SWANSEA'S TRIPLK SCHEME CAPTAIN SINCLAIR ADVOCATES THE CONTINUOUS CLR1:ENT SYSTEyI. TO TFLK EDITOR Of THE "PAILY reST." Sir.—1 must agan apologist: for tranc- gressing upon your valuable space, but I Fe, that your notes upon my letter which appears in your issue of to-day cai) for some comment. but before dealing with this matter I would beg the favour of a share of your columns to col- lect a misapprehension which seems to have got abroad with regard to the position I have taken up upon the question of the Triple Scheme." Jt has come to my knowledge that a feeling exists that I am, in this matter, acting for and in the interests of others. This I most emphatically deny. Any action I have taken has been purely disinterested and based en- tirely upon the fact that, being a ratepayer, 1 consider I possess the right to criticise the pio posais of our city fathers, and that I take an active interest in anything which tends to the advancement or otherwise of the prc-iexsioii m which I have the honour to belong. Now, sir, your contention is, thai/ the genei< tion vi a continuous current is far nioic waste- fuS than the generation of an alternating one. This is fallacious. The relative efficiencies at the point, of generation is practically the Mine with both systems, in evidence o. wiucU i mav add that Mr. Manville stated at the (iuilc.- La.ll. in answer to a question of mine, that me generation and distribution of a continuous current was cheaper, taking less coal than »n alternating one." That last sentence I me to go further. What nave wt now L ole us? V\ e have:— (a) Mr. Martin's admission that there will he a great loss in the transforming of the alternating into continuous current for tram- way use.. (I.) VJr. Manvilie's admission that the con- tinuous is more economical than the alternating current. (<■) That the same gentleman is in no way predisposed for or against continuous currents, but that ne considers that the alternating is preferable for Swansea. And 1 (d) That Mr. W. H. Preere, C.B., when acting as consulting engineer for k/svansea, ad- vised the Corporation to equip the town for lighting with continuous current plant. In view of the above one is prompted to ask the question: Why are the present. pro- posals still adhered to? Surely it is not too late—even though it be the eleventh hour—-ior the. Lighting Committee to re-consider theii position. I consider that the matter is of grave import, and I m sure that were the com- mittee to admit that the scheme could be im- proved and placed beyond the possibility of failure, it would be hailed with pleasure by tile majority of the ratepayers. This can only be done by following those examples which have been unqualified successes. To sum up shortly the Corporation propose to generate some 700.000 to 800,000 units to give the Tramwav Company 400,000. to gene- late 264.000 and 80,000 units for private and public lighting respectively. It • 3«re'oy | calmly propose to absolutely thrmc" »«? some 35 per cent, of their total energy; and for what'' Their only excuse for such wanton waste is, that they intend being prepared to supply light to Sketty and Morriston. Well, sir, viewing the fact that these places, should they ever come within the reach of Swansea s electric lighting, can only take about 1 per cent. of the current generated, does it not seem to you preferable to save the 55 per cent, in generated energy and provide for them by suitable means, such as is in use at Brighton, Edinburgh, Bradford, etc., places whsre the generating and distribution of electricity have proved a financial help to the ratepayers; whereas, by following the example of such places as Cardilf, Newport, Portsmouth, and others of a similar character, the Corporation can only hope to do the same as they have done, viz., to make their scheme a burden to the alreadv hard-pressed ratepayers.—i am, etc., ALEX.

DOCKLSlJSiG THE IAVE. ANOTHER LETTER FBO.M COUN- CILLOR W KSTLAKE. TO THE EU)T"I: OF THE "BATL-t POST." Sir,—in my Leir oi the 10th iiijt I men- tioued the different iiitere.-ts this scheme would benefit if carried out. lirst ilJ im- portance ranks the interest of the Harbour Trustees for the debenture holders. ihis body of gentlemen would have to find the money for the desired purpose of transform- ing the present river into a dock, and after- wards to make the docks earn an amount sufficient to meet the early interest on capi- tal spent on the works. Without going minutely into figures it will be as well to name some of the economies that may effected by the floating of the river, and also some of the probable increased earnings, One source of economy with the river floated would be that the present pumping houses would no longer be required. To emphasise the importance of this economy, it will be sufficient to say the floating of the river would dispense with the cost of six large boilers, three or more engines, wages, coal, oil, waste, repairs, renewals, etc., etc. (these boilers and engines will shortly have to be renewed. What applies in the matfer jjf economy to the pumping engines also applies to the annual payment for the Tennant Canal water. With the river floated all the docks would be kept full of water free of expense to the Trustees for all time. Another source of economy would be the lock gates, of which there are nine in the North and South Docks, with all their compliment of men, wages, sluices, chains, hydraulic winding gear, repairs, renewals, and ether expensive items. It is interesting to note that it costs about i!5,000 to renew one pair of these gates. These gates would lie done away with, being no longer of any use. An expenditure, always more or less heavy, is the dredging of the entrance channel. With the propose 1 improvement the little dredging remaining will be done at Morrislon Weirs at a much lower cost than the same dredging cm he carried out at the entrance channel, "with the river floated I am sure there are many struggling manufacturers in the Midlands, who would be only too glad to remove to a localitv possessing such facilities as we should then have. Messrs. Lysigfit's gal- vanising works at Wolverhampton is a case in point. What drove the Lysights from Wolverhampton to the banks of the Avon ht us hope will drive many other works to the banks of the Tawe. We could assure them of exceptional facilities and that their smoke would not damage our hills and grass, nor their acid water destroy the fish in the Tawe. Every new works on the banks of the river would mean more grist to the Trust mills. These works would grow and grow as the town became better known, and form an im- portant increase to the present revenues of r he Harbour Trust. One of the chief additional sources of in- come would be the added qt'^y room the floating of the river would give. To make this clear let us turn for a momsrt to the East Dock extension now proceeding. The general superintendent (Mr. Law) states in his report that the revenue to be expected by the additiemai quay room afforded by tiie ex- tension would not be les than 10 per cent, on the estimated amount to be spent in extend- ing the Prince of Wales Dock 1,000ft. Pre- suming Mr. Law to be correct in his estimate of revenues (and there is little reason to doubt it), what ought to be expected from the revenues of the floated harbour when the trustees will have quay room of nearly 2 000ft. in a deep water dock of the roomy pool fronting the South Dock. Or, put if in another wav If 1,000ft. of quay room in the Prince of Wales Dock is worth £4,000 per annum, what would we fairly expect from the name space in the new dock, depth of water and other facilities being equal'! These are not ah the good results that may reasonably be anticipated. I know of a firm who is watch- iug this scheme closely and will. if it looks like coming to maturity, at once m: ke an applica- tion to place a floating pontoon in the pool for the purposes of ship repairing, and would be willing to pay well for the privilege of so doing. ¡ Fearing my letter will be longer than you will allow me apace for 1 will conclude by saying I have not enumerated near all the sources by which the Harbour Trustees will gaiil by the dockising of the Tawe.—I am. etc., W. VVESTLAKE. Swansea^ July 16, 1896.

I STRANGE CONDUCT OF AN EX-JLLANKLLY SOLICITOR THE INCIDENT IN JUDGE WILLIAMS' COURT. ¡ FIXED FOR DISORDERLY I CONDUCT. PAINFUL SCENES AT PONTY- PRIDD. MAGISTRATES DECLINE TO HEAR HIM. ?. Thomas Phillips, solicitor, who was ejeeied from the Pedypridd Ceunty-eourt on Wednesday by order of Judge Gwilym Williams, appeared at the pohee-court on Friday to ANSWER a charge of having been di UUK and disorderly. The magistrates en tha beneh were Alderman Richard Lewie, Dr. Hunter, and MR .Lttues Roberts. Much interest WAS evinead in the hearing. P.C. Griffiths explained that whilst on duty at the County Court on Wednesday he was called to Cour:house-street, whare he saw the defendant. Mr Phillips hera interposed with the remark that lie had not been tervad with the usual sumaiens, and contended that ho was entitled to one. Inspector EVANS replied that the defendant was released from custody on bail about 12 oclock on Wednesday night, and requested to appear in court to answer the charge preferred against him at 10 o clock vesUerday morning, Mr Pnillips repeatedly adhered to his con- tention, but Mr Porchor (the magistrates' clerk) informed him that lie was not entitled to a summons, as he had been allowed out on BUIL to appear. Had he not appoarexl that tnerning HIS bail would have been estreated. Tho Bench stated that they would not treat the defendant differently to others, and the case must proceed. Air Phiilips ihere was an incident in the court. Alderman Lewis: We have nothing to do with that. You are simply charged now with being drunk and disorderly. Mr Phillips I am entitled te a SUMMONS. Will you please adjourn the caeo for that ? Alderman Lewis; No; you are here to f auswor the charge. P-C. Griffiths then proceeded with his videnee, and stated that when he got out to the street ho saw the defendant was drunk. Me was cursing and swearing and making use ot disgraceful language towards his Honour Judge GwiJJm Williams, and a largo crowd had collected round him. Mr Phitiips Dan'FE you mention the judse'S name at all. Tha Constable added that he askod the defendant to no away, but he refused and got very abusive. He was then taken te the police-stat;on, and was very violent on the wav. There were some giria in the oharge- room, and the defendant made use of Tory iiitby language in their presence; indeed, his conduct was very ungentlemanly. Alderman Lewis: Now, Mr Phillips, have you anything to NBK ? Air Phiiiips Did yau ask me to go L. the New Inn? (Laughter.) P.C, Griiffths No. Mr Phillips now pointed to <. mark on his wrist, aud explained how his papers flow across the labia at tha County-court. The indiarubbar ring round his wrist slipped, and he hudno intention of throwing the papers, "lam awful sorry it occurred, ho added; I hndno intention whatever. I am awfully sorry, I assure you." Alderman Lewis Hut the indiarubber ring was not responsible for the condition you were in. Dr Hunter asked the defendant if it would not be much bettor for him to sign the pledge, because it appeared that very little drink I affected his brain, and perhaps he could uot help himself in getting into this trouble. It was very serious to him as a professional man to lind himself in this position. Mr Phillips: It is. Mr James Roberts: I don't think Mr Phillips is in a proper condition this morning I think it is a great pity that he does not realit-e his position. The Bench having had abriefeonButtation, Alderman Lewis addressed the defendant as follows:—You HAVU been here before on a similar offcuce. We dealt very lenöenaly with you thou, but we must do our duty. Yen willlJe fined 20S. Mr Phillips thereupon asked the Bench to issue a summons against "the officer" for larceny, as he had lost a ring, a gold stud and a knife. Mr Poreher replied that Mr Phillips could lay the information in the usual way. and not in open court. I Mr Phillips (angrily): I am entitled to a warrant, too. Later on, when an assault case was eallpd, I Mr Phillips said he had been instructed for the defence. Alderman Lewis We consider you are not in a fit state to pload. The piaintiff having given his evidence, Mr Phillips promptly rose to cross-examine him, but the Beneh declined to allow him to do so. Mr Phillips thereupon waxed indignant and said, ''I am a lawyer, and 1 am entitled to proceed. I pretest against it. I ask that this case should be remanded for a week. You have no right to ask the defendant to make any admissions AT ali. I am instructed I to defend him, and I will pay the coats of the adjournment. Alderman Lewis (to Mr Phillips): Unless you sit dOWÐ quietly, we must ask you to go out. Mr Phillips I ask you to adjourn it. Alderman Lewis: No, we refuses Mr Phillips was about to proceed, but two or three constables hastened to his side, and IT appeared extremely probable that they would be compelled to remove him out of the court. Mr Phillips, however, picked up his hat and papers and quietly left, but as he passed the defendant he turned round and advised him not to answer any questions.

SWANSEA AT THE I OKAY* ——————— THE NEW WATER SUPPLY. 1,000,000,000 GALLONS TO BE STORED. CORPORATION INSPECT THE SITE. The Swansea Corporation, having decided lo spend £300,000 in constructing a huge reservoir at Cray, and bringing tha water down the valley to the town, 40 "good men and true and a few "extras" on Friday visited the site te see on what this enormous sum was to be spent. The process is usually the other way About, but there are probably reasons, good or otherwise, for reversing the natural order of events in this case. Be that as it may, the Watar and Sewers Committee, over which Mr Aletermnn Naysinith presides, and of which Mr Councillor Martin is the painstaking vice- chairman, asked their colleagues on the County Council to accompany them to Cray for the purpose of inspecting the site, and seeing for themselves ''how tbe money goes. They responded right heartily to the invitation, and at 11 o'clock on Friday a numerous company met at the Midland Station at St. Thomas, and pro- ceeded by ordinary tram to the I rendezvous. The company included hitt Worship the Mayor (Alderman F. Brad- ford), Aldermen J. Naysmith (chairman of the Water and Sewers Committee), M. Tutton, W. Lewis, D. Harris, W. E. Edwards, J. M. Mayne. Gwilym A3 organ, Councillors R. S. Lindlev, E. G. Protheroe, W. Westiake, W. P»Ue, P. Richards, R. Martin, D. Edwards, John Grii- fiths, J. tSktdmore, James Jones, E. R. Daniel, D. Danes, G.

Thomas), the deputy town-clerk fMr Miller), borough treasurer (Mr Edwards, Glamorganshire Bank), Mr Hoptou (borough accountant), Dr Ebonezer Davies (medical officer of health), Dr Willie Davies (Johannesburg), Captain Colquhoun (head constable), Mr Wyrill (. borough engineer), Mr Vevers (assistant engineer), Mr G.

Maoaeil, Mr W. Cleaver, Mr Walford Moore, and Mr Percy Shrctttewood. The day was an ideal one for a journey through the beauties of tha Swansea Valley; and when shortly afternoon the train crossed the summit of the hill beyond Craig-y-nos, and dastaod down the incline towards the valley of the Cray, every moniber of tho party was able to appreciate the natural advantages of the site seiected for the new reservoir as it lay out before them like a map Bat pleasure—or, rather, luncheon —was the first order of the day so that when the little station at Cray was reached, all haste waB mado on foot back along the two miles of road leading to Mr McTurk's farm. That stretch of sun-broiled road eoemel like a slice out of tho Soudan, and tho oasis beyond was a corrugated iron shed, wrere Mr Fitt, ot the Grand Hotel, Swansea, bad laid cut a Inn- cheon without ceats. Chnirs have not yet arrived at Cray. Hither in a brief period, when 500 navvies are there at work there wni be no lack of ranch that was missing on Friday. A HUGE SCHEME. It was a pretty bight to see the grave aldermen aud serious councillors emerging from that shed with a leg of a chicken or a la-nb chop in custody, and seating themselves on the hillside with an assiduity for business that reminded one of a. council meeting. All remembrances of those other gatherings were, however, dispolied by the elattor of metal, and the absence of debate. Apparently the Swansea Corporation is determined to be thorough in all it does. Afterwards Mr Wyrill, the borough engineer, whoso staff had prepared all the plans tor the work, and who;af course had all the detail ready to pour it out to his listener*, uprose, and stretching his hands towards the valley below and the hills around, made clear much that was before Latin aud Greek to the audience. It tran- .irt-d from his observations that the Cor- poration had acquired 160 acres for £12,COO. (Mr McTurk acquired 5,000 acres jjfor the same money, and sold the 160 acres to the Corporation. This is by the wav.) The land is one thousand feet above sea level, and lies on the old red-sandstone, which makes a splendid non-porous foundation. It is enclosed in a ring fence of high iron railings, shared like a huge spoon in the bottom of an immense vallcv, overlooked by the mountain Gihirvoh, tho head of which on Friday was visible, but which is usually enveloped in cloud. That mountain it is that makes the site so valuable for Swansea's purposes, for it breaks the storm-clouds so well that Swansea is uot in the running with tho neighbourhood of Cray for wet weather. On ono day last yoai," said Mr Wyrill, "crar gauges showed that no loss than 750,000,000 gallons of rain fell in 24 hours in this TaHey-sufficient to threo-parts fill the huge reservoir which we ara about to construct. The rainfall varied from that tramendons amount down Lo I' 700,000 gallons on another wet day: anU it is 1M uncom»»!i experience to find the gauges telling that 2,000,000 gallons have scoured down that valley below there in 24 hours. To-day the streams are low; but there is running down new 580,000 per day. We propose to impound that water by construct- ing a dam across the bottom of the valley, 1,240 foot long, 100 feet high, 70 foot broad aI-I the base, 15 feet broad at the suarmit, hold- ing up 1,000,000,000 cailons of water, 90 feet deep at its deepest spot which will be against the dam." (Applause.) HOW IT WILL COMX TO SWAN!!K.Á. Then the party walked the bounds of their, now property, examined the trial shafts which, we were told, showed., that the rock beneath was sound and withoul fissures, and that the water had varied aboqk five foet in depth during the past dry summer. Abont ten feet abova the lowest point of the valLay will be the month of a tunnel, which is to be cut through the solid roek underneath tho lull dividing-Cray from Celbron and Pen- wvllt and the Craig-y-Nos Valo. IL will emerge two miles and a. half away, where receiving basina will gather the water and send it off to Swansea through the huge iron pipes which have been laid for the parpouo. The fall down to Townh-U, Swansea, is about 500 feet, and thanwe into the town another 500 feet, 60 that tho pressure tliera will be great enough to drive hydraulic machinery. A few details, selee:«d from a mass which seemed io astonish many of the company who heard them related on Friday, might be given here to advantage. By the Bill, empowering the Corporation to make tho reservoir, they are directed tesend down the Cray brook li million gallons per day as compensation water, That is to say, that throughout the year the stream below the 1 "am will be a regular fiow tbreo, times as great as it is at present. The area which is to gather the water is practieally the same as at Liiw, 2,640 acres, and the average fall per day last year was 10,000,000 gallons, which is sufficient to supply Swansea's wants three times over, as weii as the compensation water. It is said that 50 inehos is the average fall of rain IN a year in South Wales—Swan- sea's average is 53 inches—but the Cray record last year WAS 86 inches, AT 101 tons per inch per acral which is the correct weight, this works out that 18 million toas of water rolled down the bed of the Cray from Mel'urk s valley last year. This illustrates a remarkable state- Riont. made by Mr Cholmondelcy Peuncll to tho House oi Commons Committee. He was giving evidence to show that the compensa- tion water should not be made a heavy volume, and he said The flow of water down the valley is very slight—A mare trickle-it would take five minutes to fill ONE 8 bath The return jonrnev was made at six o'clock, after Lea bad been served by Air Fitt and Master Colquhoun had takes a photograph of thw party.

SPLENDID RESCUES AT SWANSEA. BOY SAVES TWO LIVES. The Straad at Swansea was excited this (Saturday) afternoon over a gallant double ltsaae ejected by a lad named Charles Noble, of E'oenezer-street. It sceie.s that one of a number of boys, a youngster of 14 yeais,named Savage, of 30, Vernon-street, fell into the lock near the Graigola Works; and au engine driver, Harwood by name, who could not swim, at once rushed to the spot and jumped in to save hun, but instead nearly lost iiis own life. While both were struggling in the water Noble came up, attracted by the cries of the onlooktis. Finding that Savage had sunk the third time he dived for him. and nt the brst attempt brought him up. and lie was laid unconscious on the bank. Then Noble saved Haiwood m a most plucky fashion by assisting him to ,t to the bank. P.C. Kingdom applied tne means for resusciating drowning persons, and suceeeded m bringing Savage again to con- sciousness. Noble is only 15 years of age, and his gallant deeds are amongst the bes: that have been recorded in the borougi.

TIN-PLATERS ON STRIKE. THE FOXHOLE DISPUTE, All the black-plates are being SENT ont from the Foxhole Works, .lId en Thursday after- noon the strikers followed one of the wajons itlie way to the Landoro Tinworks, where the, are teeing coated by the Landore tinmen, bat, were not allowed inside. The sum- monses issued by the Foxhole Company against 44 of their mea buve created much feeling amongst tin platers. Tuis is the second time within a short period for these men to be brought into court for neglecting to fulfil OBLIGATIONS entered into between them and their employers. On t he previous otcasioc they were muicted tn heavy penalties. It is behoved that only the Roneaterz and tinbouae- meu will be proceeded against. WHAT THE WORKMEN SAY. [ A representative of the "Post" had an I interview with ono of the workmen, whogave the following version of the existing difficulty: On March K atocut half a dozets of the men SIGNED an agreement, on behalf of the whelo, to work for tbreo months, with a month's I) notice on either side to terminate the terms agreed upon. The works did not start (they being then idle) till the 10th of March. On June 4th, the men tendered a month's notice, but the employers then stated that, the works not having commenced for six days after the I date of signing, the agreement did not come mto force till that date. The Mailmen there- upon accepted this, and their contract ter- t minatcd on the 8th icat. However, at the request of their employer, and in anticipation of an amicable settlement, work was continued till the end of the week. The millmen having worked out their full time, it is not expected that summonses will be issued AGAINST them. The supposed diliuquents are the annealers and tin-house men, as their departments did not re-start for some time after the mills. The men contend that only one paper WAN signed for both mills and tin- house; therefore, wheu the agreement came into force, it came in for one and all, and if the millmen are not liable, neither are the tio-honsa men.

SIKEN AND HOOTER NUISANCES AT SWAFTSIV- | GAMGEE' SHOWS THERE IS LEGAL REMEDY. T "Gamgee" (Swansea) writes:—8ir,—Be- ) ferring to your editorial note, re hooters and j BIRENS, it may interest your readers to know that they are not quite so powerless in MATTER as many ol the users of such borribie irstruineats of torture seem to think, jadging from the fact that isinee 1 las teal led attention to the matter iiiey have not attempted to even »NO,;CR^TE them, unlike the harbour autho- rities sooie ,wo or three years ago, who, wbea I also pubiiclv cotiipiaiued of the night-siren raekei, ORDERED vhom to be stopped witllis the harbour. Tho Act 1 quoted in my last letter and wbicnl have moved our represeote- tiveu lo entorce reads thusly: Aot dS-G, Vie, chap. 61, "-No per&oo shall use a steam | whistle or trumpet without the sanction Of the sanitary authority.

Sec^ 7. GRIFFITHS, Bird-in-Hand, Neath. 6OE9 !I. We understand that the West Austr&Lmat. Urold Concessions have been emarkably iof- tunate with the mines they have acquired ltv late. The Talisman v- about to begin crush' ing. The Talisman East is developing int4 a. splendid property and on the Meteor* iiiother of its Black Flag Mines, exeelleirii^, work is being done. Besides the above therms is also the Ajax, another Black Flag pro- perty. in itself almost a parent company, (t: 48 acres, which bids fair to outstrip a gotrffc* many mines in this favourite district, wJicb4 have been brought out with a great flourish jf tnimpcts. Of the shares of the above pro- peru.es none, except the Talisman, have am i vet been issued to the public In the Han, iaii s Goldhelds the Concessions' have ft, mbstantial interest in the celebrated Golde* Dyke, in which only a few days ago anothers, "ich strike was made in the No. 2 shaft, varying coarse gold, about the ouiv coarqai thing everybody Hikes. Then there is th-i Hannan Great Eastern, east of the Goldea- Dyke. and now we hear that the director* have quite recently inquired an importaatk- terest in a property v-huch has every pros- pect of becoming a record Trine, even in that- wonderfui district, namely, the Hannan's Brown hi1! South, whose northern boundary, immedlaU-H- adjoins the ertraordinarily r'.cil' Kaimaivs Brownhill mine, whose £ 1 "shares- are at LS-21. The reef in this lately acquired property is said to be 17ft. in width, and of:" great promise. Of tne Concession's" Aiu rein son and Coolgardie Mines we shall say more hereafter. With all these proper- ties, and its dividend paying record (4 cash dividends at the rates of 20 and 25 psr cent.. respectively, have already been paid), we, think the West Australian Concessions tofl^ the cheapest shares of any of the Yv c-stralyHfci^ Exploration concerns in the market, and AA,I the Company's whole issued capital is only, about £ 55,000. and there are no fonnders* shares, we expect to see tbem much HI<-LIW soon than 1|. their present value. A fiftli dividend will, we hear, be declared ret.7,, shortly. 5061' DELICIOUS MAZAWATTEE TEA DELICIOUS MAZAWATTEE TEA Á..a.nÑW of brit!, 47604
