it was resolved on the motion of Messrs Heath and Grant that a deputation consisting of Messrs Macmalion, Pickup, Giblin and Tate wait on the Hon. 11. Atinore asking him to again approach the Minister of Lands and endeavour to get the matter settled. The secretary was instructed to write to tlie Count.v Council expressing appreciation of the work recently done in the riding, especially at the 'Turf Hole] corner; also drawing the Council’s attention to tlie bad state of tlie water-tables in Station road; and suggesting that the cost of installing corner lights be included in tlie estimates for the coming year.

j It was resolved that the attention of , the Freezing Company he drawn to the : danger .caused hv the hedge at the main entrance to the Freezing Works which obscures the view of the road.
