Mr. R. M. 811311111D0 I said be knew Mr. Randall
very well, and be believed if the contriset was given to
him, it would be carried out in • proper miuiner. As it
was £l2 lees, be thought it should be given him, and he
should propose that etwili be done.
Mr. J. Birnurr had much pleasure in esconaing
Mr. Stembridge's proposition, u be did not believe they
should be paying due regard to the ratapeyers interest,
In overlooking a tender of £lO3, and mospting one for
1115.
On the propositions being pot to the meeting, the
former wee thrown out, and the latter carried nen con.
The CUL= (Mx. F. W. (luidry) Mess read the
report of this Paving Committee. They reoornmentsd
that Mr. John Cooper should be ordered to restore the
stone belonging to the Omni', and which he had used
on private property in Qoeen.street, and also to
eomplete his contract in a satisfactory manner. That
the £l2 due to him upon his contract should be with-
held, until he bat done so. They bad reconsidered their
report as requested by the Boort at their last meeting.
sod recommended that all the paving and repairs
therein mentioned, with the eruption of a small
portion in East-street, should be carried out, son in
addition Migniso that ashplialte should be laid down
from Kr. H. R. Hon:teen in Bradpole road to the end
of Melrose cottage, the work to be done by the Board,

kfr. B. N. COI explained the reason of the ashphallis
work being recommended L be performed by the Board
under lb* superintendence of the Surveyor. There is
a map of the name of Tuck, who is very soocessful be
laying down selipbalta, Lod the committee considered
that no hotter plaa oould be adopted, than employing
Ibis man to do the work coder th• superintendence of
the Sorveyor, and the Board to purchase the materials
themselves from the pa sompaay.
Kr. J. BAarcerr proposed that the report of the
paving committee be adopted, ani bills be issued
requesting tenders for the performasoe of those portions
of she work therein recommended, wide% the Board did
sot Mimed to do themselves.

Mr. J. TsarLaura seeooded.--Cerrled stem eon.
Several tosothers requested that the bills might set
forth more especially, that the old stows not used Is the
property of the Board, aid ale, that the face of the
pitching atones mast be hammer dressed.

Mr. WILLIAMS : The net. business mentioned on the
.per is the motion of which Mr. Herbert lionessll
baggier% notice, but on looking over the minute. of the
meeting, at which the quieten of • water supply for the
borough was discuased, I And time the matter was
adjourned for two months. and on salculatin the data
en which tine subject will be again brought forward, I
And it will be on the Bth 01 April, and not on the 134 h
as menteed in Mr. present motion, I do
not thick that any committee could tarnish a satire,
factory report of the kind required, in so short a time.
viid I think Mr. Hosasell'a wisest coarse would be, to
withdraw the motion. I only throw this out as
suggestion to him, but I think it would be the best plan
he could adopt.
Mr. H. E. Hwgist.i than road his motion, "That •
mcomittee be appointed to eseertain the most desirable
mettaid, and the probable oast of affording a cionstent
and efficient supply of water, for drinking and other
purpose., and to report thereon on the 13th of April."
He felt much obliged te Mr. Williams for the observa-
tions which had fallen from him, and which bad
anticipated in • great measure, the »merits ha intended
to with maggot to the date. He was at the tim,
be gave noties of the motion, under tin., impression that
the subject of • water supply would be again brought
forward on the 13th of April. He drew up the notate
in the Commit Chamber at the last meeting, and he
believed that he enquired on what day it would be
brought on again, sod wu told the 13th. When he
Ant moved the subject of • ..ter supply, he was told
by several of the opponents to his motion, that they did
aot vote for the amendment, for the porpote of
throwing the original motion over, but that time might
be obtrined to scab)e enquiries to be made and that
every information might be collected respecting the
subject. He felt that time was of greed importance in
the matter, became if the motion was carried the work
that'll be pushed forward during the summer, cod it
was in order to save time that he gave notice of that
motion. He quite costarred in the remarks which had
been made, with respect to the insufficient time for
obtaining the information be required. He did not ask
that any mon. y should be greeted for the purpose of
the *equity, but las considered that the information be
might to obtain by etish mating: was both requisite
and valuable for the pawpaws of discussing the subject
in a proper manner, when swat brought forward. He
had already tried to persuade the Board to pledge itself
to bring the water in, but they had refused
(" No no") or at least, they hid adjourned
the question. Under the eircumetancee, be thought
be had better withdraw hi, motion, but be ooasidered
that he ought to be allowed to reserve to himself the
option of brining it forward again on the Bth, after
the discussion of the original motion.
. . .

To thia, however, verjstrong objestiom were raised
as being irregular mad against the rule. of the Board,
and Mr. Boswell ultimately withdrew bW motion
un?ooditioaudly.
. . .

Kr. WiLLlatte then referred to one or two points
brought forward at Um last mooting, and on which
orders were then made. . . -

Some irons projecting over the shop of kir. Joseph
Parker, butcher, or Eastetreek were then ordered to
be removed, and the order has mince been complied
with.

Mr. Mozer applied it the Let meeting fore grant to
alter the front ot his shop in Eastatreet, so as to LOME.
It more tionvenleat for Ni. purposes of his trade as
• butcher. This was however refused, nod the
decision conveyed to Mr. Morey by the Clerk in • letter.
111 r. Morey hem omitted to remove a temporary alters.
lion he had Ml4O, and the cleric we. requested to take
the necessary steps for its removal.
Some el the members enquired what steps bed been
lakes with regard to the nuisance created by the smoke
Wining from the engine erected by Mr. Hounsall, in
Byer Acres. . .

The Ctmut stated that he had in sosadanc• wittithe
request of the Board written to Mr. Hawaii, but
hiding that no notice was takes of his latter, he caused
• statutory notice to be served on him. The act
required that oaten time should be given, and until
that time expired no further steps could be taken
against Me. Hoene&
The °LW Ma read a letter he bad reeeived from
the Rev. J. Rogers, requesting that some immediate
gem might be taken id the deem, as sines complaint
11•4 been made the aillteadill had yler!esed.

Mr. WILLIAMS said the mat berfors was to resolve
the report of the sanitary committee. ried to make such
coders thereon as might be emendated wassary. The
sommittee had damned on mestiag owe • week, is aa
to obtain as mach information as they possibly ecedil.
They had reported as folly no lay in their power, and
when the report had been read, the hoard would be
eble to judge what progress bed been made.
The Ctaax then read the report, in which the
„a.m.e ostied attention to • few places at the bottom
of Southetram, where bah-pita were not covered over,
end there was inselßoient privy socommadsaaa. lo
most of the mese the committee had communieated with
the owner, of the property, and the matters oom
of had been remedied, to that orders only bed to be
made in one or two Mermen. The committee also
called attention to the nate of • main in West-street,
Tanning from the back of the George len. behind the
houses ea the moth aide of Weetetreet, sad seapteg
inielf into the politic drain in 85. Michael's-Imm. The
committee reported that it wee very sear the endues
sad completely stoked, sod resconsteoded that the
matter should be at once remedied.
The Board spewed to be maaletoesly of opinion
that the duals Moeld be Gleamed es speedily es ',table,
the only dialmay being es to the liabilicy of maim is,
the feat of its being • palate or private drain being
rather eloody.
In &sewer to **quirks from the Board, the Inspietor
dated that be tboaght four ar five pounds would cover
the east of the work.
The Camerae said that is the question of liability
to cleanse the draie was rather ascertain, the Mete of
the draie very bad, sad the expanse of Meaming it so
be should propose that the Beard ham the
drain eimmed, so the ill offsets seising from sulk •
state of thinp Mould he removed as quickly as poisible.
N. Om sesoaded the propo.unon, end he
lamed the work would be earned out as speedily as
possible, and not kept Moot.
