PENARTH LOCAL BOARD. A meeting of the Public Works and Health Committee was held on Monday night, Councillor W. B. Shepherd presiding. Letters were read complaining of the cabstands. Dr. Moynan in his letter stated the one opposite his house was an unmitigated nuisance, the stench being insufferable, and his patients had to elbow their way to his surgery through the cabmen who congregated opposite his house. The language of the men, too, he complained of as being, to put it mildly, most unparliamentary, which precluded any lady from sitting in the lawn by his house. He urged the Board to remove the stand. The Board decide to abate both nuisances, and gave orders for the stand to be daily washed down, and for the men to be prosecuted if any more com- plaints were preferred. Dr. Nell, the medical officer of health, in his report for March and April, said 87 births had been registered, making the rate 41-3 per 1,000 per annum and 30 deaths, being at the rate of 15. Only one case of measles had terminated fatally, notwithstanding the serious epidemic, and only one of zymotic disease. He urged the Board, in view of a cholera visitation, to provide an isolation hospital, as well as a disinfecting apparatus. The Board appointed a committee to confer with the doctor in ascertaining the approximate cost of such a scheme. With reference to the boarding-houses, the Clerk (Mr. W. J. Morris) informed him that the draft scheme of the new bye-laws, which had recently been submitted to the Local Government Board, had been sanctioned.
