the unsatisfactory state of the river from
Siratron's Lake through the convent
grounds, the course of action to be pur-
sued in view..of the order of the sanitary

Dryer said there we're different opinions
as to the cause of MIR. Gibbings action.
Some people attributed it to the late
elections, and others simply to desire to
annoy thetnuns but he had never known

told Mr.. Gibbings at the meeting, he
thought the matter should be pressed as
far as possible, and, if the Guardians had
powers they should not fail to exercise
them. If Mr.. Gibbings was capable Of
doing an act liable to cause widespread
sickness there 2should be some means of
preventing him-they should open the
eye of the bridge at once or make Mr..
Gibbings doit. DR.. Cullen said the mat

agent and others for pulling down the

on the ohairman's suggestion, to take
counsel's opinion as to the supposed
illegal act of Mr.. Gibbings in stopping
the flow of water through the convent
grounds.
