The Tow. Cimut reed ibe report of the Land Committee
with reference to certain repairs required to be done to the
Quay, as follows:
Your Committee have examined the Ballast Quay walls,
and flnd 34 piles are required to replace dramyed old ones; and
they have also examined the buildings and Quay premises
formerly occupied by Main. Wanthill. and they find that the
buildings are In a dilapidated state, and that • portim of the
Quay wadi.; have fallen out into the Harbour. Your committee
recommend that the buildings and the Quay walls should be
forthwith repaired, as repairs are absolutely neeled for the
umintemonv of the buildings and Quay walla.
The MATOK Said it was indispen•able thu repairs should be
done.
Mr &rose wondered they hadn't been done before; they
were wanted very badly.
Some outiversation owned al to the repairs of the building':
and It was proposed that the Lorou;ii surveyor make a spode-
cativo, and that tenders be adv‘rtleal for.
Mr Itruiss &eke I ii that resolution would meet their require-
ments? Rifore, they had had the tinders and afterwarda found
Limy imuld du the work cheaper themselves.
The 11•4014 thought a very important principle was involved
whether the corporation ought to undertake their own affairs.
Mr Kam.- eaten summed in any tam they would be
executed under the supervision of the Surveyor.
Mr Cearts proposed, and Mr Haritrox seconded, that the
Borough Sun eyor wake the nocemary specific-Won, to be
laid before the Committee who should again report to the
Council,
AGAIN.

"81r,- I an, directed by the Local Govemnient board to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th Wt., return-
ing the dealt of the new by -laws proposed to be made by the
Town ea' wird! of the Borough of Poole
" The board have given their careful attention to them, and
return them with their observations, upon the amendments
which the Town Council had made. They think it right to
observe that the table of thicknesses now made will be found
very serviceable in the Borough, so far a. it goes; but it can-
not be considered as securing stability In building of all classes.
However, probably We 'town Council may be eatisfloil with the
extent to which they have undertaken to regulate buildings
ordinarily erected ill the Borough.
" The Board must, however, retnark that they are advised
that the thicknemes specified in the table are not sulficient for
stone or rubble walls, ill which the buds of masonry are not
laid horizontally. In any such cases the thicknesses should be
increased by et least one-third.

Mr. ktooaas submitted plans of certain alterations proposed
at the ahnahouees in Churchatreet causing a alight deviation
In the right of way ; and proposed that such alteration be
permitted, the lance, he said, having no objection.
Mr. brraixe thought It ought to be acceded to—it didn't at
all affect them ; and be seconded the proposition.
A short discussion ensued ; and ultimately
The Maros said he thought the matter wee not regularly
before the Council, auti that it could not be decided until their
next mooing. There could be nu objection to the improvement
and there need be no unnecemary delay.
The subject thereupon ilnippod.
The Council then proceoded with the busload of the
BOARD Or FILILTLI.

-- the town praised ita cleanliness a sea port : why ie jt
that during the past summer the same prompt measures
have not been adapted I Whatever may have caused the
neglect, the result is clear.
We have written the nlnve with no idea of alarming.
the public, or of tuaking ourselves a '' greater nuisance
than any of which we are complaining." Dr. Ellis, how.
ever, will probably think otherwise, for, feeling aggrieved,
he has written • tnu itil letter which, as far as information
goes, is moat untrustworthy. Surely when a Medical
Officer of Health wishes to conciliate or confute the
"public alarmist," be should he side to write less doubt-
fully than as far as he can learn" to what extent fever
remains amongst its. ir. Ablenuan Rogers also desires
to lessen any uneasines that may have 'been created ;
and with commendable pains has tabulated the death-rate
of the town, which, as far as it goes, will be accepted as
satisfactory evidence of the healthiness nf Poole; but
these figures fail to disprove our assertion that its streets
and alleys are in a filthy stain, or that during the past
month a vast amount of sickness had exi.ted, and is at
the present time preva/ent. It was reserved, however
for the Town Clerk to substantiate all that we have sant
on the subject. Mr. Dickinson says frankly—" There
have been difficulties in getting our bye-laws: if you
blame anybody, don't lay it at the door of the local
authorities here; it is the fault of the How-Not-to-Do-It
Department in Whitehall, and to their dilly-dallying and
red-tapeism you must attribute the helpless incaility
of your own Board of Health, and its racers, to do their
duty." This, in effect, is what Mr. Dickinson told the
Town Council on Priblay, and it will he received as a
complete answer to our complaint that the necessary
Sanitary work required in the town has sot hers th...
We consider, therefore, the public had a right to grumble
and that the Press has only done its fluty in reflecting
the opinion of the town on • matter which admits of no
bungling either here or in London. By so doing it has
been the means of relieving our own authorities from
apparent Mame, and placing the subject in a proper
light, which is all we have sought to do.
