Alderman Howard 'aid that hla letter read at the hat
Council meetimy appeared to have been misunderstood.
It lammed to be thought that he cat for compelling
every occupier to conneet with the main drains, bet he
asked for eertaln information, seeing the greet oulay
made, and till he got that be was not decided
one way or another. Bet it seemed to him that at the
present time the system they adopted worked rather
uolnstly to • portion of the inhabitant', for some had
the convenience of the public sewers while others bad to
pay periodically for tbe cleansing of their carpools, yet
all were alike rated. He thought it ought to be known
that the Connell were prepared to entertain applications
for the draining of other parts of the town than those
now provided with main sewer".
In reply to Mr. Howard, the Town Clerk rid £2,000
was borrowed, at 5 per cent., in two mums. One of
£1,500, for certain work", principally for repairing the
pavements, sod £5OO for the patellas' of the Eagle
Tavern; and a portion of the principal was pald off
every year.
Mr. Pothecary thought they ought to have no more
hesitation ma to their course in regard to the drainage:
they had provided mowers, and had plenty of rates to
pay for it, and they ought to make all amnion within
rings sonata with them. A resolstioa to that efhet
was passed at the last meeting and let it be thoroughly
carried out.

The Mayor Bawl that Mr. Beaman had been engaged
abot.t that and other works, and many of the houses
were now in warm of being connected.
