T.,W14 COUNCIL. —A meeting of this body was held
on Monday. and there were present the Mayor
((ouncillor G. Curtis). Alderman J. Buckley, and
Councillors A. I.l4lston, W. N. Western, Id. T.
Trevanion, W. 1). W. Mate, J. Gifford, and
R. Aldridge—A letter was ;read from Mr. W. H.
Brixey. the le.see of the in srkete and fairs, offering to
rent the same for two year. I niger on the same ternas
as before viz., £42 iieranuoin, provided that the Council
would allow him 25 c c ,inpensation for the difficulty
he bel experience.l i c dieoting the toile.—The
appiicatiou was n..t entert .ined, and it was decided to
advertise for tenders —The next business was to con.
eider whether sppli tiou should be made to the Public
Works Loan Commis don f re loan of £2,000 to carry
out the improvements in the Ladies' Walking Field
and at the B rough Gaol, the surveyor having esti-
mated the cost of the former at LIMO and
the cost of the latter at £BOO. It was necessary
to mike the a;,plication before the end of the
month, or it would be delayed for twelve month'. Mr.
Trevanion said the B 'rough Gaol had already cost the
Council £B5O, and he did not think they would be
justified in expending £BOO in converting the building
Into public offices. The improvement in the Ladies'
Walking Field was absolutely necessary, and
he proposed that applicston be made for the £1,200
only.—Mr. Mate seconded the proposition that the
£BOO be omitted from the application.—Mr. Balaton
proposed, as an amendment, that application be made
for the £l,OOO and said if they borrowed that sum at
four per cent. for a numb o. of years, it would not be
felt by anybody.--Mr. Western, in seconding the
amendment, said if the application for 22,000 was
granted they would not ho obliged to have the whole
sum.—The amendment was carried by seven to two.—
In accordance with • circular from the Horne Office,
the Council decided to exoend £5 51. in purchasing an
instrument for testing petroleum, the temperature of
which has been reduced to 73 degrees.—The necessity
of providing • proper oil store for the town was mooted
by the Mayor and ex- Ntayor, but nothing was done.—
The Railway Committe recommended the Council to
memorialise the South•Westem Company for addl.
Donal trains from Bournemouth to Wimborne In
connection with the 350 p.m. up train and the ILB
p.m. mail trio, and suggested that the Bournemouth
Commissioners should be requested to memorialise the
Company to the same effect. —Mr. Trevaaion propped
the adoption of the memorial, with the additional
request that a carriage should be placed on the goods
train leaving Wimborne for Bournemouth about four
p m.—Aldlermal Buckley seconded the proposition,
which WY carried. —ln answer to the ex• Mayor. the
Town Clerk said he had heard nothing from America
relative to the Charmbury bequest since he sent out
the power of attorney, and Mr. Wisdom suggested
that Mr. Dickinson should write for information.
