At the meeting of the Castlebar town
commissioners, on June 5th, MIR. James
DAILY stated that water source had
been discovered, q river which flows
down from Rahesnbar Mountain. The
discovery was made by DR.. VIM. Dixie
ter Jordan, who, accompanied by Mr..
Daily, procured a sample and forwarded
it to DR.. Cameron, who certified that the
water was good. The board went into
question of the military and public insti-
buttons becoming contributary, which
Mr.. DAILY said they should do, and of
which he seemed to have some doubt;
but Mr.. Kilkelly said that they, as a
matter of fact, became contnbutory, and
this seems to be che general opinion Oh
the matter. After some discussion on
the subject, and on the unsatisfactory
working of the fountains, the board de-
cided to hold al adjourned meeting on
June Goth to invite the ratepayers to at
tend, then discuss the subject fully, and
send forward their opinions to the
Board OF Guardians, whom the board
thought the primary authority.
SLIGO.
On June 9Th Mr.. Robert Maveety set
up for auction in the Courthouse, Sligo,
the premises known as the old brewery,
which, up till recent date, was the
property of Mr.. Robert Anderson, Il. G.
Together with the brewery there was
also disposed of a quantity of house
property in and around the town of
Sligo, and q farm OF land at Grange
North. The crowded state of the court
house during the sale showed the inter.
est which business men and the public
generally had in the proceedings. The
bidding for the brewery, the first and
principal lot in the list, was, of course,
watched with considerable attention.
The only bidders were Messrs. Fenton
and McCarthy, solicitors. It was under
stood that the latter was acting on be-
half of Messrs. Downs, an energetic and
successful brewing firm located in En-
niskillen. 4 member of the firm was
present in the court during the sale.
The lot was finally knocked down to Mr..
Fenton for 81 ,450. As Mr.. Fenton rep
resented the principal creditor of the es-
tate, the Bank OF Ireland, it is presumed
that the reserve price had not been
reached.
