| Description | [Concern at the increase in the price of bullion – is not on any account inclined to reduce the thickness of the plating on the reflector plates which they have accepted as a standard. The Lighthouse of May on the Eastern coast and a Lighthouse on the coast of Galloway will soon be ready. The plates for the Irish Board have no connection with the orders for the Northern Lighthouses but he will undertake to see that they are paid for. The Irish are generally very punctual in settling their accounts. There is a proposal for erecting lighthouses on the Isle of Man by the Northern Lighthouses Board – on his return he proposes to visit there and will call at Birmingham on his way.] |
