Ezehange would be the some site as the present one.
Mr. ENBOII Only one-half of the present is
available.
Mr. OALPIN referred to a oonvenation which be
had with two or three gentlemen on Saturday week,
on thY subject of ths proposed new Corn Escheat's,
(one of whom wee Mr. Fowler, of Wbitchuroh,) who
mid great care mast he taken to have such a aloe one
as they bad at Ithindford, and that that one was
double the size .4 the Esonsuge in this town, and
another gentleman .ad it was treble. The Mae of
the Hlandford Escbanos WAS 76 feet by 35, whilst
their's was 00 by 30. He urged upon the Council
that whatever they did to do it eflioiently, so that
they might not be called upon to make a still greater
outlay bemuse there was not sufficient accom-
modation for the market. Ele hoped they
would agree on one point, and that was that
they should go to work and endeavour to see the
sizes of the various Corn Hschangcs throughout the

country.
Mr. Comm remarked that be did not agree with
the clause in the report of the Committee which re.
commended that the site of the present Exchange
should be preserved for market purposes. He would
move thtt the report be entered upon the minutes,
protesting against that clause.
Mr. ANDREWS objected to this course, because it
would tie the endeavours of the Committee. Whet
be and the Council wanted was the best accommoda-
tion at the least expense.
Mr. HOMER, in the course of some observations,
observed that he thought the investigatim by the
Committee of other market gime was very valuable
one, and he was of opinion that still further inves-
tigation would be highly desirable, because the COrn.
mines would go into many matters which had not
hitherto been touched upon,and which comprehended
inch • large and 'stenose improvement as they
would all rejoice to see.
Mr. Arrnaswa said if he could understand that
the Council would be free, and that the object was
to have the beet spot at the smallest price, he would
withdraw his motion.
The Marou said the Council had begun at the
point the Committee bad. They had heard Mr.
Eames various propositions, which had been discussed
and considered in detail, and the result of that die.
cession and consideration was the unanimous adop-
tion of the resolution which be bad before him. At
that discussion the suggeellon was approved of
that, if possible, the pretest its should be retained,!
end not only retained, but that there should be caw
siderable extensions, not only to meet present
wants, but for the future • and therefor. it was
necessary to consider the matter in that large view,
and not be too hasty in potting up a building of
the same size as the present Exchange, aid which,
judging from the program which the market was
making, would be inadequate for the wants of times
parties attending it. Mr. User bad said that he
received an offer of 150 alitar for the ground rent
of the Exchange, but their preempt income was
£BO, so that if the Council were to give up the
income which they received from that part of the
ball they would be losers to • large extent. He
contended that Mr. Emior's scheme was • fallacy.
His worship then read the following resolution
whicli was pined at the meeting of the oommittee :
That • recommendation be reported to the
Council to nominate a sub.oormnittes for the purpose
of airertaining the practicability of obtaining addi-
tional specs for the Corn Market and other
purposes, contiguous to the present Etch iage,
in
order that the improvement desired might be
effectually carried out, and that they be authorised
to ascertain the accommodation provided at the
most modern market places."
After some further observations, the following
resolution, proposed by Mr. Ensor, and seconded by
Mr. Deventsh, was carried unanimously :
"That so ranch of the report be adopted as recall-
mends the appointment of • special Committee, and
that such Committee do consist of the Mayor,
Aldermen Coombs, Gal pin , and Eimor ; and
Councillors Andrews, Hodges, and Devenisb, and
that such Committee be empowered to make inquiries
whether the object can be beet obtained by an
enlargement or addition to the present site, or
bozzedquir,ing • new site, and what site may be

Mr. Bsiterrr thought the time was now arrived
when the toll question ought to be settled.
The Mayon thought that must be °moldered as a
distinct qmstion.
Mr. ALDMIDOI °moldered that the committee
were almost pledged to settle the question at their
last meeting. lt had been a long tune in abeyance,
sad he thought it ought to be settled.
Mr. Gowns remarked that the question of tolls
mould not affect the Corn Exchange.
Mr. ALDILIDGI said it would be very unwise
te embark in any outlay until the toll question wee
osithed, and proposed an amendment to the effect
"that no views be received for the purpose of increas-
ing the present market amonimoclatien till the toll
question be finally settled." The ameodment, how-
ever, met with DO support, and Mr. Aldridge with-
drew it.

THE DORMER TEND&

The MAYOR ;;:d the following notice, pima by
Mr. Andrews on the agenda pmar :—" That ilia.-
mach as the Council some time sums relaxed their
prior determination to refuge renewals on any of
their property, and to grant renewals for the purpose
of applying the earns to be received, and from what
source, towards creating • fund foe building offices,
&C., for the use of the Council, it be adertained
whit sums have been received for renewals, and that
such sums, together with any other SUMS be ad
apart and invested for such building purposes."
Mr. Mammies, having referred at some length to
various resolutions which bad been made and ra
minded for granting reaserals of leases on Corpora.
Jim property to Mrs. Harvey and Mrs. Bennett,
wanted to know what had been done towards in-
vading £l3O paid by the former, and £41:10 by the
latter. The money ought, according to resolution
to have been set apart for • particular purpose, b 4
he found that it bad got into the_general rund. Ind
would soon be frittered away. He did not want to
find fault with what had been done, but be saw ea

vested for the purposes for which the nonral were
granted.
Bane considerable discussion ensued on the staid*

show that the nuns of mosey were to be so set apart.
Daring three years so member of the Connell had asked
U the money was invested, although be had had returns
of the Corporation property, from whisk be could see
whether the sums were invested. He asked if such
aoudad was consistent.
Mr. ALDIIIDOR denied that no member of the Council
had interfered &boat the money. He had often spoken
about it, and on eirs occasion referred to the feet that
the money wes to he appropriated for the particular
purpose for whisk it was intended. Be escondsd Mr.

Mr. Gauge having expressed dimmest from Mr.
Andrewe's proposition, whisk he doddered was not
fair, proposed a an amendment, "That it is undesirable
to adopt or act on the suggestion made by the Can-
tatas of General Purposes in their report predated to
the Conned on the 10th of June, 1881, for the appropri-
ation to any spetille purposes of the lines for renewals
