Complaint having been made by the Rev. W. Milburne of the existence of a reeking dunghill in Mr. James Johnston’s garden, adjoining the Vicarage, the Surveyor was ordered to give notice for the abatement of the nuisance. The attention of the Surveyor was called to the state of the footpath in front of the Pavilion Cottage, and he was ordered to put the same into a proper state of repair. The Clerk was directed to write to the Railway Company, asking them to place wickets at the level crossing in Redcar Lane for the convenience of passengers, the gates there being nearly always closed, and pedestrians of structured there constantly. The Clerk was instructed to obtain a copy of the bill intended to be introduced into Parliament,

during the next session, on behalf of the Redcar Gas Company, and report thereon to the next meeting of the Board.
