A Huge Biadder Stone. MT feel I must ma?e widely known the dabt ? I owe to Doan'a Backache Kidney PWa. They relieved me of a huge bladder stone—the largest that ever I heard of—and there as no doubt in my mind that they saved my'life, forI 'might not have survived an operation. "How long the stone had been forming I do not know, but for many years I have bad warning signs of kidney weakness— rbeumatic pains, dizziness, and backache. At last I was advised to enter hospital. "But when the presence of such an enor- mous stone was discovered, I made up my mind to try Doan's Backache Kidney Pills before risking an operation. "Four times a day I took these pills, and reHef was apparent from the start. My back f became easier, the flow from the kidneys increased, and I gained in strength. At the end of one week's treatment, Doan's Pills relieved me of a stone the size of ,a very big walnut. Since my recovery I enjoy the best of health. I earnestly hope that my experience will help others. (Sgd.) 'Mary Taynton. 11 Ellery St., Peckham, London. S.E.15. Writing again on January 2nd, 1918, Mrs. Taynton said: — Sixteen months have passed since Doan's Pills restored m v health. and I can state that I have had no sign of kidney trouble since my cure."

Major Bell said that a. large proportion of i/be houses at Hentoorth would be ready by the end of June. He anticipated also that some of the plant ait the Oil Refinery would be ready about the same time, and this made the scheme urgent. c THE WATER .SUPPLY. -Giving evidence in support of the pro-I 1 poeed loan M :£4,300 for water main cxten- mons, Mr. D.

RIGHTFUL.''I
RIGHTFUL. Bad Condition, of the Gower Roads. The bad state of the Otfwer-roade, bad lighting in certain parts, particularly in Killay (where accidents have happened re- cently), and shortage of water, were matters discussed "at' Gower Rural Council on Tues- da.y. Mr. Rees (surveyor) admitted that owing to the extremely wet weather the roads were in a frightful condition. He was overwhelmed with work. It too much for him to look after the levels and plans for water and carry on road improvements. Other councils had allowed assistance to their surveyors, and it was agreed to allow Mr Rees assistance. It was decided to invite the Swansea Gas Co. to tender estimates for lighting Higher Killay, where the recent fatality occurred.

7,000 INVESTORS.I
7,000 INVESTORS. I Some of the Largest Holders in the Harbour Trust. SHOULD THE TREASURY ASSIST? Various opinions are current as to what should be done in regard to the financial position of the. Swansea, Harbour Trust. Some think it is an opportunity for the Corporation to try and take over the under- taking. Then, again, it is said that possibly Sir Eric Geddes, on behalf of the Ministry of Transport, will advise the Treasury to make a grant. In this connection it is said that it only rests with the Ministry of Transport to re- commend this, and the Government would, in the interests of labour, at once assist the Trust. On all hands it is agreed that the future trade prospects are very bright. Meantime, the defaulting of the interest will have a serious effect, for the moment, on the income of many insurance companies and Friendly Societies, and people of :;mall means. It is understood that there are n.any holders of bonds throughout Gower and the Swansea Valley in particular, whilst, of course, there are many investors in the town who put their faith in the future of the port long before any thought of a great European war, that was to entirely upset monetary values Amongst the largest holders are certain in- surance companies'—one alone has something like 280,000 in stock and mortgages. An Irish Church body has £ 50,000. The Man- chester Unity Oddfellows and the Ancient Order of Foresters throughout the country are also interested, and so is the Public Trustee. It is.furt.her t-lie-fact that some widows have practically their all in the Tru.-t and almost rely upon the interest obtained for their livelihood. There are many others. who have, say, £ 100 or £ 200—their total savings—invested in Harbour Bonds. Altogether there are about 7,000 stock and bondholders, and the half-yearly interest runs to a,bout £ 80;000. SWANSEA PORT'S DISADVANTAGE. I As showing the disadvantage ox the swan- sea, port not being controlled, it is stated that the loss on the Barry Docks for the past year alone has been £ 250,000, aU made gcd by the Coverumerit; whereas Swan- sea's loss for the whole of the five years of war does not much exceed that figure. And the Trust has to bear that loss. I —

| HOUSING HELD-UP. I [ HOUSING -"ELD-UP.. I I Reply to a Joiner's Conten- tion. f C I 1:-11- J. I Commercial Travellea" in Joinery (Swansea) writoes:-Kinclly permit me space to replyv to the letter by A Working Joiner" in your Monday evening's issue. 1 think the time has arrived when the rate- payers of Swansea should be acquainted with facts relating to this most regrettable and, ? I would add, unwarranta-Me hold-up of the housing scheme. I am speaking as a commercial traveller of 20 years' experience in the manufacture of joinery, also as an experienced joiner, a past member of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, atftt a member of the British Institute of Certified Carpenters by exam. at The Carpenters Company, London. 11, therefore, claim to know something of the conditions and customs of this branch of the building trade, and its relation to general contracts. For the past 25/30 years joinery manufacturers have specialised and catered for the building trade, and it has never been considered as sub-letting by the architectural profession for a builder to place his order for joinery with a joinery manufacturer pro- viding such joinery is made by a reputable firm under Trades Union rules and condi- tions. And.. L will also add that if "A Work- ing Joiner will trouble to make inquiries he will find that only about 10 per cent. of the builders dkd contractors of Great Britain make their own joinery. The ques- tion of joinery manufacturers being affiliated with the Master Builders' Federation has never been presumed' necessary, for the simple reason that the men employed at a joinery works being Trades Union members, their interests automatically come under the Building Trades' Federation and Master Builders' rul. I think I am right in stating that there is no record throughout Great Britain of the authorities of any town entertaining such an absurd excuse for the holding up of a hous- ing scheme. I should like to see held a. pub- lic meeting of ratepayers of (Swansea-, where the whole of the questions in jgpspect to this housing scheme" could be put before them, and excusing no one who has been guilty of this unwarrantable hold-up.

The case of the men is that they are at work and anxious for it, but through no cause of their own, but faulty boilers, claim waiting time. On Monday and Monday, night tVre were long stoppages, which ■ necpssitated rewarming of the rolls, which, the men say. is practically working hard for very slight returns.
