At a meeting of the City Council Monday, the report was submitted of the committee appointed to inquire into the charges made by the City Engineer against terfered with certain councillors of having inhim in the performance of his W. Hardwick: Do you intend to deal with the report now? The Mayor: I think it would be better to leave it over. Cr. Edgcumbe: Why not deal with it now? a ('r. Charles: I think the is such frivolous one it would be better to deal with it at once.
The committee reported with detail, terminating their report with the ing generalisation: We consider that the excessive seal of ('r. Hardwick and the strong opinions be holds in opposition to the methods of the City Engineer, are the causes which nowith cosaitated this inquiry into his relations Mr. Gliddon. We think that if Cr. Hardwick bad only given his usual deliberation to this matter, he would not We have committed this error of judement.
should be sorry for the impression to be created that we consider criticism by councillors is limited, but unless the City Engineer is allowed to carry out his instructions untrammelled, the works of the Council must necessarily suffer. and it would be subversive discipline and control. Whilst, however, we admit that every councillor has a right to freely criticise cannot grant that ho is entitled to interfere with the officials in his individual capacity. With regard to Cr. Statham, we hind there WEA not good ferling existing between the Engineer and himself, and doubtless the criticism to which Mr.
Gliddon was subjected, and the interference which we find has been proved, as detailed in this report, engendered spirit of hostility between them. While we again repeat that we would not wish to limit criticism by any councillor in representing the people who elected him, think it was unwise for Cr. Statham "to undertake position upon the works committee which was directly in opposition to his own private business. feel sure that good will result from the fact of the position between councillors and officers having now been definitely and that the City Engineer will be enabled to carry out his work more effectively now that he understands that all instructions will be given to him from the Concil or its committees. and not by individual mewbere of the Council.
Certain charges have been formulated by both Crs. Hardwick and Stalbam with regard to the construction of ronde, drains, and other works of the City Engineer. We consider, however, that these matters do not come within the scope of our duties, and if these councillors had any complaints to make they should have reported direct to the Council. We were only appointed to conwider the complaints made by the City Engineer that it was impossible for him to carry out his work whilst ho was harassed by individual councillors. -We have the bonour to be, gentlemen your obedient servants, Cre.
Molloy. Foster, and Simpson. Cr. Hardwick said that this action had born taken by the City Enginver at the that the City Engineer would be sorry instigation of someone He believed he had listened to this advice. If they did not hare an inquiry, tho ratepayers would begin to question or two.
He courted the fullest inquiry. He would keep on until he had proved to the ratepayers that bin contention was right. Coleys there was something behind the scenes, why was this inquiry to be burked The Mayor: You make the chargea, and you will receive the support of the Council in having them investigated. Cr. T.
W. Hardwick said he did not know whether ho would be asked to resign from the City Council as a result of the inquiry. More would, however, be heard of the matter. was sure be had done his duty to the ratepayers. Cr.
Stathamn then read from verbatim report of evidence which he had given at inquiry. His wish had been to have the municipal works better done, and his criticism of the City Engineer had been with the idea of assisting that officer, and initiating an improved system, getting more value for their money. This was really why these charges had been brought against himself and Cr. T. W.
Hardwick. He did not see how the City Engineer should be in a rosition to accuse councillors in the way he had done in this matter. If of that sort was going to stop him from the City Eugineer thought a bit of bluff doing what he believed to be his duty to the ratepayers, he was greatly taken. In connection with the Parkervillo quarry, he would like to see this gone into, because there WAS very big leakage somewhere. He thought the sooner the Council took this into serious consideration the better.
With regard to the inquiry, he hoped they would get someone absolutely independent. If they could get this, they would have little light thrown on the matter. The motion for the adoption of the TCport was then put and carried on tho voices. DANDARAGAN. ROADS BOARD.
