The SruvEvou reported that he bad received but
one toiler for repairing and paving. and that only
for Prinees.street. This was f Mr. Malen,
and it was niue per cent. higher than the
contract entered into fur the repair of
High Street in June last. The party who hail
tenilerol also stated that he could not get a suffi-
cient quantity of the blue vein stone from the quarry
tiuisl upon by the Board to do the whole of the work
roquired. - Lou& said there ought not to he a
stone laid down till it hail been approved of by the
Surveyor, and he recommended that notice should
he given to the contractor to that effect. —The CIKuIC
sug4ested that as only one tender had been sent in
and that for only one district, the better way
. would be to refer the subject back to the Committee
6.r General Purposos with instructions to see what
arragements could he made with Mr. Malin to do a
portion id the work, where most required, in each of
the districts. This proposition, after considerable
discussion, was agreed to.

The Surveyor reported that the r.sservoir had been
tilled twice since the repairs had been made, and the
leakage, a inch was still increasing, was about half
what it was before. The valve hat also been
examined. and had been found perfectly water-
tight. The following was the result of the test made
