Pfpd by the Secretary of Lord Putnam
To the Chairmen of the tan Board of Works.
A discussion aloft as to whether the board ware to be
led by that etetentert, when
Deputy Hammon said that no one could be alerted at
all by the scheme of Mr. Beselgett., bees... it bed not been
tried. Ater • few other remarks reletiog to the shire
letter,
" - • " "

The Czazamear said he thought that the oil) wilts; which
they Y 64 then is eosstder was the discharge of tho sewage,
'huh he thought might easily be 'rescued.
Mr. &acacia was of opinion thu the bottrl bad better
adjourn the t•onsidt ration of tbis letter to a future
The Carman/at lisp:d they would not adj tom for if
they were to do so it would be wastiog most valuable time
He mut say that four meetiep in one week to outsider that
subject was r stber over the murk.
Mr. Wass roes and seconded the amendment of Mr.
Mows.

111r7NIcuoLar. said he hoped if the amendment of Mr.
How' wax lost, they would not goon discawiog the Issue
interception and main drainage south of the Tomes, with-
out they had soma other plan betides Mr. Haailgetta's to
jud,gs by.
Mr. CitiLLIW said he felt Weasel( ►n a somewhat awk-
ward Position. Although be bad complained Omit he bad
only saes aM plan presented tJ the board far their chola,
which wte is fast no theism at all—(laughter, sni " Hear,
bete")—thy bad ao alusrnatios but to adopt thus plan el
Mr. bsealgatto, butanes they had no other plan t, substitute
to it.

Tem was no meander, and the amendment wu lost

Mr. *rumen considetii that Mr. Bestlgethe's plan was
worthy of the at rout of the beard, and be tt ought if It
we. carried out it would redound to the credit of the booed.
He therefore should support the motion of Mr. Citroen's'.
Mr. LISLIZ then gave nonce "that he wculd bring for-
ward, at the earliest possible period, his the, for the adop-
tion or otherwise by the Metropolitan Board of Works, for
that constant discharge t f the sewage without the necessity
of rertruirs, and at points of discharge much below that
metropolis."
Mr. D•ler•woart said he wished to state that, if that was
reseived, he would be compelled bisect( to vote spinet
both Vans, which cum* he did not wish to take.
Mr. Lzatta said that the highest credit was due to Mr.
Bastliette for what he had done in bringing that phut be-
fore the boar 1. He (Mr. Leslie) hal pita rest attentioa to
the whole subject, and he thought they were dependieg too
such epos the esperimente of the gnat. He was patent
when the arragements were made for the drawing of the
servey, which wee then en the table. Captain Hargett wrote
to him, a little while ago, eomplsicing of tae er o.mese
amount of sewage pouting out of the &subsea* at Deptford.
He thought that there was not the slightest mum why
they' should no: discharge the while sewage et ell holm a
tie tide, provided it was lower down than Pintnetead. The
metopo.iten pumping stations, ha thought, were things that
would beerjeetionable. In his opinion, the two most int-
portset cad pinching points is the ma were, how low
down they were to take the eewen, and bow large were
thou sewers to he. Mr. Leslie west on to state hie opinion
on many other points of the rotting el Mr. B•salgette.
The muting adjourned until Maadey nest, for the far.
ther consideration of this subject.
