Mr J Parry Jones, Festi- niog; Mr John Owen, Taloarnau and Dr Robert Roberts, Plasmeunydd, also wrote regretting their inability to attend. A letter was read from Mrs Hughes Jones, Aberdovey, thanking the Council for sympathy expressed with her on the death of the late Alderman J. Hughes Jones. Mr William Jones, Conway, also wrote acknowledging the vote of condol- ence passed with the family on the death of his brother, the late Mr Rob- ert Jonc, clerk of the peace. The Chair. Un the proposition or 31r Andreas Roberts, seconded by Mr Meyrick Jones, the Vice-Chairman, Mr. Evan Jones, was unanimously appointed chairman ror the ensuing year and iii returning thanks the new "CTiairman said he regarded it as a great honour to be chairman of the pioneer County Council in Wales. (Hear hear.) Having vacated the chair, Dr John Jonefi was accorded a hearty vote of thanks on the proposition of Mr Wm. i Owen. seconded wy Atr D G Jones, for his services as chairman and, in reply, he said it bad been a great pleasure and honour for hfm, to have filled the chair, however inadequa,ely he had done so. He was glad of the opportunity to thank the Council for the kindness, sympathy. and courtesty extended to him during the time he occupied the chair. and he hoped thry had over-looked his imperfec- tions which he was afraid were manifold. It was a great pleasure for him to have filled the chair, particularly because his! father v/nr, the fiist chairman of the Council-snd he ('Dv. Jones) hoped that he vacated the chair as unsullied as he found it. (Applau e.j On the proposition of Mr John F\ans, seconded by Mr Robert Hichards. Mr D G Jone was appointed vice- i chairman and on bkiLL «;¡air be tli; nCouncil for the honour confer! on Lm and said that he would d) hi, t to serve them. Ejection of Aldermen. The Council then proceeded to elect seven :;klernien. The seven retiring a'dermrn bv rotation, including the late J Hughes .J anns Aberdovev, were Mes-n W P P. van Fostmio.2: John! Hughes.

Messrs M ose; Kellow apd D G Jones received one vote each and Mr John 'he two votes. Committer of Selection. The next business being to elect a oomniitfoja to seiKici* members for the 1 various committee;. Mr Morris Thomas -said that a charge of extravagance had bec-n lew-led against the Council and he thought- prima facie evidence had been given to i-npport the charge. Tf that M as vo. the j-f spon-;ibility remained on the I committees!, a-: the Council merely con- firmed v.-hat was done by the committees and ill order to have representative mem- ber3. he proposed that the Council should be divided into three portions to appoint a committee Df. selection. Mr J Pughe Jon,), seconded the proposi. tion, but Mr Moses Keilow moved an amendment, seconded by Mr William Owen, chat the appointment should he 'made in tho ordinary way, which was carried. Mr .Morris Thomas moved another j amendment, that the names should be voted uprin openly by the Council. It was usual to prepare a list and they knew what the result had been for the past eighteen years. In many cases, the same members had been on the commit- tees from the commencement, others had been for ten years and they were apt to think they had a right to those positions and that the committees were their own preserves. (Laughter.) He thought they required ffesh blood on the committees— (hear, hear)—and the best system and most democratic would be for members of the three parts of the county to select the committees. (Cries of "Order.) He proposed that the names should be put openly rather than from a list compiled in a dark for^e as wa-s intended. The Hon. C H Wynn said he had been on one of the committees from the com- mencement and Mr Morris Thomas wac: entirely wrong in saying that members who had been on committees regarded the) position as their right. They were simply appointed for one year and he did not think a single member thought it was a permanent appointment. (Hear hear.) Mr J Pughe Jones agreed with Mr. Morirs Thomas that the work woipld be (Tone better if fresh blood was introduced Mr William Owen explaind that the names were submitted in the ordinary course and objection could be made as if each member was elected openly. Eventually, a committee consisting of nine members representing the three parts of the county waT appointed to select the various canlmitjtees. Day of Meeting. Mr. Haydn Jones proposed that the quarterly meetings of the Council should be held during the year on Wednesdays. As the meetings had hitherto been held on Thursdays, he appealed to the Festiniog friends to allow the meetings to be held in alternate years on Wednesdays and Thurs. days, so that the lower end of the county should have the benefit of cheap tickets, the Festiniog members having had that advantage in previous years. Mr John Evans seconded the proposi- tion, and Mr Wm Owen moved an amend- ment that the day of meeting should not be changed, because the majority of mem- bers benefited by having cheap fares on Thursdays. Mr J Pughe Jones maintained that Festiniog members should allow some con- sideration to members from the other end of the county for once. Mr John Morgan pointed out that the distance from Corris way was more to Bala than from Festiniog. Mr Meyrick Jones asked that the Coun. cil should do what was right. (Hear, hear) The Viee-chairman seconded the amend- ment and, said that cheap fares could be obtained from all parts of the county if half-holidays were re-arranged. The Rev Rhydwen Parry did not think the majority should take undue advan- tage of the minority. He suggested that meetings should be held at Bala on Wed. nesdays and at Dolgelley on Thursdays. Mr Owen withdrew his amendment and the proposition was agreed to for this year. A oommittee consisting of the Chairman, Messrs Maethlon James, W P Evans, and Robert Richards, was ap- pointed to make representations to the railway companies for better facilities. Mr Anwyi said that the time had ar- rived for making new arrangements with regard to the piace of meeting. It would be a treat for their friends to come from the blue stone of Festiniog to the blue sea and shining sand of Barmouth. (Laughter.) As the lower end of the county had been the sufferers for eighteen years, he moved that the four meetings held during the year should be at Bala, Dolgelley, Festiniog, and Barmouth, where a new county hall was being built. Mr John Morgan having seconded the proposition, the Hon C H Wynn said it would be no convenience for the Corwen and Bala members to meet at Barmouth, because, though it was a delightful place, the meeting would have to be shortenec an hour, and if they did not catch the half-past two tra'in to go back, they would have to kick their heels for three or four hours in admiring the blue sea and the shining sand.. (Laughter.) No action was taken and the next busi- ness was proceeded with. FOOD AND DRUGS The Public Analyst reported that fifteen samples were analysed during the quarter all of which were genuine. In reply to questions, the Deputy Chief Constable said that samples were taken every quarter all over the county. MAIN ROADS. The Committee recommended that £100 be paid to the EdeyTnion Rural District Council on account of P,500, the amount of the contribution towards the erection of a new bridge over the river Dee at Cor- wen, upon the County Surveyor certify- ing that the work had been properly carried out in accordance with the plans and. specifications; that £ 60 be paid to the Barmouth Urban District Council, the amount of the contribution towards carrying out the work of widening and improving the main road near Cell wart. L anaber, upon the County Surveyor cer- tifying that the work had been completed to his satisfaction ;that L150 be pajid to the Towyn District Council on account of L300 the amount of the contribution towards carrying out the work of widening and improving the main road at Aberdovey that no action be taken with reference to the application of the Corwen Parish Council relating to a proposed sale of par- ish property on the side of the main road; the Penrhyndeudraeth Parish Council having complained that the proposed im- provement to the main road at Griffin- terrace had not been carried' out, that the Clerk be directed to write to the Parish Council pointing out that a free gift ot the :and necessary for the carrying out of the improvement had not been obtained bSI the Parish Council in accordance with the conditions laid dowrn bv the Countv Council; that a further sum of £ 100 be paid to the County Surveyor towards oe- fraying the cost of re-building Pontyp-an. dy Bridge, Llanuwchllyn; that the County Treasurer be authorised to draw from the county fund during the ensuing quarter a sum not exceeding £100 to pay to the County Surveyor to meet the costs of repairing various bridges that Messrs Da vies Bros., be paid £ 325 on account of main roads contract; that the County Treasurer be authorised to draw between March 31st and June 30th, a sum not ex- ceeding in the whole 4-800 to pay Messrs Davies Bros., as shad be certined by the County Surveyor to be due to them that the County Treasurer be authorised to draw from the county fund during the ensuing quarter a sum not exceeding E30 to pay the County Surveyor to meet the expenses of various smad works in con- nection with main roads; that a subcom- mittee consisting of Messrs Evan Jone:; and Moses Keilow, with the County Sur- vyeor, be appointed to inspect the parapet walls on the main road at Cei Maw r and on Casson's road, Festiniog, and to report at the next meeting of this Committee; the County Surveyor having reported that tont Barcer, near Druid, parish of Gwydde.wern, had been considerably damaged by floods and was in a danger- .ous state, that a sub-committee consisting of the Hun. C H Wynn and Councillors L W idiamson andW Fouikes Jones and R N Jones, with the County Surveyor, be appointed to inspect the bridge with power to cairy out such repairs as thev think necessary immediately at a cost not ex- feeding L150 that the County Surveyor be cdieeted to invite tenders ior the pur- chase of the timber and plant used in con- ne-tiou with the reoair of Pontvpandy Llanuwchllyn, lor the next meeting of the Committee. The Sub-committee ap- p;:int( d to inspect Aberahged bridge and approaches not being prepared with a re. port, the matter was (leierre. Further enquiries were recommended to be made b to the liability to clean and keep open Aion Gaseg and ditches in the parish ot L'anfrothen. The Sub-committee ap- pointed to enquire into the suggestion of the Great Western Raiiway Company that Rhycisarn Bridge be rebuilt by the" Corn- pany. the County Council making contri- bution towards the cost, not being pre- pared with a report, the mater was de- terred. It W s also recommended that a sub-committee consisting of Messrs Evan Jones and Moses Kellow, with the Countv Surveyor, be appointed to inspect the main road at Tanygrisiau, aileged to be dan- gerous. The Surveyor reported that the w ork of repairing the mam roads in the sever; urban districts had been somewhat de- layed the severe weather and on the whole was not in so forward a condition as usual. Festiniog and Dolgelley have laid a considerable amount of macadam, and the other districts have the pre- paration of material we!l in hand. He trusted the whole of the main roads with, in the urban districts would speedily be got into a satisfactory condition. The improvment of Ceilwart. Barmouth, had been commenced, and that Gandovey terrace. Aberdovey, was rapidly approach- ing completion. The flood at the begin- ning of January did considerable damage to Pont Barcer, near Druid, completey destroying the paving under one arch, ane so undermining the centre pier so as to render it unsafe. He had certain repairs carried out to try to protect it from fur- ther damage, but a great deal remained to be done to render it permanently safe. The re-buiidmg of Pontypandy. LJan- uwehllyn, was proceeding as satisfactorily as could be expected, considering the wea. tuer'.1 frile temP01-aiT bridge ordered by the Committee w as erected in a week and proved of great service to the district. The winter proved most trying to the rural main roads. The successive spells of frost and thaw rendered these parts having poorly-formed foundations sort-ami liable to be rutted even by light vehicles. The contractors had been considerabily de- layed with their work and were conse- quently backward with the heavy repairs of some sections. There was still much to be desired in the matter of attention to smaller details, although in many sec- tions some improvement was evident with- in the past few months. The heavv wea- ther during the early part of January caused a considerable iall on Bwlch Oer Drws. which was quickly cleared, and also caused a culvert near Dinas Mawddwv to collapse, which had been repaired. At Penybwfch, Penrhyndeudraeth, a gully was put in to drain that short length of road beyond the Nar- row Gauge Railway and the drain was made to discharge on, to the land (which was nothing but waste) below the road. The owner of the land, through his solic- itors. shortly afterwards gave notice that this discharge must be discontinued, and after a futile attempt to come to some ar- rangement. the Surveyor had been com- pelled to close the drain, with the result that this piece of road was always dirty. The Great Western Railway Company had again written asking whether the Council would be willing to undertake the main- tenance of main roads over their railway bridges. He was obtaining from them full particulars as to the lengths of road with the idea of giving them an estimate as desired. Referring to Pontypandy bridge, Mr. Morris Thomas having been informed bv the Surveyor that the cost up to date was JB260 which was moe than the estim- ate, asked if a tender had not been ob- tained for erecting an iron girder bridge at £ 230 and that the Council reversed the decision of the Main Roads Com- mittee in favour of a stone bridge. He did not know how that was done unless it was owing to the persuasive powers of Mr. KeHow; but he was afraid that it was an indance of how the expenditure of the county was mis-managed, and it showed that there was extravagance. Pie beli{*ed in the contract system if pro- perly worked out. The- Surveyor said that masonry work was put down for J3175 in addition to the; original estimate" of £ 300 for the iron girders. A temporary bridge had also been erected and extra expenditure was ] due to an accident. The Hon C. H Wynn did not think that Mr. Morris Thomas had made out a case for extravagance. Mr Robert Richards asked for informa- tion a. to the contracts for the mainten- ance of urban roads., He did not understand why Bala should be paid £130 in respect of one mile, while in his rural district the cost was not more than L7 a mile. The Chairman said that the contracts were made last year for three years with the urban councils and the expenditure could not be regulated now. Mr. M. R. Morris said it was time that rural members should voice their feel- ings on the state of roads and Mr. J. Pughe Jones conipiaii-ed of the lack of supervision. The Vice-Chairman, who presented the report. having said that the Surveyor was supposed to visit the roads once a quarter before giving a certificate to the contractors, Mr Morris Thomas said that as far as he knew the Surveyor had not visited Bridge-street, Corris, for twelve months and the road was in a shameful state. The Surveyor 4-id lie visited Corris twice this year and gave instructions for the road to be repaired. Unfortunately he did not carry road repairers in his pockets. The Hon C. H. Wynn congatulated Mr Morris Thomas on having recovered so well from his illness and added that it would simplify matters if members speci- fied their complaints as he had done. By making a general charge, they did not get nearer to the Doint. The reports were then adopted. APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES. Mr Haydn Jones presented the report of the committee which had selected mem- bers for the Main Roads, Finance, Edu- cation, Contagious Diseases, Standing Joint, County Rating, and other com- mittees which were adopted, but it was agreed to re-open the question when Mr Mr. Morris Thomas pointed out that two aldermen from Dolgelley had been ap- pointed on the Standing Joint Com- mittee which was not fair because Towyn and Ajberdovey had not been represented on the committee for ten years. It was decided that Mr. Haydn Jones should be substituted for Dr John Jones although he pleaded that his hands were full with work. Mr. John Morgan said that some mem- bers were on several committees, and others on one committee only. h. Haydn Jones—Mr Morgan is a new member. If I were to tender ad- vice to a new member it would be to wait and see until we know where we are. You have to get members on committees who will work. Mr Morgan has been put on a committee where he will have full scope for his genius. (Laughter.) Mr Moses Kellow was appointed chairman of Main Roads Committee and Mr Haydn Jones re-appointed chairman of the Finance Committee. FINANCE COMMITTEE. Payments were recommended amount- ing to £ 19j&74 16s 3d. The amount voted for payment in the previous quarter was L17437 19s lid. and in the March quarter, 1906, £ 27.091 15s. lid. The Committee also recommended that should there be a deficiency in the Police Pension Fund at the close of the present financial year, namely, 31st March, the amount of de- ficiency (if any) be transferred from the county fund to the credit of the Police Pension Fund; that L206 16s 2d, the di- fference between the amount produced by a rate of one penny in the pound under the temporary basis framed pursuant to the Agricultural Rates Act. and the amount which it would have produced if levied undoy tli" former county rate basis, be transferred from the county iund to the credit of the education account, as was then received that the following rates be made, namely, 6d in the pound for gen- eral county purposes for the half year ending on September 30th, and a rate of d in the pound under the Welsh Inter- mediate Education Act in respect of the local financial year ending on March 31st as a contribution towards the expenses 01 carrying the Merioneth Intermediate Education scheme into effect, and a rate of 8d in the pound to meet the require, ments ot parts two and three of the Edu- cation Act, 1902, for the half year ending on September 30th, and that the rates be made payable—9d on May 7th and 5d on August 8th that the fee to be paid to the Agricultural Analyst (Mr J Alan Murray). under the Fertilisers and Feedings Stuffs Act, 1906, be 10s 6d per sample and that in the case of anaivsis of samples not taken by the Official Sampler that the county pay 7s 6d and the person requiring the same 33 per sample that the question of remuneration of the Official Sampler. (Mr E J Evans), be deferred for the pre- sent, but that all travelling and other ex. penses proper.y incurred by him in carry, ing out his duties under the Act be paid quarterly that the Official Sampler be in- structed to take not less than twenty sam- ples annually, but that the total number so to be taken by him shall not exceed forty in any one year; that the Chief Con- stab e be asked to instruct the police to give any assistance in their power to the Official Sampler in the performance of his duties. Mr Haydn Jones, in presenting the report, said that in November there was a balance in hand of £ 4,572 7s 6d. Rates had been received amounting to £ 3,261 9s 5d., received from the Treasury £ 1,768 18s 4d, and sundries (including £500 from the Great Western Railway Company in respect of Dolgelley bridge), £ 629 15s 5d, making a total of L10,232 10s 8d. Pay- ments were ordered at the last meeting of £ 5,573 13s. 10d., leaving a balance of £ 4,658 16s. lOd. A letter from Dolgelley Guardians asking that the county rate basis should be revised owing to the differences in the assessable value for poor law and county rate purposes, was referred to the County Rating Committee, and it was agreed to have a comparative table for the whole county. The expenses of the recent elections, amounting to £ 164 10s., were pa?*ed. Referring to the printed report of the su?.committee appointed to ascertain any and what saving can be effected in the county expenditure, Mr. A. Anwyl said he was responsible particularly for the part dealing with the constabulary expenditure and at the previous meeting the Chairman (Dr. John Jones) said he was quite sure the report was wrong in some figure-. When a. member of the Council had taken great trouble in pre- paring a statement of facts and another member challenged, that statement, of course he discredited it to some extent and it was only right that the member who challenged the statejment, having had ample time to investigate the figures, should have the candour to withdraw his criticism unless he could prove that the fign res were not right and if that vas not done he (Mr Anwyi) pointed out that the report must be accepted. Mr Meyrick Jones said that Dr John Jones was not present and the prisoner should have a fair trial. (Laughter.) The Hon C H Wynn questioned Mr Anwyl with regard to the police expenditure and asked for what periods the figures were given, so as to know how it could be proved that the police coat more in Merioneth than in any other county in England and Wales, Mr Anwyl gave figures from his returns showing the salaries of the deputy chief con- stables and superintendents in Montgomery- shire and Merioneth. The Hon C H Wynn said he could produce figures for the North Wales counties, but did not think it was desirable to detain the Council. He thought Mr Anwyl had not made out a case for accepting the report and added that they must take into consideration the extra duties put on the police and the area of the county. On the proposition of Mr Haydn Jones, it! was agreed that the report should be referred to the various committees concerned. Mr Rhydwen Parry-It ought to go out that, although we do not say the figures are wrong,' we do distinctly refuse to admit that they are right. Western Sea Fisheries. The Hon C H Wynn said that the Sub-Com- mittee appointed to inquire into the working of the Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries, would report to the next meeting. What they fe twssthat the inland counties who benefited 1 y the preservation of fish should contribute to the funds, instead of the burden having to be borne by the sea-board counties, who did not receive ao much benefit. Birkenhead Water. The Local Government Board wrote ap- proving of the Council's resolution to oppose the Birkenhead water scheme, which will inter- fere with the Asylum supply, but did not expresH an opir Ofc The Clerk informed Mr Anwyl that theN orth Wales counties had agreed on joint opposition. Metric System. Mr Moses Kellow moved that the Council should support the petition of the Decimal Association in f. v ur f the -'iopr-<,n of u.t metric system. He characterised the present system of coinage and weights and measures as diculous. The Hon C H Wynn pointed out that the pn posal would mean enormous expenditure and they should not incur it without having further information. The proposition was defeated, four only vot- ing to u. THE DOGS ACT. The provisions of this Act and of the rules and regulations framed by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries having been considered, the Executive Committee re- solved that the County Council be recom. mended- to take no steps under the Act at present. It was decided to consider fur- ther at a future meeting.

He had no intention 01 stealing, but to have a rest.-Accused was committed to take his trial at the Quarter Sessions.

LAMPhTER TOWN COUNCIL, Thursday.—Present: Present: Messrs Evan Davies, mayor; Joseph Joshua Jenkins, Wm Davies, manciple; Charles Evans, Daniel Jen- kins, John Dunn, Lewis Jones, Wm. Davies, saddler; Walter Davies, Tim. othy Richards, WTiliiam Jones, David Jones,, David Davies, J. E\ Lloyd, clerk; E. D Rees. assistant clerk; and R. Johns, inspector. Inspector's Report. In his report, the Inspector stated that in accordance with instructions, he had placed a rough layer of stones on Cam- brian-road. The sides and trenches of the outlying roads were receiving atten- tion. The work of easing the gradient at the corner of Bryn-road and Church- street was nearing completion. During the month he had made a survey of the Common with a view of preparing a scheme for its drainage. Owing to cer- tain difficulties, he would have to adopt a different scheme which would ensure success. At the previous meeting the Medical Officer in his report made an observation referring to the unsatis- factory condition of the Peterwell girls and infants' school. Some time ago, he i the Inspector) a:so called attention to the matter and he thought it was very impartant from a sanitary point of view that some steps should be taken to com- pel the school authorities to carry out the necessary improvements and to place the school buildings in a more sanitary and habitable condition. Early in the month one case of diphtheria was noti- fied at the Workhouse. The usual pre- cautions were taken and the borough was now free from any infectious disease. He had continued his house-to-house inspec- tion and found defective water supplies at Station-terrace and Harford-square. Both defects were remedied. Referring to the Peterwell School, the Inspector added that the place was in a shocking state. especially on wet weather and he thought that if the Council instructed him to serve a statutory notice on the authorities managing the school, the de- fects would be remedied.—The Clerk read a letter from the School Managers, signed by Mr Tivy Jones, clerk of the District Education Committee, which drew the Council's attention to the un- satisfactory state of Peterwell School for drainage purposes. The Committee were anxious to have the school buildings properly drained, but they found there was no sewer to connect with. The Com- mittee hoped the Council would give the matter their serious consideration with the least passible delay.—Mir D. F. Lloyd The bow is recoiling on our own heads.The Inspector: No, sir. Apart from drainage, there was a crreat deal to be desired in the school. The letter wlis really taking the wind out of the Coun- cil's sails.—Mr Walter Davies: Which is the nearest sewer they can connect with P --The Inspector: High-street. We are not asking them to connect yet, because they have nothing to connect to, but they ought to do something.-The Mayor: Is it in a worse condition than it used to be? —The Inspector: iw. Same building operations June be< .i rried on and it seems to get of better.—Mr J. Jenkins: How il be if the school was in a place where no sewer existed?— The Inspector: That is my po.iU'.—-Mr D. F. Lloyd: They can never avoid it under the circumstances. Jlwre is no drain- age for the water pipes and unless the pLace is absolutely level, there must be pools. Where is the water to go to?— Mr Walter Davies: Into a cesspool.— The Mayor: Are we bound to provide a drainage scheme, that is the puttit.Tlle Inspector: A scheme of drainage is in contemplation.—The Mayor: But our scheme may not come into operation for a year or two.—Mr William Davies: But we do not bind ourselves.—Mr Walter Davies: We can compel them to make a cesspool.—Mr Charles Evans: Is it not a fact that they can compel us to make a sewer?—The Clerk: No, sir.N,lr D. F. Lloyd proposed that a notice should be served, but that the particular defects existing apart from drainage should be pointed out.—Mr W. Davies (manciple) If we serve a notice we are bound to act on it later.—Mr AValter Davies: In justice to the children, I think we ought to compel them to make a, cesspool at once.—Mr W. Davies (saddler) seconded the proposition.—Mr William Davies pro- posed that the Clerk should write stating that a, scheme of drainage was in contem- plation and asking that something should be done in the meantime.—Mr Timothy Richards seconded the amendment which was carried. Financial. The Clerk remarked that it was not usual to report on the financial position of the Council, but he thought it would be well to do so. The balance in hand on the ordinary account was P,52 14s 9d and on the Memorial Hall account £ 29.— Mr Charles Evans enquired whether the amount invested on property was in- I eluded in the Treasurer's book ?—The 1 Clerk replied in the negative and Mr. Evans suggested that a separate account of the investments should be kept.—It was understood that the suggestion would be carried out. A Highway Rate. The Clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board adverting to previous correspondence and enquiring whether a highway rate would be levied in the bor- ough and, if so, whether the rate was f°r the whole of the borough, or if there had been any alteration in the area in which it was leviable.—The Clerk explained that letters of a simlar char- acter were received every year. The letters were referred to the Finance Com- mittee and it had always been decided to levy a rate. It was rather to the ad- vantage of the town that a highway rate should be made. because farmers had then to pay in full for the maintenance of the highways, whereas if the maintenance of the highways was included in the general district rate, farmers would have to pav one-fourth only. This year the Great Western Railway Company had become ratepayers and when the demand note off the highway rate was served upon them, they observed that the Council had no power to :svy the rate. He had looked the matter up and had come to the oon- e usion that it wou.d not be safe to levy a -ivi i ate.—Mr Wm. Davies, sadd er In your opinion we were doing wrong in levying it?—The Town C.erk Yes. If we made a t highway rate next JJr, the Great Western Railway woud be sure to ob- ject and I do not think we could recovei if they opposed.—On the pioposition of Mr Char;es Evans, the matter was re- ferred to the Finance Committee. Cowsheds and Dairies. The Local Government Board wioto that they had had under consideration the annual report of the Medical Officer of Health. They drew attention to an extract in the report which stated that the Milkshops Order had been adopted by the Council and pom ted uut that the Order was already in oporat Wil- liam Davies -,sacld e,) enquired whether it was necessary to advertise if the Order was still in operation.—The Clerk repied in the affirmatve and adoed that until re- cently it was not supposed that tuber- culosis oould be conveyed from cows to human beings and the Local Government Board considered the matter important. Sample Champagne. A chemica factory at lierkhampstead wrote enclosing a sample of disinfecting fluid which they were prepared to tender for.—Mr. D. F. L.oyd: Hear, hear. (Laughter.) Wo have had a sample bottle of champagne in our time. (Laughter.) A Library. The Clerk reported that some time ago he was instructed to obtain an extract from the wiii of Mr. J. W. Evans. He now presented the extract, trom which it appeared that Mr Evans bequeathed E56 to the Council for the purpose of founding a^ library provided the Council adopted the Free Liberies Act within tw'o years.—On the proposition On Mr. D. F. Lloyd, sec- onded by Lewis Jones, it was decided to refer the matter to the Memorial Hall Committee. A Building. Mr. D. H. Evans, 21, Bridge-street. wrote enquiring, whether a building could be proceeded with without convening a special meeting of the Council. Owing to de ay the plans could not be submitted to that meeting.—The Town Clerk was directed to reply that if the plans were submitted to the Inspector and found to correct the bui.ding could be proceeded with. Oberseers. On the propositon of Mr. Timothy Richards, seconded by Mr. Walter Davies, Messrs. D. Jones and David Davies were appointed overseers. Barley Mow. The Clerk reported that he had been instructed to prepare a letter to be sent to the Charity Commissioners. He had his report ready and if the Special Com- mittee were prepared they could go into the matter. No rent had been paid for a garden in the occupation of Mr. John Jones, White Lion.—Mr. Lewis Jones did not think the Council had any claim on the garden. When Mr. John Jones bought a. piece of land it was promised that the g(len should be included. He had something he could say, but thought it would be better not to say it. — The Mayor remarked that the Council could conso'e themselves with the fact that the property was once owped by the Council and but for the neglect of their prede- cessors the Council would still own the property.—Mr. Joshua Jenkins lemarked that Mr. Lewis Jones had said that he could say something which he would not say. He thought there should be no in- sinuations and the matter should be threshed out. He had not come to take the part of anyone, but if ther. was any- thing to be said the Council ought to hear it.—Mr. Lew^is Jones: I can say that whenever I like. I can please myself in that respect and I am not going to say it at your dictation.—Mr. Jenkins: I only cal'ed attention to what I thought was right.—Mr. Lewis Jones remarked that he had said as much as was required.— The Mayor: Can you prove that Mr Jones has held the garden undisturbed for twelve years?—Mr. Lewis Jones: WTe have lost our claim to it altogether.—-The matter then dropped. The Inspector. On the propositon of Mr D. F. Lloyd, seconded by Mr. J. Jenkins, the Inspector was reappointed. Public Lights. The Public Lights and Streets Com- mittee recommended that name-plates should be fixed on all long streets.that the saddlery work of the Council for the en- suning twelve months should be given to Mr Benjamin Jenkins, and that the coach- building work should be given to Messrs Davies and Jones. College-street. The report was adopted. = Fire Brigade. The report of the Fire Brigade Com- mittee, brought up by Mr. Timothy Rich- ards, recommended that Mr Tom Evans. Drovers'-road, should be appointed to fill one of the vacancies in the Brigade, and that the water should be turned off from one to four to enable the Inspector to make necessary repairs to the water valves. --The report was adopted. Markets and Fairs. The report of the Markets and Fairs Committee was brought up by Mr Charles Evans. The Committee recommended that an endeavour should be made to es- tablish monthly fairs and that a confer- ence of farmers and others should be called to consider the advisability of the matter.-This was agreed to. The Memorial Hall. The Memoriall Hall Committee re- ported that since the opening of the Hall two years ago the jn-oss receipts amounted to £ 162 5s. Id. (Hear, hear.) The fees for the use of the Hall were reduced in February, 1906. In the first ytear the fees amounted to E54 13s. lOd. and in the second year to 9107 lis. 3d. The expen- diture for cleaning, light, etc., for the two years amounted to B34 9s: Id.—The report was adopted. Finance Committee. The Finance Committee recommended that the Corporation workmen should be insured against accident.—On the pro- position of Mr Wm. Davies, seconded by Mr D. F. Lloyd, the Clerk was directed to write to different insurance compan- ies for terms. A Guide to Lampeter. In accordance with notice of motion, the Mayor proposed that the Council should offer an eisteddfod prize of j35 for a- guide to Lampeter.—Mr. Walter Davies: What do you mean by a guide to Lampeter ?—The Mayor I cannot go into Davies: What do you mean by a guide to Lampeter ?—The Mayor I cannot go into that at ten o'clock at night. If you like to joke I will join with you.—Mr Walter Davies: I did not mean to put it as a joke.—Mr Charles EVans seconded the proposition and it was agreed to. Alleged Encroachment. The Mayor drew attention to a path passing the side of the Memorial Hall owned by the Council, but which was used by residents in the neighbourhood. He thought something should be done to protect the Council's rights.—Mr. J. Jen, kins proposed that a charge of five shil- lings a. year should be made.—Mr D. F. VOJd seconded the proposition.—Mr Wm Davies (manciple) proposed that a gate should be fixed and locked once a year.— Mr David Davies seconded the proposi- tion.—Mr William Davies, saddler: I beg to move the adjournment of the house. (Laughter.)—Mr Charles Evans proposed that the matter should be left in abeyance.—Mr Timothy Richards sec- onded Mr Charles Evans's proposition.- On being put to the vote, the proposition to erect a gate was carried. Lights on Vehicles. On the proposition of the Mayor, sec- onded by Mr Lewis Jones, it was decided to adopt bylaws to carry light on vehicles passing through the town.
