LYTTELTON MUNICIPAL COUNCIL. JtJNF 27, 1862. Present—Messrs. Donald, Peacock, Grubb, Aynaley, Wilcox, and Fyfe. The chairman read a letter from the Provincial Secretary informing the Council that no levels had been fixed by the Government. Mr. Peacock having brought up a report of the street committee on the state of Norwich Quay moved that it be received, which was seconded by Mr. Wilcox. Mr. Grubb opposed the reception of the report. Aa it was not three years since Norwich Quay waß metalled, he thought it folly to lay down more metal, and recommended that steps be taken for scraping off the mud. Mr. Fyfe hoped that contracts would be entered into for doing the work well, and having sound metal laid down. Mr. Aynsley thought Norwich Quay would be always getting out of order, until steps were taken for laying down proper levels and construct proper foot-ways and gutters. He should propose that Norwich Quay should be the base line of their operations; from which they could work their way up the rising ground. The report was finally received and adopted. Mr. Wilcox proposed and Mr. Peacock seconded, that the* improvement of Norwich Quay br at once proceeded with, Carried, Mr. Aynsley proposed that the clerk post up the requisite notices at each end of Norwich Quay, agreeably to the provisions of the Ordinance; which was seconded by Mr. Peacock and carried Mr. Grubb moved that tenders be invited for making tbe culvert in London street, agreeably to the plan proposed by the Provincial Government; which was seconded by Mr. Aynaley and carried.
