£tUVX in t Mr. < ; u*ci; did n<>b think it advisable ,u« the ( ournnl to levy a rate. They; ilunilil lirst ascertain what tuition the ttoad iourds wiu-o going to take with regard to liu rate, and if it was found that < tins Jniirds were willing to strike a rate of one hilling. tsho County Council would not loml lo levy any fate whatever. If tht* low I Boards levied a shilling rate they nxikl got the ii-ove crime ut subsidy of luumt for pound ; but the Council would nuoivu no such subsidy for any rate tf jvii'd. Mr. Prsi'VM thought that so ■ tonga* the tow I Boards were willing to tax themulves, the members of the Council should o satisfied, as they would thereby receive miliieient subsidy fco< enable thein to irry out the bounty works. Mr. iVti'Kt-'ori' said that if thry did not tX themselves, they would receive no subtly. The amount at present in hand was to proceed* of the past year. He poinik d It that while the oudyiug districts mild participate in the benefit*, they mild- nob contribute anything to the .unity revenue unless a County rate were i-ii;il."

The appointment made at the previous ietnig of Mr. Douglas as Inspector of lids "not having been continued,, the jstiou of appointing some other gentlen was then considered. Hi'.

Hist reason for so doing that he had- heard that Mr. Douglas tcniplatcd bnnging an action at law iusb the Cumed for breach of faith-, it would not be well for the Council's lis to be tied until the matter was led. lie amendment was- then put by the iriuau, who voted himself, and ths iberswere four to four ; but the Chairi gave his casting vote against it. and arud the motion l>st. lie then put original motion,, and the numbers n again four against fonr. bu-t the irmau gave his casting vote in favour he motion, and declared it carried.

I>wt at present they employ between 3W and -t*W> people. They ttad to overcome many dicftcalties. and nvneh prejudice, and especially the persistent opposition on the part of the larger housts, glutting this market with imported good.-*, and no doubt the retailers found it to their advantageto push these in pret'erenee- t<» loyal manufactures. The proprietors of the New Zealand Clothing Factory have therefore judiciously decided ti> intrwtuue their manufactures direct to the targe consuming population of New Zealand, and in order to"do at? effectually, they have determined to sell a single garment at the wholesale price. The selling price _is to be marked in plain figures on every article, from which no abatement will be _n»ade. The business is to be conducted strictly on the cash principle, and alt goods must W paid for on delivery, bat any article not found suitable may be- exchanged, or the money returned.. As will be seen from the garments exhibited. the public will now be able to choose from the largest stock of mens, youths', and boys' clothing, superior in style and totality, and at a p'oporttotutely Ijwer price to. anything that can be imported. f'.ut, irrespective of all these advantages, it is to the inttTi «t of everyone to support an industry width employs New Zealand labor, and is a direct benefit to the butcher, baker, farmer, mechanic, shopkeeper, merchant, arul to everyone in the community.—[Ai»vr.j
