IIOLYWELL. BAGJLVT AND CONNAH'S QaAY DRAISAGE.-At the re- cent meeting of the Liolyivell Rural Sanitary Authority, pros ded over by the Uipht- iloti. L'1rd Mostyn, the el -rk reported that he had written to thu Local Government Board in reply ;u their letter respecting the drainage of Bagillt and Connah's Qiay into the Dje, and submitted a copy of his letter, which was approved of and ordered to be entered on the minutes of the Authority. The following is a copy cf the letter Holywell" Union, August 10, 1878.— My Lords and GentlemeD,-I t. directed by the guardians of this union to acknowledge the receipt of your letter respecting the drainage of BagiiJt a-ld Connah's Quny, and beg respectfully to draw your attention ;o letters addressed to you on the subject, dated January 23, 1878, and June 13, 1878. The Authority now beg further to remark that Bagillt and Cor.nah'a Quay are so situated that no system of drainage appe trs to them practicable but into the DJQ, and such must have been the opinion of your inspector, Major Tuliock, who, when he held his local inquiry, approved of the proposed scheme. The Authority beg again moifc respectfuliy to advance that the river Dee being a tidal river it does not come under the operations of the Kivers Pollution Act, 187G and that your honourable Board, despite the opinion of the Chester Town Council, should sanction the pro- posed drainage into the Dee, inasmuch as Bagillt is distant from two to three miles further off Chester than Flint, the latter place with a much larger population, and having the largest chemical works in the kingdom being drained into the Dee; and all the chemical works from Flint to Chester are likewise drained into the riv, r Dee. The Saaitary Authority again desire to assure your honourable Board that they are wishful to improve the sanirary state of their district, and would only he too happy to carry cut the provision under schedule 15 of the Public Htialtli Act. ls75 but as your honourable Board recoximend them not to proceed with the drainage of Bagillt and Connah's Qaay, according to the only system they, in company with your inspector, and their own engineer thought expedient, they are at a loss to know what other course to adopt, especially since your honourable Board have concurred in the opinion that legally they have a right to drain into the river Doe.—1 am, &c., E. J. DAVIF.S, Clerk."
