SLAUGHTERHOUSES. Messrs Mackay (chairman) and McOardle ,vaited on the Council on behalf-of the Wairarapa East County Council. Mr Mackay said that they attended to ask the Council.to assist,in making regulations for the management of slaughterhouses. He had spoken to Inspector Shearman, who suggested that tho inspectors appointed should be members of the police force. The two Councils might appoint a joint committee. Mr McCardle said that Mr Shearman had waited on the County Council on the day previous and brought this mitter before them. It would be a mistake for them to have different rules in the two places, as they would not be so effective. Or Mason moved that there be a joint committee, arid that Crs Perry and Gapper represent the Borough Council.—Carried. NEW STREET. Four tenders were received for the formation of a new street through Mr D. Donald's property Manaia, two of these being informal. That of Messrs Tangney and Co was accepted, MrD. Donald, who attended, asked whether any provision would be made to prevent burning, Contractors had recently burnt on their own responsibility, and done some thousands of pounds worth of damage. Tho matter was left in the hands of the Council. REPORTS, The Fire Brigade Committee brought up an unimportant report,'which was adopted, The' Works Committee brought up a report, the only item of importance being a recommendation to metal 15 chains of Bannister street, as the metal could be .cheaply got from tho excavations for tho Gas Works.

. Cr Muir thought the Works Committee was scarcely consistent. They had resolved that Short Street should be the next street to be formed, and now thoy wanted to go on with Bannister Street. He did not think that they would save much by doing the work while the Gas Works were in progress. At the last meeting the Committee had been -requested to report on the continuation of Church Street, but they had not done so. It was said that the street was open for wheel traffic, but that was not the case. The Chairman said a cart could go through right enough. Cr Muir reported that the portion of the report referring to Bannister-street be struck out. The street was not in a bad condition.

The Chairman said they would have a lot of traffic on it when the gas plant was coming down. •

Cr Williams seconded the motion pro forma. . The motion was put and lost. Cr Muir then moved that the matter stand over till next meeting. Seconded by Cr Williams, and carried on division by 4 to 1. The remainder of the report was thenadopted. •

' The Pound Committee brought up the following report:During tho year just ended the total receipts from the pound amounted to £39 4s 2d, and the expenses to £SO, leaving a deficiency on the working account of £lolss lOd. The expenditure incurred in addition to the above, to comply with the now Impounding Act, amounted to £2813s 3d, so that the total loss on the year's transactions is £39 9s Id, and there is, in the opinion of the committee, no prospect under the Impounding Act of 1884 of the pound paying working expenses. The Committee recommend that one months' notice> given to the poundkeeper and tho ranger of the termination of their engagements, and that notice be sent to the Road Board that the pound will be closed. Also, that the Inspector of Nuisaneeß be instructed to sue in all cases of cattle and horses trespassing on the roads and footways. The report was adopted. FURZE. The Inspector of Nuisances reported that the furze at the boundary street known as Kibblewhite-streot, and in the upper portion of Albert-street, was very dangerous, and recommended thai notice be sent to adjoining owners to have it cleared away. ' _ Cr Chamberlain moved that notice be given in accordance with the report. ■ Seconded by Cr Mason and carried. BUIKDING REGULATIONS.

Mr J. Russell, building surveyor, reported that the doors of the Presbyterian Church had been hung so as to open inwards, and when he spoke about it h« was told that the Council has passed the plans. Further, that several fees were in arrears,

Cr Mason said they should enforce the regulations.

Cr Gapper, who had just entered, said the plans for the Presbyterian Church were not put on the table, They had compelled other churches to make their doors open outwards, and they should make no exception now, • ' Mr Muir moved that the surveyor be supported in enforcing compliance with instructions,—Carried, ThejCouncil then adjourned.
