Cr Gapper called attention last evening to a clause in the Borough by-laws that at the end ot ten years from the date of the making of that by-law, all buildings would have to be roofed with iron or other non ■ inflammable material, If builders generally knew this they would probably hesitate before using shingles for roofs,

Mr Crewe applied for leave to take some fallen timber from Township EeserveEoad. Eesolved—That permiß-< sion bB granted. The meeting then adjourned, The first meeting of the new Masterton Hospital Committee was held at the Institute yesterday afternoon. Present— Messrs Boddington, Paige, Bish, Fulton, and Payton. Mr Boddington proposed that Mr Payton be appointed Chairman of the Committee for the ensuing year in recognition of his long services to the Hospital. Mr Payton preferred that Mr Boddington should retain the office which he had filled so ably during the last two years, and moved that he be reverted. Mr Biah seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously, Mr Boddington having thanked the Committee for the compliment paid to him, took the chair, and the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. The Treasure)? reported a credit balance of M 5s sd. Accounts for Btores and bedding were passed to the amount of £46175. A con? siderable amount of routine business of no special public interest was despatched, The Chairman stated that the balance sheet and report for the past year were being printed, and would shortly be circulated, Mr J. Bennett was appointed visiting member for the ensuing month, The Post reports that a meeting of Canterbury supporters of Sir Julius Vogel was held yesterday morning at hjs residence, when the situation was discussed, Very considerable dissatisfaction was ezpresßed regarding Sir Julius Vogel's suggested relinquishment of the Premiership to Mr Stout, and generally an opinion was expressed regarding the proposed composition of the Cabinet. After a free discussion, without any direct decision being come to, the meeting adjourned until this afternoon, and the result was not known when we went to press. Sir Julius Vogel last night bad long interviews with Mr Wakefield and Mr Larnach, Hjs Exoellenoy the Governor to-day called on Sir Julius Vogel. It ia soarcely regarded as probable that his Escellenoy will be able to meet Parliament and declare to it his reasons for calling this session on Thursday next as originally fixed. The formation of the new Ministry is as yet very far from being completed, and the absence of Mr Stout interposes a serious obstacle to bringing matters to a definite coriolnsion. Even if the new Ministry should be sworn i» to-morrow without Mr Stout, they oould not reasonably be expected 1 to' meet Parliament on the following day with such a declaration of policy as would 1 naturally be expected in the Governor's Speech', Probably when the House meets on Thursday, a further adjournment till the middle of next week will be asked for and the formal opening by his Excellency bp deferred till then, I

The candidates spoken of for the three vacancies which ooour in the Borough Council next month are Messrs Gapper, Mmr, and Bacon. The selection is a good one, and if all three consent to stand we fear that Messrs Shuta and Fielding, who have expressed an intention of coming forward, will have but an indifferent chance.
