HART, the plans were adopted, and the Clerk was in-
structed to forward them to the General Board in London,

SEATS FOR TIIE ruran.

A letter was read from Mr. T. C. Melley, requesting the
permission of the Board to erect seats, at his own expense,
along the Aigburth-road, for the accommodation of the
public.
The Board thought that they were much indebted to
Mr. Melley for his philanthropy, and, on the motion of Mr.
Boult, seconded by Mr. Rathbone, a resolution expressive
of thanks, and giving the required permission, under the
direction of Mr. Newlands, was unanimously adopted.

INCORPORINING THE TOWNSHIP WITII THEBortoutga OF

LIVERPOOL.

At the last meeting of the Board, Mr. Boult gave notice
that he should move a resolution to the effect—that at this
meeting the Board express it as their opinion that it is
desirable that the rural district of Toxteth-park be incor-
porated with the borough of Liverpool. On the present
occasion he rose to move the resolution of which he had
given notice, and had no doubt but that it would be carried
unanimously. The grounds upon which he based the
foundation of such a motion were, that the borough could
not make its drains without going through the township,
and that the rating for the rep•iir of the roads, which were
chiefly used by the people of Liverpool, would be spread
over a wider area.

The OHAIRM tif objicted to the wording of the resolution,
which at his suggestion was amended, and it was decided
that the motion should be referred to the Finance Com-
mittee, for them to report thereon, after making full
inquiries into the subject.
Mr. URQUHART wished to know whwher the lrknevo-
lence of the township arose from the fact of Liverpool
losing its Town Dues, as there was no doubt but thit the
taxation would be much increased.

The CHAIRMAN thought that as it was only a motion for
inquiry, there had better not be any discussion on the
subject.
kr. RoGERS seconded the motion.
After come conversation on the subject,
Mr. URQUHART moved that the consideration of the
Subject be postponed until the next monthly meeting.
This was seconded by Mr. HUGHES.
The CHAIRMAN expreesed it as his opinion that there
could not be any object'on to a full investigation being
made on the motion, and that there could not be a doubt
but that the proper parties to inquire into the merits of the
case were the Finance Committee.

Mr. URQUHART thought that as the subject wag one of
such great importance, that a public meeting of the rate-
payers should be called to ascertain their feeling.
The CHAIRMAN replied that that could be done, and
with greater effect, after the Committee bed considered
the subject, and made their report. Then there would be
something to lay before a meeting, as facts on each side
would be brought forward.
Mr. BOULT briefly replied, stating that it was absolutely
necessary. if they agreed in the expediency of ircirporating
the township with the borough, that it should be done
immediately, as notices to Parliament would have to be
given on the 30th of November next, which could not be
done, if any farther delay took place ; and he had a wish
to see the little bantling of his brought to mttnrity. •
The Board then divided, and the original motion was
carried ; only the mover and seconder voting for the
adjournment
The Board then adjourned.
