THE METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Alderman COPELAND, M.P., said he should be
glad if any of the representatives of the city of
London at the Metropolitan Board of Works would
inform him whether it was true as had been re-
ported, that Mr. Bazalgette, the engineer to the
Board of Works, was engaged with Mr. Furness,
the contractor for the Thames Embankment, in
carrying out some extensive works r.t Odessa ?
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said he was sorry to say that
it had oozed out that such was the case. He thought
it right at the same time to state that he believed
the Board of Works knew nothing of the matter ;
but the fact, as he understood, was, that Mr. Fur
ness had engaged to do some very extensive works
at Odessa, and that the amount Mr. Bazalgette
would probably receive as the engineer for those
works, i❑ the shape of commission, would be about
£lO,OOO.

In answer to questions put by other members of
the Court.
Mr. TAILOR stated that the estimate of Mr. Fur-
ness for the embankment was higher by £25,000
than one of the other estimates that was sent in,
and it was upon the recommendation of Mr. BazAl-
gette, the engineer to the Metropolitan Board of
Works, that his tender was accepted.
The subject then dropped.
RAISING OF HOLBORN VALLEY.

Deputy FRY brought up a report from the com •
mittee appointed to consider the above subject,
which stated that they had awarded the first prize
of £250 for the best plan submitted them to Mc.
Richard Bell, and the second of £l5O to Mr. T. C.
Sorby. The committee also highly commended
several of the other plans that were submitted to
them.

The motion for the reception of the report was
agreed to.
Mr. Deputy ScAMELL brought up a report on the
reference to consider and report upon the proceed-
ings of the Common Hall of the 29th September
last, directing the resolutions of thanks to the Lord
Mayor and Sheriffs to be ornamentally written,
framed, and glo zed, and recommending that the
same be executed on this occasion at an expense in
the aggregate of £94 10s. He said, in moving the
adoption of the report, the committee did not wish
to establish a precedent. They had made the
necessary enquiries, and were of opinion that the
Livery had no right to draw upon the City's eash ;
but on this occasion, taking into consideration the
extraordinary circumstances that had taken place
during the year, they recommended that the money
should be paid.
The report was agreed to.
The Court then adjourned.
