COST OF PUMPING WORKS.
(To the Editor of the Evening Star.)
Sib, —I see Adam Porter quotes a clause in the Financial Arrangement Act, 1876, to help himself out with his argument, but if he wants to know more about it I will refer him to Mr Brodie's speech when before his constituents last JNovem ber, when he then stated that the Big Pump had not cost the County £4,000. If that statement is correct will Adam please show us how the remaining £5,000 come to be spent during December and January, as looking over Mr Black's statements furnished to the Borough Council I find that the expenditure in December was £676, and in January £575—less the drainage contributions £500.—1 am, &c,
