THE HEALTH OF MACHYNLLETH.
THE HEALTH OF MACHYNLLETH. Important Recommendations by Dr. A. O. Davies. The following is the annual report of Dr A. O. Davies, the Medical Officer of Health for the past yt,ar:- BIRTHS. During the year there were registered 36 births, of which 22 were males and 14 females. The birth rate is, I am happy to state, considerably higher than that of last year, but still shows a deplorable decrease on the years preceding that. The following table shows the birth rate for the last nine years 1900 1901 1902 1903 1901 1905 1906 1907 1903 No. of births 4 j, 15 36 48 41 40 35 24 36 Birth rate 24.08 24.5 li.1> 23.5 20.1 23.5 17.6 11.2 17.6 (The calculations are based upon the (estimated pop- ulation of 2038). DEATHS. The total number of deaths registered in the district for the year amounts to 26, which compares very favourably with that of last year, which was 40. This Lumber (26) includes one death occurring in the Workhouse, and two deaths upon which a coroner's inquest was held. The mortality rate for the year is thus 12.7 per 1000 inhabitants as compared with 19.6 per 1000 for last year. Although there is a substantial decrease in the death rate, it is still far too high, when the natural advantages of the town are compared with those of a large city such as London, where the death rate for the year was only 14 per 1000 inhabitants. The deaths are tabulated as follows TABLE A. Number of deaths in different quarters. Male. Female. Total, 1st Quarttr ending 31st March 5 4 9 2ud „ 30th June 2 4 6 3rd Si)til September 2 3 5 ith.. 31st December 1 5 6 ™ 10 16 26 Total deaths—26. Death rate-12.7 per 1,000.

During the past year 36 births were registered and two deaths of cbiidren under one year. This gives an infantile mortality rate of 55.5 per 1,000, which is, with one exception, the lowest mortality rate we have I recorded for the past 10 years. This is an eminently satisfactory state of affairs, for I regard the Infantile mortality rate as a gauge of the perfection of the sanitary condition of a town, and of the intelligence and health of its inhabitants. It therefore reflects highly on the inhabitants, and especially the mothers, of any community where the infantile mortality is a low one. From analysis of of the foregoing tables it will bo seen that again this year tuberculosis heads the list as demanding the heaviest toll of life. The very fact of this being so is my apology, nay, my very strongest reason, for again urging that the Council in particular and the towns- people in general give to this subject their most earnest consideration. It is a disease, which, owing tjits insiduous onset, its gradual, but none the less certain progress is not accorded the attention it merits. The preventative measures I dealt with in my last year's report, but at the risk of frequent repetition, I again call attention to the extreme effi- cacy of fresh air in the treatment of this disease; fresh air in abundance, and good nourishing food are the essentials in combating it, the open window and the open door often prove as potent &8 the most powerful medicine. The curative measures include complete isolation as far as is possible from the remaining members of the family, and removal to a sanatorium in early oases. I cannot pass from this subject without referring to the important bearing that milk has upon it, and, indeed, upon the health in general. It is of primary importance that milk should be of the purest. In the recently published report of the Royal Com- mission on Tuberculosis it was proved without the shadow of a doubt that the milk of a cow which suffers from a tuberculosis ulcer of the udder-a disease to which cows are very prone-or which has tuberculosis in any form. is highly infective, and that persons consuming such milk are very liable to develop tuberculosis. The Council should therefore very strongly urge upon the milk vendors in the town the great importance of examining their cows care- fully so that at least this avenue of infection may be closed. I am happy to find that this year cancer has not claimed any victims. It is also very satisfactory to note that there are only six deaths which occurred under age of 25, as contrasted with 12 which occurred over the age of 60. ZYMOTIC DISEASES. Again this year I am pleased to report that there have been no deaths from zymotic diseases. SEWAGE DISPOSAL. The new sewerage and sewage disposal system was formally opened on September 11th, 1908. I am sorry that the progress made in the provision of drains for cottages that have no drains, and the conversion of privies into water closets is extremely slow. Up to the present time only about half the sewerage of the town is being treated under the new system. I would most strongly urge that special attention be paid to this matter with a view to compelling all property owners to place their property in good sanitary con- dition as soon as possible. NUISANCES. Twenty cases of nuisances were dealt with during the year. These were due to defective drains, foul privies, and want of proper sanitary conveniences. Nine statutory notices were served, but in no instance did legal proceedings become necessary. FACTORIES AND WORKSHOPS. In regard to factories and workshops I have nothing of special importance to note. There are no out workers in the district, and the number of employes in any of the workshops dees not exoeed four. There are five bakehouses, but only two have em- ployees. The cubic space and, the cleanliness were generally satisfactory. NEW HOUSES. Plans of two semi-detached villas were submitted and approved during the year. The dearth of new houses is doubtless explained by the slackness of trade in the district. WATER SUPPLY. The supply of water has been continuous and plentiful during the year, the only complaint being the discolouration occurring during the warm weather when the reservoir is not overflowing for some weeks. The question of providing filter beds has been con- sidered by the Council, and a report and estimate of cost has been prepared by Mr Lowoock, M.I.C.E., engineer to the sewerage works. The matter, how. ever, was deferred until after the completion of the sewerage and sewage disposal contract. I trust that the Council will again give this matter due considera- tion at an early date. FAIRS AND MARKETS. Considerable discussion has taken place on the question of holding the fairs-and especially the sheep fairs-on the Park Common, but no definite decision has been arrived at. Many of the inhabi- tants and visitors have complained of the nuisance caused by the sheep fairs, and I hope something will be done to remedy these recurring complaints at an early date. SCAVENGING. The removal of house and street refuse was carried out by contract as in the past, the house refuse being removed three days a week and deposited on land nearly half a mile from the nearest dwelling-house. Complaints were made of street refuse being left in heaps about the streets over night on several occasions, this was due to the difficulty in obtaining a horse on hire in a short notice. The Council would do well to possess its own horse and cart so as to be able to remove the refuse at any time, and also to have the house refuse collected daily. COMMOH. Two years ago the Board of Agriculture sanctioned a scheme for regulating the common land in the distriot, and bye-laws made thereunder were sub- mitted to the Local Government Board for approval about a year ago, but have not been sanctioned yet. I trust this matter be pressed forward so that the nuisance caused by the travelling hawkers with tents and vans camping off the Common may be dealt with more effectively. PUBLIC HEALTH ACT, 19[)7. The work entailed in carrying through the sewage works has doubtless caused the question of adopting parts of the Public Health Act of 1907 to be deferred. A copy of the Act has been distributed to each member of the Council for their private perusal. I would strongly recommend the ad visibility of adopt- ing parts of this useful Act as it will materially strengthen our power to deal with insanitary con- ditions. CONCLUSION. In conclusion I would particularly urge the follow- ing matters (a) Provision of properly constructed drains to every dwelling-house in connection with the sewerage system. (b) Prompt conversion of privies into water closets. (C) Transference of fairs—particularly sheep fairs —from the streets. (d) Efficient filtration of the water supply. Finally, I beg to thank the Council and all its officers for their unfailing courtesy and kindness to me in the performance of my duties.

NEWS OF THE WEEK. The Earl of Hardwicke died from pneumonia, after only two days' illness. The King travelled to Pau and witnessed two successful flights by Mr Wilbur Wright's aero- plane. Montreal Station has been partially wrecked as the result of a railway accident. Twenty-six people were killed and injured. We announce the death, at Bordighera, of Earl Egerton of Tatton, a nobleman of varied interests, and an agricultural enthusiast. The Queen made customary gifts of shamrocks to the Irish Guards, in celebration of St Patrick's Day, which was accorded full honours by the regi- ment at Windsor. Eleven lives have been lost by a collision in the North Sea, which resulted in the sinking of the German barque Margretha, the victims including the captain and his baby boy. As on the previous occasion, Croydon is to have a three-cornered contest, Mr Frank Smith, re- cently rejected at Taunton, having come forward as Labour-Socialist champion. A supplementary vote of £ 8,000 for the Board of Agriculture elicited a debate on the Small Holdings Act, the administration of which came in for a good deal of criticism. The London County Council's discussion of the district auditor's report on the year's accounts led to exciting scenes, which at one moment reached a degree of positive disorderliness. The King has awarded the Albert medal to the saiiors Henry Smith and James Reed, of the steamship Afonwen, for their eallant conduct in saving life on the occasion of the Messina earth- quake. America's Tariff Bill was introduced in the House of Representatives. It embodies a maxi- mum and minimum tariff, and in the shifting of duties the reductions are more numerous than the increases. Under the chairmanship of the Lord Chancellor, a remarkable representative company gathered at a complimentary banquet to mark their apprecia- tion of :ir Douglas Straight at the moment of his practical retirement from active public lite. The extraordinary state of affairs in Paris con- sequent upon the postal strike is comparable in some respects to the effects ot a seige. Something like a famine is threatened owing to the impos- sibility of getting orders through by post or wire. Mr Wellman's airship expedition to the North Pole is expected to occupy three days, that i, if the weather is at all favourable. Some interesting particulars of the expedition and the airship were I given in an interview by Mr Vaniman, who WTII take part in the expedition. Lieut. Petrosino, the best known of America's Italian detectives, has fallen a victim to his bitter enemies, whom he pursued with such success, the Black Hand." He had gone to Palermo in pur- suance of a mission connected with certain Sicilian criminals, and was shot dead in a lonely street, his assassins escaping. The strategic value of the proposed canal across Scotland was the principle point urged in a dis- cussion of the subject by the Forth and Clyde Canal National Association. The Duke of Suther- land presided, and the Duke of Argyll was among those who advocated the scheme, the cost of which is estimated at £ 17,000,000. The Prince and Ptincess of Wales visited the City for the distribution of prizes to the 1st (Cadet) Battalion King's Royal Rifles. After the presentation the Prince delivered an interesting address, in which he referred specially to the patriotism of Australia, where cadet corps numbering 40,000 members had been- raised. A seaman, who proved to be an engineer, named William Sproull, attached to a steamship lying in Victoria Docks, was found in Leman-street, Whitechapel, at an early hour of the morning, stabbed to the heart. Bloodstains were traced to a tenement house close by, and there the police arrested two men and two women. Later in the day the four prisoners were charged with the wilful murder of the deceased man. A dramatic acquittal occurred at the Central Criminal Court in the case in which two men and Thomas J. Davis, dispenser, were indicted for forging and uttering a deed. Davis had con- cluded his evidence when Mr Justice Phillimore observed to the jury, Gentlemen, my advice to you is to acquit that man." On his lordship fur- ther explaining his opinion, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty," and Davis was discharged. A valuable lesson as to the use which may be made in the event of invasion of privately owned motor-cars was afforded by a remarkable military experiment successfully carried out through the publie-spirited action of the Automobile Associa- tion Four hundred cars conveyed from London to Hastings a composite battalion of Guards with all their fighting impedimenta. An average speed of twenty miles an hour was realised. The event aroused the greatest public interest. The growing burden of education on the rates constituted the case which an influential deputa- tion, representing the country's local education authorities, laid before the Prime Minister. Mr Asquith intimated that when the time came- very shortly he hoped-to deal with the whole question of Imperial and local taxation, he would not forget the almost primary claim of education. Meanwhile, he thought that much easier terms should be given for the repayment of building crants. During an important discussion of the Naval Estimates in the Reichstag Committee Admiral von Tirpitz flatly contradicted vlr McKenna's cal- culation that in 1912 Germany would have seven- teen Dreadnoughts and Invincibles. The actual number, declared the Minister, would be thirteen, and he added that the assumptions with regard to German shipbuilding were incorrect. More than one speaker expressed a wish in the direction of arriving at some kind of agreement with Great Britain in regard to limiting naval armaments. Having re-oovered from his recent illness, the Earl of Mayo returned to the witness-box to give evidence as one of the defendants in the action brought by Mr J. C. Barker against certain direc- tors of the Electro-Peat Coal Company (Ltd.) Mr Rufus Isaacs' cross-examination produced some amusipg exchanges. Pressed several times as to the value of his name on the prospectus, Lord Mayo at length replied," I have not appraised my name. You may go on asking it all day if you like." Syndicates, declared his lordship a little later, came flying about electro-peat like moths round a candle. Well, then, you ought to have been very careful," suggested counsel, careful!" was the retort," I had nothing to do with the blooming things."

THE WEEK IN PARLIAMENT.
THE WEEK IN PARLIAMENT. PRINCE IN THE COMMONS. The Prince of Wales, a regular attendant at the House of Commons on big Navy nights," visited the House on Tuesday afternoon, and took his seat over the cloe4 His Royal Highness, who fol- lowed the answers of Ministers with much interest, was the witness of a notable incident Mr Lloyd George made his first appearance at the table te answer a question, since his victory over his slanderers, and no sooner did he rise to reply to Mr Chiozza Money than he was received with an outburst of cheering from all parts of the House which lasted for a considerable time. THE NAVY. Rarely has a more important Ministerial state- ment been heard in the House of Commons than that made by the First Lord of the Admiralty in explanation of the Navy estimates. At the outset Mr McKenna entered into the figures to show that, though the increase in the current year's estimates amount to X2,823,200, when account is taken of automatic increases, and the charge for amounts in repayment of loans, the increase in controllable expenditure is reduced to XI,323,000, But, after making all allowances, the vote required the strongest justification, especially from one who claimed to be an earnest economist. That justi- fication, he declared, amidst general cheers, was found in the safety of the country. No matter what the cost, the safety of the country must be assured." The limits for us must be fixed by the progress of other Powers, and none of the Powers was developing their naval strength at a pace comparable with that of Germany. It was Ger- many, tnerefore, that Mr McKenna selected as the standard by which to measure this country's re- I quirements. GERMANY'S PACE. The detailed comparison which followed, relat- ing to the newest types of battleships and cruisers, was one of greatest interest and significance. A year ago, Mr McKenna showpd we had a superior- ity in Dreadnoughts and Invincibles as compared with Germany of. ten to five in the course of con- struction, with a clear advantage in point of time of completion. The Government's present diffi- culty was that they did not know the rate at which German construction was taking place, but under thatrcountry's new Naval Law they had I to reckon that not nine, but thirteen, ships might be cumplt-ted in 1911, and in the following year such further ships as begun in the new financial year. NO RISKS TO RE RUN. After paying a tribute to the remarkable growth of Germany's power of construction, Mr McKenna entered into details of the home programme to arrive at the conclusion that by April, 1912, or at least by the autumn of that year, that Power would have seventeen Dreadnoughts and Invin- cibles as against Great Britain's twenty, supposing that the Government's full programme were car- ried out. We cannot afford to run risks," he declared, and proceeded to a clear exposition of this text. It was true we bad a mighty Fleet of earlier battleships, but, though these vessels had not bAt!n rendered obsolete by the latest type, their life had been shortened. Tnere will come a day when by an almost automatic process all ships of an earlier type than the Dreadnought will be relegated to the scrap heap. The mainten- ance of our superiority will depend on our superi- ority in Dreadnoughts alone." THE PANIC OF MR BALFOUR. Mr Balfour, in a speech of the gravest tone, brushed all lesser considerations aside to go to the heart of a matter of such vital national im- portance." The discussion, he pointed out, was concerned purely with a one-Power standard, and in a criticism of the Government's policy he em- phasised two salient facts—that we had lost our supremacy in the speed of construction, and that we did not know what Germany was actually doing. He argued that if that Power continued to build at her present rate, she would have, on Apiil 1, 1912, not seventeen, but twenty-one Dreadnoughts to our twenty. I have been forced to the conclusion," declared the Leader of the Opposition, "that now, for the first time in comparatively modern history, we are face to face with a naval situation ac new, so dangerous, that it is very difficult for us thoroughly to realise all it imports." ">: GERMANY'S UNDERTAKING. Mr Asquith clinched his reasons for disagreeing with Mr Balfour's grave conclusions by an impor- tant statement. The Government, he said, had bad a most distinct declaration that it was not Germany's intention to accelerate their pro- gramme, and a programme could not be placed before the House based on the assumption that that undertaking was not going to be observed. No less important was the Prime Minister's con- fession that he was wrong in stating that we had such a substantial advantage over Germany in the rate of building as would enable us to over- take her. In the discussion which ensued one Labour member, Mr John Ward, declared his patriotic intention of voting for the Government's programme. MR LEE WANTS TO HURRY. Mr A. Lee urged that the Government should it once order the eight Dreadnoughts fore- shadowed in the programme, completing them at She earliest possible moment. Germany's declara- tion of intention-" not a pledge," interpolated the Prime Minister—ought not to be held a factor in considering the new programme. Mr Harvey bhen announced his decision net to move his intendment diracted against the increase of the estimates. Dr Macnamara followed, protesting that Mr Lee's speech was unduly alarmist and laying stress on our "magnificent reserve" of pre- Dreadnought battleships. But he came back to the moral that strength was a security for peaoe, and that there was no middle course. THE GOVERNMENT MAJORITY. Sir John Brunner's jeremiad over the extrava- gant expenditure on armaments was followed by Mr Adkins's admission that the Government case had been proved up to the hilt. Then Mr Dillon denounced the Prime Minister for playing up to the panic-mongers," and Mr Macpherson, on behalf of the Labour party, emphatically repui- ated the sentiments expressed the previous day by Mr J. Ward, and declared war on the Estimate. "We must set our teeth and build," one of Mr Pretyman's sentences, came as an apt retort, and when Mr A. Henderson had had a final word on his party's determination to support their views in the lobby, Mr McKenna obtained the closure. The formal motion for going into Com- mittee was then carried by 322 votes to 83. STILL UNSATISFIED. In Committee of Supply on the first vote-that of personnel—the House resumed its momentous discussion on the Navy. Mr A. Chamberlain de- clared at the outset that the Government's assur- ances had not relieved the anxiety of the Opposi- tion. The assumptions of Ministers who had already acted on a wrong hypothesis were too slight a basis on which to found the security of the British Empire. The two-Power standard was gone, and a few years' neglect had jeopardised our naval supremacy. Mr Lough paraded the recent Ministerial statement as to the number of Germany's Dreadnoughts in 1912, and described Tuesday's debate as the worst-oonstructed, scooped-out turnip with a candle in it" ever set up in the House of Commons. FURTHER EXPLANATIONS. Mr McKenna, in an effort to clear up "reason- able misunderstandings," argued that the Govern- ment were right in not taking immediate action upon their information of last November, the result of the delay being that the ships laid down now would, be believed, be 30 per cent. superior to the Dreadnought—in fact, the best type of ship afloat. Furthermore, he had no doubt that within twelve months our power of construction would be greater than that possessed by Germany. In the face of these and other facts, the Admiralty were satisfied that the existing pro- gramme safeguarded the country. Mr McKenna's defence of the naval experts drew from Mr Balfour a warning observation as to the Govern- ment's position in regard to its technical advisers. and the Leader of the Opposition prooeeded to put a plain question. Had the Prime Minister any doubt that the four additional" ships would be laid down on April list, and the material collected duiing 1909; and would he abandon this policy ef doubt and hesitation ? By way of reply, Mr Asquith did not think it right to assume that the contingency was one which would necessarily and inevitably arise.
