TIMARU BOROUGH CODICIL.

An ordinary meeting of tho Timaru Borough Council was held last night. Present — Bis Worship tba Mayor and Councillors Jackson, Gabitea, Jone?, Allen, Delaney, Annetts, Bush, Bill and Bower. COBBE3POSDBSCE. The minutea of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, the correspondence inward and cutward waa read. FI2E BaIGADE. A letter, dated November 15th, was read from W. I>. Msarcp, Managor of tho Union Injuranca Company, asking for a cheque for £34, the value of the steal fire-bell forwarded to the Council some months ago for approval. To this a reply bad been sent that the bell had cracked m testing, and a report forwarded to that effect. Mr Meares replied that this was tho first he had heard of the mishap. The previous letter from tbe Council inuat have miscarried. A second report on the teat, by the Captain of the Fire Brigade, h?.d been forwarded, Tbe Captain of the Fire Brigade wrote, nsking the Council to urge on tho contractors for supplying a new fire bell to use all expedition m supplying it, as a temporary bell failed to arouse a number of members of the Brigade, and consequently ho had to work with half his force. Mr Amos also submitted a report on the late fire m Bank street. A claim was made by W. Dale for £2 for the first pair of hones and wagon at the station on the occasion of the lao flro. Ihe Captain of the Fire Brigade commented on this claim that tbe driver of the team did not report himself till they were packing up, and he had already agreed with J. Lukey, who only sent a pair of honei, to take back tho reel for 10s. If Dale's claim were allowed the 10s due to Lukey must be deducted. It was decided to pay Lukey tho 10j agreed upon, and to pay Dale, the £2 he is entitled to, less lOjpaid to T.uley. BJIALL BIRDB XIJISAKCE. A letter was read from tho LevelsKoadj Board asking the Council to co operato with the Board m reducing the email birds nuisance. Ths Levels Road Board had decided to give lid per dozen for eggs, and 3d per dozen for young birds. The Mayor stated that Mr Wright, Overieer to the Levels B:mrd, had paid one boy on Saturday for 28i dozen eggs, and ■everal dozen young birds. It was resolved on tbo motion of Councillor Jones, seconded by Councillor Hill — " That the request of tho Secretary of the Levels Road Board be complied witb, and that the Town Clerk bo empowered to pay for birdß and eggs at tbo rates named m bis letter ; and, that the Town Clerk advertise tho lame." A Qt7E3TION OF BATE 3. Mr W. Park wrote requesting that he be relieved from his liability for rates for tho rest of tho year, from tho elate of the fire which destroyed his shops m the Main North Road. Tbo Town Clerk (ai valuator) said there was no precedent for such a remission of rato, and bo doubted whether tho rates could be remitted. Other persons (Mr Bruce, for instance) bad paid considerable sums without demur, for rates levied upon destroyed premiisi. Tbe matter was left (o tbe Collector, aa the responsible person.

INFORMATION YVAMKD. Mr I). M. Ki'fe, at(os»or under tho Properly Assessment Act, wrote asking tbo Council to authorue lhe Town Clerk to five him a liet of the Borough Council reserves, with names of hdder, term, reutuJj etc., for assessment purposes. The Towu Clerk fiifpeited that as to supply this irformation would take some timo, it would be only fair that the clerical work involvtd should be paid for. He did not mind giving hii own lime, but he did not like to tee his ncsittants doing extra work for nothing. They were kept very biuy with the Council's work itself.

It was rcsolvtd, on the motion of Councillors Bower and Gabites — " That iho Town Clerk supply tho information applied for by tho Government Assessor, provided the Town Clerk be remunerated as by mutual agreement." Tho Clerk to tho Wnimntc Licensing Bench wrote asking to bo supplied with information ns to tbo names of persons holding wholesale, licenses m tho Borough. — The information to be eupp! : cd. LAMP POSTB. Th-3 Works Committee, m their repot t, recommended that, as tho Council was m need of about two dozou lamp posls, Messrs Hatton ami Parsons, tho local iron-founders bo asked to fend m prtcrs.

Messrs Hatton and Parsons had been eornmurioatcd with. The former offered to supply two d'-zan lamp posti>, similar lo those supplied by Elder and Young, at £6 ]Oj each, and similar to tho;o imported at £5 ss. Mr J. Parscni offered to supply two drzen lamps nnd poits at £1 15» each (rflder and Young's pattern).

The Mayor stated I lint the coat of the imported lamp posts was i-3 11b each m Timaru, but owing to the form of Iho base they cost more to fix than the locallymado posts.

Councilor Jackeon objected to any posts being ordered, or, at soyrate, co many as two dozen. If they were ordered they would havo to bo paid for, and if obtained they would be flooded with pressing applications for tbeir erection. If two dczan lamps were erected m addition to those now up, the cost for lighting alone would be £800 a joar. Could they afford it ?

Councillor Hill spoke of tho sate of darkness m which the South end of the town -was left. That pait of the town had been given tho cold shoulder m every respect, though they had to pay their share of Iho rates. If they were to bo left m darkness they must refuse to pay rates. A proposal to remit the matter for further consideration wbb rjfgjtived, and on tho motion of Councillors Hill and Delancy, it was rescl.ed — " Ihst Mr Ja?. Parsons' tender for lamp posts be a cepted." WOBE3 COMMITTEE. The Works Cornmitteo recommended that tho Council find timberfora footbridge over the gully near Mulcolmjon's, the work to be done at ones to tha satisfaction ef the Foreman of Works ; that the ofier-of Mr Sibly to supply roetil required for George street North at Gj 9d per yard bo accepted, and that tho Council do not undertako asphalting by day labor at present. The report of tho Committee was adopted, the Major saving it would be understood that if tho drainage scheme was adopted the timber for the bridge would not be supplied, as the main sewer would be carried to that point. BCIXDING BEQUXATION3. Hr Duval, architect, waited on tho Council m support of aa application for a modification of tho Building Regulations m respect of. the enlargement of tho Theatre, the Hogulations requiring the lower part of the walls to be thicker than contemplated m tho plans. Mr Duval said the plans had been drawn and the tender let fjr 18 inch walls before he noticed that a clause at tho end of the Eeguhliins required ftonework to be double tho thiekneaa of brickwork, the thickness require! according to the Regulations being 26 inches. Mr Duval said a efcone wall waß more likely to bo built 18 or 20 inches thick than 26 inches, inasmuch a? stones for bonding the smaller walls wora easily obtained, but not for the hrgjr. A long discussion took place on tho application. A majority of tho Council expressing the opinion that tho Regulations should be revised, and one or two referred to the clause fixing the proportionate thickness of brick and etons walls, as particularly needing alteration.

Councillor Jones believed tho doubling clause was intended to apply to tho smaller walla only.

Councillor Bower spoke strongly against architects letting tenders before sending m their plans for approval, and then using the fact that tenders were accepted as nn inducement to the Council to grant modifications of tbe Hegulations. He understood the .Regulations were framed on those of Dunedin, where they hid some of the best stone buildings m New Zealand. There wore stone buildings m Titmtru that were anything but among tho best, some thick walls he had seen were not Btronger than a single brick wall. They ought to bo particularly careful m this instance, as it was the ca'o of a public building. Councillor Bush, speaking as a practical man, said tbe walls proposed werequito thick enough. Tbe sooner the Regulations were revised the better, because they were acting as a dra» upon building. It was cortainly wrong to let a tender and then send m the plans for approval, but m the present ca;e they would bo quite justified m granting tbe application.

Tho Building Surveyor, on being appealed to, end the proposed walls would be quite strong enough.

It was resolved on the motion of Councillors Jackson and Bush to grant the applicitioi, Councillor Bower voting ogninat i.

An application from Mr R. F. IVster, for leave to widen his house by threo feet, m wood, was granted.

BKJHT3-OP WAT,

Two application? from Messrs Cullmann and Bower and Mr Fergusson were received for the sanclion of Clio Council to the scttiug aside of rights-of-way. Councillor Bush remarked that tbe Coqncil should have tha power to prevent righ'a-of-way beiug used as frontages for building purposes, and this remark Jed to a diecn'sion of some length, and a motion to grant tbe applications was withdrawn m favor of ouo instructing tbe Town Clerk to write to Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin to BBcertain tbe procodure of tboso Municipalities respecting rights-of-way. FOEEWAN QJ WOBJCS' BEPOBT. The report of tlio Foreman of Works was read. The ptincipal item referred to was the exteneion of the Grey street sower, Tho ground hsd proved sj hard that tho totara piles would not stand tho driving, and ironbark bad to bo substituted for the outer pier, of course adding to tho coit. He bad examined tbe nuisance reported to be caused by tho chimney of the Phceait Brewery, and found that sometimes a nuisance was caused, but this was always more or less tbe case with factory chimneys. Even from Brace's chimney, 150 ft high, ho had experienced some nuisance m tho smell of the smoke. Tho only remedy was the burning of tbo smoke or the using of better kinds of coal. ACCOUNTS. Accounts were passed for piyment as follows : -General account, £lo3 Us 8d j waterworks maintenance account (including £150 passed to special rato account), £501 6s 7d ; waterworks loan account, for freight on plant, A.C., £44G 3s Od ; special rats account, interest, £500. WATEIIWOBK3. Mr Allprcss applied for a supply of water, to be taken from tbe raco by a three inoh pipe.

It was rosolved that Mr AJlpresc be supplied with water on tho mmo terms as Mr Graham, namely, that only water for domestic purposes be taken and cartod to tho house.

An application was received from Messrs Eichbaum, P. W. Hutton, and other restdonts m tho D street extension, asking for the water pipes to bo extended along that Btreet, ond through a right-of-way at the end to Church street.

Consideration of tho application was do> fcrred.

Mr 0. F. Hallam waited on the Council to apply for a redaction m the cbargo for w&tcr used for his baths. He asked, as ho used it for an industrial purpose, that water should be supplied to him at the same rate at for motors.

lie was requested to submit hia application m writing. Ths roport of the Waterworks Inspector was read. Ho requested th« Council to fence ia a

portion of tho market reserve- to protect the pipes m ttock and the testing machines j alfo to erect a smail workshop on tho ground. The applications wero referred to tho Works Cam mil Ice. The carnt'iWattho reservoir attended, nnd reported that tho upper waler m tl;oreFcrvoir was quilo clear, but near tbo bottom it wns

decolored. The only way he could account for this was by supposing that the heavy n.in of the previous night had washed eoa'.o silt off tbo eipo?o.l sides of the reservoir. Tl ere had not been sufficient water comirg down the raco for some days past to rmct the demand. Councillor Bmh said ha liid heard that the raco was full of weeds, which were ohokinc up the race, and cauung it tj ru>> over above them.

Councillor Jones suid something hud been said at a previous treoting about Iho men interfering with theiace, and ho had mnarioi that if the weeds weio net kept down they | would cho.e the raco and stop tho flow altogether. Jfewton, eno of tho men m charge of tho race, saw this m tho piper, a".d eamo (o him and told him the caretaker whs complaining that thero was not enough water m tho race. Newton said ho had orders n t lo interfere wilti weocip, nnd bo would like some- of the- Works Committee logo out lo tee the race. Ho (Coumiilor Jones) went out with Councillor Sherr.ilt, understanding that othors were going out nls:>, and nt one place, somewhere on King's land, they found the lace

entirely stopped with weeds gr>wi»g m it. Below thii placo not half the usual quantity of wnUr wua running, but nbov.i it, owing to tho weeds damming it back, the wiiter was runniug over the bywnshrs provided for flood waters, and was oozing through tho bank of Iho raco where tbia was built up with cods. In other spots if. was cutting a new channel m tho bank, tho proper one wub sr> much choked with weeds. He told Newton he thought the best thing ho could do was to Ret the weeds out as coon ns po?*ible. fie c'id not think that taking out the weed* would make the water dirty m Iks reservoir, bocauso he took notico while Newton pulled some out with his rako that tho w.itei- ck-arcd befoi'B it ran a chain. Ho therefore Rave him orders to c!c.ir out the weeds, and he bad no doubt that if they were not kept down they would stop tho supply altogether, and by damming the water up might causo it to break away the banks of the race.

Mr Spooner, tho earetakor, said ho never interfered with weeds m tho race. In the two miles undtr his cbargo there were very few weeds growing, and they teemed to be doing more good than harm, by protecting tho raco from scour. It might do no harm to cut weeds out, but they should not be dragged out, as disturbing the bottom must make tho water dirty.

Councillor Bmh said he heard there was one weed growing m tho race which was likely to prove a jreat troub'e to thorn.

Mr Spooner : Thero is nono m my part of ihe iEce.

The Mayor objected very strongly to individual Councillors interfering with "the work. If the men had anything to report they ought to report lo the oilico, and not to Councillors m the street. He was at Iho reservoir ten days ago and theraca was then running quite full. Ho did not sco how it could have grown up m ten days. Ho had repeatedly had to instruct Newton not to interfere with the race. Ho was continually engineering and trying some idea of his own.

Councillor Jonea e;\id Newton spoke to him as one of the Works Committee, mid gave him to understand that ho had been to the other members, and they were going up, co that ho had not gono up m opposition 'to tho rest. Ho did not expect to find the race half co bad Bsit wus. Tun water was oozing through tho bank mat lea^t twenty places. lie did not ut all believe m allowing weeds to grow m the riu'e, as whero wa'er ran slowly, as m this race, thfy would very soon block up the stream completely. He hnd had some experience of races, and had found it necessary to clean thorn out two or throe times m the course of a summer. Every year the weeds would get won-c and worse, and be would recommend that they be kept down as much as poseible. The part of the race next the reservoir might bo clean, because it was cut through new ground ; but m a year or two it would bo as bad a» thoso parts built up of sods. So long as tho water wes running over thick vogetation, it could not be pure, and that was au additional reason for keeping the weeds down. He advisod the Mayor to go and sec the ruco at the place ha roferred to.

The Major said tho men wero instructed not to meddlo with weeds, because Mr Dobson recommended that when it was noceasary to do so the water should bo cut off and a good gang of men put on to clean out tho whole race at onco, and he did not expect this would bo necessary for two or three years. Tho matter thon dropped. Councillor Allen then moved, m accordance with notice given—" That iv f uturo the charge par annum for wator for motor purposes be £12 10s per theoretical horeo-power for 24 hours for day, and £10 for 12 hours," with the a.idi'ion to the notice, " tho maximum supply to be five theoretical horsepowor."

Councillor Bill seconded the motion,

Councillor Jackson moved, as it was already late, that tbe meeting bo adjourned (ill next Monday evening, when this motion and Councillor Gibson's noticed motion could both be doalt with. Tho motion was negatived. Councillor Allen spoke at some length m support of his motion. Ho urged that reducing the rate charged for motors would create and stimulate industries, and the water running to wa<te might be mudo to produce a revenuo of £2000 a year without any expenditure on tho part of the Council. This was nn important point, but it was a miuor point m comparison with the impetus that would be given to ilia prosperity of the placo. Oamaru had found it advisable, to raiec a further loan to enable them to supply water for machinery. It bad boen argued that Oamaru and Timaru were very differently situated, but it was not jo. At Oamaru they had 16 million gallons a day to deal with and hpro they Uad 8 million;.

The Mayor : Wbero did you learn that wo have 8 millions a day P

Councillor Allen taid tho Engineer told him so.

Tho Mayor : Tho Engineer says tho mo-t wo can have is IV millions m 21 hours.

Councillor Allen said ho had asked Mr Dobsonat the Puruora how mu,ch there would be, and lie said there would be eight millions m 24 lioura. la Oamaru moot of t li > water was urod m flour mill?, but be supposed that would not be tbe case m Tinairu, aud it would bo ia tbo discretion of the Council to grant tho water to tho so who would employ a good number of hands. The coat of water dt present was 90 per cent higher than (team, and while so much waa runnii'g to wasto it was shortsighted policy not toh&TO it utilised m oncour.iging industries. That was what, nas wanted. Kvon m Tcmuka, a little country village, they had industries, whib m Tiraaru they had nothing but — desolation. (Laughter.)

Councillor Jaoison spoke against tha motion. No one would be eager to apply for water for motors when limy might havo it cut off any day. It would pay much better to toll thoir surplus to the suburbs for domestic purposes, and one engino would consumo more water than would supply half tho houses m the district.

Councillor Bush spoke ogainet supplying the suburbs. If they did so llio people would lcavo thn town and go out*idf>, whero they could got land cheaper and live comparatively froo from rates. 'I 1 ho Kngineer assured him that lpO horco-powcr could bo diepoicd of witbout additional outlay, and it would bo much belter to eecurc the revenue m this way than by laying mains outside tlio town. People would get their tanks full and then come for a rebitte, and give up taking tho water altogether. There was no guarantee that their demand would continue. Thoy ought to havo refused to supply them unless they joined tho Bsrough, as tho Wellington Corporation had done, where the suburbs had come to their censes BDd joined tbe Municipality. The suburbs would bo hiring their sewers next instead of helping to pay for thorn.

Councillor Jackson : How are you going to ■upply motors when tbe race docs not supply tho town P

Councillor Bush : Keep tbo race clear of weeds as Councillor Jones has pointed out.

Councillor Hill, seconder of tbe rcnolulion, urged m its favor that tlto revouuo dcrivablo from motors would bo clear gain, the Council being put to no further expense to gain it. Tho Council of course could not give any

gunr'Mitce that the supply would be con

tiruous; but (hat would be well under*toort, and would net. as n bar to ap-I'licitioi-B frrm owners of lorge concerns, while B'na'l u«ere of power would l«kc lulvanlogo of Ilie supply if it were chenper. Ho roncid-ml llml Hirplyinj the tulnirbe would create o greater drain upon Iho supply than motor?, m pcoplo would use it on their eordens and lann?, und n gr<at expense must be gone lo for meters cr nnlilinicn lo prevent its being run to waste. If the town population inrrensed co much that they could not Fiipply motor?, they would no! need the revcmio from them, aa they would get it m other wins.

Councillor Bower eaid nothing definite had been advnrcod m support, of lowering tl.e rate. In Kdinburjh Iho priro of water for manufacturing purposes wns 9d per 1000, nnd

an ayitntion v/hb got u;i to reduce it Id 0

with which price consumers would bo entiafied. If they paid such prices nt Homo their own pi ice was not on extravagant one. It was ridiculous to argue that by keeping

up Iho price they wcro^ keeping down enterprise, end as for k:c[in"g peopl.) m town ho did not see bow Hint was lo bo effected if

they alfo extended tho rupply lo the suburbs iil-o. Ho timed aa nn amendment — 'Tint dining the ensuing finnnrial yc:ir no alteration bu inudc m tho charge fjr water supplied for motors."

Councillor Jones enid ho formerly had as Crcal faith m tho vni'er supply 33 Councillor Allen, but what bo had seen of the nice, and

tho repoit of the ciMaker that tho raco was still running fhort notnithetun'.lir.g that (he vreeiU l.ad been taken out, hud tlmken his fnitli and changed his opinion. Thero had nljt) been no applications from persons de;irou9 of Blurting new industries, and if any such were received the Council could at any time make sp- ci •:} concessions m their favor.

Councillor Jaetaon said he now paid Is per 1000 for w.itcr supplied to his eler.m-euginoof 25 horse-power, und if wntc-r-tootors were t) bo supplied at id, ho should seek to have his supply reduced to tl c eamo price. Councillor Allnn, m replying to objections, eaid Councillor Jones hid answered himself, ns it was only necessary to keep down the weeds m tbo raco to secure as fu'l a supply as ever run. Tho fact rcim-.ip.cd t'.iat watrr wns running lo waste, and they should Eeok to got it profitably used, and ho bilieved thero was much more running nway than wns edited. If ever tho supply r.in alicrt, or it w.n ncccssaty to clem the race, Iho users could tlop work until the supply niu resumed, as they did e'sowhci'p.

The Major nsked wba!. industries thero wero m Oamavn.

Councillor Allen eaid be.-ides flour mills, which us:d most of tho wator, there was n barb wiro factory, a clothing l'.ictcry, and soicrnl others ; and applications Wi>ro m for 3.i0 horeo-|'ower more limn they had.

Councillor Jneks.-u remarked thero well might be, with water nt ,' f d per 10C0, and rates at 4s 6.1 m the £. Thero was no water running to waste here jutt now.

Councillor Jones s.ikl ho noticed that too, and Councillor Hill corroborated tho ttatement.

The Mayor said ho must correct one or two incorrect btatomr nls mnde by previous speakers. Tho rpply given by Mr Pobson to Councillor Allen, which lie heard, referred to tho quantity of water m tho Piircora, n;( to I lie quintily m tho race. Tho race wna only intended to carry ono and a half million?, but couM be enlarged to carry threo millions. Councillor Allen had failed to bliuw that a single application would bo received for water. The present charge was reasonable enoiuh, and no user complained of it. Ho wag informed that tho (Oil of printing tbe Hualh Canterbury Times was only li per day, a coat no one wou'.d consider cxcimvp. As for tho compurutiTo drain en tho ejpply, tho Engineer told him that one horfepower would consume as much as 1000 people, co that tho water requir.d to supply all Ibo suburbs would supply very few motors. Thcro had not been asinglo complaint from users.

Counc lor Bower : Gurdeners oxcepted. Tbo Mayor : But gardeners are paying very high rails.— Ho was much surprised at tlio statements about tho condition of tho race, and it would be his duty, with somo of the Councillor?, to see into it. If Newton hud done his duty ho would havo reported tho fact to tho effico long before tbo evil becamo so bad as Councillor Jones reported. In reply to Councillor Buh, tbe Mnyer eaid about £ 100 a year wps now received for water Bupplied for motors. If tho proposed reduction was mi do that amount would be reduced to £10 12s.

Councillor Bush was tifraid they would novcr make up euch a decline.

Councillor Bower's amendment was then put and carried, Councillors Allen, Hill and Delany voting npainst it, Councillor Alleu's motion accordingly being lost.

'Iho following motion, of which notico had been given by Councillor Gibson, woe then movid by Councillor Jackson, m the absence of Councillor Gibson, seconded by Councillor Jones — " (1) That m order to ulili.-o (he surplus water, end with a view to redueo the water rate within tho Borough, it is d. sir.iblc that tho water mains should bo extruded into the suburbs. (2) Thai when un triplication for an eitomion shows n guaranteed leturn of )5 por cent per annum, for three years, with a reasonable prospect of increased return, nnd tho extension fitting m with jrrnerul scheme, tho work" should bo undertaken by tho Council.

Councillor Bower moved and Councillor Gabitcj seconded as an amendment — 11 That tho motion bo niiilo an met ruction to tho Works Corna.itteo." Tho mov.r and several others, including tho Mayor, characterised tho motion as a tissuo of pretty eentonces without any meaning. The Mayor said every put of il that was of any Tnltio had already been ufli:med at different lime;, .>

Councillor Bower's amendment on being put was lost, only tho movir and seconder voting for it, and tho original motion was lost on the casting yjto of the Mayor. The application of Mr Archer and otlur residents along tho Otipua road for a water supply was tlion denlt with, aid on the motion of Councillor Hill it was rcaolvcd that Ibo application be granted, specifications to prepared by tho Inspector of Waterworks and preaentod at the next ordinary meeting. Councillors Jones, Dolanoy and Hujli vjted against ir.

Councillor Jones objected to any extensions being made oxcopt m pursuanco of a general lohorno, and ho moved—" Tliut Mciars Dobsnn and Sons bo engaged to oupplj their plan for Iho extension of tho water supply to the suburbs, tho coet not to cicecd JU2OJ." Tho motion was seconded by Councillor Delanoy, and carried. DOG COLLAHS. Tenders wero ordorcd to bo callod for tbo supply of GOO dog collars. Thin concluded Iho business, and tho Cumicll ro*o at 1.5 a.m.
