There were also present Mr. Hugh Jones, vice-chairman; Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest, Messrs. Richard Gillart, J. Blayney, J. M. Breese, Peter Vaughan, Edward Jones, Richard Rees, and Edmund Gillart, clerk. On Mr.Gillart's proposition, a vote of thanks was accorded Mrs. Bonsall, the commandant, and members of the Red Cross for the successful organisation of the flag day in aid of sailors on Monday, which resulted in L20. A circular from the Local Government Board on the question of works to be undertaken after the war was referred to the committee appointed to consider the development of local industries. Mr. Blayney thought it was useless doing so unless there was better attend- ance at the committee meetings. He was afraid that the committee was a dead horse. The Chairman agreed that the attend- ance was not satisfactory. He suggested that the matter should be deferred pend- ing the action of the County Council on the resolution passed by the committee last week. Mr. Gillart said it was evident that unless the whole county joined in a scheme on a satisfactory basis it was not likely to be a success. He hoped the local members of the County Council would co- operate in promoting the scheme. It was reported that the Chairman had been appointed to represent Machynlleth on the Local Committee for the county under the Naval -and Military Pensions Act in the place of Mr. John Jones, Glan- merin, who had resigned. A letter was read from the Deputy Chief Constable stating that the Council's complaint regarding stray sheep would be inquired into. The appointment of a representative on the Court of Governors of Aberystwyth College was again deferred. Mr. H. E.

The Clerk reported that after making payments there was a credit balance in the bank of £ 158. balance in the bank of J6158. The Surveyor (Mr. J. J. Humphreys) produced a list of property owners who had failed to provide proper sanitary conveniences. Several notices had been sent to them and they had been written to by the Clerk; but nothing had been done and bitter complaints were made. He emphasised the matter as the town was inspected and criticised by members of other authorities. The chief reasons given by the defaulting owners were scarcity of labour and exorbitant price of materials. He also called the attention of the owners of cowhouses and slaughter- houses to the importance of cleaning and limewashing the premises, which was a necessary sanitary provision. Mr. Richard R.ees, on being informed that the expenditure on tar macadamising the road was £ 93, pointed out that there was a balance of an equal amount from the contribution made by the County Council toward road maintenance and the money must be spent before the end of the financial year in March. Mr. Gillart agreed that if there was money in hand it should be spent on tar macadam or other road improvements. He was looking forward to having a larger contribution from the County ¡ Council for road maintenance. Council for road maintenance. The Surveyor was directed to report to the next meeting on the expenditure in- curred and the amount available for further improvements. further improvements. Mr. Breese—We have plenty of time to speyd the money. With regard to the diversion of the Cae Garshiwn path, which has been the sub- ject of dispute, the Clerk of the Peace wrote that he could find no authority for holding -an inquiry into a matter in respect of which Quarter Sessions had granted a certificate. The Clerk agreed there was no legal authority for an inquiry. The Chairman—That is final and it seems we are now obliged to drop the matter. ■ Therefore no action was taken for the present.
