Fragmentary OCR text shows a firewood supply notice mentioning J. J. Long and an event around April 14. The readable parts are unclear about quantities, prices, or obligations, preventing a full reconstruction of the notice.
The meeting on Wednesday evening included Aldermen Chatman Quoping Thom as and Mages with an apology from Alderman Johnson. An advance of £300 was received for the reticulation scheme. New banking accounts opened for contractors deposits and lean expenditure. Engineer advised on China Apple destruction on the reserve and work proceeded. Pumping and expenditure figures were reviewed with notes on overtime, tenders, and temporary jetty repairs. The report references costs, interest, and a tax or levy figure of 42 75-14-2 and totaling sums including £1800 for treasurer duties.
The passage appears as a garbled OCR chunk with numerous misreadings, names, places, and alleged authorities interwoven. It references prohibitions, disease, mortality, and a sweeping social decree, but much of the content is indecipherable, making precise attribution and context impossible.
