PEOPOB4L TO GRANT 11Z-LIASIS.

Hz. THOMAS had given notice of a motion to consider
the propriety of extending leases of borough property
held by Yours. Wolaford, Tizard, and Aylesbury. In
introducing his motion he said the Council are going
to mortgage their property for a loan, and to repay
that loan, they had no other resource but to tax the
ratepayers. Many of those living in sonic of the largest
houses In the borough aro at their wit's end to obtain
the common necessaries of life, and the Council ought
to hesitate before they levied a penny more than neces-
sary upon them. He thought the amount to be bor-
rowed could be reduced by granting the.. extensions,
and suggested that the matter be referred to a 00111.

There was a long diavateion, in which Mr. Alderman

Mx. HOWLED contended that the granting of renewals
of lateen was a very bad plan of raising money, SS it
threw upon posterity the bur& u of the debts of the
past, and, besides, as the Council could only treat with

The MAYOS: There is one matter which I wish to
mention to this Council in which I take • deep interest,
and, although it is not on the nodes paper, I hope you
will pardon me for bringing it forward. It is • subjeet
which I believe will prove to be of considerable benefit
to the town. You meat have all notioed in travelling
about the country, the handsomelpillastrated adver-
tisements at different railway stations of various places,
snob as Malvern, Folkstone, and other towns, and the
idea occurred to me the last time I was away from home,
and whilst waiting at a railway station, wheth 1. it
would not be • most desirable thing to get Weymouth
well advertised. We have a beautiful bay. the finest
bathing place in England, and it only need that the
merits a the town be brought before the people to get
good reward. We can never expect • good harvest
unleu we begin to sow the need. I will oak Mr. Steggall
if we can devote any sum of money to advertise the
town upon the various railway stations.
The evitec said there were no funds available. I nu-
much as the Council were about to tako up a large sum
of money they would not be justified in doing so.
The 1111AT01: I feel the importanoe of this matter
very deeply indeed. It will be in the recollection of
you gentlemen that last year Mr. Thomas moved •
resolution that the Mayor's salary be reduced from £lOO
to £5O a year. I then seconded the proposition, and I
see no reason now to alter my opinion. Daring my
ni ,yoralty I propose to only .iocept £5O for my private
ponce, and will devote the rousaining £5O towards
advertising the borettgh—(,applauso). I purpose having
a meeting on Monday evening, at seven o'clock, to whielt
I I invite your attendance, when I hope this question
will be taken up well. I have seen Mr. Eliot, who has
promised to advocate the matter warmly; also Mr. John
Devenidi, who has consented to do the same; and I
have no doubt we shall get a hearty response to this
question.

THR POST OF HARBOUR mAwnut.

---
The Mayors wits about to read several applications
for this °Moo, when Mr. HOWARD suggested that the
Harbour Finance Committee should consider whether
the salary should remain as at present, or be altered.
The late Mr. Pearce had EIO a year from the Pile Pier
Fund, and as the pier it now let, he did not see why
the Conned should be called on to pay that sum.
The hisToa stated that the salary is £lO from the
Pile Pier Fund, £lO from the Bridge Fund, for opening
It, and £l5O from the Harbour Fond.
Mr. 11. Divitgisn said the late harbour muter had
told him he was out of pocket in opening the Bridge.
He thought that part of the salary should be re-con-
sidered.
Mr. Howard's suzgestion was adopted, and the
Mayor undertook to see the recommendations 604:aided
