w?- SWANSEAS SOUTH-EAST GATE. COUNCIL AND TENNANT BRIDGE OWNER. REFUSAL TO PAY PART REPAIR COST. At the Swansea Highways Committee on luesday. Aid. Merreils tithairman) presid- ing, the Surveyor (Mr. Heath) reported upon the Tennant Canal bridge question. The unsafe condition of the bridge had led to a suggestion of a new arterial road to the south side of the English Crown Spelter Work;1. but as this was not feasible the re- pair of the bridge was decided upon. To strengthen the bridge" the Surveyor es- timated the coat at £ 80. Three of the parties concerned, the Corporation, the English Crown Spelter Company, and Lord Jersey, offered to contribute £ 60, but Mrs. Tennant, the owner, declined to pay tbe other R20. The arch cf the bridge, added the Surveyor, was gradually wearing away. and if the bridge collapsed, the traffic using the road would be seriously inconvenienced, as it was the only way but of the borough to the south-east. The Chairman explained that when he saw the Crown Spelter people the directors readily agreed to bear part of the cost. It was only a question of time for the whole bridge to collapse unless it was repaired, as the roadway was already down to the keystone of Ithe arch. If it did collapse then there would be no means of access to the English Crown Spelter, Baldwin's, and other works. The committee thought that having gone so far as to relieve Mrs. Ten- nant of her moral and legal obligation to bear the whole of the expense she would not object to bearing a fourth of the cost. Read the letter received. Mr. Heath, from Mr. Coombe Tennant," said the chairman. as he is evidently tike the ostrich burying his head ill the sand. He has evidently not heard of a revolution in RttsHia. as he sug-, gests such things as are calculated to cause revolutions in this country." Mr. Tennant's Letter. i.iie letter m question, whiph was signed by Mr. Charles Coombe Tennant and written from the Tennaut Canal Navigation Office?, Neath, said" Dear Sir,—1 have now care- fully considered the question of the bridge over the canal near the English Crown Speller Works ^t Port Tennant. and I am prepared to advise Mrs. Tennant to agree to liresuggestion made by you at your interview with Mr. Harrif;, that yonr COTlJoration shall be permitted to repair the surface cf the road across the bridge. It must be cleariv understood, however, as foUov-s: (1) Mrs. Tennant is the owner of the bridge; (2) the repairs must be repairs to surface only and shall not create any present or future right in lav nir of those epairing it or in favour of the public which iiiey do not at present possess or xnevent Mrs. Tennant lowering, rai-ing, or altering the bridge at her will and pleasure at any time hereafter In regard to the suggestion made by you to Mr. that Mrs. Tennant should con- tributp to the expense, I bell to inform you that Mrs. Tennant is not prepared to do this. I 3hall be glad to hear if these con- ditions suit vonr Corporation, and. if 50. that thev will enter into whatever document is nec^ssarv to cy ry out the conditions, such document to be prepared by Mrs. Ten- nant's solicitors at the Corporation's ex- nense. The Town Cierk reported on tii- mattev, and it was resolved to press for the repair of the bridge, and -it the same time to re- ceive reoo'-t as to the puliic right-of-way over TÍle lwirl¡¡;e.,

LLANitlrS PER- SISTENCE. SEPARATE PENSIONS SCHEME SUCCESS. EFFORTS OF MAYOR AND TOWN CLERK. ( i At Liauell.v Council on Tuesday, the Mayor j (Aid. D. James Davies) said he was pleased to state that Llanelly had been granted its Local Committee under the Military and Naval War Pensions Act. (Hear, hear.) It had, said the Mayor, been a very strenuous fight. A. a Council they organised an agita- tion amongst the di^iffected boroughs throughout the country, and their town clerk (Mr. H. W. Spowart) acted as secretary, while he (the Mayor) had the honour of being the deputy chairman to Sir Norval Helme at the conferences held in Londoii. The disaffected boroughs co-operated with them, and they complimentell the town clerk 011 the war in which he discharged his duties. Under, tha Act towns with a popula- tion of less than 50,000 could be granted a Local Committee, but it was vitiated by a, clause which laid it down that the Pension-3 Minister must consult the Countv Council. That is the reason," said the Mayor, why we in Llanelly have been so long in I yetting om Local Committee. The County Council opposed us to: the last ditch." The Town Clerk submitted a draft scheme —that the Local Committee should comprise 71 pi embers, allocated as '("OWSI- LA t)o-ti T" I 4; Soldiers' and Sailors' Familes Association 2: Soldiers' and Sailors' Help Society, 1; «.nd the Council 15 It was decided to approve of the draft scheme, subject to two member* being allocate.^ to. tho "Silver Bit Bad™ League (Aid.

BEER PROFITEERING. APPEALS TO THE FOOD CONTROLLER. Appeals have la., foreshadowed in the "Post' on Tuesday) been made to the Liquor Control Beard and the Food Control- I let* to fix the pric-o of beer in order to stop the piofiteering which is being practised in some quarters.. A partner in Messrs-. Watney, Coombe, and Iteid cud Co. has stated that Government beer was one lof the triumphs of the war." but some publicans refuse to serve it in their salcon bars, where a charge of 5d. and sometimes even 6d. is made for a glass of | Vbitter," which is hot morn than a third oi ¡1. pint, and often this beer is little if any stronger than the Government beer for which the.

Regarding the. above, in convei satiou mitii a Daily Post" represents'.iye on "S\ edftesday, SIr. Frank Üage, the we' -j kiicwn Swansea wholesaler, said that hi j a uteat measure the "extreme shortage'' j in London was due to profiteering. H.\ 1 thought that a shortage in Swansea inevitable, but that did not meau theiv rtfuild be a famine. The {niles. in SWap- sea at present were lower than in th.' Metropolis, although whether they wouk continue to be so was questionable. "If it ever came to a serious pass— and that contingency was unlikely—the manufacturers could import almost un- limited quantities from Norway, which- country made an immense amount. ) As lor shortage in Swansea, tiie'/e' r' ight have been a small supply at time-. but a man can go into any shop and b; sure of obtaining a match of sonic kind.' -L ■

The West Wales Mining Tribunal sat at Swansea on Monday, Colonel Pearson in the chair, supported by Captain Harold Wil- liams, military representative. One claim was in respect of a young 3man who had been out of colliery work for three years. The Court held it had no jurisdiction to deal with it. The Chairman in another -3ase said he ha-d no authority to exempt a lead miner, but if the man had been an ironstone worker he could have dealt with him. At the same time bo allowed the applicant to appeal to the Home Office on the point.

WELSH COLLEGE CHARTERS. Principal Griffiths and Technical Education.  At the Celtic Conference at Birkenhead on Tuesday, Principal Griffiths dealt, with the progress of technical education in South Wales, and said that Glamorgan spenii £ 25,000 a year out of the rates and C6,800 in grants on technological education, and there were 25,000 students in the evening schools. The coalowners, too, had spent £ 40,000 on their mining school, and great work was being done in the Technical Col- leges of Cardiff. Swansea, and Newport. Having outlined a scheme presented to the Royal Commission by a committee of busi- ness meii in South Wales, Principal Grif- fiths said that no such scheme was possible without certain alterations, of the charters of both- Uiiiversitv and Colleges. Hitherto, in Wales, a great gulf seemed to have existed between educational and indus- trial interests, and in consequence both in- terests had suffered. There was now a pos- sibility of uniting all sections of the commun- ity in common action to both quicken in- tellectual effort a.nd to promote the material prosperity of our country. (Applause.)
