1883
Star of Gwent. 29th November, 1883 Sir, Will you kindly inform me what the cost would be to illuminate the Town Hall clock at night, so that the general run of night workmen might contribute a mite towards the fund; in order the time may be ascertained at all times at night? I certainly think that a little of the ratepayers' money might be appropriated for this purpose. I may say that if some of our Corporation worked at all at night this would be looked into. Signed - In the Dark
Sir, I see that in all our principal towns, a medical man has been delegated to go to Berlin, to gain all the information he can respecting Doctor Koch's cure for consumption. Not having seen any movement in Newport relative to the above, I should be pleased to subscribe two guineas towards this object. I know there are many longing hearts in Newport suffering from this deadly malady, anxiously looking for someone to go and bring the healing balm to their wasting bodies. I am Sir - Yours Respectfully, T.M. Wittle [ Back ] |
