he was not in a position to give his opinion thee, but
he had sines made inquiries, and he hoard from him
that Mr. Hawkesley bad bgen engaged with the drainage
of the city of Worcester, with 31,000 inlialsitcata, the
district of Wanatead, and was now draining the town
of Whitehaven. Hades them be had also demised
many other towns. Thinking that he should wept the

eminent cogineer, who bad done more drainage than
any other man In Reglad, and asked him if he mould
nation some competent engineers; he did
so, and 'mooed theme was Mr. Hawkseley's
name, and also that of another, Mr. Lawson,
both of who,. were recommit:ad ht the

thought they had the best information as to the cow-
passim of those gentleman. Mr. Lawson had been
asemiated with Mr. Rawlinson,who bad done more work
than any *neither in the kisgdoin. Mr. Lawson wawa
competat, trust-worthy, safe, holiest, sod moderate in
his charges. They had thess two toothsome before
them. He (Mr. Hare) should also state that as he did
not pt a reply from the Loss) Board in London.
showing the cost of drainage in towns, he on Monday led
wrote to every Lois) Board In England where the
drainage bed Ida earried out, asking them if they

supplyithe nameof the e94iner and *halter the work
had been ouvad out me y. As yet be had not
rithethed many replies, hot those which he had let would
bog of the Board to peruse. The statements were of
the Mart importance, and when the information which
he was laid before the town, he thought it
wotld go a eoluederable way in dispelling the idea
which now prevailed that the drainage would
not cost that enormous sum whirl the
towpspeorle thought. (Hem, hear.) He believed
his information would remove that imaged°. ; and if
oomperisoos were allowed with other towns of about
the name eini, the oat would not be found to be so
much as was anticipated. He knew that Mr Eliot put
ha estimate for draining the town at £20,000,- and he
watt quite justified in putting it at that sum. He (Mr.
Hare), however believed that this drainage would not
oat anything like that sum: Re could only judge by
°dupe Wins ; but, aa compared with other towns of the
same population, and by conothrian with the level of
the town. it appeared that there was no town in Eng.
land of the same also as Weymouth which had cod that
amount. lithe- Board would allow these answer' to be
read they would give the town mush valuable informa-
tion. He believed that either Mr. Lawson or Mr.
Hawkesky would be perfeetly competent, and would be
two of the best men in England to carry out the mittens
of drainage. It load been asoertaised that in those
tarns where the engineers had been hampered and inter-
fered with, and their plans altered, that the drainage
had not resulted with that haat which was the cese
where their pleas were notmeddled with after they bed
been 'entered of, hut had positivelyHa i tted n a
disastesn tte thererdre hoped that if they carried out
this ethatalre they would give their engineer their
greatest support. and allow him, when they had derided
on the seam, and plan, to carry them out. As far as
hie own individual opinion was sonoerned, he would ear
this, that it had been asertaitia also that eberever the
drainage bad bail earthed clut the ratable property had
inerliaa ale-fourth to value, that property had in-
creased 2D per cent., that many lives had been saved,
and that it had ben of the greatest po•siblo benefit to
than places. lie /main expressed a hope that they
would not intere•re nor addle with the works of their
engineer. Whether the present was the tie* for
carrying out the drainage was another question.

gentleman had dories the coon* of his sperob
alluaion JO himself ie one of the Waterworks Compsny,
and be most say that he thought it was impossible to
flnd abetter man than Yr. Hawkeslety to carry out the
drainage of the town. The &Linage, be hoped, not-
withstaading the memorials which bad been got op
from titre to time epeeist it, would be carried out.
sad that soon be sboold hear that thole parties who
had geed the memorial had dens so not from any
feeling of opposition to the drainage bolos married out,
but bad opposed it on the grour d that they considered
that they were going be be charged something very
heavy In the shape of a rote. From the stitementa
made by Mr. Hare, he thought that objection meat fall
to the ground, for they mud be convinced that the
statemetta nude hy that gliollentan were highly
satisfactory. Tbe difficulties of the priment day, so far
as engineering was conorroial, atow smonated to nothing.
In the list which Yr. Han had prodused of towns
being drained, there was no place whore the rates had
ineseited 6d. la the E. If the drainage was carried out
efficiently he thought the ekames were that in all
probab.lity the rates would not mimed the present
amount. The introduction of private cesspools, as
they well knew, bad created nnissaces in every part of
the town, emoting • bad irapreetion everywhere with
regard to the stinking ohmmeter tithe plies. It Iris •
pualtitl fact that a abort time ago a gentlseian in
London went in an eating house there. Al he was at

Yr. POTHIO•IT : I should liked to have heard him.
You must not make matters more serious than they
are

Mr. AtLino replied that It only showed them that
Weymouth did not stand se high in the estimation of
tbe public with reprd to its sweetness as it aught to.
Nature had done wonders for the town, and it was •
mamparatively healthy pleas; but if • 'Mein of drainage
were married net it would give the town seoh • character,
that they would be told that Weymouth WAS oaf of the
most healthy places in the kingdom, and be thought
they might anticipate for the faders of Weymouth
that it would be ate of the ersatest mods as • watering
plain in the kingdom.
Mr. If Minas said the local taxation was the
Ertestand against the drainage ; but there waa •
mostti important ooniiiderstiou than that—the state of
health. That be thought WIN the most important point
to sonsider. A more violent place than Salisbury there
Gadd poi be When the drainage witp commenced there.
Mt. POTNIOOMIT : Worse than Weymouth?
Mr. MILLE:KiIt said he thought mush wore/ ; but since
the town had been drained those men who were most
=against it, were now the beat pleased at the
of the whom' being canted out. Before the
drainage was carried out the mortality was 22 in 1,000,
but now it was only 11. It was most important to
save life; and if they, by smiting odt this schema,
Wald only dose they ought to lay aside retry pecuniary
eourneeretion.

Mr. TROILUS °moldered that the object of the
meeting was only to get in the thin edge of the wedge.
He wished to be thoroughly uoderstood on the wittier,
that he did not bind himself to any scheme laid
down, nor should be hold himself reponeiblie
for anything that might be done unless it
received the fall sanction of the tthra ; and
whenever thet scheme was ready be should move, even
If he stood alone and unsupported, thst it be laid ha.
fore the town, and before it was carried out receive
their full sanction. He knew that something was
opmeary to be doom. He knew from having reeidel so
long in the town, and on semeant of the pelt ion he held,
that frequent complaints were made shoat the drainage,
and he felt bound to give his opinion, whisk was, that
if they wished to study the future welfare of the town
something was necessary to get rid of the cape of com-
plaint, which, if not done, would act prejudicially
spinet the Interests of the town. This, however, could
only be done by some efficient mode, but he should be
opposed to It If it was against the wish of the town.
Mr. Poriandent said be thoroughly andereood the
revolution before the Board, mid did not rise for the
purpose of roping any amendment, because he felt it
wee the duty of the Board to take the initiative, and
remedy all those cloceplaintit. They all approved
of the roeolutiqn as it wot now put ; bat at the seep
time be must follow his Hind, Mt. Thomas, Is declaring
that Ise would not bind himself to anything. but
should wish to have the yoke of the town on the
matter, and if Mr. Flitwkesiey made • report which
would be satisfactory to the town he hoped they
would be unanimous upon it. He did not think there
should be any ill-feeling, or that political feeling at all
bore upon this rut question; bathe was satisfied there
were many nuisances is the town, many of which, he
thought, had bees created by their late eernyor. He
aorthidered they ought to thank Mr. Hare for the great
trouble he had taken for bringing before this Board the
information he bed obtained, but there was no analgoy
beteeen the places he bad named and Weymouth.
The draiings we. • great and momentous gringo° for
the teem and he should support Mr. Hawk.-aley in pre-
forgoes to any 0128 ode, because he was acquaint' I with
the levels of the town. He saw by yeaterdo's
paper that there had been • deputation froin Birming-
ham, Nottingham, Manchester, Derby, Wolverhampton,
Coventry, Preston, and Bath, the whole of these
towns having been drained. Whet was the comm.
gamin They found themselves in • great dilemma.
They went to Fir George Grey to help them. Before
gene to bine they met at the Westminoter Pelee, Hotel,
and came to a resolution "that in the opinion of this
meeting it it neonnary that • Bill should be introduced
into Parliament in the miming session to enable local
euttiorities to deal with and utilise of neap of
their towns and districts so as to prevent the
pollution of riven and streams." Thai repletion
•ppl ad to this Board in the stop they were
about to take. In asking Mr. Hawkeeley, however,
toilithisen his idps as to the probable cost of the
d they weave* dads whet they had done before.
They shed. throws away £BOO in the wetter. If
the drainage could be don* at • fair and tooderste eon,
even thousands beyond the average most, he did not
think the town would bare to pay more than they
were now Plied upon to do. Re did hope that when
Mr. Hawkeiley's porere laid before them there would
not be say member leaking from his plate—no shirking
the Tieetson.
Mr. num) said that in ausesquenee al Mr. Thomas's
remarks he eoneldeved that by sitting sad giving a silent
vote on the question he should almost pledge himself to
support • sanitary Pimp. He was anxious to have
the drainage, but should not like to bind himself to
any particular scheme, or any engineer. He thought it
right that be should make these statements. If the
drainage of the town *mild be carried out satiefeelorily
be felt Pre the pest majority of the ratepayen and
