A report was brought up by Mr. Freeman from
this committee, recommending that the tender of
Mr. William Dethick, for the execution of the day,
jobbing, and measured works to be executed by the
Board, comprising the eastern portion of the metro-
polis north of the Thames, for three years, at 12i
per cent. under the prices enumerated in the sche-
dule, be accepted, provided the result of inquiry
to his responsibility and that of his sureties be satis-
factory.—Approved.
The committee also recommended that the tender
of Messrs. Hill and Keddell for the execution of
the day, jobbing, and Measured works to be exe-
cuted by the Board, comprising the seteral parishes
and places within the jurisdiction of the Board,
south of the Thames, for three years, at IA per
cent. under the prices enumerated in the schedule/
be accepted, provided the result of inquiry as t°
their responsibility and that of their sureties be
satisfactory.—Approved.
The committee also recommended tlyet the appli-
cation of the Sewage Utilisation and Essex Re-
clamation Company, for permission to apply sewage
to certain pieces of land adjoining the Northern
Outfall Sewer, be granted, on condition that the
operations of the company be conducted so as 11°
to occasion a nuisance, such permission to continue
only during the pleasure of the Board, and to be
subject to the Board revoking the same at all tuneo
without compensation for any outlay.
This part of the report gave rise to a discussieli
as to whether the Board was justified in sanctioning
experiments which were undoubtedly injurious t.:3
the health of the inhabitants in the neighbourbo°
Mr. Samuda and Mr. Dixon spoke against the
recommendation of the committee.
Mr. Freeman, Mr. Carpmael, and Mr. Richard-
son supported it.
An amendment that the matter be referred back
to the committee was attempted, but was lost upon
a division by a majority of 21 to 7. The recom-
mendation was then approved of.
A letter was read from Messrs. Wigmore and
Whittick, withdrawing their tender for executin.g
the day-jobbing, &c., works for the Western dill"

sion of the metropolis. dr
After disposing of the routine business the Boar
