Tt<e Oerk read a circular From Mr ADchin, Charity Commission, stating- that the Charity Commissioners for Engtand and Wales had in- structed their Assi&tant Commissioner, Mr T Marchant Williams, barristcr-at-law, to hold an Inquiry into the charities in the parish of Danid- !oe8. The ctiaritiea in that parish which were a< present known to the Commissioners were the following: DaviJ Doyd, Catherine Hoyd, Evan Gfynne, Jenkin Bowen, John Grinitbs. Site of Danidloes Nationa) Scboo), site of Danidloes Intermediate SchooL The circular stated that Mr WiHiams would open the inquiry in February. The object of the Inquiry was to obtain the moat com- ptete and recent information aa to the present va)ue, condition, and administration of all endowments in the parish subject to the provisions of the Charitabte Trusts Ada.—Alderman Ashton said a footing prevailed in certain quarters that theRe charities were not property administered according to the terms of the donors. Whether that was correct he did not know. He proposed that a committee shoutd be appointed to go fatty into the matter and bring aH the evidence they could before the Charity Commissioners so that the charities coatd be placed upon a proper footing. —CounciUor George seconded the motion which w&a catried. The following eon.mittee was appointed, Messrs W. Asbton, W. George, Daniel Davies, Ed. Bowen and the Mayor. THE HORSE FAUtS. Councilor Daniel Davies said an eSort had been made to establish extra fairs for horses, live atock, &c., and the Council ought to pay particular atten- tion to the forthcoming horse fair. This fair had not hitherto been a success, and something more would have to be done, in fact an extraordi- nary effort would be necessary on the part of the Council and att concerned. Dpaters would have to be communicated with, and farmers should be given a degree of confidence that they could ob- tain the best prices for their horses if they brought them to the Ltanidloes fa.r. The Council of course woutd have to vote money in order to accomplish this for with Hmited means no great headway could be made.-A.lderman Aahton deplored the fact that previous fairs had produced unsatisfac- tory results, and that farmers were taking their horses el.,ewhere to be aotd. He did not think the farmers did their part thoroughly. — Coun- ciHor E. Hamer agreed that it was hih time that something was done to revise the Hanidtoes hor'-e fair. He knew of cases, Frank Lloyd's sales for instance, whete money prizes were offend to buyers and neUers with satis- factory resutts, and be thought they might adopt this p!an on a ama)I sca!e. He had been to)d by farmers that one of the causes why the fair was not successful was that the fair was held rather late. The farmers sotd their best horaes in February before the March ploughing and did not afterwards Mil tit) they had finished ploughing and sowing.—Councillor Rees Can we use the ratepayers'money for the purpose snggeste<i?— The Mayor: No, I don't think we can. We can Bpt'nd money in a,dvertiEing, bnt not in prizes.- Aiderman Ashton did not tike the principle of prize Hiving. Ittooclosety resembled bribing.— Eventua!)y the matter was referred to the Market and Fairs Committee. SCAVKXG!XG COMMITTEE'S REPORT. Alderman Asbtoa read the report of the Scaven- ging Committee and pointed out that with the exception of a very few p)aces the town had been .considerably improved during the ast year or two. There were macy places which required attention and a!so ptacps where it had been inadvisable to Ltv out much expense on account of the breaking up of r'e streets for the waterworks. The report retired to the unsatisfactory state of the town manure heap, and after some discussion an arrange ment was made for the future deposit of the town manure in the <ie!d adjoining the river belonging to Cou'.ciHor E. Hamf'r. THE MILL ROAD. The Council decided not to repair the mil) road it being considered a private road. THE OLD MARKET HALL LAMPS. The Lighting Committee recommended that for 'the gas consumed by the two lamps on the o)d Market Ma)! the Gas Company be paid JE5pe:' )amp per year', the lighting and putting Qut of the two !amp9 ;€3 12s in addition. It was also suErge-tcd by the Gas Company and aporoved by the Lighting Committee"That it is desirable to go ir.to the matter of the charge for gas for the street tnmps. As the contract has been in existence for ov< r 20 years the Committee fe)t that it was time matters rp, re.adju,terl.Aldermau Bowen said the electric light would be adopted before they won)d revise the gas contract (laughter).—Councilor Daniel Dav!es proposed the adoption of the report. — Councillor Grant It seems to me that the JE15 we are paying for these two tamps would soon buy the Market.Hat! (laughter).—CounciHor Grant seconded the report, which was carried.—Councii- lor Daviea suggested that considerable saving might be effected if the lamps were not tit, during the months of May, June, J"]y, and August.
