The Mavnr acid it was his puiufal duty to refnrt the <le it.h ot Cr. llobjohns, one of ths moet highly respected members of the Council. It was only at their last meeting the Cdancll directed a letter to b» sent) bo Mrs Rabjohns, aenio-, on the death of her husbinu, who had once teen a member of the Council, and that day they had returned from paying a laat token of respect to Mr H C. Robjohne, one of the most! earnest, unobtrusive, and industrious Members of tho Council. It was with deep and heartfelt sorrow tbat they had parted with one of such high moral worth, both in public and privata life, Aa a member of t;ho Hoßpltal Committee, as well as the Council, he always did his best, beinp most attentive nnd paiostnking nnd zealous in attendiDfi to the duties whic'i devolved upon him. The Rev. Mr Cox at the grave that day had said he believe! Mr Robjohns hnd not a single enemy, and those who had known him much longer than the reverend gentleman oocld verify that expression of opinion. He moved that i letter of condolence be sent to Mrs Kobjohns, seo., and Mrs Robjohns, jun., with an exprca Blon ot the seoße of the value of the services of Cr. Robjohns to the borongh. Cr. Neal, In seconding, bore out all the Mayor had said, He had known Mr Robjohns sines he was a boy, and he had looked to him as one of' those who would take a leading part in public affairs when older men were laid low. Cr. Cohen, as chairman of the Hospital Board, bore warm testimony to the v*lue ol Mr Robjohns 1 services, and Crs. M'Vay, Cranby, Welsman, and Smith also expressed their sense of the lO3S the borough had sustained in the death of one of its most esteemed residents. REPRESENTATION OH THE BARfIOK fIOAKO. ' Among the outward correspondence was a telegram from the Mayor to Mr Carnell. M.H.R., relative to a statement of the Premier in that morning's HERALD, that the Borough Council bad three representatives on the Harbor Boaid. He pointed oub that the Council had only one representative on the Board. The three members were elected by the ratepayers. Cr. Neal moved that letters be sent to tbo Premier, Captain Russell, and Mr Carnell, pointing oub that the ratepayers in the borough paid double the rate leviable in the country districts ; and that though the Council did not object to the Chamber of Commerce Being represeflted, it objected to the ratepayers' direct representation being redqcOdi Cr. M'Vay concurred. He did nob see wHy the Chamber of Commerce should be represented, aa thu m«mbers weie represented by the elected nieflibflrsi There were under 40 members of the Chotaber, and he did nob see why they should be represented ab the expense of ths representation of tho ratepayers, though he would not object to the Chamber being represented by an addiiional member. The Mayor suggested that the Govern' ment should give up one of its three representatives, for the Harbo- Board had not received a single peony from the Government towards the bro»kwater, but on the contrary hud been rot/bed to the extent! of 2h per cask on cement. Ho noticed that the Tariff Commii-sion re commended the abolition of the duty, but apparently the Government did not intend to propose 10. Cr. Criu'iy said peiliap* the Premier had noc been quite understood —h? might have said that the borough, not the Council, hid three members. Bat he (Cr. Oranby) qulta agreed than •ihafc representation should not be reduced. The motion was agreed to. CORRESPONDENCE.
