A long conversational discussion took place in which the merits and de-merits of Mr Watt and his water gas were fully gone into, the majority of the councillors expressing themselves in favour of the installation being gone on with. On the motion of Crs. Inkster and Cameron it was resolved to ask His Worship to get their solicitor’s advice on the question of the proposed new clause and the extension of time.
The meeting is to stand adjourned till Monday next.
