THE TWYNFFALD GARDEN CITY. COUNCIL'S HOUSES. The Bedwellty Urban Council, at their meeting on Tuesday, Mr S. Godwin, in the chair, considered a report from their sur- veyor (Mr Dan H. Price) upon an interview which he had had with Mr Beddoe Rees,in accordance with the Council's instructions. Mr Beddoe Rees had stated that the houses would be completed at the end of April, if the railings are delivered in time, and the weather permits.—Mr R. J. Jones a^ked why there should be a delay.—A member: Due to an act of God.—Mr R. J Jones I am afraid that He is blamed for many things that He is not responsible for.—Mr L. Watkins asked whether a Clerk of Works should be appointed, to go through the whole of the buildings before finally ac- cepting these houses. Mr J. Crew said one hundred and one people were making complaints about the houses, and it was generally stated that no longer were people in them than they moved out again.-Mr L. Watkins said he should like for a state- ment of that kind to be withdrawn, be- cause he had heard similar things.—Mr J. Crew said that during the four years he had been on the Council he did not think anyone could attribute to him that he had made a false statement.—Mr J. Tyrer (the collector) in answer to the Clerk, said there had been only three changes in tenancy since the houses were occupied.—Mr L. Watkins It is damaging to our own pro- perty that stat.ments ot this kind should be allowed to go.—Asked to explain further, Mr J. Crew said that he claimed the accuracy of every statement he had made. He had heard these complaints, and more too.—Mr L. Watkins said he, too. had heard a general statement made, which was disparaging to the Council's property. If the houses were defective they must get a remedy, and thus prevent people going in and out of the houses, but the fact that there had been only three changes with the thirty houses, he considered the Council had in reality been fortunate.—Mr W. Bufton agreed thatthere should be a proper inspection of the houses before they were taken over from the contractor.—M r D. Jones agreed that the houses should be completed according to the specification.— Mr W. Bufton said he thought it would be better to appoint the surveyor to inspect the houses. He was likely to be with them for many years to come, whereas an out- sider would not.—Mr J. Coleman thought the surveyor had already too much work to do.—Finally, on a vote, it was decided that the surveyor, with Mr Beddoe Rees, should inspect and pass the property,
