TVAVEBTBEE CO7MISSIONEBB.

The adjourned special meeting of this board was held at
the public offices in Wavertree last evening. The Rev. Mr.
Badnall was in the chair, The commissioners present were
Mr. Picton • Mt. Bowers, Mr. Davis, Mr. Riston, Mr. Hill,
and Mr: 'Chatham. This meeting was convened for the
purpose of receiving a report from the overseers of the
parishes of 011erton, Garston, Woolton, and Childwall,
relative to the making a cemetery for all these places. Mr.
Andrews the assistant overseer for all these parishes,stated that
the township of Garston; was about purchasing a piece of land
from Mr. Lightbody contiguous io the church,—the township
of Allerton had not had a meeting, but it was thought that
that parish was two small to have any connection with the
contemplated cemetery. Childwali would not join with
them, as they were about to have one of their own, and
Walton also declined t 3 co-operate. Such being the case,
on the motion of Mr. Riston, it was recommended that the
'subject should stand adjourned for the present, which was
:unaiiimotisly agreed to, and the subject was permitted to
drop:
_ _

With reference to Olive-lane, a subject which has pre-
viously been discussed at this board, and which lane it was
agreed should be taken by the board, provided certain
necessary repairs, as prescribed by the act of parliament, Were
done by the owners of the adjoined property,
The CLERK stated that the Board could take it as it then
was if they were satisfied with its condition, and after a
brief conversation, on the suggestion of Mr. Picton, notice
was given that a portion of a former resolution should be
rescinded, and the division on the subject was postponed,
one gentleman expressing a doubt as to whether the owners
would put the lane in repair.
A letter was read from Mr. Blakeley, who had been served
with a notice from that board relative to pumping up cer-
tain waters, so as to prevent it rising in the cellars of the
houses adjacent. Mr. Blakeley, after giving his itasons, de-
clined to comply with the order. The chairman said it Was
quite clear they had no power of compelling Mr. Blakeley
to do so, upon which Mr. Young was sent for, and upon
being questioned by the commissioners, said he would make
a drain from the tank to the end of Crapper's garden, about
100 yards, for 4s, or ss. per yard, and as that would effect
what Mr. Blakeley had declined to do, the board gave in-
structions that the drain should be immediately made at the
expense of the board. •

A letter was read from Mr. M'eauley, requesting to know
what progress was being made to abolish the cesspools, and
also as to the water wors and drainage of houses.
The letter was ordered to be entered on the minutes of
the proceedings, after which the meeting separated.
