I Rhuddlan Parish Council. MONTHLY MEETING. FURTHER VENTILATION OF THE SEWERAGE QUESTION. Monday.—Present: Mr E R Beech (in the chair), Rev D G Lewis, and Messrs Thos. Hughes, H Barnett, Jos. Roberts, and Thos. Williams, with the Clerk (Mr Jas. Kilncr). The Cop Stiles. A. letter was read from the St Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council stating that [they were not liable for the repair of the stiles along the cop, and pointing out that the Parish Council had power to put them in order. Mr Hughes pointed out that it was a matter for the Embankment Trustees, and on the proposition of Mr Barnett, seconded by Mr Williams, it was decided to ask Mr Charles Grimsley to bring the matter to the notice of that body, of which he is clerk. Obstructing Telegraph Poles. A letter was read from the Superintendent Engineer of the North Wales Telegraph Dis- .trict promising that the question of obstruc- ting telegraph poles in the parish should receive immediate attention, and that the Council would hear further when all necessary enquiries were completed. Mr Barnett said that only the other day a young person had a very narrow escape from being run over owing to the room taken up on the footpath by one of these poles. Mr Roberts I think the King's Head corner ought to get attention whatever. The Sewerage Question. The Clerk reported having written 20 letters to owners of property urging them to see that their respective properties were properly con- nected with the new sewer. These had brought in nine replies, the majority of which were curt reminders that the property was already con- nected with the old sewer. Mr Barnett, speaking on behalf of the committee appointed to inquire into various matters, said they had ascertained that all existing connections would have to be made at the contractors' expense. Mr Hughes I think we ought to have trac- ings of the plans of the sewer and a copy of the specification. Mr Barnett We really ought to know what is in the specification. The few minutes we had to look over the specification the other day was altogether inadequate. Mr Hughes thought that certain members of the Rural District Council, if they knew any- thing about drains—and he questioned if some of them did- (laughter)—ought to make it their business to see how the work was pro- ceeding. Surface Water. Mr Barnett said there was no reference in the specification to the draining off of the surface water, and they were told by Mr Far- rington, the engineer, that that question did not come within his province. This, he thought, was very unfortunate, considering some of the places that had to be negotiated in wet weather. The other night he had to trudge through an ankle's depth of water, and he knew of at least one place where in winter the water would sometimes be found knee deep. On the proposition of Mr Hughes, seconded by Mr Barnett, it was decided to ask the County Council and the Rural District Council to do what they could to obviate the flooding, connections with the sewer at certain points being suggested. Concreting an Extra. In the course of further discussion it was stated that Mr Farnngton had explained that why a 12-inch pipe had been laid in High St. and only a (J-in pipe in Gwindy St was because the High Street, fall was not good enough for a I-inch pipe to suffice. With regard to the question of laying pipes in concrete the speci- fication simply stated that concrete should be put down where it was considered necessary and would be charged for as extra. The Chairman (in a surprised tone) What Mr Barnett Concreting will have to be paid for as extra. Mr Hughes That is how we have been let in, is it 'I Mr Barnett To me it seems very loose work. I think the term extra ought to have been left out. To Satisfy the Rhyl Coach Proprietors." Mr Hughes complained of the thickness of the manhole walls in certain cases. He thought they ought to be at least 14 or 18 inches thick, having regard to the depth, whereas they were only 9 inches thick. When he asked about the Hushing tanks he was put off with the observa- tion that such tanks would make the scheme too expensive. lIe thought that that was a case in which the rain water would have proved useful. It was also complained that the most urgent places were not being attended to as promptly as they might, and Mr Barnett ventured to express the opinion that the roads had been cut to satisfy the Rhyl coach proprietors. Mr Hughes I think the traffic ought to take its chance, and that the most urgent places should be dealt with first. This view was embodied in a resolution which it was unanimously decided to send to the Rural District Council. At the same time it was decided to apply for a copy of the specifi- cation.
