Ordinary Meeting.

The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the council was held after the above. Or. Gaudin being present iu< addition, to the others named above, Works OuMWvM'].-=Tha committee reported, l'Qoominendiug that three men extra bo employed \ fo| fepdir the roads during the fine weather.' They also reported that the borough workman was engaged in cleaning" out this iwate'r' tiiblM, and drains in various streets. —Or. Peat moved that the recommendation contained in the report be adopted, — (Y. McDonald seconded.— Or, Yon Stunner deprecated tho employment of day labour on works which ought to be let by contract. He pointed out that the adoption of the recommendation would entail an expenditure of nearly £1 a day, which was no small thing when the state of the borough finances was considered. There were strong reasons why the work — wh^cji, lpwev^r ? need wop peAoue jfcnv a couple* of mouths at least — should - be? lev by-^ontract.* In the 'fifst-^la'giT'flief would get it done cheaper, and in tlw second place thes> ;w.o_nlc£ ijQt require to, pay for superintendence. Ife fnrthef 1 com.plain.cd. thM the eominifcteo's report was not explicit enough. It did not state what streets required, to r be done, He would imucih prefer to 'see; tlie Works'" jbiought up singly to be authorised by the council. To adopt the report would 'mean placing too much power in the hands of the committee. — Crs. Tippen |audj Jseat, portended /that t th'e.twork .prjoposed to be done was necessary, and was of a class that could,, not well be let by contract. They did not propose to keep the men on .mprCjthan a few , weeks. — j After some further discussion, Cr. 'yon Stunner moved an amendment $$ \\\a .effect that the matter be rfi^VA'^d bach to ,the Works Ccjm^tt^e to make a fuller ren/u-k He. pointed out that' at the, present* tnrie labour "was sdarce 1 and clear, and they should wajt jtUl.afte/: h ) ar j y i es,t;.-;The ( amendment' 'was l seconded by Cr'.
