Municipal Mems.
Municipal Mems. — Dangerous Tramway Track. The attention .of the Traction Co.. has been called to .t)1e dangerous condition of the tramway track. In the Capel Newydd district-, in particular, the track is a positive menace to all traffic. The Roads Committee have decided to take over Pare Howard Avenue subject to the paving and road-making being completed to the satisfaction of the Borough Surveyor. I A Coal Inspector. The appointment of an Inspector to see that the prices and conditions relative to the retail sale of coal are observed in the town has been under consideration. In the end it was decided that the duties should be undertaken by Mr D Henshaw, one of the water inspectors,, who is armed with full authority to take proceedings in any case of contravention of the I Orders. I Building Statistics. An eloquent commentary upon the effect of war on the building trade is provided by a return submitted by the Surveyor. According iro this, last year only 9 certificates of completion were, granted locally as compared with 283 > in 1913. The three years 1915-16-17 givo a total of only 160 new houses, or 73 less than in the one year before the war. As compared with the three years 1911-12-1# I;; ? shortage in the bEt thr&> years of 420 houses. Waste Paper. It is. satisfactory to know that the waste paper collections in the town are steadily increasing, the average &ow be- ing over a ton a week. There is no reason, however, with a proper system, why this amount should not be still further increased. In othe* municipali- ties a substantial sum is secured by re- gular organized collections. Infant I Welfare Centre. The Estates Committee have concluded an arrangement by which the vacant shop in Vaughan street adjoining the present centre be taken over fcr Infant Welfare | wprk.' It had been. suggested that room in thie Nevill Memorial should bo utilised for this purpose, but upon ex- a win n tion, it was found to be -cn- suitable, The rental of the shop will be £40 half of which will be repaid b.he ,L40, hal i of ii-hich wi.Il be repaid biole Market Revenue. I In spite of the shortage of supplies, the market revenue is well maintained. In tho period between Novembftv ath and December 31st, the tolls collect? 1 amcunte? 'to £536 1l, 5Q, The highest ?ay's total was on December 24th, when ?? 3s. was collected. I Seed Potatoes, i An mtei-esting report has been pre- pj.rod by Mr. Montgomery in referent to the supply of seed potatoes. It was expected that about 26 tons, would be re- quired for Corjioration allotment holders and an -additional 6 tons for the general I public. It cannot be too widely known that Llanelly is included among the areas where only immune varieties can be grown. I Bryn Chemical Works. It, has been reported to the Estates Committee that Mr. Clifford Bowen,'iron merchant, proposed taking over the lease of the Bryn Chemical Works in connec- tion with his business. The Committee offered no objection, subject to Mr. Bowen submitting a plan of the proposed -works for the approval-of the Corpor- ation.

I 1 Honours for War Workers

A long Empire Honours list was pub- Llished this week and included in it are the names of four well-known Llaneily- ites, appointed to the Order of the British Empire. Precedence at the outset will be accorded to this Order by reason of one name that appears at its head- Queen Alexandra being created a Dame Grand Cross.

Mr. David Phillips-Member of the Order I D. J. THOMAS. I It may .without exaggeration be owimed that no Officer of the New Order bes,e.arned his distinction more thorough- r ly than Mr. D. J. Thomas, manager and secretary of the Llanelly National Shell I'actory. He has rendered notable service to the Empire in his responsible capacity as head of what is admitted to be one of A4e moist efficient and. best-managed national factories in the country. It will lie remembered, that in the earlier days of the war, the late Mr. Beaumont Thomas placed the Burry Extension YvTorks at the disposal of the Government sad. it was decided to establish a shell law&dry £ kei$. With unerring instinct, the late Mr. Thomas nominated 1& D. J. Thomas, who was at that time in the ssrvice of his Company at the Steel Works, to be manager of the new factory. rJ,'iI.$ appointment wa.s a singularly felicit- ioas one. Thanks to liis organizing ability the works was quickly trans- formed, and is to-day regarded as a model of its kind. So successfully has it been carried on that the Government some months ago decided to add a Jlec-ti- fication Factory, and this is to-day, like xne S^ell Factory, yielding splendid re- sults. .U 1 ? ,.I ?' i+ WYNN HAROLD TREGONING, ] -i 1 1. jlr.

■ ■' a—a——— ????.????J???J??tai.?? ? T:;ûë:« I I a I I.-MR. MERCHANTMAN. j i On a bright Saturday afternoon a number of interested folk stood upon the breakwater, admiring as it lay upon the gently heaving waters I one of His Majesty's Motor Launches, a dapper little white ship glistening in the sunlight Two gentlemen were engaged in animated conversation with a member of her crew, a rosy cheeked youngster who was ex- plaining vaguely the uses of his craft, and enlightening them as to disciplinary matters affecting His Majesty's Navy. Following the two, civics homeward, I overheard scraps of their loud and elo- quent appreciation of the sailor lads who man the great Sentinels of England on the sea. "Yes," said one, "they are the finest fellows in the world, nothing like the uncouth so-called sailors of our mer- chant tramp ships." I heard no more, but I deprecated' this slur upon the Sister Cinderella Service—the British Merchant Service. Later in the evening, rolling up from the direction of the Docks I espied a typical first- oiffcer of a tramp steamer, resplendent in a blue serge tight fitting suit. Entering a tobacconist shop imme- diately after him I saw him hold Olt for the lady assistant's inspection an old black vaad tarry pipe with the stem bitten j through. "I \van? a pipe with a hard vulcanite stem please miss, he said. Hanging on the wall was a large map, and ?s he espied it, he turned to me and said: "Say old man, from all those. red colonies of ours our boys have been bringing horses, ammunition and food. What do you think of this, and he drew ¡ from the depths^of. a voluminous pocket- book a grimy piece of paper—The old I man nailed it over the mantlepiece in our cabin to keep our spirits up." It was a newspaper cutting, a verse of poetry written by one Colin Smith, the chief | steward of a transport, and this is what I rei-,I:- While your "Johnny Tar" is busy hold- ing Billy's fleet at bay, In the metaphoric sunshine, be it said, "Mr. Merchantman" is toiling making metaphoric hay, j. And he's working so that Britons mav ATi ?cl lie' r, sc) tlaat B?,,itor? S M?LI-A In his twenty thousand tenners, in his cockle shells and tanks, Or in aught a trifle larger than a tub, Fully laden to the Plimsoll, he is worthy of your thanks Who supplies the Mother Country with her grub. ) I handed the fragment back to him, lut its meaning has burnt deeply into my mind, and I took off my hat to Ifr Merchantman as he rolled off into the evening mist whistling gaily. 2.-CONTRASTS. It was a cold but sunny morning, antP the air was fresh and invigorating as we- hurried to catch the early morning train.. Life was very sweet after the restfulnesa ot night's sleep. Walking stationwards we exchanged greetings with a crowd of laughing, chatting munition workers hurrving homewards* after a hard night's work at the neighbouring Shell Factory. Amongst them I espied 18. smai-t p-olice- man who had earned his home position after active service on the great adven- ture, a metal badge pinned on his uni- form proclaiming the fact, a quiet little nurse, a quartet of stalwart women police all surrounded by a great battalion of workers, men and women, young and qjd. They. were a particularly eheei-ful crowd who awakened the quiet street with shrill peals of laughter or bursts of chorus fspm "The long, long trail," or "When the boys come home." We were soon envel- oped in what hypercritical people would term a rowdy throng. Our great Premier I had stated that the blinds 'of Britain must not be pulled down, and they wgre I taking him at his word that was all. But what a welcome they will give the feoys when they do come home. At the Railway station before sl war- I riage door of the waiting train ptooi a father and mother in deepest mourning, bidding God-speed to a soldier son of? to the great grey battlefield in France. An- other son was being offered on the altar of duty. Tears coursed down the mother's I, face, the father's head was turned away. The guard waved a green flag and blew I his whistle, and witha 'Cheero old dears* another lad left iome to join his com- rades in the great a dventure, and two lonely folks walked hemewr.res ü} the wake of a happy singing crowd.
