AMLWCIT. LOCAL HOARD OF HKALTrt. A meeting of this Board was held at the Scientific Hall, on Friday the Uth inst., in aecordance wi'h a reso- lution to that effect passed at the previous sitting. The business for transaction was of a more multiform cha- racter than usual, and occupied the close attention of the Board for upwards of two hours. The following gentlemen were present—Owen Jones, Esq. Chairman; Elias Jones, Gwredog; Richard Lewis, Maesil won bach It. L. Dew, Hon. Sec.; John Sellers, Highfield-house U. It. Storey, Salem Terrace; and Dr. Hughes. A letter to the Hoard, from a medical gentleman in to\\lI, wa, pel'd by the Hon. Sec., the contents of I which ofler no particular subject for remark. The minutes of the last Board meeting were Fead and | confirmed.

Jones, "afor! !fIlYII, -Å pip;,tye OWI]C,¡ by thi, party, at the i'oit, was complained of as a permanent nuisance, and seven days' notice was ordered to be served upon him to remove it. A uumber of Nuisance eases came before tho Board, aud occupied a considerable time for discussion. Pe- remptory orders for removal were directed to be given to sundry offenders. Otoe it Hobrrtts Case.—A deputation in connection with this nuisance case at the Port, consisting of two householders (Owen Parry and David Edward*) w ho had had notices served upon them by the Inspector to con- tribute to the making of a covered drain from Hugh Ro- berts's premises through their own to the main street sewer, attended the meeting to offer olljeetion.s to the proposed plan of operations, and after a careful consider- ation of the statements made by these p rtie, it was deemed advisable by the Board to appoint a sub-coin- > mittee of three members, for the purpose of proceeding with the Inspector to view the locality, aud to report upon the most eligible remedial measures at a subse- quent meeting of the Board. The following report from the Medical Officer was read to the meeting bv the Hon. Sec — To the /iuihwh Hoard of lle-dth. GKNTLK.MKN,—Owen Owens continues to improve; the nurse, Mary Hughes, is a very good one. I wish we could engage the services of one or two nv»re, for fear we may require them, as the greatest difficulty I had to ded with, was the scarcity of goo I and brave nurses. "I have a number of ca*e* of diarrluca under treat- ment; the wife of Owen Jones had some of the pre- monitory symptoms of Cholera this evening, but she is n »w better, I have visited several houses in the districts where diarrhoea is prevailing, and I submit the following to vour consideration :— I. The house occupied by Will, Hughes, O lyng alch, Port, is sadly out of repair wants whitewashing, win- (low.i i-t 1).iircil, &c. As it at present exists, it j", a great nuisance. "2 Richard Thnma, Boncyrodyn, Port, complains of a pigstye, the drain from which empties itself into the I house in which he lives. The drains in this district are very defective. "3. House occupied by the children of John Wynne, near Llyn Bricks, is unfit for people to live in it. The children, too, have no bed clothes. ".1. Mary Williams, Quay, Port, has no shoes of any description to wear. 41 6 the house occupied by Elizabeth Lewis, Kh «st is a positive nuisance; the rain runs through. It would be a great blessing if most, if not all the bouses at Khos, were destroyed. f,f>. The house occupied by Margare* Owen, Tmyfo n- went, is not one conducive to health and comfort, and uot tit as a lodging hj)\le.

Seven In reference to the first and second eases on this list, the Inspector was ordered to serve notices iu both in- stances upon the landlord, Mr John Hughes, 11 Dai, to have the premises complained of put into habit- able order, and the pigstye taken down. 3. John Wynne's Children.—These children, deserted by their father, and whose mother lately died, are now in the charge of an all nt, hy whom they are deplorably neglected and it was decided on their b.dialf to memo- rialize the Hoard of to place iheni in charge of 80m" better disposed person. destitu- tion was directed to be brought before the notice of the Relieving Office-. 5.

Jtoose, who, it was considered, would attend to the necessary repairs forthwith. An animated discus-ion now arose upon the dilatory act oil if the Burial Board in the completion of the new Cemetery. It was atlirmed that the ground was not well ej-closed with a high wall, and that the only exit- ing obstacle to its being used was the non-payment of purchase money for the laud—about t'lOO. The pre- sent crowded state ot the church yard was strongly an- imadverted upon, anll the n -cessity of the Hoard of Health taking themitter up was strongly urged. Fi. nally, it was agreed to memorialize the Burial Board to the following effect :— "That this Roard, regarding the connexion which ex- ists between the sanitary condition of this town, and the present state of the churchyard, cannot but express their opinion that to continue interments therein, en- dangers the health of the inhabitants. This B >ard, therefore, begs to call the attention of the Burial Board to the fact as above stated, and earnestly hopes that im- mediate steos will be taken, whercbv the new Cemeterv may be appropriated to its intended purpose." It was announced to the meeting, that Mr. Pritehard, Llwydiarth Esgob, hail promised to contribute to to- ward* tho construction of a pump on hi property, at i Ffynnon Eleth Well, and that the Bight Hon. Lady | Diuoiben had presented to the Board au ornamental iron putnp with brass finishings, for the purpose of hav- j ing it fixed in the well in question. j 'file Board forthwith desired that the Hon. See. would kindly convey the best thanks of the meeting to Lady Dinorbeii for her benevolent _,it*t.

On Tuesday, the 13th inst., the Board meeting was a large one, there being present—Mr. Elias Jones Gwere- dog,'chairman Rev. J. Richards, liev. H. K. Hughes; Dr. Hughes; Messrs. John Sellers, Thos. F. Evans, J.as. M. Williams, Ii. R. Storey, Ja?i? Williams, aud J. H. Treweek. Idle minutes of Friday's meeting were read ami con- firmed. 1 he several cases of nuisances adjourned from pre- vious Board meetings, were now reported upon by the Inspector, and sundry instructions were givuito that officer as to further improvements. Jl'w. /fujthes, lit/Jy, HoiiCyrodyo.- The Hon. Sec. was requested, in this case, to memorialize the Board of Guardians, and request their attention to the state of destitution in which I his family exists. Lewis, ]lhos.Notice was ordered to be given by the Inspector to have this house closed up, as unfit for human habitation. A number of small accounts for services rendered iu cholera cases, were passed by the Board, aw.1 forwarded for payment to the Board of Guardians. A report from the Medical Officer was read, from which it appears that two eases of cholera and 2S cases of diarrlioia were under treatment between the old and loth of November. A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the business of the day, aud another meeting of the Board was called for Friday. Livrrn! — We have been favoured here with n visit by the popular Vainer, the Rev. Kilhby Jones, of j London, who on Tuesday evening delivered an interest- j ing lecture, in the Welrdi language, upon Daniel How. lands, Llangeitho, and other contemporaries, founders of the Welsh Calvinistic doctrinal school. Ili., was one of rather extensive scope, and which required >he whole of the rev. lecturer's talent to do it justice. We could not, however, avoid coming to the eonclu>ion that if his theme was an English one, his endeavours would have been more successful, and less constrained. In the course of a long residence away from his native province, he has attaiued to be au ex.:ellcut scholar, all able speaker, but not by the cultivation of his native tongue. Pot't'LAU i!FADINGS, — It is with much gratification that the pleasuredoving portion of our townspeople will learn that it is iu prospect t > have these pKa-aut meetings resuscitated, during the approaching winter month-. The amusement and induction combined, which they afforded last season, will not .soon bo forgotten, and we think if they were allowed to drop, it would prove a great disappointment to many who have Leu looking forward with eagerness, for their recommencement. An agreeable source of entertainment at all times, both t,) the amuser.s and the amused, they assist considerably to render tolerable the otherwise dull winter evenings spent in a quiet country town. Bof)y oil ilic-, morning of Tuesday last, tile headless body of a man was discovered wa-hed ashore at Poi thweu Bay, near Amlwch, by Abr di un Jones, Caedwr, who immediately despatched a message to the parish authorities, notifying the sad incident. A cotlin was quickly made, and se<U under the charge of a parish official and a policeman to the spot, and the trunk, after fruitless search being made lor any marks oi iden- tification, was brought and laid in the parish deadheuse, to await the coroner's inquest. From the decoinpox d state oi the corpse,it had evidently undergone along im- mersion in the water, and bore terrible marks of muti- lation from the rocks. The covering attache I to the body, consisted of ordinary check plaid trousers, sup- ported round the waist by a tar rope, a fancy flannel shirt, and blue yarn stockings. A wooden clog was also fanned on the left foot. A week previously, a human head was found about the same part of the shore, and 'vi b'un'd at Llanlliana. Scarcely any doubt can exiso that it must have belonged to the remains washed ashore on Tuesday.

The large 11..11 was well-tilled with a very respectable audience. The following gentle- men were on the platform :—Messrs. Thomas Lewis, Fr itiog John H"bert.1"I, Bradford House; Morgan Richard*; Kobert Hughes, (»corge and Dragon: Owen Kvans, City Vaults; John h, I'Jasllwvd Terrace; Will luui Williams, druggist; Kielia.nl Ontlith. saddler; It IVitchard, bra/ier; Henry Jones, IVnlmi Mills; Humphrey Roberts, slate uierehaut and Owen M >nis, Mr, Thomas Lewis, of Frondeg, said that the coin- ;llittl't' had not appointed a chairman, fur it was extreme- ly ditiioult to get anyone to take that p isition on account of a great part of the tradesmen of Hang" being person- ally interested in either the Water Company or the; Board of Ilk-ititil. Hut a more competent and proper per>on could 11't he had than a gentleman who was then with them; and he had therefore great pleasure in pro- I poking that .Mr. John Roberts, Bradford House, take the eUuir that evening. 'Applause.) The motion w.u seconded by Mr. Morgan Richards, And carried with acclamation. The Chairman, who on rising was received with cheers, Mid that he had not come t> that meeting with the iutenHon of being called upon to fill the honourable pl,-iti,ltl he then occupied, but he came there simply with the intention of hearing his actions and conduct as .1 member of the Hoard fairly criticised and discussed. There are souie matters to be discussed here to-night j which were n »t mentioned at our last meeting. One of these w a proposal wliieh is to be made at the Board to have au engineer down from Loud >n to inquire into the works of the H >ard of Health and the Water Company, and our motive in convening this meeting is to have the j voice and opinion of the ratepayers respecting that pro- 311(1 to inquire how it is that we (III liot re- 0 ive a constant supply of water in return for our money, There -ire several matters iu connection with ti,ii (ities- tiou that ueuiand our most serious consideration. It is said by parties that are in every way competent to give .in oil ii III til,tt tli,, lzt%% ;I, it now stands provides that every person in Bangor who gets witer at aft h.w a light to get it constantly. And the question we have to de- cide here to-night is, Do we get it so •! (Cries of XP.") It ia said that we in vde .statements at the la>t meeting that ate t »tally void of foundation; but are the .state- ments we made respecting the scarcity of water unfound- ed • If you are satNtied with the present supply, well Will have nothing til »re to say. One official letter is said to be written agiin>t us, which asserts that the Water Company have done much good t.) the town, and that they did that without being paid or thanked by anyone. The promoters of this meeting will take no notice of the personal attacks whi-U that letter contained; they will "III." discu" the questi-n whether we get a constant supply of water or not. Tl\i- letter also states that the Company havs reduced their c harges for water i!ice it was tirst brought into the town. In the month of .Much last, a new Act eune into operation in this kingdom—the Tnion Chargeabiiity Act, which provides that all parishes should pay all uniform rate for the maintenance of the poor. Tins law fnkeM it necessary that every parish should be valued, aud every house awl prdlkrty were duly put under valkiatioti tt- that Act. The system of valua- tion iu Bangor previous to this enactment was to levy a rate of one-third, or Is. in the pound. Iu the meantime that system was changed, and instead of one-third being taken frum tlw valuation, there was only one-tilth taken; consequently the rates of houses in Bangor were raised, but ai all hou-es paid au uniform rate, the increase was not very large iu a year. With this lie", HYitelli if a house is assessed .i'JO to the poor, it will be the same a,*) to tile B -ard of Health and the Water Company. The Act also provides that not more than Is. fid. in the pound shall be charged for water. But the Wate. Company, in the fit it in which the new poor law came into operation, increased their charges, aud gave as a reason that the poor rate was going to be raised Several of the largest tradesmen in B kligor having given notice that they would not tike in any more of the water of the Company, a meeting ot directors was called, which hid under its consideration h )W to get the largest sum of money tor the scantiest jvssihle *upp!y of water. What they really did after this alteration in the iaw was to raise the (If water. It is also said that tho Company provided the town with hydrants. It is true that it was the Company that put them down, but a yearly s,.m U paid by the Board of Health for the use of them. Hydrants are as necessary ti tL, measure th»*ir water, as scales ire to the grocer to weigh his goods, and it s but right that everyone should pay for his own materials. Mr. Hardie says tin* there are IÜ hydrants in the town, for the use of which we pay the annual sum of £ -50 but 20 only out of the Id ant in working order, the oth- r 2U being practically usele.-s. It is on the books of the B'LARD of Health that JI> money sh ill be p.ii i tor hydrants that (I ) not work, but the Water Companv send in their bill for th«^ useless contrivances, and always get their full pav. There was a .scarcity of water iu Bangor twelve years ago, and the Water Company at that time said that they could not give a constant supply on account of the great waste going on but acc-rdinii to the testi- mony of out the oun ratepayers of Bau^or v\ere proved guilty, in spite of the wholesale assertions of the ater C uupanv. (Loud cheers.)

Mr. John ( Jiirtith read the resolution, which is as IOUOWS Ttiat this meecm respectfully suhmits that the Board of Health has no power to employ a special engineer, at the expense of the ratepayers, to examine the Watei Works, for the purpose of ascertaining the deficiency in the (if water for the town, and hopes tInt ii th" respected Chairman of that Board will press the motion of winch he gave notice at the last meeting of tho Board, to a vote, it will be h»t by a Urge ma- jority."

I he only sen.sible thing written, was the learling artid" which appeared iu the XOKTH WALKS CHUONK W;, last Saturday, which admitted that the Water Company were bound to give us a constant, supply <>f water, and committed a breach of contract in not doing so. One writer had said that the wealth and intelligence of the city were adverse to this movement. That was a great mistake; but at any rate, we were intelligent enough and possess snilicieut common .sense to see that we ought not to pay s. for 4s. (id. worth of water. (Hear, hear.) Much noise is made about water being wasted, but these parties dare not speak of the Hailvvav Station, where the water is to be hail in abundance, aud where also the 1000 gdlons are wasted. lie concluded by moving "Tuat a fUlld be raised and a committee, con- sisting of the following gentlemen, with power to add to their numbtr, elected, to take such steps as they may think necessary, in order to enforce the ater Company {in case the Board of Health may decline to do so) to provide the town with a constant supply of water, tie then read the names of 01 gentlemen to act as a com- mittee, comprising many of the most respectable trades- men of the town. The Chairman, in very complimentary terms, intro- duced to the meeting AJr. Thowes Lewis, trondeg, who wa." received with eh, Mr. Lewis, in an da\nt W "Ish speech, said—After such a flattering introduction from the respected ( hair- man, 1 feel great difficulty in rising to addiess this meet- ing to night; for a man engaged in an extensive busi- ness, like iiivelf, has not. got the leisure which he could desire to bestow upon such an important and momentous question as we have under consideration this night However, Mr. Roberts and myself have been spending some hours in examining the minutes of the Board ul Health, and we traced the history of this dispute to the year 1S"> I, — 12 years ago—when it lirst bewail. W e (ind that a highly respected geutleinau was at. th it lime complaining of the scarcity of water, when the town was very small compared to what it is now. In looking over the minutes we.quite inadvertently came ac os; the following, which shows how the Company acted at that j COl'Y OF MINUTES, DF.f. 28, 1. I "A letter from Mr. Win. I anveoed, Bangor, was read, complaining of the want of supply of water, and stating that he had uot a sutiicient supply for sanitary purpo>es." This shows that there was a dispute going on even then between the Water Company and the Board of Health, and according t" this minute the members of the Hoard acted more sternly at that time, than they are disposed to do at present. I will also read to you the following iiiiiiiite COPV OK MINTTKS, JAN'. 11, ISO"). I "Present—James Wyatt, )'?p in the "hair, A, J. ])odson, Ksq., K. M. (irfttith, Ksq.—A letter from Mr. Uregory,Secretary to the Bangor Gas and Water Com nany, dated the Nth niftt., iu reply to one from this Hoard on the 30th Decen)ber(ast was read. I'll" sub- ject referred to in the letter was very fully inquired into, and the following order was made. That the Clerk be directed to acknowledge the receipt of the above communication, and inform the Directors of the Water and Has Company that this Board regret there should a?i-.e any misunderstanding between the two Boards, at the same time to inform thein that this Board consider that Mr. Johnson had acted rightly in reporting to this Board the inefHeieut state of the. water •supply, as the effectual working of the Drainage Works its the effeetti:Ll of the \)I,ks tirely on a supply of water; that this )!?nt understand Mr. Johnson has nothing whatever to do with the sup- ply of water, that Mr. Koberts is entrusted with the.sole manag-uncut of that department. That the Clerk be, also, directed to "tate t hat the reply from the Directors is not satisfactory, inasmuch as it says nothing about water supply at tiarth, vvlrich is much wanted, and that Mr. Johnson's report ill that respect was also well found- ed. Th it the Cleik also state that, agreeably with the expressed widi of the Directors, this Board do, ami have hereby ordered that the letter received fmlll them shall be published, but at the same time Mr. Johnson's ex- planation shall also be published, which the B »ard consider fair. JAMI:S WYATT, Presiding Chairman." Iu this minute the Board is made to speak very s uvts- tieally, aud expresses its opinion very plainly, that Mr. Hugh Roberts was to look after the supply of water and n >t them. It is my desire to luake my remarks in the spirit recommended by the editor ot the XOKTH AI.IJS CintoNici.K, and without resorting to personalities. You must not expect trom me to-night much oratory and eiorpieueo, fqr I will conltne my-elf to the stating ot pLuu hct., in a cool and deliberate manner. I am h mud to s.av t h it \V" ire greatly indebted to Mr. D >ug las, the respected e litor and proprietor of the ilangor paper, for his kindness and liberality m publishing whit was requested of him, alll that tuo, it must be admit- ted, in the face of t s Iliowtizit fierce atlt ick. i 1 he Chairman here called tor cheers for Nlr. Douglas, which were heartily given.) Although the paper is conduct, d ,-it Conservative principles, still it is possible for a Con- servative to be in reality more liberal than some pirties who profess to belong to the great Liberal paity. (! b ar, hear.) Important facts, which are Well worthy of our consideration, have appeared i i the leader ot the Bangor paper of last week. That leading arti :le >ays it would be well f T us to enquire whether there is such a wrnte of water as is asserted by the Water Company. It is not fair tint any ,ii(, lioiil,l expect an answer to that question from us. It there is waste, the Company and not us, should prove it, in-re the assertion is made bvthein. Another question, asked by the editor of the Bangor paper is, "Do th-y -supply u, with 4SO.000 gallons of water (very day?" It is not our duty to prove this again, we deny it, and we have no right to trespass on the propel ty of the Company, if we desired to prove it. Another question asked in that arth-le is, What is the average number of gallons per he id sup- plied in other towns (" and that question will be answer- ed bv us tonight. The W,iter Company appears very desirous of having proofs from us aud not assertions, but perhaps the Water Company will not disbelieve the returns of the Registrar General, who made the follow- ing lvmatk s in his returns tor the 20th of last month '• The health of London voi-y much up m the, inHow of pure water and the outflow of impure sewage. The nine water companies liave, according to their rü- turns, supplied 100,801,071 gallons daily on au average in the London area during titc month of September. That stitement is made on the authority of the government. The Water Company, through the me- dium of the paper, for we get no explanations from them except through that source, say that twelve gallons per he.Ki W"11(1 be enough for all purposes, whereas in London thirty four gallons are considered insuilicient. Have we therefore no grounds for complaint with the twelve gallons they expect us to take ? There is one other thing in the conduct of the Water Company which appears to me very singular, namely, that they dare not. say any thing publicly in recommendation of these new cisterns. Is it possible that they hav" made a contract with Messrs. Guest and Chrimes, of Botherhaiu, fi)r it supply of these cisterns, with- out knowing what kind of thing" they were > Mr. Lewis then proceeded to quote extracts trom Mr White's letter which appeared in the i'hroni<K>, and to descant critically thereup on. He next adveriel to an- other letter, not written by Mr. White, but which to a e, rttiii extent defended him, and finally read the follow- ing extract The two boards (the B<»ard of Health and the Water Company) agree toco-operate in adopting a simple method winch in other towns had been success- fully tried in cheeking the enormous waste known to exist in Bangor." Mr. Lewis tlieii addressing the reporters, said -Mr. Richards, 1 am going to ask a question, and I wish you to put down what I say—exactly wlllt I <ay and I wallt you to send a copy of it to Mr. White I so that he may be enabled to reply to it, ill ttiv, Ilk-Xt number of the Cbiouirlc. Xow the Water Company j and Mr. White have insisted that the ratepayers of Bangor should put up a cistern recommended by them- selves, and the company moreover state that the said cistern has, in other tor a*, bsen successfully tried in checking enormous waste of water." Now I am pre- pared to state that in no other town" whatever, whether in Kngland, Scotland, Ireland, or in any other town in the wnrld, ha this cistern ever been tried save in the CiJy of Bangor. It ha# been tried in Bangor and we all know with what results. This I state positively ami 1 challenge Mr. White or any one else to deny it. I wish then, to ask the question of Mr. White in what town the cistern has been put up and used,and wln-re it has been successfully tried f" I ass -rt that it has not been tried anywh-re but in Bangor, an I I challenge Hugh Roberts and Divid White to pr »ve il. | Pro- longed applause.) But this question becomes a most serious one when we look at it iu a proper light, The inconvenience it causes, as nhown at the h.t meeting, is very great, but th" danger it cau>-s is mueh greater. If a lire, a mere .spark at lirst perhaps, should oC< ur ill :1 house, when th" W iter was not in the pipes, that house would most certainly be destroyed. (Voice, \es, and the whole town ton, perhaps. ) Of it 'iMUi;al error n m.v uddiess ;it the Penrhyn Hall, on Tnesil:ty, in onottias the three i ompanic? of the smith side of bond e The wh«>V Co'iip-uihs uniicd .supply lona per head.—T. L. would. It is possible also that we should be visited by the cholera and if that terrible scourge should appear among us—have we that supply of water which would be most urgently required ill SIICII all Vill,'I",Viiey ? Every* body knows that nothing is so much required in times of cholera as a plent.ful supply of clean and pure water, and if that is the cise, scores of the inhabitants of Bangor would be in danger of being swept away from the face of the earth on account of the scarcity of water that they have to endure. (Cheers.) It is said in the paper that a contract has been entered into between the company and the ratepayers which provides that we .should have a constant supply, and the paper further states, "which contract has not been fulfilled." Are you willing that this company should get awav scot free without giving us a supply of water in return for the money we pay them ((.Ties of No.") They had been allowed to break their Contract for twelve years, and it was contrary to all reason that they should be Buffered to do so any longer. (Cheers.) They could not be sympathised with, fur water was to be had in abundance m the River Caseg, and if only a little more money was spent, a constant supply could be ensured. They get very 1arg.. dividends, so they can't have any excuse. In a neighbouring town, Carnarvon, the ftate of things is very different, and in a letter to Mr Henry Jones, l'enlan Mills, Mr. J. O. Crifli'h, grocer, Carnar- von, states that hi yearly water rate i. only 1 whilst Mr. Jones, in Bangor, has to pay 2.0s. Id. a year for his water. In Carnarvon a constant supply is given, whilst in lUugor we only get our water when this company thinks lit. It is evident to every one that there is all inadequate supply of water in Bangor, as is shown by the returns of the Registrar-General, which ought to cOllviuee lVlry disinterested observer. (Cheers.) In one of his letters, Mr. White has been kind enough to refer lis to Messrs. Guest and Chrimes, the makers of the cistern and we at once acted on that suggestion. If anybody desired to know anything about the cistern of Messrs. Guest and Chrimes here is the plan for them to look over. What I blame the Board of Health for is, that they have been so arbitrary iu their measures. The Bangor paper says the Board of Health only recommended the cisterns. He then referred to the minutes of the Boaid. and read them, after which he proceeded as c;tit bt, more decided than that. (Hear, hear.) I blame them also for accept- ing the representations of the Water Company so very histily. Those representations were made by Mr. 1.? t i v. White, and f can pmy" that they are incorrect. Those represent itiotis say that the cisterns were in use in Liverpool, Leeds, Ac., but the fact is, these cisterns are not in use anywhere, an 1 the Buigor cisterns were so worthless that Messrs. Guest an I Ciirim -s did not think it worth their while to make a phn "f them. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Owen Evans (City Vaults) in supporting the reso. lutiou, said—his friend, the Jt-'porter of the CnuoNTCLE, had called the previous m-eting^An Indignation Meet- ing," and no doubt it wa> i correct description of it. The ratepayers were indignant a.t having an inadequate supply of wnt"r; and the Wat"r Company was indig- nant that sneh a meeting should be held. The Com- pany had promised the t >wn a constant supply of water; but instead of carrying out their contract, they recom- mended the ratepayers to put up a cistern which they reconimen led and supplied, and he was sorry to say the Board of Health had supported them in the nntter. It had been .-dated that this was all error of judgment on the part of the Board but it was much to regretted that the Board had not been more cautious b fore com- ing to a decision on such an important p>int. Mr. White stated that they had contracted for a 1000 cis- terns, and the Hoard agreed to use their c unpulsory powers to compel the ratepayers to puiclutse and to use its this was clearly shewn by one of their resolu- tions inserted iu the minutes of the Board. There could be no mistake about it, that this-t as an error of judg- ment. Mr. White stited in his letter that the Company did not undertake to do plumbing; but it was clear that they were desirous to put up the ci>t 'rns themselves, and" if so what was that but. doing plumbing and taking work out of the hands of the regular tradesm n of the town. They say that we are complaining without cause; —and that we get 60 gal ons of water each day per head for every one in the town, and that they give us four times the quantity supplied to other ti) wii, having tho same population. Our reply is that we do not get any- thing like that quantity; but be that as it may, what we want is a constant supply of water, and that is what the Company has undertaken to give us. Wewish to have water for our use when we want it. On the part of the Coinpiny Mr. White lays claim to having acted with much generosity. They have supplied the urinals, he says, gi-.tti.4. I)Ilt lie ltillt say that there does not appear to be a great flush elf water there, for they certainly smell very strongly. He also informs the world that they supply the Infirmary tree of charge well, what if they do .sup- ply this n tble. Institution gratis, people don't usually trumpet foi th their aets of charity before the public. The Company would have people to believe that they have acted with great generosity towards the town, but for his part he did not see it. When the Company first got their Act, they closed all tho wells fi )iii which the poor people got their water—twelve wells or so, and iu which the water was as good as it could be, and then forced the people to buy tln-ir water. Was that generosity ? White states, in order to show how generous the Company is,that they had power to compel persons to pay for their water beforehand. Well, the worst of all payments, was to pav for what you purchase before you have it; but in thi, instance he did not think there was much generosity in the matter, for the temper of the town was such at tlu^ time that he did not think many would have taken the Compatiy's water had they been required to pay beforehand. S > much f. r the Company's boasted generosity.s it regards the hydrants —Mr. White s tys that the Company found them for the town free of expense. Wh it, however, if they charge a heavy rate of interest for the outlay, would that be generosity ? and besides that, about 2d of the 40 obtained are now 1 quite useless. What the rat tpayers wanted was nothing more than this —they wanted t> get what they paid for; and what thev wanted the Board of Health to do was to assist them in obtaining their rights, and not to pass hasty motions in favour of the Company, and without giving the matter its mature consideration. He learned from the report of the last meeting < f the Board of Health, that at their next nv-.etmg a motion would be made to engage the services of au eminent engineer from t London, iu order that he may e.xauiineand report on the Company's works. But why need they go to Loudou for a competent .v not employ Mr. Hardie, tiit!ir (,%vii S'(ii,ve V-,r ;tii,l I I e knew all ahout the pipes, &e., and he eonhl say this, that the town; would be satUlied with his report, it the Hoard and tiit) Water Company would be. The Board disagreed with its own engineer; and he could tell Mr. Hardie that his real friends were the ratepayers, aud the Board was his enemy. What the to.vuw.mtedwasptentyof. water, but as to the m-ans, that they had nothing to do J with. l'or himself he must say that he had no personal feelings in the matter m ue than this, that he thought it only fair and ju^t that when people paid for a constant supply of water they should have it. No doubt many | ,1.. t1Ii\lH,ht flicv '111' 1111111 men tn \¡(ll,1 a mihlie RV.WR.^ ..X.W — T meeting of that kind. One person, a pcison learned in the law, told him (the speaker) that their meeting was illegal because it w;is not convened by the Churehwar- den.s--(I'.vugbtor) ;—ami another person .said th--y Would do no good, because at their lirst meeting there was no person of influence or wealth who attended it, but they were only a low class of tradesmen. It had been asked, likewise, why they did not go to Mr. Hulkeley Hughes, who could assist them in the matter. Well, he believed Mr. Bulkeley Hughes was both able and willing to ren- der them all the assistance in his power, but for reasons best, known to themselves the Board did not consi.lt him in the matter, (lad they bean required to go to Lord l'enrhyn, no doubt but they would have gone cap in hand. He would suggest that a case be taken beforethe Magistrates, and so let the Water Company he tried by their own Act. The Chairman, in putting the resolution to the meet- ing, refened to the late fire in Quebec, which originated in a single house, but through the want of water to ex- tinguish the il inies, it soon spread and lai'l the whole city in ruins. Great consternation was occasioned the other day at the Normal College, Upper Bmgor, by the boiler being without OJIV water in it, on account of the iualequat." supply given by the Water Cotnpuiy, and thus endangering the lives of the students and inmates of tiiat great establishment. The gentlemen named to act. as a committee had not been personally asked to do so, still he had no doubt they would co-operate to with- stand the tyranny of the Water Company. The motion was carried unanimously. The Chairman further remarked that the next resolu- tion he would have at the Board, unless it did its duty, would be to send to the authorities in London to com- plain of the short supply of water we received, and then no doubt J)r. Buchanan would be suit here to report on the sanitary s-ate of the town. ) I On the motion of Mr. Henry Jones, seconded by Mr. "umphrey Roberts, a vote of thanks to the Chairman was passed unanimously, Mr. Lewis also said that he had received a great num- ber of letters from managers and directors of .similar com- panies in England, which showed t))? handsome dividend the shareholders received. Is it not high time, there- t?'t) ()?Mid) that we should .tsk for a reduction in the price uf g is { (Heir, hear.) An opposition company could very easily be formed but we vvi^U only that this companv should be more moderate iu their charges. (Cheers') After the ordinary business of the meeting was con- cluded, Mr. Thomas Lewis again .-b'pped forward and r-ud that he held in his hand a letter from a respectable ti (if tho town, and for the authenticity of which he (Mr. Lewi,) would vouch. It related to a certain transaction which had taken place between liiiii ("ttie writer of the letter) and Mr. White, the Manager of the GaR CUlllpany, The writer said that on a particular oc- casion he fod'id, much tu his surprise, that he was char- ged 10 )') cubic feet of gas more for that quarter than he was for the corresponding quarter of the previous year, and he could not understand how that could possi- hly ue, lie thell wcut and examined the gas meter himself, when he discovered that the fingei-in licat.orhad not moved for at least three of four months, so that Mr. White's book must have been made up entirely from his own mechanical farces. It Wa ollly after he was threatened that he wonl,1 <{ disgorge" and return back the overcharge. In another instance he knew of a per- son who was charged half as much for gas in one quar- ter, and this because of the stir which had beeu made oil the subject. Mr. Lewi s concluded by making some severe remarks on the cuuduct ot Mr. White in the above transactions.
