This was absolutely out of o and Mr. Knight had no right to ask t questions according to the standing ord as these questions cast reflections upon officer of the Council . The standing of he referred to was as follows : - " Before public business is entered upon , questions permitted to he put to the Chairman or Clerk . the Chairman of Committee conected with the busi the Council : but such quest shall not involve argument , opin innuendo , or imputations , nor contain facts except such as are strictly necessar explain such questions . A question w has been fully answered may not be newed , and , in answering a question , matter to which the same refers is not to debated . " He ( Mr. Watkins ) submit that these questions did involve innuend imputations , and were entirely out of or of The CHAIRMAN . after reading the question again , said he was well in to with the business of this Council , and thought Mr. Knight had a right to ask first question , and it was only a question whether their Tearned Clerk or the Chair of the Brigade Committee should answer Mr. COLE , as Chairman of the Fina Committee , said he thought the onus answering the question fell upon the Cle as part of those accounts referred to came before he was made Chairman of Finance Committee ; therefore it was certa ly a question for the Clerk . Mr. WATKINS disagreed , and said proper way to bring this matter before Council was by notice of motion . That the only straigthforward way of doing t as the questions cast reflections , and officer whom those questions affected sho be present to speak in his own defen This was un - English and unreasonable , a he objected to such questions being ask It was the same sort of thing when N Knight sent that other letter to the Coun As a member of the Council , Mr Knig should do the business in the proper wa and give notice of motion . The CHAIRMAN : That would he t wisest procedure to adopt . Mr. BUTCHER : What is the good raking up old matters of years ago ?

The CHAIRMAN said he could not all these matters to be argued . The quest they had , got to decide was whether the questions should be answered . If they we on the procedure which this Council h always adopted he thought Mr. Knight h a right to ask these questions . Mr. WATKINS said the proper way was bring them forward by notice of motion , they were asked for receipts and vouche and these could not be given by asking question . Mr. BUTCHER : Is there anything in t questions at all ? a matter The CHAIRMAN said the questions h been asked in public , and as policy , and for their own sakes , they shou be answered . The questions , in his opinio were not out of order as far as he was ab to judge . Mr. HALL ( to the Clerk ) : Can you answ that first question without casting any flections upon any one of the officers of t Council P The CLERK said he could not . Mr. BRAWN said it would simplify m ters if the Chairman would decide at on whether all the questions should be answer or not . They need not take each quest separately . Mr. KNIGHT said these matters had be investigated already . The Captain of Fire Brigade threw out a challenge in t newspaper that any ratepayers could go a inspect his books . He ( Mr. Knight ) took the challenge , and sent a letter to the Pre but it was not inserted . The CLERK said he could answer the qu tion , but as a matter of fact he thought would be much better if a notice of moti were given . Mr. KNIGHT said he was entirely in t hands of the Chairman . He had been ask by influential ratepayers to bring this m ter forward . They did not want these m ters kept back , and these large ratepay were surprised that this Council had brought these matters out before .
