BANGOR LOCAL LOAliD OF REALTII. I The ordinary fortnightly meeting of this Board was held on Thursday last, November L>, when the follow, ing mem bers were present I r H Kennedy, chaiiman Messrs. Thomas Lewis, C Bicknell, ,1 Kenrauir Douglas, William Pritchard, Mesehaeh Huberts, and John HI berts. Mr. W. Young Hardie, Clerk, was also present. The Chairman read over the minutes of the last meeting, which were approved and confirmed. THK SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Clerk then handed in the following report, which was read by the Chairman. Bangor, Nov. 14, 1SGG. To the Chairman and Members of the Bangor Lucall Board of Health. GKNTLEMKN,—The suggested improvements on the Beach-road have now been completed. With respect to the Glanrafon private improvements account I have to report that such arrangements have been come to between the Board's solicitor, and the owners "f the property in question that the instalments, with interest now due, will be paid on the 3rd of December next, and future instalments punctually paid when due. The committee appointed to select a site for the Friars urinal have tixed upon a place, a plan of which 1 now submit for your approval. The Baptist Chapel complaint has so far been remedied by inserting another syphon on the service. The Gas Lamp Committee have inspected and will now report to you their views upon the Brynteg appli- cation, &c. I have to report having written to Mr. D. White, the Secretary to the Market Committee, respecting the state of the water closets and urmal, but they are still InatHthystate. No water can be used to flllSU the closet pans, and persons use the floor in lieu. I remain, gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. YOUNG HARDIE." TIIE BEACII ROAD, DIRAEL. I The Clerk informed the Board, that the Beach-road at Hirael was now completed and put in a proper state of repair. Mr. Bicknell said that he had visited the said road on Wednesday last, and he found it in as good state as it could tie in. The road had been cleaned, and a drain had been made; and all that was required was that Mr. Hardie should attend to it, and see that it was kept in good order. TIIE ULANRAFOH" IMPROVEMENTS. The Clerk reported that arrangements had been come to between the owners of the Glanrafon property and the Board's solicitor, to the etlect that the instalments, with interest due up to the present time, will be duly all,1 regularly paid, tile first instalment to be paid on the Oth of December next, and for which the owners of the property had given a month's bill. The Chairman remarked that nothing could be more satisfactory than the above arrangement, and the Board could proceed at once, to the consideration of other matters. Yl',IAIZS' I-RI.I;AL. The Clerk informed the Board that the committee appointed to decide upon the spot for the erection of a urinal, near to Friars, h id agreed upon a site, and he begged to hand in a plan of the same. The committee appointed for this duty consisted of Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Lickncll, and the Clerk, Mr. Hardie. Mr. liieknell said he believed they had chosen the best place which was possible for them to have done. Mr. Kennedy also thought that it was the least ob- jectionable spot which could be fixed upon he used the word objectionable, because a urinal placed, where- ever it Iniht be, must be a nuisance. Like medicine, it was a necessary evil. The spot was screened from l-'ri ir's house by trees, and a foot path passed close by it. Mr. Lewis—Will it not be a nuisance to the houses opposite f Mr. Bicknell—No, I do not think that it will, ns it is screened from them by a high wall, and at the back it had the advantage of having a bank of earth against it. The Chairman remarked that the Surveyor had made the vei-y liicelv; and the next thing he si.o dd do was to get out a specification, and ascertain the cost of overt,ioU. The Clerk said he had calculated that the cost would be 1:12. Mr. Douglas suggested that before they commenced the work, that the Clerk write to Mr. ,1. \V. Hughes, the agent to the Trustees of Friar's School, and point out to them the precise place the Board had decided upon for the urinal. It was then ordered that the plan be forwarded by the. Clerk to Mr. Hughes, solicitor, for the approval of the Trustees of Friar's School. THE .NUISANCE AT TIIE BATTIST CHAPEL, (1ARTII ROAD. The Clerk reported that he had employed men to open the ground at the a bove chapel in order to ascertain what was the cause of the nuisance complained of and he ha,1 put (Iown an extra syphon which he believed would be perfectly effectual. He found that the side pipes to the main sewer were properly trapped, and the extra syphon would prevent any eeape nf gas in future. Mr. Bicknell said that he was passing the chapel on Wednesday last, and seeing a man at work there he just called to note what was going oil, t)lit of mere curiosity. He found that a syphon had been placed behind the traps, and he found that one pipe was not properly trapped, and this pipe very probably had caused the nuisance complained of. He believed the syphon put down by Mr. llardia would be effec- tual. The subject tl en dropped. TIIE .NEW RATE. The Chairman enquired < f the Clerk whether he had prepared the new rate ? The Clerk replied that he had not been enabled to do so inasmuch as the Collector Plr. Zaeharias Hoberts) could not-quare up his hooks as several parties in th.. town were in arrears. He should be enabled to do so, however, by the next Board meeting. There was no particular cause for hurry as to the rate, as they were in good time as yet. -VOliON. The Chairman then called upon Mr. Bicknell to bring forward his motion, of which he had given notice at their last meeting relative to borrowing nion-v for the carrying out of private improvt nients in the town. Mr. liieknell then rose and said that he had been induced to move in the matter because he had found that several works for private individuals were being carried out by the Board, the expense of which was paid out of the rates. Now he did not consider this to be fair, nor was it in accordance with the Act of I'arlia- iiiet. W hat lie wished to j.roiwse was that the Board borrow a sum of money, to be kept as a separate account, so that the Board would have a separate fund ,lit of which to defray such expense, which the parties them- selves would have to repay, together with £ ;> per cent, interest upon th" gross out lay. This expense Would inelud.'labour and everything else. The Clerk intimated that the labour charges would be entered into a book by itself, but the amounts would be transferred to the general account. .Mr. Bicknell proceeded to observe that what had particularly called his attention to the matter was that at the last meeting of the Board they had proposed to do certain private improvement the repayment of which would extend over ten years, and this to the amount ot (,0. Tliev had likewise spent a sum of money in linking drainage on the Glanrafon property; and in addition at the last meeting they had discussed the ad- visability of spending a further SUJI of 1:15 for private improvements. In order to meet these expenses, and to act. justly towards the ratepryers, he should pro- pose that a sum of money he borrowed, the repayment of w hich to the Board to extend OYer a periolI of years, which he thought would be much more fair than to pay such expenses nut of the rates, lie considered the present s ystem a great hardship to the ratepayers, lie- cause they were called upon to pay for permanent im- provements in the town, when it may be that they way leave Bangor in a short time—in fact, they did not know how soon, and in that case they would have paid for improvements which they could not enjoy. Besides, many houses were let on lease, and on such leaseholders it hard. Besides he believed it would have another beneficial effect, for when people knew they would not be called upon to pay all at once, but by r h .u ..I, .J, | instalments extending over a nunioer 01 \cais, men mej would be more willing to make the improvements re- quired, and would have greater )?a?)r? in carrying out :tii(i IV(,Ill(ilie W,)Ill,l ?ilziiil";kil) that tliev had no right to pay for such impi ovements out of the rate but they had a right to borrow money lor the purpose, to be L-t?lit a.? :t ?ili'l t » repay out ot the sum so borrowed, the money which they had alruadv expended out of the rates. He should therefore move "that a sum of money be borrowed lor the purpose above named. The Chairman—W tiili has been already expenp- ed in private improvement*, Mr. Hardie The Clerk replied that they had already expended MM- Mr. CI. Simpson said lie shou'd second Mr. Bicknell s ( motion, and in his opinion it should have been done years ago. Mr. Douglas also agreed with the motion, but he should like to know what sum it, was proprael to bor- row ? Mr. bicknell had mentioned at their last meet- ing £ oOO and as they would have to rep ,t'U4 out of this, that would leave £ 35(5 as a capital for attending to private improvements, which certainly was not too much of a eapital for such a purpose. Mr. Bicknell observed that lie had brought forward the matter iu order to set them in accordance with the Act of Parliament, and to get the Board out of a ii- lemma. Mr. Meshach Koberts thought it would be only an ;let of ju-tice t» the leaseholders especially, as the pre- sent system was particularly hard upon them. Mr. John Roberts mentioned the case of Mrs. Lloyd and Miss Jones, both of whom were almost lunatics, as a case in point, of the injustice of making persons pay at once for permanent improvements. It was explained that the "ccouut would be kept sepa- rate, and that parties would be called upon to repay back the capital expended,and also interest at the rate of £ 5 per cent. upon the groSii outlay, such payments to extend over it niiiiil-er of years. It was then resolved unanimously, that a sum of £ 500 be borrowed for the purpose of repaying money already taken from the gener.il rate.and towards further private improvements; and also that the Clerk be directed to obtain the consent of the Home Secretary to the mo- tioti, iiii(I t,) carry out the necessary steps for obtaining and legalizing the loan. EXTENSION OF GAS LAM TO IN BANGOR. The Chairman then read the following letter from Mr White, Secretary and Manager of the GL.'i works The Water and Gas Works, Bangor, November, 186(3. "DKAU SIR,— Your letter, of the 29th nit., was laid before my Directors, on Friday last; and I am instruct- ed to inform you that they have agreed to lay gas mains (as specified in your letter), which shall be done as soon as possible. Yours truly, "D. WHITE. Mr. WT. Y. Hardie, 11 Local Board of Health, Bangor." The Clerk said he had written a letter to the G; B Directors drawing their attention to the fact that main gaspipes were required for Victoria-terrace, Upper Ban- gor, and also at (Jarth, and lie had received iu i-ei-ly the letter which had just been read. The Chairman observed f,at the matter had been arranged very s:kti,f;t(-t irily. He then asked the (fa. Committee whether they had any report to make respect- ing the application for a new lamp for Brynteg Terrace, Upp'T Bangor. Mr. hicknell said that Mr. John Koberts and he had ■ visited the plac. but they had not written out any re- port. For himself he should object to the Board putting up a new lamp there, as it was private property. There was a lamp already near 11 the entrance to the terrace, on the main road, and iil,ol,y ttic-bott,,iii of thelane, called the "Chimn"y;" bnt the terrace itself was private pro- perty.and the entrance gate could be closed against the public. The Board, therefore could, with as much jus- tice, be called npon to pay for the lamp over his (Mr BickneU's) house door, or oil the road to Tatiybryn, as before the Brynteg Terrace. There wa« certainly great danger there, as the wall was not, more than 10 inches in height, and little children could easily fall over it, and down the steep precipice. Mr. Hoberts and himself however, would suggest that the lamp now#at the bottom of the i4 Chimney" should be removed across the road, | immediately opposite the said lane, and then the light from it would serve as a beter light to the terrace. Mr. M. Hoberts—You think that if the lamp be re- moved to the o'her side of the road, that it will give more light to the terrace i Mr. Bicknell— Yes, a good deal more light. Mr. John Hoberts remarked that at the last meeting, they had decided to have a new lamp at the top of the Chimney," which was very badly wanted. The Chairman -The matter then resolves itself into this, that the Board cannot accede to the appplicatioii from the inhabitants of Brynteg Terrace, because it is private property. Mr. Douglas thought it would be very advisable on the pal t of the Board, to call the attention of the inhabi- tants of the Terrace to the necessity of building the wall in front hi/her, so as to remove the danger which at present, existed. It was then formally agreed to ncm, con., that inasmuch an the road before the Terrace is private property,theap- plication to the Board for a lamp cannot be complied with; and that the Clerk be directed to wnte and Mig- gest that the wall be raised, ill order to prevent the danger complained of; and to meet the case as far as possible, that the lamp on the corner of the Chimney be removed opposite to the entrance to their road. Power was given to the Gas Committee to order the putting up what number of new lamps they may deem advisable, in different parts of the town, they reporting that several were now required, especially in Upper Bangor. Mr. Bicknell next called attention to the Ornamental Lamp Post, which had been subscribed for by the mem- bers of the Penrhvn Unll Committee, to be placed some where in proximity to the said handsome hall. A spirited discussion then ensued as to the best place to put the lamp in, but scarcely any two members agreed where it should be fixed. On the suggestion of the Chairman, it was ultimately | agreed that all the members of the Board should pay a visit to the spot, and then and there decide upon the 1 mo.-t desirable site. WATKU CI.OSKTS ANI) THE TOWN Pit A INS, The Chairman said the next business was fnr Mr Pritchard to bring forward his motion of which he had given notice at a previous meeting relating to the water closets. Mr. Pritchard observed that he had not a great deal to sav on the .subject, but lie should move th It all water closets not now supplied with water, be not allowed to remain in e »nnecti«»n with the town drains. They were sometimes taunted as a Board with not exerting them, selves, and that they did nothing but what was urgent- ln Kyflin-square and other places, there were closets over the town drains which had no water to thousand in time, consequently, the drains w-mld be choked up, and then no one could say what the result to the health of the the town would be. Mr. Douglas seconded the resolution. Mr. Lewis—Do th-'closets choke up now? The Clerk— Yes, they do sometimes, unless in those instances in which parties throw water into the closets aft'jr usinc; them. Mr. Hoberts objected to the motion, on the ground that ther-' waj an insutlieient supply of water to the closets and the f..wn t.ncrally. In I/mvpopty, the watei was on ohlv thr-'e hours out of the twenty-four. Mr. Pritchard asked win ther Mr. Hoberts really mean to sav that it would be safe to have closets without wa- ter, and such closets, too. to be in connection with the sewage drain* of the town ? If there was no wafer to flush the closets, of course the drains would be choked np, and that would Lt. tlw direct way to get cholera and all sorts of disease. Mr. Douglas said such a system would certainly tend to create a pe-tilence. The Chairman remarked that the question before them was whether OT not closets should be permitted in the town without water to Hush them. That was the principle embodied in the motion, and he did not think that any one could raise an objection to the principle. As to othermatter? indirectly connected with the motion. ♦ hat was not the occasion to discuss tle-m. We can fir>t afllnn the principle and afterward* take steps to have it practically carried out and acted upon. if'' 11 Mr. Lewis_hatwutueUteem'CTe[n'?aitt)wu)? c.;?<et?,w)m) there is ))? water to ftu?h them ? I Mr. John Hohrrts protested against the motion, on another ground, namely, that the closets were erected at first by the direction of the Board, and when there was no \vater. and now the Board would put parties to the expense of removing them. The Clerk said his predecessor, Mr. Johnson, evident- ly intended to have closets, as he had built them in the wall; but no pan was put in until within the last two years. The order from the Board was to Construct water closets, but there was no water put to them. Mr. Huberts remarked that the closets were put in tli" walls bv the order of the Board but the people in KvHin-square were too POUI to pay for water, and now they would be obliged to remove and make privies in the garden, which they could have done at iirst only fur the Board. Mr. Bicknell said when he visited Kyllin-square, he was surprised to find that although there was no water in the closets, yet nearly all rf them wereiu a very clean state.with the exception of two or three. Mr. HoW •i ts—Are people allowed to erect privies in SkHI of closets The. Cluirman replied that the Board had all but ,1 ..1.1- unanimously amrnieU ine pnue.pie mat no CM»ei> idc>uM be connected with the town sewers unless there was water attached to it. That was the real question then before them. Mr. Hoberts That is a question for the owner of property to decide, and not this Board. lhey can build a privy or a ch-sct on an ashpit without au author- it v. e claim more power than is permitted us by the Act. Mr. Douglas—That v< r-;> u "f the law won t 11. Mr. Hoberts; if parties think &u, U t them 1 ry it, ami they 11 soon ;1'('. The Chairman remarked that in Wrexham they wer much more stringent ill Hueh ii)attura tll;tti tli(!

Mr. tell you that the Act says plainly that the owners uf house property can make an ashpit or a privy, or what lie likes. I am certain of it. Mr. Douglas—Well, then, read the Act., ziii(I let il, have chapter and verse, if it be as you say. On a point of Mich importance the Board cannot be supposed to take your ipxt d< £ tt. Mr. Pritchard said he may not know so much about law as Mr. Hoberts did, but he would only take a com- mon-sense view of the matter. Was it not l etter then to take steps to prevent nuisances than to remove them after the mischief hail been done. Mr. l,ewis Can't we compel the people to attach wa- ter to their closets at once ? The Chairman observed, that if the Board had no power to prevent owners of property froll) doing and building as they liked, he did not see the use of their meeting there at all. If permission were asked of the Board to build closets in a wall, then certainly tb "V bad the power of removing them. If not, they Lao I c I give up. After some further remarks, Mr. Bicknell read the following extract fron; the Act, which the members said was decisive of the question — And it shall not be lawful to begin to build or re* build any such house, or to buil(I or construct any such privy or cesspool, until the particulars so required to be stated have been approved by the said local board and in default of such notice, or if any such house, privy, or cesspool be built, rebuilt, or constructed ay aforesaid without such approva),or in any respect contrary to the provisions of this Act, the offender shall be liable to a penalty not exceediug )iftll f'Ollllds." The motion of Mr. Pritchard, was then carried ncm. con. I BAN'IOK WrF.R SUl'F. Y.— Mil. KENNEDY'S MOTION TO 1 KMPLOy AN EMINENT ENUiNEKK. The Chairman then said that at the last meet ilig he had given notice of a motion, namely that he should propose that an impartial engineer be employed by the ioard, with the sanction of the Water Company, to examine and to report on the water supply to the city of Bangor. He had subsequently spoken to nearly all the members of the Board in retereuee to the proposal, and they all said it would be a capital th:ng to do, with the exception of his friend to the hit of him (Mr. Bicknell.) The reason for his making the proposal was as follows. It was a fact that Bangor had not a good Mipply of water, the reason of which is attributed by different parties to opposite causes. One party-ays that it is caused by defective mechanical appliance; IIseel by the Water Company whereas the Water Co*n- pmy says that the short supply arises entirely from the immoderate waste of water in the town- It seemed to him then that it would be most advisable for them to engage a person to ascertain the true cause, and one whose decision would be accepted by both parties. That in his opinion was a practical way of solving the diffi- culty, He knew Jof two or three eminent water engi- neers, and if the Board of Health should think tit to employ either of them, he had no doubt but what he would give them and the Water Company every satis- faction, If ;I person were employed by the W ater Com- pany it would not be so satisfactory to the town, al. though he believed any one of the parties he had alluded to would do their duty impartially whoever employed them. That was what be, proposed to be done but if any of the members of the Board could suggest anything better he should be very willing to agree to it. They were in a fix, and they should take some course to get out of it. As far as he could learn the only difficulty in the matter appeared to be expense. Well, he had con- sulted the Board's legal advisers on the point,and they stated that not only had they alegal right to expend the rates for such a purpose, but that they were bound to do ao. if the sanitary condition of the town required it. He mentioned that "only to prove to them that he had some good grounds for acting 'as he had done, and in proposing the resolution, i he legal advisers may be wrong but if they should adopt his m >ti >n the matter would be fairly tried, and they would see who were in the wrong, the Water Company, or the Ratepayers. If no one seconded his resolut i,)ii, of course, there would be n > discussion upon it. Mr. Thomas J.ewis begged to second the motion as th-1 expense "ollhl be legally charged to the rate- payers. Mr. Douglas —And that such expense be moderate. Mr. Lewis said in his opinion it was the best plan which had been yet proposed to .-ettle the matter. Mr. John Roberta then handed in a paper—certain re- solutions passed at a public meeting held in the Pen- rliyli I[zL!I, oil Tuesday evening last; but it was decided unanimously not to read it, until after the discusdon had been concluded, as the Board would act quite inde- pandentlv of any outward pressure—Mr. John lloberts iiimself acquiescing. Mr. Bicknell then rose and begged to propose, as an amendment, that the further consideration of the ques- tion be iiiitit that day six months, and he did so on the following ground*. The Board had no power to appoint a valuer of that description —he meant an en gineer—an the part of the Board of Health, to decide upon matters belonging to the Water Company. The Board was not the party aggrieved—they had no com- plaints to make as a Board, as no complaints had been oltioially made to them by anyone. If there was a sec- tion of the inhabitants who suffered frmn the want of a full supply of water, it was their dllty to subscribe the means themselves to force the Water Company to do them justice. No doubt there was a scanty supply of water in some parts of the town, especially in I pper Bangor, but the majority of the inhabitants did not complain and he, for one, should oppose a motion which went to spend the rates for the benefit of only some half or so of the' ratepayers of the town. It was for f hose who had cause for complaint to find their own remcd v, and not to tax the whole town for the.sake of a part. (>n these grounds he proposed the amend- ment. Mr. John Roberts seconded the amendment. He all- mitted that when Mr. Kennedy called upon him after the last meeting, he had promised to support the mo- tion, because he thought at the moment that it might he the means of arriving at the trnth, anll getting a bet- ter supply of water to the town. But since then he had thought the matter over, and he believed that the best plan would be to try the matter lie I ore the .Magistrates; and if that did not'succeed, then they could apply for an Act to form a \ew Company. He would support Mr. Kennedy's motion if he would state that he had a further object in view. The Chairman sai,1 hi" motion certainly had an ulte- rior object in view, but what that wa;, woulil have to be discussed hereafter. Mr. Meshach Roberts supported the motion. There was a general complaint ail over the torrn there was a grievance, and the town appealed to them. The Water Company, on their part, said that the fault was in the waste )f the water; and, therefore, he thought they could not do better than to appoint an impartial person to find out where the blame really wa>. Mr. Douglas said he should support, the amendment moved by Mr. Bicknell. He would admit that when Mr. Kcnnedv lirst mentioned the matter to him, he thought it aii excellent idea on the spur of the moment buthe had thought the matter over more carefully -ineethen. There lvits [L of (.r-ntrol formed ot certain inhabitants ot the town, and they se -nied to fancy they e?dd manage the matter better than the H?aid c.<u)d,andif they could d?st?,by a)))neans Id I them. The "tilt' l1i"t he gl;¡.l to h,u' that iI".I' of f:I eiit in aii,l no doubt but what sub- scriptions would come pouring in. W by, then, should the Hoard do on the part of the whole of the ratepayers what a part uf them undertook ti) (to for themselves ( I V himself, ho should be willing to subscribe his mite or the purpose, and he doubted not but that many tfhers would do so. too, according to their means, The Company said they were satisfied with their works, and they lay the blame upon the town for wasting the water, and he thought it would be desirable to ascertain who was right; but as there was an indcdeiident body taking m active part, in the matter, he should object to the Board spending the money of the ratepayers in employ- ing an engineer. The amendment was also supported by Mr. Pritchard, (III the grounds that, as there was another party orgauisingthemselves into opposition to the ater Com- pany, and as the motion was only adjourned for six mouths, he thought it as well to wait until the expira- tioll of that period, to see what the resuit would be. If it came to nothing, the Board could then move in the matter. The question was decided as follows rort.ie reso- !nt[m),Mr.)?'nnedy,?tr.Th<).<??is,au.) Mr..Meshach Cohorts. For the amendment, Mr. Bicknell, Mr. J. K. Douglas, Mr. W. Pritchard, ami Mr. John Ho\I. I Mr. G. Simpson neither spoke nor voted on the ques- tion. The Chairman then r<?J the afort?..h! communication from the IVnriiyu Hall meeting, the following being a copy ol it j To the (Vutirman and Mc/iJ"'rs of the Board of li<o!th. Gentlemen—Kudosed herewith I beg to submit for vour consideration and information a copy, duly signed by the chairman, of a resolution j??ed at a very numer- ,)?s?yattended meeting "f ratepayers an<t <?\ner.s?f property, held at Penrhyn Hall, on Tuesday evening :a:t, in reference to the notice of motion which Air. Kennedy gave at your iast sitting, 'to employ an en- "ineer of eminence to examine the Water Work," kc. 44 The meeting above referred to unanimously pro- nounced against the said motion, and endorsed the sen- I timents of the speakers, who gave it as their opinion! that to employ such an engineer at the expense of the town, ami for the purpose stated by Mr. Kennedy, would not only be unfair towards the ratepayers, but also a very great insult to Mr. Hardie, your present paid engineer. I am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, "MOIUAN RICHARDS. "Bangor, loth Nov., lSGG." [Copy of Resolution.] That this meeting respectfully submits that the Hoard of Health has no power to employ a special engineer, at the expense of the ratepayers, to examine the Water Works, for the purpose of ascertaining the close of the deficiency in supply of water to the town and hopes that, if the respected chairman of that Board will press the motion of which he gave notice at the last sitting of the Board to a vote, it will be lost by a large majority. JOHN ROBERTS, Chairman. CARNARVON ROAD FOOTPATH.—On the motion of Mr. John Roberts, seconded by Mr. W. Pritchaid, it was ordered that a new footpith from the Railway Hotel to the toll-gate on the Carnal von Road, be at once made at the left hand side of the road, from the said Hotel and also that the Clerk see Captain Iremonger res- pecting the corner of the wall, near to the Railway Bridge. SANITARY STATE OF HIUAIX.—Mr. Douglas said that at the last meeting of the Board, he had asserted that from the different reports furnished to the Board, Hirael was always represented as a peet house, and as a hot bed of fever. This statement of his had been flatly contradicted by Mr. John Roberts, who said that Hirael was quite as healthy as any other part of Bangor. On hearing this he moved that the Clerk produce all the reportfi Rcnt in to the Boardduringthc last 7 years. so asto show whoisright, Mr. Robertsor himself. Onereport only had been supplied to him, namely, one made in No- vember, and during the meeting he had anali/ed the contents, the following of which is an epitome of the facts therein contained.—The report stated that there was 144 houses reported upon :—Of these 13!) had no water supply: 80 were in a bad sanitary state—32 of which were very ba.d; 101/ had no water closets, and there was 6 privies tumbling dowlI; 82 houses were not drained 1(J had no yards and to lo houses there were pigs close adjoining. Such being the state of I' .I..I. tilings, was tie not justmed in making tne statement which he had done i ??r. Bickndl-But that is two years ago—matters are not now as they were then. Mr. Douglas—I have read from the only report sup- plied me by the Clerk. I do not-ay it is the present state of Hirael, but that was its condition only a year ago. What I said was that it h id been a pest house of fever; but I am very glad to find that it has improved. Mr. Roberts replied that Hirael now was more healthy than the middle of Bangor, and than Upper Bangor and had less fever than Ulan Adda. If that state of things was stated to produce fever, all he li:t I t ty was, that it had not produced fever. Mr. Bicknell objected to the report being inserted in the newspapers, because the returns referred to Novem- ber 1805, and they would tend t ) the public. Mr. Douglas replied that he did not see that, if all the facts were stated. The subject then dropped. MU. JOHN THOM\S. BCII.DER, AND THE LOCAL BOARD. —Mr. Thomas attended the Board, and produced a plan of the house which had been compl.lined of by the Clerk. Mr. Thomas explained matters to the Board, to their entire satisfaction. The Chairman remarked that the Clerk's complaint had been couched in rather too strong language. He also produced a plan of another house, which he wished to commence at once. He was told that a fortnight's notice was required in order to enable the Clerk to inspect the plans before submitting them to the Board but in thi, instance they would permit him to commence the building, if the Clerk saw nothing objectionable in the plan, and it would be tinally passed at the next meeting of the Board. MESSRS THOMAS & Co.—FR.o ;INO THE FOOTPATHS.— The following letter was read by the chairman in re- ference to what took place at the last meeting, and which was reported in this paper — Slate & Marble Works. "Bangor, Nov. 14th, 1$0*5. Sir,—If the report in the CHIMNH U; of the 3rd inst. be correct, it would seem that in a discussion raised at j your Board meeting on the 1st, regarding the flagging of the town, a rathor ^warrantable use was made of our name in eonnection therewith. In reply to the question from the members of the Board, as to the cause of the flagging not being comple- ted,Atr.)tardi.is reposed to have said that 44 the fault was antirely owing to the contractor Mr. A. Koberts, who when spoken to on the subject always put it oir from timcto time." That Mr. Roberts, was cornice- i tod with Messrs Thomas Co., who supplied him with the tlag.>, and they refused to supply any other person." | And that M it was they who had contracted with the Board. Mr. John Roberts, is reported to have said "that Messrs Thomas k Co. had promised to supply Mr. Ho- berts, and him only with Hags." Mr. Douglas said, that,4 Mr. Mealy had complained, and with great justice, in his opinion, that- flags were only supplied to Mr. Roberts, and that he could not get s lab s of Messrs Thomas & Cd." Not one of the above assertions ha the least foun- dation in fact, and we give tli,!n diction. "There is no connection between Mr. R. Roberts and ourselves beyond the connection usually existing be- tween seller and buyer. We have not "refused to sup- ply any other person with flags, nor given Mr. Roberts any "prumie" to do so. We not, contracted with the Board of Health for flagging the town, nor for supplying the Boaid with flair*, and never before heard of any such contract. With regard to the "great justice of Mr. Mealy's j complaint we have only to say that Mr. Mealy would; not wait his "turn" for the execution of what { he wanted,and we could not, in justice to others, give his order the preference over prior ones, We have said ao much in reply, at the same thne we think it no harm to say that, it would have been better to have made a little enquiry before making statements.

The Collector sent in the names of parties who were in arrear of rates, w hom he devided into three divis- sions, viz., those who could pay, those who could not, and tho.-e who were doubtful. The list was carefully read over, and instructions was given to Mr. Roberts to proceed against all who were in a ptlition to pay. Cheques were signed for current accountand the meeting separated.
