GLASGOW.

A report was presented by Mr. Bazalgette, the
chief engineer, asking the permission of the Board
to report jointly with Mr. Bateman on certain pro-
posals for interception of the sewage of Glasgow.
Mr. LE BRETON moved that permission be granted,
remarking that he considered it to be a great com-
pliment to this board that the opinion of its chief
engineer should be asked by a city like Glasgow on
such a question.

The motion was put and unanimously agreed to.

TIIE METROPOLITAN GAS COMPANIES.

The Solicitor to the Board drew attention to cer-
tain advertisements which appeared in the London
Gazette, from the Gas Light and Coke Company, to
the effect that they intend to apply to Parliament in
the next session for an act to alter or repeal and
consolidate all their former acts, and to confer fur-
ther powers on the company, to define, fix, and
regulate their capital, and the necessary powers to
manufacture, store, and sell gas at Barking Creek.
lie further read an advertisement from the Gazette
respecting the metropolitan gas companies' amalga-
mation, and said that Messrs. Baxter, Rose, Norton,
and Co. had given notice that it was intended to
apply to Parliament for the necessary act or acts to
amalgamate into one, two, three, or four companies
the metropolitan gas companies, and to vest in those
new companies the necessary powers, as now pos-
sessed, to purchase or hire ships, coal mines, &c., in
order to procure coals at a cheaper rate for the ma-
nufacture of gas, and to repeal or alter the Metro-
politan Gas Act of 1860.
A member of the Board asked the solicitor whether
it was correct that their expenses in the matter of
the gas committee of last session amounted t0£4,000,
as he saw that amount stated in one of the news-
papers.

The Solicitor said he had not been able to ascer-
tain what the exact amount would be, as all the
witnesses had not sent in their bills of expenses, but
hs should think the amount would not exceed £2,000,
if it came to so much.

The subject was then referred to the Works and
General Purposes Committee.

PUBLIC WORKS.
A report was presented from the Finance Commit-
tee submitting a statement of sums apportioned to
the undermentioned special accouuta of the Board,
in respect of establishment charges, &c., to June 30,

CONTRIBUTIONS TO LOCAL IMPROVEMENTS.

Mr. NEWTON, pursuant to notice, moved—" That
all unpaid grants and future contributions to local
improvements be paid out of a fund to be raised by
loans spread'over a number of years."
After a long and animated discussion, an amend-
ment was moved to the effect that the farther con-
sideration of the subject should be deferred until
the Committee for Works and General Purposes
had brought up their report on the subject. The
amendment was carried.
The rest of the business was disposed of, and the
Board adjourned.
