LOCAL BODIES
CARLISLE RURAL SANITARY AUTHORITY.—Monday.
The monthly meeting of the above Board was held on Monday last, Mr.
John SCOTT (Kingstown) presiding; there were also present Mr. John SCOTT, of
Wetheral, Messrs. DINSDALE, GILL, SUTTON, TINNISWOOD, the Clerk (Mr.
MOUNSEY), the Medical Officer (Dr. HALL), and the Inspector of Nuisances
(Mr. CROSTHWAITE).
* Cotehill*.—With reference to the scarcity of water in connection with
some cottages at Cotehill, the Clerk said he had received a letter from Mr.
PEASCOD, the proprietor, in which he expressed his willingness to deepen the
present well and ascertain if the water was good enough, and if the analysis
was satisfactory he would have a pump put in.—The matter was therefore
allowed to stand over
* Baldwinholme*.—The Inspector reported that notice had been served upon
Mr. PATTINSON, of Baldwinholme, to abate a nuisance existing upon his
property.Mr. PATTINSON, who was present, thought it was unfair to compel him
to remove the filth from his property and to allow it to remain on his
neighbors' property. He could abate the nuisance by letting it flow on to
his own land, but he was unwilling to go to the expense unless his
neighbours abated their nuisances.-The Board were of opinion that each case
ought to be taken on its' own merits.-The Chairman informed Mr. PATTINSON
that if he would promise to abate the nuisance, he would be allowed a few
weeks to do it in.-Mr. PATTINSON was willing to pay one-fourth towards
sewering the village, but he could not promise to do more.-After some
further discussion, Mr. PATTINSON promised to see the other two proprietors,
and see if they would join with him in removing the nuisance. If they would
not, then he would remove his own.-The subject was allowed to stand over.
* Strawberry Terrace, Edentown*.—The nuisance existing at the above
place was reported as having been removed. There had also been a case of
fever at No. 5, and the Inspector reported that he had supplied the party
with disinfectants.
* Warwick Bridge*.—With regard to the want of water complained of at
Meadow Cottages, Warwick Bridge, the Inspector said he had seen Mr. CALVERT,
manager of the works, and he had informed him that there was a plentiful
supply of good water a short distance off, and that it could be carried by
gravitation to supply the cottages at a very little cost.-The Clerk was
instructed to write and inform the owner of the property of the supply
referred to.
*Scotland Road Terrace*.—The nuisance existing on premises at the above
place having been unattended to, owing to a drain being choked up, it was
resolved, on the motion of Mr. DINSDALE, that notice be served upon the
owner, Mr. H. GRAHAM, County Mews, to have the nuisance abated.
*Wetheral*.—Mr. Scott complained of the water supply of Wetheral,
which, he said, placed the village in an unsatisfactory and dangerous state,
and asked if the Authority could compel the property owners to alter the
present state of things. He said that the sewage at the present time was
emptied in the mill race, close to where the water was pumped up for the use
of the inhabitants. He thought it would be better if the sewage was carried
further down, and he had on a former occasion offered to pay the cost.-In
the discussion which took place Mr. SCOTT was informed that he could, with
the consent of the property owners, carry the sewage further down the river
without the Board interfering at all, and that the Board could only
interfere where it was a case of supplying impure water for drinking
purposes.
*Resignation of the Chairman*.—A letter was read from Mr. HORROCKS,
resigning his seat as Chairman of the Board, his reason being that he had
been appointed a member of the Garlands Visiting Committee, whose meetings
were , as a rule, held on the same day at the same hour as the Rural
Sanitary Authority's meetings.-The appointment of his successor was held
over until next meeting.
