Complaints were received from owners of land at Porirua regarding buildings encroaching on the road. , It was decided to give notice to the owners of tho' buildings in question that they must be shifted back within six months. Considerable discussion took place regarding the validity of a title at Porirua. The land in question was a Crown grant for "100 ft. from high-water mark." It was pointed out that if the- title was not now valid it would soon be so, as the occupier had been in undisturbed possession for almost 60 years.' It was resolved that a survey. be m.ade of the foreshore defining the boundaries and showing the encroachments thereon. Accounts amounting to £195 2s. 4d. were passed for payment.
