The- Cumn.mAN brought under the notice of- the
board the case of Mr. Clcworth, who 1
a sewer belonging to the board, 'contrary to their regu-
lations, and. without giving the required: notice,„ Se

wished to know from Mr. kvison what he -
should be done with him. •
Mi. AVl§cai, said, he . had written to him on the
jcct, but hacl heard nothing in reply.
The CIIAIRMAN was of opinion that Mr. -Clevrortlz
should at once (be proceeded against, for the_ bow},
might rely upon it they would hear nothinF. 1-
This was the -first ease of- the kind that had e.

ram Lira.

and they must not allow it to pass over unnoticed

WOODHEAD believed that Mr. Cleworth'.-s reasons
were, , that he did not Understand the plans of the

board.
~
The CHAIRMAN said he understood them as well aS
any member of the board ; and that he - had even One
so far as to say to the surveyor that he was not going
to be such a fool as to drain in accordance with the
plans of the board.
The SURVEYOR explained that Mr., Clew
to drain when other people did, but he
drained into their sewer, and then stated to a gentlema
that he had entered their sewer and ;drained as he liked
It , was resolved that gr. Cleworth be proceede
against

th refnsed!

-The proceedings of the Executive Committee were'.
nest read. They contained a report, eeonimendinic
that notice.be.given to several parties within the limits
of the township to drain their Keinisc:s.•
The proceedings were confirmed.

CONTRACT WITH THE GAS COMPANY

The CHAIRMAN said that. the. next business of the
meeting was to sign a contract with.the Gas Compani,
for lighting thelamps within the township: The com-
pany had supplied the board with the form of the con-
tract: The terms were the same as those of la

t year,

making a Charge of £2 for. every 2,000 hours (hiring
which each lamp was lighted. The only change from
the contract of last year was that the company now
propoged,to.keep all the pipes and taps" in order, whilst
the' board was to do the same.as regarded the, lamp-posts.
and alsoie 'light the lamps. It was a similar contract'
to that which .the company had.with all'the surround-
ing out-townships.
Mr. WOODHEAD said that, beford' the contract wag
signed, he wished to call attention to the'state; of Smith-
doWn-lane, in consequence of being, imperfectly lighted.
The. state =of Smithdown-lane an winter nights was
disgraceful, in consequence of not being better 'lighted,

and at present, with the alteration_
forward, it was highly dangerous.
the road which would unavoidably upset a cOnveyance
The CHAIRMAN did, not , think there -could the ani
such danger with a 'Careful driver.
Mr. Woonun<u) said that to talk about careful driving
in the dark was put of the, question..
The' CIIAIRMIN said they lighted iheir lamps upon
the same principle as all the other, out-lying districts ;
and if any such. alteration as that suggested by A[r.
Woodhead were carried out, it would increase the ex"

pense. ,
Mr. BOULT said the Executive Committee, having 113(1
the matter under their consideration, did not think it
advisable during the present. year, at least, to incur
further expense.
In answer to Mr. Woodhead, the chairman said there
had. been. a communication with the Gas CompT,Yo
respecting lighting. the lamps on different terms, which,
perhaps, the surveyor would explain.
The SURVEYOR said that do interview with the
manager of the Gas Company, who.desired him to put
into writing what the hoard required. Be then wrote.
to the company, asking them what they would -charge;
for lighting each lamp during the whole year round, and
alsO how much they would charge for lighting during.'
seven months of the Near. The answer to that letter
was, that it would be. very inconvenient to alter the
terms of the agreement which was then carried out ill..
all the other outlyine, districts.
The contract with the Gas Company was then signed
and confirmed.
The revised bye-laws of the board wer
witted, and ordered to be signed and. sealed
This was all the public business

Very encouraging to all classes of the commuoitY;
and may be relied upon as being correct,, no pai'i
having been spared to procure them from the most re;
liable sources. After all, the hue and cry raised, ab°6,,
the injury done by the frost in June appears to baby
been unfounded, and instead of doing harm, no do'', e
has been the means of preventing the ravages of t'!.,
midge. As we have said above' the information 1,;,
