WATCR 00111111/12-1107111111ZYDOVIS SALARY.

The Watch Committee recommended the promotion
of P.O. Harvey from 2nd to let class. With reference
to en application of Mr. Sept. Coward for an increase
of salary in lieu of house rent, the committee had
given the matt,,r due consideration, and they recom-
mended that an incr... of CIO a year be granted, to
take effect from June 24th hilt, and that application
be made to the Home Offiss for a moiety out of the
Consolidated Fund. It appeared the moiety would
amount to one half.
In the course of the discussion, Mr. Alderman
GREGORY remarked Mr. Coward's salary wee below
the superintendents in the county.
Mr. W. TiLtir : But he has not the duties that a
superintendent in the county has.
Mr. Pops: What district has 8,000 inhabitants?
(Mr. Coward's salary is at present £125 a year).
Mr. Alderman GSZOORT moved that the report be
rtiosived and adopted.
Mr. A. Loos: Before we do that I should like to know
how we stand.

The MATOS said they had MakMents as to the
different salaries ptid, and it was found Yr. Coward
was not so well paid as others.
Mr. Alderman CORMS seconded the motion.
Mr. A. LOCK moved an amendment that it be
granted subject t) the consent of the Homo Officio to
pay the nrilety.
Mr. Pore said the labourer was worthy of his hire,
and if • man was worth Ell/ a year more, let them
give it him. Even if they did not get It from the
G wernasent, he did not eee why they should not pay
their servants properly.
Dr. ALDSIDOS remarked Dorchester was only a
meal borough.
Mr. Alderman GIZOORT said they had compared it
with others of about the sum population.
Mr. A. LOCK was against increasing the rates, by
tiv3ZSIO here and £lO there. Their rates were
ng very much.
Mr. Pore: And so is our rateable veins.
Mr. Alderman Cuabt and Mr. Pore bore testi-
mony to the excellent way in which the books were
kept.
Kr. G. DAVIS said if they named Mr. Coward's
salary then they would be asked to raise Mr. Thomas'
and the Inspector of Nulasnoss' salaries. If they
raised one then raise the whole. Upon this ground It•
should oppose it.
tic. POTS replied snob servant stood on his own
merits, and each application for a flee was considered
Independently. They had fully considered this. The
way in which the books were kept was a credit to the
town, and be thought they would have great difficulty
In getting a Superintendent to do the duty so well for
the same salary.
Mr. G. DAVIS Wooded Mr, LOCK'S amendment.
Mr. A. LOCK: We should save £lOO a year by
amalgamation with the county, and the work would
be as efficiently done. I think we are bound to save
the sates as much as possible.
Ur. Alderman GIUMOST said that matter had been
gone into many times, and if worked out he thought
It would be found different to what Mr. Look had
said.
On • division Mr. Look, Mr. G. Davis, and Mr.
Tilley voted for the amendment, and for the motion
the Mayor, Alderman Corms, Alderman Davis,
Alderman Gregory, Mr. Pope, Mr. F. Look, and Kr.
Bennett. Dr. Aklridg• did not vote.

wan next discussed, and the Surveyor reported the wet of
enclosing 10 new pens would be £4l 15s. if paved with
blue bricks, and £36 11s, If asphalted.
MA • Pore moved, and Mr. DAVIS wooded, that
the sent estimate of the Surveyor be accepted.—
Mr. G. Symonds (auctioneer) wrote as follows
Gentleman —1 particularly wish to direct your attes-
ting to the stook markets, Inasmuch as on alternate Sant
days tits ythileges I have for many years enjoyed without
VW hairiness), seem now to be without control, and
regularly on my sale days do I find soother auctioneer
slaws stock in the sailing shed which is ewers' in, end
there keeping the suns for the purpose of haring Priorit7
of vas for hour, together. This her se well as atom
esallismen fer whom I am swam , is • great nuisance,
and which ought to be remedied by the Town Causal, or
other persons authorised to do ea Hume no wish whale
ever to amen* the use of either ring to myself, and am
perfeetly eontent to turn my stock into them when I com-
munes to sill the mesa and not earlier, or if engaged by
any other person In actual business I am content to wait
until alealled. I wish also to call attention to the position
of the odor ring, which. in order to tasks more sheltered,
I would adAse the removal of the upper end of the railing
by the Greed Westens Railway. This would materially
assist ma in the disposal DI the cattle to the advantage of
the sellers who are eontinuelly complaining of the great
a:polars sad may be covered in at little expense, and for
whine alteration I &add be sled to pay Inlsses, on the
satlay. also for the erection of • shed on the eoutlmireet
side, by the road, sad continuing the smaller shed to the
ring mentioned. Other auctioneers mold than have the
of the now enclosed ring and the shedding for fat
stook as used by myself without any interference. I might
add I bays called the attention of the Mayor to the altera-
tion as well as that of the Borough Surveyor of Dorchester
