A report was received from the Cemetery Committee to the effect that the fence fronting the Junction road was in a most unsatisfactory condition. The posts were rotting, and the live hedge' had been spoiled by the salt spray. The one best within tiicir means was a concrete post and rail fence, to cost about £7O. To erect this the Board would require a loan of iiO from the Council. The other course was to put up a sheep-proof plain wire fence, backed by an ornamental hedge. This the committee favored—lt was eventually decided to refer the committee's report back to them for further consideration.

Cr. Gi-bljs, for the Baths Committee, reported that owing to less favorable weather conditions the support given had not been up to last season's. A swimming club had been formed, and had waited on the committee ticking for certain eoncessions for members, As the season was now so far advanced, it was deemed advisable to defer the granting of them till next season.

Eulogistic remarks were made on the management of affairs at the baths.
