SINGLETON.
SINGLETON. Purchased by Swansea. r rilDAY" S'DEAL. I Singleton Estate, with the Abbey and its appurtenances is now virtually the property of the burgesses of Swansea, and the townspeople will rejoice to know that the property has been acquired At a reasonable figure. A deputation of members of the Svvan. ia Parliamentary Committee, and including the Mayor, Town Clerk, and the Boroug"h Estate Agent, met Lord Swansea's advisers at his Lordship's lawyers' offices in London on Friday afternoon, and the negotiations which have been proceeding for some time were brought to a, satisfactory conclu- sion. There are still some outstanding details to be arranged, and we believe I that one of the matters yet to be settled is the price to be paid in respect of the mineral rights under the 200 or so acres that lie on the east, or Swansea, side of the estate from Sketty-road. DETAILS OF THE DEAL. -1 As the sale is subject to an order or the courts, we are not, at the moment, in a position to announce the exact; price that the Corporation will pay. Our London correspondent under- stands that a special meeting of the Corporation or the Parliamentary Com- mittee is to be held during next week to settle thj arrangements. In order to carry through such a huge deal, it was necessary to have moneyed men to assist, and a number of public- spirited Swansea gentlemen, including, we understand, Mr. Roger beck, Mr. W .T. Farr, Major G. S. Harries, and others undertook to advance the pur- chase money until such time as the Corporation can negotiate a loan for the purpose. HOW ABBEY WILL BE USED. I The estate, in all, comprises about 254 aores and a considerable portion will no doubt be raised for housing schemes. It has been proposed that a matter of about, 25 acres shall bob set apart for the new Technical College, but this has yet to be definitely decided. Some sections of public opinion favour the idea that the mansion shall be the nucleus of the new college buildings, while othfers express the view that the Abbey should be utilised as a museum. One idea that has been mooted is that sites shall be set apart on the estate for new municipal buildings, or, alter- natively, that if the public buildings are to be at Victoria Park, a new public playground must be provided" at Single- ton. Mr. Heath Comraittfce have designs 6n a strip adjoining )1 ulllbleBroacl fot toad widen- I These are matters which will no I dwubt occasion lively debate at the Council meetings. While all are agreed with the desirability of acquiring Single- ton?, opinions are divided as to the manner of its utilisation. A photograph of Singleton Abbey appeared in our editions yesterday.

We are working on the premises." 4he landlord, a moment later, came on the scene, and admitted serving the men with the beer,, but at the jmnfe time he declared that they had not paid for it. Mr. C. fl.

l? z I IDLE WORKS. I I c Unemployment in the Skewen District. I The Cape Copper Works has now bn idle for some five weeks, and very few besides the clerical staff and other officials now remain. There does not seem any immediate p,ros.o: of a restart, the ¡ freightage being too high to bring ore from the Company's mines in South Africa. As things are at present, the j work of smelting and refining would have to go on at a loss if the ore was brought over. It had been thought that the end of August would see a re-start, but the j prospect are remote, what with the ad- ditional complication of the rioo in the i price of coal. The majority of the work- men reside at Skemen, a good proportion at Britonferry, and a few at Jersey Marine and St. Thomas. A number of the men have been taken at the Chemical Works which adjoins, others a? the new Oi?

It was thei* business and auty to do so; oiling to the bad—he was Ir, ng to say vicious—and morbid taste of the British public.

EXCESSIVE PRICES. While the Food Controler is anxious to j do away with all irksome restrictions, he is determined to put an end to excessive j charges. An official of the Food Ministry told a ( Press representative that it would, if ne- cessary, be comparatively easy to extend I the list of rationed articles, all the mach- ir-erv being in existence for that purpose. j So far as can be ascertained, there does not seem to be any occasion for anxiety about supplies during the coming winter. There are considerable stocks abroad which have not been touched, and I th.) American and Canadian harvests pro:" mise to be more than satisfactory. Mr., Roberts has been negotiating for sufficient | tonnage to bring in all the goods that will be needed, and, as far as can be seen, his chief, anxiety will be concerned with! prices. When we have enough tonnage to ) lift all the cheaper stocks available in I Australia and New Zealand the compcti-j iton set up should help to brplik the j American market and defeat the opera- l tiona of the various trusts.
