[special.] Sept. 11. At the meeting of tho Town Council tonight, the Mayor, in reply to a question whether there was any truth in the report that an attempt had been made to ring the fire-hell on the occasion of Sir George Grey's meeting, stated that he could not be responsible for what newspapers said, but the facts were as follows:—Believing there would be & large meeting at the Theatre, he communicated with the police, and had a man stationed at the tower. The Captain of the Fire Brigade also stationed a couple of men there. This was simply done spontaneously as a precautionary measure, and was no political move, nor did politics have anything to do with it. The Oreti Road Board is considcrine the advisability of merging into the Counties of Wallace and Soutliland.
