlmt if ho Micceeded in gvlting olecteti us Councillor, he wdu!d be elutiimnn as well. We doubt, however, if Mr Quinn'a ambition in this direction will be &riitiiied, mid cotuinly aro of opinion it would be an nnl'oitumite start for the new Council to ni'ike such an appointment, and ono which they would liavo cause to leot. The ni.inne.* in which he acted in conuoct'on with Te Aroha Town Bo.nd ia not very reaesuiin^. B$ a bit ot smartness ho got himself appointed ulminnuti {no tern at tlie nr>t uteuling of tho me i hers of the I>oaid, held for the nppointinunt oi! a ch.uimrin, and having succeeded in getting elected, uUended tho meetings bo long* as tho Hoaid hud a considerable sum of money to expend, and contracts weic to bo let, alterwiirds loaviny for another distiict, absenting himself: fro r »i three o.jij. c. utivo inontlil,.

But he would appaicntly, novertholea*', have sought to letuin his seat, if tho Board had not recently wiittmi t<> dim on the subject, showing the great iuconvienotf they wero being j put to, and consequently the Injustice of tho liv« of dotiou h«'v\.it» piu'buhi^'.
