WAREHAM.
LOCAL BOA= 0! FlZALTH.—Formerly the Board of
Guardians was the local sanitary authority in this
borough, but, after the passing of the lut denitary Aot
it was thooght the town wee too large to be under their
jurisdiction, end, on the advise of Dr. Home, V.C.,
who visited Worsham and Scans's, the Local °ovens-
mend Aot, 1858, was adopted. The election of mem-
bers to form the Local Board will shortly take place.
Fifteen oaadidates are nominated, nine being tbe num-
ber to be elected. AS the Aral nine were jointly nomi-
nated, via, Mears. J. H. Bans, H. J, Penton, T.
Randall, F. Manhellsay, BC. Beet, S. &meet', J.
S. Drew, J. Bennett, and R. J. Mushallesy. In their
address they esy—"Slould we have the honour of
being skated Italian be our enieavonr to carry oat the
duties devolving upon as In • satisfactory manner. We
are opposed to any expensive outlay of money for the
perposes of the Act, belleviog the same to be noel-
usury. Oa the other band, knowing what Improve-
literate are reqaired. we shell be prepared to exorcise In
an uonotnical manner the power. delegated to the
Board. We will st,,,atly oppcse Underground Sewers
and Waterworks, at the expense of the ratepayers.
Two days later there were 110011iDitod Megan.
W. J. Pike, Freeland Filliter, C. Wiliam:, J. A.
Penton, C. tielby, and J. Trenobard, who say—
"We beg to assure you, that if elicited, we will en-
deavour to tarry out the duties entailed on us by such
election, in • ooaselentlons m , haviag due regard
to economy and the best Interests of the ratepayers.
We are of opinion that any expensive system of Under-
ground Drainage or Water Bappiy is wholly unsuited to
the means of • Town like Wareham." Oa the face of
It there sums but little differenee between the two
addressee ; but closer examination shows that while
the nine oppose is toto sewerage and water works befog
provided by the Local Board, the live simply deprecate
an expensive system ; so tbat the question seems I.
be between earryiag on the sanitary inspestloa of the
town In • similar manner to that which bas hitherto
obtained, or taking possibly • step In advance and
getting a cheap and uonomical system of drainage sad
water supply. Each party has been actively canvassing,
and a Moss contact is expiated. The elution will be
by voting pavers as for the Board of oaardiass. There
are about 300 voter., inoludiog ladies, and each voter
ham nine Totem.
