Owing to the large amount of outstanding sanitary rotes, the clerk wa3 instructed to issue summonses for all unpaid accounts without further notice. The board's solicitor wrote stating that lio had issued the necessary' notices to fence the boundaries of tho Johnsonville water catchment area.

The District Health Officer reported unfavourably upon the salcyards of Messrs. Abraham and Williams, .the yards being unpaved, and practically no attempt being mado to drain them. In his opinion the yards were much too large for tlie rerinircmonts of the district, and tlio owners should be required by the board to abate any nuisance and give effect to the following:—(1) Tho floors of all nens to lie properly graded, concreted, channeled, and drained. (2) The cattlo not to be kept in the saleyards longer than absolutely necessary for the sal© purposes, nnd not 'to be allowed access to any r-or-tion which lias not l>een paved as alwe stated. (3) High-pressure water to bfclaid on to properly constructed drinking troughs. Tho board decided to forward a copy of tho report, to the owners, asking them to comply therewith.
