-Co., to supply twenty standards of spruce deals for repairing
the,roof of the shed on the east quay of George's Dock ; also
'the tenders of Messrs. Jenes and Jump, to the amount ,of
e. 4500. It was recorded on the proceedings that a deputa-
tion:of the Works Committee had -waited on the Finance
Committee of the Corporation on the subject of increased
.fasilitics for the traffic across the _Liver at all times of the
,day.
A deputation of the committee appointed on the 10th inst.
had met a deputation of the timber trade on the subject of
the, ground on the east side of kluskisson Dock. After having
given the matter full consideration, it was proposed to the
Committee of Works, and recommended to the general
,board, that for the first twelve months, ending Ist July,
1860, the rent should be only sd. the square yard, anti
beyond that period 10cL
