Sh then knew that it had been shot during the n1ght nd she howed the Sergeant an air hole 1n the door through which h beli ved the shot had - been tired.. A man nam d Joseph Breen (father of the t 0 youths who helped Miss Pool ith the bullock) ho liv s convenient to Mis Pool- inform d · Serge nt that the Bullock had been going around the fi Id apparently un ell for about six weeks. lIi s Poole has on sever 1 occasions st ted that Bul locks her property have been maliciously shot, their necks broken, thro t cut, ston d to death, d so on, but ne er has y examination by aV.S. or other person r vealed oth r th..m natural c us.

In addition, the aot 1 colleotion should - proceed with all due diligenc from the time Collector t es up his w rrant. It has been noted in the past that c r in Col lectors ade very mall lodgments in the arlY stages of th Collec tion nd the Finance Committee consider it s ntlal that e c Collector should make a special effort i n July and August to collect as large an amount of the first moi ty and arrears as possible. Serious notioe ill be t n in © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES I( th case of Collectors ho e coll ctions ar backwar d on 31st July and 31st August. The Finance Committee are nxious that a speci~l effort should be made by the Collectors in the early stag of the pre ent col ection to colleot out tanding ount ln any e se in whioh one half year's r te mined outstanding t t e olose of the 1935/36 rrant. If the outstanding half year's rate ls colleoted early ln July Colleotors should be able to oolleot year' s rate in addition before t e olos of the ourrent warr t, and thus bring the oolleo tion for 1936/37 up to date in suoh 0 se. Thi ls a most important matter hlch should rec ive immediate attention fro Colleotor. It was noted last ye r t t many Colleotors did not tak legal steps to reoover the first moiety ln due time. The Finanoe Commltte xpeot the flrst molety to be olosed by the 31st Ootober next. Collector should tak aotive lesal steps on 30Ul September to reoover out tanding items of first mOiety, so that on th 31st October 11 reooverable lte s .111 be lodged. Collectors w111 be called upon on I t e 31st Ootober to g1ve a s ti f ctory xplanat10n ln res pect of each item of first moiety outstandlng on that date.

During the 1935/36 Collection the issue of recei pts to ratepay rs aking part p yments wa unduly d lay d in a numb r of distriots. This is most unsatisfactory. The part payment scheme, hieh 1 ppllo bl to exford County , is sanotioned only on the strict understanding that reoeipts will be issued to r t p yer ithout del y.

In seven districts the amount in Column 18 referred to represents less than 10 per cent of the tot 1 arrant, and the Minister considers thpt the inclusion of portions ot toe mounts in sep rate warr nts i neither necessary nor desirable.

Ttle collectors in County Wexford have had in recent s the benefit of concession (gr nted s tempor ry e aure only in toot er counties) of being llowed to ccept p rt-payment of rates.

HAULAGE WORK ETC. KILLINICK-CARNE ROAD Under date 22nd July 1936 Mr. Nicholas B.

Th folIo ing attended as the deput tion T cum e Fi na Fail Cumann:- Messrs. N. B. Doyle (Hon. Secret ry) illiam Pierce and James Browne. Mr . Doyle acted as spokesman and said their contention I was that as loc 1 lorries were vailable the Railway trac tors should not have been employed. Also that the road material should not be tarcoated by a Mixer in the quarry but tre te ith tar on the ro d as as done on the section from exford to Rosslare Harbour whi ch had been recondition ed. Tee were four local lorries available but he could © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES not s y if the owners ould be able to pl ce these vehicles for an entire defined period at t e ervice of the Council. T 0 of the lorry own rs, Messrs. Pierce and Parle t ould be able to give the lorries It hole-time" . If these t 0 lor- riee ere employed the County Surveyor c uld al y count on them. The County Surveyor, in reply to Keegan, said the draft in this ca e was six or seven miles hich knocked out horse haula.ge. • Kee considered it unfair that the Rail ay Com- pany should be mployed for haulage ork over local labour. The Comp ny ere doing not ing only bleeding the public by their high fare and freights. The looal man who purcha~ed lorry put s money into it to try and make a living and he should be encouraged and not discouraged by the Council. Th oney paid the Rail ay Company was sent out of the Coun ty but when local p opl were mployed the money as spent in exford. he County Surveyor said that if it were hauling ordinary road material a case could be made for the Use of local lorry owners and tb ir 01 ims ould receive favourabl e consider tion trom the Surv y staff but in thi case the stuff was fe to th traotor gon readY mixed in the quarry and thus secured oertain stiffness in transit which made it most suitabl for spr ading. The tractor wagon could be tipped up on to the road t us securing an amount of spreading. To employ local lorries for haulage would mean n extra £3 per week for bour in this instance. r. Birthi tle, A sistant Surveyor for th dis trict, said t e local lorry owner were sati f ctory and he would like to employ them, but there as only a small amount allowed for t e ork and in consequence they had to see it was oarried out ith as muc economy a as possible with © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES efficiency. He (Mr. Birthistle) bad been let down before by lorry owners taking up other Jobs and le ving road ork en at, standstill. He as on other Job supposed to have t e ervice of four lorrie but in reality had two only. ~ r. Keegan said the Finance Committee recognised that Mr . Birthistle gave all possible work to the local people and to local lorry 0 ers. In this c se it as 1 0 nised that t e local lorries ere not adapted for the pecul iar class of ork which was bing carried out. He proposed t t for the coming six months the Survey Staff give all the ork poss1ble to the local' peopl and local lorries. · Kelly seconded the mot10n which s adopted. • Birthistle said that there were two other Jobs to be c rried out in the district which though not as 1mportant as t e ork under discussion would give great deal of e ployment and local lorri s could b employed for them. · Doyle (of t e deputation) thought toe haulag of the 10 er section from t e Cross of Lough to Carne Harbour could b carried out by loc 1 lorries. • B1rt istle said t is could only b done cost for hic money had not been allocated. • Doyle thanked the meeting for the attention w1th wh1ch t e views of the deputation had been considered.

SHEEP DIPPING ORDER: Under date 5th August, 1936, the Department of Agriculture wrote (E.61ll-35) reterring to the existing Sheep Dipping and market periods, and pointed out it had been suggested to the Minister it would be desirable © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES ------ to modify the existing regulations by replacing the two prescribed dipping periods by one double-dipping period extending from 1st July to 15th November in each year, and substituting for the present "market periods" one period extending from 1st August to 15th November. It was con sidered that this suggested change might generally operate to the greater convenience of the different classes of sheep owners and lead to a more extensive and willing com pliance with the legal requirements in regard to dipping. It was proposed to include in the new Order provisions empowering Local Authorities to take special measures when considered necessary as regards the dipping of sheep in particular areas in their districts. Mr. Meyler proposed and Col. Quin seconded the following resolution which was passed nem. con.:- "That in the opinion of this Council it is undesirable to make any change in the present regulations governing the dipping and marketing of sheep." The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. Michael Redmond seconded by Mr. Kelly:- "That the Minutes of Finance Committee Meeting of 31st July 1936, be and the same are hereby confirmed and approved." PAYMENT OF RATE COLLECTORS The following motion of which he had given previous notice was moved by Mr. McCarthy:- "That the present system of remunerating Rate Collec tors be altered and that a Scheme be formulated whereby a sum as annual salary payable in monthly instalments be fixed, said sum to be in addltion to a maximum poundage payable in the event of a full collection within the dates © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES laid down, the combined total salary and poundage to be based on average earnings of the past three years. 1I In moving his motion, Mr. McCarthy said that Collectors had a grievance in the matter of remuneration a8 they re ceived only two payments in the year and as long as nine months intervened between one payment and another. This fact did not tend to improve the Collection particularly in cases in which Collectors had no other source of income. It was very trying on Collectors to wait such long periods for payment and was to an extent putting a premium on dishonesty. The Minister for Local Government and Public Health writing to Killarney Urban Council had said that the system which he would favour would be to fix a sum as annual salary payable in monthly instalments, an additional fixed sum to be regard ed as the maximum poundage payable in the event of a full collection within the various dates prescribed by the Public Bodies Orders. Where the collection fell short of the maximum the latter sum would be correspondingly reduced and the inducement to efficient collection would thus be pres erved. Col. Gibbon, in seconding, said that the Local Govern ment Department should let the Council have a copy of the . Scheme in accordance with the suggestions of Mr. McCa.rtby, and which would meet with their wishes. Mr. McCarthy said he was in favour of 60% of the remuneration being paid by way of salary and the balance as poundage fees, the actual amount to be determined by the manner in which the warrant had been closed. The Chairman, who strongly supported the proposal, said that it would be advisable for the Finance Committee to con sider the proposal and go into the matter with the Rate Collectors. The payment of remuneration as arranged at present was unsatisfactory and unfair. But the Council had © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES really no facts and figures before that day's meeting. It would be well that the scheme should be considered in detail and the views of the Rate Collectors could be put forward through a small deputation. He moved a resolution to this effect which was seconded by Mr. Corish. This was passed, Mr. McCarthy agreeing that action n his motion be deferred for the present. ROAD IMPROVEMENT The following motion,of which he had given previous notice, was moved by Mr. Kelly:- "That about six miles of r Cld from Tomnafinchogue turn to Gorey Main Road at CastleEllis through Ballagh be recon structed at a cost of £6,000 half to be provided by State Grant and the second moiety to be borrowed by the County Council. " He understood that the motion would have to be consid ered at annual meeting at which Road Works Scheme would be dealt with, and he proposed that the motion be referred to that meeting~ Mr. Corish seconded and the motion was passed. The Chairman said that in his opinion the main road from Castle Ellis Cross to Blackwater was in a worse condit ion than the portion referred to in Mr. Kelly's motion. The County Surveyor said that if one considered endings and twists and turns the Chairman's statement was correct, but the surface was not so bad as the road from Tomnafin chogue referred to in Mr. Kelly's motion. Both roads needed improvement. The Chairman said that at the Annual Roads Meeting something should be done to provide money for the improve ment of the road to which he had referred. © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES THE POSITION OF COUNTY MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH Under date 7th August, 1936, the following letter (P.H.151906/36 - Looh Garman Ae) was read from the Depart ment of Looal Government and Publio Health:- "With referenoe to previous oorrespondenoe relative to the grant by the Wexford County Counoil on the 30th June last of two months' leave of absenoe to Dr. C.

The Counoil wish to point out that Dr. Bast1ble did not give any prior notioe that he intended to resume duty before the expiration of the period for whioh Dr. O'Sullivan oertified that leave was neoessary.

That the Department be asked for a reply to this reso lution as soon as possible as the leave of County Medical Officer of Health will expire on 27th August, 1936."

SECONDARY AND VOCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME 1931 Under date 8th July, 1936, (Trg.2/45474) the following waS read from the Department of National Education:- HWith reference to your letter of the 16th ultimo, in which you referred to the proposal that marks for one option al subject only should be counted in respect of the exam1na tion for the award of Scholarships, I am directed to state that the Department has given careful cons1deration to the question and regrets that it is not in a position to modify the arrangements introduced for 1936.

If the Council wish to make special provision for the pupils of the smaller schools, it is open to them to submit proposals for the insertion in " their scheme of a clause reserving an equitable number of , scholarships for such schools; the Department has always been favourable to a proposal of this kind and is, if desired, willing to assist the Council in the formulation of a suitable clause." The following resolution was adopted on the motion ot Mr. Corish seconded by Miss O'Ryan:- "That the Department of Education be requested in accordance with the terms of their letter of 8th July 1936 (Trg.2/45474) to submit draft clause to this County Council and which would have the effect of reserving a number of scholarships for smaller schools which are at present unduly handicapped. The Council would be prepared to consider this draft at an early date and to notify their decision as to its acceptance by them or otherwise, without delay.n The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Miss O'Ryan seconded by Mr. Corish:- "Tqat in accordance with results of examination of 1936 furnished by Department of Education, Scholarships under Secondary & Vocational Scheme be awarded the following:- 1.

KILUORE LIFE BOAT STATION Under date 6th August 1936 the Assistant Secretary, Royal National Life Boat Institution, Life Boat House, 42, Grosvenor Gardens, London, S.W.l, wrote (FG.T/S) that the Committee of Management of the Institution had decided to provide a 35 foot 6 inch Motor Lite Boat for Kilmore station and asked the consent of the Council to put in hands the work at the harbour which was necessary for the efficient handling of the Boat. A drawing showing what they desired to carry out was enclosed. The County Surveyor said that the proposed work would not interfere with naVigation of the harbour in any way. The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. Cummins seconded by Mr. Colfer:- "That, in view of the recommendation of County Surveyo~ the request of Royal National Lite Boat Institution to carry out work as set out on drawing which accompanied their ot 6th August 1936 (FG.T/S) in connection with the installa- © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES _____ ------_----'--~~k~ tion of Motor Life Boat for Kilmore station be agreed to, work to be carried out to the satisfaction of the County Surveyor. 1t UNEMPLOYMENT GRANT Under date 4th August, 1936 (RW/203) the Department of Local Government and public Health wrote that provided a scheme to meet the approval of the Department of Local Government and Public Health was formulated a Grant of £460 would be available for works for relief of unemployment in New Ross Urban District if a second £460 was contributed from local funds. The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. Redmond seconded by Mr. Cummins:- "That in the event of New Ross Urban District Council agreeing to raise £420 for the relief of unemployment in said district, the County Council will be prepared to direct the County Surveyor to submit a Scheme for the expenditure of £920 to the Department of Local Government and Public Health for approval. That the New Ross Urban Council be requested to offer recommendations to the County Surveyor as to what reconstructi on work they desire to see carried ou,t. It Mr. Thomas Redmond said the New Ross Urban Council would, at their meeting to be held during the 'week, consider the question of raising the £420 by way of loan and it was almost certain the necessary resolution to do so would be adopted. NEW ROSS UNEMPLOYED Under date 25th July 1936, representations as to work for Unemployed in New Ross Urban District at Road Work in the town were received. There were roughly 200 men out of work in the district and only seven were employed on the £4000 improvement Job. They considered this was neither © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES fair nor Just and asked the CountyI Council to direct the County Surveyor to push forward the work. They believed that the work of obtain1ng material in the quarry was at a stand-still. They could not see why townsmen were not employed at the quarry as the town was putting up £2000 of the oost of the reconstruction. They claimed the work as their right and that single men should get equal share with the married, as in some cases, single men had as many depen- dante as married men. They also asked for a fortnight's shift which was the only way most of the unemployed could secure a share of the work. The manner in which it was being carried out at present was in their opinion, a waste of public money as having no material ready for finishing, the bottoming with the traffic would break up. They strongly obJeoted to have the road metalling tarred in the quarry and then brought to the town, as neither labourers 10r carters in the Urban District would get a day's work. Mr. Corish oontended that as New Ross Urban Council were putting up the money for the road improvement, men from the Urban District should be employed in the quarry, and that the material should be mixed with tar on the road and not in the quarry. The estimate for this work was prepared by Mr. Shortall, Town Surveyor, and it should be assumed he cODtemplated employing urban labour. The County Surveyor said if the request regarding the material was agreed to it would mean double handling of all the material and increased cost for cartage. Mr. Walsh did not like to intervene as he had voted against New Ross Urban Council handing over to the County Council the maintenance and improvement_ of their streets, but, at the same time, he considered it only Just that the labourers in New Ross should get at least as much work as if the Urban Council was still in control see1ng that the © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES Council had to provide £2000 of the money. Mr. T. Redmond said that New Ross Urban they were unable to put the streets in proper condition, asked for a Grant for the purpose. They were told if they were not able to deal with their streets they should hand them over to the County Council. There was no Urban Coun cillor in favour of that step. A deputation from the Urban Council went to the Department of Local Government and Public Health and were told that unless the Roads were under the supervision of the County Surveyor they would get no Grant. Up to that pOint the Urban Council had not done anything relative to preparing a Scheme. The Town Surveyor then pared a Schem"e for £5600, but the Department would have nothing to say to it unless the work was under the control of the County Surveyor. When final word came from the Department they were informed that a Grant of £2000 would be forthcoming provided the Urban Council would put up a similar amount and were prepared to hand over the management of all the streets to the County Surveyor. Faced with this alter native, the Urban Council, with the exception of Mr. Walsh, agreed to hand over the streets to the County Surveyor and to raise the money. This being the situation, he did not see how anyone could now interfere with the County Surveyor in the matter. There was no use now in bringing in new conditions and new matters. With regard to the objection as to the manner in which the work was carried out, where in the past did the material come from for the Urban Council: from County Wicklow, Ballykelly and Carrigbyrne. No one regretted more than he (Mr. Redmond) that there was a single unemployed man in New Ross town, but, once the work was hand ed over to the County Surveyor he questioned any interference with him by New Ross Urban Councilor anyone else. serious matter if the County Surveyor considered that the employment of extra men or changing the procedure ot carrying © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES out the work would mean waste of money. The County Surveyor agreed with the statement of Mr. Redmond. In the past the Urban District Council obtained their road material from Balleece in County Wicklow and from Ballykelly and Carrigbyrne in County Wexford. He (County Surveyor) was obtain1ng the bottoming from Ballykelly and the surfacing material from Carrigbyrne, as these were the only suitable quarries within reasonable range of the worL If, as he explained, the mixing with tar was to be carried out on road it would mean double handling and extra charge for cartage. This would run to an increase of 1/- per yard or l~ in the cost of the material. He joined issue with the last paragraph in the letter. If they did the work piece meal it would cost a great deal more. There were eight or nine men and five carters employed and he contended that the manner in which the work was belng dealt with at present was the most efficient and most economical. He also pointed out that when New Ross Urban Council employed a Contractor to provide material from Carrigbyrne, he (County Surveyor) hired the County Council road plant to him in order to fac ilitate the Urban Council. The proposed fortnight's shift would add to the cost and the work would not be as efficient. After further discussion, Col. Quin proposed and Mr. MI. Redmond seconded the following:- "That in the opinion of the County Counc11, the County Surveyor is carrying out the Road Work in New Ross Urban district to the best advantage, and is exercising all le economy coupled with efficiency in this matter." Mr. Corish proposed and Mr. Kelly seoonded the following which was subsequently withdrawn:- "That road material for repair of New Ross streets be carted to New Ross town and there mixed with tar." The County Surveyor in reply to the Chairman said if this proposal was adopted the amount of work would have to © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES be curtailed by one-eighth. The resolution of Col. Quin was then put and passed. SLADE AND FETHARD ROADS Mr. Michael J. Fortune, Chairman Fethard Fianna Fail Cumann wrote calling attention to the discontent existing amongst ratepayers and the public in general owing to the neglect of the County Council to keep the roads in Slade and Fethard Districts in a better condition. They were a mass of potholes and covered with loose stones and the Cumann requested surface repair should be carried out with as delay as possible. The road from Campile to the Hook be seen to first as it was in a shocking state particularly the Hook end. Every other area in the County was tar ahead as regards having good road conditions. The Cumann also called attention to the bad state of the Harbours at and Slade and suggested that the time was opportune to apply to the Government for a grant for, them. The County Surveyor said he was doing all that could be done for these roads with allocation given for them. The Fetbard end had been done and a further extension would be dealt with when another improvement grant was available. The only way to carry out satisfactory improv~ment was by a special proposal in the Road Works Scheme for next financial year. The question of repair of harbours at Slade and Fethard was referred to the Finance Committee. CAMPILE TO HOOK ROAD Mr. Thomas Redmond complained of the condition ot the road through Campile to Ramsgrange and on to the Hook. It had to carry heavier lorry and general motor traftic than many main roads and it was most essential that, - in the interests of the travelling public - it should be improved. It was decided that the repair ot this road be the sub- © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES Jeot of a speoial proposal in next Road Works Soheme. DUNCANNON ROADS Mr. P. Sullivan and 12 other res1dents of Dun 0 ann on wrote asking that the road lead1ng along the Strand from Heery's Corner 1n Dun0 ann on to Ballystraw Hill be put into proper repair and the approaoh from the village to strand oleaned up, also the road from Garda Barraoks to the Strand so that visitors and tourists m1ght have a favourable 1mpres sion of an out-of-the-way seas1de resort 1n Ireland. It was four years sinoe they had asked any repairs to be done. The County Surveyor sa1d he was d01ng what was poss1ble with the money available for the repair of the roads 1n ques t10n. If improvement was to be made an 1noreased allooation should be provided next year. ROADWAY TO KILLILLA GRAVEYARD The Blaokwater Branoh of Fine Gael wrote ask1ng the County Counoil to have the right-of-way to Killil1& graveyard put in suoh a way that the relatives of deoeased persons about to be interred there would have a decent road to the graveyard, as at present people had to walk kneedeep in mud and vehioles could be brought only a oertain distanoe. The outlay would not be great and it would re11eve unemployment. The following resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. O'Byrne seconded by Mr. Keegan:- "That provided the County Counc11 are legally empowered the repair of laneway at Killil1& graveyard be soheduled under Minor Relief Sohemes Vote when money beoomes available. And that copy of letter relative to this matter be the County Board of Health for the1r consideration." BALLYGOMAN (BARNTOWN) LANE Seven ratepayers wrote applying for the rapa1r of about quarter of a m11e of laneway at Ballygoman, Barn town , under © WEXFORD COUNTY COUNCIL ARCHIVES Minor Relief Schemes Vote. The following resolution was adopted on the motion ot Miss O'Ryan seconded by Mr. Corish:- "That application for repair of Ballygoman Lane, Barn town, be scheduled for repair under Minor Relief Schemes Vote when money is available." ROADS ETC. IN BALLYMORE DISTRICT Under ' date 26th July, 1936, the Secretary of Ballymore branch of the Irish Labour Party called attention to the dangerous state of some of the roads of the district, and also asking for some improvement to be made at the corners of Yoletown and Montfield. It was decided to point out that no money was available for improvement of corners at the moment and to reter the complaint as to roads to the County Surveyor. BALLYRANNELL LANE A memorial numerously signed was submitted by Mr. John Cullen, Ballyrannell, Glenbrien, for repair of Ballyrannell Lane, which leads from one public road to another, Mr. Cullen described as the worst in the County. The following resolution was adopted on the motion of the Chairman seconded by Mr. Keegan:- "That Ballyrannell Lane be scheduled for repair under Minor Relief Schemes Vote when money becomes available." PROPOSED MOTOR PARKING PLAQE AT BALLYMONEY, GOREY. Mr. Richard O'Brien, Hon. Secretary to Association ot Residents and visitors to Ballymoney Sea-side resort torward ed representations to convert an unused strip of commonage into a turning and parking place for Motor cars.
