Y,551659 PAVING SCHEME. a COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER REPORT ON SWANSEA STREET IMPROVEMENT LANDOHE RIGHT OF WAY. Swansea Highways Committee met on Tuesday, Aid. T. Merreils presiding. The Borough Surveyor (Mr. George Bell) reported that a retaining wall had been blown down at Plasrnat-i, and the cost or repairing would be ;Li-)8, which would fall on tixe Corporation as the adjoining road bad been taken over. The Chairman contended that it was time that the Corporation put its special Acts into operation, because walls were put up without any inspec- tion whatever. \Vith the result that when the Corporation took the wall over they found themselves saddled with its up-keep, however jerry-built it might have beeu. They, should see that i iev see that such walls should be substantially built seeing that they had the power to com- pel this. In this case, if the- Town Clerk came to the conclusion that they weer liable, the work shouid be taken in hand, because the lives ot the public could not be endangered. The Chair- man also requested the members to notify the borough Surveyor where water was percolating on to the roads, because they had powers to call upon the owners of the land from which it came to abate the nuisance- Satisfactory progress was reported as to the work of erecting the bridge at Pl&smarl. Landore Rieht-of-Wav. Mr. W. G. Lloyd called attention to the fact that owing to another bridge in that district undergoing repairs, a fcwing bridge at Lanuore, itadmg to the Millbrook Works, over" which there had Bxisted a right or way tor years had been closed, and iron gates put at each end. This was a great inconvenience to the worknien, who had to go round. He had seen Mr. Jack Prescott, the manager of the works, who said that there was a private right of way to tho works, but, owing to the G. W .R. refus- irig to repair the bridge., his hrm had been compelled to close it. He sug- gested that a deputation should wait upon the MUbrook Company. The Chairman said that it had been a public right of way tor thirty years, and there was no need for a. deputation. **■ Mr. Lloyd said that the bridge, for manv years, was closed at nights, but j latterly had been open altogether. Answering the Town Clerk, Mr. Lloyd fraid that the G.W.R. Company had ob-I tained from the Milbrook Company the Tight to put up gates. i The Town Clerk was instructed to I take the matter up. I The Borough Surveyor, having re- j ported that the Local Government I Board's sanction had been obtained for I the borrowing of E4,000 for the Cwm- road paving, whereupon the Chair-I man proposed that as they contemplated j further street making, the matter of Cwm-road should be left over so as to j get one contract. This was agreed to, I Complaints having been received that at Danygraig one side of a street was named Farm-lane, and the ocrier j side Kinsley-terrace, and the numbers I were the same on both sides. Mr. W. G. Lloyd drew attention to the inconvenience of this arrange- ment, and it was decided to discon- tinue the use of the name Farm-lane and call all the street Kinslev-terrace. E55,659 Paving Scheme. I The Borough Surveyor presented a detailed report on the estimated costs of paving certain streets at an esti- mated total cost of 1:5.5,659. The various totals were:—Asphalte maca- dam. £ 15,151 on a seven years' loan at 31", per cent. an annual charge of £ 2,478; wood paving, total cost 122,03;3; 10 years' loan annual charge, £ 2,648; granite pitching, £ 18,473; 20 years' loan, apnual charge, £ 1,300; total annual charge, £ 6,426, an in- crease on the present annual charges I of £ 2,614 I The Mayor complained that in the I estimates, provision had been made to pave Fabian-street and Port Tennant- road (to the tram terminus) with granite pitching. This was the prin- cipal street in St. Thomas, and prapti- » ——— cally every busi.1f-s, house on each side was a business house for at least half a mile. The i-ioi-se was unbearable, and it was like going through a tunnel, and he did not think the granite setts should be put down there. The Chairman explained that this w" simply a preliminary report, and was open to revision, alteration, addi- tion, or deletion. They had approved of the principle, and they were now engaged on the preliminaries. A Special Committee. The matter was adjourned to a special committee in order for the members of the committee to study the report, the Chairman remarking that it was a big matter. At that meeting a report will I he submitted hy the Chairman and Mr. D. J. Davies, who visited Sidoup by ar- rangement with the Roads Board.

WHY A. IILLP i fl§ 5\ "Every Picture tells a Story. l 1^ Up an ? Do?? ??/?, ???J/? ?? H?or?, Worry, Fatigue, CoM?, CA?? are Rheumatism and Causes of A'f?? Weakness, 7V?Mr?/??. "Why am* I ill" How many a.sk this question, and how often with a feeling of despair III again and again—day after day—headache, rheumatic pains, backache,, neuralgia,, urinary troubles, constant tiredness, depression, loss of appetite, and appar- ently no cure. But it. is just sucli common symptoms as these that oliould make you suspect tha u your kidneys arc out of order. Once the trouble is traced to its cause it can be dealt with properly and prob- ably permanently, but only if you take a kidney medicine. Doan's Backache Kid- ney Pills act directly and efficaciously on the kidneys and the kidneys only. If your kidneys are weak, or diseased. and therefore unable to carry out their work, the blood becomes loaded with uric acid poison, then the whole body is slowly poisoned. Doan's Pills strengthen the kidneys, and help them to drive these poisons out of the body. If kidney poisons are allowed to ac- cumulate in the system the results are such complaints as Dropsy, Gravel, Stone, Kidney Disorders of many kinds. Rheumatism, Lumbago, Neuralgia and Sciatica. I Among the early symptoms of kidney trouble are Backache, Pains in the Loins, Headache, Urinary Troubles, Watery Swellings round the ankles and under the eyes, Constant Tiredness, and D izjjiness. TREBOETH PROOF.— Mrs. E. Squires, of 1, Roger-street, near the Caei-salem Baptist Chapel, Tre- boeth, near Swansea, says:—"My back was vei-v painful some time ago. The pains were so bad at times that T could I not rest in bed. I was also troubled i with headaches and giddiness, and had no energy to do anything. "There were other symptoms which indicat-l kidney disorder, but after using some of Doan's backache kidney pills I was .greatly relieved. A short course soon relieved me of the com- plaint. I confidently recommend Doan's pills for kidney trouble. (Signed) (Mrs.) E. Squires." In 2/9 boxes only, six boxes 13/9. Never sold loose.

I WATER NUISANCE.I
I WATER NUISANCE. l1li 1 .1 i MAYOR AND THE STACSENT POOLS | HEAR LA?BcRT COTTAGES. f I I NO DIPHTHERIA, '-1 I The Mayor (Councillor DavM WiI- Ji liams) presided at a meeting of the Swansea Heålt'eommjttee on Tues- day. The Chairman drew attention to me great nuisance arising from wa?er becoming stagnant near Lamberts' Cottages owing to certain road works which were being carried out by the Harbour Trust. Workmen were going on the south side of the East Dock to reach their homes rather than pass the water. The trustees were having the holes filled in, but that would take some time, and if there was any hot- weather the results would be most serious. It was stated that the proper way to remove the water was to pump it into the sewer near by. The Town Clerk was instructed to call on the. Trustees to abate the nuisance. No Diphtheria. I The Medical Officcr reported that during the past four weeks the death rate was 13.9. He observed that there had not been a single case of diphtheria' notified last week. Ho urged that the Highways Committee take steps to consider the improvement of the side streets, and not in their efforts con- centrate merely on those streets in the middle of the town. Mr. Tutton: A verv good suggestion. I Medical Report. The Medical Officer of Health (Dr. E^ v;ans) reported that the birth, rate for. tiler past rfour.. weeks was 29.9 per 1,000, as against 32.1 tor the same period last year, whilst the comparative death rates were 13.9 and 13.2 respec- tively. The infantile mortality returns were 95 deaths per 1,000. In view of the proposal of the Highway Com- mittee to expend £ 55,000 on street improvements in the centre of the town he suggested certain back streets should be asphalted. The children used these streets as a playground, and it would he a great boon if the streets were im- proved. At Croydon all the slum 6treets were asphalted where the infant mortality was high and had excellent Yr,ortality was ti-gli anc l had excellent Mr. Tutton thought it was an excel- lent idea. limit for Habitation. Dr. Evans presented a return showing that there were 82 houses unfit tor habitation, and 112 closing orders had been made. In tally two ces where notices had been served were the houses put in a fit state. That committee had not t.o deal with housing but ought to draw attention t-o it. It was for an- other committee to solve the problem. Mr. Codd, the rent collector, had re- fused some applicants as being un- desirable. Mr. Tutton: What do you mean by undesirable ? The Medical Officer of Health: They do not pay the rent. Mr. W. G. Lloyd: They will pull the house down. in five minutes. Mr. William Owen: They are not all as bad as that. Mr. Codd wants a guarantee that the rent will be paid every Monday morning. A good many of these tenants are casual workers, and if they cannot pay this week they will pay next. Mr. Codd treated the matter as merely a business one. The Mayor pointed out that the Housing Committee had had to wipe off a lot of bad debts. They could not afford to put up houses and let people have them as they liked. Mr. William Owen: It is no good serving closing orders on them, if you are going to turn them out on the road. The Mayor said that the Housing Committee had to provide against the possibility of the houses becoming a charge on the rates. Mr. Wm. Owen complained that Mr. Codd did not give individual considera- tion to each case. Wrhat was the use of making closing orders when the people had nowhere to go? The Medical Officer of Health said that in a good many cases the land- lords when these orders weremaat) rather than have the tenants turned out and lose them, would prefer to do something. He suggested that the members shouid go and see the Strand with him. The Mayor: I don't want to go to the Strand, there are worse at Fox- hole. The Medical Officer of Health: Then go in for an improvement scheme and compensate the tenants The Mayor said he quite agreed with the Housing Committee, and as far as possible the committee should help them,, and he would not be one to force their rent collector to let the houses indiscriminately. The Medical Officer of Health stated exceptionally that no people had been turned out without anywhere to ceo. Dangers of Overcrowding. The Mayor further drew attention to the. evils of overcrowding, and said that they had cases of girls of 15 having to sleep with their parents- Overcrowd- ing injured the people physically an d mentally, so that they did not know that they were living in bad conditions, and that must lead to moral injury. It was finallv decided to ask the Housing Committee to instruct the rent collector to a.s far as possible give the preference to people on whom closing orders had been served. I A Cray Farmer. Arising out of a statement in the Medical Officer of Health's report re- garding Mr. McTurk, the sheep farmer of Cray, the Mayor asked, "I wonder whether we shall ever finish with Mr. McTurk ?" (Laughter.) Mr. D. J. Davies: Not on this earth. (Laughter.) The Town Clerk said he had had deal- jngs with Mr, McTurk, and had found him the most unreasonable man he had ever met. (Laughter.)
