CRAY AND LLIW. [ I ———— I Swansea's Water I Balance at Reservoirs. 1 Swansea people are apt to think of their I water supply solely in terms of Cray; but I that is distinctly unfair to the other and I older waterworks. For instance, the pre- sent position is that about one-third of f the borough's supply comes from the ul,>per and Lower tliw reservoirs.- Reference has already been made in our columqs to the relatively good.'position of Swansea as to storage, bllt,ihis (Ic".s not I mean that there is water to waste. -The daily shrinkage of the balance in baud is I great, for much water is going out and very I?tle comin'? in.

This is -a,. eplendid thing for the works along the route, and tinplate mills at GOTseinon, for instance, would have bad to close down long ago were, it not for the million gallons released from the Lliw every day. If the reservoirs did notexfsi-, the works would have more water than they require in the rainy season, but they would be helpless in a dry season such as we are'at the moment enjoying.

Evans, a mem- ber of the committer, said he himself was j charged 8d. per quart. The Executive Officor (Mr. H. Bran-el' White) said such vendors were liable t«j prosecution. The excuse was that thoyj had no official notice of the reduction, bafc-i if the price had been increased instead of decreased, they would not have requirz notice. Mr. David Roderickmid the attitude ofi some of the milk vendors was one of a lute defiance I On the proposal of Mr. Roderick, the committee decided to have posters printekr-- drawing attention to the fact that the-j price of milk during, the whole oi Augu-sfcj Vras 2s. 4d. per gallon, and advising tL-a i public who had paid more than this t, get the overcharge refunded or have pl'<J>O! eeedings instituted.

Goree fires on Town Hill have been an annual occurrence for many. years, but such an exciting one as that of Tues- day afternoon has not occurred for a very long time. At about 3 o'clock a- fire broke out at the back of the Convalescent Home, and the Fire Brigade was im- mediately eent for. How the fire origiii- ated is not definitely known, but it is surmised that it was caused by the strong rays of the Slln, or by a smoulder- ing cigarette end. Under Inspector Evans, the brigade were soon on the scene, and soon got a section of the blaze under control. Tlieu fire broke out in another part of the gorse, and a similar outbreak occurred again, so that the .fireman were kept continually at work for many hours, i? being dusk before the fire was finally put? being du5k b-klre the fire was finally p,,i t A 'FERRY OUTBREAK. The Britonferry Fire Brigade was railed on Tuesday evening to a fire that had broken out in an enclosure at the top of Baglan Hill. After working a couple of hours the fire, confined to tho; undergrowth of some shrubs, was put out,, and tho fire was prevented from reach-' ing some cottages in the drinity.
