Mr. T1101“11 asked what the tenni oi the agreement
were between the two eoetpesiee, and whether they
were for any definite term?
The Dimroe said that bed received consideration,
and the remit was that the plan for the staging was
before them.

I. Dimes believed the agreement was to be for
five years.
Mr. WALLIII said Mr. Grimm stated he oould not
give anr guarantee, even for six months.
Mr. Wriaroau remarked the only answer from the
Gnat Western Directors was that they did not wish
to answer that question. Could not the Jersey
steamers do without the staghig for the coming
mein, as their traffic, would natarelly be very moth
smaller during the Paris Exhibitiou I
The Tows O.= had mentioned this waiter; but
the answer was that they could not get the accomato-
dation without the erection of a new staging.
Mr. Lovm.i. advocated letting the Jersey steamers
go up into their old birth. and the Cherbourg steamers
come to the present staging.
Mr. (luau= reminder the Council the Harbour
must be deepened before the boats could come here.
Mr. Loma.: moue the present staging for six
months. _

—fine—MaYon understood that all these matters had
been matted, and there was no occasion for any waste
of words or of time. If it was intended to rescind the
resolutions pained, let notios be given of that for the
next meeting; but he came there prepared for business.
Mr. WmAroao said if all the fees to be received
for the h arbour were paid for the staging, then he
believed the Harbour fund would lose that amount
Repressed the question whether the present staging
othM be utilised, then the harbour dues would go to
the harbour fond.
Mr. °Hamm mica whether the plans submitted
this morning were those of the Borough Surveyor, or
with the consent of the Great estern company?
The Town Ow said it was prepared by the
borough surveyor, with the approval of the Great
Western Company.
Mr. Morgan said the present staging was in accord-
ance with the suggestions of Admiral Haskell. It was
not a railway platform, but, landing stage on a level
with the Quay.
Aldonan ELIOT explained that the boats were
coming here on the faith of the staging being made,
and the Harbour deepened.
Alderman HOWARD said the Great Western
Directors would bays been vary happy to have cone
here and found the Quays in a fit state for the new
traffic. He had fifth in the attractions of Weymouth,
and the traffic would bring them into notoriety. He
rPtrithat the plan for e new staging, trubmitted
th
Surveyor, be approved, subject to its being
submitted to and approved by the Great Walborn
Dtrectors.

Mr. ELiOT sepmded.

Mr: iit;;;;o1 looked on thane steamers coming hors
Se but an experiment, and asked what is to become of
the staging supposing the boats are withdrawn. The
Great Western gentlemen would not agree to remain
azznicular time. How was the staging to be
afterwards? With the present one the
Council had to pay £5 per cent. interest on the amount
borrowed for the staging. So long as the staging con-
tinued with anything on it unpaid, there would be
an accumulation of .f. 6 per cent interest on the
amount unpaid.
The Mows Cunt said—only out of the potato
traffic.

Mr: ROBE/II returned that they were told the
staging was to be for the nee of the Council after the
potato traffic, but it was now occupied with various
things by the Jeresy steamers. Hs wished there were
one or two in the to the

Mr. Dawns We are; we have tried to do our
duty.
NASOLB considered an agreement covering all
the points at issue should be entered into.
Mr. Wrusroan moved "Thai the company be
galled upon to remove the staging if required by the
Council, whenever the traffic between this port and
the poet of Cherbourg shall cease."
The Tows Cues thought it would be absurd to ask
the Greet Waders to remove the Corporstion's
Mr. W asked whether the Corporation had
the right to do away with an old eetabliesed flight of
ite'Fr3 Tows Cues said "No doubt of it."
Mr. WILBFORD urged that the Corporation had no
right to erects staging outside the Quay walla.
The Tows Curia had no doubt they could.
Mr. WY.L11,0111) differed on both points.
Mr. Cleanse opposed Mr. Welaford's amandment.
The staging ought to be the property of the Corpora-
doe.

The TOWN CLEM and Mt. HOWAILD said IC would
be the property of the Corporation.
Mr. Rosana believed the Council had very clever
fellows to deal with in the Great Western lawyers,
and he did not with to be done by them.
Mr. Drams considered the councillors who had so
much sympathy with obsolete Acta of Parliament had
not so much sympathy with living commercial
interest,. _

—Mr. Tlderman THonks could not see the absurdity
of the Council protecting their own interora He
remembered the laying down of the tramway on the
Quay. The Great Western would never have
come here if they had been allowed to go
to Portland. A member of Parliament had seen
In the Custom House at Loudon that every
effort had been made by the Great Western directors
to be allowed to take the Jersey steamer traffic even
to Portland. Before the tenders are open for construc-
tion of the work, the conditions on which it was
erected ought to be distinctly stated.
Mr. Alderman KOWA= : Before we have the money
from the Great Western, let us known the terms on
which we have, it and let the Town Clerk lay the plane
before the Council

the new staging in the Harbour for the
of the Chethoure traflic, and now produced by the
Suveyor, be approved of subject to the same bang
submitted to the Great Western Railway Company
for the approval, and subject to such approval being
obtained, that tenders be invited forthwith to carry

the proposed plan be not finally approved till the terms
