Penhorwood, Williams, Bellew, Cawsey, Lemon, Heywood, Bassett, Cook, and Captain Molesworth: — A letter was read from the Auditor, cautioning the Board not to overdraw their account, and also stating that the collector had only one surety, and the treasury none. — A letter was read from the Local Government Board, recommending that another engineer should be called respecting the Westward Ho! drainage, in consequence the parties not agreeing. Mr. Williams — We have had several engineers already, and plans made out, and the Westward Ho! Company objected to them. Captain Molesworth said the Company did not object, but Mr. Pynsent did. They stuck to the original plan and were quite satisfied with their drainage. The Chairman stated that something must done, he had two threatening letters from Mrs. Pynsent’s solicitor respecting the nuisance by property. Mr. Pickard — I do not see how we are to act; we have had several engineers, and they have failed. Captain Molesworth was of opinion that if the pipes were cleared, they would choke again, unless the pit was deepened, in order to have good outfall. After several opinions had been expressed, resolution was carried that a committee be formed, consisting of Messrs. W. Pickard, Cawsey, Lemon, and the Chairman, inspect the same, with power to lay out £10.
