without altering the wheel or going into any repair°. lle
wanted the Council ti take scene preliminary stelw
towards the disposal of the mill.
Mr. LUNDIC really thought that, until the mill was
fairly in their hands, it would be undesirable to do anl.
thing with it.
Mr. HOWARD supported Mr. Eliot The questions were
—"Aye or No. Should the 7 keep on the mill r' and lie
thought they would all say ' No." The next question was
whether they should lay out anything for repairs, and this
he also opposed.
Mr. ELIOT moved that the Town Clerk take steps to
ofiltailipole Mill liy public auction. .
The MA OH slistreed with Mr. Eliot and Mr. !toward,
and agreed with Mr. Lundie. At the present moment the
property was under a cloud, because, undoubtedly, Mr.
Tate in seeking compensation from the Corporation did
not diminish the damages supposed to be done to the
mill, and he (the Mayor) considered there was far greater
noise about it than there was any necessity for, so they
would go into the market now with the property under •
cloud. There was another question •. If they were going
to deal with that property they must be careful that it
was sold subject to such covenants as were necessary with
respect to the whole property on the Backwater. The
Board were not prepared to pass such a resolution as to
Instruct the Town Clerk to proceed with the sale. The
question WAS raised whether they should keep the mill
in their hands, although he thought it would be the best
' plen to get rid of it. The whole question of the future of
the mill should be referred to Sir John Coode.
Mr. Caaatas asked whether they would be putting
themselves in a false position and allow the mortg•gees to
attach the mill with the rest of the propertel
The MATOR sail: No; the present mortgages were on
certain properties.
Mr. ATI-COWRY supported the Mayor's opinion against
dealing with the mill yet.
It was stated that the tail water might be of some value
ultimately to the town, and it might be wise to keep it in
their own hands.
Mr. THOMAS said Mr. Eliot's motion was quite inoppor-
tune. If the Board were driven to pumping the sewage
it hail been suggested that the using ltadipole stream
instead of a pumping engine might, perhaps, save them
.C. 500 a year. Ile should also like to ascertain the opinions
of persons in the trade abent the mill. It would be most
unwise to sell it at present
Mr. HOWARD thought the mill had been put opts public
suction 'leveret times during the last few years, and all
about it was generally known. Nothing was to be gained
by delay, and they were now in September, and any
person would wish, if he wanted to sell property ~to dispose
of it about this time. An empty mill, if left through
the winter, would receive damage that would much
lessen the value. As to the damage said to have
been done by the dam, he believed that what Mr. '
Tate had said would not damage the mill one iota.
Mr. huckham and others around knew well the value of
the property, and the object with which Mr. Tate made
his statements. But instead of the Town Clerk being
Instructed to take steps for the disposal of the mill, he
mieht he instroeted to prepare conditions of sale. That
would not bind them to sell and it would cause the sub-
ject to come before the next'iuseting. If Mi. Eliot would
allow his motion to be altered thus. he (Mr. Howard)
would second it, and he would then press the Board to

Mr TALfiOT asked would it not he advisable to put the
mill in thorough repair and working order?
Mr. erratum; said Mr. Eliot was perfectly right in
objecting to the Board repairing It; because the buyer
wont.? wish to do what he liked to put the mill in onier.
They might lay out money. and then bidders might say
"You have not done it in the way I should have wished.
Mr. Howson: You have sold the mill, Mr. Charles, two
Of three times!
Mr. CHARLES: Yes, I have sold it three times.
Mr. ELIOT said it was now ten months since the question
of this mill had been brought before the Council, and if
the members had not turned the matter over in their
minds, and considered what should be done with the mill,
all that time, nothing would be gained by their waiting,
even ten months more. If they left It over, the winter
would be lost, further repairs would be necesearl. and •
year's rent would he gone. lie should certainly press the
resolution before the Board.
Mr. Taoists asked whether Sir John had abandoned the
idea that if the Board were driven to pumping sewage, the
mill might be useful?
Mr. ELIOT never heard it supposed or even breathed,
that the property would he useful for that. There was an
idea that it might be used for pumping Mafia's Lake ; hut
he never heard it suggested in connection with a pumping
engine at the Dam.
The MAYOR said very stringent covenants must be put
in, as to the sale of the mill. lie wished the matter to be
referred to Sir John Conde.
Mr. WALKER said there always had been a question
in his mind whether the Board could purchase the mill at
all. Otherwise, he should say, the sooner they got rid of
It the better.
The Marcia replied there was an express provision
enabling the Board to buy watermillis and dams, and also
an express provision that they must he sold. except under
certain circumstances. lie had no objection to the
preparation of conditions, as that would bring the question
before the Board again.
Mr. TXRIng said his objection was still as strong to these
steps being taken immediately. Until the deeds were
signed and the transfer made, the mill was not theirs. The
Roan? ought to have the mill in their own hands; but if
the resolution did not compel the Board to sell, let it pass.
If it involved that, he should oppose it.
Mr. CHARMS should think It a very gond thing to
transfer the mill as soon as possible. If there was a
difficulty shoot the money.
Mr. Etior's proposition was passed as amended :
" hat the Town Clerk be instructed to prepare condi-
tions far the disposal of Ratiipole by public auction."
Parise OFR • SIORTGAOR.
The Marna stated that they had £576 in hand on the
special district rate, and they could therefore pay off 1-1010
or £.510. Quite by accident he met Mr. John Fox, who
had a mortgage of £5lO upon the rate, and asked Mr. Fox
If be would be prepared to take the money without notice
being given. Ile hesitated at first but said he would not
mind taking it, if the Board wanted to pay it off. The
question was whether they should invite tenders: there
were others who held VW°. £BOO, and £700? but with
interest at CQ per cent; it was not very likely they would
accept less than the money.
It NSA resolved—
"That the Town Clerk he instructed to pay off Mr.
John Fox's mortgage on the special district rate, be having
consented to accept the seine with Interest up to the day
of payment only."

ortSMO Tag PLEASURE OARDRNS OS SlanAlk
Mr. flowsitn said that during the time he had the
honour to be Mayor, the pleasure gardens reniaitied open
every Sondes. Viqiat did happen was this: A policeman
was near there, and occasionally he would go in and
walk round the gardens. There was no breaking the
Sabbath, and the simians were much enioy.l bv the 'tool-

believed that now the gardens s.c solf supporting. lie

did see a little child pot her baud and break one Rower.
lie should decidedly say —Let the gardens be opener]. Ile
believed he saw Mr. t'outwillor Ayles there.
Mr. ATLAS said be went round about a quarter or 90
minutes past six, and the Idea struek him that very few
would walk there after the time the plaices of wiwahlp
were op.m. lie found each time about hallos-down
children, awl Ids opinion was that it was not worth while
ti kcee the aAnletis open after half past six.
Mr. linwsal. said the people did not know they were
allowed in; they stool at the gates and looked in, as they
did on other days; but if a notice was put there that
the gardens were open free on Sundays, there would be
many there.
Mr. Avi.ys thought the gates might be closed at li, curl
at half -past six.
The MAtOR sail that what made him speak as he did
WM the fact that Sir Frederick Johnstone had very kindly
thrown open Ids gardens at awl that a number
of ;aside wslkel in those gardens.. He could not see any
difference between walking in Wise gardens and on the
Esplanade. In Mr. Tigard's, AA well as during Mr.
Howard's mayoralty, the gardens were open.
Mr. Ar Lemma hoped the people who resorted there
would have an eye to the children, and prevent them
plucking thg flowers, in fact that the public would book
after their properW.
Mr. WALK/AR perSOTKUIy ANOTTANI but as gentlemen
around were In favour, he did not r,tpese the opening.
It was the small end of the wedge, and rte should come
by-and-bye to Continental Sabbaths.
Mr. ATLEs would like to see • limit.
Mr. I.t:mnr &TO would rather that the gardens be
closed at half-pest six.
Mr. Dowses), however, thought they should leave the
time to the Mayor.
Mr. WALKER said in relation to hit Prederic's gardens,
there was no guarantee that they would remain oven.
Mr. ATIASOURY said if the flowers are destroyed there
was no question but the Board would take the matter in

that any inure harm was done by any individual walking
round those gardens than In their walking round the

It was resolved,
"That the pleasure gardens he opened during the

LETTSRII PROM IBOROUOI AND COVNTT DINBIDS.
The MAYOR informed the Council that he had received
a letter from Mr. Edwards tespecting the resolution
by the Town Council respecting the Naval Cadets'
Mite. The Town Clerk had ale o received replim from
Mr. Portman and Mr. Plover, and he read the replies, as
follow :

" Royal Dorset Yacht Club,

"My dear Mr. blayor,—Ptease wasp', and convey my

Mr. TRO3IAS thought they ought to get up a memorial to
the Lords of the Admiralty, showing the advantages that
Weymouth possesses, so as not to give the Lords of the
Admiralty any excuse for saving that they had had no
advantages shown to them. The sooner this was done the
better; and if in the memorial they should without stat-
ing anything to the detriment of other places. net forth
our own advantage*, it would have • good effect. Ile
knew that Mr. Edwards expected they should do some-
thing of the sort, and give him some ground for future
exertions.
Mr. TALBOT thought at least it could do no harm.
The MAYOR expressed himself to • 'hailer effect. When
Mr. Edwanis was here he suggested something of the
kind; and whatever was done should be in unison with
him.
The matter dropped.
THE PROPOSED NET SITTI.
The next business was to open tenders for the proposed
new stone steps to the Harbour, but it appeared there was
only one, and
The MAYOR put it to the Council whether this should be
opened.
There was considerable speculation to why only one
tender had been sent is, for such a work, when there were
so many contractors in the town capable of doing the
work.
Mr. WEBB thought he knew the reason.
Mr. LUNDIE appealed to him to give the Council an idea
of what the reason was.
, Mr. Winne declined, stating that he might lye mistaken.
Mr. LCBDIT end other members took the opportunity of
saying that the Council always used the utmost fairness,
and invariably accepted the lowest tender, if the person
who sent it was in a position to do the work.
e It was stated that a contractor had said it was of no use
for him to send a tender, because he knew the Council
would not accept it.
Mr. Timms' thought when a per.ou had taken the I
trouble to draw out • tender, they ought to open it, what-
ever others might not have done.
Mr. WEBB said if they opened it, they ought to accept it.
Mr. WALKER remarked it would not be fair to open it
unless they accepted it.
Mr. AYLISS said if they were going to do anything as a
private sp-xulation. they would not proceed on one tender;
the time ought to be extendol to the next meeting.
Mr. CBARLES agreed that if he wanted any work done,
he should expect to have more than one tender ; but if
there were only one, anil he opened it, he should certainly
go on with the person who tendered.
The MAYOR said, supposing all the contractors in the
town put their heads together, and sent in tenders at an
enormous price.—• very unlikely thing, indeed, but just
supposing it- they would not accept that one. Should
they go in now for fresh tenders t
Mr. Ars.= proposed that fresh tenders be invited. A
short advertisement would do it.
Seconded by Mr. CHARLES, and carried.

SUBSOIL DRAINAGE OF THE PARR.
It appeared that the drainage outlets had been examined
and part of the drainage laid open, and it we. found that
the valves did not close properly during certain statu of
the tide, and that a joint was defective.
Mr. 0. LIOT wain initiated a long discussion.
It was proposed to lay open the drains in other touts by
way of seeing if they were properly cemented in other
parts.
The Miro' thought it was absurd for the Board to he
making experiments. They ought to communicate with
their engineer, and let him make the experiments.
It was 2posed by Mr. CHARLIN seconded by Mr.
WALKER. 'That the consideration of Sir John coale's
plans be deferred until the drain in Ranelagb-road has
been exposed in at least six place..."
Doubts were also thrown on the capacity of the DiPes
for the drainage and in order to teat this, it was
Proposed by Mr. SNOOK, seconded by Mr. WALKER,
That the valves at the outlet he closed for the purpose
of a4certaining how long it takes to All the present pipes

Mr. CHARLES uttered a warning aA to the danger; but
the proposition was carried, after Mr. Snook had consulted
