It was intended to put the item for street watering under the heading of the Road and Fore- shore They had put this item at CIOO, although it actually cost last year £ 113. They had heard what the Medical Officer of Health had said with regard to ventilating sewers, and be had told th?m how very essential it was to adopt the arrange- ment of thel-c ventilating shafts in the streets, as being far more conducive to the health of the town. To have these ventilating shafts it was proposed to buy lamps, and to have gas furnaces at the bottom part of the post. The estimate* cost for !),* these wis £ 135 'They had sometmng like £ 94 in hand altogether as the balance of the sewerage loan. The Local Government Board would no doubt give per- mission to the Commissioners to use this money for the purpose of erecting- these shafts, the balanco of the sewerage loan really was only -,04,^ they must brar in mind that a cheque had been given to Mr Pritchard for X40 out of that sum. The cost of maintaining these shafts, estimating at the present rate of gas; 3s d per thousand. It these furnaces were to burn gas for four months for 24 hours and for eight months for twelve hours in each cby,f would amount to something like £ 08 10s.; but i the Uas Company, in considerate of large con- sumption of gas by the commissioners, for the pur- pose of e-treet lighting, v. as to reauce it one-third, they would bring the cost of maiutamence to some- ^nno- like £ 40. The next item came under the headlna- of Town and Market Halls, on that, item it was not necessary For him to make any special re- mark, as it was similar to what it was last year The estimated expenditure for the Fire Eugme and Brigade had been put down at £ 2o, last year only hatfhowever, been spent, and this year the/ only wanted JSlG The fire taps for the Town Hall was an entirely new item. iiisar: had been insistsd upon by the magistrates for the pubuo safety before orantiuy a theatrical liccuoo for the Towu Hall —!S a precaution against an occurence of fire. The work had been commenced, and was estimated at £ 30. The next item was that of the baed; this might possibly lead to a discussion, but, lie thought that id putting down £14;), there woul 1 b" no harm done. 'I hey would have to provide something like £.54 for the balance of the debt re- maining on the Bandstand, and something like £ 100 as a subsidy for the lmnd, that was merely a provision in case they decided to subsidise the band. The band last year cost more by X50 than they had estimated'for. The total expenditure being £ 125, £ 25 cf which^went in part payment, of bandstand and only £100 towards subsidising the band. He had told them all about the £ 80 which had not been received from the Local Government Board, and also the zEI6 10s contribution towards main roads, and £ 30 for private improvements. As to the deb is and liabilities the clerk had put on one side the debts owing t,) the commissioners which amonnted to £101, the amount which they ought to receive from Mr Chuaton being included in this sutr. On the other side there was £ 150 owing by the Commissioners, the greater part or that was for team work, which amounted to Xios, and which became due last quarter, most of the other £ 50 would be paid that day, and would go into this year's expenditure. If they look at the difference between this year's estimates and last, he might tell them that the debts owing by them were about the game now as they were 12 months ago. On the 25th March, 1887, they were X155, and on the 25th March, 1888, £ 150, whilst the debts owing to. the Commissioners remained the same. Some of the members had evidently lost sight of the fact that they were indebted to the extent of X220 f r money deposited with the Commissioners to make good the defacts in the Plastirion Road. TheD, again, there was £ 69 unexpended in con- lection with the Marine Drive these two made an addition of 9289 to the estimate. On the other siie he had to add the pioposed loan of giss, the moiety of salaries of £ 8fe, due from the Local Government Board, X,16 10s; main road con- tribution, S16 10s.; and the X127 10a. contribution due from the Government, when making a total of £412. These, added to the totals of the estimate as printed, brought the receipts to £ 5744., and tho expenditure £ 5,888; leaving a deficiency of £144. That was the statement he had to suomit to them. The Finance Committee thought that a 2s. 9d. rate^ would be readily accepted by the Board. He thought, looking at their experience last. year; sec. inir that a deficiency of £ 59 is shewn on the estimate J 2s Sd and that they wanted £ 90 extra expen- diture it was right that they should fix the rate at 2s 10d., and he therefore begged to propose that a 2S! lOd. rate be levied (cheers.) Mr Kent seconded the motion to impose a 2s. lOd. „ j.p „nd in doing so remarked that they owed a deen debt of matitado to Mr Mostyn Williams, for the interest and trouble he had taken with the finances of the Bop-id. Mr Richard Jones proposed that tho recommenda- ation of the Committee, that the rate be fixed at 2s 9d should be adhered to. Times were bad, and he believed that the present state of their finances did not warrant a 2s. iOd. rate being de- 111 Afr "Richard"Jones's motion was seconded by Mr R D. Roberts, and supported by Messrs Jos. Williams, G. F. Gunner, A. L. Clews, Henry Parry, and the Chairman; wmist Mr H. J. B. Lawrence spoke in favour of a 2s. IOd. rate. Mr Mostyn Vv illiams, in replying, said that he was very sorry, although they had given Lim credit tor hiving taken a great deal of interest and trouble and had given him credit for possessing some financial ability that he had not been able to con- vince them upon the matter of the rate. considered that tho accuracy of his statements had been doubted, but he detief-I any member of the Board to prove any inaccuracies in his statements. Havin" replied to the (rglUnents in favour of a 2s 9d ° rate, he said in conclusion thai after tne eppostion they had offered to his proposal, he thought he should feel it his duty to resign his nositton as Chairman of the Finance Committee. Mr Kichard Joues's motion was then put to tho meeting, when seven voted fur and five against. It was 'f tor wards put to the meeting as a sub- stantive motion, and carried new. call. PO^TTONMISNT OF MEETINGS FALLING ON BANK HOLIDAYS. Mr Clews moved the following motion-" That whenever a Monthly Meeting of the Board falls upon a Bank Holiday, the same be postponed until the same hour on the following day, and that the Clerk be instructed to issue the notices calling such meeting for the day following tlie Bank Holiday as aforesaid. The motion was seconded by Mr Ll. Lloyd, and unanimously carried. MR. HENRY PARRY AND HIS FOOTWAYS. Mr Henry Parry moved the following motion, of which he had given notice-" That the Com- missioners do adopt and maintain the footpath in Market Street opposite the Lome Hotel; also in Water Street opposite 22, and 23; the said foot- paths haviugbeen paved according to notice re- ceived 12th day of March, 188S. Mr Taverner: That's all very fine, hut before I snpportyour motion,I should like toknow whether the work has been completed to the satisfaction of the Surveyor. Mr Parry Yes I thmk so The Surveyor, said the work had not been done to his satisfaction. Mr Parry Then I think that wo ought to make a change in our surveyor (loud laughter). The motion fell through for the want of a seconder. THE RESIGNATION OF MR IIAZLKHURST. A letter wass read from Mr G. S. Hazleluirsf, Southlands, resigning his seat on the Board, on account of his removal from llhyl to the neigh- bourhood of Liverpool. Pressure of business, and frequent absence from home had prevented him being a. regular atteudaut at the meetings of the Board. Ö He tendered his thanks to the chair- man and the members of the Board generally, for the invariable courtesie tlHq had been extended to him during his membership on the Board. On the motion of Mr R. D. Koberts, secondel by Mr G. F. Gunner,it was resolved t'at Mr Hazle- hurst's resignation be accepted. Mr Taverner, proposed that tho vacsncy be filled up at that meeting, and proposed that flrr ,"V. Powell Jones, be elected to fill the vacant seat. It was however, after a desultory discussion, agreed that the vacancy should be filled up at the next Spel;iHl ])I (-oil April 10th, it being under- stood that the eighth man at the poll at the ap- proaching election would be elected. The reading of several reports and correspondence brought the meeting to a close, and the Board rose at about eleven o'clock, having sat for six hours and a half.
