The Mayor traced tho history of the negotiations leading up to the council's retaining tho feesim'plo of tho reserve. The reserve had really cost the city £IO,OOO, and since then the city had had to spend a considerable amount of money in improvements, and would have to pay more. Councillor Barber remarked that as the Eastbourne Borough Council was profiting so handsomely out of this reserve hy tho number of passengers taken across, tho City Council should have some share in the fares. Councillor Barber also pointed out that if it wore desired to make Day’s Bay presentable, the council would have to commit itself to continual expenditure. Other councillors expressed like opinions.
