The MATO,. ID r811,;10; 1:4741, said the committee
bad met before drawing up the report to preernt to the
Council. and they thought it would be only fair and cooper
and tend to if acilitate business to put the letter ot Mews.
Comma and Co. before the bondholder. or 'Me of the
principal of them. and they had given them to understand
they would be perfectly satiafied with any action which
the Council might see fit to take. The committee had laid
the letter of Dr. Drew before loin, of the principal of the
bondholders. and they were wquested to defer any action
until the opinion which had already been applied for by
tne b indhoiders limn the Solicitor General be received.
They expected to receive it directly the term commenced.
aced if ih..4 opinion coincided with the opinion received
Uwe Kr. Fume, then the bondholders would meet the
C wporation, and try to arrange things in the hest possible
*ay for bob parties But if the Solicitor General's
opinion did not coincide with Kr. Pearson's, then the
bondholders would stand by that opinion, and the Council
would then have to colander what course they would have
to take. Until this be done it would not be wise for the
Council to take soy lumber action in the matter.
Mr. Cumuns: In other words when they are beaten
they will give in.
Mr. Luaus: From what the Mayor has said of which
I had bad intimation before, the Council will find the beet
course will be not to oppose the bondholders, but to wait
the expiration of the t,rot, and then take action upon it.
He moved a resolution to this effect, which wee seconded
by 114. Csau.s4...

Mr. Rows said the wets ol the Pile Pier up to the
present tune amounted to £433 lit Ted.; on the debit
side there wee £483 Ba. Si, ao toot there wee now nearly
dl5l. debt.

Mr. Roams mid there was • large amount of interest
due, bonded their being, tinanciallv, in a deficit at the
present Lima The Council were just now in the position
of having nothing to pay, even it they were going to do
anything in the matter, until such times as they had other
larger riven'a front the pier, or could come to nine
arrangement so that the interest might be curtailed. The
expenditure on the pier at the present time was
tom the income. They were MO in arrears beside. the
amount of interest due to the bondholders. The matter
eras • very (revs one, and he agreed with Mr. Lnudie that
they must take action as soon as they knew whet was to
be done. He was quite sure Mr. Thornton did not wish
to plunge them into leer, for a more straightforward and
upright gentleman he met; end anything consistent
with his duty which would tend to an equitable settle-
ment of the question would be done by him, and he (Hr.
Robyn.) therefore hoped the Council would meet him
eventually and have it amicably carried out.
Yr. Denim: Would it not he more expedient for the
entire committee of the pile pier to have the matter in
hand I The committee* ought to do their special work
Instead of it. being in the bands of a special committee.
