THE DRAINAGE scuEmE. .

.......
The General Turposies Ganinittee reported that
they had fuUy considered the expediency of at once
providing for the drainage of the Cornwall Footsie,
and they recommended that the houses is. the estate
be at once connected with the present main sewers of
the town. The cost, which was estimaPsd at MO,
was recommended to be provided for by • special rate,
and that for the purposes of such rate the district to
be so benelltied be declared and formed a special
district under Clause 4 of Seotiou 911 of the Fotolk
Health Act of 11475. The committee further reconi•
mended that such work be commenced forthwith,
and carried out by men in the employ of the Council,
ceder the direction of the Surveyor, and not by con.
rect.

E. J. Day, Medical Oftioer of Health. reported
that a case of typhoid fever had occurred in the
Cornwall Estate, and it was evident that the cesspools
were the cause of the disease. The drainage of the
adjoining vine ran into • cesspool, the original one
having overflown and a smaller one having been made
to receive the overflow some three years ago. The
Borough Surveyor tuvs acoolanied him, and the
place had been disinfected. though there were no
caeca of cholera near be felt it duty to covets the
hope that the Sanitary Authority would connect the
drainage of the two villas in question and the rest at
the Cornwall Estate with the main with as little
delay as possible.
Mr. BcaNirrr said at the meeting of the General
Purposes Committee he inovs4 the resolution now
before them, and he now ruse to n,ove die adoption
of the report, because he was sure that after the
complaints of the resdenta of the district, and after
the reports that were flying about as to the siokneas
existing there, it was their duty to allow this crying
evil to remain no longer. There was no doubt that
under the Public Health Act they had ample pawns
to convert the estate into a separate district, also to
make • separate assessment, and that out of the rate
under that assessment they could repay any money
they might require for the purpose of carrying out the
work. After the letter from Mr. Day it was im-
perative that they should not loan a single day in
aointisetiog the sewers of that distriot, and therefore
he had greet plea/ere in moving the adoption of the
re and also that 14e work be commenced, if
possible, even within the 24 hours. (4t the request
of Mr. A. Lock, Mr. Burnett read the setting of the
Public Health Act bearing on the subject, from which
it appeared clear that the authority has the power
mentioned to make the estate a special district for the
purposes named.)
Alderman emus What will you du with Mr.
. Boaster : I don't think we have any right to
consult private interests The public good is to be
thltiplit of before that. . . .

-dix"ZsT-Sir. Floyees can hardly be termed
private interests.
Mr. Bunsurr believed Mr. Plover wouldl to the last
man in the world to raise any ob'ection.
The Mires mad when Carey IMP holding
his enquiry, Mr. Neave, who had often agitated the
vocation of tke drains" asked the Inspector whether
grainagoof tbe Gunman Estate imuki be done at
after we as. Anted kits kAter be lull received
from Mr.
aztionviseßly, he latirpg wept's' to that
gentlemen ponnasion to COMIC< the estate. In
Mat IsMes Mr, said be had nothing whalers,

to do with it, and could not interfere ta any way.
Mr. F. LOCI( : He has interfered hitherto.
Mr. Bransrr said this question had base going on
ever since 14.10, and it is w.. now quite time, with
dhows staring them in the face, that they should
settle it.

11r. F. 1/3CI( Why should it not be drained as well
as other parts of the town?
air. Poe. enquired from what rates the inhabitants
of the Cornwall Estate were now exempt ; and the
Asittgragx•Tows Mang replied the only rate they
were exempted fmm was for the reptymeat of the f.ht
1.24 raised for the purposes of theoriginal draining of
the town—a rate of 61 in the C. Mr. Symonds
further explained this loan would he pail MY in ten
yrers.
Mr. DAVIS seconded the resolution that the drainage
of the Cornwall Estate he com.neucvid AL once, and
that it be declared a ileptrate district.
The Mayo. agreed it was very desirable something
should be done, especially as they hod a came of fever,
and be warm weather was coming on. They 'night
get cholera in England, and therefore it was, he
thonght, their duty to do soinethint toward, the
drainage of this Estate. With regard ta. connectint
further liiillitiga with the intim ...went, they hit been
doing it for several years, awl holism hv.l peon c n•
n.,ct,d four times the number of those on the (7er n
wall Ketate.

Mr. POPP Raid he agreed with Mr. Ito-nett a. ta
necemity. and the immediate nem-mite, el draining-the
Cornwall Kstat..; tint con.idering that the inhabitants
of that di.triet had contributed toward. the whole
of the local and di.trict rate. with the wiceptien of
a very old loan which WAR new alinowlni,l off, he ilia
did not think they might to be called upon to pi), the
whole of this CIO £lOO. He did not know if
they quite nwilised the burdens that they were put-
ting upon them. Considering, a. ho ha said, they
contributed towards the other rate., it would lw
rather An unfair leirdon to ask them to pay this. He
only hoped the Council wool.] aoe their way to carry-
ing mit thew. tirain-gre work. iturriedint,ly, withnut
potting thew. undue hurlenA upon the inhabitante of
thiesmall district._ . . . .

The AtIAIATAVT.TOWNT CLICIIR explained the rate-
able table ..f the holt.. that rtid not pay the old rata
WWI £ll3 1G... .

-
Mr. Hcarantit look.l Turin it as a public in-atter,
and iinc for the benefit of the whole town. He agreed
with Mr. Popo it would .e... 11 a hardship that the
inhabitante of the estate should be burdened with
this special nob..
MC. AITInirK LOCK said if proper drainage had been
lall4loan im the Cornwall I.:state all in other ports
of the t iwn, this burden would not have occurred.
He considered it was not &special hardship ispon.the
owners and oracular-es of the houses in question.
Before the houses were added to the town the owner.
should have laid down drains throughout the whole
of the district. He did nit see how they could now
complain.
Mr. DAVIS : I don't think we ought to tax them
morn than they are already.
Mr. LOCK : But put have just seconded the
motion. .

BeRVETT tntirtirvited they should grt on with
the work and eettle the rate question afterwards.
Pore said he might mention that at this very
moment they were carrying out drainage works at
Fordington—at Fonlingtosi Qom end up the Prince
of Wales •road. The Cornwall Ketate people had eon.
tributed their fair quota towards these works. Was
it, then, fair that the inhabitants of these places
should lm exempt from the (Dement of the drainage
of the Ownwall Estate, which was foe the good of
the whole town'
. . .

Th.! NIATOII Artid thPro WM certainly smnething in
what Mr. Lock had raid, viz., that the Cornwall
&date ought to have been drained previous c the
buildinga being put there. The drasns and roadi
ought to have been made before a brick WWe laid on
the estate. Unfortunately, they had no bye-leas
then. and could not enforce it.
Mr. Lora said they could have done no under the
Public Ifealth Set. . . .

The NIATON Them there was *nue neglet of iluty
somewhere. The drains certainly ought to have been
made.

F. LOCK : At the expense of the owner.
Mr. Titter said it certainly ought to have been
drained bs.fiere the houses wens built, an In. did in
the Orchard. Still hr wished it to be undo/n.0.-4 he
did not object to the illirowall Fotate being drained.
Mr. SYMONDS pointed mit • probable oppoeiti4m on
the part of the fecal Government Board, lut Mr.
Brwitrr said he did not think they niirht to allow
the Board to be down upon them, and to crush them
in everything they did.
Mr. Titter said they ought to drain the estate
forthwith. The summer was advancing and they did
not know whst might take
Mr. Coon It 4 Bow is it proposed to get the money
in the first instance if we do this?

Mr. lienNrrr : Them iA not the .ligh t
about it.

Mr. Comm : h ia all very fine to my that,
Mr. BURNETT : From our hanker...

Mr. Pore : Are can overdraw at the Wok.
Mr. Gversetat : It mos to me there is a general
tioneensus of opiqi.ii in the Council that the drainage
of the estate oUght t.i he cerried .oit forthwith : with
the exoeption of Mr. Arthur Isick, I have prorti no
one speak ainet it.
Mr. A. un:l have not spoken against it, Mr.
'Listable. lam most anxious for it to be carried out.
The only objection I made was aa to the means of
payment.
Mr. HUKTAIILL : I meant that Mr. hock objected
to the means of payment I am afraid he mis-
understood me, you know. (Laughter.) At any rats
the Council entirely approve of the report, with the
exception that they thought the rate ought to be
spread Over the whole of the town, and to be borne
equally by the railepayers, and not by the Cornwall
Estate only.
The Marin said the TQWn Glerk seemed to are A
difficulty iii the matter.
Mr. llrk/QNIM4: I don't are bow we can rain the
money.
Mr. DAVIS: Overdraw at the leek.
Mr. firiectefis You have no right to do that you
can only raise money on the sanction of tile leseel
Government Board.
The report of the Local hoard Inspector on his
recent enquiry was read. It was ILA fOIIOWP

"Ist May, Me.
"Sir,--I am directed by the Local Government
Boerl to state that they have had under their con-
sideration the report made by their inspector,llcneral
Carey, after the enquiry held by him with referenee
to the applicati.m of the Town Council of I kirchester
for sanction to borrow Ell,OOO for works .if seweaite
and sewage disposal. The Board observe from the
report that no provision is made in the scheme for the
purification of the sewage at the outfall before its dii.
charge into awl river Procne; and they are informed
by General Carey that in his iipinion the chemical
to which the sewage is intended to be sub-
rv.7trterl4 will probably otily result in it.., partial clarilica

prepared—having regard to the requiriiiasfttaj of the
Rivers Pollution Prevention Act, 1876—t0 sanction
the borrowing of money by the Town Council for the
execution of the scheme in its present form. The Board
regret that the undertaking given ny the Town GM?'

which they impressed on the Town Council ehe ad van.

not gather that there are any exceptional airouni•
stances at Dorchester which would prevent the Town

Mr. IiCITABLK We thoroughly deserve that. We
had almost got the land and had decided on a scheme
when off we go at • Marne on another system.
The ?SATOH said the bunt Government Boarda
wanly had quite made up their minds they would
not accept anything unless it provided for filtration
through land.
Mr. Buarrirr : By the time we have got the sewers
made on the Cornwall eetate we may have the land.
The Asittk Tarr lows Cunut remarked they obtained
the loan of 1g,004 upon ck, notertaking they would
get the land. They certainlY put' tkemeelvee in a
false position by the scram they bad liken sinde.' "
Mr. A. LOOK said noes the loan warn obtained their
attention wee called to a seltane whir* the Local
Government Board bad approved of at Salisbury
which wet properly carried out, and which they hoped
would have deco approved here. Now he feared they
must commence de nor, from 11432.
Mr. BraNgrr premed for an immediate settlement.
They had been shilly-shallying ever since IMO, and it
seemed they were going on till ISM.
Mr. A. Lout: But can we carry it out?
Mr. Bummer : Let us risk it.
Mr. kora tbiottt they would get out of their
I difficulty if they se a maclution that the drainage
be proceeded i. ' But if they (omen the ;Ma a
special district and imposed • tate of .wmiethlag like
10s, in the C. he was fairly of 04i10100 thar they would
be exempt from all payment in respect of the lamer
loan which they were Ong to borrow. If be were
an inhabitant end weee called upon to pay 104, in the
he should certainly relate(' to WV &QV Other rate.
Mr. Buitsgrr : Mr. Pope has made a mistake about
the 104. rate. All we want is about LW.
Mr. Pori And the rateable value is only C9OO.
That makes it about fik. in the g.
Mr. Ilcitecrr : it is not. (Laughter.)
Mr. POPI suggested Mr. Burnett should go to school
again. (Renewed laughter.)
The AUSISTANTIONS CLINK said they would he
draining the Corners!! Rotate into the present sewer.
and therefore into the river. It would therefore be
quite poasible they would be raising • rate for Mapl
purposes to • certain extent. Since last Friday -he
had obtained counsel's opinion, which confirmed him
altogether in the view he had taken. It was a
question whitker t oonld be objected to, but counsel
hardly thought it warn i 40094 f9r dem to consider
if they made it into • special diedrut, which they wert
able to do.

--- —.
Mr. A. Loci i We eau make it ink a etaseuti

-11;:i31110,11X1 : Counsel line no doubt about It.
?dr. A. Port then moved ae an amendment to ILL
Burnett's resolution that the words as to forming the
Cornwall Estate into a separate district be erased;
and that the drainage be immediately proceeded
with.

Mr. Istaxrn was prepared to withdraw the words
in questiou. and he therOore submitted his resolution
in these tertos—" That the report he a4opted with
the exceptioe of that portion Malan to thelardianon
ol this aornwall Estste into a separate district tor the
P siss thi expenditure."
raxis. the resolution
SWIMt wan pennon; to odd tkai the work

be commenced to-morrow morning. (Laughter.) H.
mound them there warn no Joke about it.
On a division all voted for the motion with Um
exception of Alderman Curiae, Alderman W. Durden,
and Couneillors T. Coombs and F. Dock. (The
Surveyor intimated he should be able to commence
work on Monday.)
Mr. Pope said it must be fairly understood that the
inhabitants of each house must defray the expellee of
connectinr.
The Borough Surveyor suggested that before any
house was allowed to be connected with the new
drainage a guarantee should be entered into by each
owner that the cesspools should be filled up. The
surface chalk that would be excavated in the works
now about to be undertaken would be sufficient to fill
them up.
Mr. Pore remarked it was most important this
should be done.
Mr. Lock said they had better re-open =row
with Mr. Floyer as to the main drainage
Mr. Bcaxgrr I don't quite understand our
pneition. (Loud laughter.) He then primmer) that
newocistioe. be at once re-opened with Mr. FloYer
with the new of obtaining tbe requisite land. Mr.
Burnett thought their thanks were due to the Borough
Surveyor foe the lucid way in which he had explained
the *chew and had prepared the plans. He had
explained the ocheme to General Carey in a manner
that showed he WA/ • thorough master of all the
facts connected with the scheme.
! Mr. Pore seconded, and the motiou was adopted.
—This concluded the business.
