METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

At the adjourned special meeting yesterday the
debate was resumed upon Major Lyon's motion for
the adoption of the outfall in Erith Marshes for
the main drainage, as proposed by the engineer in
his amended report of the 7th of July, with a pro-
vision that the discharge shall take place only at or
after high water. Mr. Doulton moved, and Mr.
Hews seconded, as an amendment, " That the
engineer be directed to prepare a plan, with sec-
tions and estimates, for extending the main sewer
to Long Reach, and that the sewage be discharged
there only at or after high water." The discussion
lasted some hours. The amendment was opposed
by Mr. Dixon, Mr. T. H. Hall, Mr. Wright, Mr.
H. L. Taylor, and Mr. Deputy Harrison, on the
ground that it would involve a great and unne-
cessary increase of the cost, estimated by the last-
named gentleman at 170,0001. extra for construc-
tion, and 3,0001. a-year fur pumping; on the other
side, it was contended by several members that it
would be worth while to make the scheme so
thoroughly effectual as 'to insure Sir B. Hall's ap-
proval. The Chairman then put the amendment,
when there appeared 14 votes for it, and an equal
number against it. The chairman gave his casting
vote in favour of the amendment, which then
, stood as a substantive motion. Mr. Wright moved,
as another amendment, " That the engineer be in-
structed to report on the desirability of carrying
the entire sewage of the metropolis below Erith,
by means of one large tunnel to Sea Reach." The
debate was again adjourned.
