for 20 days' hard labour.

Alderman REYNOLDS thought when he made the state-
I meat that the other part had been previously done.
In answer to Alderman WILLIRms, the SURYEYOR said
one-half of the road was in the Highway Board District
and the other in the Local Beard District : it was on the
borough side that the land had been taken, with the
exception of near the Pytitore-lane, where some of Mr.
Broadley's land been used.
Mr. 11. N. Cox asked if the lane was the borough
boundary ; lie hardly thought it Mita,
fhe Town CLERK said he believed it constituted the
boundary between the I'y:wire-road and the Bradpole-
road.
Alderman WILLIAMS asked if the improvements had
been. male in the Local Board District were they not
le-ally reston,itile fur the expenses incurred?
'Mr. 11. N. Cox thought they were morally responsible,
at any rate, for a portion of the extra expense that had
been incurred; the season had been a very had one, and
extra outlay had been the consequence. The Highway
Board had calculated on receiving sue subscriptions
which they had not received' the works had cost more
than was expected, and Cue Highway Board now asked
them to bear • portion of that cwt.
Mr. J. P. Strrrit.s.: The improvements cost .11)1 more
than was anticipated.
In answer to Alderman REYNOLDS, Mr. C. EDMUNDS
said the borough of Bridport FY not represented at the
Highway Board.
The SuRNEVOR said the Highway Board had not fixed
any definite sum, but as they thought the road hail been
much improved, and was touch MIMI by the inhabitants
of Bri.lport, it was nothing but right that they should pay
part of the extra cost.
Mr. It. N. lox: Mr. J. T. Stephens said the coal was of
no use to the North Mills—who, then, is it of use to?
Mr. T. 11. Epee:die said the present read from the
North Mills was not very convenient, as it led away from
the new road.
The Suarevos said at any rate the whole of the hauling
between the North Mills and the station went over the
new road; and, in answer to Alderman Williabei. he
stated that the owners of those wills had not coutributed
anything towards it.
Alderman 11xeeohns: Mr. Steplienx nail the road was
of no use to the North Mills—that they did not we it.
The SURVEYOR said ever since the road had been
improved, with the exception of about a week when the
weather was very had, it hail been used by the North
Mills constantly. All the coal from the station for the
use of the mills was taken that way.
Mr. H. N. Cox: I was told that Mr. Stephens himself
was over the road only yesterday. Persons in the town,
seeing what is stated in the local papers, say it is absurd
to state that the North Mills do not use the road, as their
waggons go that way nearly every day.
Mr. E. Cox did not think it just to call upon the rate-
payers to pay for a road that was only for the benetit of a
few individuals.
Mr. E. LOGGIN : It lutist be remembered that if beat y
leads were not taken that way they would have to come
throinth the streets of the town, whereby the road would
be worn and danlageal, and for the repair of which the
ratepayers would have to pay.
Ti'. sr-eves-ea said he h 4.1 not used No much stone
about she road between 1C town •ed the statba decline
the past winter"as formerly, in consequence of some of
the traffic going over the new road—that had been a
saving to the ratepayers.
Mr. J. Musson said as the road appeared to be an
advantage, and WU used by the inhabitants of the
borough, he should be pleased to propose that this Board
contribute £l5 in addition to the EY,. already Liven.
Mr. T. H. EDMUNDS, believing that the road was much
used by the people of the town as • favourite walk and
that the extra expenditure had been necessary, had much
pleasure in seconding Mr. I)unhant's proposition.
Mr. F. Cox said he should second the motion proposed
by Alderman Reynolds—that the application be net enter-
tamed.
On being put to the meeting only Alderman Reynolds
and Mr. E. Cox held up their hands against Mr. Duuham's
pnosition, which was therefore carried.
"Die Marva said that was all the business arising out of
the minutes.

Heliport. June 11, 1875.
The li:twat-Ina said about :10 persons, besides those who
visited the publiehousa, used the one acre 11111 l mlation on
the premises behind the Rare and II uunds. There was
plenty of room for other accommodation. These 31/ persons
lived in
_six or seven houses. . . . . . .

The Dlssog said they must bear in mind the drainage
and the water works were being carried out; and they
hoped ere long that these closets would be done away with
and that water-closets would be substituted. If increased
accommodation Wag made there would it be able to be
turned into a water-closet when the water was in the
town. _ .

The INsegeroa said the same vault as was there now
would do, and a new drain would pass very close thereto;
he hoped these %Inane would be done away with altogether
when we had the water.
...... . . .

The MAYOR ViII it be necesaary• to refer the subject to
the Sanitary Committee
Alderman WILLIAMS: Certainly not : let us at once act
on our medical °dicer's report; he reports that extra
accommodation is needed, 'and the Sanitary Committee
have no occasion to go into the matter. I consider notice
ahould be at once served that the accommodation be
provided.
Mr. H. N. COY quite agreed with the remarks of Mr.
Williams. . . . . .

..
The MATOI said he had merely aaked the question to
elicit the opinion of that Board, as there were some in the
town who thought their medical offiner rather arbitrary.
For himself, he considered he should have more power
even than lie had, and he ahould be always anxious to
strengthen his hands by the voice of the Board—Blew,
. .

Mr. H. N. Cox propose.' "That the necessary steps be
taken by the Town Clerk to have the nuisance abated."
and this was unanimously carried.

. . .

The Tow:I CLERK sMd notice.i,;i7een served, and the
homes had been whitewashed, but there was no closet
accommodation._ .

In answer to Alderman WILLIAMS and others, the IS-
SPIICTOR sand the house would .lo if there wax closet
accommodation • he thought the rooms were healthy now
they had been wintewaahed. There was no mpace at the
back at all, and no accommodation uf any kind, or was
there room to build any ; the inmatm %sere dependent on
their neighbouro for accommodation, lie believed that
was the reason the medical °liner had reported that the
bonne* were not fit for human habitation.
. . . .

Alderman WILLIAMS said such a place ought not to have
been allowed to be erected.
The Tow• Ci.llit said it would not be allowed in these
days.
In reply to further questions, the INsrEcrou vai,l no
owner could be found, and Hopkins was paying no rent,
he bad let a part, however, and was receiving rent for that
portion—(laughter). Mrs. Legg, the former owner, was
dead; her son could not be found, and • daughter was in
the workhouse. The cleansing of the premises had been
carried out by Hopkins—he had done the whitewashing
himself, and had had the lime given to him,
Alderman ItrrNotre4 thought that as no owner could be
found. the Local Board had the power to shut up the
premixes, if they were not fit for human habitation.
Mr. T. H. EDMUNDS considered that lloNcins had
rendered himself liable to snake the required improve-
manta, as he had been taking rent for a port of the
pretnisea
Ultimately, on the proposition of Mr. 11. N. Cog, the
Town Clerk was instructed to take what steps he
I considered best to enforce the providing proper aecom-
I tuodation.
