The CatlllltY, sl.o leughing, said dsat would reel with
the vestry themselree. Last time there were five or six

ward the aPid,eation for that purpose to tbe Government
Board.
. . . .

—TIM.CRAIIIIIIAS said his impression was that it Was pro-
posed to lay toe Moss at the bottom or the ditch to carry
off the sewage, and leave the ditch open to carry off the
surface water. That eighth reason as ts carrying deer
water 700 ft. below low water mark spoke of what was not
in the plan. It wee a choice between carrying the sewage
700 feet out into the 11% and filtering it., and the filter was
proposed in order to do away with carrying It out 700 feet.
Mr. Gsozos Roseau: Are we compelled by the Lmal
Government Board to cirain our parish at nil I He also
asked if the report had been received from Captain
Hildyerd : hut
The enariugan • hated no: The inspector would pm oh
his report to tee L ,cal Government Board.
The ILICTOR untamed that he hehsved the io.pactor
would einem!, report mainst making a apecial drainage
district A strong gmolution like that beheld would have
very great weight ags,nst the scheme.
Mr. LOSZLI. hoped the emolution would be carried
unanimously. Lueit meeting the luepector asked if any
one wee in favour of it, and there was not one.
Mr. STARK seconded the resolution.
• Mr. ROIDALS, milked whether it would not be necemary
, for the vestry to sign ill
The Cltallaia said it would be sufficient for the chair-
man to sign the resolution on behalf of the veet-y ; but if
tea, wished he would put • ropy of the resolution where
It could be drawl. He continued that reason about earn-
ing clear water 700 ft. into the sea, not being in the plan,
was s decidedly weak link.
Mr. LOVELL said mid the plan bad been bidden away
under the Board at Weymoutii, and brought for ward with-
out the knowledge of he ratoparern .
The Commix put the resolution, and it was carried
unanimously.
Ilt STARA proposed. and Mr. Kairllla seconded that
the resolution he signed by the Chairman on behalf of the
meeting and for carded to the Local Government Board.
Carried.

Mr. LOYSLL believed the plan wee carried at the meet-
ing of the Rural Sanitary Autholty at a time when Yr.
Stone. one of their Guardian., was away for • holiday, and
he mired Mr. John Baunton, the other Guardian, to elate
what he knew of the plan.
Mr. J. BeWITON said it would be a great mistake were
he to enter Wm detail a, t th• c vase of the drainage
scheme living brought for or I. 110 wished to act in con-
cert with thenotelves, that tie scheme which could
be easily torn, by the lawn •yrrs ehould be adopted. lite
most desirable that good dre nage and water cur ply should
he provided, or damage wool i h., engendered, and on the
Rural Sanitary Authority would fall the blame. Every
ratepayer was conectione nf tit., complaint made, and that
something must be done . tiir the past two yeare they had
been war •ing it off; but the I,tettar had been so pressed on
the Board that they were were forced to take action; but
be, as one of the Guardien.. should be ready to support
the scheme that would be attended with the least expellee,
sokns.m it would give astis'atttion. . .

_
LOVZI.I wished the Guardians to poet the Parish up
u to what was going to he doe; they should call a meet-
ing sad inform the principal ratepayer.; but they were
kept In the dark. The r.tepeyers might sometimes ha
able to help the Guardians with ides..
Mr. Baunvoti explained the .C 1.750 required could be
borrowed at • low per untie., say 3 or ai per cent., and
that would be • very small charge on each ratepayer. The
Guardians could not adopts echeme unless it was approved
by the Board above.
Mr. Loveu. returned, the ratepayer. complain their
cue was not properly represent id to the Local Government
Board._

iii:BAUKTON did not think they could say that. Such
sums u £2,000 and .0,001.1 hal been named, and such large
outlay be should oppose.
As to the clause referring to an application for the forma-
tion of a Local Board for Wyke, Kr. Lorgu. proposed
that the application be made, remarking the ratepayers
contsad their money has been so foolishly dealt with that
they would like to hays knowledge of the spending of
Weir Own money.
&Malin seconded.

. KIJULIDOI proposed that no Local Board be applied
for. It wouid be a mums of more expense be the parish

Mr. JAXICII ROOM'S seconded, arid on • division, there
appeared • majority againat the Local Board for Wyke, 36
being against ; but On the caber side only one hand was
held up.
The vestry was closed with a vote of thanks to the
actor.
