Macdonald, who was warmly AA-elcomed by those present, said he thought the Mayor would have gone more fully into an explanation of the Bill, as he thought the statement he made on Mon day was not so full as the deputation would have liked. He therefore sug gested that His Worship should give a full explanation of the reasons which in duced the Council to promote the Bill and after that to invito those present to ask questions. The Mayor again asked Mr Macdonald to mention those points on which he desired information.
