1 I FATAL IF NEGLECTD.I' I Why Kidney and Bladder Troubles are so Serious. It used to be thought that only urinary troubles and backache were to be traced to the kidneys. but modern science now shows that a great many fatal diseases have their beginning in irregularities of these important organs. For the kidneys are the blood purifiers. Every three minutes the blood passes through them to be puritied. When it reaches the kidneys it Is heavily laden with < uric acid and liquid waste-when it leave8 the kidneys its impurities have been taken out, just as if it had passed through a niter. But when the kidneys are weak and inflamed they cannot keep up with their great work, and so the poisonous waste is left in the blood, and the whole body is being slowly poisoned. You soon feel languid, dizzy and worn out. You cannot sleep— cannot cat—a.ud grow impatient and melancholy. Puffy circles eomo under the eyes the ankles swell the muscles and joints are stiff and rheumatic. There are urinary disorders, and you have to get up many times during the night. Your back is weak and aching— you may have sciatic pains and lumbago. If you have any of the above symptoms, give your overworked kidneys help '< Oít(8 in Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, of which Haverfordwest men and wumen speak so highly. ??? ¡ Ez':¡y ???''?? ?' ?

A communication was received from the IIaverford- west Tobacco Company asking to be allowed an extra. Sd per Ib in the price of the tobacco supplied to the Work- house. This was the amount of the new tax imposed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Clerk pointed out that the Guardians were under an obligation to pa.y the diSereuce. Mr J L! Davies asked if the increased duty had yet been paid by the contractor. The Clerk sa.id that when the Recounts c3.me in, the contractor would show the increased amount he had paid. One member said he understood that the budget was not law yet. The Chairman It is quite understood that whatever duty they legally pay we will re-pay them. Mr T. <jr. Lewis asked whether, if the Juty bad been reduced, a rebate would have been allowed to the Guardians The Cierk The contractor wi!I have to satisfy the Guardians that the increased tax ha.d been paid. The Guardians had no option but to sanction this. because the contractor could recover by Act of Partiment. POOR LAW COXFEREXCE. The Guardians were invited to send delegates to the Poor Law Conference to be held ou June 15 a.nd 16. The Clerk mentioned that hitherto the Guardians had appointed the chairman and vice-chairman to represent the Board. He was instructed that the conference would be most interesting this year, because the report of the Royal Commission on the Poor Li.w would be discussed, and a paper would be read on the subject by the Secretary of the Poor Law (. uion Association. In reply to Mr Richards, Fishguarrl, the Clerk said that the Board usually paid the delegates expenses. It was pointed out that the Board were entitled to send three delegates. Mr T. Baker: If there is to be a third I think in justice to our clerk he should have an opportunity of going. The Clerk saH there could be three debates in addition to the Clerk, and the Chairman, the Vme-Chair- man and Mr T. G. Lewis, were proposed. The matter will come up for approval at the next meeting, as the requisite notice had not been given. AN IXMATE DISMISSED. Archdeacon Hilbers referred to a report of the House Committee, stating that an inmate named John Davies, of the Merlin's Bridge, in consequent of recalcitrant conduct should be dismissed from the Workhouse:. The Master complained that this inmate had left without authority, and as he had been recaJcitMnt on previous occasions the committee recommended that when he turned np he should be givfu his clothes and sent out. The Master said that Davies absconded from the Workhouse on the previous Saturday and returned on Sunday evening very much the worse for drink. He refused to admit him and tnid him that he could report himself to the Board meeting that day. He bad not turned up yet and he reported the case to the house committee that morning. Davies was a man between .)0 and 60 years of age. The Oork mentioned that Davies had repeated that conduct twice during the last fortnight. Mr J. Ll. Davies Wh<3re shall we bo if tho man starves. I don't think he is altogether sano. I n:et him in the road yesterday. The Chairman Is it your wish that he be refused admission i" Several Members: Yes. Mr J. Bowen desired to press Mr lJ:lV¡e's question. What would be the position of the Guardians if they refused admission to a destitute man. If a man was destitute the police could take him before the magistrates. Rev. Henry Evans The best thing to do with him. Mr Bowen Are we justified in refasing him admission. I think we should take proceeding against him for drunkenness. Mr Gibby The man has plenty of money to snpnd on drink, and in that caae be has plenty to kf-ep himself. MrW. J. Owen also thought that the man ahoutd be charged with drunkenness. He had committed an onecce by returning to the Workhouse drunk. The Master thought that Davies would be able to get his living. M Mr J. LL Daties He ought to be prosecuted. The Chairman pointed out that if Davies became destitute he had the same right as everyone etse to appeal to the Relieving O?cer for assistance. Mr J. U. Davies \Vou!d there be any use in appeal- mg to the Relieving OfRcer, after he was refused admission by the Master. Supposing the man dies on the roadside. Mr J. C. Bowen He is net going to die like that when he can work. The Chairman aaid he understood that the Board was perfectty CTDpstent to refuselulmisäion to anyone, and to turn anyone away (1. of If Davies was in want he cou!d app!y to the Helievinl{ Officer for relief, the same as ¡iIJyoae e!se.

1,1 Shall Meet in Heaven." I WORKHOU8E INMATE'S LAST HOPE. INUUET AT IIAVERFORDWEST. The circumstances under which Alfred John, .').), a native of Mathry aud 3. \Varkhousa inmate committed suicide by drowning In the C!eddau were inveHtigated by Mr Corouer Price a.nd a jury at the Uuiou Workbouae on Wednesday afternoon. The iit'st witness, Mf Hall, the Workhouse master, said he had not observed the deceased to be strange in manner, a.nd he wa.3 given the same liberty as an ordinary inmate. John, who tailor by trade, was a native of Mathry, where he h:td a wife and sev"ra! chi!drf.). He was on intimate term! with a woma,u named Sturiey. of MHford IIa,ven, but witness said he had never noticed anything of an huproper nature between them. On Monday morning turley was discharged from the Workhous?-. The Coroner: Did you ever reprimand the deceased for receiving inters which be ought not to have rec.t'ived 'f Witness Xcver reprimanded him, but he had a letter ou the previous morning and I asked him for it. Witness added that whju John handed him the letter he appeared to be great]y agitated. The Coroner A lot of nonsense is in the ietter, I suppose ? Witness replied in the normative, and intimated that he hid the letter with him if the Coroner desired to see it. The hi] did not w:nt to see it. He asked if thf deceased wrote a rep!y to the ictter. Witness: I did not see him. DID NOT RAISE THE ALARM. John lIarri28, baker, L'zmaato'j, spoke to hJ.ving seen the body of a ma.n lying iu the water on the Haroldston side of the river on Tuesday afternoon. \Vitne88 explained that he did not take particular notice as he thought the man was ti-'hing. Not passing au officer ou the road he wns iiiiable to raise the niarm. The Coroner It was not iipces,ary to hav<j an officer to pu!! him cut. Don't you thirk someon" might have aaved his lifer—'HQ must have been (lo-,xd theii, and no ona couH have crossed the water unless he could swim. I snppose the truth is, you lost your head,No, I didn't lose my hea.d at aH. WOULDN'T CHANCE HIS LIFE. Robert Reynolds, labourer, said that whits going to L?,masÍJn with a telegram, some Cratumn. School hoys to'd him that u, man,was drowned in the i-tvar. He came into Harerfordwest and informed the poiice of the occurrence. The Coroner questioned witness as to to the quantity of water in the river at the time and why he did not try topuUbimout. \Vi:aess I didu't think it was my .riace." The Coroner If you see a mun 111 the water you should pull him out a.nd think of "place" afterwards. Witness I was not going to chance my life like that. Waa there too much w;Lter Ye3; HO ouo could h3.ve crossed Hutess he could swim. A LAST WISH. P.S. Morgan, the next witness, formally proved finding the body. There was no tide there at the time. Search- ing the deceased's clothes, he found Is 6d. a large number of letters, a scissors, btactdeada. combs, a tobacco box, kfiife, and other sundries. On the bank opposite where the body was there was the following letter, dated Ma.y 10 My dea.r, dear riorric,—! am very sorjy after you, my dear. I cannot live without you. tny dear, any longer. I received your letter safe, but the Master took it away. I hope you nnd I sbaU meet in Heaven. I am afraid to o back. perhaps they will put me in the Asyium so, no more, from your true )ove, Albert John.—Kisses to you, my dear. I hope I aha)! be buriej iu the same grave as you, my dear Fiorrie. EXCESSIVE POVERTY. Dr. J. H. Wiitn'ms said that the deceased was admitted to the Workhouse ta.st August twelve months by an order of the Mathry magistrate'! f(,r having attempted to cut his throat. For a time strict supervision was kept over him, but neithRr when he was admitted nor at any time :-iuce had ho shown the slightest symptom of insanity. Ho was quiet, very well behaved, perfcct)y sharp iu his inte!!cct, i'.ud often expressed sorrow at having tried to commit suicide, an act which he attributed to excessive poverty. Deceased was not at any t"n<' ptaced on the lunatic books, and he enjoyed the same hberty as &ny ordinary inmate. Witness attributed John'3 rash act to the tottnT—a. very foolish letter-which ho received from the woman Sturdy. It was a iettcr couched in language similar to that made use of by the deceased. A CURIOUS IMPRESSIOX. Referring to the evidence of the witnesses Harries and Reynold, the Coroner said there was an erroneous impression that if a man committed suicide the firot thing to do was to run for a poticeman. He had even heard of pcopio who, seeing a man ha.ugit)K, strafghtway ran off for a poticema.n inatea.d of cutting the man down. In this case the pohce sergeant said that the tide had gone out and that anyone could have walked across to the spot where the man was lying. THE TERDICT. The jury returned a verdict that deceased committed I suicide during a fit of temporary insanity.

The cattle fall" on Thursday, was unusally well supplied with stock of all descnptions, but there was scarcely any demand and prices slightly decreased. Stores were not at all sought after. Cows and calves were some- what in requisition, and sheep dtd not share the downward tendency uf price. On the whole, however, it was a very slack fair. There was no diminution in the May fair number of maidens and their swains to enliven the scene, and the festivities of the hir ended peacefully and quietly. The pig f;ui-.

Baptist Musical Festival.1
Baptist Musical Festival. AN ENORMOUS SUCCESS. CROWDED CONGREGATION AND EXCELLENT SINGING. Thursday's festival. he)d under the auspices of the Baptist, Ifusieal Association, was, by general consent, the most successful that has yet been held in the Bethesda Chapel. In the evening the chapel was so crowded that seats were phoned :'Jong the aisles, and the lobby and stairs were completely blocked. No less than thirteen churches were represented, the huge choir accommodated on the gallery numbering some .'):X) vuices. With so many choirs brought together, some for the nrst time, it would have been indeed strange if the singing had been without blemish, if the blend was perfect, the phrasing everything that could be desired, the interpretation absoluteiy correct. If such a result could have been attained at the outset these singing festivals would be entirely unnecessary. The object in arranging these gatherings is not to have some grand display, but the improvement of congregational singing, the cultivation of the understanding in the direction of a better appreciation of church music and the more correct interpretation of the hymn writers' meaning—in a word, the suppression of self-con- sciousness and that going out of the finite to the Inhnite which is inherent in all true praise. In Mr Ernlyn Davies, of London, the choirs had a conductor who, by his excellent suggestions, enabled this high ideal to be realised. Only a conductor blessed with the infinite capacity of taking pains, and who abhors mechanical singing no matter how perfect in technique, could have achieved this result. Under his advice the singing so visibly improved that at the close Mr Davies was able to make the gratifying announcement that this was the best festival he had yet attended in Haverfordwest. Last year the singing left much to be desired—it showed a marked disimprovement compared with that of two years a,,o-b,,it,ttie conductor's adverse criticisms then proved a welcome stimulus to the local choirs who realised that nothing short of their very best was expected. The selection of hymns and tunes showed great taste, and although they did not quite reach the beautiful collection to be found in last year's festival programme they proved an inspira- tion As rehearsing conductor, Mr T. A. Thomas could not have spared himself, and both he and Mr Walker, the organist, richly merited the compliment paid to them by the conductor. As secretary, Mr W. G. Rowlands made admirable arrangements. The afternoon president was the Rev. W. C. Evans, of Penuel, and the evening president, the Rev. F. C. Tucker, of Honeyborough. Other ministers present throughout the day were the Revs. B. Roberta Marioes, J. Edwards, Tbornton, W. H. Prosser, Milford, 0. D. CampbeII. Haverfordwest, G. A. Thomas, Salem, B. C. Evans, Neyland, W. Lawrence, Pope Hill, W. Mendus, Haverfordweat, and Lisbon Rees. Mr Isaiah Reynolds, the mayor of Haverfordwest, was also acommodated with a seat' in the pulpit. The afternoon service commenced with the sing- ing of the hymn "The head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now" (St. Magnus), after which the Rev. J.Edwards read a passage from scripture, and the Rev. B. Roberts led in prayer. 1:01 HINGING ALWAYS PRAISE. Mr EmJyn Davies was so pleased with the heartiness and the true reverence of the rendering of this opening hymn by the choirs and the whole congregation that lie predicted an excellent festival. He remarked that singing was always praise, and he trusted they would be very severe upon themselves aud guard their feelings and their thoughts. WHEN PHRASING IS CORRECT. Referring to deficiencies in phrasing in the hymn 0 Lord, who by Thy presence hast made light The heat and burden of the toilsome day, the Conductor said that when one person talked to another his phrasing was always correct. This was because he spoke with earnestness, and he asked the singers to put a little more sincerity into their efforts. This personal element was absolutely necessary to praise. The "Consecration" hymn showed similar defects, and Mr Davies suggested that those singers who did not phrase correctly had been remiss in attending the rehearsals to which there came a ready response. The hymn was twice repeated, and the hnal effort was such a splendid performance that Mr Davies, a severe critic, said it was excellent singing. The music and words are so beautifully wedded in "0 Love divine to the tune "Rivaulx," that the conductor congrn.tnlated those who were responsible for the preparation of the programme. Casting aside the expression marks, the Conductor showed that the whole hymn should not be sung in a piano note, but each verse should begin softly, gradually increasing in volume to the end of the first line, then decreasing to the end of the second line. A crescendo and dimuendo should also mark the third and fourth hnes. It was obvious from this and other remarks, that there is nothing Mr Davies dislikes more than mechanical singing, no matter how accurately sung. As Mr Davies desired it to be sung, the rendering was exceedingty beautiful, and the j congregation felt that it must perforce join in. THE COMMITTEE'S KIND WAY. Rev. W. C. Evans, in the course of a short address, explained that because he was a newcomer to the district he was called upon to preside that afternoon. That was the kind way the festival committee had of introducing newly arrived ministers to the various choirs in the Association. They were there that day to he)p the choristers to cherish high thoughts of the service in which they were engaged. They could not over-estimate the value of the ministry of sacred song. The musical faculty Nvas a Divine gift, one of those good and perfect blessings which came down from above. They said it reverently: God was the great master musician of the universe; He laid the keynote of all harmonies; Hs planned all perfect combinations. Like all divine gifts, music might be abused, and it was abused when it was employed for low efforts, for music expressed the varying emotions of the human spirit, its deepest longings and noblest aspirations. By its aid man was lifted Godward, and enabled to pour out Ins heart in praise and adoration, in thanksgiving anc supplication. It was also the most effective means of communication between man and man it was, as one of our poets had beautifully said, "a gracious mituence the hidden spring of pure fancies and strong sympathies. Ministers were often strengthened by the singing of the choirs, and he instanced the well. known case of Henry Wrd Beecher. But they needed more than good music they needed renewed hearts. ?.? SPARKLING SINGING. Higby's difficult anthem "0 clap you bauds was then sung, and portions of it were repeated several times until the conductor obtained the desired inter- pretation. Mr Davies here took the Opportunity of saving that while the rendering of the anthem was not without blemish, it was a mostcreditabJe perfor- mance. For IS choirs to siag any hymn tune weH was a great credit to them, hnt to sing a dimcult anthem like Rigby's in the way it had been sung that afternoon was an achievement, and eonsiderabte time and attention must have been expended on it. This anthem was twice repeated at the evening service, and the conductor did not restsatisned until the first portion of it was rendered in real sparkling style, rightly accentuated, and the second part with that calm assurance which is so impressive. The anthem had a message if they would only listen to it, added the Conductor. At the evening service Mr Davies said that while the festival was originally a Cymanfa, and the object —the improvement of congregational singing—had to a certain extent been attained, he was delighted to hear of the splendid system adopted in this district of devoting the financial proceeds to weak churches to obtain hymnals. The service opened with the singmg of the hymn "Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God" to the majestic tune Austria." This was followed by Kirby Bedon," but the hymn was com- menced too bold!y—too roughly as the conductor afterwards candidly pointed out—and he desired more of the spirit of reverence and humility, in the singing of the hymn "0 Holy Saviour, Friend unseen" (SUverstone), the altos showed a gratifying imDrovement and were comnlimented. HYMNS IN THE FARM KITCHENS. Some appropriate remarks were made by the Rev. F. C. Tucker, the evening president. He referred to the strenuous efforts made by the choristers and the local leaders in the country dis- tricts they had walked miles to attend the practices, and in some cases the hymns might be heard sung in farm kitchens. That festival, which was his first, bad been truly an inspiration. Plato, in the third book of his ''Republic" said that music was the movement of sounds so as to reach the soul and educate it in virtue. He wanted them to see that music was a gift for educating humanity and lifting it Godward. Hut their inspiration was not going to be true until they knew the meaning of the sanctuary and its worship. The old Psalmist, the champion soloist of the old Testament, said that the statutes of God were his song. He was afraid that these days people had not a sumcient grip of the eternal verities, or their lives would be more musical. Wha,t was wanted was inspiration. Many, oppressed by things materia!. crushed :'nd crucihed the spirit of music witliit]. He referred to the iu- fluence which music had over Napoleon's and Cromwell's men, and said that what was wanted was more altar in our song, and concluded by saying that there was for Baptists a more glorious future than they bad ever yet conceived. The Conductor, after an appreciative reference to the addresses delivered that day, mentioned that a wen-known Haverfordwest lady had suggested to him that it would be well if a children's and an adults' festival could he held alternately, or failing that, that a children's festival be held in the after- noon. This was au excellent idea, and he com- mended it to the consideration of the committee. He also referred to the presence at the festival of Mrs, PhiHips, known to the musical world as Madame MarthaHarries. i Rev. B. Roberts said the great dimculty attaching to a children's festival would be the additional expense in taking them in from the rural districts. He expressed his indebtedness to Mr Emiy.n Davies, whom he described as a spiritually minded man, and said the great need was men full of the spirit of reverence. Rev. J. Edwards proposed a vote of thanks to the conductor, the re-hearsing conductor, the organist, the treasurer (the Mayor of Haverfordwest), and the secretary (Mr W. J. Rowlands). Rev. W. Lawrence seconded, and the Conductor, in acknowledging the vote, expressed his indebted- ness to Mr T. A. Thomas and to Mr Harry Walker, and said that the choira were fortunate on possessing such a rehearsing conductor and such an organist. The service concluded with the singing of "Come ye sinners, poor and wretched," to the well-known Welsh tune Abertein."

The visitors had first knock and put up the moderate total of M, but even this would have been smaller had a number of catches been accepted. It was remarkabiy cold and this, as well as being the first match had its effect upon the neldsmen. Lloyd 3, H. Cole 3 for 20, and Mason 1 for 3 shared the bowling honours. Milford started well, but a rot set in and seven were out for 38. Charlie Mason however piayed steadily and with Hoyd in, the crisis was past. W. Owen 5 for 13, S. Davies i for 29. bowled well.

Haverf ord,#Yest District Council. CONTEST FOR THE CHAIR. MR. S. W. DAWKINS RE-ELECTED. I The annual meeting of the Haverfcrdwest Rural District Council was he!d on Wednesday afternoon, when the Rev. Henry Eva.ns was voted to the chair pro I tem, n_, ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. Mr J. Boweu proposed that Mr .T.. Roberts be elected chuit'maa for the (,nsuiii,, year, remtikin- that two years ago, when Mr JJJ,wkins was elected to the chair and Mr J. S. Roberts to the vice-chair, it was understood that new persons shoutd occupy these posiMoaa every year. Tho change was not made Li?t ye:).r, but he thought as a matter of principle, that it should be doue now. Mr T. U. Lewis secouded, and exptained that he did so purely as a matter of principle. He beHeved in the chair- man being changed, espeGiiHy tha chd.irmiu of the District Council. There were manv members of the Council who cou)d very eredita.bly n!I the chair and it was only right th.tt tb"y should recognise the energy, hbour, and time spent by t11<:88 gentlemen who had spent vears in the service of the pubiic. He merely supported Mr Roberts for one year, and he said candidly that if he were on the Council next year he should oppose his re- election. Mr L'eweJHn proposed that Mr Samson Williams take the chair for the emuing year. Mr James Rees seconded. Mr WiHiams I am very much obliged to you, but I am too old and live too far away. Mr John Reyno!ds proposed that Mr Dawkins be re- elected. He had nothing against Mr Roberts, but he did cot believe m the principle of changing the Chairman. Although I am the oldest member I dou't want it myself. Mr S. T. Williams seconded. Mr Davies (Johnstoa) said that Mr Dawkins bad made an excellent chairman he had attended the meetings reguiarty. Until that day he did not think Mr Dawkins had missed a single meeting during the last two years. Mr J. S. Robertn snid that i;] allowin his name to be submitted in compehtion with that of Mr Dawkins he hould like it clearly understood that he did so, not on personal grounds, but as a matter of principte. He and Mr Dawkina were neighbours and very good friends, but two or three years ago a desire was expressed that the chairman should be periodically changed, and with that view he was entirely in sympathy. On a division H voted for Mr S. W. Dawkins and 11 for Mr J. S. Roberts. Mr Roberts was unanimouafy re-appointed vice-chair- man, and in taking the chair in the absence of Mr Dawkiaa, thanked the Council for the honour conferred upon him. From one point of view he said he was very pleased that Mr Dawkins had been re-elected to the chair because it was a very responsible position and entailed the sacrince of a great deal of time. HOSPITAL SHIP CONDEMNED. On the re-appointment of the CounL-d's representatives on the Mitford Port Sanitary Authority, the question arose as to the attendances made by the representatives. Mr J. C. Bow?n rcma.rkod that the attendances were most regular because all exceltent luncheon was provided for them. Mr J. Bowen thought the Port Sanitary Authority shoutd send somn rccu'ameud.f.tinu to tho Uouticil as to wlnt should be doue with the Hospital Ship at Sandy Haven. This ship wa.s now lyin derelict, and the District Council ought to elect representatives who would take the matter in baud. At present the Port Sanitary Authority paid a man for gomg dowu to see if the ship was there. (Laughter.) The Chairman I am afraid you are out of order. Mr J. Bowen said he califd attention to this matter on the question as to whether the Council's representatives should be Rev Henry Evans I don't think we have power to discuss it. Mr W. E. Evans I propose that the committee meet on hoard to discuss the matter. Mr J. Do-.vcn: I propose a new committee tn pee if th'y cannot give us some recommendation what to do with this ship. Mr J. C. Bowen Does my name-sake saf" est goin,, on a voyage. (Laughter.) The council's representatives were re-appointed. SUPPLY. The Mtlford Havco Council replied that in view of the prospective requirements of the urban district, they were unable to undertake the supply of water to three houses at the Court, Hubbcrston, situated in the rural district. Mr J. ('. Bowen I hope no one will suggest again that the Mifford Couucit will supply these houses. The Oerk This is the second appttca.tion with the same result. Mr J. Bowen movsd thlt the counei! strongly urce on the Milford Ufba.u Council the supplying of these houses with water. Mr T. G. Lewis c0D1er;seù that ho was gettins impatient of this Hubberstou waler supply. The supply was outy for three houses, and he was told that there was water within a reasonable distance. Mr J. Bowen denied thai. Mr Lewis We are told so. He added th'it there were saveral parishes in the district where the people had much tender distances to go for water. If fvery house was to have a water supp)y provided within ::00 yards he did cot know where they would end. The Inspector mentioued that ui the event of the Urba.n CouHci! refusing to supply those h;ues, Mr Stokeu had promtHed t'j siuk a well. The matter tb<.u dropped, LLAXGWM WATER SUPPLY, f In rfply to a letter from the Haug'.vn) Parish (,L)uu,il. the n'5p'!ctc'f ws inahuctpd to hava a defect in the 7i¡!ag water supply repaired. IXSPECI'OirS REPORT. I The Inspector for the south district (Mr Gibbon) rep:'r:.ed that as the yards of the housrs at Johuston were now paved, he did not take proceedings -gainst the owner as directed at the last meeting. Tbo drama were not yet nuiaanceiu the i'cad-way had been abated. Wich regard to the we!! at Roch reported upon at the !.)Et meeting, it was now in wi'b an ullsatisfactoiY c;vering, bt the owner had agreed thit a, more !:iClÜ-<f,u.:t,J.ry coveri'.g would be provided.

Cpor?e James read me report of a. committee recommcndu:? that certain corrugated )ion buildings and huts erected temporarily at Cocdwick. shcnid now be dosed as sunicient honsm? accommodation hid been erected..He moved the adoption of the report. and said that private houses had been erected at considerabte expense, so that temporary structures eouid no longer be regarded as neces5ary. Tho now houses were now avait- able for occupation at rents varying from Sa to (is Gd a '.veek. Altogether there were 21 vacant e.tt,gfs, Jlnd where ¡¡riva-to enterprise had endmtvoliH'd to supp!y the Heed he did Hot think the corrupted i'oM lmildil!gs should be occupied. Thci-e buildings might lw aHowpd to stand in case the emergency again arose, but he main- bind th:1t at present there was DO emergency which would justify (hem m a!!owing the bui!d:ugs to be Mr N-iticeut Johns opposed the recommendation, ilthougb he said H ws agi.1i!Jst his interesi to do so. Thme was no evideuce th-'t the corrupted iron buitdings were insanitary and ho thought it a wrovig policy to petjatis'.i the G. W.R., who were doing so much for the d6ve!0!1ment of Goodwick. Mr Arthur D.iviej said the huts were prected tempor- arHy for the purpose of housing those en?a?ed in the engineeriug' deputmeut. Hi! reforred to the mom! aspect of this (?'cation, contending that huta on the side of the main roads did not he?p to make a. heatthy and strong basi s for future morality. (Hear, hear.) Mr I'hiihp?, the sanitary inspector for the north, said ho couhi not condemn the corrugated iron buddings as unfit for hum an habitation. Mr Samson \Vii)i:)ms contended that Cs a week was a prohibitory renta.1 for workingmen earning '2-l9 a week. There were many houses in the country in a much worse sanitary condition than these corrugated iron buildings. It was eventuaUy decided that the corrugated irou buddings be uUowed to be occupied on the condition that three huts in Coodvtick were removed.
