Welsh Gazette and West Wales Advertiser

Town Council. IMPROVING ST. THOMAS' SQUARE. I A special meeting of the Council was held on Thursday evening for the purpose of con- sidering the report of Mr. C. N. Lailey, the engineer, with regard to the town drainage, the text of which was reported in last week's issue of the "'Welsh Gazette." A printed copy of the report had also been furnished to each member for information and con- sideration. The members present were the Mayor (Alderman T. Richard), Aldermen D. F. Lloyd, Chas. Evans, Councillors D. Dav- ies, Lewis Jones. J. E. Evans, Wm. Jones, Walter Davies, J. D. Owen, Wm. Davies, J. Griffiths, and Tom Jones; with Messrs. J. E. Lloyd (town clerk), E. D. Rees (assistant drk), and R. W. Ashman (inspector and surveyor). The Mayor having explained the object of I the meeting, the Town Clerk intimated that he had written to Mr. Lailey for replies to certain questions. Replying to members, the Town Clerk stated that the engineer said that the existing reservoirs were useless— the one by Henfeddau, especially, whilst the airpipe by Capeli was also useless. The Mayor observed, that the report stated the Council might with safety retain the ex- isting sewers shown on the plan. Supposing, added the Mayor they decided on the Com- mon that could be a part of the present s.heme. Th'3 Town Clerk said the direction of the sewer would have to be differed. It will make no difficulty, as it only meant chang- ing the direction of one ground or another. The Mayor stated that the Council could proceed within the next five years. One of the loans would expire in 1913, another in 191G, and in 1919 the Capeli loan would be wiped off. Replying to Mr. Walter Davies the Mayor said they would not be then entirely free, as they had the pavements and the railway loans to clear. The scheme, he assumed, would, be about £ 4,000 apart from the water. The Town Clerk said there would be the difficulty of pumping- which would mean the cost of an engine. Mr. Lewis Jones, remarked that the pump- ing concern would mean a good item. Of course his (Mr. Lailey's) idea—and Mr. John did not approve—that the town had not been drained properly. He did not say anything against the expert, but he may have men- tioned a thing or two to Mr. John. If he (the expert) asked them to redrain, then he thought that would be a matter of impos- sibility. He (Mr. Jones) did not think the expert approved of the system. Mr. John said it wa& unlikely that their drainage was nothing at all, but the expert condemns it all. Mr. Wm. Jones: He does net. condemn them in his report. The Mayor: It is a compliment to the town that these existing sewers are in good order. Mr. Walter Davies did not think they could proceed with such a big scheme this year, but it might be necessary in some future years. He moved that Part 1. of the report be laid on the table. The Town Clerk said it was well that the public should know that all this extra work was necessary to prevent the refuse to go into the river. Mr. Wm. Davies: It seems to me that the expert has lost sight of our object in asking him to report on the water question. His report is a common-sense matter understood by the Council a year ago. Our object in acquiring expert evidence is in regard to the water at Capeli. Replying to Alderman Chas. Evans, the Town CHerk said the expert was told about the reservoir. Mr. Owen: That was the object. Mr. Wm. Davies: We all know the present mains are too small for the outlet, and sooner or later they will have to be increased. The Town Clerk said they got definite plans of the reservoir by Mr. Morgan Davies so that there was no need for plans. It was an ordinary big reservoir, concreted all over, with an iron railing. He (Mr. Morgan Davies) considered that the cheapest instead of bricks all over. Mr. Walter Davies: We've paid for the land, too. Mr. Lewis Jones: When we leave this alone it does not mean that we leave the water question alone at all. The Mayor: Oh no; only for the present. Mr. Walter Davies' proposition was then agreed to. Mr. Lewis Jones then brought his motion that the drainage of St. Thomas'-square be proceeded with at once. Mr. Jones said that a plan was drawn by Mr. John, but it was not to be found anywhere. Some members of the committee thought it was the property of Mr. John, but at any rate if the drawing was done in his own time the levelling was done in the time of the Corporation. He (Mr. Jones) thought the Council were its owners, and if Mr. John was a man he would return it or ask the Council to pay the extra expense spent in drawing it. The Com- mittee authorised Mr. Ashman to get a level and proceed with the scheme in the way he could best. They had arranged to carry it out before engaging the expert, and as far as he could remember, the drainage of Bar- ley Mow was quite impossible. It was passed at the March meeting, that they should proceed woth a part—not the whole Square—only St. Thomas-street, Victoria-terrace, leaving out Harford-terrace. The original proposal was to do the whole scheme, but the estimates were brought out and Harford-terrace. though only a small item, estimated at £ 15—the whole scheme being £ 60,—was left out. They passed to proceed with only L45, and in future do Harford-terrace. After that, they thought that if they could get a good price for money vested in Consols, they could proceed with the J615, and cover all the scheme. In one sense they had spent JE8 on the slaughter- house, and tile Streets Committee had passed 9.50 for improvements on the Square. Alderman Chas. Evans, interposing, said the latter was not passed, and was not in the estimates. Some preliminary enquiries were made before the Council met to discus the estimates. Mr Lewis Jones said his impression was that it had been carried, provided Mr. Harford approved. Mr. Walter Davies: We met Mr. Harford before discussing the estimates. Mr. Lewis Jones, continuing, said he did not agree with all the members of the Finance Committee. He thought they could spare a sum from the slaughter-house as they could never do the drainage so cheap as now, and in view of the motion which was again to come before them-the levelling of the Com- mon-he believed it could be carried out this year. It must be remembered that they had done injustice to St. Thomas'-square. It had been passed that all funds derived from St. Thomas'-square should be put aside for this specific purpose, but the history of those monies collected was that they were laid aside and put in the Borough Fund. He hoped the Council would agree upon his motion, and he proposed that they proceed with the work as soon as possible. He was not against Mr. Lailey's report, but as Coun- cillor Walter Davies had pointed out it could not be done at the present time. The re- port would not debar this as in five years time both c/ill go together. It is a well-served improvement and greatly needed this many years. Mr. David Davies in supporting, said he I

Aberayron Railway Fatality NAVVY RUN OVER BY A WAGGON. A navvy named Cutler, aged 26 years em- ployed in the construction of the Lampeter- Aberayron Railway, met with an accident on Wedneslay afternoon, which proved fatal. The navvies were pushing some waggons by Alltgoch junction, and it is believed that Cutler either slipped or fell to the line, with the result that a light waggon passed over his leg. He was conveyed to Aberystwyth Infirmary, where he died the same night. The Inquest An inquest touching the death was held at the Aberystwyth Infirmary on Friday afternoon, before Dr A Bassett Jones. the deputy coroner, and a jury of which Mr VJilliam Thomas, Trefor-road. was foreman. The other jurymen were: Messrs David Dav- ies. Caron Villa Evan Lloyd; Owen G Ellis Llewellyn Samuel; Thomas Evans (North- gate street); Evan Lewis; John Roberts: Hugh Oliver: Joseph Martin; William Wil- liams; and John Barsons. Thomas Smith, foreman, living at Glan- dennys. near Lampeter, gave evidence of identification. He said deceased had worked in his gang. but he did not know his name. He worked on the portion of line between Glandennys and the junction with the G W Railway. He did not see the accident, but he heard the man shouting, and went back to his assistance. Deceased was a strong man-" one of the finest young fellows you could wish to see." The accident occurred about 5 p.m on Wednesday. On going back he (witness) found the man lying along- side the road. He was carried to the office, and By. Griffiths, Lampeter, was sent for. who arrived in about an hour's time. The doctor ordered the removal of the injured man to the Aberystwyth Infirmary and he was conveyed to Derry Ormond and taken on by the 6.46 train. Ihe railway line where the accident took place was in good order, u- i5 an en6'no to travel over it. The truck which ran over the deceased was empty. He could not account for the accident, and it must have been deceased's own fault that he got under the truck. He had worked at the same place and at the same work for some weeks, and similar. work was still being carried on by other mên" Deceased was known by his fellow-workmen as "Brummy." ■Edward Parker, nlatelayer, lodging at Tan- lan, 8ilian, said he had wotked with the de- ceased for the past fortnight. On Wednes- day afternoon the gang in which they were employed, consisting of eight men, was sent to push a number of trucks. which they had been unloading, back to the junction. He. (witness) was at one of the end buffers, and, after they had .gone some 2o vards he heard a man shout "O nay leg." He looked ahead, and saw one of the wheels going over the deceased's leg. The truck was going at the time at a rate of about four miles an hour.—In reply to the foreman of the jury, witness said they were pushing two waggons at the time, and deceasid had, he believed, his shoulder to the end buffer of the first waggon. The waggons were coupled. In his opinion, deceased slipped while push- ing and fell on the rail in front of the last waggon.—-In reply to Mr Bertlin the contractor s engineer, witness said no one had ever instructed the men to push in between the two wagons. The man was not in the four-xoot way.One of the jurymen expressed the opinion that the man must have been pushing in the four-foot way.- The witness, however, said the man's body Cutler, and it was believed he belonged to the G.W.R. Company. Percy Walter Bertlin, managing engineer for Messrs Nuttall and Oompanv Manchester, the contractors, said deceased was entered in his firm's books in the name of Herbert Cutler, and it was believed he belonged to Birmingham. He examined the line the day the accident took place, and found it in per- feet condition. He did not believe the man was in the four-foot way. They gave no instructions to the men not to get into the four foot way. It was some of those things which it was unnecessary to give an order about. as it would be suicidal for any man to do so. Smith, the foreman, recalled, said he gave the men instructions each day not to get into the four-foot way. P.S. Phillips, Aberystwyth, produced an identify certificate of the deceased found in his lodging at Lampeter, which showed that his name was Herbert Cutler, and that he was an Army pensioner. His regimental number was 6588 ,and he was entered as Private Herbert Cutler, Royal Welsh Fusiliers, and Army Reserve, section B." Dr Ivor J. Davies, acting house surgeon at Aberystwyth Infirmary, said deceased was admitted about 8.15 on Wednesday evening suffering acutely from shock, as a result of an accident, and loss of blood. On exa- mination it was found he had sustained a compound fracture of both bones of the right leg. a punctured wound into the left knee joint, and several superficial bruises about the left knee. There was also an offmion of blood into both knee joints. He was bleeding freely at the time of admission from the fractures, and he (witness) im- mediately put a tourniquet on. They did thnir utmost to counteract the shock by ad- ministering stimulants. Had the shock passed off they were point* to amoutat^. but, he never recovered from the shock, ard diod at 10.15 p.m. He attributed death to shook and loss of blood. Deceased must have blod nrofuselv all the way up from Lampeter as his dressings and trousers were drenched. j The Foreman: In your opinion could that, loss of blood have been prevented ? Dr Davies: No; proper measures had! been taken at Lampeter. The leg had been put in splints, and a tourniquet had been applied, but this must have slipped off on the way up. The jury returned a verdict of Acciden- tal death," adding that no blame was attached to anyone. Mr. Bertlin informed the jury that the deceased was; attended to immediately after the accident by a trained first-aid man. and that there were also plenty of bandages available for dressing the injuries.

40 Years of Eczema I have suffered off and on with eczema for forty years on my hands, feet, legs and head. It always came in a mass of small spots and a considerable quantity of watery matter used to come from them. I have been under many different doctors and in different hospitals for the treatment of the skin (in one for sixteen weeks and it only got worse) but I derived little or no benefit. Last year I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies. The first tin of Cuticura Ointment began to heal the sores and gave me great relief from the fearful irritation. Since then I have used two more tins of Cuticura with Cuticura Soap and Pills and am quito well which, considering the years I have suffered with eczema, I consider wonderful. I can candidly say the Cuticura Remedies alone were the only things that cured me. have already persuaded one of my friends to give them a trial.

never thought the matter required to be brought before the Council again as it had been passed months ago to give the com- mittee authority to do it. Mr. Lewis Jones: We did not have auth- ority to do the whole thing. Mr. J. D. Owen: I am in favour of the motion, and prepared to second it. but I would like to know whether we are in a position to do it. Councillor Lewis Jones has mentioned about the slaughter house. That money will be wanted for the slaughter- house, and I don't think we can take a penny as several things are sadly needed there. Mr. Lewis Jones explained that that money was for some contrivances at the slaughter house. Mr. Owen: Not for the slaughter-house. Mr. D. Davies: We must get the money back from the Council. We have lent them long enough. Replying to Mr. Wm. Jones, Mr. Lewis Jones repeated that the whole scheme was estimated at £60. Mr. Wm. Davies: Where does it drain into? Mr. Lewis Jones: To the sewer in High- street. Mr. Owen: I should like to hear the In- spector about the level. The Mayor: There will be no difficulty about that. Alderman Chas. Evans said they had been spending a lot of money of late on sewers, and feared that they were not making pro- per use of them. 'Were they going to use compulsory powers to make people to join at the main? It would be useless until it is joined. He had known of houses where heavy downpour of rains ran through the passage of houses. Mr. Wm. Davies: You will put yourself in great offence if you make it compulsory as that was the great cry in High-street. Alderman Evans: That's wrong. Eighty- five per cent have joined and have found it to their advantage to do so. There was a cry at the first I admit Mr. Lewis Jones' motion was then carried. Alderman Chas. Evans also proposed in accordance with notice given that the com-' mon be levelled. He explained that once they put it in order they would not want the surface drainage. It meant the clos- ing up the existing sewers which were not at all pleasing to the eye. especially in the height of summer. He had not gone into the matter seriously, but he believed it could be done by their scavengers. Mr. Wm. Davies suggested a coating of s.ton. and a steam roller over it. Mr. Tom Jones seconded the proposal, which was carried. In the absence of Councillor David Jones, the Mayor proposed that the tap in the centre of St. Thomas'-square be shifted. Mr. J. E. Evans seconded, and this was agreed to. The Mayor gave notice of motion that he would move at the next meeting that Mr. Ashman be appointed building surveyor at a salary of f5 per annum as was paid to Mr. John. People, said the Mayor, were com- plaining that some buildings were about falling down. Mr. D. Davies: Could he not carry it out under the old proposition? The Mayor: Too much time has elapsed.
