A. Chambers wanted tbe mini deferred until after the poll bad taken and moved an amendment to til effect but this was defeated and ifl origiual motion, altered to provide fl a report on the subject by Mr Marcfafl was carried. A report forwarded by Diver Llojfl the Harbour Board on the conditiooH tbe breakwater below low water ofll is reassuring. After a careful eunfl ation of the whole length of ths it.’fl ture both inside and out, the dfl reports that, “ I found everything prifl cal*y as good as when I examintdfl thirteen years ago.” This should eitfl any who doubt the stability of fl structure. The mail train from WelliDgt<»H Napier on Tuesday did not reedfl destination till 3.30 this morning offl to the slips on the line. A sitting of the Conciliation Bflfl was held here to-day, under tbepflfl dency of Mr O’Regan, to confer local representatives in the dispute. The Board proceed to ston to-morrow. It appears that the question of ruling of the chairman of the EdnoifiH Board on the matter of the Mr Watson’s name in the list to beflfl mitted to the Hastings School mittee was not referred to the When Mr Watson wrote hie application, on the ing that his name would be the bottom of the list, tbe names were at onoe forwarded, therefore when he sought to his withdrawal it was too late. any case no great hurry appear! been taken in the matter of legal advioe, for it was hours after the Board meeting Mr Watson’s letter was received.
