Cr Vile would like to see the Town Clerk intimating his desire to be relieved of; the duties; of returning officer altogether, in'orde'r to do away with the least; cause for suspicion. The Mayor thought -Mr Brown had taken a very proper course on this occasion, which was 'perhaps of.more inv pnrtance than the election of a Councillor,' Mr Brown's application was' finally granted, and Mr R.

With reference, to the proposal to reduce the Bize of the "metal "Cr Vile suggested that the size of it did not so much matter as putting something with it. He thought if clay were thrown in with the slimes : jt would bind then], and a good jgad be forced. ■ ".' : ' Cr Hprgi) did. not ajrpe wjt|) Or Vila's suggestion, Cr McCardle differed with Or Yile, though the latter- had had practical experience with roads, He (Or McCardle) however, had noticed that where the metal was broken to the proper size no binding was necessary, and at home, where all the roads were macadamised, such a plan was not resorted to.

He" understood there had been considgrabje delay at the late fire in obtaining a sufficient depth of water owing to their uselessness for the purpose. He moved, " That a committee consisting of Crs McCardle, dapper, and Heron examine the dams and have, Ihem.pnt in proper order so as to prevent delay jn futurp. " Cr McCardle sepondpd, and recommended that instead of haying a floodgate to let .down, they should have one that would be always up from the bottom sufficiently high to keep a fair amount of water for the hose, capable of being raised higher when required to increase the depth, and whioh could be lifted right out when it was necessary to flush the creek, THE ABYSSES WELI EXPEBIMBHT, ' The Mayor reported that the well had been sunk and had proved in the opinion ofthe fire brigade a complete success, as on the third trial the engines threw a jet fully ten feet higher than Mr Bells' shop.

Cr MoCardle said he had obtained information from a competent sourcj) ro,a engine; from which ,hq learnt that a steam.fire engine would be. of immense advantage, if only they had gaß to enable a jet to be kept alight beneath its boiler all day. Without gas the engine wasuseks.
