It was further agreed to place a lamp at McLurg's barn; and the commissioners were willing to light a lamp between the Auction Mart. and Corvisel, should one he erected either by subscription or otherwise. The Chairman was anxious that the town should he well lighted. A letter was read from Mr Matthews, solicitor, on behalf of Mrs Galbraith, Princes Street, complaining of an overflow by a drain in her property.
