rate are £3BO.
The MATOI earl they were indebted to Mr. R bons
for his exhaustive rep mid he proposed it be
adopted.
Mr. Blown asked ho • ill./ intended to economise
In the future and keep the rates down? He thought
their weekly expenditure—the men engaged by the
surveyor—should be restricted to the lowmt necessary
sum; there should also not be put upon the ratepayers
the legal expenses which were incurred, and whiat
some said were Deem ary, but he cousidered un-
necessary and not right. Ttlell, again, the D-ep 'ce-
ments under the Board di i not bear their proper
reeponelbilitiee, and he thought all reqoirecaent,
sbou:d be brought before • c iiumittee, an I the
order given by that committee, and not by an Allow,.
The role as to work catrolsg en outlay of over £.5,
should be done only by Moder WWI not curried out,
and he thought this decision also should be adhered
to. AA to the Finance Committee, it was formed for
weekly expenditure, but work was paid for before any
one knew anything about it. No -bill should be paid
until signed by a committee or the C ouncll, and he
thought a big being paid after being signed simply by
oaa member was metal,.
The lilaroe said he thought Mr. Brown having
gone into the matter would have suggests 1 some
practical means of reducing the rates. Da thought
there was an a:Mara/ant xpenditare as to the police
foros, and he lied desired the Watch Commit'se to be
called together when the annual inspection to .1; place
to go into the mutter with the Inspector.
Alderman IiOWAILD sail hiving regard to the size
of the borough, could Mr. Rohm. tell him bow much
they paid in the rates in the for the surveyor's men?
Was It 31. or 4d. ?
Mr. Roams reterred to the Surveyor for an answer,
saying the object he had in .1-w was that the first
start must be a fair start. The reason why these
rates had been so heavy was on Doc mot of the serrate..
If they started with a clean balance sheet they would
then see what they °lull! do.
The Surveyor said the total met In his department
for drains. reeds, and palings was—drains, £77 118.31.;
roads, £133 64. 11d. ; paving., £35 131. 21., being a
little more than lid. in the C.
The Mayes: Besides them items a weekly bill of
about 15 for labour is paid.
The Surveyor said the mein road. per mile coat
£9l 12.. 41., and the borough roads £9 fie.
Alderman HOWARD asked how they stood in cont.
Initial, with other towns.
The Surveyor odd in the Shoehorne district the
expenditure was £179 15.. 4 1.. the material. coding
94. 61. a yard; Wareham. £135 7s. 41., mat,rlals ;
