People are beginning to look on these continued proceedings as a persecution, especially as the Governor has already seen fit by an Order-in-Council to validate the action of the 00 The R.M. yesterday refused to sanction the largo sum of 25s charged as interpreter's feo for furnishing translations of accounts in Maori, and stated 10s was the largest fee he would allow. An extension of time for holding the Assessment Court for tho County of Patangata has had to be applied for in consequence of Captain Preece being unablo to attend at the statutable dato. This was -necessary, although thore are no objections. The Waipawa County Council has also applied for an extension, as the rolls aro not yet prepared. John Myers, alias tho Marquis of Waterford, appeared again on Friday boforo Mr Inglis, J.P-, on a charge of drunkonness, and was fined 10s, with 2s costs, which •were paid. The Town Board had a lengthy meeting last night, when were present Messrs. Bibby (chairman), Bennett, Collett, Marker, and McGreevy.—An anonymous letter was laid on the table which Mr. McGreevy hopod tho papers would print. Tho wnter said the nightsoil contract was too onesided, giving the contractor no chance; that the Board could cancel it. whenever it thought proper. He thought they should levy a rate and pay the contractor, as it ■would be as much troublo for him to collect the money as to earn it, and every householder ought to be compelled to have rubbish cleared fortnightly. The Chairman said i appeared to be too much trouble to collect the fees. Tho matter then dropped. A discussion arose as to shape and size of pans, and it wae decided that the Works Committee get two mado as a sample, lne Chairman said ho had got Mr. Gilmour to look over the specifications Of contract for control of closets, removal of nightsoil, &c, which were read and amended.— The Clerk proeented estimates of income and expenditure for the year. The Chairman said it was only a matter of form, and not binding; in fact, a farce, and they oouldnotgo by them. Mr Collett sugKested to strike out threo items-subsidy to Fire Brigade JE2S, street lamps £56, nnd kerosene £21. Mr McGreovy suggested putting the amount under tho heading " miscellaneous," which was done—Mr MoGreevy gave notice that at tho next mooting he would move that a rate of 7-id in the £1 be levied for tho year. Mr Harker thought it should bo 10d, and tho difference spent in widening Bibby street. Mr McGreovy would not agree to this, as it was before its time. The other members took a similar view, and it would bo soon enough when tho property owners petitioned for it to be done.—Mr Collott 'presented a petition from ownors in Guy street, asking it bo formed and motulled, and moved that the prayer be granted as soon as weather permits. Mr McGreevy did not see why this street should bo done more than the others in the bush, none of which had been formed except in pat.-hoH whern thuro wore occupiers. Seconded by the Ch-ur-man, and carried.—On the motion of Messrs McGreevy and Collett, it was resolved that willows bo planted on tho river bed from Scrimage.wr's gate to liathbono s willows —Tho Workn Committee were directed to fill holes on footpath in front of Williams and Jail's shops—Mr Collett asked if they could not make some arrangement to that pcoplo whoso chimnors caught fire could go and pay the fine, instead of goin-r to Court, and it was pointed out thut it would require a upccia! Act of Parliament. —Tho pay-sheet van then passed:—B. B. Johnson £1 Od Bd, Wnfch £0 2e, Gilllmm 21s, M. Sebley £7 15b lid.
