The Council were occupied for some time in discussing the drainage of what is locally known as Cubit's Court, alt, the back of Mr Hariris, the photograpli-ors.-The Surveyor had beon. instructed to take steps to abate a nuisance there, but had not done so.—Mr Griffiths said it wa.s a private' road.—Mr J. H. Hughes understood the surveyor was also an inspector of nuisances.—Mr J. W. Jones: I believe they put the fault on Mr T. C. Thoma.s that lie damaged the drain.—Mr T. 0. Thomas (hotly): Don't bring me in again. That was rectified and finished with two or three months ago at least. Don't bring me in again.—Mr Roberts urged that the nui- sance should be abated.-Mr Griffiths wanted j jW *lfey were going to have &■ (private "Gained.—■^iei Surveyor asked if he •hould dtain it.—Eventually it was decided to halve the nuisatnce oibated. f THE ORESCENT ROAD DRAIN. With regard: to this, there was a I nx-Y a.nd at. tumes acrimonious discussion.—Mr J W. ckt lrhai now arrived and a^v ,ied thte contended that the •H/vna carnied out the instruc- tions of the drains committee: whilst the sua-- veyor, on the other hand, contended it was Mmposstbieto carry out thleir instructicolis.- Mr T. c. Thomas: We ordered the ~'OHsdble<, and the surveyor tried the impossible to drjam uphill.—This the Surveyor disputed.— Unairman: Broadly speaking, the surveyor should earrv out the orders. unless they are manifestly .absurd.—Mr W.

It was said that the expense of the drain wguld be £ 50, and would coat another £ 60 for the continuance of the drain past Railway Terrace. TWO A TRADE NEVER AGREE. Mr J. T. Edwards, who is building on hoirnia.ston estate, wrote that Mr noy'e' schoolmaster, who was also, building t'hre objected to join, as he had agreed to the ner owners, in draining the street or road'. 7Tr -Knioyle said he could drain his hou^e from the back. Was it not the rulie to drain in front of the houses.—The Oerk said he could ^n'*v be compelled to drain into a public drain «f -it was within 100 feet.—Over this there was a long discussion, which eventually the Ohairmatn brought to an end by saying that Mr Edwards' letter contained some very in- teresting conundrums, but they were not for the Councdl to answer. When the houses were further advanced, and application came before them, in view of the circumstances at that time, they could come to a conclusion. It was not a, matter for them as a, body, but it wa* one for Mr Ediwairdls to be advised upon nvf^ n-T*?r Mr T- C- Thomas, the Chairman said Mr Edward's .should go to a solicitor conversant with such matters, and not come for advice to a body that might in vne future be antagonistic.

At the conclusion of the business, the Chairman said that, that would be the Jast, meeting at which he would be present with them, and which; he regretted!. There would' be another Council meeting before the end of the current year, but that would be his last (No, no). He went on to say, I am afraid it will be impossible to continue. I only desire to get. up to say how thankful I am for the kind consideration you have shown me in the nine years I have, been chairman. The best- feelings, have prevailed between you and me at every single meeting. We have to some extent improved the tone of the meetings. £ low and aigain there have been lapses, but wfrliW?. € meetings all in all, the tone of them ^yeelf^^f16 vei*y we^ ^^h other towns.

He went on that diftf recollect in those early days the moultiies they had to encounter about a er ^heme, which bad proved of such ? at advantage to the town. It was opposed y some people, for some reason or other, in the strangest possible fashio but in spite of Mll opposition the, scheme was successfully brought to a conclusioTi and no man could say it had not- iptroved a great boon to the town, and been of great advantage: to it. Then with regard to the elleotric. light. Had they to go back again over that question he wo-uld, aggaan take the same view. That light had also been of advantage to the town (hear, heatr), and. especially so in the houses. Other matters would come be-fore them that, would require 8111 their judgment and, consideration. There was the quest-ion of the market. He firmly believed that in a short time the Board of Agriculture would: insist on, fairs being held1 outside the town in a place properly suited for them. There wtre other matters which he meed not detail. He only honed the Council would in the future continue to exer- rise the good sense and judgment, taken through and through it had in the past, and .all -e desired to express his very thanks for the kind consideration they fittii'Vf* him, even when he had exhibited Qf judgment and want of good temper of f on,e' flwl all he parted with the be»t r ^Imgs.—Mr Evan Jones would like the frJr 1+?ia<n to withdraw hasi words that night of the questions of the market were to come before them. He would be a great' convenience to the Council. He hoped he woukl withdraw.—Clwiirman I'1 do not like to continue in an office I cannot alt,tend regularly to. Thie work I have on hand makes it impossible. That was all the business.
