Findlay presiding, to consider a lettr from the Secretary to the Harbour Board in which a request was made for any information thafc might prove of assistance to Mr. Ferguson m the report he is to make to the Board on the subject of the construction of a wharf at Petone: Members expressed satisfaction at the action of the Board, and hoped it would lead in the near future to the acutal carrying cut of the work. It was resolved to suggest to the Board, with other particulars, that what wa» required 1 was a wharf capable of berthing a vessel of 2000 tons, with caftway and facilities for railway, and with a> tee at the seaward end for shelter purposes. As to the site, it was decided to suggest that it be made as central m possible— «ay near Buick-street. The meeting selected the following to confetitute the Council, of the Chamber for the ensuing year: — Messrs. H. Findlay, R. Wilson, W. Jenness, E. W. Woodhouse, and W.

He ' was iiot allowed to eat this or drink that ; h'd was made to walk and to ride when he felt far more inclined to test, and in a little time they would probably deviSe some fresh means of 'bodily torture. He was getting rather tired of the exactions, and was beginning to wonder whether it would not be better to take to pick and shorel work at once than to pay this constant penalty for his sedentary life.
