Tuesday next, beino; the forty-ninth Anniversary of: this Colony, wil I ' be observed as a bunk holiday. \)n that day a special, cheap, one-day exclusion tr tin will be iuii from Auckland to Te Aroha, being timed to arrive nt 1 10 p.m., and starting on the return journey at 5.2,5 p.m. At Wnjotongomai u cricket juateh will be played — Wuioronufoinai v. Pacroa. A dance will take place place in Te Aroha Public* ilall the same evening, ]' At their last meeting 1 Ohinemuri Cojfmty, Council parsed i ho following 1 tr^sfiiliijfcion: "That nil applic.itin»H^or Sl^Kibt'er house licenses be q united **on. of tho proper fecrf." In p,itfsingj'£tu'h a resolution as this the Council apparently forgot that they have a heavy responsibility -^upo^d upon them by " The Slaughter houses' Act, 1887" with respect to the planting or rp-fu->al of licenSßS. Section 23 <>|r the Act i of erred to states that the County Council may issue and deliver Slaughter house licenses provided the "Council is satisfied that such applicant is of unexceptionable character and that tho situation of such slaughter house or place is not objectionable,"etc. Section 2± of the same Act says u No license, not being the renewal of a previously existing license, shall be issued to any person, to keep a slaughterhouse unless public nutic-o shall have been given by tho applicant i'or the same onue in each week or lor one month immediately pieceding the timo when such application is to be he.iid" etc. Section 9of the same says. '' Council oi : any County o o o in a y, and alone shall lbsue licenses for slaughter houses within a County etc." We are decidedly ot opinion the Council ar e acting unwisely and qmle contrary to the spuit of '•The SLiu»litur houses Act, TBS7, " in p.ibsmg aiesolution that , ill apphcaLions lor slaughter house licenses be grunted, simp.yoH condiMon that the proper feu be paid. They are expected to enquire into the meiits or! each cate and satisfy themselves that there can be objection to the granting of the license before they consent to its being hbued ; and iilso to take sue!) stops asmiy be necessary to have regulations cnfoiced i'or having all slaughtei houses propei ly kept.
