Tho-Gasworks Committee, and more especially Cr Fitton, must be congratulated upon the successful job they have made of repairing the water-tank at the Gas Works, and stopping tho -leakage. A gang of men set to work at an early hour last'Monday,-under the supervision of MrCroad, the Borough overseer, and removed all gravel from around the outaido of the circular wall, and replaced it with dry clay for a width of two foot, 7 liiswas well rammed in its dry state, and afterwards wotted, The .usual practice in'backing up the walls ofa well has been to puddle'it up with wet clay, and some doubt was felt iu certain quarters as to tho efficacy of the work done, in a Bomewhat new -'fashion. The ptejult however has proved that' the advice-supplied to tho Committee to work the cTayMn. v dry is correct, as the leakage is almost l&percoptiblo. ."The water Hses a : quarter oNmjjj&h in twelve hours, and possibly when "firework is completed the walls will prpve perfectly watertight., To completp {he backing up of the iyail anothor seven feet all round tho tuik has to be clayed; this will only take some, four or five days to do. The cost of,the work in consoquonce of the interruptions from bad weathennay somowhat exceed tho estimate, but not to any great extent. ,

At the moating of the United District Aid Board at Wellington' 011 Thursday, a prolonged and (desultory discussion took place with reference to the correspondence relatintt to the proceedings in the Supreme Court which were put in motion by the Benevolent Institution to compel the Board to collect contributions from defaulting bodies, which v:as read, aud ultimately it was resolved " That tl)e application for subsidios be made in the terms required by the C'olopia] Treasurer,"' A further motion by Mr .Hawkins, 'seconded by Mr Heaton, was carried '!
