Death of Miss Phoebe George. It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Miss Phoebe George, the younger daughter of Mr and Mrs W. Davies George, which occurred at midnight on Friday at their residence at Broad Haven. Miss George, who was 19 years of age, had been in delicate health for the last two or three years, and she was obliged to leave the Ladies' College at Cheltenham, where she had been a pupil for some- time. For several months she had been very seriously ill, but a few weeks ago there was noticeable a distinct improvement in her condition, and hopes were entertained of her recovery. As late as Friday week she was able to go across the road to see her grandfather, Mr Joseph Thomas, who. we regret to hear, is also very ill. Un- fortunately, there was a relapse on the following Sunday, from which the deceased never rallied. The sad death cast quite a gloom over Broad Haven and Haverfordwest, where Miss Phcobe George was held in the highest esteem. Her drama- tic ability was widely recognised, for Miss George was able to interpret the movements and present the characters she impersonated in a striking manner. The greatest sympathy is felt with the family in their terrible bereavement. Ou Saturday by direction of the Chairman of the County Council the window blinds were lowered at the Shire Hall as a mark of respect. PUBLIC SYMPATHY. Before the commencement of the business at yesterday's meeting of the Pembrokeshire County Council, the Chairman said he had no doubt all the members were acquainted with the terrible bereave- ment which had befallen their valued clerk, Mr George, by the death of his daughter. He moved a resolution, placing on record the Council's deep sympathy with Mr George and his family. Sir Charles Philipps, seconding, said that every member of the Council must have admired the ability and unvarying courtesy of their valued friend, Mr Davies George. The Clerk was always ready to assist them in the many duties which the work of the Council entailed, and his charm and manner so endeared him to them that they could all the more readily sympathise with him in his great loss, Although this sorrow had been hanging over the Clerk for so long, Mr George had, nevertheless, by faithfully attending to his work, placed his public duties before his private sorrow. Mr J. Howard Griffiths supported the resolution, I which was passed in silence. At the Education Committee on Friday, Mr Sketch (chairman; referred with regret to the cause of Mr George's absence, and said he was sure every member sympathised with him in his great trouble. r-—

Death of Pembrokeshire Man in Salt Lake City. PROMINENT CATTLE RAISEH. Mr John H. White, age 5.5 years, manager of tho j White Dressed Meat company, formerly vice-president of the State Fair Association, prominent cattleman and meat man, died suddenly of heart trouble at 12.50 a.m. Tuesday morning, July 12, at his residence, 266 North Second West Street, Salt Lake City, Utah. He worked all day Monday was at the office up to 8 o'clock came home and ate a hearty RUpper went to bed; woke up at 12.20 a.m. complaining that he felt ill, and in half an hour expired. He has been troubled with heart attacks for several weeks, and five weeks ago the family physician advised Mrs White to be prepared for just what occurred. The deceased was born August 24, lS55, at Hakin, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. He was the son of William White and Ann Thomas White. January 18, 1883, he married Miss Clara Feveryear, he having come to Uttah in 1S76. At one time he was half owner of Antelope Island, where Herefords were being raised at the time. At the time of his death he was a life member of the State Fair Association, and one of the seven presidents of the Third quorum of seventy. One of his prominent characteristics was his strong love of family and friends. This was particularly shown at the ward gathering a few weeks ago when the ward members met to do honour to his son Chauncey Leland White just prior to his starting on his mission to Germany, where he went June 17. Deceased left a widow and ten children and also eight brothers and sisters, all residents of Salt Lake City.

A WET BANK HOLIDAY. I SOAKED CROWDS. The numerous outdoor functions arranged for Bank Holiday were marred by the heavy downpour of rain. The day opened gloomily, but the weather forecast in the morning's newspapers stated that fine weather might be expected throughout South Wales. Ideal holiday weather was the confident prediction, and therefore, great was the disappointment when rain fell persistently up till noon. Then there was a welcome interval of two or three hours, followed by a heavier downpour than ever, with the result that soaked holiday seekers were seen hurrying homewards in all directions. It was a day of spoiled pleasures, of curtailed programmes, and of depressed crowds. The down trains on Saturday were crowded with those who were returning home for a short holiday, and organisers of sports, fetes, and shows were expecting record gatherings. It was only natural to indulge in these confident anticipations, for a wet August Bank Holiday is a novelty. It is many years since such a disastrous day as Monday was experienced in Pem- brokeshire.

The funeral of Mrs Pearce, whose death under such pathetic circumstances was reported in our last issue, took place on Thursday afternoon. The body was conveyed from the house at three o'clock to North Road Baptist Church, a short distance away, where a most impressive service was held. Rain was falling heavily at the time, but this did not prevent the main part of the Chapel being filled with sympathising friends, the larger number as was naturally expected being females. After the singing of a hymn and the reading of a portion of scripture, the Rev. W. H. Prosser delivered a brief address, referring in touching terms to the high esteem in which the late Mrs Pearce was held. He was sure all rejoiced in the faet that she lived and died a true Christian. Consolatory words were addressed to the grief-stricken husband and relatives. The Rev. J. B. Edwards, pastor of Tbornton Baptist Church, and a personal friend, offered a heart-felt prayer, after which deceased's favourite hymn, Jesu, Lover of My Soul" (Aberystwyth) was feelingly sung. At the conclusion of the service the cortege, consisting of the hearse tnd several carriages, the latter bearing the chief irourners, preceded by some hundreds of I townspeople, wended its way to the little quiet cemetery. There the final obsequies were per- formed by the Rev. W. H. Prosser. The scene at the gravesiJe was extremely pathetic. It was a token of the love which everyone bore the deceased lady that euch a large concourse of sympathisers gathered in the pouring rain around the grave. The coffin bore -he inscription Elizabeth M. Pearce died July 21th, 1910; aged 31 years." The chief mourners vere:—Mr D. T. Pearce (husband), Mr and Mrs Michael Bryan (father and mother), Miss Laura Bryai and Miss Florrie Bryan (sisters), Mr Bert Bryan (brother), Mrs Pearce, Newtown (mother- in-law), Mr ald Mrs C.

Trawler Owner's Bankruptcy. I APPLICATION FOR DISCHARGE. At the Pembroke Dock county court on Wednesday, Mr Harry D. Williams, solicitor, Haverfordwest, applied Mr discharge from bankruptcy of Peter Llewellyn Hancock, formerly carrylng on business as a ship- builder and trawler owner at Milford. Mr Hancock was adjudicated bankrupt ill 1901, and in his report the Official Receiver mentioned five offences which would prevent the court granting an. Immediate discharge. The Deputy Judge (Mr Milner Jones) He does not report very strongly agai°st you. the OfMficoiragl an (t ?I Y g flillst YOU. Mr Morgan (the Deputy_ Official Receiver), said that the Official Receiver considered that this was a case in which a discharge should not be granted except on terms as the deficiency was very large, the liabilities being increased and the assets not realising as much as was estimated. The deficiency came to t5,320 7s instead of £3,520 as shown in the statement of affairs. Moreover, before his bankruptcy debtor bought a lot of steam traw- lers without having at that time sufficient capital. He spent about jEl 1,000 bOP139 trawlers, and when they were sold there was a loss of £ 4,7.50. Another transaction mentioned in the report was a loan of a sum of £ 200 about twelve months before his bankruptcy to a local bank manager, to be rePaid in instalments of £1 per month. It would therefore take 200 months to repay. The Deputy Judge Is that £1 a month going on now ? Mr Morgan said that unfortunately the bank manager left the place shortly afterwards, and his address could not be found. Replying to Mr MorgfP. Mr Hancock said he was now employed by his wife at a salary of £ 2 per week. His wife carried on busiosaa under the name of S. J. Hancock & Sons," but his sons had no interest in the business. His reason for applying for a discharge was to clear his character, and not that his wife's business might be transferred to him. The Judge susnended the discharge for two years.

The individual members of the Council decided to support a petition to the directors of the G. W.R. Co. with regard to the contemplated closing of the South Wales Hotel. The petition stated;- Before finally deciding to adopt this course we most earnestly beg you to consider not only the serions inconvenience it would entail on the public, but also the injury to the business of the locality, that would follow such proceeding. The hotel is extensively used bv the local and countv j gentlemen, Army and Navy officials as well as a large number of commercial travellers, all of whom should receive consideration. It is hoped that you will carefully weigh the subject before taking snch drastic steps as the closing of an hotel that has been in existence for over 50 years." PUBLIC HEA.LTH AND GAS. The public health and gas committee recommended that commencing with the quarter ending September, 1910, that all accounts for gas settled within 14 day; from the date demanded, per cent rebate will be allowed on the amount charged for gas; that in view of the shortage of water in Cambrian Road, the well situated in that district be deepened until a good supply is found, but the depth not to exceed 10 feet at present: that in pursuance of the Private Street Works Act that part of Honeyborough Road lying between Wood Lane and the garden of the house owned by Mrs Peach, and that part of Honeyborough Road lyiug between Wood Lane and the entrance to No. 17, Honeyborough Road, as to the first mentioned part be paved, channelled, 1;veiled, and kerbed, and as to the second part be channelled, and that the expenses be apportioned on the premises concerned, regard being had to the greater or less degree of benefit to be derived that the Surveyor prepare specifications of the work and an estimate of the cost, with a provisonal apportionment of the estimated expenses. It was recommended that the Inspector be ordered to compel Mr Foster to comply with the Act as to the storage of motor spirit, and, if necessary, the Clerk to take legal proceedings to enforce compliance. REDUCTION IN PRICE OF GAS. A lengthy discussion took place as to the proposed rebate on the price of gas. Mr J. Y. Harries was informed that the users of the slot meter would participate in tiie proposed reduction. Mr Roach said he was sorry to have to describe the committee's action as a hole and corner job." They might say that a reduction of 3d in a thousand feet was not mucb. The G. W.R. do not raise wages very rapidly, added Mr Roach. They once gave him a rise oft-d per day, but 3d is the general run. The speaker proceeded to advocate certain improvements with the surplus. For instance lamps were needed at Westfields, and if they reduced the price of gas that improvement would mean an extra rate. "I may be a little retrospective," con- eluded Mr Roach, but I am only looking at the past sins of this council which are many, I am sorry tu say. It is our duty to try and make ourselves better." Mr Bettr said he was a member of the committee, and he desired to know whether it was ene man working on this council or is it the council working ? Instead of reducing the price of gas they should go in for benefiting the ratepayers as a whole. Several improvements weie needed-such as lamps down in the district where Mr Roach lived. What, he asked, was the use of saving a paltry five per cent. They should seek to benefit the whole community and not a select few. ) Mr Thomson complained of the lack of discrimination on the part of those members who opposed the reduction. The arguments adduced against reduction he dismissed as most silly." Why should thev penalise the con- Isumers of gas:- The reason why they did not raise tke price of gas to the consumers when the G.W.R. Co. charged more was as clear as mud." He held that the Council had absolutely no right to charge more for the price of gas than the actual cost and a small percentage for collection and clerical duties. The profit of £.10 made last year almost entirely out of the private consumers was applied to the reduction of the rates. The council should act in a manner which would encourage the consumption of gas. Mr J. V. Harries supported Mr Roach, and referred to the desirability of carryiog out improvements. The residents of Westfields, he said, must be very peaceful to abide in that dangerous locality without gas. The Chairman reminded Mr Harries that the question under discussion was whether this proposed rebate should be granted. Mr Harries You will not allow me to explain r The Chairman I cannot allow you to wander all over the place. Mr W. Evans said he had listened carefully to the elaborate speech of Mr Thomson, and he now proposed that the matter stand over for at least six months. If the gas iu Neyland was more expensive than in Pembroke Dock, added Mr Evans, it was far superior in quality. Mr Roach seconded. Mr J. Hier said the gas movement was young, and he objected to the proposal that those who made the gas undertaking a money concern should be mulcted in a higher charge than was necessary. Mr Roach wanted lamps put in a thoroughfare out of the pockets of a few. But it was an insult to the Nejland ratepayers to say that they were not prepared to bear the necessary burdens. It was only fair and honest to make this reduction. The Chairman said that Mr Bsttv had made a personal attack upon him. To represent this as an inj ustice to the ratepayers was ridiculous, because were it not for the private consumer the ratepayer would have to bear the whole expense of the gas undertaking. The private con- sumer made the profit. Mr Harries I believe they are incurring debt. Chairman Oh Mr Harries' You won't allow me to explain. Mr Betty Can I have one word r The Chairman (emphatically) X 0; I have not finished myself yet. Proceeding, the Chairman said that after the proposed reduction they Would make as much profit out of the private consumer as before. Mr Evans You did not rise the price to the consumer to the full amount when the G.W.R. Co. increased the charge. Chairman That is beside the mark. W't3 are paying new one of the highest prices in the United Kingdom. Mr Evans But better quality. Chairman How better quality Mr Evans: You have always told me that the gas is far better than in Pembroke Dock. Chairman I am not taking Pembroke Dock as a model town. A DELIBERATE LIE." Mr Betty rose aad said he desired to answer the chair- man. Chairman Tso. I am not going to allow you. I am in the chair. I shall put it to the vote. Mr Betty you have told a deliberate lie-there Chairman W ithdraw, please 1 Mr Betty Allow me to speak and I will withdraw it. Chairman I will not allow you to speak until you withdraw it. Mr Betty I will withdraw it. Shall I speak now t Chairman No. Mr Harries Can I speak in support r Chairman: No. I have had enough. There voted against the proposed reduction Mr I James James, Mr Harries, Mr Betty, Mr Roach and Mr Evans (5), and five in favour. The Chairman gave his casting vote in favour of the adoption of the report. NOT A DOOB MAT. Mr Roach rose to speak on the subject of the well in Cambrian Road, and said he was not going to be made a door mat for anyone on the committee to wipe his boots. Mr Skone You are not on the committee r Mr Roach Why shouldn't I explain ? Mr Skone You said we'were wiping our boots in you. Mr Roach Please sit down and I will spsak Chairman I wish you would not be so personal. Mr Roach I got to be Mr Roach then proceeded to tell the Conncil how he knew all about well sinking, from the cutting of the sod to the fixing of the handle, having been engaged in the work for 23 years. The most influential gentlemen in Pembrokeshire would confirm that. I don't know any member of this Council who can say that," added Mr Roach. Mr Hier: Question. Mr Evans, moving the adoption of the recommendation, confessed that he had not had such varied experience as kis friend, Mr Roach. The recommendation was adopted unanimously, and the Chairman remarked that it was very gratifying to find that on the Council were men experienced in everything. It was useful to have such handy men. Mr Roach I have told you about it before. I am not bringing forward strange things. Chairman: We were a little divided on gas, but on water we are all right. Mr Skone The committee did not snub Mr Roach. He is not on the committee. GRANT UNDER DEYOLOPMENT ACT. I The works committee recommended that the Surveyor be instructed to prepare a scheme undsr the Devolopment Act for the reconstruction of the Military Road extending from Church Lakes to Scoveston Fort, and also for the widening of that part of Honeyborough Roadljing between George Street and Honeyborough Farm with a view to obtaining a grant under the Road Improvement Funds Act, 1 :JOI. Mr Hier said that this part of Honeyborough road was dangerous on a dark nigh?- and being one of the en- trances to the town it gave people the impression that Neyland was an ill-kept place. Mr James James remarked that there was a pond on this thoroughfare capable of accommodating some three dozen ducks. Children sometimes fell into it. Mr Harries: The pond is caused more or less by tradespeople. (Laughter). "I am told," added Mr "Harries "that the Chamber of Irade comes into this room and uses our gas whenever they like." Mr Roack also made a few remarks. He prefaced his speech with the observation, I am sorry to speak against Mr Hier. But I will speak against anyone if I don't agree with him." Mr W. Evans desired the back streets off High Street to be paved, channelled, &c., but there was some dis- pute as to what was intended. Mr Evans agreed to the matter being deferred, and said that he did not think he was known as an obstructionist or as a stupid fellow. He was quite favourable to the plans being brought before the committee again. BILL 1ASSLD BY J'ARUAMfcXr. Mr Thomson was informed that a portion of the road for which a grant is to be asked was outside the urban district. Mr Roach (explaining) This is a bill passed by Parlia- ment, and we are trying to get something from the Government. Mr Roach concluded his remarks with another allusion to Mr Hire. "yOU SHOUIDX'T LAUGH." Mr Hier: Will you call him to order. Mr Rc)ach You shouldn't laugh. Mr Hier: I should be hard up to laugh about you I would ask the Chairman for protection. He is saying Mr Hier, Mr Hier," continually to-niilht. Had he anything reasonable to say I would not oi-ject to it, but when it is the awful rot he is giving us to-night it is a different thing. He expects us to treat him as our almighty. But we refuse to do it. Mr Harries If we have not the power to refuse the grant we shall be in a fine bole. (Laughter.) The Chairman said it was possible that they would get another grant next year. He believed Mr Lloyd George's Budget would stand for an indefinite time. The report was adopted. STRAIGHT AND ABOYE BOARD. Mr Betty, referring to the finance committee's report, said that everything on the finance committee was straight and above board. I must give our secretary," he added, "credit for the way in which he keeps the accounts. They are straight and plain so that a child can read them."
