Williams (chair- man), David Davies, Doithie (vice-chairman) John Owen, Caron Lower; R. D. Arch, Caron Upper; Rev. T. R. Davies, and Peter Davies, Llanddewi; Daniel Jenkins, Gwynfil; J. W.

Mr. R. D. Arch Wile re- appointed chairman of the Rural District. Coun- cil and Mr. Daniel Jenkins vice-chairman. The following were appointed members of the Assess- ment Committee :—Messrs. T. Evans (chair- man), A. Morgan, Thos. Edwards, Dd. Jen- kins, David Evans, D. D. Evans, Dd. Davies (Doithie), Peter Davies, John Lodwick, Evan Evans, Thomas Morgan, and D. J. Williams. The Rev. D. G. Davies was appointed chairman of the Finance Committee. Notifications were read from the Committee, Mentai Hospital, of the deaths at the institu- tion of John Jenkins and Benjamin Lewis. < The Clerk submitted estimates of receipts and expenditure for the ensuing half-year, and recommended a district rate of 9d. in the pound aa compared with 7d. in the correspond- ing half of last year.—Mr. R. Arch said he noticed that other boards were reducing the poor rate. Couid Tregaron not do the same?— The Chairman said he could tell the Guardians that they would find a big increase in the county rate.—On the proposition of Mr Evan Evans, seconded by Mr. John Owen, the esti- mates were adopted. The Rev. T. R. Davies said at the previous meeting he made a statement that doctors were supposed to attend free of charge the parish patients of doctors who had been called up for military service and the fees were to be made payable to the absent doctor. That statement was doubted at the time; but he now had black and white to prove it. Mr. Davies then read a letter stating that the surrounding prac- titioners had undertaken to carry on Dr. Davies's practice during his absence at the Front. That, of course, included attendance of parish patients. The terms on which t.he work was done were general throughout the country and were known to the medical men concerned. That letter meant, said Mr. Davies, that local doctors were supposed to attend to parish patients as well as panel patients of a doctor who was on military service. Mr. Davies said lie wrote a further letter to the Association asking to whom the fees should be paid and re- ceived the following reply:—"I have consulted my Committee who think that the Guardians should make their cheques payable to Dr. Davies. The practice was to devote all re- ceipts to the practitioner. This would do away with the idea that any medical man is working for nothing. The financial part of the matter was for Dr. Davies and his colleagues to arrange. Owing to the urgent necessity the local War Committee had been instructed within the past two days to find more doctors for France."—Dr. Lloyd said all he had agreed to do was to attend to Dr. Davies's panel patients and the money paid for that work had all beer. paid to Dr. Davies. He had not agreed to do anything else for Dr. Davies. They had. no right to accept the patients of a panel doctor while the latter was with the army. He had not signed to attend the parish patients and he wished the Guardians to understand that he did not intend doing so without payment.—The Rev. T. R. Davies asked Dr. Lloyd whether the letters he had read were correct ?—Dr. Lloyd: I am not a member of the Association and I am not bound by their decision.—The Rev T. R. Davies asked Dr. Lloyd whether he would be at liberty to tell people that he refused to attend Dr. Davies's parish patients?—Dr. Lloyd replied that he did not care as long as he was told the whole truth. He was prepared to attend Dr. Davies's parish patients if be was paid for it. He had done so for the past three months willingly and gratuitously.—Mr. Daniel Jenkins proposed and it was agreed that the fol- lowing be appointed to go into the matter.— Messrs Daniel Jenkins, Timothy Evans, D. J. Williams, J. W. Davies, J. Owen, the Rev. T. R. Davies, and D. Davies. A bill from the Food Control Committee re- specting rent of an office for the Executive Officer at Llanddewi Brefi created a lively dis- cussion.—Mr. Daniel Jenkins said the Guard- ians had provided a room for the officer at the Receiving Home.—After much deliberation it was decided to pay the bill.
