rious responsibility which rested upon them in carrying
forward the Rivington scheme. He predicted that In the
event of the Rivington works not going forward—(re-
timed laughter)—all the pipes they had got would be
thrown upon their hands, as an almost worthless com-
modity.
Ultimately the proceedings were confirmed.

PROPOSED SALT WATER BATHS

The proceedings of the Baths Committee comprised a
recommendation to carry out the scheme for salt water
supply specified in the borough engineer's report, at an
estimated cost of £26,232, exclusive of the price of land.
Mr. WAGSTAFF, in moving the confirmation of the
proceedings, said he did so pro forma, in order to bring
the important question before the Council. Mr. Wagstaff
then went on to explain the proposed plan, which was by
the erection of works at the Itimrose, to enable them to
carry salt water baths to various parts of the town.
Considerable discussion took place, and several mem-
bers of the Council expressed it as their opinion that the
subject was of too great magnitude to be disposed of
without further consideration.

Mr. SAMUEL HOLME and some other speakers were of
opinion that the proposed works could not be executed for
anything like the estimate named.
After considerable discussion; the matter was postponed
in order to give members of the council an opportunity
of considering the Borough Engineer's report on the
subject.
