The MATOR r-turrod the Council had put forwaid

The Cumaath had fully reliEd on Mr. Fowler being

Mr. Roam thought the meeting tit ul,l not last long if

Mr. PURCH, ILe ells laser, CIUI I 11.1 t, recommend the
Marine l'aire Company to advance money t) take up bonds
for repairing the present pier in thn way now inteadel.
They wanted deg) 1 water. while if they dredged, the
whole structure will come down. He recommend° I a
work to give a perf.ct lan.lifis-placo for goode and
passenger?, and to have a proper depth of water at the
lowest spring tid-s.

The MAYOR pen'od out monies had been advanced for
the present pier, awl the 0 urecil ought to look after the

Here the pi r will limply draw away people to the other
part.

The CHAIRKAII ilid—Mhnll Bright MI pi.r was first fon,
posed opposition existed am ing the Town C mord and the
tababt mts, it was wild it would interfere with the Chain
Pier; but the result was the Council never had to inter-
wee in the management, but all property in Brighton was
benelitted. • certain appearance of rivalry must exist, as
in every instance of impr ivemeet, hut considering the
treat difference in the position of the piers and their
etructure, there war as much diveraitrao could ha in two
things of the Isamu name. " Give and take " will apply
here, and e.en the old structure will gain es touch as it
loses. But no company ought to be asked to make good
any advantage through defect in the old structure.
