The Clerk read a letter from Mr Williams, water works engineer, stating that in connection with the laying of new mains in the district y Lord Bute had not given consent, but the matter would receive consideration. TJIU TULL-I;ATE QUESTION. Mr W. B. Shepherd called the committee's attention to a letter in the Press, with refer- ence to the Penarth toll gate, in which ife stated Mr Harpur, the borough engineer, bad said the Cardiff Corporation were not liable for the removal of the toll-gate. He (the chairman^ thought Mr Harpur had been incorrectly reported. The Cardiff Corporation received benefit from the gate, as they already took 70 to 75 per cent., and this money was used by them for maintaining roads within the borough. It was the only toll- gate in Glamogan, and he (Mr Shepherd) -w" of opinion it should be done away with.— Mr T. Bevan did not think the board should meeU- the expense of its removal.—Mr Shepherd re- marked some definite stoep should be taken at the next board meeting.—Mr Pile considered it would be a good idea if committees of the Penfinh and- Barry Local Boards and Dinas Powis Highway Board combined, and took joint action in tho- matter.—Mr R. Bevan concurred with Mr Pile. PROPOSED SWUIMLVi CLUB AT PENARTJT. Mr T. Bevan informed the committee that; roru* gentlemen in the town wished to form a swimming club, and desired to know if the board would grant them the same facilities as extended to the Newport swimming club, viz., a book of one dozen admission tickets to the baths fo" three shillings, and be allowed to promote entertain- ments, &c.—Mr W. L. Morris thought it W8>! th& duty of the board to yrant the request: aud it. was decided to defer the question till the ne>» meeting of the board. THE RECREATION COMMITTEE. Mr R. Bevan asked when the above committee was likely to meet, for if there was no alteration, in the present master he would have to agitate for the appointment of afresh committee.—No dis- cussion followed.
