A her y stnvy t ii H 0 t r d of Guardians.

Morgan, Glan- fread; W. T. Lewis, Borth; with Hugh Hughes (clerk), E. Llewellill (assistant clerk), and W. Jones (master). Asylum Account. Amongst the accounts passed for payment was one of jE297 10s., being cost of mainten- ance of pauper lunatics at Carmarthen Asylum; the amount for the corresponding quarter of last year being £ 322 4s., a differ- ence of R24 13s. The Poor Rate. Mr. Edward Jones asked whether the Board's overdraft at the bank at the pre- sent time was £ 400.—The Assistant Clerk replied that the overdraft was only R19 12s. c 9d., and Mr. Felix, temporary poor rate col- d p n lector, had told him he would be paying in that day or the following day £ 850.—Mr. W. Thomas said he had spoken to Mr. Felix, and as far as he could gather, Mr. Felix was doing excellent work in a very short time.- Mr. Edwin Morris said as the present Board would shortly go out of office, and as it was they who appointed Mr. Felix, he thought they should decide the salary to be paid him. —After some discussion, Mr. Morris gave notice that he would move at the next meet- ing that the resolution already passed be rescinded, and that they pay Mr. Felix for the past quarter at the same rate as Mr. Attwood was paid. Homeless Children. A farm labourer from the Borth district had requested the Guardians to keep his two children at the Workhouse, inasmuch as thair mother was dead and lie had no home for them. The consent of the Local Gov- ernment, Board had been asked for, and in reply that authority assented for a period R07D exceeding six months to the proposal of the Guardians to grant relief to the person in question by maintaining two of his chil- dren in the Workhouse, be contributing at the rate of 8s a week for their mainten- ance. At the same time the Board was of opinion that before the expiration of the six months, the father should make ar- rangements for his children outside the Workhouse.—It was resolved that the father be informed that he must make arrangement» for the removal of the children before the expiration of the six months. Appointment of Overseers A letter was read from the Local Govern- ment Board stating that an Order had been made transferring to the Aberystwyth Town Council the power of appointing overseers. The appointments have nitherto been made by the magistrates. Master's Report. The Master reported that the number in the House was 50, as compared with 48 in the corresponding period of last year. Dur- ing the fortnight 47 vagrants were relieved, as compared with (iö, the number last year. Mr. R. C. Richtardes had sent a. number of rabbits for the inmates of the House, and Mr. E. P. Wynne had sent three pictures.— A vote of thanks to the donors was passed on the proposition of Mr. Edward Jones, seconded by Mr. Edwin Morris. The New Inspector. The Rer. N. Thomas said Mr. Hugh Wil- liams. the new Poor House inspector, who visited the House on the previous Friday, had made the following entry in the visitors' book:—Tho new sick ward for males, the receiving wards for men and women, to- gether with the baths and sanitary arrange- ments added to the male wards, have been completed, and are now in use. The classi- fication, in consequence, has bee-i much im- pioved. During my inspection of the Work- house I saw the inmates, al! of whom ap- pen red to be well-cared for. The dinner was well-cooked and properly serverl. The beds bedding, clothing. etc., very clean, and the store rooms were in good order. I found that all the inmates who were able to were employed in doing some "Work suitable to their abilities, and that the hoys and girls old enough attended school in the town.—The report was considered a very satisfactory one. and the Clerk stated Mr. Williams would attend an enrly meet- IIlg of the Board. Poor Law Amendment. A committee appointed to enquire into the matter, suggested that the following re- commendations be made to the Royal Com- mission appointed to enquire into the ad- ministration of the Poor Law:-(1) That the Guardians be empowered to compel the re- moval to the House of destitute paupers who live in m^an'tary conditions or who are un- able owing to old age or infirmity to take care of themselves, and have no one else to take charge of them (2)_ That illegiti- mate children be compelled, if of ability, to contribute towards the maintenance of their mothers in receipt of relief; (3) That the provisions of the Boarding Out Order (In

TLANDYSSUL County Council Elect i o,u.. -Very keen in- terest was taken in the County Council Election this time. The Rev. T. Arthur Thomas who championed the Liberal cause in the South Ward beat Mr. Chas. Lloyd, Waunil'or, the Conservative, by 12 votes. It is a curious fact that Mr. Chas. Lloyd's position was exactly what it was in 1898, when, as on this occasion, he polled 191 votes. Capt. Wm. Davies who formerly sat as Liberal for the South Ward left that to try conclusions with Mr Jenkin Jones, the Conservative candidate in the North Ward. The Captain lost, his opponent. se- curing a majority of 14 votes. Captain Davies' overthrow is attributed to the dis- turbing influences of the recent school dis- pute at St. David's. PETTY SESSIONS. The monthly Petty Sessions were held at Llandyssul on Wednesday last. The magis- trates present were Mr A II Jones (in the chair), Mr D J Lloyd, Col Newland and Capt J Stewart.

Unfenced Machinery. David Evans, fanner, Castell, Bangor Teify, was summoned for working a chaff- cutting machine by horse power and not then being sufficiently and securely fenced, at Castell, Bangor Teify, on February 16th. —The Bench did not take a serious view of the case, but impressed upon the defendant the necessity of hiaving his machinery pro- perly fenced in order to prevent accidents. —A fine of 6d. and costs was imposed. Wife Desertion. Thomas Thomas, farm servant, Pontfaen, Ciliau Aeron, was summoned by has wife Elizabeth Thomas. Maesyffynon Cottage, Llanfihangel Ystrad, for deserting her and applied for a separation order.—The Bench granted the separation order, defendant to pay 5s. per week maintenance and costs. Drunk. James Williams, mason, Mason-street, New Quay, was summoned for being drunk on the highway at New Quay on February ] Oth.- The Bench imposed a fine of 2s. 6d. including costs.

Deiiant Parishioners.—The Clerk (Mr. John Evans) read a letter from the Llan- j gianog Parish Council in which it was stated that they intended to test the validity of the nrecent of £ 6 1&. lOd. issued unon the Paris!' in reference to the water supply as the District Council had exceeded its rights.—Mr. John Jones said the Parish the District Council had exceeded its rights.—Mr. John Jones said the Parish Council based their objection on the ground that the Parish Council carried out the work which ought to have been done by the District Council.—The Clerk explained that ia July last the medical officer of health and the inspector reported that, the water supply at Pentre Arms was defective, and the work was carried out by the Council. The costs were charged against the Parish Council. The only irregularity in the matter was that the two officers did the work without a resolution being passe-d.-The Sanitary Inspector said he only carried out the in- structions of Dr. Powell.—Mr. J. Jones said that strict orders were received by the Par- ish Council from the District Council to open a gutter. The Parish Council did this and what they now complained of was the construction of a cistern.—The Inspector said that the reason why Dr. Powell took those steps was because he found the water polluted. He admitted that the Parish Council opened the gutter, but they only made things worse, and when Dr. Powell visited the place the water was not fit to drink, therefore it was incumbent upon the District to do it.—Mr. Thos. Davies, Bron- wion 'emarked that tho greatest danger in these matters was to accept too much in- dividual opinion. They should not rely upon the statement of an individual or else people would want water into their houses. This was a similar complaint to that at Glynarthen, when after being involved in heavy expenses the water was condemned. Thny must bear in mind that all the Llan- granog people were involved, and they should first see tint they all benefitted, and not one or two individuals as might be in this case. The rates were high and they ought to be cautious.—The Surveyor ex- plained that the spot where the spring was found was covered with quick-sand, ana was not filtered. That caused the heavy ex- pense. Mr. J. Jones: That was done by the i Parish Council.—Surveyor: Yes. Only the cistern and improvements with it was done by the District, Council.—Replying to Mr. John Jones, the clerk said they could insist upon the Parish to pay the precept.—It was resolved on the motion of Mr. J. Jones seconded by Mr. Powell that the precept be enforced. Ffynonfair Well. The Surveyor (Mr. 'rhos. Evans) conveyed the report of the committee appointed to in- spect Ffynonfair well, Llanranog. He said there was no doubt sufficient water to meet the requirements of the district, and it would be necessary to get a cistern to hold the water. He had not had time to make an estimate of the probable cost, as it would take much time to gauge the water, and it would be advisable to get expert opinion. He suggested that cast iron pipes be laid instead of earthen pipes. He would -not! like to do such work without doing a sub- stantial job, for it was not the same as the scheme at Glynarthen. This would cost hundreds of pounds.The, Clerk said that the great point insisted upon by the Local Government Board was to get repayment from the consumers. This was a public well and they could not prevent those who now obtained water from the well to get a sup- ply. That lessened the contribution, and was the only weak point in the matter. If they could devise some scheme to get those who now obtained their water from the well to contribute it would be a good plall.The Surveyor pointed out that the residents from College Green to Glandwr were against j the scheme.—Mr. John Jones said it was only a, small portion of the village that called for the supply, and it was not needed badly.—Mr. Ben Davies proposed that. the matter be left for two months to be further considered bv the new Council.—Mr. D. Davies seconded, and it was agreed to. Road Improvement. Mr. B. Davies, Blaenythan, as one of the deputation appointed to inspect the road be- tween Penlondywyll and Penralltygwiu in the Bettw& Evan par ish reported upon its state, and said it must be admitted that there were several dangerous spots. The deputa- tion recommended that the turning between Brongest and Beulah be improved by wideit- ing the re ad, whilst the Surveyor could' place his men to improve a little of another turning. It would be a good policy to widen the road for 20 yards, but they could not; recommend such a big job, as they would goon be out of office, and would not be justified in incurring heavy expenditure. He thought that the Surveyor was a little too lenient in that district, as some of the hedges seemed; as if they had not been trimmed for 40 years.-—Mr. D. Davies, Dolau, said that as his time as Councillor was about terminating, he would leave the matter as an election" cry" to some new member, so that he, like Mr. John Jones and Mr. Tljomas Davies might have some- thing to put before the public. He agreed with Mr. Ben Davies with regard to the hedges, the overgrowth of which seemed to be bending with age. He must say that the farmers in that district were not so f good agriculturists as those in his district and when accompanying the deputation on this visit he had come to the conclusion that the author of the phrase Y byd ar bettws lived in that part.—Mr. Davies, Bronwion, regretted that the committee was not able toO make further recommendations. The load was very narrow, and impossible for two vehicles to pass.^—Mr. Thos. Morris, Cefnmaesmawr, thought thi& matter was only an opening for other schemes. There were other roads far more important required attention.—On the motion of Mr. David Thomas, seconded by Mr. Powell, the report of the committee was adopted, and the recommendations ordered to be carried out provided the consent of the landlord could be obtained for widening the road. Preparing for Motor Traffic. The Clerk referring to the application made bv the Llanfiliangel-ar-Arth Parish Council with a view of petitioning the County Council to take over the road be- tween Llanfihangel-ar-Arth and New Quay, said it v.as necessary to point out reasons for so doing. He had formed a few, and they were" hecnuse it is a thoroughfare be- tween New Quay town and Llanfihangel-ar- Arth, i,l d because it was part of the road which connected New QUfiV, Talgarreg and Synod Inn.-On the suggestion of the Clerk it was agreed on the motion of Mr. B. Dav- ies, peconded by Mr. John Davies. the Clerk was directed to ask the Parish Council to formulate their reasons for the proposal. The Roads. The Surveyor (Mr. Edward Thomas) re- ported that the roads were in good condi- tion, and he intended to serve notices if the farmers did not prune their hedges.—The other Surveyor (Mr. Thos. Evans) boasted that the main roads were quite as good M any in the county. During the frosty weather a traction er-gine had greatly damaged the roads. On Wednesday last, Mr. Tobit Evans told him that a consul, a son-in-law of Mrs Sperling, who had motor- ed over numerous roads and the best was that between Gogerddan Arms and Cwmcoy. (Hear, hear). Financial. The Clerk replied that there was a. sum of £ 190 8s. Id. in the bank. All the precepts had been paid in except a few, viz., Pen- bryn, £ 77; Llanfair Treflvgen, £ 2, and Llangranog, t £ 22. The Next Meeting. The Council resolved to hold the next meeting on Thursday, l?8th inst, the same day at the Board meeting. Sanitation. The Sanitary Inspector (Mr. Bowen) in his report, complained that the main roads in Llandyssul presented a dirty appearance, and the attention of the County Surveyor should be drawn to them. The urinals at Coedvbryn school required attention. He had received notification "rom the medical officer of health of cases of scarlet fever &t hfostrasol, and the schools had been closed. The proposed improvement to the drain in Lloyd's-terrace had not been made. and also nothing had been done in Coedmore- lane, AdDar. J -IJ.-

The Ideal Spring Medicine. BILE BEANS SHOULD BE AT HAND IN EVERY HOME. After the rigours of Winter many people fall an easy prey to sickness in Spring. The stomach, liver, and bowels, having been overworked during the cold weather, now need a tonic-laxative like Bile Beans to put them in sound condition. Pimples, skin blotches, sickness, severe headaches, loss of appetite, and that feel- ing of utter weariness are hypical Spring ailments. Bile Beans are an indispensable Spring medicine because they exert a tonic influ- ence on the weary stomach, and promote the sluggish liver to natural action. Bile Beans have won great confidence by the positive fashion in which they banish Spring sickness and blood impurities, and restore health and strength to the weak and ailing.
