IMPORTANT TO PEMBROKE DOCK. BIG BUILDING PROGRAMME PREDICTED. A Sunday contemporary, which is a strong Unionist paper, and is generally well informed on matters pertaining to the Servceis, publishes an important, not to say sensational, article from a source which it declares to have always proven correctly inspired, which is a virtual defence of the present Board of Admiralty, and an assurance, not only that in no respect has the point been overlooked that Britain must re- main all-powerful on the sea, but also that the era of apparent "economies" is past. Our Dreadnoughts, built and building, the article points out, gives us a long start against any other Power, inasmuch as we shall have ten such warships before any other Power has a single such vessel finished, and in case of need we can build more in a space of time about eighteen months shorter than that in which other countries are equipped to com- plete such leviathan.; of war. "That. SÇlJlS th", writer in the "Observer," "is wily there is no occasion to rush. But by 1911 the German Dreadnoughts will be multi- plying, and the silent struggle for sea power in time of peace will be felt in full strategical and financial force. "Next year, therefore, will be critical. The Admiralty must lay down at least, four or five new Dreadnoughts. We may have to lay down an even larger number. To begin our new Dreadnoughts earlier would be foolish. Our obvious business is to wait until foreign powers are committed beyond recall to a given type of ship. Then we must beat that type. We must evolve a ship as superior, if possible, to the Dreadnought as she was to her pre- decessors. By completing her with unparal- leled rapidity we learned valuable lessons be- fore we went further. The Germans will be building by next year eight Dreadnoughts before having actually tested one of them. Before that testing takes place it is certain that we shall make a later start upon greater types, which may quite possibly throw the German Admiralty out of its reckoning for another eighteen months, just as the Dreadnought did." The article further points out that the state- ment that a. Department of Strategy does not exist, and is urgently required, are nothing short of absurd. The organisation clamoured for is now actually in existence. The estab- lishment of the Naval War College at Ports- mouth, it points out, is, indeed, one of the very greatest of the reforms introduced during the last three years. In respect to the policy of the Opposition in respect to the Navy, it is pointed out tnat Mr. Balfour, as a party leader, could wish nothing beter than to exploit a naval scare. If he has made not the slightest move in that direction, it is because facts do not justify it. We have the best reason to believe that if Mr. Balfour and Lord Cawdor get from the Government the positive assurances they will certainly require, they will continue as they have hitherto done to keep the interests of the fleet above the clash of the party. Referring to the alleged certainty of an in- quiry, the article definitely states: There will be no inquiry. There can be none. If we were instituted, it is notorious that ihe strongest Board of Admirarlty we have eyer had would instantly resign in a body to infinite joy of the German nation." The .concluding lines of the article are couched in hmguagc that would seem to indi- cate that its author belongs to the Board of Admiralty itself, or is attached to it in some high capacity. It is a hint to Lord Charlei- Beresford, set in terms that might be almost interpreted as miniatory:—"As for Lord Cnas. Beresford. it says, "whose name, unfortun- ately, is always in the mouth of the panic- mongers, his partisans have set an evil exam- ple of personalities. None of us will wish to imitate it by breathing one syllable of wound- ing criticism. But the issue is exceedingly simple, and it is improper to refrain from stating it in plain terms. In any officer in high, but subordinate, position finds himself 'I in disagreement with the policy for which his chiefs are responsible, he must either acquiesce in the ordinary course of discipline -or attest the seriousness of the issue by resigning his command. No third course ever can be toler- ated." The Admiralty has placed with Messrs. Beardmore and Co., of Glasgow, an order for 2,500 tons of armour plates for three battleships that are building in two Royal yards and at Barrow. The contract is valued at a quarter of a million sterling.

THE PEMBROKE BOROUGHS. TARIFF KEFOKM CAMPAIGN. 4 The advocates of Tariff Reform are not al- lowing the grass to grow under their feet in the Pembroke boroughs. They are promoting another series of public meetings in the con- stituency. the first of which will be held in the Temperance Hall, Pembroke Dock, on Monday evening, the 17th February next. For this meeting the services of the popular Tariff Re- form speaker, Mr. H. Gould, have been se- cured. Mr. Gould will also address meetings in other parts of the borough, as follows:— Tuesday, Feb. 18th, at Fishguard; Wednesday, Feb. 19th, at Narberth; Thursday, Feb. 20th, at Pembroke; Friday, Feb. 21st, at Neyland. General Sir Reginald Pole-Carew, the pros- pective Unionist candidate for the Pembroke boroughs, will be present and will speak at these four meetings. The General will also speak at Milford on the 22nd February, but will at that meeting be unaccompanied by Mr. Gould. It is as yet uncertain whether the gallant General will be able to get down in time for the Pembroke Dock meeting, at which the popular Pembrokeshire barrister, Mr. Mar- lay Samson, will preside.

PEMBROKE DOCK MECHANICS INSTITUTE. The fifty-seventh annual meeting of the Pembroke Dock Mechanics' Institute was held on Thursday evening, when A. McColl (presi dent) presided over a good attendance of mem- bers, including Messrs. J. Lawrence, C. W. Lawrence, G. Mason, II. Ilinchliffe, W. Evans, A Macintosh, W. Robinson, G. H. West, W. Smith, T. H. Edwards, H. J. Masson, J. Mc- Keon, T. E. Lloyd, J. Thompson (secretary), J. Llewellyn (!ibrarian), etc. The Chairman remarked that once more they were met there again, and he could not but think how the years rolled by. He thought that the older they got the quicker the years seemed to go. He thought that as the years passed they could continue to congratulate themselves upon the success of that institute. (Hear, hear.) It was one of the best that, he thought, they would lind anywhere. He was glad every time he came to the institute to see so many young people there. Often when he jntered the reading room he saw eight or ten young people round the tables, and it was very gratifying to see that. The young men went into the billiard room, too. He did not go there so often as he did a couple of years ago. and now he only knew a couple or three of the young men who played there. Some people objected to billiards, but he (the presi- dent) considered there was no harm in the game at all. When they had the billiard table first lie used to know every player that came into the room. Now he hardly knew anyone, for the old members had ceased playing, or had left the town, and had been succeeded by the young members. He had a report of the insti- tute in his hand forty and-a-half years old, and it was gratifying to know that they had done so well since then. He must say that there were very few who were then connected with the institute left. He believed that out of the committee then he was the only one now present, though he believed there were two others alive. At that time, of course, they were in debt, and they were working continu- ally to clear off the debt then. The number of members a.t that time was 359, and the income and expenditure were very much the same then as now, except that they had penny read- ings. lectures, etc., to raise money to clear off the debt. An analysis of the members then also showed that they had members from all sorts of trades and professions. At the present time their membership stood at 469, just over 100 more than it did then; so that they could see that the institute was not only living but thriving—(hear, hear)—which was a great thing in a place of this sort, when they recollectcd that now there were other institu- tions in the town. THE ANNUAL REPORT. The annual report was then submitted as fdlows :In presenting their 57th annual re- port your committee are pleased to report a slight increase in the membership, viz., 29; not- withstanding 20 members having been struck off the books, with a loss to the funds of Z9, compared with 1904, the decrease of member- ship is 62. Your committee trust that the members generally will endeavour to induce their friends and acquaintances to become members as well. The actual income for the year was zP,131 10s. 3d.. against P,136 5s. 3d. This may be accounted for owing to the increase of arrears of subscriptions. The expenditure was £ 186 13s. Old., against P,122 5s. ld. last year. 2 Your committee would earnestly request mem- bers to prevent the ever-increasing difficulty of arrears by paying their subscriptions promptly at 1he commencement of the month, quarter or year in which they become due. It has again been necessary to send out a large nunf- ber of circulars reminding members that they are in arrears with their subscriptions—a waste- ful expenditure of time and money that should be wholly unnecessary. During the year 27 books have been renewed, and 125 new books, including periodicals, added to the library. The recreation room continues to be a source of enjoyment to the members, and under the able management of Mr/ Langford, Mr. P. Morgan, and the Room Committee, £18 4s. 8d. has been added to the funds as proceeds from the room, after paying current expenses. The Pembroke Dock Society for the Relief of Distress. and the British and Foreign Bible Society, have been allowed the use of the com- mittee room free of charge, as in previous years. Your committee are indebted to the following for gifts of books, etc., and desire to place on record their appreciation of such, viz., Mr. O. Philipps, M.P., 'Navy Estimates'; Messrs. Mather and Grow-ther, P ractical Ad- vertising Mr. Craddock. 'The Shop Assistant,' 'The Agricultural Economist,' by the publisher; The Railway Clerk,' by the Railway Clerks' Association. Gifts of books, newspapers, or periodicals for the library or reading room will at any time be thankfully received." The balance-sheet showed that there was a balance of £ 119 16s. 9d. in the bank and £38 in the treasurer's hands. Members' subscriptions during the year had amounted to E101 16s. 6d., and the heaviest item in the expenditure was £ 66 lis 6d. for repairs and painting. The billiard receipts had amounted to £ 61 16s. 8d. against zP,62 18s. 7a. in the previous years. The Chairman next drew attention to the fact that some expensive books from the refer- ence library had recently been spoiled by hav- ing poitfons torn out of them. It seemed probable, judging from what had been taken, that these portions had been torn out by young men for their use in working up for examina- tions. It was a great pity that such things should occur, and during the whole term he had been connected with the institute he did not recollect any instance" of books being so badly mutilated as these had been. It was to be hoped that this would not, occur again, but if any of the culprits were detected they would be severely dealt with. The auditors, Messrs. G. Gullon, E. E. Thomas, J. P. Rowe, and S. W. Eardley were then re-elected, and upon the proposition of the chairman seconded by Mr. Mason they were accorded a hearty vote 01 thanks for their services. A vote of thanks to the committee was also carried unanimously.. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Mr. A. McColl (president,), and Messrs. G. Mason a.nd H. Hinehliffe (vice-presidents) were animously re-elected, upon the .proposition of Mr. T. E. Lloyd. The election of committee then followed. Twenty-seven gentlemen had been nominated for the twenty Vacancies. The voting resulted as follows:— J. Lawrence, 28; J. McKeon, 27; W. Evans, 26; H. J. Masson, 25; A. Macintosh, 25; G. H. West, 23; T. E. Lloyd, 23; C. J. Jones, 22; W. Robinson, 22; W- J. Davies, 21; II. Trevena, 21; J. Cole, 20; P. Morgan, 20: S. Owen, 20; W. G. Brown, 19; T. II. Edwards, 19"; W. II. Bowling, 17; O. Hire, 17; W. Morgan, 17; W. T. Morris, 17. Not elected: Messrs. J. Dunn, J..Jones, W. Herbert, G. W. Masters, Owen, J. Phillips, and F. W. Tucker. Mr. G. Mason moved a vote of thanks to the secretary (Mr. J. Thompson), the librarian (Mr. J. Llewellyn), and the billiard marker (Mr. Langford), and spoke very highly of the con- scientious and able manner in which these officials all carried out their duties. This was carried amid applause, Mr. Thomp- son and Mr. Llewellyn briefly responding. The former in his remarks said that he was always backed up by the committee in what lie did. He proceeded te speak strongly with reference t,) the damage to the books, and said that he hoped the members would remember that the books were their own and treat them as such. The meeting was then thrown open for sug- gesiions, and various members expressed their views on what books and magazines could be taken or dispensed with. The question of keep- ing "he reference library locked up was also discussed at some length. At he conclusion -of the meeting Mr. J. Lawrence sold the various newspapers and magazines by auction, and was accorded a vote of thanks for his services.

PEMBROKE DOCK COUNCIL COMMITTEES. The Bash Hill Scheme Again. A meeting of the Pater Ward Committee of the Town Council was held on Monday after- noon, when there were present Aldermen W. Smith, W. Jones, J. Hutehings, and Wr. Phil- lips, Councillors A. McColl, B. Hancock, W. Evans, T. Davies, J. Grieve, C. Young, W. Robinson, and J. Morgan, with ine Deputy- Town Clerk (Mr. N. D. Lowless), the surveyor (Mr. K. McAlpine), and the inspector (Mr. P. Morgan). THE BEACON. letter was read from the Admiralty making inquiries as to what had been done with regard to the erection of the Beacon, etc. The Sanitary Committee considered this mat- ter, and the chairman (Mr. Young) said that at present the work was at a standstill, and they would have to move soon. Mr. Jones, the contractor, had gone to the spot the previous day, and had not proceeded with it owing to the soft nature of the soil and the distance from the rock. The Surveyor said that the rock was eight feet lower than shown on the plans. The spring tide was now going by, and nothing could be done until another spring tide. Mr. Jones thought that perhaps the committee might revise the plans for the foundation. Mr. Young said that the contractor consider- ed it would cost another L100 to go down to the rock. >. Mr. Davies: Does Mr. Jones wish to break his contract? The Chairman: I am sure I can't say. In reply to Mr. Evans the Chairman said that the contractor's estimate was based upon information given by the Dockyard authorities. Mr. Evans said that if this information was not correct it affected the tender. The Chairman said that the specification stated that the foundations for the beacon should rest on the rock. It was decided to confer with the Dockyard authorities on the matter. NUISANCES. A letter was read from a number of residents in Pembroke Street calling attention to the smell arising from the manhole cover in that street, and suggesting that a closed cover should be substituted for the present open one. On the proposition of Alderman Phillips it was decided to put a closed cover over the manhole, and erect another ventilation shaft near the Market. A letter was also read from the military authorities requesting that covered carts should be used to collect the refuse at the barracks. It was pointed out that the old contracts would terminate at the end of March. At pre- sent open carts were used, and papers, etc., blew off and littered the roads. Alderman Phillips proposed that the next time they ask for tenders they stipulate that covered carts would be required. This was seconded by Mr. T. Davies. Mr. McColl proposed that the committee provide a proper sanitary cart, and this was seconded. Alderman Phillips said that this would cost nearly 830. Alderman Hutchings said that he did not believe in providing a cart for other people to use and knock about. On the matter being put to the vote, Alder- man Phillips' proposition was carried by seven votes to five. THE LOWER LEVEL SCHEME. In reply to Mr. Grieve the Chairman said that the surveyor had not yet got out the plans for the lower level scheme. He suggested that a special meeting of the Sanitary Com- mittee should be held to consider this matter as soon as the plans were ready. This was carried. A BREEZE. Mr. Grieve presided over the Market Com- mittee, and the only business was a suggestion by Mr. Phillips that the strengthening of the roof of the Market should be considered in next year's estimate, and that the inside of the Market should be whitewashed. Some discussion took place, Mr. Robinson raising the point that no member of the Coun- cil had inspected the articles, nor had the I bill been passed by the officials. The Chairman (warmly): I may say this once and for all, that I shall not submit to any duplicate chairman. If my services are not considered good enough for the office, I will certainly let someone else take it at once. Mr. McColl said that he understood that some of the blocks at the slaughterhouse might have been repaired, as duplicates could be obtained for each portion. This would perhaps have saved buying new blocks. It was- decided to pay the bill. A DARK SPOT. The Chairman of the Lighting Committee CUr. Davies) said that he had visited the lane leading from North Street to High Street, and found that there was a distance of 150 yards between the lamps at the spot which was complained of at the last meeting. He sug- gested that a new lamp should be placed- there. Alderman Phillips said that if they placed a lamp at this place, there were other places in ¡ Pennar which would have to be similarly treated. Alderman Jones said that there was a bend in the hedge which kept people from seeing the lamp. Mr. Young thought that they should let tilings remain as they were; but Alderman Smith said that it was a very dark place and a lamp was necessary. The average distance between lamps in the town was about 30 yards. Mr. Hancock said that he had been told that the lane was used for immoral purposes. Mr. Evans moved that a lamp be placed at this spot. This wa% seconded by Alderman Smith, but on being put to the meeting was lost, it being decided to allow the matter to stand over for a month. A bill for £ 521 for street lighting was brought before the meeting, but was adjourned to be checked. HIGHWAY MATTERS. The Chairman was authorised to purchase another cargo of green granite stones, at a cost of £ 70. Tne cargo will consist of 200 tons. — letter was read from the residents of Albany Street asking to have that road and storm-water drainage put down. They offered to pay apportionments of the cost. It was pointed out that four of the residents had not signed. The Surveyor was instructed to proceed with the work, the committee being of opinion that the other residents would -come into agreement. BUSH HILL. The question of Bush F 11 again came up. and the Csairman asked steps the com- mittee proposed to take the resolution passed by the Council. He lerstood that the Pembroke Ward were now prepared to pay three-tenths of the cost, and he also heard that Sir Thomas Meyrick was agreeable to contribute another iP,30 to the scheme, and to allow the wall to be one foot lower than was originally proposed. Alderman Smith, as one who had opposed the scheme, was sorry that they had not more defienite information before them. He thought that would be a very good basis to reconsider the matter. He had always thought that the scheme would be a great improvement, but he had contended that the apportionment was un- just to this ward. What he had heard that afternoon altered the whole colour of the thing 'as far as he was concerned. He still thought that the time was not opportune for spending money, but remembering 'the remarks of the county surveyor on the road, and that .the offer might not remain open indefinitely, his offer under the circumstances would drop. 1.t-r. Grieve suggested that the matter should be adjourned for a week in order that some definite information might be put before the, meeting. Alderman Hutchings asked that the minutes of the committee meeting at which this matter was first discussed should be read. He wished the public to know that he was authorised with other gentlemen to go as a deputation to Sir Thomas Meyrick. Alderman Smith said that he had never suggested that Alderman Hutchings had not been authorised to go to Sir Thomas Meyrick. He had called attention to the fact hat two members went to the Pembroke Commitee. The minutes were read, and the matter was then adjourned to a special meeting to be held on Thursday. THE WATERWORKS. Mr. McColl said that the cost of coal at the Milton Waterworks during the past month had been P,6 17s. 8d.as against L-4 13s. 6d. in the corresponding month last- year. This was due tc)- the increased cost of coal. Alderman Phillips: It is tumbling down now. Anthracite is coming down LloJl. Mr. McColl said that he was glad to hear it. They were even now economising on what they used to do. THE NEED OF A MORTUARY. Alderman Smhh raised The question as t( the necessity of a mortuary in the town of Pembroke Dock, and said that he thought some steps should be taken to see if there v. as no- some suitable building which could be used for the purpose. He thought that the Estates Com- mittee could consider the matter and bring up a report. The Surveyor said that the mortuary at the old cemetery would be a suitable place, and doubtless they could obtain permission to UJC it for such a purpose. Alderman Phillips: Mr. Hutchings suggests we should use the engine-house at Llannion Terrace. It was decided to leave the matter in the hands of the surveyor and the chairman of the Estates Committee (Alderman Jones).

NEYLAND URBAN COUNCIL. A meeting of the Neyland Urban District Council was held on Monday evening when there were present Mr. W. Evans (chairman). Mesrs. H. Isgrove, G. E. Carrow, J. Glass, J. Hier, O. Garrett, G. Roch. F. W. P. Hitchings. with the clerk (Mr. J. Griffiths), and the sur- veyor (Mr. T. W. Evans). THE SIGNALS. The Clerk to the Main Roads Committee sent the following reply to the letter sent by the Council re the 'danger signals, etc. :Your letter of the 6th inst. was brought before the Main Roads Committee at their quarterly meet- ing held yesterday, and I was instructed to reply to it, and point out that the County Council have nothing whatever to do with the district roads and they are in no wise respon- sible for the cost of any signs which the Dis- trict Council may have thought fit to erect. The County Council are responsible only for the main roads." The Chairman: That ends that Mr. Skone. BEACH ROAD. The Clerk reported that three members cf the Council met Dr. Griffith and Mr. Thomas the County Surveyor, re Beach Road. Mr. Carrow said that they went very thoroughly into the matter. Dr. Griffith made no promise, but he thought that, the matter was put before him in such a way that Neyland Council's request seemed reasonable to him. He confidently hoped that the County Council would take the matter up. They also drew Dr. Griffith's attention to the condition of the ar Department wall, and he hoped that the County Council would take this matter up also, and bring pressure to bear upon the War Depart- ment. The Chairman: Well, gentlemen, all we have to do is meekly wait and hope for the best. THE GAS ARBITRATION. The Clerk reported that he had written the following letter to the Pembroke Dock Gas Company:—Sir,—I am directed by the Neylai.o Urban District Council to respectfully ask that your Company will allow my Council to make connection for the supply of two or three ap- plicants for gas services. My Council will un- dertake all the expenses and do the work in accordance with your orders. There are two or three urgent cases, and I trust you will give me an early reply—Yours faithfully, John Griffiths. He had received the following reply:-Dear Sir,—In reply to your letter of the 10th inst. having regard to your Council's request to sup- ply connections and services to affluents for a supply of gas in Neyland, I am to inform you that the company must decline to accede to such a request, for I would remind you that the purchase money, etc., has not yet been paid to this Company for the acquisition of this Company's undertaking in the Neyland district. Until this is done my Company object to your Council doing any work whatsoever to the Com- pany's -iiiains, plants, etc.—Yours faithfully, A. C. Carne Ross. The Chairman said that this was another matter in which there was nothing to do but wait. Mr. Carrow said that the taxed bills in con- nection with the arbitration had been forward- ed to the Local Government Board. They had done all they could, and now they had simply got to wait until they heard further from the Local Government Board. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that the Contractor had commenced building the wall at Trafalgar Terrace, and he required £6 for wages in con- nection with the said work. Mr. Warlow had promised to deliver all the metal for St. Clements Road during the coming spring tides, and after that he would be having the steam roller at work on the highways. The Works Committee recommended that the requisitions of the Surveyor be granted. On the proposition of Mr. Gwilliam seconded by Mr. Isgrove, the report was adopted. SANITARY MATTERS. The Sanitary Inspector reported that one case of infectious disease had been notified since the last meeting of the Council. He had inspected several premises in Honeyborough, and also in Cambrian-road, and Frederick-sreet, and where he found any structural defects or nuisances occurring, he had served the usual preliminary notices. Some had already been complied. The pump at Cambrian-road had broken down during the month, and it was necessary that certain repairs should' be done to the roads. He recommended that half-a dozen pump leathers for each of the pumps should be purchased, as it had been the custom to keep a quantity in stock. The Sanitary Committeee recommended that the leathers be purchased as the Inspector suggested. On the proposition of Mr. Skone the report was adopted. ABSENT MEMBERS. Mr. Glass drew attention to the fact that certain members of the Council had not at- tended the last eight meetings of the Council, and said that he would like to know their position. The Chairman: If you are asking my personal opinion, Mr. Glass, I will tell you my opinion is that the vacancies should be filled in April. net because the gentleman to whom I refer has absented himself, but because he has removed permanently. Mr. Hitchings said that there was no legal vacancy yet. -r. Garrett said that the member in question had been absent through sickness. Mr. Voyle said that they were not going to have an election to fill a single vacancy. Be- sides, these gentlemen might turn up at the meetings between now and April. They might attend the next meeting. Mr. Glass said that he considered a member disqualified who did not attend for eight months. Mr. Voyle: The man was living here. Mr. Glass said that he would not have atten- ded the meetings if he had not been sick, but Mr. Voyle retorted that he could have had a day's leave. Mr. Hitchings said that they had certain rules which they must abide by. He believed that sickness did not disqualify a person. A member could not resign at present, as the C-.m-icii had not fixed the amount of the fine. Mr. Voyle said that he considered it very ungentlemanly for a member to wish to have another member who had been sick disquali- fied- After some further discussion the Clerk read the section of the Act dealing with such cases, and the matter dropped.

J u-v,-Y'S VERDICT FOR THE PRESS. In the King's Bench on Monday Mr. Horatio C. Furnace, manure merchant, Liverpool, sued I the "Cambridge Daily News'' for damages for alleged libel. Plaintiff in May, 1905. sold to a farmer of Suffolk, a quantity of artificial manure guaranteed to contain 1 per cent. of ammonia. The manure turned our to contain one-third of this quantity, and Mr. Furnace, who brought the stuff from a wholesale mer- chant, who guaranteed the ingredients, was fined £ 20. The defendant paper published a report of the proceedings at the local police court, and headed it "A manure fraud—mer- chant prosecuted for sending out an invoice knowing it to be false." Counsel said this was quite untrue. Defendants denied the libel and said that the report was an accurate represen- tation of what took place in the police court. It appeared the reporter copied a charge-sheet made out by a constable, but plaintiff was not charged with the offence "knowing it to be false," because the material was not made by him, but by the manufacturer from whom he "bought, it. though the Act provided that the merchant must be fined. The case had been tried twice before, and in each case the Court of Appeal ordered a new trial. The jury found a verdict for defendants. Judgment with costs, and stay of execution was granted. ———■——^— i

FISHGUARD AND THE MAiL.
