DISTRICT AFFAIRS. RURAL COUNCILLORS MEET ON MONDAY. Mr David Jones (Lianbadarn) presided at a meeting of the Aberystwyth Rural District Council which was held on Monday. There were also present Messrs T Oliver Jones, John Richards, William Mason, David James, John Bonner, R W Morgan, LI. J Lewis, W S Davies, Daniel Jenkins, David Lewis, Evan Evans, Richard Thomas, J L Powell, Thomas Jones. E J Evans, with Mr H Parry Edwards (deputy clerk) and other officials. An improvement. Some discussion took place on a question that has occupied attention for some consider- able time, namely, the steam rolling of a stretch of roadway on the Lovesgrove to Bow Street road. One of the surveyors declared that he understood they had definitely adjourned the matter until they got informa- tion as to whether it was possible to get a grant from the Road Board. They were adjourning matters from one meeting to the other, and he did not know what they wanted (laughter).-The Rev E J Davies said a sub- scription would be received from Sir Edward Pryse.—It was eventually decided to hire a roller and have the work attended to. General Matters. An application was read from the Talybont district asking the Council to take over a parish road leading from that village to Lerry View.—The Rev John Davies suggested that the surveyor should examine the road and report.—Lady Evans, Lovesgrove, wrote un behalf of the Aberystwyth and Lianbadarn Nursing Association asking for a subscription. It was decided to reply that the Guardians contributed £ 10 annually, and that the membership of Guardians and Council was coincident.—An application from the Chiswick Electric Supply Company for permission to extend their mains into the districts outside the boundaries of the borough was discussed. — It was stated that the roads for which per- mission v/as "equLred were in the hands of private owners. J Rats ami Cats. ] A lengthy circular was read from the t' Government Board suggesting the importance 1 of taking steps for the destruction of rats where it was thought there was a danger of their carrying plague.—Mr T O Jones thought they had bettor get plenty of cats and terriers I (iaagbter). —No action was taken. Berth Affairs. I Mr W T Lewis wrote to say that Mr Cable, the engineer of the sewage scheme, had obtained an appointment at Coventry, and the parochial committee recommended the trans- ference of the duties to Messrs Dodd & Dodd, ference of the duties to Messrs Dodd & Dodd, I of Birmingham.—The recommendation was I adopted. I Roads and Mines. Mr David James submitted a verbal report on the state of the road leading from Bwlchy- I garreg in the Talybont district to the mines. They would recall the fact that one of the mine officials had attended and urged the Council to take the road over and maintain it. The road served only one farm and would be used almost entirely by the mines people. A good deal of expense wes necessary to get II it into and keep it in condition.—Mr William Mason remarked that they should not j maintain' roads for raining companies.— ] Rev. John Davies said it was unfair to I deprecate improving roads, &c., unless they were of use to farmers. Villagers were against expenditure on roads for farmers because they did not contribute towards water, lighting, &c., Ii charges. They were falling into the same pit. —Rev. E. J. Davies said they ought to support the mining companies as strongly as they could. it was quite possible they would do thb whole of North Cardiganshire a great deal of good.—Mr D. James said it would mean keeping one man on the road.—A member A man — (laughter).— Mr James Yes, not half a man, and mind you it is not easy to get a com- plete man these days.—Mr John Richards said he was prepared to support taking the road over if it was placed in a thoroughly satis- factory conditiol1.It was decided to recon- I sider the question at a later date. I Sad Cottages. I The Inspector in his reports stated that daring his visit to various districts he had found some cottages to be in a bad state. I They were beyond hope of repair and required I" rebuilding and they would have to be con- demned unless attended to at an early date. As they were in districts where cottages were scarce their closing would entail hardship upon the -families occupying them. Fie had sent notices to the owners, and owners, he sent notices to the owners, and owners, he generally found, were ready to do what was z, required. There was a tendency to provide a better class of dwellings and the bye-laws bad done a great deal in that direction by showing what the essential requirements were. Some cases of scarlet fever had occurred in Darren, Cwmervin and LIanbadarn.— Dr. James wrote saying there was a case of diphtheria at Bow Street. The living room was too small and the water supply suspicious. The Half=Year. An estimate of the expenditure for the ensuing six months was presented from which it appeared that the amount required was £ 1,277 compared with £1.217 for the eoitres- ponding period in 1909-10. The assessable value of the whole district is £52,108.

CARDIGANSHIRE COUNTY i; COUNCIL j' LAMPETER-ABERAYRON LIQHT RAILWAY. SMALL HOLDINGS AGENT'S EXPENSES. The quarterly meeting of the Cardiganshire County Council was held at the Town Hall, Lampeter, on Thursday, the Chairman (Mr R. S. Rowland, Garth) presiding. There were also present Aldermen C. M. Williams, W. J. Lloyd, E. J. Davies, E. Davies, M. L. Vaughan Davies, M.P., David Evans, R. J. R. Loxdale, Councillors J. H. Davies, Jenkin Davies, Captain Doughton, Edward Evans, D. J. Williams, Griffith Davies, Thomas Jones. Sir E. J. Webley Parry-Pryse, Ba rt., Major J. J. Bonsall, Robert Ellis, D. C. Roberts, D. Morgan James, John James, Captain E. A. L. Powell, Josiah Jones, J. W. Davies, Thomas Morgan, T. Arthur Thomas, J. M. Howell, John Jones, W. Griffiths, Lodwiek Jones, William Jeremy, Morgan Evans, John Jones, and Principal Li. J. M. Bebb, together with the Clerk (Mr Evan Evans) and other officials. Conservators. The first business on the agenda was to appoint four Conservators for the Teify Fishery District for the ensuing year. The retiring Conservators were Alderman Evan Davies, Councillors R S Rowland and James Stephens and Mr D Martin Jones. The Chairman intimated that he did not wish to be re-elected as he was already an ex- officio member. The other three retiring members were re- elected, Councillor D J Williams, Tregaron, I being substituted for the Chairman. Sir Marteine 0 M Lloyd, Bart., was re- elected Conservator for the Towy Fishery District. Aberystwyth CoHege. I Councillor D C Roberts, Aberystwyth. was appointed a representative of the Council on I the Court of the University of Wales in place of the late Rev 1..1. Edwards, M.A. Welsh Intermediate Education. Councillor D C Roberts was also appointed a representative on the Joint Education Com- mittee under the Welsh Intermediate Act, 1889, in the place of the late Rev Llewelyn Edwards, M.A. Crown Lands. A communication was received from the Clerk to the Carnarvonshire County Council asking this Council to appoint a committee to enquire and report on Crown, common and waste lands in Wales. The Clerk We have already done so, and therefore there is no need of taking any action. National Memorial. The Lord Mayor of Cardiff wrote asking the Council to appoint two representatives to act on the general committee of the National Memorial to the late King Edward VII. The Clerk explained that the committee would be in existence for many years, and the Chairman added that the meetings were being held at Shrewsbury. Alderman R J R Loxdale and Councillor 0 Beynon Evans were appointed. No Power, A communication was received from the Board of Agriculture with regard to the resolution of the last Council as to proceedings under the Fertilizers and Feeding Stuffs Act, 1906. It was then decided to petition the Board of Agriculture that authority be given to the Council to take such proceedings with- out first obtaining the previous consent of the Board, The Board now stated that they had no power to give the general consent, but he (the Clerk) had seen the Inspector, who would be happy to confer with the Council or with any farmer on the subject. 1 Midwives. A letter was read from Lady Evans, Loves- grove, president of the A beryswyth and .Llan- badarn Nursing Association, applying for a grant for training of midwives or nurse mid- wives in the county. The Clerk stated that many of the County Councils had given grants, Anglesey had made a grant of R75 for the training of three nurses Carnarvonshire, £100 Flint, £ 75; and Meri- onethshire £ 75. Alderman C. M. Williams proposed that the letter be referred to the Finance Committee, and this was agreed to. A Protest. A letter was read from the chairman of the Parish Meeting of Bettws Leiki protesting against the erection of the proposed new school at Gartheli, on the grounds that no benefit would occur to the parish and that no chidren attended the Gartheli school from Bettws Leiki. Councillor J. H. Davies moved that the matter be referred to the Education Com- mittee. Alderman W. J. Lloyd moved an amend- ment that the petition be left on the table. The school, he added, ought to have been built by now. The original proposition was carried, where- upon Alderman Lloyd remarked "It's all nonsense." Sheep Dipping. The Clerk reported having received a letter from the Board of Agriculture stating the Board were satisfied with the way the double Dipping of sheep bad been carried out in the county (hear, hear). Polling Stations. The Clerk to the Scyborycoed Parish Council wrote applying that the polling station at Taliesin be removed to Eglwys Fach. On the motion of Alderman C M Williams it was decided to refer the matter to the Finance Committee. Councillor Jenkin Davies moved that the parish of Llandysiliogogo be granted two polling stations for election purposes instead of one as at present, as many electors from the remote parts of the parish complained of the long distance they had to travel to the present existing station. This matter was also referred to the Finance Committee, and in the meantime the Clerk was directed to ascertain the view of the parish meeting at both places. New Main Road. The Council made a provisional order declaring the highway leading from the Plough and Harrow to Llanon village a main road. No Comment. The reports of the Main Roads, Bridges and Public Buildings Committee for the Northern and Southern Divisions were adopted without any comment. Agent's Expenses. Alderman Loxdale moved the adoption of the Finance Committee and called special attention to the following paragraph :—Mr Tom Parry, the county land agent, attended the Committee and produced the following accounts :— Services and expenses in Aberystwyth district, d £ 58 18s 6d ditto Aberayron, £ 3 14s 6d r ditto Newcastle Emlyn 6C55 8s 6d printing ( and advertising, &c., £ 34 19s lOd; and Pen- ( garreg repairs, &c., J-425. It was resolved to a recommend payment of the accounts together j 1 with the balance of salary up to 30th Sept., t provided the Board of Agriculture and ] Fisheries approve of the accounts for services and expenses with a view to repayment of the same to the Council, and the Clerk was 1 requested to forward the accounts to the Board of Agriculture for that purpose. The i Agent was directed to include his reports and valuations in the agendas of the Committees also to pay all monies received by him from time to time to the treasurer's account at the National Provincial Bank, Aberystwyth. í A letter was read from the Board of Agri- culture stating they could not undertake to repay any particular expenditure. They were < prepared to pay in addition to half the salary all costs of valuations, provided the valuation j had been carried out on the instructions of the Small Holdings Committee. The Chairman It's very difficult to enter into this matter to-day. Councillor Robert Ellis said he, as one who had signed the bills, would like the Council to give instructions as to what was legitimate expenses. According to the terms of the appointment the Agent was to be paid cE60 a year and was to do the duties and attend the ordinary meetings. The attention of the Agent was called to the expenses and he reduced them. Were they going to pay him half-a-crown for a dinner at an hotel ? He wanted to have their instruction as to what I 'e were legitimate expenses. Councillor D J Williams said he quite agreed with Mr Ellis. He thought they ought | to have some of the money returned before they proceeded any further. Alderman C M Williams contended that the bulk of the items would be refunded by the Board of Agriculture. Was it reasonable to keep the Agent or any other official for two or three months without his salary ? It was not the fault of the Agent that the Board of Agriculture did not pay immediately. Sir Edward Pryse suggested that as the I Board of Agriculture required vouchers that it would be best to refer the matter to them. Alderman Loxdrle I venture to say that the accounts have been carefully gone into. He ought to be paid, and what we do in the future is another matter (hear, hear). The Clerk said the accounts would have to be approved by the Finance Committee and audited by the County Auditor before the money would be repaid. Were all the valua- tions made on instructions from the Small Holdings Committee? Mr Tom Parry (agent) All valuations were made on resolutions passed by the Small Holdings Committee. I have not done an acre otherwise, as I dare not (hear, hear). Councillor Robert Ellis said Mr Parry had been paid very well. The receipts amounted to £ 64 Is 6d and the expenditure to £ 734 14s 5d. He agreed that the Agent should be paid for attending any special meetings. Councillor D C Roberts said it was not reasonable to keep Mr Parry without paying his salary. They were really bound to pay their accounts that day. He, however, quite agreed that they should decide the question of travelling expenses. He proposed that the accounts be paid subject to the matter of readjustment and that the question of travelling expenses be gone into between the Finance Committee and the Agent. This was agreed to, and a further resolution by Councillor Robert Ellis that the matter be referred to the Finance Committee to decide what were included and not included in Mr Parry's salary and to come to some uniformity with travelling expenses was also carried. The Education Rate. It was resolved that the following rates be ordered for the current half-year, namely:— For elementary education a rate of 4d in the £ higher education, Id in the £ Road Improvement. The Finance Committee reported that it had been resolved at the request of the Main Roads Committee for the Southern Division to recommend the Council to sanction an expenditure not exceeding £ 660 in executing the proposed road improvement at Llechryd, including the building of Arberth Bridge, and to apply to the Local Government Board for permission to borrow that amount uo. mortgage of the county fund. I Alderman Loxdale moved the adoption of the recommendation and this was agreed to. County Medical Officer, Councillor Sir Edward Pryse, in moving the adoption of the report of the Public Health and Housing Committee, which was adopted, called attention to the following paragraph — The Clerk having produced a letter from the Clerk to the Education Committee with regard to the proposed appointment of a medical officer of health for the county, it was resolved to recommend the council to make the appoint- ment at the quarterly meeting in February next that the duties of the medical officer shall include medical inspection of school children; that the salary be fixed at JE450 including travelling expenses that advertise- ments be inserted in local newspapers for can- didates who must be able to speak the Welsh language and that canvassing be a disqualifi- cation for the appointment. It was also resolved that the Council be recommended to authorise this Committee, in conjunction with six representatives of the Education Committee, to open the applications of candidates and submit a short list to the Council; that the Clerk be requested to com- municate with the Clerk to the Education Committee with a view to the appointment of six representatives to act on behalf of that Committee also that the statement of duties of the medical officer be prepared by the Clerk, in conjunction with the Chairman, and Clerk of the Education Committee, Councillor D. Morgan James I think it is a rather big salary for the county of Cardigan (Voices No.") Councillor James Isn't it. I see you think it's satisfactory, and I leave it to you. Not Convenient. Councillor J H Davies moved the adoption of the report of the Common and Crown Lands Committee, which stated that the Clerk was directed to obtain from the Commissioners of His Majesty's Woods and Forests particu- lars of the extent of (a) Crown wastes in the county (b) mineral rights (c) mineral rights in lands enclosed from common lands. Alderman W J Lloyd asked when they were to expect the report of the Committee ? The Clerk It is not convenient for the Welsh Members to meet the deputation until the 26th of this month, and after that we shall get the report. Common Seal. I It was agreed to affix the common seal of the Council to a mortgage to the Public Works Loan Commissioners to secure the sum of £2,512, being improvements to the following Council ] schools, namely :-Bronant, £1,345 Chancery, i £ 385 Borth, £ 305; and Gwenlli, £477; and to J the authority for the delivery of the certificate 1 for the same sum to the County Treasurer, and f to authorise the Chairman of the Council and t the Clerk to sign all documents necessary to I c complete the loan in the usual manner to a v deed granting the right of user of a certain i part of the Cardigan Town Ball to the I 1 Corporation of Cardigan, and to authorise the j Chairman of the Council and the Clerk to sign and complete the deed to a mortgage to the Public Works Loan Commissioners to secure the sum of £ 2,900 the price of Cwmcynon Farm, in the parish of Llandyssiliogogo, acquired for small holding purposes, and to the authority for the delivery of the certificate for the same sum to the County Treasurer as soon as the mortgage and authority respectively are received by the Clerk, and to authorise the Chairman of the Council and the Clerk to sign all documents necessary to complete the loan in the usual manner; to a counterpart lease of Dolchenog Farm for small holdings purposes from Mr T. J. Waddingham to the Council for the term of 35 years at the yearly rent of £ 80. Councilor Ellis Yon have tenants for Cwm- eynon ? Mr Tom Parry: Yes; they are already sitting. W The Council also directed to affix the common seal to a mortgage to the trustee of the Police Pension Fund to secure the sum of £1,350, being expenditure incurred by the Council in respect of Pont Llanio and Trecefel Bridges, and to authorise the Chairman of the Council and the Clerk to sign all necessary documents to complete the mortgage. Veterinary Surgeon. 'I In accordance with a notice of motion I Councillor D J Williams moved that Mr Edward Morgan, veterinary surgeon, Tregaron, be employed by the Council to undertake the I inspection of any cases of sheep scab arising within the Tregaron Union where the services of a veterinary surgeon are required. This was agreed to. I Advice upon Small Holdings. It was decided on the proposition of Sir Edward Pryse that the Council should invite the Board of Agriculture to send one of their Commissioners to confer with and advice the Council with regard to the administration of the Small Holdings Act, 1908, and that the Agent be directed to convene a special meet- I ing of the Council for that purpose on a date to be fixed by the Commissioner. Light Railway. I The following matters were also on the agenda :—To direct the common seal of the Council to be aSixed to a mortgage to the Yorkshire Penny Bank to secure the sum of £ 1-500 to enable the Council to make a further advance of £ 1,500 to the Lampeter, and New Quay Light Railway Company. Alderman W. J. Lloyd moved :—Tbat this Council regrets that in the construction of the Lampeter and Aberayron Light Rail- way no provision has so far been made to meet the requirements and convenience of the important and densely populated parishes of ¡ Nantcvvnlle, Gartheli, Bettws Leiki, Trefilaxi, and the upper portion of Llanfihangel Ystrad, 'I and is of opioion that the Directors of the railway company in disregarding the under- taking which prompted the County Authority to contribute to the cost witholds from this community the privileges which a proper and .j fair administration of the Light Railway Act, 1896, would necessarily confer. The Council therefore request the Company in the fulfil- ment of its pledge and undertaking to submit to the Board of Trade (which has already intimated its willingness to consider such an ¡ application) proposals providing for a siding accommodation at Penwern, also that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the Directors of the Lampeter and Aberayron Light Railway Company, the General Manager of the Great Western Railway Company, the President of the Board of Trade, and Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P. I' The Clerk reported having t'eceived two letters from Mr J C Harford, chairman of the said Company, and Alderman Lloyd said the letters ought to be read before he moved his • resolution. I The first letter was dated November 8th and was as follows—I regret being unable to attend the meeting of the County Council, but having promised my boy that I would be present at his school speech-day I cannot disappoint him. I am glad to be able to » report that the Light Railway is practically L finished. The permanent way is complete as far as Aberayron, the telegraph poles have been erected, and little remains to be done beyond completing the station, halts, telegraph wires, and signals. On Thursday October 20th the G.W.R. officials made a formal inspection of the line, and were taken the entire length of it to Aberayron in a train composed of an engine and two saloons. The G.W.R. have consented to allow trucks with coal or goods to be hauled over the line by the contractor's engine, provided their own trucks are used, as a convenience for the district, with the stipulation that this shall not constitute any guarantee that they have taken over the line. With regard to facilities afforded the district by the new line, the total length is twelve miles and it will be served by five halts and two stations, besides the use of Lampeter station. Ystrad, the central station, is situated exactly half-way between Lampeter and Aberayron, on level ground close to the high road with ample room for expansion, and every facility for dealing with coal, lime, cattle, or goods traffic. Small station buildings will be put up at Aberayron and Ystrad, and at the halts the platforms will be lengthened to a hundred feet, and a small shelter erected on each. Sidings have been provided at Silian and Ciliau Aeron halts, although this was not part of the agreement with the G.W.R. or of the County Council. I have to-day inspected that Avonmouth and Filton Railway constructed by the G.W.R. and serving this district as well as the Avonmouth Docks, and find that its length is seven miles, having one station, and three halts with platforms of a hundred feet and small iron shelters. There are no sidings at the halts, the goods traffic being worked from the one station at Henburg, much as the G.W.R. propose should be done at Ystrad for one line. As to what is mentioned 1 in the matter on the agenda regarding the Board of Trade, we have received ffrom them the greatest possible civility and help, and their letter merely conveys what the Directors 1 well know, namely that the Board will be prepared to carefully consider any proposal made by the Directors. As regards a siding at Penwern, the gradient there is 1 in 40, whereas the Board of Trade insists on 1 in 240. Extra sidings capable of holding a train equal c to 12 trucks, as well as the siding for six trucks, would have to be constructed, making 8 it necessary to provide accommodation for a total of 18 trucks instead of six, which I regret g to say puts the matter out of the question, r Seeondly, as one of the G.W.R. officials pointed a out to me, we have already had one accident a on the line owing to a truck running away on c the gradient and under all circumstances the Directors are unable to reconsider the matter, ti I should like to bear testimony to the liberality a of Mr Evans, son of Mr Morgan Evans, of t( Oakford, himself still a staunch supporter of tl the new line although it does not at present hi go past his house. Mr Evans not only let us oj have the land for Aberayron station at a most reasonable price, but when more land was needed, nobly gave it at the same rate. Lastly, when Mr Yockney proposed altering the fence, he agreed giving the Company more PJ frontage to the road and a better approach to the station, in exchange for an equal amount L( of land, close to the river and of less value, without extra payment. I trust that when next the County Council meet, the rail be running regularly to Aberayron. We have given the usual month's notice to the Board of Trade to inspect the line which we trust they will so do, and will find it—made as it is with rails of 751bs weight and good ballast—fit for heavy traffic and well worthy of the support which the County Council and the Local Authorities of Cardiganshire have so afforded it. Thanking the County Council for its most valuable help throughout these long years, and congratulating them on the practical com- pletion of a scheme, only made possible by the patriotic assistance of its members and of the Local Authorities. The second letter was from Mr Inglis, general manager of the G.W.R. Company, and was as follows Mr Yockney has informed me of a difficulty which the Lampeter and Aberayron Light Railway Company have encountered owing to some of the landowners requiring at Penwern (Talsarn Road) accommodation in excess of the stopping place provided for in the working agreement between this Company and the Light Railway Company. At what I under- stand to be your request I am writing to say that at the time the working agreement was- being entered into the question of the accom- modation to be provided at the several points on the line, including Penwern, was carefully enquired into, when it was considered that in view of the unsatisfactory physical conditions obtaining at Penwern, and the fact that the provision of accommodation for all descriptions I of traffic was contemplated at Ystrad, the- circumstances at Penwern were such as would be adequately provided for by a stopping-placs for passengers. Some time since letters were received here from certain interested land- owners, and the opportunity was taken Of reconsidering the matter, but no necessity was seen for disturbing the arrangements already arrived at.

REFUSED FOR LIFE tf*%A F" INSURANCE BEFORE USiNG DOAN'S PILLS: PASSED BY TWO DOCTORS AFTERWARDS. JMf.
