Mr. Brocklebank said, some time hack, he brought the
question before the warehouse comrniitee. Mr. Hartley
was instructed then to have fountains prepared for the
purpose. Subsequently communication had taken place
with Mr. Lockett as to the places where the docks and
quays' committee would think it proper to have the foun-
trins fixed. In a short time all the docks, or a great part
of them, would be so supplied. (Hear, hear.)

APPLICATION OF ELECTRICITY TO THE CLOCK ON THE

VICTORIA TOWER

Mr. Bold moved, according to notice, " that the plan for
applying electricity to the clock on the Victoria Tower in
connection with the time-ball, as recommended by Mr.
Harteup, he at once adopted. Mr. Bold went .t
considerable length into the question, which has already
been several times discussed by the board. He showed
that the adaptation of the system to the clock would not
only of itself possess great advantages over its application
merely to the time-ball, but that the connection of the clock
thus arranged with the time-hall would secure for the latter
a certainty which could not otherwise be calculated upon.
The additional yearly cost to the-board, taking into consi-
deration the fact, that if the motion were not adopted, a
" normal clock " would have to be purchased, lie estimated,
only at £2 ss.

igr. Anderson seconded the motion.
A lengthened conversation took place, during which the
chairman and Mr. Mondell explained that when, on former
occasions, they opposed the proposition, they were led to
understand that the additional cost would be much greater.
The chairman also stated that he was not .aware that the
fact of the ball being regulated without,reference to the
clock would render the falling of the former less certain and
reliable.
The motion was adopted without a division.

motion, of which Mr. M'lver had given notice, regard-
oirement of certain detailed manifests from

ing the rec

consignees, charterers, brokers. de., was postponed, at the
request of Mr. North, dock soliettor, to Thursday ,week.
This concluded the general business.
