LETTER (copy) from E. Watkins to R. Barnett, County Treasurer, Dolgellau, enclosing payment for the "Arenig"’ Drainage Scheme. "...the scheme has proved an utter failure and not only has it done no good, but also it has done a lot of harm...now the floods come down so suddenly that they (the tenants) have no chance to remove their stock and heavy losses will result....under the circumstances, it is clearly unfair that Mr Price should be called upon to contribute anything towards the cost of the scheme. On the other hand, your committee should handsomely compensate him...".
