THE RAILWAY ACCOMMODATION.

Mr. Baows next referred to this subject, and said a
resolution bad been passed by the Council upon that
subject. A public meeting had been called, and •
ci,mmittos formed, but they had heard of nothing
Bios& It had been deoided at that cocain; that
• new and independent line was absolutely
necessary. He then went on to point out
various cilsadvantatree under which the town was
now labouring. He pointed out that at other
watering places facilities were afforded for ex-
=sionista, who wished t remain longer to pay about
111 per oeut. more on their ticket and remain. In
Weymouth no each facility was afforded, They had
some reason to feel aggrievei that when any exhibition
was going on, such as the Fl.berian Exhibition. peopin
in other towns had facilitioe for getting up to Lorton
sooner and cheaper, but such ler not granted to Wey-
mouth. Those who took an interest in this port would
know that the general trade of the port had gone
down to • considerable extent Tras knew that
Bridgwater and Bristol had better railway facilities
than tide port. His then pointed oat at length the
difference In tariff for grain, timber, and coals between
Weymouth and other towns, as compared with
Bridgwater and Bristol, and the lams time they would
find they had to pay 60 pee omit more than other
places, which showed that it was impossible to
compote as a port with Bristol and Bridgwater. It
would he impossible to deal with this question unless
they combined together and laid the matter before
the public. If they could not get what
they wanted from the railway companies, they
could appeal to the Railway Commission who would
arbitrate between the public and the nillway com-
panies. He *unstirred it demanded their very airbus
and immediate consideration. He moved "That this
Council, acting as • committee, be called opoo to act
immediately in regard to bettor railway communica-
tion.

SD. DENNIS had very great plea ore in seconding
Mr. Brown's resolution. Mr. Brown had given them
a few facts as regards the goods' trtio ; he could
speak of the passenger. He found that leaving Way-
month by the feat train at 10.15 am., one got to Mau-
cheater at 8.40 in the evening. He honed that there
was • delay .4 000 boor at Wimborne, and, taking the
whole journey, a saving of mere bout and a tudf could
be effected. Then, again, if ladies and children want
to go to Buurnem nith they could get Into a
at Derby for themselves and to right to Bourn=tir,
' but there was no each facility for Weymouth.
Mr. ATLESBUILY snide short time since the Bourne-
mouth people rot them a splendid example. They had
to pay a heavier amount for goods than they In Wey.

way company, and they got it remedied. U. thought
they should move in a similar manner.
Mr. WWI said he was talking to a gentlemen that
morning who said that all be had to pay from Your
mouth to Exeter was 21s. a ton, whilst front Yar-
mouth to Weymouth, only about half the distance, he
sad to pay 42e. per ton.
The hiatus said he had been in communication
with Mr. Templegnan and others on this matter, and
there was no doubt the charges were emoseedve.
Mr. .Brown's resolution was then carried WWll-
mouldy.
