BILLETING AT BANGOR. (To tho Editor.) Sir,-Arriying home at Bangor for a few days' leaYe, I learnt of the intention of tiie miLitary authorities to billet a number of troops on this city. I hava liud a very good Oi-jportunity of stwdying th buileting q'uestden at weverai large centres, ajnonigsi these being Chester, Beccles, GreaL Yarmouth, Cambridge, and Bedford. I have observed closely the effect on cuch places from a point of Nicw of the iiicroa^e in trace ac- cruiiig from the increase in cash at th eL d isp:i,,al of the houae-keepcra Taking 1500 troops as a it is seen tnat £ 1500 as billeting yayment is a modest ectiniate, and allows a suSstantial sum for tlw thrifty housewife who puts a bit away. The troops will receive about JB700 weekly in pay, and the Tommy who has any pay left at the end of a week i" yet to bo found. So that roughly their advent to Bangor will moan the circulation of an extra £ 2200 week)v. Yours, etc., SAPPER HUGH G. EDWARDS, R.E. Ilaynes Pa.rk, Bedford. (Tv the Editor). I gi.r,-A large number of the residents in West End, Carnarvon-road, Gianadda, and the R-ajl- way Company'g hcusses have asKod mc to express publicly tiirouigh the medium of your paper their keen disappointment a.nd strong disapproval of tlic treatment accorded to them by those re- Epons!b? for tho Ltllptu')? of troops in the city. The object in invtlting to Baj?<x' w&a to bendit bo nail do houseiioiders who diuring tho oriticat perh-xl through which wo are passing find it difficult to make uoth ends meet. That ob- ject ia lxxnig dcfcatied when wcil-to-d'o resideoita of the city, some willingly and others unwil- lingly, are having the troops billeted upon them, whilst a large number of the respectable stiiii-ng working ela<sse,> are entirely ignored. There is accoinmodatio-u m the West End, Carnarvon-road, Gianadda, and the Railway Company's houses for 500 men, but up to now 11.0 only havo been billeted there; whilst other parts of the city with poorer accommodation in every respect have been literally packed almost to overcrowding. The only reason given for barring the* West End is the long distance from the training ground, i.e., Pettrhyn Park, but surely the Weot End ia, to say the least, 1.0 further than Victoria Park, besides beitng very much more get-at-able, being in the main road. I sincerely trust'that an l erfort will be made to invito ajiotner battalion to the city 60 that bo whole city might benefit. Yours, etc., Bangor. G. TEG ID DAVIES. I
