• entirely the advantage of the Harbour current or
scour, leoving that groat force unutilised. Th. force
of the outward 8 IV/ of n Ivoly of water varying from
35 millions of gallons to 608 millions of gallons seems
, me so great that it should be in:wooed into this
service, instead of being abandoned by delivery of the
, sewage at • point outniile to infli .coos in Poitland
Roads. The cot of Mr. Morgan'. scheme cannot be
1 less than an Bit rate for thirty years, and this without
reckoning the
demands, while exten-ling the name over 50 years
would not reduce it proctically below a seven-penny
rate,on account if the additional twenty years interest,
and to this must be aille-1 the extra c iet of his sewage-
water-supply. If we controst this with Mr. Hawke.-
ley's ; lan, the difference is large. Mr. Robens states
that eminent engineer offered • than which would
cont only £16.000; but Mr. Eli 4, no doubt
with • lively recollection of the large increase in the
cost of Sir John Code's works, remarked that labour
and materials have riots 30 to 33 per cent. dace then.
Supposing we admit the higher amount of rise, and
take it at a little over £33 per cent., or one-third—the
cost according t Mr. Dawkoley. with the addition,
would be a trill. lees than £21.,400. instead of the
£30,000 which Mr. Hoboes has pointed out Mr.
organ'e outlay would amount to when capitalised.
Of course it is annoying to think that 225.000 is gone,
and I am sorely tempted to write something severe.
But &golden sent-nce fell from Mr. Councillor Wallis
at the last meeting which checks me. Sail he, in
answer to an arguing Councillor—" Do it in love,
then." and for once Mr. Wallis shall my mentor. and
I will not irritate. But one grand decision the Board
have arrived at, anti others are not far off. The first
is—" Present nuisances shall be attacked and illegal
discharges stopped." TO next decision I anticipate is
on the question—" Whether the smells came from
sewage or seaweed?" And the third will be as to the
ultimate disposal. That I may not he thought rash in
prophesying. the ways of dealing with the matter may
be stated. There are about seven :

First—Core nothing about it,
&wood—Discharge into the Harbour anyhow.
Third—Thscharge only into the ebb tide.
Fourth—Lift and irrigate land.
Fifth—Lift an 4 clarify.
Sixth—lift at discharge to sea.
&genus—Discharge only liquid, and use the Dry Earth
sTetem.
The first is condemned by nil; the second is on Its
•rid; the third is Mr. Hawitsley's ; the fourth is Sir
John Coode's ; the fifth is very like Mr. Harrison's ;
the sixth is Mr. Morgan's ; the seventh is the one foe
clean and careful people only, but will not do with
servants and children We may at once strike out the
first, fourth, mil seventh; the fifth, or clarification, I
think, Mr Morgan clearly disposes of leaving the
question between Mr. Robens's -Mr. Hawkaley's, and
Mr. Morgan's. I wait the result of the examination
decided on. before riving an opinion as to whelisr Mr.
Robens's plan should remain on the hot of "
Meanwhile it is by far the cheapest of the three.
