MASTERTON BOROUGH COUNCIL.

WORKS COMMITTEE. The Masterton Borough Works Committee met last evening, there being present: —Crs J. H. Pauling. Chairman, J. Prentice, A. Haughey, V/. Pragnell, and W. Morris. The Engineer was authorised to arrange with Mesrs Dagg Bros, with regard to an entrance to 1 heir property for the stone crusher; t Iso a culvert for the water race at their property. Cr Pauling moved that the Engineer put a wicket and entrance gate in the fence fronting Mr VV. M. Easthope's property in Bentley Street, and get the gully in front of the house filled as soon as he conveniently can. The Committee decided that Mr H. K. Walton must either put a pipe or wooden culvert in the water race in is property in Hogg Crescent before filling the rac? in. It was decided to inspect the stables and buildings at the Central Fire Station and at the Gasworks to decide whether any of the buildings should be removed. The Engineer was instructed to call for tender.") for the removal of the cottage belonging to Mr 2. M. Hoar in Hope Street, as agreed upon by the Council.

The question of connecting Villa and Pownall Streets was held over pending a reply from the Renal 1 Estate Trustees. The Engineer was directed to put a few loads of shingle on the north side of Worksop Road between Miriam and Hessey Streets. It was decided to recommend that tenders be called at once for the construction of a footpath in Cornwall Street. It was also decided to erect the asphalt shed in the Corporation reserve in Hope Street on concrete foundation walls, two feet six inches high. The Committee resolved to continue the culvert through in the newly widened parts of Dixon Street as at present, and form a temporary footpath. The Committee recommended that an elevator for the stone crusher be imported at a cost of £55; also that notice be given to Mrs Lowes to cut down the trees on her property abutting on Short Street.
