thought that as the report of the committee had
been an unanimous one they ought not to countenance
the letter received from the contractors, as it
would interfere with the duty of the Council.
Mr. Devenish was of opinion that before the
report was adopted some intimation should
be given to the contractors as to the terms upon
which the Council would meet them, as if the
report was adopted without any suggestion being
made, there would be an end of the matter.—Mr.
Howard would like to know the cost of the embank.

interested in the matter. —Mr. Devenish said he had

at the same time. It was upon the purity of
the water that the health of the town depended, and
if drains were allowed to flow into it, that
would be the means of injuring the interests of the
town. —Mr. Eliot said he was misunderstood at the
last meeting of the Council, when it was stated that
he purposed emptying the drainage of the town in
the Backwater. His suggestion was to have a large
sewer there, and then take =oh steps as was thought
neory afterwards to get rid of the sewerage of the
town. He believed the time would soon come when
something must be done for the drainage of the
town, or else the Council would be in difficulties,—
After some further cooversatioo, in which the
majority of the Council appeared to be in favlur of
the report being adopted, Mr. Eliot proposed, and
Mr. W. Thomas seconded, "That Mews. Aird and
son be requested to state on what oonditions they
will biuld the stout wall, hem the end of the present
viaduct to the corner of Mr. Weldord's timber
pound, and fill up behind, on a level with the Com-
mercial-raid, to be completed in such a time as may
be agreed upon."
