They carried out 8. °osting £ 100 and £ 150 and paid for them current account, with the result that the vf>lvj*te wbs constantly exceeded. All works in- a cost of £ 100 and more should be met by yea,rg8 °f a loan repayable in a certain number of Mr Parry's suggestion to have an estimate 8reed to. R THE HARBOUR SCHEME. Qe<jtj^P°rt of a council in committee stated that Mr Sc^enfe' distant to Mr Douglass, the harbour *«vera? engineer, attended, and was asked to reccrd p°iot Points in preparing detailed plans. One L c *ai ^as desirability of providing facilities rlalta impounded level of water in the inner our during the summer months another to t 4eresearea of the proposed island to twelve an°ther to reclaim land on the south side to the nydon direction.—The Clerk reported as %„l] £ rrrt "gementa made to quarry stone from the 0u Estate for the scheme. MR ADDITIONAL REVENUE. ^'Uct.Qamuel Lloyd asked whether the Water a^0thr Wa8 8erve demand notes on farmers wk° been supplied with water for ji °yd Rir e years and had not yet paid ?—Mr T. *fter some discussion, proposed that ootes should be served.—Mr Stimuel Lloyd N'conded the proposition, which was agreed to, the Mayor stating that somegof the parties were wait- ing the service of the notices with a view to im- mediate payment. CORPORATION STABLES. I Alderman H. P. Jones moved that the Council should erect S'i bles on the Maes. They were now paying £ 25 a year in rent and other expenses. Granting that stables cost E300, this would only mean £ 12 a year interest.—Alderman Anthony believed the Council were agreed as to the advis- ability of erecting stables. A resolution bad been passed to erect stables and plans prepared. All that was wanted was to determine upon the site.— The Surveyor said he could not find the plans.— Mr R. 1. Parry Where is the money to come from ?—The Mayor We must borrow.—Alderman Anthony sugge«ted that the Roads and Tramways Committee should report on the question of site. -Mr J. E. Hughes stiti the town was in a state of transition. Was it advisable to spend £ 300 on new stables now when, probably, in a few years much more commodious buildings would be neces- sary?-Alderman Anthony You can bring that point forward at the Committee.-Mr W. S. Jones seconded the suggestion of Alderman Anthony and it was adopted. THE ALLOTMENTS PROBLEM. In accordance with notice, Mr R. I. Parry drew attention to the allotments question. At the outset, he asked leave to correct a wrong im- pression on the part of some members. At the last meeting, he said that the aIlottees would have a perfect right to re-frect the doors in spite of the Council. The meaning to be attached to the words in spite" ought to be plain, but some of the members had taken upon themselves to say that he aid they would re-erect the doors in order to spite" the Counci.! Proceeding, he said on ex- amination of theo nuK book, he found that there had been a balance due to the bank from the Allotment Managers of E89. Recently, however, 912 had been paid, reducing the balance to ;C77. He did not say that blame attached to the present management, but he should like to know how the adverse balance came about. If Alderman Anthony, the chairman of the Managers, would kindly ex- plain the position, he would not move a resolution that doy.-Alderman Anthony With pleasure. Proceeding, he said one reason for the adverse balance was because of a substantial sum owing by an ex-councillor. He added that great diffi- cnlty was experienced in securing a plot of land for allotments, but at last they succeeded in getting a plot from Mr Assheton Smith. The land was acknowledged not to be good, but at a public meeting, at which some forty intending allottees attended, the latter said they would be quite satisfied with the plot. But now the intend- ing allottees who came up to scratch and took allotments, grumbled at the amount demanded in rent. Some refused to pay and bad to be put in County Court. Others promised to pay and did not. The ex-councillor he had named had paid E12 on the eve of the last election, but he still owed a large sum. One allottee who owed £ 14 had decamped and could no be traced.—Mr R. I. Parry said the Act did not justify more ex- penditure thau could be met by receipts. That was the reason why he called attention to the matter. He thanked Mr Anthony for the ex- planation. He hoped that the Managers would take active steps forthwith to improve the financial position.—Mr A. I. Parry inquired whether it waa not understood that legal pro- ceedings were to be instituted against the ex- councillor unlets he paid at least £ 15 ?—The ClQrk @a.id he did not understand that. He understood that proceedings were to be taken if a substantial amount was not paid on account. After the £ 12 had been paid, an allotment man- ager came and told him that there would be no need to take proceedings.—In the conversation which ensued relative to taking legal proceedings against all defaulters, the Clerk stated that there were warrants of execution against several allottees.—In the result, it was understood that the allotment managers would meet soon and pre- pare a report to submit to the Council. Mr J. E. Hughes suggested that Mr R. 1. Parry shouid take his place on the Allotments Committee. He knew nothing about the work and had not attended a meeting since his appointment. In fant. he had onlv received one notice of a meet- ing and he could no", conveniently attend. Alderman Anthony; This Committee seems to be avoided like a man fcfflicted with smallpox. (Laughter.)—Mr R. I. Parry deolined to take Mr Hughes's place and appealed to the latter to do an he could to attend the meetings in future. BAKEHOUSES. The Clerk said the new Factory and Workshops Act gave the Council authority to tiup-rintevd bakehouses, etc. He suggested that the Sanitary Committee should look into the iratter This was agreed to.—The Council sat about an hour and-a- half.

She had received a letter from the Secretary of Lloyd's Patriotic Fund respecting a member of the Imperial Yeomanry residing at Derwen, Denbighshire, who had been invalided home and desiring to know whether the man needed assistance.

BETHESDA.
BETHESDA. Saturday Was generally regarded as a crucial day in connection with the Penrhyn quarries dis- pute. No efforts were made to stop the procession organised by the strikers, and in the evening the mass meeting passed off quietly. Mr William Jones, M.P., condemned the window smashing on New Year's Eve, and counselled the men to restrain their tempers under trying circumstances. Mr Daniel, organiser of the Quarrymen's Union, also deprecated the window breaking, but contended that the offenders had merely followed the teaching of Mr Balfour and Mr Chamberlain, who coun. tenanced such action at Birmingham and Scar- borough.

.FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. WELSH CUP—THIRD ROUND. PORTMADOC v. ABERYSTWYTH. More than ordinary interest huog round this encounter at Portmadoc on Saturday last. It was the fourth time for the teams to meet this season. The first game was a friendly at Aberystwyth when the result was a diaw of one goal each, Then they were drawn against one anotner in the third round of the Welsh Cup competition, Port- madoc naving the choice of ground. The game ended in a draw of two goals each, and the second attempt made ac Aberystwym likewise culminated in a draw, each side scoiing once. As a result it was no surprise to see close upon a thousand people assembled at the Traeth, Portmadoc, on Saturday to witness the third battle, and unquestionably had the weathtr not been so threatening there would have been a much larger crowd. But the weather did not previn:. many inhabitants from coming to see a game of football U r the first time. There was even a fair sprinkling of the fair sex, including a moihtr with her babe in her arms. The small boy was very largely represented. The youngsters managed to gain admission hp hnnk or bv crook." although surreptitious g.s was rendered difficult by reason of a police ffio, r keeping a vigilant eve on the spot where the boy generally works his way in without ve bei, g put to the inconvenience of being called upon to pay. Rain fell heavily during the latter part of the week, tha downpour being almost continuous from Friday morning until about an hour before he game started. It was a blessing that it ceased falling at that time, for the condi- tions under which the match was decided were trying to say the least. Ducks might have enjoyed themselves on the Traeth, but it was no place for ftJotballtcrs. The playing portion had the appear- ance of a rrud pond pardy dried up. The whole length on one side was covered with water to the extent of four or five inches, whilst on the other side and in close proximity to the goal mouth there were pools almost sufficiently deep to float a boat, Mr Hibbott, Newtown, the referee, gave the visitors the option of postponing the game, but they elected to proceed. Anything approaching scientific play waq of course rendered impossible, but occasionally in the less slimy area in the centre of the field some of the exponents displayed some brilliant tactics. What under ordinary conditions would have ended in a splendid run resolved as a rule into a farce, the sprinter having to splash through the water and sometimes falling headlong into it. Barring the goalkeepers, and they were far from enjoying complete immunity from the wet, all the players were soon after the start with their clothes soaking. The teams faced one another as follovi,g Portmadoc-Goal, Bob Jones backs, Roland Jones and Roland Hught-s halves, G. Davies (capt.),*J. R. Jones, and Robert Jones forwards, R. D. Roberts, M. Jones, Owen Jones, W. M. Jones, and R. Ll. Jones linesman, Mr H. Hughes. Aberystwyth—Goal, Claude White backs, Joel Rowlands and Oswald Green halves, Bevao, J. Davies, and D. M. Evans, forwards, Tom Rees, Teddy Evans, Ivor Evans, George Barson, and Oswald James linesman, Mr J. Bevan. Defending the town goal, Aberyetwyth opened with dash, but the water and the opposing backs made progress difficult. Moseley Jones and Owen Jones eventually secured and in spite of the state of the ground forged ahead with speed. Defeating the halves, they sent on to R. D. Roberts, who forced Joel Rowlands to (concede a corner, which proved abortive. Beautiful play on the part of Ivor Evans and Oswald James gave Aberystwyth a chance, and a hard shot by the former caused Bob Jones to handle. An overhead shoe by Ivor Evans two minutei later sailed a little to one side of the upright. Two corners in succession for Portmadoc, given by Joel Rowlands, were not turned to account, and an attempt to change the scene of operations by the Aberystwyth forwards ended in two of the latter sprawling in one ot the pools. At last they got used more or less to the slush and two rasping shots from Barson and Oswald Jan.es gave Bob Jones a far from easy time, but he was quite equal to the calls made upon him. Owen Jones and W. M. Jones having made a temporary incursion to the Aberystwyth territory, play settled down for close upon fifteen minutes in the Portmadoc er.d. Shot upon shot was sent with lightning speed into jthe fortress but to no purpose, Bob Jones being here, there, and every- where, whilst the two backs and the three halves were playing a steady, useful game. It took them all their time, however, to circumvent the raids organised by Ivor Evans, whose scientific and masterly play reminded one of the erst- while Aberystwyth player, Morris, who is now with Notts Forest. Aberystwyth ultimately got through, Teddy Evans scoring from a foul. Hardly had play been resumed, ere Barson .•ir.d J. R. J'lnes came into accidental collision and the former was so badly injured that he had to be carried on a stretcher off the field. The homesters settled down at last, and W. M. Jones and R. Lloyd Jones took the globe close to the Aber- ystwyth citadel and the latter sent a clinkirg shot against the net. fhe Portmadoc forwards continued to pester the Aberystwyth goal and their efforts were ultimately rewarded. The two Aberystwyth backs let a screw shot go past them, depending on White. The latter w.;nt out some twenty yards and failed in his attempt to seize the ball. Ere he had recovered himself, Moseley, who was coming along like an express, ran past him and, amidst tremendous cheering, placed the globe between the uprights. Barson hearing the cheers, despite the protests of the medical man who attended him, insisted upon re-eotering the scene of hostilities, and although he did his best his injury hampered him to such an extent as to make him of littie use. The Abcrystwyth forwards made li, cculein efforts to score whilst che wind was in their favour, but although T. Rees and Teddy Evans sent in shots which might have nonplussed an ordinary goal- keeper, Bob Joues punted them out with apparent ease. Fed by J. R. Jones, R. D. Roberts, who temporarily joined R. Ll. Jones on the left, made matters lively for the Aberystwyth defence, whilst R. Ll. Jones all but beat White. Half- time arrived with honours even. On restarting, Moseley nearly scored in the first minute, White experiencing difficulty in saving. An effort to get through by Oswald James, Barson, and Ivor Ifivans having been baulked by Roland Hughes and Roland Jones, who were playing a fine game, the Portmadoc forwards, ably backed by their three halves, laid siege to the Aberystwyth citadel. The visiting defence worked hard to keep them clear of the entrance to the fortress, Bevan and Michael Evans being very prominent. But try as they would, they could not keep out Moseley and R. D. Roberts, the former wriggling past them and the latter showing them a clean pair of heels time and again. Shots wers simply raining in upon White, but the latter showed himself a competent custodian. Not only did he skilfully parry the onslaughts, but almost invariably he drove the ball well out. Ivor Evans, Teddy Evans, and Oswald James succeeded by some means or other in changing the venue to the Portmadoc en, but they had not gone far ere they were sent to the right about by the halves, J. R. Jones completing the rout by transferring the ball to Moseley and R. D. Roberts. When the latter were in motion, it meant danger to the Aberystwythians and the defence bore down upon them with speed. When pressed the right wingers gave to Owen Jones, but the latter who is a pretty and skilful dribbler after evading an opponent could not make up his mind to whom to pass with the result that a eolden opportunity was lost. Smart tactics on the part of Ivor Evans aided by Teddy Evins gave Bob Jones, who seemed pining for a little work, a chance to warm himself, but almost immediately play became again confined to the Aberystwyth quarter. About fifteen minutes from time,several Aberystwythians showed signs of exhaustion, whilst the Madocites on the other hand, benefiting from the hard training they had undergone, were almost to a man as fresh as daisies. It became clear that nothing but extraordinary luck would save from defeat the representatives of the town whence the cup was taken two years back. To R. D. Roberts, whose consistent brilliant form entitles him to in elusion in one of the teams at the international trial match, fell the honour of notching the decisive point. Allowing for the wind, he sent a superb shot from the extreme right. It went flying pas four or five players and, grazing Joel Rowlands, who essayed to relieve, went spinning into the net, White, owing to the ball touching Rowlands, having no chance whatever to save* espera e efforts to equalise were made by some <;f the visitors, whilst the others contented themselves by shoot- ing oat of play with the view apparently of avert- ing further disaster. J. R. Jones and R. D. Roberts nearly supplemented the ecore just before, time, but when the whistle blew, Ivor Evans was manoeuvring in the Portmadoc end. The homesters, who thus won by two goals to one, will journey on Saturday to Carnarvon to play the local: eleven against whom they are drawn in the fourth round.
MACHYNLLETH
MACHYNLLETH MERRIE COON CONCEP.T.-It is not correct, as stated, that the "Merrie Goons" drew lots in order to decide to whom the proceeds of the next concert should be given, it being unanimously agreed that it should be for the benefit of the Hospital. The concert is to be held on this (Thurs- day) night, when an attractive programme is to be gone through. OBITUARY.—The death took place on Tuesday night of Mrs Humphreys, wife of the late Mr David Humphreys, railway carrier. Deceased was a native of Derwenlas. Her husband died a few months ago and this and other trouble and affliction which came to hei recently no doubt had an effect upon her health. She leaves several children, of whom three are at home. DEATH OF A NONAGENARIAN.—Mr David Lewis. Penrallt, one of the oldest men in the town, died on Monday in his ninetieth year. He was a native of Machynlleth and his lived in the town all his life. The oldest tenant on Fronygog estate, he had lived seventy years in the house in which he died. Deceased was a staunch Churchman and Conserva- tive, and never missed going to the polling booth on election days. He was a trombone player in the old town band which used to play at Aberyst- wyth and other voting centres during politicol elections in the pre ballot days. The funeral took place on Thursday. DEATH OF MR A. HARRIES —The death occurred on Monday after a long illness of Mr Alfred Harries, formerly stationmaster at this place. He was forty-four years of age. Having been from his youth in the service of the Cambrian Railways Com- pany. be came to Machynlleth as stationmaster about eleven years ago. A collapse in his nervous sytitem compelled him to relinquish his duties three years ago and since then he had been quite unable to work. In his illness and enforced inactivity he was the subject of general sympathy. A few weeks bock his illness took a severer turn and he died all stated. Deceased was respected by the employees under him as well as by his emptoyers and was distinguished by his zeal and activity in the performance of his dubies, while travellers found in him a courteous and intelligent official. He was a remarkably good gardener and during his leisure in Moat Lane and other stations, of which he had charge during one time and another, he devoted much attention and skill to the beautifying of the surroundings by means of plants and flowers. He leaves a widow and several sons and daughters who are sincerely sympathised with. URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL, Tr, FSDAY, JANU- ARY 7TH.—Present: Mr Edmund Gillart, chair- man Mr J. M. Breesp, vice-chairman Messrs W. M. Jones, Richard Owen, John Thomas, John Pugh, David Smith, Evan Reese, T. Parsons, Richard Gillart; with Messrs John Rowlands, clerk; D. Phillip Jones, assistant clerk Dr A. O. Daviei, medical officer Messrs Johu Joues, surveyor and inspector and D. Davies Williams, rate collector. THE FACTORIES ACT. A circular letter was read from the Home Office with regard to the Factories Act and stating that certain powers of seeing that the provisions of the Act were put into operation were vested in the Council. LOCATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OFFICES. MACHYNLLETH'S CHANCE. A letter was read from Mr Ivor James. registrar of the University of Wales, stating that in accord- ance with the promise made five years ago, the question of the location of the University offices would come before the Court at their next meeting. —The Chairman said the matter was then actively taken up with the hope that Machynlleth would be in the running. There vv-ts a petition prepared, and as far as he could recollect the matter was after- wards left in abeyance. If there was any intention to take the matter up again, it had better be done at once.—Mr Richard Owen asked whether the matter could be deferred, so that the members might think it over. It was an important matter. —The Chairman Seriously, do you think there is any chance of securing the offices for Machynlleth ? -Mr Owen I do not, myeelf.-The Chairm-tu If there is no reasonable possibility it is no use wasting time. -,Nlr John Pugh said some of the towns offered a free site and a grant. Of course, Machynlleth could not do that. Still, they might renew their application. He suggested that the Committee which drew up the memorial before should take the matter in hand, if they were still alive.—The Chairman Alive to business do you mean? (Laughter.)—Mr Pugh B >tb. — Mr R. Owen proposed that another live person—Mr! Pugh-be added to the Committpe. (Laughter.) —It was then agreed that the old Committee, with the addition of Mr Pugh, snould take this matter in hand. THE COUNCIL AND CESSPOOLS. The Streets and Sanitary Committee reported that they had considered a memorial from the inhabitants living near the Barracks protesting against the uae of a cesspool in connection with the sanitary arrangements of that place. Th" Surveyor and Medical Officer were requested to report on the matter.—The Medical Officer said he had visited the p'ace and quite agreed with the person who had petitioned the Council that the sewage should not be allowed to run into the cess- pool, which was in a filthy condition. He recom mended that the water closets should be con- nected with the main sew^r and he believ(-d fr, m the conversation he had had with Mr Davies that this was practicable.—On the motion of Mr Rd. Gillart, seconded by Mr John Pugh, it was docidei to close the cesspool and a committee was appointed to see what could be done with regard to con- necting with the main sewer.—The Committee also reported on the privies of certain cottages in Doll. iitreet.-The Medical Oiffcer said che state of things there was abominable and it would be a source of great danger if allowed to continue.—The Chair- man asked whether the Inspector had served a notice as instructed, so that the Council could take proceedings ifnecessary?--The Surveyor: Verbal notice.—The Chairman (impatiently) Verbal notice. You know very well that verbal notice will not do.—The Surveyor said he was out of printed notices at the time.—The Chairman Then you should have written one.—The Surveyor You have passed a resolution that I must serve printed notices.—It was decided to serve formal notice immediately. -With regard to a house in Mald«vyn-place, reported upon by the Committee, the Surveyor said the cesspool had been cleaned out and the place was new quite clean.—The Medical Offcer said it would be in the same state again in a week. They should have a proper con- nection with the drain.—Mr Richard Owen What is condemned in other places is allowed here. —The Surveyor said the place was too low to drain into the main sewer.—After some further discus- sion, the Chairman said the Council had nothing to do but to insist that the proper provision was made for the sauitary requirements of the house. It was for the owners to find the means, provided the main swer was within the prescribed distance, as appeared to be the case here.—Mr Richard Owen But if it is bslow the level of the drain, they cannot do it.—The Chairman said it was for the owners to find the level.-Mr John Pugh proposed that the owners be required to connect.— Mr T. Parsons seconded the proposition and it was -agreed to, Mr Richard Owen voting against. PUBLIC LIGHTING. The Committee recommended that the Gas Company be requested to extend the miin to Iorwerth-road so that) that portion of the town might be lighted with ga" The Chairman There was a similar request made some time ago to the Gas Company, I believe.—Mr John Pugh said the circumstances had altered since then. More houses had been built. But was it worth while doing this in view of the immediate progpect of having electric light ? (Laughter.)—The Chairman thought that as several houses had been built in that district und the new board school was being erected there, it was a matter which the Gas Company should take into their serious considera- tion if only in their own interest. He proposed that a deputation should wait upon the Directors. -Mr Pugh seconded the proposition and it was carried.—The Chairman. Vice-Chairman, and the Clerk were appointed a deputation.

The Streets Committee further reported that they had had under consideration a proposal which had been made to make a new street from Ma;'ii- gwyn-street in the direction of Graiii^c! and he Clerk was directed to obtain further information to lay before the Council.—The Chairman The sug- gestion has been made to me that this matter should be dealt with in committee.—Mr John Thomas proposed that the matter be considered in committee.—Mr John Pugh did not see why the matter should not be discussed openlY.-Mr Rd. Gillart proposed that the matter be discussed in open Council, and Mr Thomas withdrawing his proposition, this was agreed to.—The Clerk ex- Elained that a certain ratepayer called on him efore the meeting of the Committee on Friday and mentioned a scheme .which was on hand for opening up a new street from Maeagwyn-street in the direction of Graigfach and Penrallt. He pro- mised to place the matter before the Committee and he did so, but as the information was very meagre he was instructed to request this parson to write a letter to the Council explaining the scheme atid stating what was the nature of the request they had to mak to the Council. He had not received any letter, but he had seen rather parties in con nection with the matter and he was given to understand that the scheme would be carried out, providing certain persons fell in with the arrangement which was proposed.—The Chairman What do they with the Council to do?—The Clerk said the Cross Pipes had to be bought in order to carry the scheme out. Part of the land which would be required to con- tinue the road had been promised and in regard to other land required the owners had not yet been approached. The promoters wished to know whether the Council would assist financially and also whether, after the land was obtained and the road cut out, they would make it up.—The Chair- man Then the Council are expected to contribute towards the cost of the land and make the road.- The Clerk They wished to be informed whether the Conncil would do that.—Mr Evan Reese pro- posed that the matter be allowed to lie on the table. The promoters had not even complied with their request to embody their application in writing and send it to the Council.—Mr John Pugh did not think the Council should dismiss it lika that. For all they knew thore was a chance of a great public improvement being carried out" While he would not have the Council to pledge themselves in any way, they might ask the promoters to place their scheme before the Council eo that th-y might consider it.—Mr Evan Reese: They have been asked to do so, but they have not done it.—Mr Rd. Gillart said the scheme was practically in its infancy and he did not think the Council should dismiss it without seeing what it was. For the present, he thought the Council should wait until they received a formal communication from these periiona.-The Chairman thought the Council would be prepared to give every support they could I legally to the scheme, but at the same time in taking over roads it devolved upon the owners of the adjoining land to put the road first of all in a satisfactory state of repair. However, at present the Council were unable to come to any decision because they had not got the proposal before them. -Mr John Pugh proposed that the Clerk should write asking the promoters to lay their proposal before the Council. He thought the Council should not remain passive in a question of that kind, but to give encouragement to people to come forward.—Mr David Smith seconded the proposition.—Mr Richard Gillart I don't think we should go after them. It is for them to come to us.-Tiie Chairman said the Coun- cil would not be going after them. The request had already beeu made, and they w<re simply asking them to state exactly what they wanted the Council to do.—Mr Richard Gillart proposed as an amendment that the Council should wait for an application from the promoters and Mr Evan Reese seconded.—On a division, Mr Pugh's proposition was carried. FINANCE. The Finance Committee recommended payments amounting to £127 Os 6d. Among these, the Clerk said, was the last instalment of the loan of £ 150.— The Collector reported that the amount of rates outstanding at the last meeting was JE366 13a Od, and there had sinee been collected dE29 4s 9d.—In reply to the Chairman, the Collector said that there was 917 odd still due of the first instalment of the rate.—The Collector said considering that it was nearly the end of the financial year and a large amount of the rate, about E337 wis -,till outstand- ing, he desired to know whether the Council wanted him to compile a list of those who would be in arrear for the next meeting of the Council ?— The Chairman Yes. It is necessary for the Council to know how much we can recover before making the new estimate. It is needless to impress upon the Collector the necessity for making every effort to get the rates in as soon as possible.—In reply to a question, the Clerk said the Couccil had already had a list of those in arrear with the first instalment.—Mr John Puerh thought if the list was handed round the members, it would do some good. (Laugh ter.)- -The Collector was instructed to pre- sent a list of those in arrear at the next meeting of the Council.-The Council then rose. BOARD OF GUARDIANS, WEDNESDAY.—Present Mr David Evans, chairman, presiding; Mr E. M. Jones, vice-chairman Messrs William Jones, Thomas James, J. H. Evans, R. Morgan, R. Hughes, Lewis Lewis, E. M. Jones, Edward Hughes, Ellis Hughes, Edward Lewis, Hugh Evans, Rufus Own, Morris Francis, and John Jones, with Messrs David Evans, clerk D. Morgan, assistant clerk and the relieving officers. Statistics. -Out-relief administered during the past fortnight, Machynlleth district, pl'r Mr John Jones, relieving officer, f22 14s to 83 paupers Darowen district, per Mr Dl. Howell, relieving officer, E35 5s to 123 paupers. Number of vagran, s relieved during the past fortnight, 109 corres- ponding period past year 71. Number of inmates, 25 last year 23. Vagranti.—Mr Thomas James called attention to the fact that on some occasions during the last month there were no btones for the tramps to break. The proper weight of stones should be given to each vagrant and a record should be kept of the quantity broken every month.—In reply to a question, the Master said at times they were unable to get a sufficient quantity of stones, but the vagrants were given something else to do. About four loads had been broken during tho month. — Mr Edward Hughes said the tramps were coming there and living at the expense of the rate- payers. Four loads a month was very unsatisfac- tory. He proposed that the matter be taken into consideration by tht. Visiting Committee.—This was agreed to. Humphrey Morris.-The Master reported that Humphrey Morris, an inmate, left the House without permission and came back drunk.—The Master was instructed to take legal proceedings against him the next time this inmate did a trick of that sort. Roast Beet v. Geese-The Clerk, reporting to the Board the proceedings on Christmas Day, said the opinion of the inmates was taken as to which they would prefer next Chriatpiae-beef or geese, and the inmates voted unanimously in favour of geese. John, the English-speaking inmate, did not know what was going on and on being asked which he liked best, he c-aid, Well. Mr Evans, indeed they are buth best." (Laughter.)—A vote of thanks was passed, on the proposition of the Chairman, to those who had contributed to the enjoyment of the inmates on Christmas Day. Vaccination Fees.-A. letter was read from the Cardigan Union asking the Board's co operation in securing an amendment in the Vaccination Act. They viewed with alarm the great increase in the vaccination fers and expenses and asked the Local Government Board to initiate such statutary modifications of the Act as would enable guardians to re-establish vaccination stations so as to do away with the necessity of domiciliary vaccination and that the Board would reduce the present schedule of fees allowed to public vaccinators and vaccina- tion officers.—Mr Ed. Hughes proposed that a resolution to this effect be passed -Mr Morris Franc's seconded the proposition and it was agreed to. The. Aizlit.-The Clerk stated t"at the audit had been held during the past fortnight and all the officers passed, so to speak, with distinction. No fault had been found with the way the books of any of the officials had been kept during the last four years. Ocills.-It was stated that some of the parishes were in arrear with the calls.-Mr Rufus Owen thought it was very unfair that, whereas some of the parishes paid promptly, others lagged behind. The Board ought to lay down the law to the over- -eerig.-It was decided to take proceedings unless all the overseers in arrears paid up forthwith. Rural (,Iouitcil. -A meeting of the Council was held in the afternoon, Mr Edward Hughes, chair- man, presiding. The Surveyor (Mr Richard Williams) reported that the bridge crossing the old Corris road and used by the Llwyngwern Quarry Company was in a dangerous state. The Psnybont bridge had been washed away by the flood.-The Surveyor was instructed to write to the Quarry Company with regard to the condition of the former bridge.—Consideration of the Inspector's report in which urgent matters were dealt with, was adjourned for a fortnight.—The Clerk re- ported that the audit had been held during the past fortnight and the Auditor was quite satisfied with the way the books had been kept.

Mr JOHN ROBERTS, Perfeddnant, Towyn, show judge, writes:— You will be pleased to learn that a bullock of mine, which had oeen suffering for a long time from consumption, is getting on splendidly under treatment with your Oil. He is fattening nicety. To-day a cattle-dealer from Carnarvonshire offered to buy it, whereas abcut six months ago be was condemned to death. The experiment of your Oils has proved most successful and saved his life. I met to-day one of the largest farmers in the neiirhbonrhood who, on my recommendation some time ago, began to use your Oils. He said 'that he would not be without it on his premises in the future, and finds that it fully justifies all its claims.' It is outdoing all its rivals as regards its effects, besides being cheaper and applicable to so many more diseases. Lady Londonderry's FARM BAILIFF testifies:- Plas Machynlleth, North Wales. 'I have used Mr Morris Evans's Oils' in cases of difficult parturition both in cows and ewes with good results, also for diarrhoea in calves and lambs. Whilst having such fine a»cringent quali- ties, they also possess in an eminent degree sooth- ing tonic and restorative elements, and thereby giving ease from pain. For wounds and swellings they are very good. No farmer or owner of stock should be without them. Please forward another case at your earliest convenience." T. CARRUTHERS, Farm Bailiff.
