Newcastle Emlyn Council. THE TOLLS QUESTION. The monthly meeting was held on Tuesday, Mr. W. Charles Davies, vice- chairman, presiding in the absence of Mr J. E. James. The other members present were Jlessrs. W. H. Davies, Wm. Rees, Evan Evans, Wm. Davies, Henry Evans and David Thomas. Mr. Wm. Davies asked whether the four rooms below the reading room were tenanted, and if so was the Council re- ceiving the rents?—The Clerk said they were all occupied, but one tenant had left and was in arrear with his rent.—Mr. W. H. Davies said it meant a loss of L2 a year to the Council.—The Clerk explained there would be a difficulty in getting possession of the room until notice to quit had been served, and the arrears of rent could only be secured by distraining on the goods stored in the room.—The matter was left over for the present. Mr. J. 0. Jones informed the Council that he had been in correspondence with the County Surveyor with reference to the drain from Dumfries House and the latter had now agreed to its being joined to the main county drain on the understanding that two gully traps were placed, one each side of the road. After discussion it was decided to leave the matter to the two Surveyors. The question of remedying the danger- 9 ous spot at Penlan was again considered, when it appeared that there was a difficulty in ascertaining who was res- ponsible for a necessary wall. Earl Cawdor and Mr. Fitzwilliams were owners of adjoining properties and, on the pro- position of the Chairman, seconded by Mr W. Davies, the Clerk was directed to com- municate with the landowners. Bills and accounts in connection with the new mart stand, amounting to £ 58 16s. 9d. were passed. A vote of thanks to the Architect for his valuable services was unanimously passed. The ladies and entlemen connected with the children's street collection on fair day for the Y.M.C.A. were also thanked. Mr. Evan Evans pointed out with reference to the admission of pigs and cattle to the fair field on mart days, that the present system of allowing them to enter the field without payment of a toll was not only a loss to the Council but unfair in many respects. There was a certain toll fixed for weighing and another for admission into the field with pigs, etc., for the purpose of sale, the latter being slightly more than the former. Many people, it was -alleged made false repre- II sentations to the Collector with regard to their intentions and it should be put right once and for all. Mr. Evans described how the imposition was brought about and after a lengthy discussion the Council decided to erect special notices with a view to remedying the defect.
