MWeil, Batchelar, and Dungan. , JKNTTTBB. ;■• .; ' The minutes of last meeting having be#n read and confirmed, the Mayor read the following correspondence. THB MANAWATTT BSXDOB. ; His Worship said that he received a copy of a resolution passed at the last meeting of the Manawatu County Council reflecting somewhat upon the Borough Council of and which he certainly thought was uncalled for. He regretted having mislaid the communication, but its purport was to the effect that as the Borough Council had failed to take the necessary steps for the protection of the bridge leading to Fitzherbert, the County Council absolved themselves from all responsibility m; the matter. Unfortunately he had been absent from the County Council when the remarks had been 1 made, otherwise he would have had some* thing to say m the matter. '■ \ The Council agreed with the remarks :of the Mayor, and the general opinion of -the meeting appeared to be that the resolution of the County Council was ungenerous •'and uncalled for, inasmuch as -the members of that body must have known that the work was one far beyond the Council's capacity, and also that 'it had lost no opportunity of striving to get the Government to do it.
