NATIONAL --FINANCES. I
NATIONAL FINANCES. I Thoughtful people who take any interest m national finances cannot but feel disturbed as to the present rate of expenditure. For five years we have been spending vastly in excess of our national revenue and been making serious in- roads on our credit. It was inevitable in war time, but here we are, 12. months after the armistice, and there seems no prospect in the near future of our national expenditure being reduced to such an extent as to enable urt6 pay our way without sinking further into debt. The deficit this year will be £ 473,000,000—a staggering figure-and no less than 1223,000,000 more than was estimated. When things get back to normal "-and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has no idea when that will be-it is estimated that our national expenditure will be £ 808,000,000, compared with £ 205,000,000 before the war, and that shows a deficit, at the present rate of revenue, of two millions. In the normal year the total interest and sinking fund on debt is estímate to be £ 360,000,000. We shall thus, in the most favourable circumstances, have to pay 75 per cent. more than our total pre-war revenue in interest and repayments, on which huge outlay there will be no return. But if we continue to spend indefinitely so much more than we receive, the position will surely be much worse. The Chancellor of the Exchequer is optimistic enough to believe that there will be no need for new taxation this year. That is obviously a too optimistic view, unless there is a real intention to drastically curtail expenditure, of which there is no sign at present. No business firm could continue for long to allow liabilities to exceed assets, as we are doing. The govern- mental mind has acquired the spending habit during the war and there is not that check on national expenditure which is necessary to all business concerns. The House of Commons is supposed to exercise some sort of control, but it has never exercised that control effectively, and, judging by the discussion in the House of Com- mons last week, there is scarcely a member who has that intimate knowledge of national finances that should be a qualification of men who hold such a responsible position. Against the in- creased peace time expenditure in pensions, higher pay and social reform we should be able by now to set a much more than compensating reduction in the cost of all the paraphernalia of war and administration. We must cut our coat according to our cloth and our balance sheet must balance. It is the only way to assure real prosperity to this country and to open up a better prospect to the people who are struggling for existence.
IBOROUGH THEATRE ATTRACTIONSI…
BOROUGH THEATRE ATTRACTIONS I "THE SUNBEAMS." On Monday and Tuesday next a visit will be paid to the Borough Theatre by Mr. Carl Fred- rick's Sunbeams," who are touring some of the principal towns. Mr. Carl Fredricks has a reputation in the entertainment world and Aber- gavenny people have pleasing recollections of his pantomimes. The Sunbeams are first-rate entertainers, both individually and collectively, and they give a bright and pleasing entertain- ment which should appeal to local audiences. Their visit is for two nights only, and seeing that the prices are very moderate there should be a large audience on each occasion to bask in the sunshine of their mirth and melody. "THE MAN FROM TORONTO." For considerably over a year this charming comedy, which will be presented -at the Borough Theatre on Wednesday next, has been the greatest attraction in London. Day after day, week after week, and month after month, even during a critical period when some of the big West-End theatres were practically empty, did The Man from Toronto "-which was so aptly described by a Royal Princess as The sweetest laugh in London "—draw vast rumbers of theatre-goers, so that at nearly every per- formance the house full boards had to be exhibited. Royalty, society people, cabinet -ministers, church dignitaries—indeed, people of all walks of life flocked to the Duke of York's Theatre, and all left with a huge smile and with happy recollections of a beautiful play, well written and well acted. The Man from Toronto is a play which has had few, if any, equals in the whole history of the comedy stage. At least, such is the opinion of all the great critics whose names are almost household Words. Mr. Robert Courtneidge has done some very fine things in the world of comedy. His name has long been synonymous with all that is best in connection with the theatre but in pro- ducing The Man from Toronto he has ex- celled himself, and for next week he has given us a magnificent cast of popular actors and actresses. -+-

SUGAR LOAF MUSINGS.
SUGAR LOAF MUSINGS. By GOBANNIUM. A local wag has been telling people this week that the Grofield Ward has been struck blind. Asked how that came about, his reply was, Because they have lost their I-ball! Prob- ably Mr. Iball's supporters, if they had been acting in the capacity of umpire, would have cried No ball." There was some speculation as to what would happen in the Grofield Ward, and since the election there has been some speculation as to what would have happened under other cir- cumstances. There is no question that had Mr. Wibberley not entered the lists, Mr. Iball would have been elected by a respectable majority. As it was, there is evidence that with a little more organisation in bringing up voters to poll he could have won. On the other hand, if it had been a straight fight between either Mr. Owers or Mr. Matthews and Mr. Iball, the result would not necessarily have been a victory for the latter. Assuming that either Mr. Owers or Mr. Matthews got the total votes given for both, which is probable, and that Mr. Iball were given the majority of the votes cast for Mr. Wibberley, it would have been a close contest. In any case it is clear that in a straight fight the Grofield is a railwaymen's ward. The outstanding feature of the municipal elections was the utter defeat of the official nominees of the Trades and Labour Council. In the Grofield Ward the official candidate was beaten by both the unofficial Labour aspirants. One may expect that when a Labour candidate comes forward in the future he will say to the Trades and Labour Council and Labour Party, For goodness sake, if you love me, don't recognise me officially, or you'll spoil my chance." In regard to polling, the Cantref Ward showed up the best, for out of 610 electors 441, or about three quarters, went to the poll. The Grofield was next with 760 out of 1117, or about two- thirds, while in the Priory Ward only about half the electors polled—567 out of 1029. Still, considering that a large proportion of the electorate consists of ladies who have got beyond the days of writing down X's, the total poII was fairly good. Some of the canvassers were rather handi- capped when relying on the voting lists in their canvass of the fair sex. These lists do not give capped when relying on the voting lists in their canvass of the fair sex. These lists do not give any indication as to whether the ladies belong to the married or single state. It required some tact and discrimination, for you cannot tell by looking at a lady or by counting her teeth whether she is troubled with a husband or whether she has abandoned hope. To address a lady as Mrs." when she was only Miss might be regarded as tantalising, while to speak to a Mrs." as a Miss might be resented as an insinuation that she had been unable to click," though it might be taken as a compli- ment in the sense that the lady looked younger than she really was. Again, to address the lady by her Christian name would be resented as being too familiar. What was a poor canvasser to do ? Well, the election excitement is all over. And now for the millennium Councillor Rosser has congratulated the Streets Committee on growing a record crop of 163 bushels of wheat on three acres, and has remarked that if similar municipal enterprise is exhibited in other directions we shall be free of rates. What a glorious prospect If only the Council would go in for farming on a big scale, we might not only all be relieved of rates, but be given a trip to Blackpool, with £ 1 in our pocket to spend. It may be argued that they don't know sufficient about farming operations, but we have our own Plowman, we have seen Councillors very good at hedging," they have on occasion given us some harrowing ex- periences, and we know what adepts the Council were in the past at milking the Gas Works. It will be good news to ratepayers to learn that there is a balance in hand of £ 180 of the 4d. rate levied for Peace celebrations, and that this will probably be taken into the borough fund and so be of assistance to the rates, as it should be. It is startling to find that more than a quarter of the total expenditure was swallowed up in the cost of the programmes. True, they will no doubt prove an interesting souvenir of the occasion in years to come. They remain as a permanent record when the ephemeral jollifi- cations of the occasion are forgotten. We might have spent more on the stomach, and posterity therefore ought to think a good deal of us for curtailing our own gratification and spending so much for their benefit. The Horse Show is going ahead. Already three cups, one of them of the value of 50 guineas, have been promised for next year, and there are prospects of other offers to add to the attractiveness of the prize list. The Bath and West will have to look to its laurels Councillor Tong is not greedy. Whether there will be blame or credit due to the Housing Com- mittee for the way in which it carries out its duties remains to be seen, but, whichever it is, he dos noet want a small committee to have a monopoly of it. So he proposes that the whole Council should constitute the Housing Com- mittee, and take their share. It may save a lot of squabbling, but it won't give the people who want houses gd. for 4d. +

THE VICAR'S DENIAL.
THE VICAR'S DENIAL. To the Editor. DEAR SIR,-It is reported in the Western Mail for to-day's date that I had previously been fined for ponies straying on the road. I was never fined for ponies until yesterday, and I have already appealed to a higher court against their verdict. All I wish you to know was that the above was untrue. Yours faithfully, W. D. JONES, Vicar of Llanellen, Nr. Abergavenny. Nov. 6, 1919. 4.
COUNCILLOR GRAHAM'S NEW LOVE.j…
COUNCILLOR GRAHAM'S NEW LOVE. • To the Editor. DEAR SIR,-Is there another move to lay out more money on our Town Hall ? In a recent issue of the Chronicle I read that Councillor Graham laid before the members of the Study Circle-the first to be honoured with the secret— his scheme for improving the Town Hall Build- ings, which, I am told, must have taken up a lot of his valuable time in preparing. We were told by Councillor Graham a little while ago that all he remained on the Council for was to see the Housing Scheme through successfully, and I am one of those who were satisfied that this matter at any rate was in good hands. Therefore, to find that he is dabbling with another scheme before seeing through the one that was hitherto dearest to his heart looks like deserting the old love for a new. Come, come, Councillor Graham, don't let us down like this stick to your job and see it through, and let us have those houses. The Town Hall can wait. Yours truly, HOUSE HUNTER.

ABERGAVENNY POLICE COURT.
ABERGAVENNY POLICE COURT. I Wednesday—Before Mr. W. H. Routledge (in the chair), Col. W. Williams, Mr. Edwin Foster and Mr. Robert Johnson. I The Vicar's Pony. The Rev. W. D. Jones, Vicar of Ltanellen, was summoned for allowing his pony to stray on the Llanellen road, on the 31st ult. P.-C. Ayland said that he found the pony on the road, and left it on some spare land while he went to the Vicarage, where he told the house- keeper, Mrs. Green, that the Vicar would be re- ported. Witness had previously received com- plaints and had cautioned the Vicar. Defendant had sent a letter to the effect that someone had opened the gate and let the pony out. P.-C. Ayland said that all the gates were closed, with the exception of the gate of the churchyard, where the pony had been grazing. Mrs. Green It was in the front meadow. The Chairman said that it was a narrow lane, and if a motor-car had come along it might have run into the pony and have caused a serious accident. Defendant had been cautioned on eight occasions and had been fined twice for similar offences, and he would now be fined £ 1. I All About a Bath. Emily Cooper, married woman, of Govilon, was summoned for assaulting Elizabeth Jane Williams, married woman, of Govilon, and her daughter Irene, on the 28th ult. There was a cross-summons against complainant. Complainant, who lives at the Tumble, said that she sent her little girl to fetch a bath her husband put on the path, and defendant's little girl caught hold of it. Witness told her to put it down, and she did so, but her mother sent her back after the bath. Witness sent her little girl after it, and defendant hit her twice on the bridge coming towards witness's house, and she hit her again before witness could get to her. When witness came up defendant caught hold of her hair, pulled her on the ground, beat her and kicked her. Witness ripped her blouse in the struggle and defendant hit her again and said I have had it in for you this long time." The Chairman What was it all about ?— Only about this little bath tin. It was no good to anyone. Mr. Foster Was it your property ?-It was no one's. It was on the hill, and my husband brought it to put a bit of coal in. Irene Williams, daughter of complainant, said defendant knocked her twice on the bridge and pulled her mother down and beat her and kicked her. Defendant said that her little girl picked up the bath on the way from school. It had been in the gutter some time and did not belong to anyone. The child told her that Mrs. Williams called her names and told her to put it down, and witness told lief to fetch-it for her to see. Witness tfollowed and Rene Williams had possession of the bath. Witness said, Let me see it," and bent to pick it up, when .complainant caught hold of her by the hair, and all witness did w*s to defend herself. The Chairman It is not often that people quarrel about a bath. They are generally not keen on them. Is there any chance of living peaceably together again ? Defendant She is always calling my husband names. Bind her over to keep the peace. Complainant It is she who is on all the while. The Chairman Don't speak to her for 12 months. Defendant I hope it will be 12 years. Complainant I hope it will be 20. The Chairman Well, shake hands. Complainant No, indeed, never. Defendant No, thank you. The Chairman That is not the way to start to be peaceable neighbours. If there is the least trouble again you will have to find sureties to be of good behaviour. We dismiss the cases. Go away and have a cup of tea. (Laughter). Worse Than Mons. I Thomas Irons, labourer, was summoned by Samuel Jones, labourer, for assault. Both live in Lewis's-lane and are ex-service men. Mr. J. R. Jacob appeared for the defendant. Defendant said that on the 22nd he was sitting down in his house and he was having a few words with his wife about the children. Defendant came round the corner and said Hello, Jones, you be shouting again, be you ?" I will come in there and job you." Witness went to the door and said to the defendant, This is the second time you have come to my house. It would be better if you went and looked after your own." Defendant made one spring, pulled him over the board fixed in the doorway, threw him into the house again on his back. De- fendant went to get a sweeping brush to defend himself, and defendant came into his house, and his wife had to run for the police. Defendant did something to his right elbow with a sharp instrument, and witness did not remember much more for some time. The Magistrates' Clerk Did you see him use any instrument ?—No, he was on top of me and pulled me all over the house and knocked the legs out of the chairs. I have been through 'the six biggest battles from Mons to La Bassee, and I never had what I have got now. Complainant, who had his arm in a sling, pro- duced a medical certificate to the effect that he was suffering from a wound on the right elbow opening to the joint, and would be incapacitated for some considerable time, even if he recovered the full use of the joint, which'was doubtful at present. I The Chairman Is this the first time ? Complainant On the 16th I was coming along Market-street and he caught hold of me by the collar and said If I catch you shouting any more I am going to screw your neck round." Mr. Jacob You are rather fond of a row after you have had a little drink ?-I may be some- times. Had you had anything that day ?-Not more than three half-pints. Weren't you put out of the Farmers' Arms by three men ?—No. You were quarrelling with your wife, and there was an old lady next door who was dying ? —Yes. And Irons came and asked you to keep quiet ? —He continually does it. What was this instrument ?—God knows. I wish the magistrates would see the wound for themselves. You didn't see an instrument ?—No. When did you go to the doctor ?-On the following Monday (the 27th). If you had such a bad arm on the Wednesday, why didn't you go to the doctor till the following Monday ?—Because I felt no use in it. The arm was dead. Mrs. Jones said that she and her husband were having words in the house, and her husband was shouting. Defendant came down the road and said, Jones, stop that shouting or I will job you." Her husband got up and went to the door and ordered him away. Defendant caught hold of him, pulled him through the doorway and threw him back into the middle of the kitchen on his back. Her husband went to fetch a sweeping brush. Defendant stood a few minutes and then sprang at him. There was a struggle and witness ran to the police station. When she came back the house was disarranged and her husband was standing up. She noticed his shirt sleeve, and there was blood on it. By the Chairman Her husband had had a glass or two, but she had seen him very much worse for drink. She looked at the elbow and bandaged it up. It was a cut. By the Magistrates' Clerk It was not bleed- ing much. The shirt was cut through at the elbow. The Chairman Does your husband often come home and quarrel ?—Yes, we often have rows. Sometimes I start the row, if things are not what I want them to be. Mr. Jacob Did you see anything in Iron's hands ?-No, he had his hands in his pockets. Defendant said that he was by the Drill Hall and heard a lot of shouting, and said Hello, that Jones is on again, and the poor old lady bad next door." He told his wife It is a shame that a man should be carrying on like this. I will go and see if I can make him behave himself." He went to complainant's house and said ":You know that the old lady is very bad next door kindly give her a chance." Complainant threatened him with the broom, pulled him in- side, and there was a scuffle on the floor. After- wards complainant said to him; I will make you pay for this." Defendant asked him what he meant, and advised him to go back inside. Complainant ran down the street, and his arm was all right then. Defendant overtook him, asked him what he meant by paying him out, and said If you are a man, let us go down the fields and have a set-to and not kick up a dis- turbance where an old lady is dying." Witness .admitted that he wanted to fight at that time. The next day complainant's arm was all right, because he was playing quoits. Witness denied that he-had an instrui^'eut.. any '"kind in his hand. J t The Chairman Can you account for the wound ?-I would not want an instrument for a man like that. I could manage him with these (showing his fists). Mrs. Irons said that her husband caught hold of the brush, and complainant pulled him in and fell on top of him. He had her husband by the throat and said that if he could get hold of the poker he would hit him on the head with it. F. Harris said that defendant was quarrelling in the Farmers' Arms on the afternoon of the 22nd. and he was the worse for drink. John James said that he saw the defendant at the Butchers' Arms on the 23rd, with his hand in his waistcoat. Witness asked him what was the matter with his hand, and he replied I have got the rheumatics very bad from being out at the front." P.-sergt. Spendlove said he was called down to Jones's house by Mrs. Jones. Irons was standing in the lane and Jones was sitting in a chair. He had had a smashing up and witness asked-him what was the matter. Jones replied I have had a drop on me and Tom Irons has laced me." About three days afterwards Jones said his arm was bad. Witness asked him what was the matter with it, and he said It is where Tom Irons put his boot into mè." He said he had been cleaning windows for two days. He made no complaint of any weapon being used. By Mr. Jacob They had a great deal of trouble with Jones. He was one of the most noisy men in town. The Chairman said that the Bench were not satisfied that there was any proof that the injury to the arm was caused by Irons. Looking at the past history of both Jones and Irons, neither had a very good character. There were con- victions against both, and they had decided to dismiss the case. If they took his advice they would get further apart from each other, and avoid quarrelling in future, or it might lead to something worse than an injured arm. They were sorry for the complainant because of the injury to his arm, but he had contributed to- wards it himself by his drunken habits and his quarrelling. What He Thought Of Himself. Henry Lane, labourer, was summoned for using obscene language in Frogmore-street on the 29th ult. P.-C. Calder said that he had to speak to defendant twice about it. The Chairman You are an old hand at this. You have a bad record. Defendant It is a thing I very seldom do. Supt. Thomas He is very quiet when he is not in drink. The Chairman Who were you using the language to ? Defendant Myself. The Chairman Because you had had too much drink ? (Laughter). Defendant was fined 5s. including costs. Too Many Drops. I Emily Cooper, married woman, of Cardiff, was summoned for being drunk and disorderly on the previous day. She said she had come from Cardiff and it was very cold, and she had three drops of whisky with her father and niece. P.-C. Gover said that he saw the prisoner and two other women in Monk-street. One had a young baby, and all three were under the in- fluence of drink. He tried to persuade the woman with the baby to go into the house of a woman who had offered to take her in until she got sober, and prisoner interfered and would not let her go. He had no option but to lock prisoner up. She was most violent at times. Supt. Thomas said that prisoner had come with others to see someone at the AsyluiA. In imposing a fine of 5s. including.costs, the Chairman remarked When you come to Aber- gavenny you will have to keep sober." Col. Williams Can't you put a muzzle on her ? (Laughter).
PEACE CELEBRATIONS.I
PEACE CELEBRATIONS. I ABERGAVENNY COMMITTEE'S STATEMENT I soft- OF ACCOUNTS. BALANCE OF OVER 2190 IN HAND. I A meeting of the Peace Celebrations Com- mittee at Abergavenny was held in the Council Chamber on Wednesday evening, for the purpose of receiving the statement of accounts in con- nection with the recent ftivities. The Mayor (Aid. Z. Wheatley) presided. The Items of Expenditure. I The statement of accounts as submitted bv Mr W H Hopwood (Town Clerk), who acted as hon. treasurer, was as follows Income 4d. rate, £ 568 sale of programmes, £9 12s. gd. total £ 577 12S. 9d. Expenditure Torches and rockets, 12 ISS. Nuggets Concert Party, £ 10 beilringing, £ 10 band, £ 18 18s. music, £ 2 10s. silver spades, £ 6 15s. badges, £ 4 12S. 8d. refresh- ments and tent, £1 18s. old age pensioners, 1.50 1 os. 7d. insurance, £ 2 IOS. prizes, £ 22 7s. 6d. teas, £87 15s. 3d. printing and advertisements, £ 15 6s. gd. labour £ 27 19s. 9d. clerical assistance, £ 3 15s. 3d. decorating Castle, £ 5 printing programmes, 4 ioi 6?. 6d. — £ 384 3s. 3d. Balance in hand, £lg3 9S. 6d. Total, £ 577 12s. gd. ?5 -77 12S. gd. £100 for Programmes. I Councillor W. J. Tong asked if the printing of the programmes was by tender. The Mayor said there was no estimate for-the programmes, as there was no time to get them. They gave the work to Messrs. Seargeant Bros and divided the remaining work between the three printers. Councillor Tong The £ 15 was divided be- tween the others. The Mayor said he must admit that it was a very big item, but there was a good deal of work in it, and it was more in the nature of a souvenir. Councillor Plowman said it was regrettable that not more programmes were sold. It was accounted for by the wet weather and the dis- turbance in the Park. The Mayor They were well circulated, and I hope they will have a good effect. The Town Clerk said they cost is. each. Councillor Plowman proposed that the balance sheet be adopted. He noticed that only £ 3 15s. 3d. was put down for clerical assistance, and he thought that as they had a handsome balance they might allow a larger sum for the work done. Mr. Shapley asked if the dinner to the soldiers came out of this fund. The Mayor No, it is a separate organisation. Councillor Plowman That was paid for by voluntary contributions. The Town Clerk And there is a balance in hand. Balance To Help The Rates. I Mr. W. Devereux asked what was intended to be done with the balance on the Peace Celebra- tions account. The Mayor said the Finance Committee of the Council would have to deal with that matter. The balance would probably be used in the borough fund. Mr. Trevor Jones said that there were a lot of programmes still left, and it would be well to distribute them and get rid of them. Councillor Plowman proposed that £ 10 be allocated from the balance to the clerical staff, and left to the Town Clerk to distribute as he thought proper. Mr. Percy Fraser seconded. Mr. Trevor Jones proposed that the odd £ 13 as. 6d. be given for clerical assistance. Mr. W. Devereux seconded. The mover and seconder withdrew their proposition and the amendment was carried. Mr. W. Devereux said that instead of a 4d. rate the expenditure was met by a rate of 2d. Councillor Tong 2id. The Mayor said that of course the intention at one time was to entertain the soldiers, but that was done by voluntary subscriptions. They would not lose anything by levying a 4d. rate, because the balance would go to the borough fund. Mr. Devereux: It is just as well to let the ratepayers know. A certain section made a song about it. Mr. Jones proposed a vote of thanks to all who had assisted in the celebrations and to the Mayor especially for the work which he had done. Mr. F. W. Blanch seconded. Councillor Plowman supported and said that no man deserved the thanks of the committee more than the Mayor did. The Mayor, in reply, said that the only thing he regretted was the unfortunate affair which took place on Peace Day. It was the worst upset he had had for five years. He hoped they would forget it all and go on together with the work of reconstruction. ..4- Ii

ICrickhowell Board of Guardians.…
Crickhowell Board of Guardians. J THE REMOVAL TO GILWERN. Mr. Gwilym C. James presided at the fort- nightlv meeting of this Board on Monday, at the Town HaIl, Crickhowell. A Princetown Allegation. A letter was read from the owner of the house at Princetown, Tredegar, whom Mr. Gwilym Davies alleged at the last meeting turned a woman and four children out without notice and under disgraceful conditions, denying the state- ments made. The Guardians had been mis- informed altogether. He bought the property from another man, and he referred the Board to this person for the correct particulars. Mr. Enoch Griffiths That is no answer at all. The woman was turned out of her home. The Chairman 1 do not see that the Guar- dians can do anything in the matter. Mr. J. Anthony Why not send a copy of the letter to Mr. Gwilym Davies, in fairness to him. The Chairman Oh, certainly. Mr. T. Price The Labour Council are taking action. Temporary R.O. I Twenty-one applications were received for the post of temporary relieving officer in the Upper District, and 1r. Evan Beynon, of antyglo, was appointed at a salary of £ 4 per week. Mr. J. T. Turner, R.O. for the Upper District, has been given three months' leave of absence owing to serious illness. Increases Sanctioned. I The Ministry of Health wrote sanctioning an increase of salary of Dr. P. Smith, Sirhowy, from ./10 to £ 20 a year. N The Ministry of Health wrote sanctioning an increase in vaccination fees to medical officers from 3s. 6d. to 5s. per case. The Move to Gilwern. I Mr. Enoch Griffiths inquired whether the Ministry of Health sanctioned the removal of the meetings to Gilwern. The Clerk Not yet. Mr. Enoch Griffiths Their sanction is not necessary, Mr. Chairman. We can hold meet- ings wherever we like in the Union, and I propose that we proceed to go to Gilwern, sanction or no sanction. Mr. E. Morris Davies Our next meeting must be in Gilwern. The Chairman No, no. We have to put ourselves right with the authorities. Mr. Griffiths It is not necessary.
Crickhowell Rural District…
Crickhowell Rural District Council. I 60 HOUSES TO BE BUILT. 1 Mr. W. G. James presided at the monthly meeting of this Council on Monday, at the Town Hall, Crickhowell. The Council decided to build 60 houses in various parishes in the district, and approved of the Surveyor's housing report to the Ministry of Health, submitting particulars as required by the -Ict. I A Pretty Outlook." I Replying to a question, Mr. Hurley stated that there was only one premises in the whole of the district which might be converted into a dwelling-house. There were a number of houses unfit for habitation and the usual orders would be served. Mr. GN-ilym C. James But what is the use of trying to enforce them ? We cannot turn the poor people out on the road. (Hear, hear). Mr. A. J. Thomas I should like to know, Mr. Chairman, where the money is to come from to build all these houses. The Chairman said it was a difficult question to answer at this juncture. Mr. Thomas The ratepayers will eventually have to pay, you may depend. It is a pretty outlook. Shortage of Water. I Mr. E. W. Mcintosh drew attention to the scarcity of water at Clydach and said the position was extremely serious. People had to go to the other side of the valley to fetch drinking water, and even then it could only be obtained with difficulty. He urged more dispatch in carrying through the water schemes. Clydach residents would stand no more delay. Mr. T. LI. Jones and Mr. Wm. Williams said that at Llanelly Hill and Gilwern people were suffering from shortage of water. The Surveyor said he sympathised with these unfortunate people, but, as the Council knew full well, everything possible was being done to carry through the schemes. Negotiations had to be carried through in a proper manner. The summer had been an extraordinary one and Llanelly was not the only district in the Council's area to suffer from shortage of water. A Disgraceful Delay. I Mr. T. LI. Jones enquired whether the Clerk had heard from the Ministry of Health with reference to the removal of the Brynmawr sewerage pipes out of the Llanelly district. The Clerk Only a formal acknowledgment of the letter has been received. Mr. T. LI. Jones The delay is disgraceful, and a very strong letter should be sent to the Ministry of Health protesting against the un- reasonable delay. The health of Llanelly people is at stake. Brynmawr must be compelled, and that speedily, to take their sewerage elsewhere. The Chairman, who formed one of the deputa- tion to the Ministry of Health on the 18th of August, commented strongly upon the delay and suggested that the Clerk write the authori- ties that the Council were determined to end this matter once and for all. Mr. Gwilym James agreed. It was un- reasonable. The Council unanimously decided to instruct the Clerk to complain to the Ministry of Health of the unreasonable delay. The Guardians' Meetings. I Mr. A. J. Thomas moved that the Council protest against the removal of the Guardians' meetings to Gilwern. In his opinion it was an uncalled for departure. Mr. E. W. Mcintosh protested against the Council interfering in a matter which only con- cerned the Guardians. Mr. T. Ll. Jones also opposed. The resolution was carried, only Mr. Mcintosh and Mr. T. Ll. Jones voting against. Dr. P. E. Hill reported that the parish of 1,14nelly was now free from typhoid fever, (Hear, hear).

HOCKEY.I
HOCKEY. I ABERGAVENNY v. NEWPORT. ,I Abergavenny played an interesting match with Newport on the Avenue-road ground on Saturday, and there was a good crowd of specta- tors. Newport are a strong team and they soon showed their superiority in attack, their forwards playing fine hockey. J. Jonathan and H. Price did some excellent work in defence, but they could not avert many combined movements on their goal. At half-time Newport ,had scored four goals to their opponents' one, and of these Dunn had the credit of no less than three, while he had-a good deal to do with the fourth. Aber- gavenny's score came from R. Day. The Abergavenny left wing was rather weak and after the interval this was strengthened by putting Gordon Hiley forward and moving Mitchell to half. The change improved the attack without weakening the defence, and the home team played up much better in the second half and had quite their share of the play. Facey reduced Newport's lead, but Dunn scored another goal. The final score was Newport, 5 goals Abergavenny, 2 goals. Abergavenny show promise of making a really good team when they settle down to business and have the players allocated to their most suitable positions. Some of the individual play on Saturday was somewhat disappointing and some of the old players have not yet found their form. The best back on the field was Hazell, of Newport, who was almost unbeatable. Bishop, in goal, saved several dangerous shots. The following was the Abergavenny team Goal, C. Bishop backs, J. Jonathan and Davies; half-backs, C. Mitchell, H. Price and G Hiley forwards, J. J. Bishop; F. Facey, R. Day, A. Mitchell and T. Gough. 4

Baker, Grosmont, has organised from time to time a number of entertainments. The recent weekly classes in the art of the light fantastic toe have taken on with such remarkable success that he determined to have a long night," for which elaborate preparations were made. This event came off in the Town Hall on Tuesdav and continued into the early hours of Wednesday morning, and turned out to be a most gratifying success in every respect. Jordan's String Band from Hereford was in attendance.
LLANGENNY. I
LLANGENNY. I SOCIAL.—The Llangenny Church Choir were entertained at a splendid social on Friday. This year the annual outing was abandoned.

Wade, and the booby prizes Miss E. Bird and Mr. W. R. Evans. Subsequently refreshments were admirably served by Mr. R. H. Stevens, Aber- gavenny. The proceedings concluded with a miscellaneous entertainment, in which various members of the choir acquitted themselves creditably.

 -v? I LLANCATTOCK. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLTTB.—.A special meeting of the Llangattock A.F.C. was held on Monday evening, to elect officers of the newly- formed club. There was a good attendance and there is every prospect of a successful season. Mr. A. Lloyd Barrow, formerly of The Plas, Llangattock, and now of Maescelyn, Crick- howell, was unanimously appointed president, and Mr. J. P. Williams, the old Rugby three- quarter back, chairman. The committee will comprise Mr. Charles Powell (the quarter-mile ex-Welsh champion runner), Mr. Tom Owen, Mr. Jack Jones, Mr. John Hamer, and the Chair- man, also Mr. Percy Allbutt. Mr. A. L. King, Ffwddog, Crickhowell, is secretary, Mr. John Hamer treasurer, Mr. David Andrews captain, and Mr. Oliver King vice-captain. The club is desirous of arranging fixtures with teams (17 to 23) up to a 14 mile radius. A few years ago Llangattock had a very good team and there is no reason why the present side should not do well. On Saturday the XI. lost to Mardy by 4 goals to 2, following defeat by Glanusk Park, but the men are improving with experience. + Preferment-The Rev. H. G. Pickard, M.A., ex-Chaplain to the Forces, formerly Curate of Llandaff, has been appointed Vicar of East Ruston, Norwich, by the Dean and Canons of Windsor.
