. . ..... .....
.% letter was read from the Great Western Railway
C inspany stating that the Company had had under

aeked whether, if the stirs ice between their system

THE #AKBOUR

%It. LOVELL asked the Council to consider the hest
way .01 dealing with the dredger HOW that the harbour
fund wa,i neduceel. After lurking a lengthy statement
he moved :—" That the harbour account having been
reduced from f:1,600 to ELMO per annum, and the ex-
petteliture upon harbour works having considerably
increasowl in respect to thee extension and stnongthening
of the quay, lee., and the reducosl income being in.
sufficient to meet the demands, it is expedient to stop
all tinneceeisary expenses, and that as there is sufficient
water in the harbour the use of the dredger be dis-
continued, and the work lon,, by hand labour, which
will raise sufficient ballast for the requiretnents of the
port at it profit instead e of a loss.
Thee Marini : The proposition is contradictory to
the resolution we have just passed in favour of meet-
ing di., miuirements of the Great Western Railway
Company.
%Ir. I. WELL: will willingly assist them, but
nothing is said :dwelt more water being wanted.
The proposition was seconded by Mr. Walla.
.tlelernian ilowagto advised Mr. Lovell to let the
matter stand ewer until the next meeting, and Mr.
%Vt.:Le:vont) d.ireel him to withdraw it.
The latter course was ultimately adopted.
