The Mayor reported, re encroachment on Nidpalh road, that he had interviewed Mr Street, who is acting for Mr M'lntosh iv the matter, and that whilst talking ou the subject Mr M'lntosh had joined them, and that on its being explained to him that up to tho present he had not attempted to prove his claim or title to the piece of road iv dispute by forwarding any certified plan, so that the council could have somo reliable data to work upon, he admitted the justice of the remark, anel offered to meet the couucil in the matter by contributing half the cost of such survoy to fix the said boundary. The clerk also read a letter, dated 18th June, from Mr Street on the samo subject, and it was moved by Cr Scoul»r and seconded by Cr Giundlhy—" That Mr Street's letter re Mr M'lntosh be received."—Carried.
