TOWN Couxeue—On Tuesday evening the Mayor
(Mr. Job liatratt, presided at the quarterly-meeting
of the above Council)—His Worsnip, reterring to
the commuuieation he had to make, said Nether-
ton people would look upon the abandonment of
the Old Hill tramways as a calatnit3e—(hear, hear).
The question of a Chamber of Commerce was still
occupying his attention, and during the present
month he intended to . move the matter—(hear,
hear). He was still considering the matter of the
town approaches, and had to congratulate the town
• on the settlement of the School Board election.—
The Market and Fairs Committee showed an in-
crease in the collection of tolls, and recommended
an increase in the Trains of the collector.—The re-
port was adopted.—The death-rate of the borough
was 2913 per 1,030; and the town waa free from
small-pox. It was shown that negotiations were
going on for land fur the widening of the ap-
proach to the Dudley South Side Station (Great
Western Railway).—lu answer to a question as to
the likelihood of this better state of things, the
Mayor admitted the cropping up of many diffi-
cult iss, but believed they would be surmounted
promptly. The Sewerage Committee's report
showed that the Dudley Arms Hotel was to be. re-
paired, and that Mr. Jevons, the contractor, had
tendered to do the work for £l2O. The committee
recommended the acceptance of the ten:ler without
prejudice.—Alderman Wright complained of the
want of drainagein the Mamble, a place which
would be specially benefited by the work.—After a
discussion the report was adopted, on the Mayor's
assurance t 3 Mr. Wright that the question should
be discussed at the next committee meeting.—lt
was shown that other persons than the present
contractor for the deep drainage might make con-
nections between private houses and the main
sewer, and the existing drains where good might
be utilised,—Alderman Wainwright complained of
an iutolerable nuisance which had arisen from the
manner in which the contractor had made the
connection with his house. The waste water from
his sculleries. (tee had been passed into the soft
water cistern and the house rendered uninhabitable.
He moved that the Sewerage Committee make
such arrangement as would ensure perfect c ,n-
-nection. To do this the Borough Surveyor ought
to personally see the work done.—This resolution
was carried unanimously, after more than one
complaint h:kd lyeen made by members of. the
Council. —Alderman Wainwfight then made a
personal statement as to his share of the buiiness
relating to the proposed alteration at St. Eimund's
Churchyard. He held that it was the law at no
fait of conse:..n.ted ground could beused for secular
purposes.-The Mayor said the taking dome* of a
portion of the yard would be a public improvement
and lawyers differed as to whether it mighebe done
or not.—The Tow!' Clerk was not so certain as
eldLenien Wainwright.—This was the whole of
the business.
