To tips Moyer, Aldermen, and Town Cocoon of the
borough of Weymouth sad Melsombe Eqpist
tbe undersigned, costars and se-
eastern in do Park Estabe, Mweby eater our earnest
soups against your Mterfarsaco with the present Park
dralaage any shape or form, of in any part thereof,
or with the outlet thereof, union II be to carry tho
sewage away from th• outlet prowl', Imams. it is
priest. property, no you and your eltrk have
said, and further beams* it (the Park itstst7reidJ
sod suffloisatly desisted already, and we shalleags toy
loyal proof to the contrary.
We also offor the following objections to the proposed
whom* of Sir Jobs for dralsiag the Park.
lat. Wo object to your right to, and i e the Ptak,
until you have given this nottos preerribed by ths Ast
24 and 25 Viot,, o. 61, eon. 5, which you have net delta
(The Act requires three months notes, )
2n4. We object to lb. 'shows boosts@ it does not
Garry the drainage through the striate as it angst
td o.

3rd. We object to the scheme, beanie it is wasteful,
destruotive, end ruinous to privet. property.
4th. We object to the scheme because the ralelag of
the levels at the end of Walpole-street, wad surest the
Dorchea•er rood, will prevent the drsioiag of the Kush
or Meadow belonging to the Johnstue Estate, and
thee create e lugs peed of etageaat "retie', ram making
an abominable millrace, ruinous to health, se it will
be for worse than tho ditehes were in. la the meadow
which we bra gush diffioulty with the Town Outwit to
get them filled up. (laid meadow Is now drained into
the puniest York sewers.)
Mk. We object to the scheme became the New
sewers are not to be curried through the streets bet ore
to be carried through private building plots, and the
Board must know that these lots will be rained by sash
a scheme, insomuch is no owner awn build over •
publia sewer.
6:b. We object to the *chews became of its absurdity
and ineomistencry. air John Coode says It Is not ridlit
to miry drains under the houses, end yet in this very
gramme he previous to sorry the sewage of a number of
boozes under a house in Walpolerarraea, this atultity •
leg himself.
7th. We object to the scheme, because Sir Jobe says
that 36 botum will require the floors and roofs of their
out-homes raised, end these houses have been label,
built, have been well and sefilalectly drained, and Boob
a scheme will be nothing less than • wholesale and
wanton destruction of private property, beading putting
the Sun of these house. under water In the winter
rain. (end this for unitary Improvements).
Bth. We individually and eollectively object to hay-
ing oar neighbours' moorage brought sorer our book
yards, when we hove good end sullillwit sewers already
in the street,, and have been and are now draining into
them.

---
Oat. We object to the icherae bemuse it is absurd,
Inasmuch as it proposes to drain houses up hill. ti.e.
from Walpole-street up Into Oreseent-street. Sir John
Coode mye "The northorn end of the Park will be
esparataly drained and imams:tad with the present
drain in Cresoeut-street" (thus draining ephill).
Nib. We objmit to the scheme, because it is making
poor men do what the member' of the Corporation, and
Woe-tenths of thc owners of homier in Weymouth and
Noloombe Regie him not done (that is, take op the
drains under their homes, whial now ran Irma their
backyards Into the street in front, and instead carry
them from one backyard to another through • row of
20 house. as is intended in the Park, thus carrylog a
treat Labiate" across prmsto propiorty, which the Board
had no debt to do).
11th. We otjeet to the 'clime, because air John
says that tho gradients in the Park will be 1 in 200
sad Ila 300. while in Hope Square it is ono in 1,000,
