Qintations were pot by one or two Councillors, with
a view to an adjoornment, to the acting Town
Clerk (Hr. hietwyl, and to the Mayor, as t, whether
soy ofilci.l notice bad been received of the sad event,
and, as the amoral. In both oases wse in the negative.
It war decided to proceed with the business of the
meeting.
The eetimated expendidure for the ensuing qusiter
was reported ti be £l4lO tit. 81.. and the report of the
lr inane Committee upon Md. matter was slop:ed.
Alderman Cumin furni.bed some agreeable news to

they lay on a new pipe. This quarter when thee seal
in their bill to the Council an offset of some L*9 was
deducted from it. and • °beg.e for the balance
tendered them. Tbie the Gas Company refused to
accept.

proper state of repair by the form ir coni.r.ctors. 'i.e
to the other pokt, nothing wise m ire certain than
that when 'ii,, Millar was in place as surveyor, the
Company agreed ti pay him for opening the street.
and roa.lwayr, and replacing them in their proper o .n.
dittos, It aeorned to him the Company wished t teks
.Ivantsge of the fact that they hid no formal written
agreement to that eff It. Had they wished for one
they should have asked for it as men of honour, and
not have attempted to get out of the payment of
them LI by a mere side wind.
rbilp SIALYOR : If they repudiate their moral obliga-
ti me, the only thing Is for is. to bind them down to
their legal obligations, and require them, when they
wish to lay down pipes in the (Mum, to give the
required three days notice to the surveyor.
Mr. Alderman CUaTut said that would eattil no
hardslaipe upon either th- Gas or the Water Companies,
but upon isdiskialls. A man might desire to go on
with building operations, and desire a supply of water
to be at once laid on ; it would be very hard if be had
to welt three days. No one could shut their eyes to
the fact that tire r depayers were suffering at the
hands of both the Water sad lb, Gas Companies by
the destroyel of the streets. Instead of putting them
in repair after breaking them up, these companies
called upon the town to do so, and then &hand the
money they therneelves ought to have spent. This
accounted for their dividends.
Alderman Nultroit proposed, and Alderman CUMS
seonadad, that the gas bill stand ..ver.
The MAYult suggested that, as the Gal Committee
had Dent them in another bill for £7 7s. for Betties
Lae police offices, • cheque for the original blt should
be drawn, mad this item kept back as an off rot against
the claim ot the Council upon the Company.—This
was agreed to.
The estimates for the quarter under the Public
Health Act were stated to be £895 15.., of which 1:611
—or £8,500 a-year, as Aidermau Coatis remarked—
goes to the streets.
In reply to Alderman Noirron, the Acriso-Ctsas
stated some alterations had been mad, by the it silway
Company at their gates, bat th .y it ii been informed
they were in .ufloient, ant the indlogs most be
