Pembroke Town Council. Five Hundred New Houses Wanted. THE BOROUGH MILK SUPPLY. THE SURVEYOR'S RESIGNATION. The quarterly meeting of the Pembroke Town Council was held on Tuesday week at the Coronation School, Pembroke Dock, when there were present the Mayor (Aid. W. Evans), Aid. J. Lawrence, C. Young, W. Robinson, Rees Phillips, Councillors D. John, W. G. Lloyd, J. Grieve, J. Jones, Owen Hire, J. Rogers, C. Sinnett, J. Gibby, W. C. Ivemey, \V. Smith, Owen Davies and H. Ogleby, with the Town Clerk (Mr. R. D. Lowless), the Bor- ough Surveyor (Mr. H. R. Crabb), the Borough Accountant (Mr. II. Hordley), and the Sanitary Inspector (Mr. P. Morgan). JOGGING THE DOCTOR'S MEMORY. As has occurred at several previous meetings no report was "to hand from the Medical Officer of Health LOr. D. L. Morgan). Mr. Ivemey asked why there was no report and said that they had not had one for three or four meet- ings. He thought it was not right. It was ignoring the Council. The Town Clerk said that the doctor uener- ally endeavoured to attend and bring the report with him. He expected that the doctor was generally detained longer than he expected and did not reach the meeting in time. It was decided upon the proposition of Aid. Lawrence that the attention of the M.O.H., be called to the matter, and the clerk request him to send in a report every month. THE FREEDOM OF THE BOROUGHS FOR LOCAL HEROES. It was reported that the HOll ot Honour Committee had met and recommended that ail residents and natives in the borough who were in the Army and Navy should be offered the freedom of the borough. They also recom- mended that a register be opened. The report was adopted. DOCKYARDEK'S PEXSIOXS. A long communication was read from the Gillingham Town Council on the 6ubject of the stoppage of the pensions of superannuated Dockyard employees who entered the Dock- yards again, whereas men receiving Army and Xavy Pensions did not suffer from this disa- bility. Mr. Lloyd remarked that some of the pensioners who were unable to work were now in a very sorry plight indeed. It was a won- der nobody had taken that matter up. Mr. Ivemey thought this was a matter more for the pensioners themselves than for the council. There were men in the yard who were earning from £2 to Z4, who were also drawing Army or Navy pensions, whereas Dockyard men who were now entitled to pen- sions could not get them. Upon the proposition of Mr. Owen Davies, the matter was adjourned to the next council meeting. DOGS THAT WORRY SHEEP. A letter was read from the Board of Agricul- ture enclosing a letter they had received from Mr. C. Jenner, of Pembroke Dock, upon the subject of the worrying of sheep by dogs. The Board regarded the matter as a serious one and suggested that the council should make regulations for the control of dogs at night in their area, such as are in force in other dis- tricts. The Town Clerk remarked that the question was whether there was any need for any fur- ther regulations. I Mr. Smith said that if farmers were-rosing sheep in the district it was the duty of the council to take such measures as they could to protect them. What objection was there to applying for their powers? The Town Clerk said that it meant a certain amount of trouble and a certain amount of expense. Mr. Smith retorted that they should not allow this to stand in the way, if the regula- tions were necessary. Mr. Ogle-by thought it was essential that the muzzling order should be put into force when lambs were about. f Mr. Gibby said that this year he had not lost any sheep, but in other years he had lost a great many through dogs. Sometimes he had lost £50 worth in a year. He had had as many as half a dozen killed in a night. He had had men out watching at night for months. It was decided to adopt the regulations at the next meeting of the council. SURVEYOR'S RESIGNATION. A letter was read fiom the Borough Surveyor (Mr. H. R. Crabby tendering his resignation and asking to be released at the end of August. He added that he had been in the council's service for seven years and asked if the council would grant him. a testimonial with regard to the works he had carried out during that time. Mr. Owen Davies asked' if the council had my power to retain Mr. Crabb's services if they felt so disposed, as in the case of munition workers? The Town Clerk: I don't think so. I don't think he is a munition worker. Mr. Lloyd I should like to hear if Mr. Crabb is of military age? The Surveyor: No, sir. I am not. Mr. Lloyd: Xot. so young as he looks! The "Mayor said that he was sure they were all extremely sorry to lose such a very efficient official. Mr. Crabb had been seven years amongst them and during that time he had shown very great ability. He would carry with him their best wishes that he would be suc- cessful in his new appointment. He could only propose that they now accept Mr. Crabb's. resignation and release him as he asked. He would also propose that they grant him a testimonial. Mr. Lloyd thought that they should give Mr. Crabb a good testimonial. He wag sorry when Mr. Crabb applied for an increase of salary that he was the only one to vote against. He was prepared to say that Mr. Crabb was worth more money, but he could' not vote for it be- cause of the incubers they had hanging on to this department. It was not because Mr. Crabb was not worth more but because the ratepayers could not be saddled with the amount being paid for this department. Per- sonally he considered that the independence Mr. Crabb had shown had been of good ser- vice to the ratepayers. Mr. Sinnett associated hiimself with the remarks that had been made, and said that they could convey to the people of Sheerness the assurance that they were getting a man who was afraid of no one and would do his duty. in the face of any influence that was brought to bear upon him. The resolution was accepted and the Mayor and Town Clerk were appointed to draw up a testimonial. Ald. Lawrence then moved that the council do not at the present time appoint a perman- nent surveyor. There was nothing which at the present time called for the attention of a higher class man. There was a good deal of work in the neighbourhood but it was practi- aally routine work from now until the end of the war. Therefore he proposed that they appoint a temporary surveyor. They had a person who had now been in their employ two and. a. half years, and was a very capable man —he referred to Mr. Orchard. He would pro- pose that Mr. Orchard be given the temporary position as surveyor during the time of the war. Mr. Sinnett seconded, remarking that every young man should have his opportunity. Mr. Gibby supported stating that he had seen as much of Mr. Orchard as any man on the council for the last few months. Mr. Owen Davies pointed out that the three members who had spoken were all members of the local tribunal, who had been urging employers to spare men to battle and get men of over military age. He had nothing against Mr. Orchard, but it struck him as comical to hear members of the Tri- bunal talking in this ,-yay.. I Mr. Gibby retorted that he had not urged ¡' men to serve any more than Mr. Owen'Davies had. Mr. Owen Davies: My point is, Mr. Mayor, are we justified in trying to retain a gentle- man of military age ? A Member: That's the point. Mr. Sinnett said that Mr. Orchard was in a low category, and he maintained that it would be more in the national interest to retain him in his present position than to send him to' the Army. Aid. YouITg thought they should not make an appointment without advertising it. They could then appoint Mr. Orchard if they thought fit, but they wanted a more practical man in his opinion. j Mr. J. Jones: I don't know the man. I have never seen him. We yant a practical man for the job. Mr. Smith thought that they ought not to make an appointment that day and moved that consideration of the matter be postponed to the next meeting. Mr. Ogleby thought the appointment should 7,hl advertised. The greater portion of the IRsmbroke members know nothing about this auan. They wanted a practical working sur- \weyor. i Mr. Rogers: Can't we get a man over military j; age to do the work? Mr. Sinnett: We have got one now-tlie (consulting engineer. After some further discussion it -wa? decid- vd to appoint Mr. Orchard as acting temporary (Continued at foot of next column)

Pembroke Guardians. — NEYLAND COLLECTOR'S SILARY. The monthly meeting of the Pembroke Board of Guardians was held on Thursday at the Workhouse, when there, were present Mr. T. John (chainwlt1). Mr. W. G. Parcell (vice-chair- man), Mrs. Grieve, Miss Crealock, Rev. B. C. Evans, Rev. R. H. Sewell; Messrs. W. Evans, D. Williams, Owen Hire, W- M. Griffiths, G. Griffiths, J. Jones, J. W. Penney. J. Thomas, G. Thomas, and G. D. Llewellin, with the clerk (Mr. A. G. O. Matthias), and the Master IMr. W. G. P. Morris). APPOIXTMEXTS. The House Committee reported that they had deceived five applications for the appointment of nursey attendant and they recommended the appointment of Miss F. Reynolds, at a salary of zP,18 per annum, with board, lodging, 'and washing, the Board to pay the National Insurance. The committee a lso recommended that the master be authorised to engage a temporary nurse for four months at a salary of j zP,18 per annum, with board, lodging and wash- ing, the Board to pay National Insurance. Rev. B. C. Evans, moved the adoption of the report and this was seconded by Ir. W. M. ij Griffiths and agreed to. HARD CASES. A letter was read from a Xeyland man asking if his little girl aged two, could be admitted to the Infirmary for treatment for a few months. He stated that he was a widower with three children, aged 11, 5 and'2, and this child had until recently been out nursing. If he stayed at home to look after the child lie should himself be obliged to apply for relief. If the Guardians would take the child for a period, he was willing to contribute 5s. a week. The Chairman remarked that the Board could only deal with paupers at the Work- house. Mr. Hire remarked that there was a number of cases like this. He knew a case of a man at Pembroke Dock who had an imbecile child, and did not know any place where he could send it. The Chairman: Haven't you a hospital at Pembroke Dock ? Mr. Hire: People don't know where to apply lor these things. The Chairman saiét that the County Council had the matter in hand. The Mental Defici- ency Act was passed a few years ago, and under this County Councils and Education Authorities could make arrangements for such cases, but nothing much had been done yet. The war had stopped everything. Arrange- ments were being made to deal with such cases as these at certain institutions in England and if Mr. Hire made inquiries of the Clerk to the County Council, lie thought he would get some information. Mr. Hire said that he was much obliged to the Chairman for the information, because some of these cases were very distressing. This man had been making inquiries for the past twelve months without result and he was getting very bitter against the authorities. Mr. W. M. Griffiths remarked that tfiere was a. similar case in Pembroke. The, Chairman said that he had been a mem- ber of the County Committee and the difficulty that was met with was that people would not part with their children. Lots of cases were reported and communications received from friends, but the children could not be removed without the consent of their parents, and the latter when asked said "Oh no. We will stick to our child. We won't part with him. There were two sides to every question. Rev. R. H. Sewell remarked that new ques- tions were now arising and new measures would have to be taken to meet them. The Chairman, in reply to a question, said that the Xarberth Guardians offered their house as a home for mentally deficient child- ren, but it was necessary not only to have a place where they could be sheltered, but to have peonie to tr?in them. Most of these children had some bent, and could be taught to do something, and be of some use in life. Mr. G. Thomas suggested that such cases should be reported to the Medical Officer of Health who would move on the matter. The Chairman: The father must make the application. Mr. Hire can advise the father. Mr. G. Thomas sugested that with regard to the application before them, the Relieving Officer should make inquiries and report to. the Board. The Relieving Officer (Mr. V. Roberts), replied that he brought the letter in. The man came to him and he told him he could do nothing as the Workhouse was not a lodging house. Mr. W. M. Griffiths: Can't the child go to the Haverfordwest I nfinnary Rev. n. C. Evans said that patients could not get into Haverfordwest Infirmary without tickets and the chairman retorted that there were gentlemen in the County who would alwa'ys give tickets. Tt was decided to take no action in the matter. MORE APPLICATIONS. A letter was read from Mr. Harts, tile Neyland collector asking for a war bonus and the Clerk in reply to questions said that this official was appointed at a salary of iP,20 but two years ago had his salary increased to 935. Mr. J. Thomas: The Neyland people should be consulted. Mr. G. Thomas asked whether the salary came out of the Common Fund, or was paid out of the Neyland rates and the Clerk replied that it was a charge on the parish. It was decided to ask for the opinion of the Neyland Council on the matter. A letter was read from the Master and Matron asking the Board to grant them a testi-I monial. to enable them to apply for similar posts at the Auckfield Union, in order to im- prove their financial position. Mr. W M. Griffiths thought the Board should grant a testimonial, as he considered the Master and Matron had done their work exceptionally well. The Chairman remarked that the Board would be willing to help Mr. and Mrs. Morris in every shape, though they would be very I sorry to see them go. Mr. W. M. Griffiths: Is it a matter of salary, sir. The Clerk: Yes. It is a matter of salary. Mr. Griffiths: I would rather give them a trifle more than let them go. Mr. Hire said that the Master and Matron had been particularly good servants, but the Board were also good employers, and they might go farther and fare worse. He was in favour of giving them .a testimonial, but he could not agree to an increase of salary.

Pembroke Ferry Fatality. SOLDIER'S CHILD DIES FROM SCALDS. On Wednesday afternoon the coroner (Mr. H. J, E. Price) held an inquest at the Meyrick Wards, Pembroke Dock, concerning the death of Herbert French, the nine months old child of Sapper Robert French and his wife, who reside at Pembroke Ferry. Mr. J. Lawrence was foreman of the jury. Margaret French, wife of Robert French, a sapper in the Royal Engineers, said that the deceased was her son and was nine months old. On Sunday she went out to the Hospital and left deceased in the house with her other children, the eldest of whom was Ellen aged 14. Some time after 11 o'clock she received a message that an accident had happened and after sending for the doctor she returned to the house. She found that some neighbours had already dressed the scalds on the child. Dr. Cutler afterwards came and ordered the removal of the child to the Nurses' Home. The child died at about four o'clock on Mon- day evening. He was not able to stand but just able to crawl. In reply to Supt. Thomas she said that she had a fireguard, but she could not remember where it was when she came back. Replying to a juror she said that the little girl was accustomed to looking after the child when witness was away. • Ellen Margaret French, aged 14, daughter of the last witness said that on Sunday morning her mother went to work at the Hospital and left witness in charge of the children. During the morning she took the guard away to put a saucepan on. Then one of her little brothers asked for some bread and butter and whilst she was cutting it, the baby who was crawling on the floor got hold of the kettle which was on the stand in front of the fire and upset it over himself. Witness at once picked up the child and ran upstairs with him to her aunt who was there. Witness called in a neighbour and then ran to get some oil and also to fetch her mother. In reply to a juror she said that the kettle was full of water at the time, though some might have boiled away. Her aunt had been to work in the morning and had returned home ill. Dr. F. J. Cutler, of Pembroke Dock, said that he was called to see the child at about 11.30 on Sunday morning and wpnt to the house. The child was suffering from very extensive scalds on the face, chest and abdomen, to which oil had been applied. He advised the removal of the child to the Nurses' Home, but it never got over the shock and died, early on Monday morning. The Jury returned a verdict of ''Accidental Death.

Pembroke Dock Sessions. THE BOYS AND THE APPLES. Saturday, August 18th. Before the Mayor (Aid. W. Evans), Messrs. J. Lawrence, W. Angel, T. Rees, W. X. Grieve, W. Smith and H. Trcvena. HIS FIRST NIGHT AT PEMBROKE DOCK. William McGregor, of Gloucester, was charged with being drunk in Mcyrick Street, the previous evening. He admitted the offence, and said that he had been travelling all night. He had a little drink and it went to his head. Somebody must have got hold of his money. He had three or four pounds and it was now gone. He ha dcome from Gloucester to work on a firm in the Dockyard.—He was fined 6s., a week being allowed for payment. ONE RESULT OF. GOOD NEWS. Edward Berrigan, Kensington Road, Neyland, did not appear on a charge of being drunk and disorderly in Dimond Street, on August 11th. P.C. Rees said that the man was drunk and made a considerable disturbance. He had in- terfered with a military picquet and shouted out very bad language. A letter was read from the defendant who said that some time ago his son was reported missing. That night he had news that his boy was safe and he asked the Bench to take this into account.—He was fined 10s. SUNDAY TRADING. There were the usual summonses against Feeci Luigi, Dimond Street, Seymour Gwytlier, Queen Street, and George Sargent, Queen Street who were each fined 5s. EJECTMENT ORDER. Mr. R. D. Lowless, applied on behalf of Lieut. Richard John, for an ejectment order against Lionel Phillips, 47, Arthur Street, Pembroke Dock. lie explained that this was another of those unfortunate cases ,which had arisen through the scarcity of houses in the town. Miss Maisie Bcntley, a clerk in Mr. Lowless' employ, gave evidence as to the serving of tho notices and Mr. Lowless said that the appli- cant who was on active service required the house to go into himself, as the house in which he lived had been sold. He had received a letter from Mr. Phillips, stating that he was willing to go out as soon as he could get a house, and asking that the order should be postponed until October 1st. To that lie would agree. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Phillips appealing to the Bench to allow him until October 1st. The Bench made an order for the defendant to leave the house within 21 days fiom Sept. 10th. AFTER THE APPLES. Frank Ely (11), and Edward Ely (13), of Llanion Barracks, Bernard Griffiths (10), Arthur Street, and David Evans (15), Pembroke Ferry, were jointly charged with stealing a quantity of apples, value 2s. the property of Mr.-Fred Hitchings, Llanion Terrace, between July 31st, and August 14th. Mr. F. W. Merriman appeared to prosecute. Griffiths pleaded not guilty and no evidence was offered against him, with the result that he was discharged. The other three lads ad- mitted succumbing to temptation. Mr. Merriman said that Mr. Hitchings had been away from home and these boys had known of it and taken advantage of the oppor- tunity to help themselves to the apples. Evans was the ring leader, and had led the others into it. There were some other boys who had also been there ,but it had not been possible to get the names of all. He could call evidence to show that the boys had been in the garden several times and had thrown stones at the trees. He could also call evidence to show that Evans taunted one boy with being a cow- ard because he would not follow him into the garden after apples. Oliver James, aged 15, said that he had seen Evans in Mr. Hitching's garden on three occas- ions, and had seen him take apples away. He had also seen the Ely's in the garden, and they also had apples. Evans said that he had been in the garden with the witness, James, twice, and James admitted that this was correct. The Clerk: That's the reason you know Evan,s was there. (Laughter.) Mr. Merriman was about to call further evi- dence when the magistrates intimated that they did not want to hear any more witnesses. The Mayor said that the boys had been guilty of a serious offence and the "Magistrates could not wink at it. David Evans would have to pay 5s. towards the costs and the other two lads would have to pay 2s. 6d. each towards the costs. The Mayor also warned James that he had escaped by a very narrow shave, and hoped lie would take the Bench's remarks as a caution.

SIR OWEN PHILIPPS, M.P. AND SHIPPING. I understand, writes the correspondent of the Western Mail," that Sir Owen Philipps is draw- ing Mr Balfour's attention to the fact that a large number of Italian steamers have been lying in Italian ports unemployed for consider- able periods. He suggests that steps should be taken to induce Italian shipowners to make full use of their steamers and thus release a correspond- ing number of British-vessels now employed in trading to and from Italy. Another point Sir Owen is dealing with is the abolition of the system of enemy control stations. Representations have all- ready been made n at the Foreign Office towards this end by the British steamship lines interested in the migration traffic from Northen and Eastern Europe to North and S.outh Atlantic ports. It is suggested that these stations should be abolished by agreement of the Allied nations.
