 Town Surveyor & Water Inspectors Report Mr Chairman & Gentlemen I beg to report that Mr Dergin made an inspection on Friday last of both Resevoirs and walked the supply stream from Goshen to the well house. I pointed out to him that there was no provision made for the drainage of the labourers cottage recently built which he made a note of — J. I find it impossible to get a person to empty the pits at the back of the corporation houses. As this is a matter of pressing importance in the interest of the occupiers of the houses adjoining and in fact the health of the Town some means must be devised to have the nuisance abated at once. There are complaints about the sanitary condition of Bog Lane. Both Mr Healy and the late Mr Farrell agreed to have a gate put up at each end but for some reason the matter was let drag on. I think it would be well if there was an order made tonight to have the work carried out at once. I was informed that there were 2 lambs that died from arsenical poisoning in a store in a yard off Main Street. I immediately went to the place and found the lambs in an advanced state of decomposition. I got the owner to sprinkle them with carbolic and lime and saw them buried the following morning. I propose getting concrete footpath in Killashee Street commenced this week. Your obedient Servant Joseph Slevin 8th August 1916 Longford, Ireland A letter from Thomas W.
