The Pembrokeshire Herald and General Advertiser

Editorial Notes. The twentieth century is essentially the age of advertising, when everyone who h&s the least occasion for publicity, to the proprietors of a patent pill, and the town council of a health or pleasure resort, must, in season and out of season, blatantly din the merits of tl eir wares in the public ear. Advertisement's alHf rative aid must, in fact, be hugely be availed of by any inrtividual or community, whose sui jess is in any degree dependent on eeuring Liid retaining public notice. Nowadays seaside md liaiith re- sorts have all joined in 'he mad ru-h f- r for- tune's favours, in the shape of a hi" and con- tinuous influx of visitors, as dealt out by the advertising agents. And the !a,7irfordw;st Town Council, and incidentally the laiepajers. have been invited to so cast their financial IJlLu1 upon the waters, that it may return to i».•> 11; Jn many days. In this up-to-date age the rail'v.iy coir tnies with a philanthropic desire 'o increase Ile pros- perity of the dwellers in the various health re- sorts, and incidentally < f viy tow.i Witl1 a shadow of a chance of attracting tourists, along their lines of route, have become huge advertising agencies. These makers of millions who cater for the traveling public 'l e IK v expanding hun- dreds of thousands vnnually in ad\ trtiMng, and as railway companies must at all times consider dividends, those towns which "on':sji, (r hope to flourish, through the attracting influence of the music of publicity, are politely renuejted to at least contribute a portion of the charge of the piper who pipes for them. This proportion of the total outlay is so nicely guaged and alloted that when the books are opened it will be found that the small contribution from the various town councils and munh-.pal authorities has not only completely outweighed the expenditure of the railway companies, but has resulted in extremely handsome profits for railway shareholders and advertising agencies alike. But this is not a mat- ter of much moment. What the various towns, and Haverfordwest particularly, have to consider is whether the return will justify the outlay. Whether in the case of our own town we shall reap a sufficient revenue from visitors and tourists during the next five years to compensate for the penny rate entailed by the expenditure of 9,510 on an advertising scheme. In the case of sea- side resorts or inland health resorts, the outlay would be absolutely imperative, but Haverford- west. does not entirely came in either category. Naturally twentieth Icegvtury advertising has brought in its train the twentieth century com- mercial traveller. In the old days the gentleman of the road was quite content to call on the heads of commercial firms and on private indi- viduals, but his successor waits upon anyone, from town councils and the heads of municipal authorities to, we presume the rulers of the nation. The representative of Wills, Ltd., who came down specially to interview the Town Coun- cil of Haverfordwest on Thursday carried an ad- vertising scheme in his bag and all the authority of the G.W.R. behind him. But we supopse it will not now be impossible for some equally en- terprising commercial to appear before the Coun- cil and solicit an order for a thousand tons of coal, a new gasometer, an electric installation, or some other requirement of an up-to-date munici- pal authority. Time is a valuable requisite even with town councils, and we sincerely trust that jn the petoote future the up-to-date commercial t traveller will not have been found to have con- stituted himself such a nuisance as to require hanging outside the Council Chamber—perhaps not a commerc'al traveller—but the familiar legend- NO CANVASSERS ADMITTED. As to the scheme of advertising. It would appear to be Hobson's choice. The Great Wes- tern Railway Company in this matter, as in others, hold the town in the hollow of their hand. What will be the total cost of the scheme? There is the £ 510 spread over a period of five years, and in addition the local tradesmen and hotel pro- prietors will be expected to contribute generous financial support to the various schemes. To a Town Council already over-burdened with liabi- lities the raising of the Z50 a year is a serious matter. The only way our municipal rulers can raJse the money is by levying an additional rate. And in view of the fact that the ratepayers' bur- den will be shortly increased from other causes this was considered such an undesirable policy in connection with the erection of the proposed new Market Hall that the Council secured a grant from Perrot's Trustees. The only way out of the impasse is for the newly constituted Town Im- provements Committee to take upon themselves the responsibility of raising the money. It would bo a noble task. In furtherance of the true in- terests and prosperity of the ancient borough. Pembrokeshire Conservatives and Unionists ac- claimed the selection of Mr. Lort Williams as the candidate, so that the news that their old favourite has practically decided to accept the invitation extended to him by the Association will evoke general congratulation. In the absence of a suit- able Pembrokeshire gentleman willing to come forward and contest the seat Mr. Lort Williams was the only possible choice. Everywhere Mr. Williams' prior claim to the seat wil lbe acknow- ledged, and his gallant fight at the last election when the tide of events was flowing against the Conservative and Unionist cause throughout the country stamped him as an ideal candidate, who at the turn of the tide will admirably represent the interests of Pembrokeshire at St. Stephens. Mr. Lort Williams has another strong claim on the suffrages of the electors; he has been a notable champion of the cause, of Protection from the outset, and occupies the distinguished position of vice-president of the Tariff Reform League. At the next election Tariff Reform will carry the country with it, and Mr. Lort Williams will fight a winning fight. An auspicuous augury of the change of public opinion in the county was fur- nished by the recent County Council election, when the Conservative- sswept all before them, and but fo ra dearth of condidates could have easily secured the majority on the County Council. Another factor which will a tale unfold at the next Parliamentary election is the high state of efficiency to which the Conservative and Unionist organisation in the county has now been brought.

SCHOLASTIC SUCCESS.—Miss Louise Reynolds, daughter of Mr. James Reynolds, Mayor of Haver- fordwest, has passed the Oxford Senior Examina- tion. The examination was held at Swansea in July, 1907. Miss Reynolds is an assistant at Prendergast Girls' School. Early on Sunday morning a fire was discovered to have broken out in a liayricck on the farm of Mr Sidney Dawkins, at Havlett Grange. Every effoit was made to get the tire under, but the rick, which weighed about sixteen tons continued burning throughout the day. Only about fonr tons of hay were .saved. The hayrick was insured. We regret to record the death of Mr. Thomas Griffiths, which transpired at Ct,tleitiartin on Sunday. The cause of death was cerebral hemorr- a_;e. The deceased, who was 67 years of age, was a farmer, and was well known and highly respected throughout Pembrokeshire, being a member of the Pembroke Board of Guardians and Rural District Council. At a special Haverfordwest Police Conrfc, held at the Shire Hall on Tuesday—before Messrs. Isaiah Reynolds and H. J. E. Price—Mary Jane Jones, North Gate, preferred a charge against Charles Jenkins, St. Thomas' Green, of disobeying a bastartly ordcr. After hearing the evidence, the magistrates a tjoutned the case until the next Haverfordwest Petty Sessions. The names of the following gentlemen have been added by the Lord Chancellor to the list of J.P.'s for the borough of Pembroke (which in- cludes Pembroke and Pembroke Dock):—Mr. Benjamin Powell, C.C. (L.), Mr. John Lawrence, (mayor) (L.), Mr. H. Trevena, 54, South Laws Street, Pembroke Dock (C); Mr. John Rowlands, chargeman of shipwrights in H.M. Dockyard (Lab.); Mr. Thomas Rees, cement merchant, Argyll Stret, Pembroke Dock (L.). NARROW ESCAPE OF A FARMER.—Mr. James Cousins, of Clarbeston Farm, had a very narrow escape last Friday. He was leading a hotse and cart along a narrow lane near Clareston, when the horse took fright. Both horse and cart were over- turned, the horse falling upon Mr. Cousins, whose face was covered by the fleshy part of the ani- mal's body. He was securely penned down, and must soon have been smothered. Luckily the accident was witnessed, and a number of work- men, under the guidance of Mr. Havard, contrac- tor, promptly lifted up the horse, and extracted Mr. Cousins, who escaped without anything worse than a severe shaking. HAVKKFOKDWEST Hays' BRIGADE.—NOW that the schouls are re-opened, the members of this Brigade will commence their nsnal drills from 6 p" m. until 7 p.m. every Monday hand at 7 p.m. for a march ont. The hanrl will pararlc ut headquarters at 7 p.m. ev*ety Tuesday for practice in the different squares of the town. This order will be in force until the first Monday in November, when the winter miniature rifle shooting will commence at the range in the Drill Hall. Councillor George Davies, of Portfield, has kindly become an annual subscriber ot the above Brigade. At a meeting of the Pembroke Rural District Council on Monday, correspondence was read from the Rector of Burton, stating that the wall he had recently built in place of the steps leading to a well in the churchyard had been pulled down by some of the parishioners. It was his proposal to put a tank outside the churchyard wall.—Mr Gwilliam, the member for Burton, said their lights had been inter- fered with by the rector, and urged the council to compel the latter to re-piace the steps.—The council ordered the steps to bo re placcd at the expense of the parish. Mr linle Owen has been the recipient of a hand, some presentation, consisting of a large, solid silver fruit stand (gilded), which was presented to him on t'se occasion of his golden wedding, by his brother Freemasons of the Cambrian Lodge (404). The inscription on the presentation, which is a fine specimen of the silversmith's art, is as follows Presented to Worshipful Brother Thomas Itille Owen, Past Provincial Grand Senior Warden, and Mrs. t'wen, on the occasion of their golden wedding, August lIth, 1907." The stand was supplied by Mr. C. S. Davies, Bridge Street, and was on view in 111:1 window the early part of this week. A curious case of a man arrested after six years on a charge of stealing a dog, was brought before Mr Isaiah Reynolds, at a special Roose Petty Session, at the Shire Hall, on Tuesday. James Llewellyn was brought up under a warrant issued so long ago as 1901, charged with stealing a dog from Sergt.- Major Pearce. At the time ot the alleged theft prisoner was a farm labourer at Lambston, but the police had been unable to execute the warrant until Monday when the man was arrested by P.C. Nicholas. Sergt.-Major Pearce said he was not desirous to offer any evidence against the prisoner and Llewellyn was accordingly discharged from custody. The Mayor (Councillor James Reynolds) occupied the chair at a meeting ot the members of the Portfield Recreation Committee, which was held in the Council Chamber on Monday afternoon. Tlieie were also present: Mr T. Lewis James, Mr. T. H. Thomas, Mr Fred W. Lewis, Mr W. G. Eaton Evans, Mr Fred P. Green, and Mr Isaiah Reynolds. —On the motion of Mr. T. H. Thomas, seconded by Mr Fred W. Lewis, it was resolved to eugage a-- steam plough for the purpose of removing the forze on the northern end of the upper racecourse.—Mr. W. G. Eaton Evans drew attention to the practice now becoming prevalent of cutting names on the seats, and it was decided to issue notices warning the public that anyone detected damaging the seats in this manner would be immediately prosecuted. The training of horses was also alluded to, and the Clerk said he had written to the persous concerned, they had expressed regret for what they had done, which was entirely due to ignorance of the bye-laws prohibiting the training of horses, and it was decided that for the present no steps be taken to prosecute unless occasion should arise.

The Tabernacle Congregational .Church Anniver- sary Sen ices were held on Sunday. Till re were three special services, at of which, especially in the evening, there wise huge congregations. The special preacher w:is the Rev. J. Hugh Edwards, who is a congregational minister in London, ai.d who has I t(ot o;tiv ,ts L -tit as zi Welsh Nationalist writer. In the morning the rev. gentleman preached from the text, Ma.-tcr, sce.-t thou not that we perish." In that tone of misery and disappointment the disciples typified man's itttitude to the great ruler of the Universe. Every- where beneath the stress arid storm the whole erection moaned. Sorrow was the normal experience of life, and death its universal issue. The manifest- ation of God, in its two-fold aspect of the incarnation and atonement, was Hi-a^en's answer to m»ui:s cry. The cross of Calvary stood out amidst the waste and wreckage of the woild as a symbol of God's care. -Tile subject upon which Mr. Edwards preached in the afternoon was the necessity of solitude lor the for the creation of a robust Christian character.—In the evening the rev. gentleman again occupied the pulpit, and addressed himself especially to young men. God might and would forgive their sins, hnt they could not be absolved from the consequent penalties,—Special music was rendered at each service, the organist being Mr. Arthur Thoma.

Sacrilege at St. Thomas'. MORNING OFFERTORY STOLEN. Someone entered St. Thomas' Church, Haver- fordwest on Sunday, and stole the offertory taken at. the morning service. In the chancel there are two large windows fre- quently opened by members of the choir during service. They were so opened on Sunday, and presumably not closed afterwards, or at any rate not fastened. Between the morning and the evening services someone obtained ingress through one of these windows, and thence to the vestry, where the morning offertory was lying. The robbery was from the ouset regarded as the work of boys. The police have been making the usual enquiries, but nothing has transpired to justify any arrest. The amount stolen was 15s.

0 Pembrokeshire Rectors Resignation. A CLERICAL .CTOGE A.R I AN. The Rev. Charles Morgan, B.A., has just resigned the living of Rhoscrowther and on Thurs- day last a function not without interest took place in the Parish Church of Rhoscrowther. This old church, parts of which date back to the 13th cen- tury, is delightfully situated in a secluded dell. The rectory which adjoins has an old-world appearance and for the last twenty years has been the home of the Rev. Charles Morgan, B.A., rector of the parish. For some months the rector has been in failing health and having reached the age of four score, he has decided to resign the living. On Thursday last the rector celebrated his 80th birthday, and to celebrate the event, he invited the parishioners to tea in the rectory garden. The tea was preceded by a. service in the church. From the tower of the church a flag floated, while the bells pealed merrily, and by the time the service commenced the church was filled with a large congregation who had come from far and near to join in a common act of worship with their old rector. The organ which has recently been placed in the north transept was played by Mrs. Sam, of the rectory, and the vil- lage choir led the service in a delightfully hearty manner. The service began with the hymn" 0 God our help in ages past." Evensong followed, after which an address was given by the Rev. E. J. Howells, vicar of Milford Haven. The vicar, yesterday, to-day and forever," said: The occa- sion of our gathering within this ancient house I of prayer is a sad as well as a happy one. It is sad to many of us because we have met. together on an occasion the like of which we shall "never see again. We come to say 'good-bye' to an aged priest of God who has laboured amongst you for the last 20 years, and who has borne the com- mission of the priesthood for the last 50 years. We do not. like these good-byes"—they leave behind them a sense of loneliness. But we have come together to join our prayers to God that He will give to His servant, during the remaining days of his life, a bright and happy eventide. What better message can I give you and your dear recftor than the message of our text, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to-day and forever." Jesus Christ—that precious ilaiiie-wliicli you have learnt to love as a result of the faithful ministry now drawing to a close. Jesus Christ the only real saving truth for the soul amid the awful sins and the unutterable sorrows of human experiences. He it is who makes His own sweet sacrament what it is to us English churchmen- the means by which we touch the hem of His garment, and our souls are shriven and changed by His precious blood. We think to-day of the days that are gone; of the years with their round of fast. and festival. To the Christmases with the lighted altar and the holly berries, and the old Christmas hymns which thrilled us with their memories. We think of the quiet Lenten fasts, with their stern message of sin and the taking up of the cross. We think of the glad Easter com- munions when we came together, not to an empty tomb, but to meet a living, risen Christ, who spoke into our souls His own message of Easter peace. We think of the baptisms when we brought our children to God, at the fount where we ourseives received the christening sign mark- ing us off as soldiers of Christ. We think of the churchings, when we found our way back to the house of God to thank Him for the child He had given us, a pledge surely of His confidence in us that He trusted us. We think of the days when beneath the shadow of this hallowed place we laid our dear dead—not dead, for they live to-day in the paradise of God—laid them to rest with words of hope and benediction. We think of all these things to-day and our hearts are gladdened in the midst of this world of changes when we remember that "Jesus Christ is the same yester- day, to-day and forever." May God give your dear rector Many happy returns of the day," and the memory of the affection with which your lovable and Christ-like ministry in this corner of God's church is held will, we know, cheer you in the flays that will come. Earthly altars, where- ever they are set up, will become to us a fore- taste of the joy which awaits us when we shall meet one day around the altar set up in heaven and see our dear Lord face to face. After the address, the old rector led the congregation in the general thanksgivng, afterwards dismissing them with his blessing. Tea followed on the lawn, and the day ended with all kinds of games and sports for hte children. The Rev. Charles Morgan was ordained in the year 1856. He was curate of St. Philip and sub- warden of Bishops College, Demerara, 1855-1861; deputy registrar Diocese Geri, 1858; curate of St. Philip, incumbent of St. Bartholomew, and chap- lain County Gaol, Essequibo, 1862-71; curate of Warren, Pern., 1866; vicar of Wiston, Pern., 1871; chaplain to Earl of Cawdor, 1873; rector of Bosheston, 1872-1887.

Havorfordwest Town Council. ¡ ADVERTISING HAVERFORDWEST. SCHEME INVOLVING OUTLAY OF £ 510. DISCUSSED BY THE TOWN COUNCIL. WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME FROM? At a special quarterly meeting of the Haverford- west Town Council, held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday evening, the Mayor (Councillor J. Reynolds) occupied the chair, and there were also present: Alderman T. Rule Owen, Councillors J. H. Bishop, H. J. E. Price, Hugh J. P. Thomas, W. G. Rowlands, G. Merchant Phillips, Philip Whit, Isaiah Reynolds, W. J. Jones, T. H. Thomas, and George Davies. ADVERTISING HAVERFORDWEST. The Town Clerk said there was a representa- tive of Wills and Co., the official advertising agents for the Great Western Railway Company, awaiting the permission of the Council to lay before them a scheme for advertising Haverfordwest. That gentleman, Mr. Keymer, had come there at his own expense, and on his own initiative, and he (the Clerk) had taken the responsibility upon him- self of assuring him that the Counc,l would grant him an interview. He would ask them to see Mr. Keymer at once, because he was going on to Goodwick that night, and from there on to Cardiff. He might say that he (the Town Clerk) had re- ceived a letter from Wills and Co., stating that they would insert the Council's advertisement in their brochure South Wales, the country of Car- ties, for the ICIO enclosed. Mr. Keymer, after thanking the Council for hav- ing accorded him an interview, said Wills, Ltd., were the official advertising agents for the Great Western Railway Company, and he was the managing director of Wills, Ltd. H2 wanted to put before them a scheme for exploiting the at- tractions of Haverfordwest if they would incur the necessary expenditure. The chief part of the scheme he was going to lay before them would be an official brochure of the attractions of Haver- fordwest. which would be written and printed for them. The second part of his scheme dealt with the question of illustrated posters on the rail- way stations, and he (Mr. Keymer) had brought samples with him. In the case of Haverfordwest their artists would submit a design from which the poster would be prepared. Those pesters would be placed on the stations of the G.W.R., and renewed from year to year. A few words might be devoted to their book, "South Wales, the Country of Castles." They would give Haver- fordwest, a nice little notice with blocks. TTiat book was now being re-issued. It had been a great, sucess, and was to be obtained at all the stations and of all the agents of the G.W.R. He might say in this connection that they kept a large staff of men at Paddington just to answer inquiries in connection with that book. That book would be issued in about two months' time. In that book there would be a paid advertisement, advertising the atractions of Haverfordwest. The, scheme would also include a notice in the book, "Holiday Haunts," which advertised fatfm-houses, hotels and seaside, and country apartments. The circu- lation of that- book amounted to 75,000 copies. In addition they issued a separate little booklet deal- ing with each county. Then there was the official penny time book, which had a circulation of 300.000. On the page showing the tram service would be printed a notice calling attention to the town. That was something new, and had not been attempted before. Then there would be the views in the railway carriages. He might say that they were introducing photographic engravings instead of the present coloured views. Finally ther» would be the notices in the daily Pr^ss. In tho "Daily Telegraph" and the "Daily Mail" they had two columns dealing with holiday haunts in Wales and the Cornish Reviera. which latter place he had had the pleasure of bringing before the notice of the public. Those columns were com- rvled ftfom information supplied by the town clerks of the various places, or from thdr own correspondents. He might sav that the scheme of exploit'nsr tho attractions of H?verfoTdwest would involve th" Great Western Railway Company in a very large expenditure which the modest sum they woul dask the Town Council to contribute w(,ul(I be by no means met. The printing of the 2,000 posters for poplin? on the railway sfat-'ons would cost them £60 or £70, and the five hundred proto- granhic views of the town to be placed in the railway cariaees would cost £ 6 each. In the old days .if they had desired to exhibit a. noster prepared by themselves on the railway stations thov would nav" bpen charged 10s. for each poster exhibited. In that case everything h- had men- t"'on°d was included in the one charge. T,et n:n1 recapitulate each separate item. There was the South Wales" book. the" Holiday Haunts book, the time tables, the posters on the stations, and the views in the railway carriages, and last of all the local erujde book. The. sole charge to L the Council would b=> £ (50 for the first year, and £50 a year for the next four years. Mr. Isaiah Reynolds enquired how many differ- ent views of Haverfordwest, would be included in the five hundred phoioerraph'ic views to be in- serted in the railway carriages? Mr. Keymer replied that there would be three plates. The designs would be first of all sub- mitted to the Town Council. It was because of the work involved to the artistes in the alteration of the various designs that the charge for the first year was £60. Otherwise it would have been jE50 for five years. They thought, however, that that outlay ought to be met by the Town Coun- cils. As regarded the brochure, which was practi- cally a local guide, it would be prepared free of expense, and his firm would expect to recoup their outlay from the advertisements, to be col- lected in the town. It would be a splendid medium of publicity, and he thought the trades- men of Haverfordwest would be sufficiently public- spirited to advertise in it. It would draw num- bers of visitors, and if the town had eligible resi- dential sites to offer would doubtless secure many new residents. All that they required was for the Council to permit a letter to the tradesmen to be circulated drawing their attention to the book, and asking them to advertise. In reference to the pars in the daily Press, it was the rule that no paragraph would be inserted about a place unless it was sufficiently important to possess several important hotels, which paid a certain sum for the announcement. He was sure there was enough public spirit amongst the hotel proprietors of Haverfordwest to carry that part of the scheme through successfully. Mr. 1. Reynolds asked how many copies of the local guide book would be printed? Mr. Keymer replied three or four thousand. The publication would cost about iE25 to produce, and he was sure they would get. twenty adver- tisers to take a page advertisement at 30s. each. Mr. Reynolds: How long would the advertise- ments hold good for. When would a further edi- tion of thepook be printed? Mr. Keymer replied when the five thousand copies were exhausted. Mr. Reynolds: And then the advertisers would have to pay for the insertion of their advertisement again? Mr. Keymer replied that the advertisers would have to pay the cost of the book every time it was produced. He might add that the contract would be entered into with the Council as from the 1st of January in each year. Mr. Bishop enquired whether the Council could not if they chose enter into a contract for a less number of years. Or even supposing the experiment was tried for one year. and the Council decided to withdraw, could they do so? Mr. Kevmcr said he was afra.d no less term could be 'entered into than five years. They had a. different agreement with the city of Cardiff, but that was in connection with a much larger ad- vertising scheme involving an anual outlay of £ 250. He might say that they had a very large advertising scheme in hand for Weymouth in- volving an annual outlay of -MOO. That was the best scheme of advertising that could be devised to test the real merits of publicity for attracting people to Haverfordwest, and as an expert in ad- vertising of years' experience he could assure them that no better method of attracting people to the town could be put forward. One of the reasons why the contract must run for five years was because of the insertion of the views in the railway carriages. Every time they put views in a. railway carriage it had to be taken to Swindon for that purpose, and the company could not be continuously having their carriages out of use. Mr. I. Reynolds enquired if they were absolutely- obliged to take the whole scheme. Suppose on nrmc;I1"Hnn thev decirWl to adopt a part ? Mr Kevme-r replied that, of course, it was open for that Council to lay before the general manager whatever suegestions they chose. The scheme he had put before them, however, was a compile scheme, alterations would be unwise as involv- ing only a very small proportion of the outlay. He would reduce the scheme he bad outlined to writiing and let every member of the Council have conies. The Mayor'thanked Mr. Keymer for haviner laid His scheme so clrarlv before them, and said the Council would consider th" matter .in committee "Tid W him know the result- WATER COMMITTEE'S ADMINISTRATION. Mr. H. J. E. Price presented the report of the Water Committee, whic listated that the com mittee recommended accounts for payment amounting to iE404 9s. 9d. Two tenders for the supply of steam coal were considered, and referred for further consideration, and the committee ask for authority to deal with the matter. The com- mittee recommended a three months' trial of the oils of the Vacuum Lubricating Oil Company, Car- diff for lubricating purposes for the Council's machinery at Crowhill and elsewhere. Estimates were received for a supply of a duplicate pumping plant, and the matter was referred to a meeting of the whole Council on Friday night, the 23rd inst. Mr. Hugh Thomas seconded. Mr. George Davies said he should like to ask what was the amount of the tenders for steam coa1. Mr. H. J. E. Price replied that they had re- ceived so few tenders that the matter had been referred back for further enquiry. The Surveyor said they had 82 tons of coal still to be delivered on last year's contract. A discussion ensued as to whether the strike at the collieries would enable the contractors to re- pudiate the contract, altogether, or only operate so far as an extension of the. time limit was con- cerned. Mr. Isaiah Reynolds thought they ought to ad- vertise for coal. There was another matter. The Water Committee were going to lay. a suction, gas plant in connection with the installation of a dupli- cate pumping system, and they ought, to adver- tise for tenders for their own coal. The Surveyor explained thatat present the Water Committee were using the gas coal, which was cheaper than any other coal they could purchase, but not so good The report was agreed to. the consideration of the question of coal tenders being left to the committee. THE TOWN'S SANITATION. Mr. J. H. Bishop submitted the report, of the Sanitary Committee. The committee recommended accounts for payment amounting to £ 139 14s. 6d., that a statutory notice be served on Messrs. T. Rule Owen and Son, as agents for the owners of premises on Gloucester Terrace in respect of the insanitary condition of the closets of the said pre- mises, and in default with compliance with same the Inspector of Nuisances be authorised to take the necessary proceedings. The committee further recommended that a statutory notice be served on Mr. Edgar Rees in respect of the insanitary condition of stables occupied by him in H'ill Lane, Haverfordwest, and in default of compliance with same the Inspector of Nuisances be authorised to take the necessary proceedings; that the road in Quay Street be rolled between the hours of 3 and 8 a.m., with leave for the Surveyor, in case of necessity to continue rolling until 10 a.m. should traffic permit, and that Dark Street he rolled and closed to traffic durinsr rollinsf. NoJice thereof to be advertised in the "Herald" and "Telegraph.' Alderman .Rule Owen said he should reply to the comumnicaOion as to the insanitary property l.~fVr on. He might say at that stage, however. tn:¡t Messrs. Rul.. Owen and Son had nothing whatever to do vitfe that property. Mr. G. Merchant Phillips seconded the adoption of the report, which was agreed to. HAVERFORDWLST LIGHTING. Mr. W. G. Rowlands presented the report of the Gas Committee, which was as follows:—His Worship was elected chaurman- The committee recommended accounts for payment amounting to £370 13s. 6d.; that the vertical boiler at the Gas Works be insured, and that the Gas Manager pro- cure the necessary grapnels and boathooks for the gas. quay, as required by a communication from the Inspector of Factories; and that the tender of Messrs. Harold Nickson and Co., Ltd., for the supply of gas coal at 18s. lOd. per ton be accepted. The committee also recommended that the. quota- tion of Mr. C. E. Gwensey, Merchant Street, Bris- tol, for the supply of twenty lanterns, at 14s. 6d. per lantern carriage paid to Haverfordwest, be accepted; that a special controller and burners be obtained for the lamp on Salutation SqJare at a cost not to exceed 35s.; and that a reward of 10s. be offered for information leading to the con- viction of any person found damaging the gas lamps, and that the Surveyor circulate a notice to that effect, and the committee approved of the purchase of five dozen incandescent burners. Mr. Hugh Thomas enquired whether there was not a great difference in the quotation for lanterns and the old price? The Mayor replied that the cost had been re- duced by half. but he thought the lantern car- riages to be supplied would be of the required standard. Mr. Isaiah Reynolds suggested that they should endeavour to obtain 1.500 tons of coal from their contractors instead of 1.400, and with this proviso the report was adopted. BOROUGH AFFAIRS. Mr. T. H. Thomas presented the report of the Borough Committee, which recommended accounts for payment amounting to R,55 10s. 9d. The com- mittee further recommended that a gate be fixed to the entrance of Skerryford Quarry. The com- mittee further stated that two gentlemen would wait upon the Council with advertising proposals. The report was adopted. MAIN DRAIN AT SALUTATION SQUARE. The Mayor said he should like to say a few words in reference to a communication which the Town Clerk had just plactd in front of him. Mr. Rule Owen had also asked him to take that oppor- tunity of drawing their attention to the main drain at Salutation Square, which drained the corner piece between his stores and the Mill Inn. and then ran on to Dr. Lloyd's new premises. That drain had been placed down a good many years ago, and* had been laid very badly. The pipes did not properly join, and a number of them were broken. Dr. Lloyd had requested the Council to put that sewer in order before he proceeded with th.-> erection of the building. He Che Mayo-) thought their wisest plan would be to proceed with the renair of the sewer at once whilst the masons were there. Mr. Rule Owen suggested that their Surveyor examine the sewer. The Clerk said he had no knowledge of tin* facts. but perhaps it was a private drain. The Council had no power in such a case, and th° owners would ,q I have to repair the drain themselvts. Alderman Rule Owen said that if it had been -t L L -] .I. 1. A private GraIn TDPY wouiu IlUI Have HSK^U rue Council to repair it. Mr. Gibbon said it was a public drain, although originally laid down by the county magistrates. The Surveyor was irtstructed to visit the spot and q-A what was required, and report to th., Town Counei'l. ANOTHEH ADVERTISING SCHEME. The Clerk said he had received a letter from a Mr. E. J. Burrow offering to print a guide to Haverfordwest free, and to supply 500 copies to the Town Council and 500 copies to the Town's Improvement Commitf-p. free of cost. The offer was absolutely conditional on the obtaining of sufficient, advertisements from the local traders to cover the cost of the publication. Mr. Hugh Thomas moved that anything which would cost them nothing should be accepted. This was agreed to. M".

THE CHIEF CONSTABLE AND THE COUNCIL. The Clerk said he had received a letter from the Chief Constable in reply to the communication which had been addressed to him on behalf of the Council, asking him to take the necessary steps to prosecute in case of nuisances and damage to the Council's property. The Chief Constable asked them to empower him to proceed under the Gas Act. The Clerk explained that the provisions of section 84 contained 55 separate paragraphs, and formed practically the Council's bye-laws. Since the control of the police had been transferred from the town to the county the Corporation had no officers to enforce their bve-laws. Some of the provisions of the Gas Act alluded to were obsolete, but in the main it constituted a fairly reasonable set of bve-laws. Mr. Hush Thomas proposed that the powers asked for be conferred on the Chief Constable. Mr. H. J. E. Pricp seconded. Mn George DavRs thought they might b? signing away their liberties. He was not willing to transfer those powers to the police until he had made himsplf familiar with th" clauses of the Gas Act. He proposed that the matter be de- ferred for n month.

To the Mayor and Corporation of Haverfordwest. Sir and Gentlemen,—1 beg to submit to you the following brief report on the advisability ot adopt- ing a sunction gas plant at your pumping station as a power for pumping and as a means of dupli- cating your system.. I have gathered information from seven or eight firms who are well-known makers of suction gas plants, and whose plants have been installed for nearly every description power work. Some of these firms are also makers of pumps suitable for working at your pumping station, whilst others are not.. There appears to be very little to choose between the suction gas plants of the different makers, as they are based on one general principle. But with gas engines, of course, there are several different type. There is now on the market a high speed vertical gas engine made by E. S. Hindley and Sons, of Burton, Dorset, for which the makers claim a very high state of efficiency. This engine is, I believe, practically a new production. Al- though the makers state it has been experimented with for three or four years at their works, they cannot refer me to any that have been actually working for any length of time. i.. After summarising the information obtained from the various firms, I have no doubt in my mind that the National Gas Engine Company s suction gas plant and horizontal gas engine is one of the best made. and they have a. very large num- j ber of installations all over the country. As re- gards pumps suitable for your pumping station: The vertical treble barrel high-speed pump, made and supplied by the Excelsior; Engineering Com- pany, of Stroud. appears to be one of the best; it. is a belt driven pump. and has no gearing to break or get out of order. I have see one of these pumps working under similar conditions to what is required at your pumping station, and I was much impressed by the easy and smooth way in which it did its work. The National Gas Engine Company and the Excelsior Sngineering Company are quite prepared to work in conjunction as they have done in several other places. At Stroud there is a pumping station which has been supplied by these firms, giving good results as regards simplicity and reliability of working and economy. With reference to the cost of a complete new plant, I estimate the cost of a 4in. brake horse- power suction producer gas plant, gas engine of the same capacity and pumps capable of deliver- ing 14,000 gallons of water through the exist- ing raising main, including concrete foundations and fixing complete ready for starting, as follows:— Suction gas plant and gas engine. X630 0 0 Belt driven pump 155 0 0 Concrete foundations 40 0 0 Haulage and fixing 60 0 0 Belt, 15 0 0 Suction and delivery pipes, etc. 10 0 0 Contingencies (say) I. 20 0 0 iC630 0 0 As to cost of working :—To lift 14,000 gallons per hour through the existing rising main to the Portfield Reservoir will take about 24 B.H. power, or say 25. During the last seven weeks there has been 6,301,000 gallons pumped (according to the registering of the meter), or all average of 150,000 gallons per day for each working day. The pumps have been worked on an average 12 hours a day, or 72 hours per week, lifting 12,500 gallons per hour. If a pump capable of lifting 14,000 gallons per hour be adopted the same amount of water could be pumped in less than 10¡ hours per day. I estimate the fuel consumption for this work at lilbs. anthracite per brake horse-power per hour, and allowing for 11 hours working a day equals 2,062albs. per week, or say one ton, at 24s. per ton, equals £62 8s. a year:- Lubricating oil, 100 galls., at Is. 6d. £7 10 0 Coke for purifier 2 0 0 Engine driver, at 30s. per week 78 0 0 Other labour 10 0 0 Allow 10 per cent. outlay for repay- ment of loans, interest, and de- preciation 63 0 0 Allow for small contingencies 10 0 0 £ 232 18 0 According to last year's financial statement the cost of pumping for the year was £429 2s. 4d., but as far as I am aware there is no record of the quantity pumped. The expenses incurred in pumping for the first quarter of the current year amounted to F,181 15s. lid. This excess is, I be- lieve, largely due to the payment of small bills for coals that had not been presented in their proper course. Taking into consideration the expenses incurred at the Pumping Station during the last five quar- ters, works out at the rate of Z488 14s. 8d. a year. Compared with this estimate of £232 18c., shows a saving of iC255 16s. 8d. a year. You will observe that my estimate for working is based on the quantity of water pumped during seven weeks in the middle of the summer, which is a considerable quantity over what is required if based on the whole year. Thus allowing a safe margin for working contingencies. I regret I have not yet been able to ascertain what period the Local Government Board would be likely to sanction a loan for. But one firm states that 2^ per cent. is ample for the upkeep and repairs, and I consider the amount allowed in the estimate sufficient for all purposes. In conclusion I shall be pleased to gather any further information you may require in the mat- ter. And as I know of several waterworks pump- ing stations in the South and South-West of Eng- land where suction gas is the power used, I will gladly visit any of these places during my holi- (lays and report fully with statistics on its work- ing if you will allow me out-of-pocket travelling expenses incurred therein. I am Sir and Gentlemen. Your obedient servant, W. BEVANS, A.R.S.I., Borough Surveyor. The Mayor said that at the committee meet- ing it was considered very advisable that the Surveyor's offer to visit the various places were a. suction g&e plant was in use should be &c- eepW. Mr. 1. Reynolds agreed. The Surveyor had pre- sented a very interesting report, but as suction gas plants were i.!o:e or less in the experimental stage he suggesttd enquires should also be made as to the life of a suction gas plant. He had been informed that it was only ten years, in which ease they would have to establish a sink- ing fund. Mr. H. J. E. Price asked the opinion of the Clerk as to whether they could obtain sanction to barrow the amount required for the installation of the suction gas plant? The Clerk said he thought it was rather doubtful unless they could establish the necessity for a duplicate plant. Mr. Bishop: Over how many years could we get the repayment of the loan extended? The Clerk: Fifteen. The Clerk, in reply to a question, said the Local Government Board would never tell them whether they would sanction a loan or not, until the scheme was submitted to them. He might say that when they applied for a previous loan they were granted iE200 less on account of the B200 which re- mained to be paid off on the old debt. It was decided that the Surveyor visit the vari- ous similar installations during his holidays, and that he be allowed out of pocket expenses. THE NEW MARKET HALL. The Mayor said they had just received from Mr. Preece James, the architect, the amended plans and specifications for the New Market Hall. Of course their Surveyor had not yet had an op- portunity of going through them. Mr. Hugh Thomas proposed that the plans be handed over to the Surveyor to report to the next meeting, and this was carried. The- Surveyor stated that he had not as yet had time to visit in company with Mr. Gibbon the various sites for an alternate refuse tip to Scarow- scant. The Clerk said the contractors for the removal of house refuse and the carting of stone resumed work almost directly after the last meeting. Pay- ment for removing the refuse and stone carting during the strike was be'ing deducted. The heap of stones placed at the Back Road had been re- moved at once THE TREASURER'S STATEMENT. The Borough Accountant (Mr. F. J. Warren) pre- sented his financial statement as follows:— I beg to present herewith the four departmen- tal statements of receipts, payments, and trans- fers from the 1st of April to the last day of August: DEBIT.

—♦ Girls' Friendly Society. ANNUAL FESTIVAL AT SCOTCIIWELLS. The annual festival of the Haverfordwest and St .Bride's branches of the Girls' Friendly Society took place yesterday. About 100 members at- tended the service at St. David's, Prendergast, when the Rev. D. Akrill Jones delivered an appro- priate address. The girls presented a very pretty spectacle in their summer costumes, and each wearing the distinguishing ribbon of her parish. The members were in charge of the following working associates:—St. Thomas' parish, Mrs. Hilbers; St. Mary's, Mrs. W. J. Jones; Prender- gast, Miss Samson; Cuffern and Roch, Mrs. Massy and Miss Stokes Rees. A number of new members were admitted at the church. A procession was then formed, and the girls marched down to Scotchwells, which had been kindly lent by Mr. Louis Samson for the festival, where a Garden Sale was held in aid of the Diocesan Fund, and the House of Rest at Llandrindod Wells. The girls had been working hard all the winter for the sale of work, and it had been wisely decided to combine with this their annual festival. The stalls were laden with useful and fancy articles, flowers and fruit. STALLS AND STALLHOLDERS. FANCY STALL. Mrs. Hilbers, who was assisted by the girls from St. Thomas' Parish. JUMBLE STALL. Miss Samson and Miss Gladys Samson, assisted by girls from Prendergast. FRUIT AND FLOWER STALL. Mrs. W. J. Jones and the girls of the G.F.S. St. Mary's Parish. TEA STALL. ',N Mrs. Akrill Jones, Mrs. James, Mrs. Bland, assisted by girls from Prendergast and St. Martins Parishes. CAKE AND SWEET STALL. Miss Marjory Samson and girl helpers. There were numerous other attractions, includ- ing a concert, a croquet tournament, and a Limerick competition, but unfortunately the rain somewhat curtailed the proceedings. At an interval in the proceedings the prizes, certificates and premiums were awarded by Mrs. Samson. Premiums were given for length of domestic service, over two years, and cards for faithful membership. It may be mentioned that, after a girl has been a member of the society for seven years, her card is signed by the branch secretary, and on longer membership by the diocesan secretary, and finally by the Bishop. These cards are carefully treasured by the girls. !fr^'Cpd -ViaS pres,eilted to Annie Roberts^ M,ary s ?a,ris^' on ^e occasion of her har- TV!' ,een a memI>er for 13 years.
