Dr. Tigard's report was read se follows :
" Gantlemen,-1 beg to oresetst to You, IcAlur el, half-
yearly report on the health of Weymouth and Helmuth.

much pi.seure to be able to assure you that the "smith
of the Borough continues to he most eathdactnry, the
death.ate forth. half-yea ending March net, 1171 being
at the rate 16.16 per 1 000 per =um only, whilst the
birth-rate exceeded 12 per annum per 1,00001 the Muds-
tioe. The death-rata from rotdemic diseases has been
virtually 1.44 only one death having occurred during the
half-year, and that as a scbrwam of marlatine I think
I ought to call your attention to the immunity we allot
from "Pulmonary Owssumption." the present death-rate
from which ,s but two per 1 000 per annum of the
population. This is a treat fact, and in my OPiaol2 Mem"

I bag again (as I have dose is Dome previous reports) to

advised a more frequent sweeping sad cleaning of the
roads. _ . _

Mr. Vickery Ira' also called in, and, with regard to
the an.II, he answered Mr. Dennis that he had been
all round the town at the time of the smell, and to the
gas works. The smell. he believed, arose from the
gee works, and not from the drainage ; but be dii not
think it his duty to report, ss the nuisance did not
arise within his district.

Mr. D =NIS also qnestioned the surveyor who stated
be believed the nuisance on the 4th and sth June
woes from the gas w ,rk.s
Mr. D. 3111111 continued that some decided step ought
to be taken to prevent the recurrence of the nuisance,
for such a nuisance ought never to be allowed is the
town again. He went further than Sir John Coode,
end believed that the town ought to be placed ab
all ettspitn on every score. He concluded by
moving. 'That this. Board, whilst desirous of air ,rd..
log to public companies every facility for carrying on
their 1-einste business. believing that an intolerable
nuisance has c quad to the town been the manufacture
of certain products at the One Works, hereby instinct
the T..vett Clerk (should a recurrence of such nuisance
take piece) to Institute such proceedings against the
directors of the Weymouth Consumers' Clam Company

inspect the works, and ascertain i anything is dons

smell arose from the Gee works, the mammy ought to
pay the exoerees.
Mr. How lin could not tell how the smell could arise
from the Use Works, as he knew a great deal ahout
Gaa W.A., and could not conceive bow the smell
could arise from thence.

Gas Company, who a•• m deeply interested s. any In

detailed the 10901 1.5 he bad made at the Gm Works,
