The county clerk noted the overflow on RS 5821 was due to a defective ford and no authority for a crossing on Lauriston Bar Hill. The chairman inspected the race on RS 5821 and found it not cleaned, causing overflow, and warned of possible prosecution for unauthorised tampering with a county water race. Alterations to the rate were approved subject to payment. The clerk's action arranging with John Pearce to roll Thompson's Track was approved. Accounts totaling £163 2s 9d were paid, after which library business was dealt with and the meeting adjourned.
