The WATOR continuing. said for this il 000 oorrowed
in Ilitlo-2.1 years ago they had paid Azio per year
which amounted to abo'nt ht in the Z.

The TOWN CLERK said till/ WA./ all • OCW matter to
him; if the Mayor bad coladesconded to consult him
he nhould gladly have ekes' the information needed.
The MAYON replied if an apology was due to the
Town Clerk he would gladly proffer it but he merely
aaked • ample question of the Treaaiiry Commissione a,
which had made them bring out many facts not
known to the majority before.
Councillor Srawaat thought if the debt was con•
tracksl on condition of repayment it waa the duty of
the Council to see it done.
Councillor P. A. BAINES argued the debt should
be paid off if issoilble, even if they had to pay • little
more in the rateo.

Alderman L.terassex reminded the Council that
the railway company owed £Z.iO of the debt.
The maws remarked if the W.:, they received
• yearly from the railway company fur antere,t Wa, WIC
aside to wipe off the debt, it would he done in time
without increaGingthe rates. The 1:2,00il was expended
for building the Corn Exchange, and the odd t3OO for
the police-station and weighbridge ; the latter costing
£2O, and was bringing in an income of upwards of
f:2O a year, remarkably good interest.
Alt-mu some further discussion. Mr. P. A. I.l.tii_xim
proposed that application be made to the proper
authorities, bearing the Corporate seal, asking for
iufunnatim on what terms the loan oh 000 can be
obtained of the Public Works Commissioner, repayable
in 30 years.
This was seconded by Alderman L.twaxxcx and
Ca.

Aidertnall DCRIMN called attention to the state of
the Town Hall, which he said requir.d cleaning. It
was last cleaned and painted iu 1e77 at a cost of
The Corn Exchange also needed a thorough renova-
tion. This was acquiesced in generally, but one or
two inembersthought the Corn Exchange might remain
for some little time yet, as it wou.d entail an expense
of 170 or DAL
. . . _

Ultimately -Councillor Aesorr proposed that tenders
be invited for painting, varnishing, and thoroughly
clean rig the Town Hall and staircase.
This was seconded by Mr J. J. Liam. and carried.
The TOWN CLERK remarked he thought the County
Court ought to pry soinething for the use of t e hall.
They gave a good sum about 20 years ago.
In answer to members why an annual charge was
not made similar to the County Justices, Mr. Smimrg
replied there was an Act of Parliament which gave
power to the Conn. y Court to use Town HMIs when
Dot otherwise engaged.
The NIATOR produced an application from the Lord
Mayor of London towards the National Ta.timonial
to tieneral Gordon, and each member present sub-
scribed his name and gave a sinall donation.
The MAWR next in the name of Sir Talbot Baker,
invited the whole of the members of the Corporation
to Hanaton House on the 2th of May, that being the
hi-centenary anniversary of Ityve's aliimhouse.
chant:. It was intended t u whole of the inivates
should be present at Hanston, and entertained by
Sir Talbot.
