Mr. Vith IST di,l not think that.
It was stated the previous man bad 21s per week.

difficulty.
A supplemental reservoir was mentioned, and Mr.
Jowett said that would coot £7OO.
Ulimately the matter was referred to the water
committee, viz., the Mayor, Aldermen Coombs, Galpio,
Lock, and Councillor Bishop.
This concluded the business. '

THE DOKOHESTHR WATHBWO:
To Me Vito.
SlR,—Tbe application of the man in charge of the
engine, kc., at our water works, for an increase of
wages ands lessening of the hours of lob3ur, rociallo to
mind many circemstanees and predictions in conneetion
with the purchase and fitting up of the present
machinery. Mr. Gregory was quite right in his
remark that the promise held out in contemplation of
the new engines, was, that a much shorter period of
time would be required daily, and on the Sundays the
pumping would be comparatively trifling. Also, that
in the article of "cool" alone, there would be • sayi
ig
of • hundred pounds yearly. I have not the means of
knowing what the ' saving" has really been, but I
have observed and often remarked, that, judging from
the smoke issuing from the chimney. I should say that
the engines are sal tom inactly,.. Mr. Bishop's reply
to Mr. Greory. that we have not siffi ient room in
the rmervoir, oily be truo enourb, and I would beg to I
add, ii ither should e e have room enough were the
reservoir twic • its aim Y4ll may, by overworkiag 011.11
and machinery, keep up a supply, but to meet the
exorbitant dements of the extravagant and watohful
habits of MIDI, ant the wilful waste of others, is
simply absurd. and any amount of watetifulness
or supervison would be so much labour lost. I
have long been satisfied that the case would be fully
met, if the Board would at once rcsolutrly set to work.
Take, for example tie practice cioinuion to all gu
compouies, of supply by meter. Here you have
your remedy, simple, and efficient. Let all pay for
what they use, then there would be but little complaint
of waste. lam aware that many objections would be
raised to this, or any other schemes. So there was
to the introduction o/ the" Health of Towns Act." but
' who amongst us would be without it now? LA the
charge for both meter and water be on the lowest
scale, cousiatent with reserving • balance quarterly
with the treasurer for an annual reinctlon of the
borrowed capital. You will then have sucooes and
satisfaction go hand in hand. Whereas now, waste of
water is all but universal, in private houses, in gardens
for trade purposes, in stable yards, inns and hotels, all
are more or leis guilty of waste I waste ! ! waste I!
I am, Sir, yours, &c,

Tat BRIDPORT RAlLWAT.—Undoubtedly the °in-
struction of this line between the Maiden Newton
station of the Great Western railway and Brid•
port, has been of immense advantage to the town
and trade of the neighbourhood; but the original
eh re olda rs (principally log ii residents) bane
iced no divi lends, and the preference share-
holviers hero only recently begun to get interest
11.ir their money ; while now, even the prospeets of the
Litre, are how dimmed; and the likelihood of the
original proprietirs ever getting a sailing return is
being hopelesvly distanced by the rivalry of a South
Wyatt rn waggon ! This waggon, it poems, travelling
between Bridport and Crewkerne, pools 14 miler, c in.
reps veil; cleaner, more ezpediti usly, and safer, thou
the riilway : and the Bridport company are almost
help!, as to eff,ct a change. For the line is leased for
'll years—to let July, 1879 -to the Crest Western
Company, and they seem indifferent to the develop-
ment of the West Dorset traffic, both passenger and
geode ; for shereholders in the Bridport company 00m-
p1.in of the bed carriages and their dirty state, and
iltimate that "the public cannot be blamed if they
travel the best way."—which Is riot by the Bridport
line. The "oneehore" arrangement for hauling the
carriages to the platform has provoked the ridicule of
travellers for years. and at last an extension of the
station to obviate it is proposed at • cost of £3OO. Then
the old dreim is again haunting the shereholders of
Waggon the line to the Bamt.bridge, or to the harbour:
but that we fear would not greatly benefit anybody,
the natural extension being to Lyme Regis, however
cistly inch • line would be.
Weis' GENERAL SCHOOL—The annual meeting of
this institution has been held under the presidency of
the Mayor. The boys displayed their knowledge not
only of the" three its." but were subjected to • minute
....initiation by Mr. K Jefford on the laws of motion,
trippingly using scientific terms, snob se describing the
globe as an "oblate spheroid," and evidently under-
standing them. It seems that these higher branches of
knowledge, including mathematics', physical geography,
and animal physiology, are open to all the scholars
who choose to study them. As to religious instuction
the authorised version of the Bible is read and taught
daily, hitt none of the catechisms of the sects are used.
Mr. W.tlilinrtoo, 0 ,v,rnoinnt Inspector, says " rhe
r..-ults in this schoJl are quite beyond anything in toy
experience thr.ugh the southern (*libelee," and the
sneeesi in after life of pupils at the school shows the
education is reaL About 300 boys attend the
schoo
