The overseer reported that there had been no flood in the river during the month. He dealt with the fencing con* tracts and fences which required repairs on vations sections belonging to the Board. With regard to the application of the Selwyn County Council to remove the head ' works of the water-race higher up the river, he recommended that it Bhould not be granted, as the race would run alongside the property of several freeholders who had objected on a former occasion, and they would hold the Board responsible for any damage done. It was decided to reply to the Selwyn County Council that the Board would give the Council every facility for increasing its water-power, but would require the Council to 'guarantee the freeholders against damage, and relieve the Board from responsibility. The report was adopted.
