WELSH NATIONAL MEMORIAL. £ 300,000 SANATORIUM SCHEME. As a Welsh National Memorial to the late King Edward it has now been decided to raise the sum of £ 300,000 for the purpose of building, equipping, and endowing a Sanatorium for the treatment of consumption cases, and the move- ment, ably taken in hand and launched by Mr David Davies, M.P., of Llandinam, who has contributed the princely donation of £ 25,000, is now in full swing. Up to the present just about half the money required has been subscribed, and throughout the Principality strenuous efforts are being made to secure all the money wanted. Newspapers, Corporations, and public bodies generally are co-operating with the promoters in the matter, and judging by the ready and liberal response which is being made it looks as if the large sum wanted will s )on be in hand. In addition to Mr Davies's subscription two anonymous donors have given JS50,000 a piece, whilst there are many sub- scriptions of a thousand pounds and upwards. In connection with the movement we have re- ceived the following telegram from Mr David Davies:—"Editor, Tenby Observer. Shall be most grateful if you will kindly support Welsh National Memorial to King Edward by opening subscription list in aid of the movement. All donations will be acknowledged in Western Mail, Cardiff, under the name of your paper." We at once wired agreeing to do as suggested, and now invite our readers.to subscribe to this most laudable project. All subscriptions will be duly acknowledged in our columns, and for- warded to the proper quarter. The Mayoress of Tenby (Mrs T. Tucker) has also been re- quested to co-operate with the Western Mail in organizing a Welsh Women's Sovereign Fund in connection with the same movement, and has kindly consented to undertake the starting of such a fund for Tenby. It is proposed that women throughout the Principality should sub- scribe or collect a sovereign on behalf of the central fnnd. In an interview with the Mayor of Tenby he informed us that it was his inten- tion, in connection with this Sovereign Fund, to invite a few local ladies willing to co-operate in making the fund a success, to meet him in the Council Chamber, and provide them with collecting books. He mentioned that the pounds could be made up in any sums, from threepence upwards, and expressed the hope that there would be a ready response to so deserving an appeal. He has himself given five guineas to the central fund. To the Women's Sovereign Fund the Mayoress of Tenby has contributed a pound.

Popularity of a small cycle for juveniles as at present, grows apace, and it is astonishing how many small children are NOW to be seen riding cycles. It is a mistake, however, to think that any sort of machine will do for a youngster. It is as necessary that they should have rigid and reliable machines as that their elders should do so, and recognising THJS fact the Raleigh Cycle Co. make a speciality 0F juveni 1-e machines built on the same lines as their adults with correct design and crank length and manufactured throughout of steel. Notwithstanding these advantages the prices of the juvenile Raleigh compare most favourably with those of other makes who are NOT able to guarantee such excellence of manufacture.—The local agent for these popular MACHINES is Mr A. W. Randall, "The Motor House," Warren Street, Tenby.

—— A man named Marshall, employed at the Porthgain Brick and Granite Works, Solva, Pembrokeshire, lost his life under strange circumstances on Saturday evening, when he drowned himself in a pool near Velindre. Marshall, it is stated, had stolen a quart bottle of brandy from a public-house at Croesgoch, and when the theft was found out a search was made. It was ascertained that he and another WORKMAN had drank almost allAhe spirits. Marshall then rushed for the pond, and was seen to be in difficulties, becoming fixed in the mud. An alarm was given, but it was found that life was extinct when the body was re- covered. Marshall was an Army pensioner and a native of Southport, about 28 years of age. lie had worked at Porthgain several weeks. THB water had to be turned out before the body could be recovered. »♦>—— During the violent storm on Sunday night, H.M. cruiser Hampshire (Admiral Hawke) put into Fishguard Bay for shelter. At nine o'clock six bluejackets manned the whaler with THE Hampshire's mails to post at Fishguard. Meantime the gale increased in violence, and at eleven o'clock, when the men put off in the boat for the cruiser, which was at anchor about a mile outside the breakwater, the weather drove them back. Heavy seas were shipped, nearly swamping the boat timo after time. Fortunately about midnight the two-masted schooner Ensign, from Glasgow, entered the roads for shelter, and the bluejackets managed to hail the schooner, from which a line wits heaved, and all were taken aboard for the night. Every man was drenched to the skin. Meanwhile signals were received from the Hampshire that the boat had not returned, and Hampshire that the boat had not returned, and the Fishguard coast guard, under Chief-Officer Taylor, scoured the coast.

The defendants told the court that a mate of theirs told thfini to go aboard and have a feed, but they made a mis- take and went to the wrong ship. They dis- claimed any idea of going to steal or do damage. Defendants WERE each fined 28s., or 14 days' hard labour. Having no money, they had to accept the alternative,

DEATH OF MR. F. C. VETTER. 8.- It is with much regret that we this week chronicle the death, at the comparatively early age of fifty-five years, of Mr Franz Carlos Vetter, who with his family had been a regular visitor to Tenby for several years past. The deceased gentleman arrived at Tenby at the end of July, and with his family went into residence at No. 10, The Esplanade. He was unwell when lie reached Tenby, and died last Thursday night. The late Mr Vetter, who took Cumber- land House when he first came to Tenby ten years ago, was connected with the Burmah Rice and Trading Company, of London, a very important and influential City arm and was born at Ettlingen, Baden.

THE FUNERAL. The funeral took place at the Tenby Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon, in accordance with the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Church, the officiating priest being the Rev. Father Carew, of Holyrood and St. Teilo. In addition to the members and servants of de- ceased's family there were present the Rev. G. C. Rowe, M.A., Colonel Voyle, Dr. E. M. Knowling, Mr C. F. Egerton Allen, J.P., Mr Robert Lock, M.A., Mr F. E. L. Mathias- Thomas, Mr J. A. Bancroft. Mr J. Knowling, Mr Douglas Bancroft, and others. The coffin, conveyed to the cemetery in a hearse, was com- pletely hidden from view by the profusion of beautiful floral tributes which covered it. So numerous were the wreaths and flowers gene- rally that an extra carriage had to be provided for their conveyance to the cemetery. They were sent by relatives and friends, by leading City linns with whom the late Mr Vetter had business relations, and business houses in Bre- men, Hamburg, and Rangoon.

COMMITTEE MEETINQS. TITE CULVERT EXTENSION. MR. PREECE JAMES'S "B" PLAN APPROVED. G.W.R. AND QUEEN'S PARADE ROAD- WAY. GREENHILL AVENUE RESIDENTS' MEMORIAL. WELSH NATIONAL MEMORIAL. The usual weekly meeting of Tenby Cor- poration committees was held in the Council Chamber 011 Monday afternoon, under the chairmanship of the Mayor. After the reading of the last minutes, The Town Clerk reported that the plans sub- mitted by the engineers Simplex," "Civitas," and "Ritec" in connection with the extension of the Culvert on the South Sands, had been returned by the representatives of the late Mr George Chatterton, engineer, Westminster, together with a report on same. A long and animated discussion followed with the result that it was proposed, seconded and carried that scheme "B" submitted by "Civitas" (Mr J. Proece James, sanitary engineer and surveyor, Tenby), estimated to cost £3250, be approved of by the Council and sent in to the Local Government Board with a request that an enquiry should be held for the purpose of granting facilities for borrowing the necessary money to carry the scheme out. It waR agreed that the Borough Surveyor should be instructed to report on the feasibility of carrying out a suggestion made by a Coun- cillor for the extension of the sewer outlet near the Royal Victoria Pier for an additional dis- tance of eighteen feet or more. The report of the sub-committee appointed to consider the terms offered by the Great Western Railway Company regarding the laying out of Queen's Parade, -was read, and was to the effect that they could not recommend the Council to accept the Company's terms for tho alteration of the road leading to the Golf Links and the plan of the new road to Queen's Parade. The same committee also reported that they had met Mr Wilmot, the purchaser of the plot of land situated at the quarry near Queen's Parade, and this gentleman offered to meet the Council upon favourable terms if they required more land for the carrying out of the roadway. Mr Wilniot also asked that the erection of a bungalow and garage on the site should be approved of, and the matter was referred to the Borough Surveyor. A letter was read from the Improvement of Roads Committee asking that estimates and plans in connection with schemes of alteration of roadways in or near Tenby should be sent in not later than October 10th. It was understood that estimates and plans wore ready, and that same would be sent in immediately the Borough Surveyor returned from his holidays. It was unanimously agreed that the Town Clerk should write the Station Master at Tenby and call his attention to the very untidy con- dition of the road leading to the Golf Links, and also of the pathway and steps on the Green Hill, with the request that the railway company would have the places cleaned up. A letter was read from Captain Yarrow, ask- ing the Corporation's permission to remove the counter at the end of the Market, as by so doing the practice of the Miniature Rifle Club would be facilitated. The request was agreed to. A petition from the residents of Greenhill Avenue, objecting to the mortar-mill and engine now at work in that thoroughfare, was read, tiid received with some hilarity, the owner of the machinery (Mr W. H. Thomas) being a member of the Council, and present. The meeting de- cided that it was a matter for individual action, and not for the Corporation's interference. His Majesty's Inspector of Factories reported that several workshops in the town required white-washing, were overcrowded, or had other defects. The Town Clerk was instructed to write the persons named and request them to comply with the Inspector's requirements. The Medical Officer of Health wrote accepting the honorarium of JS33 granted him by the Council, but stating that he expected to be sup- plied with stationery in futuro, and by a majority it was agreed to accede to the application. The tenants of Hooper's Park and Parrott's Meadow, fields belonging to the Corporation gave notice of their intention to vacate SAME next September. A resolution was passed agreeing that the Town Clerk should allow 25 per cent, trade dis- count to persons selling the new Corporation guide. The Town Clerk produced a bundle of Forms IV. which he had filled up OIl behalf of Tenby corporate property. There were 170 forms, and members having examined several of them, taken by chance from the bundle, the Town Clerk was authorized to send them in to the. Land Valuation Officor. Before the breaking-up of the meeting, the Mayor stated that he had received an applica- tion from Mr David Davies, M.P., of Llan- dinam, to open a subscription list in connection with the Welsh National, Memorial to the late King Edward, and his Worship expressed the hope I hat lie would receive the assistance of the local newspapers. The proprietors, who were present at the meeting, intimated that they had also reeeiYfd lelegrams from Mr Davies, and they would be very pleased to join TH^ Mayor in making the appeal as effective as possible.
