OSWESTRY TOWN COUNCIL.—MONDAY. The Mayor (Councillor R Daniel) in the chair. FORTHCOMING CEREMONIES. .The Mayor stated that he had received two invitations on behalf of the Corporation. The first was the foundation stone laying of the Masonic Hall, on Thursday, October 17, at one o'clock. There several were members of the Council who were Freemasons and they would attend in the Masonic capacity JIe would be pleased if those who were mot Freefi&asesis would kindly be present with him tm that occasion. Tickets for the enclosure would be sent to him and he would be pleased to give them to those who would intimate their intention of being present. The second was an invitation from the Rey T Redfern to attend in state at Holy "Trinity Church on the first Sunday in November. r.The occasion was the unveiling of a memorial window to the late Queen Victoria, and he hoped to have a full representation of the Council and officials on that date. CORRESPONDENCE. A letter from the Home Secretary, acknowledg- ing the receipt of the vote of condolence passed by the Council on the death of the Dowager Empress of Germany was received.—A petition from a number of innabitants residing on the Selattyn and Oakhurst roads as to defective supply of water was referred to the General Purposes Committee. Messrs Williams and Nicholson wrote with regard to the proposed diversion of a footpath. The Town Clerk stated that the diversion would take place outside the borough, but as the inhabitants used the path it was an act of kindness to ask the Council's sanction -The matter was referred to the General Pnrposes Committee.— The Town Clerk reported that he had received a letter from the Borough Surveyor, in which he asked that his salary should be reconsidered.—The application was referred to the General Purposes Committee.— J A. letter from Mr R O Wright complaining of the 'A tatate of Market street was referred to the same committee. BATH LOAN: SANCTION GRANTED. The Town Clerk reported that he had received -,8, letter from the Local Government Board sanc- tioning the application for the loan of J61500 for the purpose of constructing a swimming bath in in the gymnasium (applause).—The Mayor pro- posed that the communication be referred to the Gymnasium Committee, with power to invite ten- ders.—Mr Maclardy seconded the proposition, and it vraa agreed to. THE RATES. The Mayor proposed that a general district rate ■ of Is 2d in the X be made, and a borough rate to provide for E736, be made, and that the School Board precept of £594713 be approved.-In reply to Alderman Lacon, the Mayor said the School j Board precept was exactly the same as before.- f Agreed. THE SWINE FEVER ORDER. The adoption of a recommendation by the Mar- 's kets Committee that the sum of £ 28 be paid Mr -.James Percy, the lessee of the Smithfield, as com- ipensation for loss of tolls through the Swine Fever Order, was moved by Mr Btemner Smith.— The Town Clerk stated that at the meeting at \which this matter was considered he was instructed Ho write to the Board of Agriculture pressing them 'for a reconsideration and asking that the market be opened. He thought it was very desirable, knowing from past experience that something per. sonal should be done in regard to the matter as it was one of extreme importance to the town, and he saw the official in London and they went into the matter generally. They knew the arguments that were used, but the principal one was that the operation of the Swine Fever Order had been to open markets which were not inspected by a veterinary surgeon, and to close the markets in- spected. He was authorised unofficially to state that the Oswestry market would be re-opened this week or the next (hear, hear). They were glad to < c()U,iv with the wishes of Oswestry and recognised thefincott^enience caused to the town and neigh. ) bourhood, "d they appreciated everything that 1 had been doaa in the town with regard to inspec- t. tion of the market. He had received no official -sanction yet, but he was informed by the official whom he saw that he was entitled to make that -publicly known. Following on that he said there was one matter on which they were extremely anxious. The Corporation was aware that now they had no power to appoint an inspector of the mar- ket. Up to the present it bad been done by the Council voluntarily, and the salary had been paid voluntarily. The Board desired to recognise in the warmest manner mo aeuou ur cue lunu Ouuuyii in this respect but they wished him to say publicly that they considered it was not a state of things that ought to be allowed to go on. They considered that the County Council ought not only to appoint, but also to pay for an inspector at the Smithfield, and they desired in the strongest manner to call the Town Council's attention to it and ask them to pass a resolution suggesting that this should be done, and they bad also, he understood, called the atten. tion of the County Council to it. He had told the Chairman of the Markets Committee who was also a members of the Executive Committee of the County Council, what was done in the matter, and he would tell them what had been done at the Committee in regard to it.-Mr Bremner Smith said be was going to move later a resolution in regaid to the inspector.—The Mayor said the lessee of the tolls claimed JE28, and he further explained that the Town Clerk was arbitrator in the matter. He was glad the order was to be removed. He felt glad that the Town Clerk went to London for his power of persuasion was such as would have the order quickly removed. — The recommendation having been adopted, Mr Bremner Smith moved that a memorial or petition be sent to the County Council or their Execative Committee urging upon them to appoint a veterinary inspector. It was no secret to tell them that the Board of Agriculture had issued a circular not only to the Shropshire County Council but to all County Council* urging upon them their duty in appointing veterinary in. spectors to attend markets and to pay them. That being the case it appeared to him that the only question was the expense of the inspectors. The matter was favourably entertained by the Execu- tive Committee of the County Council on Saturday. It appeared that up to 1898 the County Council had control of swine fever and swine fever orders, but then the Board of Agriculture took upon them- selves those powers, but instead of appointing an inspector as had been done at Oswestry the Board appointed inspectors to go about the connty, and now they bad again given the power to the County Council. At the committee on Saturday he urged that it was not the question of cost which was the most important but the question of having the markets all right. As the chairman was not present the matter was deferred until another meeting. The chairman of the County Council expressed himself favourably on the subject. He moved that the County Council be urged to appoint inspectors for all markets.—Alderman Whitfield seconded.— Mr T Edwards suggested that they should ask the County Council to confirm the appointment of their present inspector. The Town Clerk said he would like to state that the official whom he saw, spoke in the highest possible terms of the services of Mr Hughes, the Veterinary Inspector.-The pro- position was ageeed to. TREES ON THIC RECREATION GROUND. Mr S Parry Jones brought up the report of the Gymnasium and Recreation Ground Committee, which recommended that trees be planted on the recreation ground at an estimated cost of zE7, and that a hedge be planted at an estimated cost of £3. —After expressing satisfaetion that the Local Government Board had sanctiolled borrowing power for the loan for the bath, Mr S Parry Jones said when the inspector was in Oswestry he said the recreation ground looked bare. It was the Committee's intention to have six trees planted on the Oak-street side, seven in Ash-road, and four on the Lorne-street side of the recreation grounds, the trees being chestnut and sycamore. The hedge would be planted on the top side of the ground at the back of the houses in Y ork-street.- Adopted. THE MARKETS EXTENSION. Mr Bremner Smith proposed that the Town Clerk be instructed to obtain a provisional order enabling the Council to borrow money for completion of the Cross Markets extension. He explained that the markets extension as at present completed would cost about £5000,and he was quit e satisfied that it would certainly not require JE500 for extras, but in order to be on the safe side he put down the expense at £5,500. They had agreed to retain the land on which the Three Tuns stood, and therefore the money which they thought they would realise by the sale of that land they would not get. The opinion of the committee was that the market should be extended to Bailey street, whether for market purposes or for shops had not been deter- mined. The cost would be about zElOOO, and he suggested that the Town Clerk take steps to pro- cure £ 5,000.—The Town Clerk said he had in- tended for Mr Smith to call attention to this matter only. The Council in January last agreed to borrow this money, and this was done really on the suggestion of the Local Government Board. At present they had a temporary loan from the bank and the Council now wanted to put the loan on a legal footing, by paying back the bank and getting money for the extension.—Agreed. THE LIGHTING OF THE TOWN. The Mayor gave a report of the doings of the Watch Committee.—It was decided to approach the Kitsjn Petroleum Incandescent Lighting Company, and ask them whether they would be prepared to put a light in one of the streets, so that the Council might have an opportunity of judging, and whether they would do it free of charge. The company had agreed to give them a light free for a month, and the light would be put up that evening in Oswald road.—Mr J Parry Jones supposed that the extra lamps recommended before would be erected during the coming winter. —The Mayor replied that that was included in the report, and they did not know whether they would go on with that part of the report.—The present standards could not be used for the new light. THE USE OF FOUL LANGUAGE. Mr J P Sheather thought there was another matter which called for attention and that was the use of foul and disgusting language in the streets of the town (hear, hear). He wanted to know whether they could draw the attention of the police to it.- The Mayor said he was glad Counoilh r Sheather had raised the question. The Council had no power in the matter, but he, in the capacity of mayor, bad spoken to the police and he thought they would find an improvement had taken place during the past few months.—The Council then went into commit- tee on the selection of a mayor for the ensuing year, a paragraph of which will be found in another column.

.—— ♦ — An extraordinary incident occurred on Sunday evening at Chichester Cathedral. Special services were held to celebrate the festival of dedication of the Cathedral, and after a sermon preached by the Rev Philip Wagget, one of the Cowley fathers, the Rev John Henderson, rector of St Pancras, Chi- chester, rose, and addressing the Dean, protested against what he described as Romish doctrine taught by the preacher. Mr Henderson then left the Cathedral. The Bishop of Chichester was present. A special afternoon service was held in Crosth- waite Church on Sunday, at which Canon Rawnsley delivered an address on The Christian life and work of Alfred the King." The Very Rev William Hagger Barlow was on Saturday ins-tailed at a special service in Peter- borough Cathedral as Dean of Peterborough. The Million Shilling Fund of the diocese of Llan- daff, which is intended as a free-will thank-offering, to be made, if possible, within the first year of the 20th century, is to be advocated with renewed effort during the approaching winter months. There is much to do, seeing that it is yet short of 100,000 shillings, but the Diocesan Fund has been collected for in addition. The sittings of the Church Congress at Brighton were brought to a close yesterday week. In the morning, devotional meetings were held in the Dome and at the Corn Exchange, and addresses were delivered on Temperance, Faith, and Hope. At the afternoon meeting, held in the Dome, the subject for consideration was the Retention of the Young under Religious Influences. The afternoon sectional meeting, held in the Corn Exchange, was devoted to a discussion of the Temperance question. It is announced that the Bishop of London is arranging for a round table conference on ritual, similar to that convened by the late Bishop Creigh. ton, to meet.ali Fulham either at the end of the present year or early in 1902. In recognition of the Bishop of Lichfield's con- secration in 1891 he has been presented with a silver-gilt chalice, with six enamels round the base, and a silver-gilt paten, enclosed in an oak case. Lord Salisbury has contributed one hundred pounds to the Capetown Cathedral Memorial Fund. It is announced that the new St. Ethelwold's Church at Shotton, in Hawarden parish, will contain three stained lancet windows, given by the children of Dean Wickham, of Lincoln, in memory of their grandmother, the late Mrs Gladstone. The church is now nearly complete. The Rev L M Owen was instituted to the living of Hanmer by the Bishop in St Asaph at the Cathedral, on Saturday, and entered on his duties on Sunday, when he read the thirty-nine articles, and made the usual declaration.
