owners of land at the upper part of t. `se Backwater,
who said that if there was not • good olwthall and

injury would arise. If the viaduct was Owlet' out
there would be that flow of water which e 'ow took
place, and no obstacle in the way. The ho. 'den of
property in Commerciel.road were of opine `ll that
if this embankment was contracted the water would
be shut back, and would not be able to peas samPt
through the mauling in the oentre, and the me %se-
quence would be that both upend down there woe Id
be an eddy which would bring filth and settlemen t.
not only from the harbour itself, but from the sewers
that ran into the Backwater. A great quantity of
filth was thrown there, which would accumulate in
such a manlier when the tide was out that the stench
would be unbearable. The property-holders also
complained that when the Act of Parliament was
asked for, it was on the understanding that the
crowning should be by a viaduct He believed that
if the Town Council nod known at the time when
the Ace of Parlament was applied for, that it was
the intention of the contractors to cross the Back-
water by an embankment, the CoToratima
would have at once refused, and raised every
objection against the carying out of the Act of
Parliament. A viaduct would have a much better
appearance than an embankment, and would also
allow a continual flow of water both up and down,
like that at present, which was so very desirable.
As far as the Backwater was concerned the works
there had not pmgewsed very far, and if the Council
would agree to his resolution, he thought the necimeary
steps should be promptly taken so that the con-
tractors might not Is i put to any unnecessary expense,
and that they should be requested to carry out a
viaduct in ancoedenco with the Act of ParliameaL
In the event of their refuel, however, he suggested
that application should be made to the Board of
Trade, demanding them to comply with the
Council's request. Mr. W. Thomas *wooded
