H•SBOUR MASTER'S WORT.

The MATOI read the Harbour liarter's report, the
sum and substanee of whiels was that a poet, driven in
to support the Quay well near Mr. Damen e stores had
been loose a long while, sod that it was almost a
miracle that the wall had not been thrust into the
harbour at that place by the heavily laden carriages on
the tramway.
Mr. POTBECART thonilit the report ought to be
framed and glazed, as it wee the drat, for some
years past, that made no siltation to the Harbour
light. (laughter.)
The subject wee referred to the harbour committee.

COIPONATION EXCHEQUER.
The TOWN Cl.lll rid that no one had offered to
lend the £1,500 due to Mr. Weldon'', trustees at .C 4 per
cent per annum. Mr. Hopkins offered to lead the
money at 5 per eerie., and sines then, two or three
others bad made similar offers.
Mr. THOMAS thought they thould try to !pi the
moue, oo bc.b terms they could.
The MAYOR said he would communicate with Mr.
Hopkins to aseertain if he would lend the money at a
lower rate than 5 per cent.
Mr. MAUNDERS thought that Ai the Corporation re-
quired money' it would be desirable to ASCOriaill from
the ...veers of houses in York Buildings on what terms
they would nu-render their leers% on the Council con-
senting to renew those leases for an additional term of
75 years.
Mr. POTHECART said that Mr. Milled", bad already
brought the question forward, but it had fallen through.
Mr. Dem was surprised not to see a notice of the
motion on the agenda paper. He himself meant to
bring the que.tion forward at this meeting, and went to
the Town Clerk's office for the purpose, and it was
taken down.
Mr. POTHECABY asked why the lessees of Yolk
Buildings should he consulted in the matter. Why not
extend the inquiry to all the other property belonging
to the l'ouncil
Mr. Hawaii° objected to wandering into matters not
on the agenda paper. It was the very thing that kept
members from their meetings, as they said three or four
hours were spent in talking about VAriool nutters, while
the whole business of the meeting might be does In
