The Sorveyor called the attontion of the Council to the
elate of the roof of tha Corn Exchange and Market House.
The MITOIL said he went op on the roof with Mr.
Thomas • few days ago, and found there wee one put
very bad indeed. The nails were out and the slates falling.
He suggested that the cheapest way would be to re-cover
that part entirely; it would be the least expense. The
paint was also very bad, in tome places having been wcgo
quilt..

Tutus— err &eked if they had thrown over the idea of
erecUnKa euperintendent's bones on the roof
The MiTOl: I don't think it la altogether impracticable,
but it is • etrY exlemete• scheme*
Kr. Itosurrrr remelted they might as well take up and
decide that question first, and then if It we. given up
entirely_decide on the repairs to the roof.

scheme, requiring heavy iron girders to carry the house,

most desirable to have the superintendent's house close to
the station.

they were in treety at the present time It wee very war
, the police-station and adjoining corPorettee leforty, and
bethought it wadi not unlikely they would get
