Ensor, presiding. The ;ne6tiiig was called to confer with a deputation from the fire brigade in reference to the distribution of the amount of £000 raised by the carnival, but the secretary advised that the fire brigade was not sending a deputation to the meeting. Mr. C. L. Grange, the borough commissioner, handed in a letter from Mr. G. P. Finlay, solicitor, of Auckland, to tho superintendent of the brigade, giving a legal opinion on the matter, ae represented to him by two members of the brigade. The committee went into committee and the letter was not read to the meeting. A motion was later carried that the committee should adjourn until the brigade saw fit to meet the committee.
