MOUNT EDEN COUNCIL.

REDUCTION OF EMPLOYEES. The Mount Eden Boron gh Council met last evening, the Mayor, Mr. E. H. Potter, presiding. The Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board notified that the drainage levy payable by Mount Eden this year would amount to £3463. On the Finance Committee's recommendation the question of providing heating and filtration at the borough baths was deferred until a new loan is secured. The Works Committee reported that as the work on the roads was drawing to a close the road staff should be reduced by 15 men and the motor-lorry and the horse dray should bo dispensed with. The report was adopted. It was decided to give a donation of £2 2s to the Sliackleton troop of Boy Scouts, as was done last year. The engineer reported that a great improvement could be made at the intersection of Boston Road and Normanby Road by reducing the acute angle at the corner, and he intended to approach the district railways engineer with a view to acquiring- free of cost, an area of land with 20ft. frontage to the corner. The building inspector's report showed that during May building permits for 27 works, involving £7609, had been issued.
