/rant equivalent to cost of levellin;;. I am authorised bv the Board to meet, the Council, or its committee, to mutually arrange the-?.! matters and shall be pleased to do so. A considerable tiino was spent in thoroughly explaining this matter io tiie Councillors, aud the agreement between the lateToivn r.iwrc. , and the Domain Jvianl was referred to us to the lovulling of the gravel pit. The matter was then iv.forroil lo th« legal and (inance committee and the. chaii man of the works committee (Cr. Webber) to confer with Mr Wells and make the necessary arrangement!- for carrying out the work. It was suggested that the corner near Mr Henson's should be rounded oil a little more, which will doubtless bo done.

FOOT!'ATI is.—Mr T. Wells had made a verbal aimlication to luivo the, footpath opposite, his residence repaired. —.V very lengthy discussion ensued as to the liability of the Council, but cvcnl'ialiy it wm< decided to take a legal opinion a-; lo the validity of the by-law N'o. _, Section .'W, which deals with the question. Tin: FoitKSHOKK.—In accordance wi'.h notice of motion aiven, Or. Bach moved : "That the resolution n! 17th December, I.S'.IU, re rent of foreshore to the Waikato Timber Company bo rescinded, and tint a rental of CIO for' the year i.V.R be substituted.', — Seconded by Cγ. Ij.md ami carried. Tun Waikato lißmuiv-Cr. Kirk-wood stated his att'Milion hid been called Inihe. stite of the bridge over Hi- Waikato. Th" person who had directed his attention i> the bridge was a practieil man, and he. estimated that unless the structure was repaired at once, it would cost some hundreds of pounds. He (Cr. Kirkwood) had himself -een that ?mi! of the plies of the In id "a were very much decayed, and if the. structure collapsed it would take considerable time and monev to n.plice it. —It \v,i< decided 11 ask the Waipa County Council (who have ehaige of iiie bri-ig.-'i to loiwaid the Borough Council a copy of their engineer's last report on the subject. Thk IvAKArir.o Jinnx:k. — The Mayor had written t> the chairman of the Auck land Harbour Board asking what he con--iil.ir.vl the best lloorinr; for a bridge ; and in reply the Clerk of Works--to whom the letter had been handed -kindly forwarded a lciiitthy description of what was n.-ed by the Harbour Board, which conl; in Auckland 11 s per square yard. — It would cost fc!lso to cover the Karapiro bridge in the manner suggested, and several councillors thought the structure was not sufficiently strong to carry it.—Cr. Kirkwood thought if the bridge was re-decked, nurl the, wheel guards put sufficiently lm;h to allow of all lillli. etc., being blown or swilled under them, that the bridge would la-t for anolher ten years.—The matter was referred to the \V"rk« Comirift-ee, to ascertain the probable I cost of re-decking the bridge with four inch riiiiu.--.lt was also decided to enforce the by-law ro riding or driving across this b'ri'lge. at other than a walking mice.
