cattle got into them and damaged the underwood.

BRMPORT LOCAL BOARD.

On Friday last a spectsl meeting of the Load Board
took place, the late Mayor (I'. Collo; Req.) in the
abair; also present. Wmars. H. P. Oundry, Swain, Legg,
R. R. Hotineellj_Steenteid, Lareonibe, J. flonneed
(Reatitreet). Edmunds. R. rudest, pt. N. Con,
Templeatai, 4vsna, &ANTI, Hark C. Tunlear, Wan.g.,
jelforl. nod the Clerk, Kr. F. W. Guidry.
The first business was to naive tenders for stone for
the repair of the melds and higliwars in The borough.
Kr. °Duna said only ose tender bad bees received,
which w front Mr. Jobe Ransford. of Loden, for
Haddon Hill and dskerswell Sint at lie. 3.1. per too.
It was stated that dakemrell glint was the beat of the
two aorta, and that the tender was higher than formerly
gives. Yr. TOWLICII•11 irropmed and Xr. EDMONDS
wooded that the tender be accepted, which wan
carried.

I
The pert business tral to consider the proposition
made by Hr. H. N. Col for out nnifona paving of the
streets. Hr. Coo wished the report of the Paving
Committee to be read Ann, which vu acoordingly d
and it appeared that the coomittos recoinmosded
repairs in FAA-street. from Mr. Matthews to Mr.
Lareambes. In lionthAreeß from Hr. Rumford's to
Mr. !Richland's. In WeetAtreet, in front of Mr.
Corniek's and Yr. 'Fluent* and the pitching near Mr.
Wanley's house. Also In frost of Mrs. White's shop la
South and West-streets. Tbe kwbole amounting to
about £6O or £7O.

bo—tirt-Di.ientarked that the width of the pave-
ment was wider at NOM parts than others, end that
the ooatniittee proposed to repair the pavements at the
different parte to correspond with that adjoining, and
preferring to the lower part of Weertetreet, close to Kr.
blonley's house, Wile!. there wee psehing adjoined, be
said they proposed to repair that part with pitching.
Mr. O. TVCMII mid with that exception be thought
Renton stone had bsen resonamended throughout all
remits
Mr. 4.77lituaz mid it appeared to him if they
adopted that report it would be continuing their present
patrhwork system, they ought to decide whether the
work should be dope in whole or in part, and ehonid
else decide on souse uniform width, they could repa,r
by degrees if they liked, bat some uniform width should
be agre-d to, and sapbalts could be used in some parts if
they thought proper. He would submit that before
they spent any MOTO money On these repairs, they '
should decide on one uniform plan which meld be
either carried out entirely at once, or so mute done
year after year.
Mr. 001 said Hie repairs proposed by the committee
Ibis year were not eatiefactory. They must be aware
that in other parte of the town the pavement was ia a
very bad state, he would eall their attentioa to the state I
It was in between Yr. Gundry's warehouse sod the
Royal Hairline, In Weet-street, INAj -as amp very bod
In various parts of Esat-street and Barrack-eireet If
they continued this piecemeal system, they would have
different persons somplabeing that while the pavement
In front of other bonne had hese repaired, this had not
been, sad it would take more than tereoty yews at that
ate to get the pavement In proper repair. Unless
people had very good shoes on they mild not go about
without vetting wet in their feet,
bge, a madam said the committee went rowed the
town after it bad rained and saw where the peels were
and which wore the word *OM and those were the
places they bad recommeetW to "he repaired.
Kr. COX said be ItaB very sorry WIWI the LOW
Board was first instituted, as prevloonlY rwert WOOD
wee required to repair his own paving, but as that wag
not the es.. now they should are which paviag was best,
and lay down some definite plus and carry it out in •
regular way, whether all at ones, or so mash year after
year. _

COLPOI said they did'nt see their way clear to
make the pavement so uniform as they could wish it
should be, still beshould like some attempt st uniformity
to be made aad should'ot object therefore to this report
belay rel.-eked, and further consideration given to the
asblest. He was not prepared to so Ni. entire length
that Yr. Co. bad suggested, but should be glad to see
some roodUleation o his plea adopted, whisk would, be
tboaght, be very desirable; It would be a pilw therefore
to lay eat coo or £7Ol. repairs, which If siether plea
were adopted would have perhaps to be draw over. &Pia-

shntever the amount might be. should be liid nut .ffitd

matter. . - .

Mr. LEGG said that the £2,000 mtireeted to complete
the re-partuf wet only For. pert of the town.
Mr. cot, in answer to Mr. William*, eatd he had no
definite plan, and if the £2.000 was only a portioa
what would be required, be wu not then prepared ri,es
to *unmet should be done.
Mt WILLIAMS said the town bad bee' surveyed. Led
the amount required was considered to be nyarly to

to be lard out at once, but be thought the repur,,,,,,eek
be done on a uniform system and gradually, till they
had sopronehed perfection no seer no they ormlil. The,

Mr. R. TUCKIR supposed tbo committee in their
report bad gone upon • plan ci making the
uniform he thought they should therefore adopt thyir
report, and that they Deed not go into Kr. Coa's propo.
el ion.

Mr. Witzthme proposed that the report should be
referred beet to the committee to arrange that the
paving sbould be done on an uniform plan.
Mr. C. Varga said the pavement is differeet perm,'
the town weavers bad; it wee difficult to say which was
worst, and the committee thort,tht that wets tb• pools of
water wore thould be done first. The num they had re-
ported to that meeting was that if their report was adopt-4
tenders might be obtained to do the work before the
winter Came on, as if the matter wee adjourned they
would be obliged to delay the repairs till the spring.
Mr. WILLSAMS did not think they would be obliged
to do that, as the report might be adjourned for a short
time, and they aould then meet again eery soon.
Mr. CoLruz salted Mr. F. W. Bendry when the
Board eoasabanard re-paving the town.
Mr. I•CiliDith said in March, 1862, and an average of
about £6O per year had been laid out.
Mr. TiMPLILII•111 said £BO had been voted last year,
and nothing doom with IL
. .

_
Mr. WILLIAMS aid the whole was not expended,
booooos Kr. Cox's proposition had bees 'taught( over,
and it wee not desirable to lay oat money till that vas
settled, self that was carried, some of tb• work might
' have bed to be done over again. Some of the mooey
was, be believed, laid out, but not *IL
Mr. Jim:menu would be sorry to reveal • report o
committee being received, bat his proposition was th.t
before any money was specks dearth* and uniform system
should be appointed for Gosh 'treed, and • certs.a
width agreed on. It might be one width at one part and
different at others., but it was most desirable Lad he
thought the Local Board should agree to see each driest if
an uniform width through tbe whole of that street, and
paved of an uniform material, whether it was &splash,'
or any other kind of pavement.
Mr. WILLIAMS thought hie proposition was the same
as Mr. Hogeeell'a. .

It was by ta
ember.that the committee be
—;;Iii;;*;d-
-allowed to eoetreet to bees the work deo'.

Mr. WILLIAMS then proposed and Mr. H. E. Horarirth
seeonded "that the report of the paving committee be
referred beck toll. eommittee, with a request that they
will alter it so no to imam uniformity in all repairs
which shall be made in the paving, and that the coal-
mines be empowered to obtain tender. sod have the
work done without coming to the Board."
Mr. KIMUSIMI enquired if they wished tr, alter the
pavement if good ; for instance if it was twelve feet
wide and adjoining it was only nine, would they tsar
that op sod make it mina
Mr. Col and others said it would only be altered
when pavements arm bed and required repairing, the
pawing would not be touched where it was good.
Mr. STIMBRIDGI, no • member of the committee, said
wherever they bad laid down paving. it bed been very
good and was likely to last for many years, sod they
bad endeavoured to make it uniform. He thought
they should go on no they bad already, sod Dicke the
pavement no uniform as they could with the adjoining
pavement.
Mr. Coe eequind what was done with the old state
of the pavement.
Mr. WILLIAMS said they always use the old material
an math se poseible, in repairing the pavement, and it
was also used in repairing lb. roads.
The motion was then earned.
. . _

Mr. Couol proposed that Mr. Mounted' and Mr. Cor
should be added to the Parisi Committee. He thought
it very deeirahle they should, as those gentleman's
services would he most valuable. . .

Yr. C etoona;d—it, end it was carried.
Yr. Hormaum, jocosely remarked to NIL Cox that
their Magmas were now Mod, and Mr. Colfox laughingly
said their wee nothing like potting the opposition lino
the ministry to stop their oppositims, bet be did sot
propose it for that purpose._
