ton, for the purpose of fludting the sewer, had been

vented any extension of the sewer seaward. The
surveyor has b rought before the Committee the question
of extending the main sewer at lktedford-terrace, to
enable the residents to c insect their drains, and the
Committee recommended the Board to extend the
Newer as proposed by the surveyor. It is estimated

The Sur syor reported that the private dreioage
works and connections with the main sewers, gardens
being cropped, the progress has been slightly iuterfered
with, but hopes to get the principal portion of the
work cleared up in the ensuing quarter. Houses
at Bedford-terrace wanted drainage, and should be
carried out without delay. To extend the main sewer
for this purpose would involve a cost of £l2. The
water mains and hydrants for sewer-flushing at the
Harbour have been laid and connected from the Water
Company's mains at Wanderwell to the Herbonr. In
accordance with agreement between the Board and
the Water Company, the mains are charged with
water, and the works completed, exoeptiog repairs to
the road. The necessary flashing shahs are being
constructed for the purpose of conveying the water
from the hydrants to the termination or dead end of
each section of sewer drainage. Notices have been
served OD occupiers of those houses at the Harbour,
whose drains were not previously connected. The iron
parapet railings, girders, and tubes at South Bridge
require painting, and also the ironwork at lit. May's

the pavement n East-street, damaged by the R.H. A..
At South-street, Barrsek-street, and North Allington
three street water standposte have been erected, in
compliance with instruotions. The hones in Let-street
moulded by Dr. Hay had berm visited, and the
drainage found to be connected with the cesspit, but
this had belie remedied- The attention of various
shopkeepers bad boeo drawn to the height of their
blinds from the pavement, alad ti the fact that the
staples are above the stone, and they have promised
to have the nuisance remedied.

secooded by Mr. FSLATJNI, that the pavement injured
by the soldiery be at once repaired.

Office refusing to acknowledge the claim mede by the
