MR. HAWKNILIVII REPORT.

The next business was ti confirm the resolution passed
it the last committee meeting to transmit a copy of Mr.
Hawke.ley's report on the drainage ot the borough to the
Local 0 ivernment Board.
Mr. Roams suggested that the health rate of the
borough Ghoul' accompany it. This, he thought, was
most important, because it contrasted most favourably
with any other watering place In Ragland. There had
li.wn a grout deal of odium thrown upon them which they
did not deserve, whereas, instead of odium, they ought to
have been regarded as one of the safest health resorts in
Eugland. The health rate here had been one of the lowest
of all the watering places in England, and if that was the
case the public health had not sutfered; it was a very
important thing the B iard should know they had been
cailld upon banter into this subject, because occasionally,
and under eertain circumstances, there had been smells
which Mr. Ilawkealey admitted be could not prevent If
they were called upon to carry out the works proposed the
c• st would amount to a rate of It 61 in the E.

Hr. WeLitga : I think as the Board may have to deal
with us it would not be amiss if we were to send • copy
of each report furnished by the several engineers we have
had, and call upon the Board to say whiolz of them we
should carry out.
The OHAIRSAR : The Booed will not shift the responsi•
bili ty.
Mr. Warta : No, but it would place us in a better
position, for amongst all these "doctors" disagreeing bow
Is it possible for us to decide,
Mr. LotraLL: We seem to be unanimous upon the Point
we are healthy. £26.000 is no mmn figure, and which
means £30,090. Then there is £lOOO • year for working
expenses, which, with ths 40,000 borrowed, represents a
capital of A*70,000. If Mr. Rawkesley could have recom-
mended a plan which would have cost £lO,OOO or £lll,OOO,
I should go with you and say perhaps it is the best thing,
but after we have carried out this plea we are given to
understand it will OYU/ VII the als.ahtiatat al6eve one

satisfied to pay year after year an increasing amount for
clearing away seaweed above the dam, because the dam is
erected thirst I don't think they will Independent of
tLat, there is tbe working expenditure.
The enaluiAx (interrupting): We teeny cannot go into
that now.
Mr. Lutist'. : But it is is question of great moment.
The CHAIRMAN: When the proper time comes we will
discuss it.
Mr. Lovgi.t. : It Ic every serious question, and I don't
wish to oppose you, who have started this drainage system
of Sir John Goode, and would like to complete it, but
really—
The CHAIRMAN, again interrupting, threatened to leave
the chair, if Mr. Lovell did not desist. The question was
whether they would confirm the proposition of the com-
mittee that th6llo reports of Mr. Hawkwiley and Dr.
Corficl.l, with tha health rate of the town for the last
seven years, be sent also.
All agreed to this with the exception of Mr. Lovell and
Mr. Willis.
