TH-II FOOTPATH OH PORDINGTON HILL.
Mr. Herr stated that a post on this footpath bad been
broken off between wind and wider, and is actually hang-
ing over, obstructing the footpath. He suggested
immediate repair.
But it was thought the footpath. tn. were in such
bad state that thorough repairs must be dose there.
The Inspector (Mr. Chick) reported various small mule-
ances.
Applications were made for water supply, among others
by Kr. W. Tilley, to houses in Orchard-street.
The Surveyor reported that the Weymouth-road improve-
meats had been carried out &wordieg to instructions, and
raked whether the Board wished the footpath* covered
with red gravel, and an iron fence placed against the foot
paths. Hs also mentioned other matters, mostly of
Bpaprrn. asked what the met of the Weymouth-
road improvemeet has been up to the present time I
Mr. GaLrui remarked this subject wee not on the paper,
and is the Ward had so much to get through, that twitter
should be deferred.
The whole matter wee referred to the General Purposes
C..mmittee.
It was proposed to remove the old Waterworks' boilers
to the Fair Ground, at an expense of ,C 5 ; but it was
resolved that • more convenient place in the woe pounds
might be found, and most of the expense be saved.

the put of Mr. It Pope, Mr. Gregory, Mr. Davis, and him-
self, that it had been agreed to set back their permanent
fences from the line, so as to make • footway about live
feet wide in the clear, between each of the trees and the
farms.
General satisfaction warn expressed with this offer; Mr.
OALPIN elicited that the OWOHII moon leaving the
additional work on the extra foot to be done by the
Council; but Mr. (ULM acknowledged the owners' oar
is most Shorel and desirable. Here will now be 32 feet
between the fences on each side, instead of 30 feet as
originally set out, with two Tows of tress awl
Mr. Pops, on behalf of himself and the other owners,
said they would be quite wittiest to sign any memorandum
to make the matter binding. For himself, he would have
been very pleased to give up two feet' but one of the
owner, would not agree' he had some difficulty in getting
Mr. Davis to agree to the one foot.
A hope was, however, expressed that 18 inches might
be obtaloed instead of the foot, and the matter was left
over for final arrangements.
COINWALL-10AD.
A Mr. Salisbury, an inhabitant of the Great Western'
road, had objected to the payment of the General District
Rate, stating the inhabitants do not participate in the
services for which the rate is chirped; but adding that
when the atmosphere has been rendered "a little pure'
the rates will be paid.
I Mr. Pearce applied for inetructioss saying the inhab-
, Hants complain that thd scavenger's cart does not go there
I as often as they require. About • down of the inhabitants
I had objected to pay the rates; others bad paid.

inhabitants are already allowed exemption of some nem

before summoning those who refuse.
The Local C ..vernment Board had written that they
considered sufficient time had elapsed for the submitting
of plans for the drainage of the town, and requesting they
be aubmitted at as eerily a date as possible.
Colonel Stanley wrote asking when the Corporation will
be able to give a supply of water to Dorchester Barracks!

After the fine weather of late 'eras very tentalleing
that just on the day of thee annual sports the "April

the evening.
The Ann piece oilseed was the amusing farce, " Ici on
Parls Fnuatztig." and the representation would hays done
credit to peofessieuala. Captain Molinaro' was a veritable
" llounaser." and he created roars of laughter in his part
of Victor DAM.. Mr. T. E. B:ephenson also proved him-
self to be • first-class comedian, in the character of Mr.
Spriuins and Major Fitzgerald was exceedingly good as

admirably adapted for the part The minor character of
Dixon was sustained by Mr. T. Stock Of the ladies we

into the merits of the case, and be believed it was a thine

wife and children. He urged upon them to IleelS the

Bro. 11001,111 LL said it afforded him very great pleasure
to return thenks en behalf of the Court It was
ago last March that the Court was alerted at the AT::
IMO, Commercial-road, and since then it had largely
increased in numbers. It started with about 12 or 14
members, and now they had good on the books about 5156
antacid members, with eleven honorary members, includ-
ing both the borough members. After paying nearly £3OO
in sickness during the year, they had accumulated a sum
of 411100 odd. Rs was sorry to my that this year up to the
present time their sink list had been very heavy, and not
only had they bad to pay • large amount in sickness, but
their mediae' oMoer had had a tremendous lot of work to
do. Brine weeks there had been no lest than Merck mem
hers on their books, hut he was happy to say they had been
able to inset their liabilities, and until last week dm/ had
not been obliged to encroach upon their capital. Last
week they were compelled to draw 11510 from this bank, but
he hoped that very soon they would be able to replace
that, and another 1193 with it. (Rear, hear.) Their sick-
ness was getting better, and they had now not more than
five or six sick members, both in the town sal out. He
hoped Chat state of things would continue, and
Lb. doctor would have lees to do, the secre-
tary would have fewer cheques to make out,
and the trimmer would have less to pia4Au
and more to Ps/ into the bank. (Applause) With r
to the Ord chum of the Poor Law Amendment Act, he
was domed to hear there was a prospect of its being
brought forward in the new Parliament. He trusted that
"blessed clause" would be repealed for it was, be main-
tained, • disgrace to the Statute Book of England. (Hear,
hear.) In oonclusion he again thanked them for the
manner in which they had received the toast coupled
with his name, and he trusted that while be continued to
