>From The Cork Examiner, 7 June 1879 - QUEENSTOWN TOWN COMMISSIONERS.--The usual weekly meeting of the Road Committee took place yesterday, Sir George Milore in the chair. Others present--Messrs. R. O'Driscoll, Thomas O'Reilly and G. B. Dawson. After the usual minutes of the last meeting were read and the necessary cheques for the week's expenses passed, a letter was read from the Local Government Board, accompanied by the petition lately sent by some of the ratepayers against the commissioners taking the water supply of the town into their own hands. The matter was referred to the monthly meeting on Monday, as well as a letter received on the drainage of the graveyard. A letter was also read from Mr. J. C. Newsom, of Cork, Secretary to the Humane Society, asking, in case the society erected a drinking fountain for the people, would the commissioners guarantee a constant supply of water. This was also referred to the meeting of Monday. --Adjourned. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dennis Ahern | Ireland Newspaper Abstracts Acton, Massachusetts | http://www.IrelandOldNews.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
