He mentioned that there were seven good houses hero «ith little or no protection from fire, and a very inadequate supply of water. 3. To cltar the ditches and remove tbe gorse and noxious weeds, as well as to repair tbe above would cost about £9. 4. As tber<» seemed to be a very unsatisfactory system existing in Nelson aB to the matter of granting li- ' censes to draineis and plumberß, he calj- J ed attention to the rules in force in other I towns:— lst. All parties applying for' licenses had to prove that tbey were duly j qualified to carry out the work. Not on- I ]y must employers take out a license, but journeymen as well, the foe for the latter license being balf tha amount of the former, 10a being the lowest charge for an employer. The Surveyor said ho ueed not point out that by this method competent men were always and only allowed to do the work of connecting with so were, gas, and water pipes;. It had b.en the custom in Nelson he found, for one man to take out a license, and all tho family to do tbe work. This should not be allowed ,aB only a licensed man shonld b allowed to do all worn connected wit!i sewers, ft here by bad workmanship the health of the> people was endangered. The same applied to water and gas. He also found tbat all soiled pipes, etc., inettad of having wiped joints were only fixed with a bolt. This would not bo allowed in other towns. He mentioned tbat through the courtesy of the city surveyor of Wellington bo had received copies of the by-laws relating to both drainers and plumbers, which showed bow matters of that kind were carried out in that city. 5. Some time ago he sorved a notice on Mr Spear, cycle engineer, Hatdy-street, to fix,& cistern in his W.C. He found bo did this work himself in contravention of their by-laws. H« mentioned that aeveial of the licensed plumbers bad called his attention to this matter. 7. He begged to hand the Council an alternative plan for culvert across St. Vincent-street in accordance with instructions. 8. Re waterworks; As he understood the monoy would be ( available befoFß next meeting he intend- , td to commence on Monday next cleanup the Bite for the new dam, so as to enable him to ascertain fully as to tbe nature ot the ground surrounding tbe wall, With' out that information he found it would be impossible for him to give a definite estimate as to the cost of the proposed works, and he would respectfully request thut tho report asked for might bo held over for the meantime. The report v* as referred to tbe Public Works Committee. . I'ho new plan of ths culvert m bfc. Vincent-street was referred to the Worka Committee. The inspector of Nuisances reported | tbat during the last fortnight no caoes of infectiou diease had been reported.

The Inpector asked , tbat certain work be demo. | /Referred to Committee.

J Miscellaneous. Regarding tho Waterworks loan it was mentioned by the Mayor that Messrs Stafford, Treadwell, and Field were sending the loan of £7000, and it would reach Nelson in a few days, but they asked when the. two remaining instalments of £4000 etich would be required. It was resolved to reply that the remaining balance be received at intervals of three and six months. The Mayor suggested on the recommendation of Mr Tyree, formerly of Nelson, that the services of Mr Cutler, an Anstralian engineer, Le procured at a remuneration of £25 for. the purpose of reporting on Sir Mestayer's drainage scheme. Considerable discussiou ensued, and ou a division being taken the suggestion was declared earned by 7 votes to 5. The voting was as follows :— Ayes : Crs Lightband, i Mercer, Orsman, Pettit, Piper, Harley, and

the Mayor. Noes: Crs Webley, Boon, Fathers, Fairoy, and Akersten. Cr Mercer drew the City Surveyor s attention to the bad state of the weeds, etc., in the upper part of Collingwood-street. Cr Harley asked for a return of the money spent on Mount-street from the Ist October, 1890, to date, and the amount received in rates from the properties in that street during the same period. He complained that money was spent on new districts, while residents of the Wood, which had paid rates for fifty years, received little or no attention. Cr Piper moved that how the matter ot the Maitai Banks had teen settled, the City Surveyor should map out a footpath in that locality. This was seconded and carried. „ ' ' V T. Resolved, that tenders for supplies be called for at next meeting of the Council. Resolved, that the City Surveyor send a man round to clear the weeds, etc., from the fire plugs in the city. It was resolved that on further gas and water debentures falling due the amounts be re-borrowed, and that debentures of £50 be offered. The Council adjourned at 11 p.m.

Shrojs enjoy -a high reputation a? crosses with common sheep. Mien crosses do not' grow to such a big size as the lambs got by Oxfords, or Hampshire Down sheep ; but as hoggets and older sheep they are usually capable of holding their own against any of the breeds. On good land Shrops fatten readily, and not only become fit for the butcher at a comparatively eajrly age but also produce mutton of very good quality— meat in which the lean and the fat are well intermixed, and ior which the butchers are always prepared to pay the top price of the market. One of the alleged drawbacks is that on wet land they are tenderfooted, and inclined to "going in the hoofs." It is said that among their many admirers Shropshire sheep have the reputation of being very kindly sheep. By this is meant that they ■are thrifty feeders, and that for the food consumed by them they give a return which will compare favourably with that of any other breeds.
