situations—one at the b Atom of High It tetetreet, one
in No, thomiime, and the other in the West Walks,
immediately at the rear id the Junction Hotel.

to erect these conveuiences in so smell • town as
theirs. It would net something like £lOO, and It wee
Important they should eaves. much money as pomade.

injudicious selection of the 'Regions. The one pro-
posed near the Walks would be depreciating the value
of the property there fully 50 per omit.

they misted; but fully admitted they should not
stein one near the Walks, as it would greatly damage
house property.

leaving the one in the Walks for future consideration.
