DfiATH-RATE. t "is reported that no births had taken 8 at the rate <J oc deatbs amounted to of 25.7 per 100.0. The death- rate for the year 1903 was 15.7, or a decrease of ten per 1000 oil the year 1898. A CLAIM. Mr W. C. Jones, auctioneer, of Farm Cottage, wrote stating that whiie he was crossing the Square on December 22nd last he fell over the manhole cover, which, through the neglect of the Council, projected 2i inches above the level of the road. In consequence of the injury he sustained he was confined to his bed for six days, and for weeks afterwards had suffered from "impeded locomotion." He had suffered con- siderable pecuniary loss through tho accident, having lost two sales. He approachcd the Coun- cil in a perfectly conciliatory way, and desired to know what they were prepared to pay for his injury and pecuniary loss. Rev Cynwyd Williams: There are two claims evidently, one for injury and the other for "im- peded locomotion." The Clerk: The Council are not re.jx>nsible. A case ha.3 just been settled in the Court of Appeal which proves beyond doubt that a Coun- cil is not responsible for the wear of the road causing such an alleged obstruction to arise as long as the obstruction itself is not at fault. In this case the cover is not at fault. It projected over the level of the road through the latter wear- ing away. The Surveyor, in reply to Mr Rogers Jones, said the manhole cover was level with the road until the loiter wore away round it. 1 On the motion cf Dr. Owen, seconded by Mr Parry, the clerk was instructed to write to Mr Jones and explain the Council's position. NO POWER TO DIFFERENTIATE. A letter was read from the secretary of the Tradesmen's Association expressing the members' ragre-t. tlr-it the Council had ceased to deal with the stallage question on the Square, and express- ing a hope that the subject would have their further attention. Mr E. Mills: We have already arrived at a decision relative to this matter. Why should it crop up again? I am informed that the Mold market has been spoiled by the restrictions im- posed by the local Council. Mr A. Hughes moved that the clerk replied that the-Council had no power to differentiate the tolls. Mr W. Davies seconded, and the resolution was adopted. FINANCIAL. Mr D. J. Williams reported that the bills pre- sented for payment amounted to L148 2s lOd, which would leave an available balanoo of L441 63 lOd. The collector had paid to the treasurer during the month a total of £ 99 2s 7d. WORKMEN'S DWELLINGS. The report of the medical officer of health, with reference to workmen's dwellings, was re- ferred to a special meeting of the Council to be held to-morrow evening.
