Tows COONOII.—The Council, as the local authority
I under the Public Health dot, ht,ld an adjourned meet-
ing on Monday, the Meyer in the ehalr. The ohmf
business was to &wide as to a proposei increase in the
Isla:lea of the officers, to aproint an Inspector of
nuisances, and to again oonsid.r the question of provid•
Mg a hospital for lofvotloaa di,oases. The Town
Clork (Mr. W. H. Dickinson) read the following roport,
which wa• screed to:— . . . . .

- Your Committee have considered the salaries paid to the
various officers under the Public If caltb Act, 1072, and they
an of opinion that the duties which are to be performed by
the Surveyor are very onerous, and that the present salary of
LSO is not an adequate compensation for the services ho has
to perform, and they would therefore recommend that the
salary of the borough Surveyor should be increased to £lOO
per annnin.
The Secretary of State having recently issued a circular
Intimating that the employment of police-officers, as inspectors
of nuisances would not after the Slit December lost he
recognised by the Secretary of State as a 'once duty, and that
the appointment of any member t 4 the pol,co force of any
borough in the manner stated would disqualify him, after the
date quoted, from the govenunent grant in aid of pollee
expenses, the appointment of the superintendent of Pollee as
Inspector of Nuisances is therefore necessarily vacated. Your
committee unanimously recommend that the -urveyor of the
borough should be appointed Inspector of Nuisances for the
borough and port for one year, from the lit day of January,
1070, in addition to his present appointment of Surveyor
under the powers of the Act, and that his salary should be
£2O tra• annum.
Your Committee are of opinion that the Town Clerk la also
Inadequately remuneratel for the duties imposed upon hint
under thy Public Health Act, 1872, and they would therefore
tee mend that the Tenni Clerk's salary under the l'ublic
Health Act, 1072, should In increased to £6O per annum.
Ths waist noon was as toUnws:—
Your Committee have considered the report of the Medical
Officer of Health in fanner of a floating hospital, and which
appears to be based upon the assumption that a floating hospital
I, preferred bemuse it can be placed nor enough to the town as
tube may of acmes, and fir enough away to prevent the spread
of infection. Your commatoe however, are f opinion that ifs
stationary hospital could be erected upon a site combining
both theme considerations it would be more acceptable to
patients. With these sieve, therefore, they have been in com-
munication with Mr. Pyno as the steward of Sir Ivor Cme.t,
Bart., to take a lease of apiece of land about MI perches, near
the present Powder-house which appear to your committee to
meet the requirements of die Medical cilia:sof Health's report,
and have received a reply from Mr. lyre, offering to let the
quantity required for Is. per perch, for an absolute term of 90
yie.rs ; and your Committee would submit the same for the
consideration of the COLIICii and would recommend that the
offer be accepted • but per Committee are not prepared with
estimates for its e'rection. _ . .

again brought up, and sentee.ced to two months hard labour.
There were • large number of fishermen In Court, and
Alderman lers, g)dressing them, sald the magistrates bad
read • ruermal they had presented to them asking the Bench
to order the repayment to them of the money they had fwid
for licenses to dredge oysters. He regretted that there was
not a larger attendance of magistrates that day, as It wanim-
possible that Mr. Hamilton awl himself could decide the matter.
He believed Mr. Harker, who had not now a seat on the Bench,
as hb year of office as ex-Mayor had expired, and Mr. Stone
were the magistrates who granted the licenses, and It 1r0111(1
be desirable that Mr. Stone should Inc present when the matter
was decided. The memorial would therefore stand over till
Thursday next.
