The grocer's shop of Richard Hookway, Pontypridd, was broken into on Saturday morning and money taken from the till. Later in the day two men were arrested on suspicion by P.C. Lee, both being wanted by the Swansea police. As there was not sufficient evidence to con- nect them with the robbery they were not detained on that charge.

In the past few weeks the place has almost been in darkness, candles having to be used in several business premises. The new owner of the works is vir. J. H. Silcox, managing director of the NaTcertn Gas, Coke, and Coal Co., who intends mak- ing several improvements. An excellent concert was given at Carmel Chapel, Pontlliw, on Saturday.

- LLANDOVERY.
LLANDOVERY. BOWDDWRETrES. (By "Dyfri.") Well, the municipal election is now an event of the past, and the candidate who failed to be returned has since received the oondol,ement of many a ratepayer. Let us hopa the quartette of returned "horses" will not forget their stable COffi- paiiiomis, "Ratepayer," "Economy," and ■■Efficiency." An oocasional "kick" by seme of the lethargic and speechless members on the g body will do no harm. Mr. John Nicholas was naturally sorely dis- appointed at being compelled to withdraw his candidature, in oontiequence of being an elective auditor. That he would have proved a very strong I candidate is beyond any shadow of doubt. It is highly probable that after the recent "rumpus" in some quarters, roundabouts will be seen on the roads ere long. I fail to see whv a certain councillor should alone be blamed for the prohibition. A resolution was passed, and therefore to all intents and purposes the whole Council were aiders and abettors thereto. By all those whom it may concern, let this fact be j digested. j Well, the Council have determined to prooeed with the Meat Market renovations j without calling a meeting of ratepayers to- gether to discuss the topic. Rough luck, eh ? Wo a.r?. however, promised and assured though that the rates will not be increased a penny. That's one consolation anyhow, and let us hope such,will prove a solid fact. Mr. G-eorga Williams h:>s Ficured the borough tolls once more, and the Counciel; are fortunate in securing such a capital lessee. It soams a pity to view the brass instru- ments of the now defunct Town Band hang- ing in the Town Hall, practically e>poiling through want of u-^e. One thought it was decided to cover them with green baize? Motorists beware of Pontrhydycair." The spot cost one JB26 and more at the last countrv court, simply because the horn was mot sounded. Expensive negligence that, Tho Llandingat Guild entertainment has be:1 fixed for the 23rd instant. A rare treat is anticipated. No loess than five prisoners of the vagrant class were brought before tho Bench list Thursday. Two were W elshirven, two fiom -,I ish t'.e Emerald Isle, and the other an English- man. Sergeamt Deans, who arrested them, being a Scot-tie, the gathering was quite a country representation, eh? The Town Council boasts of being a pro- gressive body, and yet we.ds are allowed to grow in the Square. The lattor's growth is very progressive indeed. LLANDOVERY TOWN COUNCIL MEETING. The adjourned meeting of the Town j Council was held at the- Town Hall on Wed- nesday last, under the presidency of the Mayor (Aid. C. P. Lewis, L land in gat). There were also present:—Aldermen 1. W atkins, Tycerrig, and D. Saunders Thomas. Belmont House; Councillors T. Roberts, Crown Stores; G. Morton. Er<Ùi11le R. Thomas, Mafeking Villa; H. liavard, North- ampton House; D. Pcrrott, Wat-erloo House; S. H. Price, Tra.fa.lgar House; and F. Wall, New road; together with the Town C'lerk (Mr H. Alfred Thomas.) CONGRATULATION TO CARDIFF'S CONGRATULATION TO CARDIFF'S L.RD MAYOR. The Mayor remarked that there was one thing he would like to mention before tak- ing the usual business. He thought it. in- tprested them, but it oertainly interested Cardiff and Wales. As thev all were aware, the King had been pleased to confer upon Cardiff the very signal honour of making it a city, and its mayor a lord mayor. The honour"reflected very highly upon Cardiff,! and it also reflected upon them very closely indeed, because it might be interesting to know that one of the pioneers of the great- ness of Cardiff was a LLanddausaint man. a.nd a near relative of his (the Mayor). He loft Llanddausaint for Glamorganshire and started a coal business, opening the Blaen- garw ar.d Ferndale Collieries. He referred to Mr. Dd. Davies. of Bb/iigwair. Aberd'ire, the grandfather of Mr. Fred L. Davies, the present chairman of the Coal Association, (Hear, hear.) Cardiff was now the capital j ar;d metropolis of Wales, an honour which I was highly deserved, as there was not a more progressive town in the Kingdom. He had already sent a wire the previous day, ■ congratulating t.ho Lord Mayor, but he mov.r moved that they, as a Council, pass a vote of congratulation to his lordship and the city of Cardiff. (Hear, hear.) Aid. T- Watkins said he had very great j pleasure in seconding, and was very glad the Mayor had thought of it. Llandovery was nevertheless an older botrough than Cor- dis. their charter dating back to 1400, yet, he was more than sorry to say. that they would have to wait years before the same honour was conferred upon Llandovery. Mr. D. rerrott supported, and expressed a. hope that the ancient borough would take a loaf out of Cardiff's book. Cardiff was: full of energy and push, and evem to its ritizens was the mosrt go-ahead place in Wales. The motion was unanimously carried, and the Clerk was instructed to convey the same. MEAT MARKET REPA'IRR. The Mayor stated that the Committee ap- pointed to go into the Meat Market reoiova- ion, had met on the previous Wednesday, and with the exception of one or two altera- tion!?. the plants and specifications submit/ted by the architect were agreed to. In answer to queues, the architect siaid that some of the aftierations suggested by the Committee were complete restating, and a. new weather vane. The Mayor Riid that :111 rubbish would belong to the Corporation. After the ten- ders were received, an application could be mncLr to i.he Local Government Board for a loan to spread over is lengthy n p~r>d as possible. A commissioner would possibly bo sent down, and he thought there could be no harm in asking him to extend the reo- pavmeln't of the (Jattle Market loan as well. In reply to Aid. Thomas, the Clerk stated the Market and Fair's Act could be put into opera,tion immediately proper accommoda- tion for the public was made by the Council. Subject to this being done, there was no doubt but t"i"Lt the Council could compel persons to go into the Market building with goods. Mr. T. Roberts reminded the Council that when the money was borrowed for the pur- chase of the Meat Market building, they then promised the commissioner to renovate it. The Mayor So, practically, we are under an obligation. If the work was carried out- it would undoubtedly be an improvement to the town, and we ought to be as progressive e, ii, I cus possible, instead of sticking in the same place. Mr. G. Morton said there was a good deal cf complaining by tho ratepayers on tho score of expenditure, but. at the same time he failed to see what the building was worth in its present state. Ho considered it would be to the ratepayers' interest to get the buildme horoughly repaired, so as to get.. the public inside. The Mayc-r It would prove a good source of income in time. Mr. D. Perrott thought- the Council could not be progressive unless they spent a little money. The Mavor said he did not think it would be necessary to increase the rates a. penny, as the water works loan was decreasing, (Hear, hear.) Mr. R. Thomas: Some rooms above the building in the shape of shops would m- j crease the revenue. The Mayor replied that the matter had been thrashed out before and proved not a feasible thing. Mr. T. Watkins quite agreed, as there were plenty of shops m Llandovery already, without rfid Corporation, setting any up. The shopkeepers already contributed largely to their reve/irue. He moved the adoption of the Committee's report. Aid. D. S. Thomas seconded, and t'he Mayor declared the motion carried.. Mr. J. Major (who was amongst the general public present at the meeting), said he attended as a delegate on behalf of the ratpayers, being appointed as such at a public meeting held on Saturday last. Some of the members here tittered. Mr. J. Major: You may laugh, but lj claim the privilege to address the meeting, Mr. U. Morton said that Mr. Major had been appointed at a properly constituted j meeting, and was perfectly within his rights to speak. Mr. T. Watkins: But we must be in order, as the question was closed before the dele- gate stood up. Mr. J. MajoT said that was not his fault, as he had asked a certain councillor to intro- duce him to the meeting. The Mayor granted the delegate permis- sion to speak on the subject. Mr. Major then urged the Council to with- hold their hands for the present from repair- ing th-' Meat Market, and if they termed themselves a progressive body, why not spend the money upon securing proper sanit- ary arrangements than upon that building. As none of tlie members had been returned to the Council on this question, he aisked them to call a public meeting of ratepayers before the project was prooeeded with. Mr. T. Watkins The Council only advo- cate the repairing of the Meat Market. Mr. D. S. Thomas hoped the ratepayers would benefit- from the repairing of the Meat Market, as it was anticipated that the re-nta.l of the tolls would be doubled in consequence. The original motion was again agreed to without dissent, and the Architect was di- rected to advertise for tender s in iiie j Cambrian" and other papers. BOROUGH TOLLS. Mr. George Williams, Bear Inn. was the only person, to tender for the tolls of the Corn and Meat Markets, and his price, namely L25 (inclusive of rates), was ac- J cepied. ADVERTISEMENT BOARDS. Mr. E. J. Morgan's offer of £ 1 for the use of the advertising boards for the ensuing years was likewise accepted. COMPLAINT RE HORSE FAIR. Mr. R. Thomas drew attention to the fact that rinee the horse fair. luId last Monday, manure had been allowed to remain on, the pavements in Queen-street. Tho Surveyor replied that there were two n;en clearing the roads as fast as possible. HORSE FAIR RECEIPTS. The Mayor remarked that it might be interesting for them to know that when the j horse fair was held in the field last October, the tolls realised £8 16s. 6d., and this year, being on the road, only J35 16s. 9d., or a dead loss to the Corporation of £ 5. Be- sides, to allow horses on the street was, in his opinion, dangerous, as he had himself been nearly knocked down bv an animal.. Mv. T. Watkins failed to see why the mat- ter should be cropped up, as it had been settled. Mr. T. Watkins thought it was hardly fair to compare onlv two fairs in successive years. Let them strike the average after twelve months' working. TABLE OF TOLLS. On the motion 01 Mr. T. Roberts, seconded by Mr. T. Watkins, it. was resolved that the seal of the Corporation be attached to the new table of tolls, as approved by the I/ocal Government. Board. COOKERY CLASSES., Mr. D. Saunders Thomas said that on belialf of Aid. J. R. James, he wished to place before the Council some correspondence from the County Education Authority, offer- ing to send an instructress in cookery to the town, provided an organizing committee was appointed that day. There would be no ex- pense upon u-e ratepayers or Corporation. 'The Mayor Tt is not a fact, that a cookery The Mayor It is not a fact, that a cookery

SWANSEA CHAPEL INNOVATION. A monthly musical service of Countess of Huntingdon's Church, Swansea, was held on Sunday evening. Rev. F. W.

He thought it was doing considerable good on the Sabbath. Miss Sarah Thomas, T.C.L. and Mr. Ivor Walters sang, Willie Richards played a. violin solo. There was an exceedingly large con- gregation.
-=-DROPSY, BRIGHT'S DISEASE…
-=- DROPSY, BRIGHT'S DISEASE AND HEART WEAKNESS. UNABLE TO WORK FOR 32 WEEKS. CURED BY VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC. Mr. John Macmiiian, 15, Commercia'- etreet, Bridgend, Perth, writes, June 30th, 1005 :At the beginning of June, 1904, I got a severe chill on the kidneys, and after 1 a long attendance of two doctors I was told it I was Bright's disease. I had also great weak- ness of the heart, and suffered terribly from drcpsv. When the first doctor stopped toning, we sent for another, but he had not JL-een attending me long, when he said there was not much hope; so I stopped his treat- ment and took Veno's Seaweed Tonic. That was in February last; since then it has done for me what two doctors did not do in nearly a. year. I was off work 32 v.ceks, but I am now able to continue mv work daily, and I am about as well as ever I was except for a little swelHug in the leg: Veno's Seaweed Tonic for purity and all- round potency has not its equal anywhere for kidney troubles, stomach, liver, and blood diseases; it strengthens, regulates, and restores the body to a healthy and vig- oicub state. Especially good for chronic constipation, indigestion and all kidney and heart affections. Price Is. lJ,d. and 2s. 9d. at Chemists everywhere.

-v SWANSEA GOLFERS AT DINNER
-v SWANSEA GOLFERS AT DINNER Honouring the Chief Club Sup- porters. At Hotel Metropole, Swansea, on Satur- day, a hundred of the Swansea Bay Golf Club sat down to their annual dinner. A pleasant time was spent—the menu was a choice one, the waiting excellent, the after- dinner speeches reminiscent Of links and caddies, and sweet smelling heather, and the enthusiasm unbounded throughout. The captain (Mr. H. Sutton) presided, and was supported by the High Sheriff (Mr. H. Eccles), Colonel Morgan, Mr. Roger Beck, Mr. E. Trubshaw (ex-president of the Welsh Golfing Union), the Hon. Odo Vivian, Mr. J. Moore-Gwyn, Mr. 0. Schenk and Mr. F. N. Powell (Ashburnham). The chairman read letters of apology for inability to be present from the Earl of Jersey (the presi- dent, who is now out of the country), Sir John Llewelyn, Sir George Newnes, M.P., Sir John Jones Jenkins. Mr. H. J. Simpson (as one of the founders of golf in South Wales), Mr. Talfourd N. Strick, and others. The Chairman gave "The guests of the evening"—Mr. Eccles, Colonel Morgan, and Mr. Roger Beck—and" explained, amid en- thusiasm, that the real object of the din- ner was to give an opportunity of express- ing to them the deep appreciation felt at what they had done for the club. Their splendid effort. had enabled the members to leave their old headquarters for the present luxurious clubhouse, which they could prac- tically call home. (Applause.) The club deeply appreciated what those three gentle- men had done and the greatest reward to them must be to see the pleasure they had afforded to others. The promotion of good feeling and good fellowship among the mem- bens was one of the prominent features of the club, and as long as the Swansea Bay Club existed the names of the High Sheriff, Colonel Morgan, and Mr. Roger Beck would be indelibly bound up with it. (Applause.) The High Sheriff in reply made special mention of Mr. Beck's munificent gift in handing over a large block of shares which made the club about £1,000 better off than it was before. (Applause.) The gift was of real value to the club, and every mem ber appreciated it immensely. Golf was a means of promoting health, and the High Sheriff claimed that all who were assisting the game were doing a good work. (Hear, hear.) Colonel Morgan said there were only two things upon which he would like his name engraved—one was his tombstone, and the ether the Jersey cup. (Laughter and ap plause.) The first he had no doubt would be brought about; his chances for ths second were becoming more remote every day. (Cries of "No.") However, he hoped the professional men would attend to golf a little more for they would find that it would fit them for their ordinary duties In life. (Hear, hear.) Mi. Roger Beck assured the company that their kindly recognition of what he had done warmed his heart, but they were all desirous of uniting themselves in a bond of good fellowship, each member doing what he could for his fellows. Some of them could do more than others and therefore the club must not make too much of what he had done for it. He and others did nothing more than the dead level if they did what they could to provide good fellowship and good sport with fellow members. (Cheers.) Mr. Ernest Trubshaw, in a capital speech, gave the toast of "Golf," and said the game advanced good comradeship and health, but it had its disabilities because it brought out, not only their strong, but their weak points. There was the golfer who declared he never uoed unparliamentary languago; he who had succeeded in modify- ing his strong language to the extent of ex- pressing his modification by whistling, the boiaster, and the grumbler. (Laughter.) The game of golf was, indeed, one to which he might apply the seven natures of man. He was delighted as a Welsh golfer to see such a large influx of promising young players and he especially singled out the Welsh champion of to-day—Mr. John Dun- can, jun., of Cardiff—who was a sterling golfer, but, added Mr. Trubshaw, "I have beaten him." (Laughter and applause.) Mr. A. 0. Schenk responded and spoke of the marked progress of golf in the dis- trict during the past eleven years. Mr. Frederick Edwards proposed the health of the visitors, and said of Mr. Trub- shaw that he had been one of the main- stays of golf since it was played in the dis- trict, and whether as President of the Union or captain of the Ashburnham Club, he had always promoted the best of good feeling. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Powell (Ashburnham Club) replied, and referred to the good feeling that ex isted between the various clubs of the dis- trict, and the fact that in Mr. Brown and Mr. Brodie, the respective secretaries, the Swansea Bay and Ashburnham Clubs were well served. Messrs. W. Treharne, IW. L. Sails, Tudor Isaac, and Dr. Frank Thomas contributed to a capital musical programme.

t 1.0. U.'S FOR BEER.
t 1.0. U.'S FOR BEER. Morriston Publican's County Court Action. At Swansea County Court on Tuesday J. ù. Davies, Typenry Arms, Morriston, sued Morgan Griffiths for 19s., T. Collins for 3s., and W. Lewis for 3s. 6d., all said to be for money lent on I.O.U.'s. Mr. G. Davies ap- peared for the plaintiff, and Mr. T. R. Harris represented defendants, who axe Morriston workmen. Plaintiff, who was said to be an official of the Dockers' Union, called David Walters, Morriston, who spoke to defendants signing for the loans. Defendants went into the box and said no money passed, but they signed the I.O.U.'s for beer. Collins said that he only owed Is. 2d., though 3s. was down against him. He al- leg<id that there were from 60 to 100 cases of the fame description, and on one occasion he called for a pint. The landlord said "Sign for 2s," and also had a pint. The next morning he was told that he had drunk the lot. His Honour asked defendant Lewis, who admitted owing 2s. 8d. of the 3s. 6d., what plaintiff said when he asked him to sign the I.O.U.—Lewis He said, "Sign that," and I put my name down. His Honour: Why did you sign for a larger amount than you owed? Lewis: I don't know. It was stop-tap. (Laughter.) His Honour: It is a very serious case. If I decide as I think I shall have to say that the plaintiff has not made out either of the cases. Of course, it is a serious reflection upon him—a most serious reflection. But he has himself to thank for it. A publican has no business to deal in this way with his customers. There is always a suspicion about it, though I do not say it is so here. I shall find that he has not made out his cases, and therefore there will be judgment for the defendants.
Dean Smith and Liturgical…
Dean Smith and Liturgical Vest- ments. Dean Smith, of St. David's, and formerly of Swansea, writing to Tuesday's "Times on the liturgical vestments, urges some al- teration in the existing law, despite any risk and danger that may ensue in order to check the present "uiiiappy controversies." He remarks that a very large body of Churchmen, to whom he is supposed to be- long, are perfectly satisfied with their pre- sent standing, and desire no change. But another very large body hold different views and whilst claiming to be equally as loyal to the Church of England, just as strangely disavow any leaning to "the corrupt Church of Rome." It is understood, however, with regard to the Holy Communion, Dean Smith proceeds that a change is suggested in that under certain conditions and with episcopal sanc- tion a special vestment should be regarded as permissible. However widely he mav dif- fer from those Churchmen, the Dean says, he does not see how he could oppose such permission, "so long as those Churchmen plainly declare with me their opposition to the doctrine of the Church of Rome, and so long as it is plainly set forth that this special vestment shall have no doctrinal sig- nificance." The Dean would welcome such legalisa- tion if it would tend to promote peace within the Church without compromising the truth. He asks whether it is not pos" ible to put Protestantism before Christ and in desire to be faithful to the truth, to fester that party spirit rightly designated "tho great curse of the Church to-day."
French Count Divorced.
French Count Divorced. In the Divorce Court on Tuesday, the hear- ing was concluded of the case in which Anna., Countesb de Hamel de Manin, sued for dis- solution of her marriage with Albert, Count de Hamel de Manin. A Scarborough witness corroborated the count's account of disturbance between him and the counties in 1894. Witnium said she saw countess take hold of the count's shoulder and knock his head against the glass door. His head was cut, and the countess said, "I have begun it, and I may as well finish it," and she took hold of the glass of the door and broke some of it off. Counter-allegations of misconduct against the countess was withdrawn, Justice Bar- grave Deano remarking that this did counsel great credit. When coifnsel found they had a case, they ought not to press, they should take the responsibility of withdrawing it. After further evidence, his Lordship came to the conclusion that the count had been guilty of cruelty as well as adultery, and he therefore granted the countess a decree nisi with costs.
Messrs. Baldwin's Annual Meeting*
Messrs. Baldwin's Annual Meeting* The annual meeting of Baldwin's, Ltd., of Swansea, Birmingham, etc., was held on Monday, Mr Alfred Baldwin, M.P., presid- ing. The disposable surplus was £ 18,021, and for the first time the directors recom- mended a dividend on the Ordinary shares at the rate of Ii per cent., leaving "£11,146 to carry forward. The Chairman expressed the deep regret of the directors at the fatal results of the ex. plosion at the Elba Collieries in January last. Therfa was continuous competition with Germany and the United States all through the year, the results of which had been low prices and an increase in the cost of production owing to irregular working. At this moment there was a better demand, but he could not say how long the present demand would continue. The prosperity of the steel trade in this country depended on the home consumption of Germany and the United States. If they could absorb all their increased production, and not dump it into this country, then we should ha.ve a measure of prosperity. Col. Wright seconded, and the report and accounts were approved, and the dividend declared. Mr. A. Baldwin, M.P., and Mr. Charles Wright were re-elected directors.

- LLANDOVERY.
HOCKEY. LLANDOVERY V. LLANELLY. 'Dyfri' Writes —Elevens representative of the above clubs met at Stradey on Satur- day last. From the "bully off" Llandovery attacked vigorously, and pretty inter-pass- I. ing between the forwards terminated in J. Darkes scoring the first goal. On the re- start, the homesters got inside the Llain- de very circle, and from a scramble Griffiths sf)ot through, thus equalising matters. The visitors, however, again assumed the ag- gressive, and J. C. Jones registered the se- cond goal with a hot shot. Half-time:- Llandovery—2 goals. Llanelly—1 goal. In the final moiety the Llanellyites were continually penned in their own territory. Dan Jones from a smart transfer from M. H. Nichols scored goal number 3, and just on the call of time, D. J. Williams notched another one-the prettiest in the game. FINAL SCORE:— LLANDOVERY—4 goals. LLANELLY—1 goal. COMMENTS. The Llandoverians undertook the journey without such useful players as Harry Wat- kins and W. T. Price, and I am afraid th3 former has deserted the club for good, see- ing that he again dons the Scarlet jersey regularly. This is a distinct loss to the Llandoverians, but his resolution to play football again is a fortunate thing for Wales, ,as forwards of Watkins' stamp are a scarcity. Excellent substitutes in M. H. Nichols and J. Darkes were available, the former, in fact, being one of the finest for- wards playing the game to-day. It ;15 to be'hoped he will now give his valuable services to the old club. Darkes, although practically a novice at the game, gave a most creditable display, and, in fact, on the day's form, was about the pick of the quar- tette of forwards. Dan Jones and J. C. Jones were not so effective on the respective wings, and the referee's continual penaliz- ing for off-side handicapped them severely, Personally, I content the umpire was wrong Kc his rulings on this poinft, as the rule states that no player, when off-side, must approach within five "yards of the ball. On some occa- fi, sions, when they were ruled off-side, these players stood quite 20 yards from the ball. D. J. Williams did very well again, and Nichols, in the centre, was a tower of strength to the side. The halves( Jenkins, James and Morgan) were great in combina- tion, servinc and taokling. Of tlie full-backs D. Edgar Williams gave, on the whole, the cleverest display, being particul.arly promin- ent im, the initial moiety for sound defensive and offensive pl.av. Edgar Evans-—hiis con- frore-suffered from a cold, and his display suffered accordingly, although in the second half he gave a glimpse of his old form. D J. Wager, as custodian, was never found wanting, and was not in the least responsible f, '.r the goal regiSltered against the Llan- doverians. He fairly diddled Burns, the Llanellv captaimi, on one occasion, a.nd wais as cool as a cucumber throughout. Llandovery were easily the superior team, and a little more accurate shootimte might have increased the score twofold. The umpires wera Mr. Fred Mcroer and Mr. Harold Williams, both of Llanelly. POLICE COURT.—MONDAY. Before the Mayor (Mr. C. P. Lewis). TEARING HIS CLOTHES. William Harries, a tra.mp, was charged by Mr. Dd. Evans, the master of the Union.

"Dvfri" writes :•—This match was played at PantyffyiKHi on Saturday last. The visitors attacked strongly, but tlveir passing was somewhat erratic. Just at half-time a home forward got across, but the try was not improved upon. In the second half LLan- dovery were all over their opponents, but the defence could not be penetrated, Painty- ffynon thus winning an interesting and ex- citing tussle by one try to nil. COMENTS. In the first place I mrast ooingra,tulate the Llandoverians upon their display in this, t heir initial game, and with a little more practice together, I anticipate a successful season for them. The game mig'ht certainly have terminated in a draw, as, if anything, Llandovery had more of t-he play than their opponents. W. Jained made the best run in the match, and spoilt the effort with a forward pass. Griffiths again was unfortun- ate to sprain his ankle. Of a good lot of forwards Raymond Jones, D. J. DavieS, George Davies and Rowbery were the pick. The threequarteirs were not given many op- portun-ities to shine, but Dan Jones made a capital custodian. Mr. W. M. Thomas j Llandovery) made a very satisfactory re-, fere t LLANDOVERY DISTRICT COUNCIL. This Council held its monthly meeting on. Friday, Mr. Wm. Davies, Glansawdde. be- ing in the chair.—The Clerk read a letter from the County Council, respecting the Motor Oar Act, 1903, in which it was intim- ated that the Council were prepared to make an order limiting the speed of motor oars in the district to eight miles an hour, and four miles am hour whilst going through villages, but asked the Council to measure the pieoeS of road running through such villages.—The surveyors were instructed to measure the same.—Mr. Evian Wiillianns, surveyor for District No. 1, applied for permission to accept the income tax collectorship of Cily- cwm arish.—The Chairman moved, Mr. Be-is Lewis seconded, and Mr. E. P. Llovd sup- ported, that- the necesfearv leave be granted. —Mr. Dd. Davies proposed that the matter be deferred, but as there was no seconder, the motion was cari-ie,d.-Th- Clerk pre- sented an estimate of receipts and expendi- ture for the ensuing half-year, in which the receipts were estimated to be £ 2,546, and the expenditure £ 2.095, making an estimat-ed balance of S451 at the end of the lialf-year. This would require a rate of 8d. in the £ which would be the same as the rate in the corresponding poR^od of last year, and a re- duction of one penny on the preceding half- year.—The estimate was adopted.—The pro I posed erection of a bridge over the Ann,ell Caio was deferred for a month.—Tenders were. considered for the election of a steel bridge over the Gwenlais Cilycwm, a.nd Mr. Dl. Price, Llangadock, was successful in se- curing the contract.—It was resolved that. all applications for new works be considered at the January meeting only.—Cheques were signed in reeipect of bills for in&teri-nls, amounting in the aggregate to £ 400.—,I he treasurer's account showed a balance in nand I of £909 4s. 6d.
