Hobby answered a number of questions, < prhich tended to further elucidate the < 3prop&al.

He would undertake to construct the works, guaranteeing their efficiency, for the sum of £2,500, or 'lifSiifni wotrtct-brtng in the supply atoheir own cost provided that they were granted the exclusive privilege of laying down mains, being satisfied to recoup themselves from the dues leviable upon the town. Many of those present expressed them*selves a% ; very favorably impressed fwiih the effectiveness of the. scheme, and after some further discussion as to the best menus of testing the capabilities of the people to carry out the undertaking, it was finally proposed by Mr Sreele and seconded by \ r Mcßeath that the scheme bo recommended to the County Council, and that signatures be at once solicited to a petition empowering the local body to raise the necessary funds to carry out the undertaking. The meeting then adjourned. We have been asked to publish the following:—" t the weekly practice of the Fire Brigade to-night the Fire Bell will be sounded. We are requested. ,to notify this to prevent any alarm, The Bell iB deficient in sound as shown by the ringing at the late Fire. A gong will be tested a3 a comparison with the Bell."

Tno reef in t''e CneflUß is about twenty-two inches wide, Crushing on half time will be resumed . during the month. In the United Italy . 'he reef has ' een driven on for a length of 12ft, and shows a thickness of 6ft. Crushing is progressing and the cleaning up will take place some time next month. As soon as the whole, of; fho stone at present in the paddock is crushed, the Keep-it-Dark battery will have to suspend opera 1 ions until the repairs to the race • are 'completed. This will take a'^out a fortnight, during which time the ma chinery will receive a caruful. overhaulThe opening up of the low level will, however, suffer no interruption, as water for winding purposes has been secured from the Wealth race. The reef in the low-lovel averages between five and six fjeet, aqcl is q^iit&; eqi/af in quality V^thajt worked in the higher levels of the mine. A rumor was current in town 'last night that a telegram had been received here from Westport, giving very encouraging , accounts of the alluvial rush at V'okihinui. We were unable, however, to trace the report to any reliable source, or ascertain the exact nature of the infQcmajLgji re- (- ceived. It is Baid that several miners leave here for the rush this morning. • At the meeting of the Central Board of Education, Nelson, the following amongst other business was dealt with : — The Financial Committee recommended the payment of travelling expenses incurred by the Inspector in visiting Little Grey jTherfe cirere f < fu r^applications, for the 'assistant "mastership at Reefton. Messrs Saywill and Hopkins were considered eligible, ' r Saywill, in the opinion of the examiners, being the more eligible of the two. The Inspector's report on several matters referring to West Coast schools was read. With reference to Reefton, he strongly recommended that an assistant master be appointed, and that additional accommodation should be provided. He did not recommend the erection of a partition in the new school at Black's Point. With reference to constituting a new school district at the Little Grey, he stated the result of his visit so far as ascertaining the number of children in the locality, leaving it to the Board to determine whether to' make it a school, or an aided school, district. On the motion of Mr Shephard, it was resolved that the Reefton Committee be authorised to make arrangements for renting the Methodist < Church for additional school accommodation, the maximum amount to be that now before the Board. Resolved, that the Little Grey be constituted n school distract. A letter was received from the ; Black's 5 /Point .- Committee asking fop a grant of LI 15 for a variety of works specified. Mr Shephard pointed out that the building fund was not yet available and if they once commenced pledging it there was no knowing where they would stop. Resolved, that the applica- ' ;ion be taken into consideration with others when the building fund is available. ! Tho following letter referring to the i Jk-lwyn election recently appeared in the ' Chrißtchurcb Press :— Sir,— In yourissuo '

of the 28fc1f,inst. you state that a number of influent!)^, electors are desirous that cordifl^eception from the le!liogpjleisors who. will use their efforts to secilre his re-tura.-^elwyßjhwH^iw^jeewKmßi^e^ an important constituency, and sought afteE by sonW. bf tWinbat experienced politicians in the colony. To return a experience, t^e constituency would become the larrg! livestock of the colony. Tn returning v Wakefield the electors would secure a gentleman of seven years' political |xpe|ience-|rin the General Assembly, .*nJjJwijj3O<itee would be at once heard in cbtiduncing »he impost of any additional taxation. Never in the history of any colony were members of financial and large ■ political experience more required than at present. The colony is groaning •''under the burden of the million loans., 4n:l. unless prevented, ajpro.spcQt of an additional tax being placed upon-flm- industries to meet the reckless exptimitiire. How important, then, that every constituency that becomes vacant should secure the best member in the colony. — An Elector. Leeston, 31st December. The Nelson Church Ifexxenyer for Jari-, .UAEy has *just been published, and con-' tains as usual much information for' hurch people, in addition to the Bishop's, annual letter to the members of his diocese. The Messenger this month is accompanied by a sht,et almanac, in which' will be found many items of interest that will secure for it a place in every household where the papsftbr which it forms a supplement is taken 1 in.
