THE DORSET COUNY EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, TUESDAY, EEBRUARY 20, 1883.

A letter from Mr. Liaoning and the Harbourmaster's
report respeoting the moorings, brought up Mr.
Loynd. who, in a very timely meaner, strained the
Council that all the moorings expire atteetion, • moat
important matter, because if the tides had been •
ii e different, the ships would have been across the
Harbour. and perhaps would have briken adrift. He
read a letter to the editor of the Shiopiag and Mer-
cantile Gazette, pointiog out that Council' will be
liable for the ousts, if ships are damaged or sunk.
A report of the Harbourmaster on We subjatt wan
referred, with a request that it be attended to without
delay. The existing amino and rings, It la proposed,
shall be increased.
Mr. LOVILL pressed for the whole to be attended to
at once.
Mr. BROWN an 1 Mr. WaLue were also beard On the
matter, an attempt to check the c invereation by the
Chairman being specially resented by Mr. Wallis, who
declared he would be hoard.
TEI BYROM:IR SURVEYOR.
Mr. W. B. Morgan asked for • tsstimonial from the
Council, to assist him in his application for the post
of Borough Surveyor at Ports° intl.
The Mayor had written such • letter, which Mr.
Alderman LUNDIZ corroborated. and proposed the
Council give Mr. Morgan • testimonial
Mr. V 7 "wow seconded, speaking in the highest
terms of Mr. Morgan, and
Mr. Deems supported the proposition and remarks,
stating that Mr. Si 'man ha 1 in et surprisingly
grappled with • matter left him by Sir John ooWs.
Every question put with regard to public business he
had plainly answered, and be exhibited eyelid skill in
devising an alternative system of drainage.
The CHAIM( AN co tinned in the same strain, speak-
ing very highly of Mr. Morgan's success in construct-
ing the Outer Pier, which some people had said would
be destroyed, but which continued to resist all storms.
It win resolved to give the Surveyor a testimonial,
et the same time expreaeing the regret of the Council
at the prospect of losing Mr. 7.4 organ,
POLICIGISN'S LAMP•OIL.
A discussion arose on the bill for oil for polioemen's
lamps, which had been objected to as too costly, via,
ss. 6 I.
Mr. Vickery was called, and stated that the oil was
peculiar, being thickened so as not to run over the
men's clothes, and it c odd only be got at that price,
except in London, where it was 3s. 91. and la. 81. for
carriage.
He was directed to make enquiries whether he could
not obtain the same article more cheaply.
BOROUGH REPENDITURN AND PRO TTTTT .
Mr. ROLIZNS had a motion to appint a committee
to ascertain and report upon the income and expendi.
ture ; also the extent of our present liabilities (except-
ing the borough trusts), and the extent and value of
the properties which will shortly revert to the Corpora-
tion. He gave • masterly hbt iry of the past income
and expenditure and the extent to which the liabilities
had been paid off. He points' out which liabilities
will be extinguished in two, ten, and eleven years,
while another will remain on us for 21 years. In
1877 our indebtedness on the General Fond was
228,385 Is.. and on the special district rate £2,000.
making £30,385 le., whereat' our last report in 1882
showed £20,464 is. Id. debt on the General Fund, and
£1,500 on the special, being only £21,964 is. lit, a
diminution of 0.8.493 13.. 111. In the mount, on
which interest is paid by us. We are now paying
£l,lll 7e. 31. yearly to cancel our debt, the amount
to be paid for principal being the same till each
Particular debt is paid. Two yeses will relieve us of
£75 per annum on this head. We are also increasing
in saseessble value of the property In the borough ; in
1877 the general district rate produced £3,063 9.. 10{1,
from the rate made 12th October. 1876; but the same
rate (made 28th September, 1881) is credited at
£4,356 fis. 101. a difference of £1,292 19e, in
our Inc 'me in five years. In 1872 the assessable
value of the borough was £42,216 is. 71. ;
In 1877. £44,697 Om. 21., being an Maw* of
52,480 12.. 73. in fin) years, and In 1882 the Take bad
increased to 250,198 16s. 61, being a farther incrusts
of £5,501 16.. 41. to those five years, whiph gives an
increase of £l,lOO per annum Income beyoft4 £877 on
the same rating. Besides this we are paying about
£340 less for Interest than in 1877, and we pay annually
about £7O less now for interest ev-ry year, and in
years shall cancel one liability of £75 Per annum in
addition to this. Both, wanted to know what our Dentinal

Mr. Alderman MILLIDGS, who unfortunately was
too ill to be able to attend the Cloancil, offered his
sorriest to ascertain what is the value of the property.
The Mayor, Messrs. Thomas, Militaries, Rotten',
Curtis, Brown, and Welsford were named tte the com-
mittee, which was app rioted.
THYMUS FOR BALLASTING,
Messrs. Rigors and Dennis' tender was accepted,
It being stated that, on the arn.tnet preskady paid,
a saving would be effeeed of £3OO • year.
Mr. HourregLi questioned if the Wharfage and
Harbrur Dues cannot be collected by a respectable
person In the town at 21 per cent.
Mr. Alderman Loomis tbo ight the work cannot
be as efficiently done except through the C dlector of

Mr. Dune thought that • reduction of 21 per conk

might be made, by the appointment of two collectors,
