1111017113 OP THZ QUAY& —A meeting of the Quay
Trustees was held at the Guildhall on Friday, under the
presidency of the Ilayor(Councilthr A. Kslston), and there
were also present Aldermen F. Stirring, G. 11- PAZDAT.
and J. Buckley: Councillors J. S. Hudson. G. Curti W.
N. Western, 11. R. Duguaore, W. D. Duinthle, e. J.
Uonway, W. H. Ballard, T. Buckley, R. Aldridge, and E.
P. Philpota.—Mr. Duiplale said that in exordium with
the powers delegated to himself and Er. !faction at the
last meeting, they went out in the new steam dredger to
test her capabilities, but, unfortunately, owing to the
breaking of a chain, they were obliged, after abut twenty
minutes very satisfactory trial, to postpone further opera-
tions. On Thursday the breakage haying heeo ref sired,
he (Mr. Duadale), sccompaaied by some other members of
the Board, rammed his inspection, and for the Brat twenty
minutes the vessel and machinery performed their work
in the most admirable manner, hut dulling something had
gone wrong they caused the sucker to be eleystwd, when
it was discovered that the copper noun had to some
extent collapsed under the enormous power of the
suction. Gopper, he thought, wan too soft • metal for the
purpose, and • harder material was shout to he sulatitu-
tut When that was done the dredger would fully meet
the requirements of the specidcations to stow 1011 tons per
hour. In fact, at the rate be saw it performing, it would
readily wicomolish the lifting and stowing of 150 tons.—
Mr Hudson confirmed the opinion of Mr. Dugdale, and
I said the sucker lifted at least 310 tons in the aggregate
I per hour, but a great portion of this fell over the
! site of the vessel, and being in a iserni•liquid state was
carried aw ay by the receding tide. This was • greet im-
' pruvement over the old rake dredger which, besides the
quantity stowed, brought little or none to the surface.—
Mr. Penny observed that if the Swanson people complained
before that • great portion of mud and sand displaced by
the old dredger drifted over and settled down close by
their shore they would have snumr reason to complain,
for if the mud wee carried away by the tide to such an
extent as was reported they would soon fill up Swanage

protested against by sonic !!f the elected Guardiana, and
alter • little 'nom-firing • competes was effected by
reading the correspondence, au.l Waring the consideration

The first business on the agenda paper was to madder
" the propriety of obtaining a re-valuation of the rateable
property in the Poole IJoton."—Mr. Curtis mid it was
known to lathy of the gentlemen present if not to all that
they continually received roemorialaand deputations from
Hinson complaining of the inequality of the rating in
that parish, and it was thought advisable to enter the
question for discussion as to whether it was desirable to
c--value the property throughout the Union. He thought
they bad better submit for • little while longer to any illa
that might exist and we if there was any legislation
on the matter of rating.—Mr. Elliott said the little rate-
payer. at Konen were paying merely • nominal sum, but
an alteration was required in Poole as much as in the
country. many of the old ratings in Poole being very low
indeed —Mr. Pearce, who said he thought there was •
scheme laid down for the re-valuation of the Union, spoke
of the seriousness of the matter. —lle had no doubt there
were Inequalities throughout the Union, but he thought
they could be remedied by the Assessment Committee
Mr. Curtis said that although he did not " father " the
scheme for the re-valuation of the whole Union, it was
only fair to Raison that if that parish was re-valued the
whole of the Union should be.—The Chairman read •
letter he had received from Alderman K. Kemp-Welch,
J.P., on the subject in which the writer, speakinocd the
propriety of • re-valuation of the property in the Union,
said •. —" I am far from being oppeed to such a step; my
doubt is as to the advisability of undertaking it just now.
Why not wait and see if the Government will revise the
Valuation Bill of last S onion Whether that touched
Poole I am not certain. but It would the parishes in the
Union outride the Borough, An adjournment of the
question is, therefore I think win. —Yr. Durall said the
whole Union was re-valued under the new Assessment
Act, but since then property bad thee much altered. He
doubted whether the Assessment Committee hadn't the
power to re-value.—The tthatnnan said the overseen were
the persons to do this, and they could call in my assist'
sacs. —Mr. Stone could not see not see why they should
draw in the whole of the Colon when only the parish WSII
dissatisfierl.—Mr. Curtis moved the following resolution:
—"That in the opinion of this Baud, in prospect of
Imperial legislation on the matter of rating, it is not
advisable at present to disturb the present valuation of
the Union.—Mr. Dugdale, in seconding the resolution,
said • friend of OW, who had had ZS years' experience In
such matters, was of opinion that it would cost not lase
than from £2,000 to .a5OO to measure, mop, and value
the Union.—The resolution was carried unanimously.—
The next bemuses was "to decide what sews shall be
taken in reference to the protected Ulnae' of Mr. Walter
&thine the relieving officer for the first district of this
Union. —During Mr. Rollis Illness Mr. Boatyard, the
relieving officer of the second district has done the work
of the whole Union, and has received Al a week intro
from the G uardiana Rolling is suffering from
paralysis, and unable to write, nut he therefore tendered
his resignation through the Workhouse master; Kr.
Clarke. —The Chairman said tha time had arrived when
they must take some stave in this renter. Mr. BOalinik
who was • faithful servant for very many years, was now
laid up with an illness from which he would never recover.
He had honestly and efficiently discharged his duties, and
he hoped they would motes liberally towards bins se they
thought conostent.—lt answer to Mr. Stone the clerk said
