The monthly meeting of this board was held at the Council chamber on Monday afternoon last, the members in attendance being the Rev. J. Williams (chairn^an)) ]yjr< q Roberts (vice- chairman), Rev. Or. Hugfjeg> ancj j) Morris, SALARIES AND BILLS. Cheques were draw^ in discharge of salaries and one-third grant due to the head teachers half-grant due to Mr 1 W. Roberts, pupil teacher, as he had obtained first-class certificate in free. hand drawing and a number of bills. ANNUAL REPORT. The Clerk presented II. M>1 report f ,r the year, which was as follows :-Boys' Se/tool-" The work of this school seems to have been well done." Girls' School- good and painstaking work has been done in this school." Infants' School- "This school continues to be w^ll and carefully instructed." 1, U. A. James and H. Owen have passed the examination for admission to a four years apprenticeship, but are too young. for admis- sion. James and Owen may be recognised under Article 33 if desired. The' schools are exempted from examination next year, as was the case this year. The grants earned were the highest:— Hoys', 21s 6d (including drawing), amounting to JE84 17s; Girls', 208 6d, amounting to E84 Is Infants', JE91 16s,-total grant JE253 17s, which, together with JE134 fee grant, make up the total receipts from Government to be JE306 19s. The report on the drawing was good." The Clerk stated th;it in the freehand drawing examination of pupil teachers, Thos. VV. Roberts had obtained a first-class certificate, and Annie Maude Davies and David Rees obtained second. class. Two certificates of merit were also awarded to pupils of the school. The case of the blind girl, aged 8 years, was under consideration. The reply the clerk had from the Blind Inetitution at Swansea was to the effect that the terms of admission was JE18 4s, payable half-yearly in advance for board and tuition, enclosing a list of requisites besides. It was resolved on the motion of Mr J. C. Roberts, seconded by Mr Morris, that the matter be deferred pending further information from the Education Department on tne question of liability should the parents remove to another district, as they had only come to the district a few years ago. RETURN OF SALARIES TO TEACHERS. The Chairman having suggested an increase in the salaries of head-teachers as a recognition of the board s appreciation of their services in the past, and as an encourageruent in future, Mr Roberts having moved for a return showing the amount of salaries paid them for the last five years, the clerk presented the return, which showed that the average paid to the head teacher in the boys' department was fH2 15s lid, with f5 in 1894 in respect of evening continuation school, and flO in 1895 girls' department, 984 8s 8d, with 95 in 1894 and 1895 for services rendered in the evening continuation school; infants' department, g84 903 8d, with same amounts for evening continuation school. The Chairman expressed his belief that the board should show their appreciation of the teachers' services in the past, as thev had worked very hard and faithfully to keep up and improve the condition of the school. The annual receipts this year had been increased by jE45 14s 6d owing to better attendance, and consequently higher average. After some discussion, Mr Morris submitted a proposal, which, he was convinced, would both increase the salaries of the head teachers and be an inducement to further exertions in future. It was that one-third of the grant be given to the head teachers in each department up to £66, and one-half of the amount gained over and above that amount. The scheme was unanimously adopted. CARDIGAN INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL. MEETING OF THE LOCAL MANAGERS. An ordinary meeting of the Local Managers of the above joint school was held at the Council Chamber at noon on Monday last. The members present were the Rev. J. Williams, Mrs Phillips, Mrs Lewis, Messrs Jeremiah Stephens, E. H. James, Ivor Evans, E. Thomas, D. Jones, Thos. Havard, O. B. Evans, Dr. Rees (head master), and Mr James Stephens (clerk). The newly-elected representatives of school boards took the usual declarations. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN AND VICE-CHAIRMAN, The Rev. J. Williams was unanimously re- elected chairman for the ensuing three years, and Mr E. H. James was elected vice-chairman for the same period. Mr E. H. James was also elected a representa- tive on the Pembrokeshire Governing Body. REPORT OF HEAD-MASTER. Dr. Rees' report stated that the average number of scholars for the year was 86. He complained that the scholars were withdrawn from school at nmch too early a period, which was detrimental to the work of the school, and a loss to the scholars -being taken away at the very time when marked progress would be made. He recommended the renewal of scholarships for 9 pupils. The Chairman, dealing with the report, pointed out that he should like to have something more definite as regards the proposed renewals. The head master had recommended 9, but they had decided on giving only 6. Dr. Rees selected 4 boys and 2 girls, andjothers for bursaries, which was adopted. The pupils to whom scholarships were awarded are :—William Beynon, E. O. James, J. Michael, W. James, Harriet Rees, and Letitia Pugh. With respect to the outside competitive scholar- ships, nine children had been selected as the best by the examiner. It was stated that some, owing to their circumstances could not accept them, and needed bursaries to assist them. The Clerk reported that several candidates who had won scholarships would not avail them- selves of them, as they were not in a position to support themselves from home. This announcement created a long discussion, in the course of which it was suggested that £5 be granted to each scholar whose circumstance mili- tated against its acceptance. The chairman also stating that Mr Fryer, clerk to County Governing Body, had declared his conviction that the Local Managers would be justified in granting scholar- ships and bursaries to deserving pupils hence a sum of f,3 or JE5 could be added to the scholarships. They were in a position to do so, as they had money in hand, and were obliged to expend one- fifth of their income in scholarships and bursaries. Ultimately it was agreed to supplement the scholarships by £3 in the case of Myfanwy Griffiths, and that Mr D. Jones be requested to ascertain without delay whether she was prepared to accept the scholarship and grant, otherwise the next on the list would be offered the scholarship. The Clerk stated that the six boys had accepted the scholarships. N In the case of Harriet Rees and Letitia Pugh, two pupils from the country, their scholarships were renewed, with a bonus of £ 3. Mr E. H. James thought it would be a very good thing to allow winners of scholarships to take them with them to any school they liked. The question was discussed at the last meeting of the Pembrokeshire Governing Body, and lost by one vote, but it would be brought on at the next meeting again. The Chairman pointed out that the Governors in Cardiganshire were opposed to that proposition, as it would make it compulsory for one district to pay out of their fund for the tuition of a scholar in another district. That would be robbing one district to enrich the other. With scholarships given by the County that could be done, but not with those given by a district. DESERVING BOYS AND GIRLS. Eight pupils having been recommended as deserving by Dr. Rees, the sum of E3 each was granted them by way of bursaries. An application from Mr E. Evans, Board School, St. Dogmells, for a bursary grant to two boys and a girl who had not stood the scholarship examina- tion. Mr Havard pointed out that, besides a bursary, it would be necessary to supply Mary Davies with books and stationery. The sum of 93 each was voted to Tom John, Wm. Joshua Davies, John Phillips, and Mary Davies, the latter, also to have books and station- ery free. CHEQUES. Cheques were drawn in payment of jE300 to Messrs John Williams & Son, contractors, f20 to the architects, and f3 to Mr Williams, H.M.I.S., for conducting the examination for scholarships. MEMORIAL PLATE. Mrs Phillips' motion to place a brass tablet inserted in white marble in the wall of the new building in memory of Lady Mary Cornwallis, the donor of the Grammar School foundation scholar- ships in 1760, was unanimously agreed to, and a committee appointed to ascertain the particulars. APPOINTMENT OF SCIENCE MASTER. For the above appointment there were 23 appli- cants. Dr. Rees and the clerk had been through the testimonials, and the number had been reduced to three, these having the best teaching experience. They were Mr Fred. C. Cary, B.Sc., Mr W. D. Braithwaite, B.A. and B.Sc., of London and Victoria Universities, and A. M. Stewart, B.Sc., Brynmawr. The votes were taken by ballot, and the result was declared by the Chairman as follows :—Mr Braithwaite, 6 Mr Stewart, 4. The former was, consequently, duly appointed, on the motion of Mr Havard, seconded by Mr O. B. Evans. TRAINING IN WOOD-WORK. The Chairman stated that Mr D. White Jones, third master, had, during his holidays, taken a course of instructions in wood-working, and had gained a certificate. Towards the expenses in. curred by him he would be entitled to 94 from the county, but he would be £5 out of pocket. He thought, inasmuch as Mr Jones had taken the course of instruction for the benefit of the school, he should be compensated for the expenses out of pocket which had been incurred by him. It was agreed to make him a grant of JE5. DRAINAGE OF THE INTERMEDIATE BUILDINGS. The Chairman called attention to the import- ance of seeing that the proposed scheme of drain- age could be carried out as at first intended,and if not, the matter should be seen to without delay. A committee was appointed to meet Mr Morgan, ths architect, on the spot on an appointed day, for consultation. DESIRED AMENDMENTS IN SCHEMF, The Chairman having reverted to the question put by Mr O. Owen, M.A., Inspector of schools, as to whether they had any amendments to the present scheme to offer, said he wished particu- larly for a change in the age limit of admission, as 19 years excluded a large number of young men who would be glad to avail themselves of the previleges of the school. He should like also to pass as a recommendation, that the amount to be expended on scholarships should be left to the discretion of the Managers. The two recommendations were adopted, and the clerk was requested to forward them to the County Governing Bodies, so as to back them up on whenever an application for amendments might be made. THE ANNUAL BREWSTER SESSIONS. These sessions were held at the Guildhall, on Monday morning last, the sitting magistrates being Messrs. W. J. Williams (mayor), W. Picton Evans, Lewis Evans, Wm. Lewis, T. E. Davies, O. B. Evans, D. O. Jones, W. H. Davies, and O. Williams. TRANSFERS. The licence of the Fat Ox Inn was permanently transferred to Mr David Jones, and that of the Fishguard Arms to Mr Wm. Lewis; the off- licence of Gloucester House permanently to Mr Thos. C. Williams. TRANSFER DAYS. The following were fixed upon as transfer days: —1897—1st Monday in October and December; 1898—1st Monday in February, April, and June 2nd Monday in August, and the 26th of Septem- ber. OBJECTIONS. MrWilliams, Deputy Chief Constable, intimated that he had served notices of objections on the tenants of the White Lion, Castle Arms, and Newport Arms, on the ground that no excise licences had been taken out last year for the houses. Mr D. Davies, chairman of the Swansea Old Brewery Company, stated that in the case of the White Lion, the tenant was very very old, infirm, and in bad health, and on that account had not been able to pay rent or taxes to the company. It was a loss to the company that the tenant retained possession of the house; but owing to the fact that she had spent her life in the house, and had no other place to go to, he did not feel justified in ejecting the poor old woman in her present state. As to the Royal Oak Inn, there was a legal difficulty; the tenancy had not expired, the landlord had quitted the town, and possession could not be had. Such being the case, he, as owner, applied for the transfer of the licence to himself. DEPUTY CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. Gentlemen,—I have the honour to report that 45 full licences for keeping public houses were granted last year for the borough of Cardigan, eight of which are available for 7 days, and 37 for 6 days one licence for the sale of wine and beer off the premises, and one wine licence, being the same number as granted the previous year. At present there are four public houses not kept open for the sale of intoxicating liquors, three of which have not taken out an excise licence during the year, viz., The Castle Arms, White Lion Inn, and the Newport Arms. I have served notices of objections against the renewals of these licences. The Royal Oak Inn is not tenanted at present. During the year the landlord of the Cardigan Bay Inn, St. Dogmells, had been fined 20s and costs for keeping his house open on Sunday, and the landlord of the Webley Arms (Poppit) was fined Is and costs for an offence against the Sunday Closing Act." In the case of the convicted houses, inasmuch as the offences were not serious, the Deputy Chief Constable stated that he did not intend objecting to the renewal of the licences. THE DEPUTY CHIEP CONSTABLE'S OBJECTIONS. P.C. Owen proved service of the objections, and Sergt. Williams that no excise licences had been taken out in respect of the houses—White Lion, Castle Arms, and Newport Arms. Mr W. Picton Evans (from the Bench) Is non user a legal objection ? Magistrates' Clerk I think it is. Mr W. Picton Evans It is not, according to the Act of 1870, called the Wine and Beer Act, under which the certificate is applied for at present. Magistrates' Clerk: In this case the Act you refer to does not apply, as the houses hold a lull licence under the old Act, hence the objection laid by the police does not form one of the four grounds of objection under the 1872 Act. Mr W. Picton Evans In the case of the Queen v. Silvester, an appeal against the refusal of Magistrates to grant a certificate to a public house because no spirit licence had been taken out, was held to be wrong. The renewal of the certificate covers the whole licence. That principle applies here. Magistrates' Clerk These licences have been taken out under another Act than 1872, and if it is the intention of allowing the full licences to drop, they mnst renew their application under the Wine and Beer Act of 1872, as the proceedings are different. Inasmuch as the necessary steps have not been taken, and the application not made sub- ject ito the provisions of the 1872 Act, the objec- tion is valid. Mr W. Picton Evans In the case of Queen v. Silvester, it was held that the Magistrates had no right to refuse the renewal of the certificate be- cause no spirit licence had been taken out. I should like to know whether Magistrates have power to refuse to grant a certificate to these houses under the Wine and Beer Act. The Act should be looked into. Magistrates' Clerk Magistrates have power to refuse renewals under certain circumstances, pro- vided the objections are on legal grounds. In the case of the Queen v. Silvester referred to, a general rule had been passed by the bench before the ap- plication was made that su ch renewals would not be granted. The decision in the case was against the general rule passed by the bench, and not against their power to refuse a renewal. Mr W. Picton Evans The question is whether we have discretionary power. I believe there are too many public houses in the borough, but these do no harm, as they do not sell any drink. Magistrates' Clerk I have no doubt but the bench have discretionary power under certain circumstances. It would be well for the bench to hear each case. Reasons having been given for not taking out spirit licences, after a lonl, diliberation the bench decided to renew the licences to the tenants for the present year, but did not bind itself to renew or refuse next year, as each case wouid have to be taken on its merits. All the other licences were also renewed. USING PROFANE LANGUAGE. Evan Evans, rag and bone collector, Mwldan was, on the iniormation of P.C. Young, fined 10s and costs, for making use of profane language at the Strand, on the 14th ult. Defendant called his brother-in-law, John Morgan, as a witness, who denied that the defendant made use of profane language on the evening in question but the police stated that two young ladies passed at the time. The Mayor, in giving the decision of the bench, stated that it was their wish that the prosecution would be a warning to defendant an>l others, as it was decided to put down the prevail- ing use of indecent lan^u ige in the streets. Should he come before the beach again the full penalty would be inflicted. MAINTENANCE CASE. Rosetta Hurril, in service at 8, Richmond- terrace, Cardiff, was summoned by the Cardigan Union to show cause why an order should not be made on her to contribute towards the support of her mother who had become chargeable to the common fund of the U Dion. Mr D. R. Baynes, relieving officer, who proved the chargeability, stated that defendant was in good service, and receiving in wages JE15 or JE20 a year. He had also been empowered to summon defendant's two brothers, but had not succeeded in serving them. An order for 9d per week was made. AN EXTRAORDINARY CURE OF CONSUMPTION The following testimonial is from one whose occupation compels him to be out in all weather. "Orcus-street, Capland-street, Grove-road, N. NV: Gentlemen, I suffered from Consumption five years had a cavity in the right lung, and my cough used to keep me awake all night long, having to sit up most of the night. I have been under the treatment of four different Hospitals, besides several private practitioners, who all seemed to think my case incurable, but was advised to try the Anti- Microbe Inhalation aud ''Milky Cough Mitxure,' and after ten weeks of that treatment my cough has gone. I spit no blood, which I did before. I can sleep the clock round every night without a cough, in fact, consider myself cured. -Yours, etc., MICHAEL CONNELLY.

A committee meeting of the council was held on Tuesday morning last, the members present being Councillor W. J. Williams (mayor), Alder- man Lewis Evans, Councillors Roberts, D. Ivor Evans, and E. Jenkins. VICTORIA GARDEN RAILINGS. The Town Clerk stated that these railings had been completed and painted, and looked very well. Before the application for payment came before the finance committee on Friday evening, it would be well for to proceed to inspect them, so as to satisfy themselves with respect to the work. The memben not feeling much inclined to go and inspect them, having done so personally, Alderman Evans moved that it be a recommenda- tion to the Council to pay the contractor, as a good job had been done. This was agreed to. THE MWLDAN YARD. The Mayor stated that the next matter was the consideration of the offer made by the trustees of Mrs Allen to enclose the quay adjoining Draw- bridge House, convert it into a yard, and let it at a low rent to the corporation, if they desired it. The present state of the Mwldan river, the expense of clearing it out so as enable vessels to come up to the quay, as well as that there was no pressing call for an extra yard, led to a decision s that the offer could not be entertained at present. THE CLAY PITS. Attention was called to the present state of the clay pit, and the mode the clay was being dug out. The work should be carried out in a more satis- factory manner. It was also suggested that trees be planted inside the boundary wall from the old reservoir to the Recreation Ground, and only one manure heap kept at the depot. The hedges of the garden plots and Recreation Ground needed repairing, as well as the road leading thereto. These questions would be brought forward again. PUBLIC LIGHTING AT ST. DOGMELLS. The Town Clerk stated that the time had ar. rived for the lamps in the St. Dogmells part of borough be lit, and that he had sent for Mr George, who had performed the duties very satis. factory last year, so as to ascertain whether he was prepared to preform the duties this season for the same remuneration. It was pointed out to him that the duties entailed a good deal of care and labour, and the man was inclined to ask for an advance in his wages. After deliberating on the matter, it was resolved to offer the same wages as was paid Mr George laat yeat. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The usual meeting of this board was held on Thursday last, at the Union Workhouse, when there were present:—Messrs. B. Rees (in the chair), W. O. Brigstocke, W. Picton Evans, Thos. Colby, J. Evans (Verwig), J. Mathias, E. Lewis, J. Rowe, E. Williams, John Griffiths, Thomas Hughes (Aberporth), J. James, David Evans, J. Adams, Capt. Richards, Capt. Morgan, and Revs. B. P. Griffiths and T. M. Jones. The fortnightly statistics were as follows:- INMATES AND TRAMPS In the house, 47 corresponding period of last year 51 Admitted during the last fortnight, 1 dis. charged, 0 born, 0 died, 0 Tramps relieved during the fortnight, 27 cor- responding period of last year, 35. OUT-RELIEF Amount expended last fortnight, JE121 19s Od corresponding fortnight of last year, fll8 12s 6d being an increase of a 6s 6d. Balances in hands of relieving officers :-Baynes, £ 2 19s 9d Griffiths, f2 lis 7d. The number of paupers relieved during the last fortnight was 529 corresponding fortnight of last year, 543 being a decrease of 14. BALANCE IN BANK The balance in the bank in favour of the board was JE1238 15s Od. The Chairman pointed out that though there was a decrease in tne number of out-door paupers, there was still to be found an increase in the amount of out-relief. He thought, seeing such a large balance in hand, that the "calls," which would be made shortly, should be reduced. The Clerk was afraid that could not be done, as £500 was now due as county rates, but Pem- brokeshire still owed them JE200. If it could be done he would do so. APPOINTMENT OF NURSE. The general order of the Local Government Board prohibiting the employment of inmates to perform the duties of nurse, or general house work on which servants should be engaged, which will come in force on the 29th inst., caused a dilatory discussion on the right of the board above to dictate what should be done, and capability of the present staff to meet the requirements of the house. In reply to questions, the master stated that a capable and practical woman as nurse was a necessary addition to the staff, as there were four helpless and bedridden inmates to attend to, who had to be washed several times in the day. His staff consisted of the matron, servant, and one inmate, with Miss Hughes, an aged person, recently appointed to look after the children and give medicine to sick. The latter was taken on charitable grounds, and had but Is per week salary. Mr Brigstocke protested in strong terms against the engagement of Miss Hughes at a nominal wage to serve an end which she had in view. It was a monstrous job, and it had been done, not. withstanding his and the chairman's protestations. If she was poor she should get relief in the same manner as others did. Ultimately it was resolved to advertise for a practical (not a trained) nurse, of good character, competent to converse in Welsh and English, at a salary of £ 16. The staff to remain as at present constituted for a while. In the list of goods to be tendered for next year butter and cheese were added..
