TRIM DI Lnrou-soaa,

Mr. A. POP. wished to mention a matter with
regard to the trees in the Linden.rosi As the time
of the year was peening when pruning should be done,
he made application that they should be pruned. The
reason the work had not been don was an Impression
that they were private property. They were planted
on Corporation property, and handed over by Colonel
°bided to the town. Ma trees are, to all bateau sad
purposes, Corponeica property. He therefore asked
that the Surveyor be instructed to see they were pro-
perly pruned before they went too far, and before the
pruning would be detrimental.
Mr. Alderman Hammer supported Mr. Pope's
motion. He believed it was the intention of 0 dosel
Oldlield to top the trees so as to form quite a screen,
and he therefore suggested they should prune the
tress so as to meet his wishes in that nutter. He also
mentioned that some of the trees in the Prince of
Wales'-road had been too sharply pruned, and their
beauty would be spoiled in future years.
Mr. A. POPS, in respect to the trees in the Prince of
Walue•road, which bad bees promoted to the town by
the owners of the Prince of Wities'-road estate, said
they had been most cruelly cut, in fare so badly that
he was afraid they would never recover. The tops had
been entirely lowed off, and he had never men trees
so badly pruned in his life.
Alderman GRAGJIT : In some came the.. is only the
stump lilt.
Mr. Pon: It was never mentioned to me, and was
done entirely without my eandkio.
The Surveyor armed Mr. Pope the wood that had
, been out was quite dead. There had not been • bit of
live wood taken di.
Kr. Pors remarked if the waning had bleu done

1/11 lIDDIMXIIIIETIZ PETITION AGM,.

The ASILITLIT-TOWII CLIM asked how the petition
should be modified to salt the circumstances of
Dorchester.
Mr. A. Porn, reverting to the matter, said be
thought they ought to re consider it before they
signed the petition. The petition stated that the per-
formance of music and dancing prevailed in the
borough of Kidderminster, but he did net think they
could say it prevailed in the borough of Dorchester,
except in the one isolated case spoken of. if. did
not think they could g to this extant at present; the
licensing justices had authority to control or regulate
such magic or dancing.
The MaTott thought Mr. Pope was out of order.
The matter had been settled.
Mr. POPS replied the Town Clerk had slaked how the
petition was to be modified, and be was now speaking
on that. The petition then went on "to render it
penal to permit any musk or dancing upon such
Premises," there would be a very heavy penalty.
Then again—" Obtain license at Quarter Sessions,"
but they had no Borough Quarter Sessions. So it was
not applicable in many way., and he thought they
were out of their depth in carrying much a repolution.
B. thought it aught to be re-considered, in order that
the Town Clerk might have the question answered—
how the petition might be modified. Otherwise, it
must be sent up in its entirety. He therefore moved
—"That it be either sent up in its entirety, or brought
forward again, In order that it might be modified."
It was Agreed to re-consider it, and the meeting
broke up.

Mr. Atreus LOOl moved with reference to the
different leasehold properties belonging to the Cori ore-
tion, that the surveyor be instructed to inspect
them. He made enquiries at one of their meetings
and found that never since the leans had been granted
had the properties been surveyed. It had been found
that when a person had applied for permission to
assign certain property the surveyor impend it, and
found 4 the covenants of the lease had been far from
being carried out. They then properly called eine him
to keep up the covenants. They had • large amount
of different property in the town, and he thought it
very desirable, at any rate where the lease had been
granted for some 20 years, the Surveyor should be
' instructed to inspect the properties and report to the
Countil. &pedally was it desirable that this should
be done where the property WA/ let on lives, because
It was much easier to call upon • pence to repair be-
fore the lease had fallen in than after it had fallen in,
and when the home, might be found in a dilapidated
condition. In another part of the town(in Holy Trinity
Pariah) the churchwarden found it out, not to their
cost fortunately, because the Honourable hire. Ashley
bought the property.
Alderman GittOORT thought It WWI very necessary,
especially in the way of painting. The Surveyor ought to
look around the property, and see the homes were
painted on the outside every three years. If the
property was painted regularly then it would be pre-
served.
Mo. A. H. LOOK moved and Alderman GesoOar
seconded that the dorveyor be instructed to survey the
different leasehold properties belonging to the Corpor-
ation with • view to their being kept in • /Roper
state of repair in accordance with their several knees.
This was carried.

TEI 10•011.

Mr. A. Pore wished to mention the fearfully muddy
and dirty state of the roads, especially in SontioMmet ;
also of doe pavement., particularly of a Sunday morn.
lug. It was most disgraceful, and worse than he over
remembered it. When South-street was under the
control of the Turnpike Authorities it wog in • very
much cleaner condition. During this very dirty
weather not one peony had been spent for cleaning the
emote or for collecting the mud and carting it away.
The Surveyor informed Mr. Pope the roads load
been scraped half-a.dosen times. It wee done only
last week, and twice the week before.
The MATO' supported the Surveyor's statement.
The scavengers were out every morning. Daring this
exceptionally wet seseon it was impoesible to keep
the streets clean.
Alderman Faceog : We must have better things to
repair the roads.
Mr. A. Pore: It had been remarked by people in
the town and out of the town that they had never
seen the town in such a disgraceful state.

Mr. Meer. hairdresser, /to., of Ocushill, made
application for a supply of water for the purpose of
driving his kairdresdag maohine.—Greated.

THE DRAINAGE SCHEME.
A report of an inundation of sewage matter in one
of the large buildings In the town brought up the main
question, and
Mr. Alderman GIUKIORT made complaints of the
serious injory the non-drainage la causing to house
property In Corowaldterram. During the last fort.
ao had had several persons come to him to know
if be had any houses to let. H. had informed them
there were plenty on the Cornwall Estate, and the
reply was directly "But they are badly drained." He
bad told them there were ciess-pite, which, with pure
water brought in, would cause no more harm than
proper sewers. Then they said "But we have been
told by some of the medical men in the town of the
danger of living there," and so they were driven off to
other pleas. During the last fortnight no lens than
three had gone to Weymouth, who would have taken
homes in the Cornwall Estate had they not been
prejudiced with regard to the drape"
Referring to the
tquestionth of acquiring the Load held
by the Barden trus e Asargrarr-Towir Cigar
said he had men Mr. oward on the subject, and he
had had some impresdou that, in consequeeos of the
new Monied* Corporations Act and the new Battled
Estates Act, his clients bad ciermin powers they had
not before. For his part he could not agree with him.
At any rate, Mr. Howard thought his clients would
now entertain a proposal to sell by agreement, pro-
vided the hada of negoolation was the principle of
compulsory lolling, that was to say they should have
the same prim aa if they *old compulsorily. He had
impressed on Mr. Howard to write to bin on the
subject, but be had not yet beard anything from him.
He did not see what else he could do.
Alderman CatOOlty suggested writing to Mr.
Howard, and asking for • reply.
Mr. Arlinni Loge remarked if they could pomibly
come to terma without resorting to the Lands' Clauses
Consolidation Act they would be enabled to purchase
;he land couch more Quickly. Otheryries they would
have to wait till fte preempt -ism= wares Provisional
Order was made. After that there would be an
Inquiry , which would take some time. If Mr. H mord
was under the impression they could deal with it by
agreement, it was advisable to write to him to know
whether he is in • position to dotal with the sale of •
whole or • part of the land. If be could only deal with
the whole, would it not be advisable to buy the whole,
and re-sell what port they did not require?
The AntlisTAWr-ToWII CLIME thought the Council
would not be wise in withdrawing their application.
Mr. A. Pore was opposed to the delay which
would be caused by writing to Mr. Howard.
Dr. ALDRIDOE would impress upon the Council the
Importance .4 moving in this matter, even though they
moved at considerable extra expense than they calcu-
lated upon. Good houses in the Cornwall Edda were
empty on account of the state of the drainage, and
many of the inhabitants living there intended leaving
in consequence of the offensive matter in the rummer
time. It bad been mentioned to him they would not
lire there if it was their own freehold. It we. incum-
bent upon them to see to this at once, and urge the
matter on, even if they met two or three times a week;
but they want on from month to month and from year
to year, and still the thing I'M in abeyance, and
nothing more was done than there was three or four
years beck. They had the powers to obtain an eligible
piece of land from Mr. Myer at reasonable terms, and
he had no doubt they could get the other. He did not
believe they would ultimately be the losers in pur-
chasing the whole, but that rather they would be able
to sell at an advant ors. If they obtained Nilo land they
could move and carry out both the surface and the
deep drainage. He moved "That the Town Clerk
be authorised to offer for the whole of the required
plot of land near Loud's Mill, the sum of ElOO an sore,
being the same amount as the adjoining five acres,
which had been acquired of Mr. Flom, subject to the
approval of the Local Government hoard."
The motion was seconded by Mr. Pore, and carried
unanimously.
Mr. PA./ suggested that Mr. Symonds be ulgud
to press the matter forward with all pomade

think it rather absurd to wend down • man for a simple
thing like thia—it thing that could be done by any
common mechanic as well as possible.
Alderman Loom : I should be wavy not to have
