Thomas H.Wiseman appealing against his water rate of £26 per annum. He bought a meter and had it placed 255 feet off his premises on Mr Buckland's ground, as instructed by George Clayton, assistant to Edward Bell, City Engineer. The meter readings resulted in water rates of £8.12.6 for half a year. The meter has since been broken through no fault of his and he is faced with a much larger bill. A report is attached from George Clayton and another from Edward Bell confirming that the damage appears to have been caused by horses using the water trough on Mr Buckland's ground. Council sees no reason to alter their former resolution.LanguageEnglish (eng)Digitised recordYes
