Mike (looking at water-cart): “I say Pat, stop that driver and tell him his cart is leaking.” Pat: "Begorra, man, don’t show yer ignorance. That’s ter keep the kids off the back." Officers of the New Brighton Borough Council are to be asked to deal with a colony of rats which has established itself in the banks of the river alongside the tramway bridge there. The menace constituted by this new invasion was mentioned at a meeting of the council by the Mayor (Mr E. L. Smith). He said the rats might do a great deal of damage unless they were dealt with very soon. It was stated by members that the worst harm the rats did along the river was in undermining the banks.
