Prices have been arranged for the purchase of bricks, cement, lime, slates, soil and waste pipes, rain pipes and rhones, sanitary work, ironmongery, etc.
At the moment the demand for slates is practically hon- existent, and all that the quarries can do is to produce slates for stock.
The council immediately inspected the roof, and it found that 24 slates had been maliciously damaged.

To-day the slates have to be delivered in a hurry, for the purpose of some local authority's housing scheme, and they are railed forthwith.
