TIM NITROPOLTIS LOCAL MANAGIIILYT ACT.

Mr. TIT; M.P., in rising to move "That the board take
the necessary steps far a renewed application to parliament
in the ensuing session for the amendment of the Metropolis
Local Management Act," said that there was a general desire
on the part of the different vestries of the metropolis that
there should be a renewed application to parliament for an
amendment of the present Metropolis Local Management
Act. He said that the bill bad really passed the com-
mittee, and he believed that it would have been passed into
a Law had it not been introduced at so late a period of the
session. He believed that as the bill had received a very
fall discussion by a select committee in the last session, if it
was introduced in the next session it would be exempt from
the expenses of a private bill. He had consulted the
Speaker and Mr. May, and he was fully assured that it was a
public bill, and therefore all the expenses of counsel before
a select committee would be saved. He hoped, therefore,
that the board would now take the matter in hand, and
deal with this question by going again to parliament
with the bill, as it was passed last year by the select coin.

Mr. itaurrow, M.P., seconded the motion.
Mr. Deputy IiARAMON suggested that if they went spin
to parliament they ought to strike out from the bill all the
clams relating to vestries, and merely ask for powers which
were necessary to carry out the duties of the board. He
concluded by moving as en amendment, " That before this
board take any steps for a renewed application to parliament
they should consider and agree to the various provisions
they propose to be embodied iu the same bill."
Mr. LrAtIE seconded the amendment, which, however,
was lost, and the original motion was carried.
Mr. TITS, M.P., said he would follow up the motion by
moving, " That the bill withdrawn by Mr. Tite in the last
session of rliament be referred to a committee of the
whole board, with a view to the consideration if any, and,
if so, what alterations should be made in it previous to its
introduction to the House of Commons, and that the rend.
site notices be given."
This motion was also carried.
Some other business of a routine character was then du.
posed of, and the board adjourned.
