-
Mr. J. P. Sewn mid he made the proposition that all the
vaster should run out, and be wanted to know from whom the
Surrayor received his orders, from the board or any private
Individual?
Ceocgint mid he gave the Surveyor directions from the
minutes.
Kr. J. P. Scares' mid he had asked the Surveyor why all the
mum was not run out, and he said certain parties did not
want it done, So the Board's orders were disregarded bemuse
Mr 11. GAM* and Mr E. Pearce did not wish it done ; but he
should like to know who those men were, outside the Board,
that they should presume to countermand the order,? Why
should two or three persons gather together at the corner of a
blacksmith's shop, and FIVO the Surveyor different orders. Ito
heard at a former board meeting that a cortsin indii idual
ordered a few flante to be cracked, and the remark was made,
" Let him pay it Ile thought that rule shoold be

ing the Sint. to; be cracked, and he protested it was a tales
accimation.

dins mid Fanner Pearce had told him so.
Mr Cotbors mid he wee quite sure the other wits • false accu-
sation agalnet himself.
The CLUJ( said whatever private indiVidual might say to
the Brneyet, that did not relieve toe Surveyor from any re.
sponalbility. He was to come to the °Mos, read the minutes,
and take his orders therefrom. Then was only ono exception
when unexpected circumstances arose, it would be the duty
of the Surveyor to go to the Chairman, and the Chairman had
Use power to give orders under thorns circumstances.
Mr.lt. Pais= and Kr. Cebu.* denied [saving gken the
Surveyor any orders. Mr. E. Pearce daid he had remarked
that it was • pity to let the water run all away, said that was
all he mid.
Some of the members protested against the time being
occupied In the discussion.
Mr. & Ileft9lll.l. saki it was only beginning the new year—
The matter dropped.
The Cumulus called attention to the fact that sone of the
tasa employed by the Board received Xs. per day, while others
had 3s. per day. and were boasting that they could get 3e. per
day, short been and all. He thought this had a bad effect.
It was resolved that no man employed by the Board should
receive snore than is. per day.

Tbe Imams complained that lir. John Lowman caused •
nuimacia by depositing hasps ot stones at Souther&ll.
On the motion of MCI CLIAILIIIa. wooded by
Scams, it arm ordered that he have notice to remove.
It ma dated that certain homes l Artiste-row,we re entirely
without closets, sod he named other homes that had no swum-
modMion 1 this kind. This state cd things led to great
nuisances.
On the proposition ci Mr A. Amen, seconded by Mr P.
Pumice, It was resolved that the Surveyor examine all tho
bottom which he suspecta ore without closets, and report to
the Board.
