The Aberdare Leader

Aberdare District Council. A special meeting of the Aberdare District Council was held on Monday. There were present: Messrs. D. Davies, J.P., chairman; T. W. Williams, vice- chairman; A. P. Jones, W. Pees, L. n III lams, J.P., D. J. Thomas, Geo. Powell, .J. Howell, T. Lewis, M. J. Harris, and 0. Powell, with Messrs. D. Llewelyn Griffiths, clerk; A. Watkins, assistant clerk; Owen Williams, sur- veyor; A. J. Abraham, electrical mana- ger T- dotting, director of education; Dr. Pritchard, medical officer; and Mr. Sellons, tramways engineer. Aberdare's Water Supply.-Prioi- to the advent of the chairman, lr. A. P. Jones presided, while the Clerk gave his report of the special sub-committee of the Water Committee as follows:- "The Sub-Committee reported that on the 16th .January and the 6th Febru- ary, 1913, they had attended and inter- viewed the Water Committee of the Merthyr Corporation with reference to the proposed supply of hitered water by the xVlerthyr Corporation. On the 16th January there were present represent- ing Aberdare: Councillors L. N. Wil- liams, A. P. Jones, E. M. Hann, and G. D. Powell, with the Clerk and Sur- veyor. On the 6th February there were present: Councillors A. P. Jones and G. D. Powell, with the Clerk and Surveyor. The following terms were eventually agreed subject to confirmation by the respective Councils: (1) Merthyr Cor- poration to deliver at the Aberdare boundary a supply of filtered water, at a proper pressure, of a minimum quan- tity of 150,000 gallons per day for a per- iod of 40 years at a charge of 4d. per 1,000 gallons up to 250,000 gallons per day. Any quantity in excess of 250,000 gallons to the maximum of 500,000 gal- lons per day at a charge of :Hd. per 1,000 gallons. (2) Merthyr to invite tenders for the mains construction in their area and to carry out the whole of the work at the cost of the Aberdare Council. Mains to be 10 inch, and to b3 used solely for supplying Aberdare. At the termination of the agreement the mains to become the property of the Merthyr Corporation. (3) Aber- dare Council to pay to Merthyr Corpor- ation the sum of £60 per annum during the term of the agreement, such sum to b? on account of and in full discharge of all maintenance, costs, inspection of meters, etc., so that a proper supply of water shall be given by the Merthyr Corporation. (4) Cost of all ease- ments, necessary, to be borne by Aber- dare Council, approximate cost £300, but at termination of agreement, if the easements are required by Merthyr Cor- poration, they shall purchase same from the Aberdare Council, at a fair valu- ation. (5) Aberdare Council to pay Merthyr Corporation the sum of £ 300 for engineering charges, such charges to include proper supervision of the mains construction in the Merthyr area, and the preparation of all neces- sary plans, contracts for work, and any agreements for easements. (6) In lieu of water tower suggested in the first in- stance by Merthyr Corporation, a balancing tank to be purchased from the Merthyr Corporation by the Aber- dare Council, provided such tank is suitable in the opinion of the Aberdare Surveyor, the cost to be arrived at by the respective engineers to the Corpor- ation and Council. In the event of such tank not being .suitable, a new tank to bo provided by the Merthyr Council at the cost of the Aberdare Council. Tho Clerk stated that a new reservoir would involve a minimum cost of tS,5,000, and probably it would amount to a much bigger sum.—Mr. G. Powell said that they would he tapping new sources of water supply by adopt- ing this scheme, and not merely aug- irenting the storage. Mr. John Howell said he would like a detailed proposal as to a new reservoir, for he thought this agreement was all for Mer- thyr and norie for Aberdare.-Mr. T. Lewis moved that the agreement be ac- cepted, and also that the members of the sub-committee be thanked for their good services.—Mr. M. J. Harris seconded. By adopting this course they were saved the expense of promot- ing a Parliamentary Bill. Mr. Owen Powell supported. He thought the Council had secured a bargain. The only objection might be the reproach that they were going to Merthyr for -ater.-In reply to Mr. Powell, it was stated that Merthyr were supplying other districts as well.-The motion was carried, Mr. John Howell alone dis- senting. Site for a Fever Hospital —A depiitti- tion of the Council had waited on Lord Merthyr with regard to the above ques- tion. He had expressed his willing- ness to assist the Council in their en- deavours to get an Isolation Hospital fO" Aberdare, and he, on behalf of Lord Bute, was prepared to sell a portion of thn Abernant Park at the price of £ >,750.—The Surveyor gave particulars of the acreage, etc., of the proposed site.—Dr. Pritchard strongly recom- mended the site as a most suitable place.—Mr. T. Lewis wondered whether the residents of Abernant Road would object to the Fever Hospital being so near to them.—The Surveyor: We in Park Lane never objected when the Park Lane site was proposed.—Mr. T. Walter Williams said that what they had to contend with in Aberdare was the diminishing ratable value. He would like to suggest that Mountain Ash be asked to join Aberdare in a combined scheme for a Fever Hospital. Me moved that the Clerk communicate with the Mountain Ash Council to that effect.—After some further discussion it was decided that the proposed Llwyd- coed site be abandoned in favour of the Abernant site—Mr G. Powell said that the issue lay now between the Park Lane site and the Abernant site. He saw a difficulty with regard to Moun- tain Ash proposal. He would suggest that they ask Lord Merthyr if he veuld modify his terms.—Mr. 0. Powell 11 favoured Mr. T. Walter Williams sug- gestion of acting joifttly with Mountain Ash.—Mr. T. Lewis considered the Abernant site a most favourable one. Mr. W. Rees concurred.—Mr. D. J. Thomas was strongly against the pro- position to get Mountain Ash to join them in the scheme. It would he too much like two wives occupying the same house.—Mr. John Howell also objected to the Mountain Ash proposal.—Mr. L. N. Williams could not see what the Mountain Ash proposal had to do with the matter under discussion. They had met there to discuss Lord Merthyr's proposal. The question to decide was whether they should acquire the land or not. He would suggest that another ■enutation wait on Lord Merthyr to further discuss the terms.—Mr. T. W. Williams' motion was put to the meet- ing, and only the mover and Mr. Owen Powell voted for it.—Eventually it was carried bv a large majority that a depu- tation approach Lord Merthyr again to ask for modified terms, and that the deputation be given full power to act.

Football. BY "SPECTATOR." Association.—On Thursday last the local midweekers paid the penalty of sending a weak eleven to Bargoed, the home team bagging a brace of valuable Jloints-valuable from the standpoint of the Darians, who must now go all out to win three out of the four remaining points before they can count themselves champions of the Thursday League. Merthyr are a point ahead, but they have to meet again at the New Athletic Grounds, and should the home men pull off a win, a draw at Tredegar would suffice to place them, when the final reckoning takes place, at the head of the League Table, their superior goal average giving them preference over the Merthyrians. Arthur Jones, the cap- tain, must see to it that the strongest available eleven be selected for these matches, otherwise the medals will not come this side of the hill. On Saturday the Town players had.a rest, the Directors very wisely not at- tempting to fill in an open date occa- sioned by cup ties. After their hard game at Cardiff on the previous Wednes- day the rest was greatly appreciated. < « < Parkes, the outside left of Coventry, who gave such a fine display against Merthyr on the occasion of their meet- ing at Pendarren Park a week ago, is a cousin of Jimmy Parkes, who is on Aber- dare list. Other members of the family have distinguished themselves in the dribbling code, one of Jimmy's brothers having worn the Dare colours as a for- ward a few years back. • • • Steve Prol>ert, who has played regular- ly in the Aberdare Reserves this season, is one of those players who sometimes require a short rest. The South Wales and Monmouth Association at their meet- ing on Saturday evening, decided to give him a 14 days' holiday. The old Thistle deserves it, but I doubt if he relishes it. Harry Carter, the ex-Dare goalie, was between the sticks for West Ham on Saturday last. He is thought a lot of by the West Ham supporters. < Supporters of the Dare club are mak- ing anxious enquiries as to the venue of the cup match with Merthyr. Mr Cas. Jones informs me that this has not yet been decided upon. » Are the Directors of the Town team contemplating giving Pugh of Hereford City another trial? A personal friend of the City flying winger, who lives at Aber- dare, says that he is confident that if played in his proper position, Pugh would surprise a good many with his cleverness. Judging by the glowijig ac- counts of him in the Hereford papers, he is a player who should do well in better company. BY MUDDIED OAF." Mountain Ash v. Treherbert.—This league match took place on Saturday at the Duffryn Grounds. Mountain A,,h. For the homesters: Full-backs, Johnny Thomas; three-quarter backs, Ivor Bevan, Dai Arthur Davies, Josh. Davies, and Jarnnan; half-backs. Lod- wick and Jarman forwards. P.C. Perry- fllpn, H. Fortt. Gibbon, Blacker, Jen- kins. P.O. John, R. Fryer, and Davies. Tom Shepherd, the captain, was an absentee. Mr Ben Fjewis! Pontypridd, was referee. In the first half Mountain Ash scored a goal from a mark, and led at the interval by three points to nil. After the change of ends Treherbert succeeded in equalising. Final score: 3 points each. Glyn iNeath v. JUanygraig.— ihis match I took place on Saturday last at the for- mer's ground. In the first moiety the Glyn Neath forwards brought off some excellent dribbles, but they failed to beat the defence of the Swansea Valley men. Result: a pointless draw. The Mountain Ash Harlequins, the top dogs of the Pontypridd and District League, added another brace of points to their list at the expense of the Llan- twit XV. The score was 3 tries to nil.— The Ynysybwl Reserves also journeyed to Abercynon to play the first round in the League Cnp Competition. An ex- cellent game culminated in a draw. By the way, out of all the second division clubs at present taking part in the Cup Competition, the Ynysybwl He- serves have gone the farthest.—1 under- stand that the Pontyelun Club will not compete, although drawn to meet the Mountain Ash Juniors. The Pontyelun' players aver that they cannot leave work in time to field. « » At the moment of writing the three local clubs, viz.. Mount Harlequins, Mount Juniors, and Abercynon are the leaders of the Pontypridd and District League, whilst the Mountain Ash Re- serves also head the second division of the same league. The Ynysybwl Re- serves, who were the winners last year, now occupy the third place, with the Abercynon Reserves next in order of merit. » « ASSOCIATION. South Wales and Monmouth Junior Cup Competition. Aberdare Reserves v. Brithdir.—This match took place at the Athletic Grounds on Saturday. The Darians were: Goal, Jack Phillips; backs, Frcd Lewis and Dan Jones; halves, Walt Jenkins, Jack Griffiths, and Bernie Lewis; forwards, George Davies, Steve Probert, Dai Cox Williams, T. J. Evans, and Alec Taylor. Mr T. Row- lands. of Merthyr, refereed. At the in- terval no score was registered. After the change of ends Gilbert succeeded in drawing first blood for the visitors. Alec Taylor, the home left wing, managed to equalise. The visitors succeeded in breaking away suddenly, and Gardener beat Phillips with a surprise shot. and thus secured a lucky goal. The Darians afterwards fought for all they were worth, yet the shooting of the home forwards was poor in the extreme, and in the end the homesters had to bow to a defeat at the hands of the visitors who are, by the way, in the third division ot the league. The visiting goalman saved his side time after time. Final score: Brithdir, 2 goals; Aberdare Reserves, 1 goal.. The result of this match has caused the greatest dissatisfaction amongst the supporters of the Town Reserve eleven. Some good forwards are sadly wanted, whilst one part of the half-back division could also be improved upon. I cannot see how the Darians can ever hope to win matches with the for- wards they now possess. On Saturday last the Mountain Ash County School met the Penarth Tutorial College XI. in a friendly engagement, when the Mount scholars won by the score of o goals to nil. Welsh League, Division II., Bargoed v. Pei)rliiNveeil-)er. This match took place at the Bargoed Enclosure on Sat- urday last. Penrhiwceiber played ten men. Wally Rice, of the home forwards, started several bouts of passing. One of his movements resulted in Bargoed scor- ing a. goal through Knowles, who heat Gibbon all the way. At half-time they led by a goal to nil.—After the interval Howarth added a. second goal for the homesters. There was no further score. "Barber" Jones, the ex-West Ham player, Oswald Gibbon in goal, Gibbon at centre-half, and Eynon amongst the forwards were the most prominent for the losers. Final score; Bargoed, 2 goals; Penrhiwceiber, nil. Abernant and Treharris Juniors met at the Abernant Enclosure on Saturday. Both teams are in the running for the championship of the Fourth Division of the Welsh League. Abernant have 21 points, and Treharris. the runners-up, 18 points. Mr Collier, of Porth, was referee. The Abernant eleven were:- Goal, Jack Evans; backs, Lewis N. James and D. J. Jenkins; halves. Charlie Williams, D. James Jones, and D. J. James; forwards, Idris Phillips, Evan Hughes, Tom Evans, Aaron Stiley, and Tom Jenkins. In the first two min- utes Abernant were awarded a penalty for an infringement by one of the visit- ing backs. However, Eva n Hughes failed to score. Tom Evans opened the score for the homesters. The homesters scored again, but the referee disallowed the points. At the interval Abernant led by a goal to nil. The homesters notched another goal which Mr Collier also dis- allowed. Treharris succeeded in equalis- ing the scores, and a minute before the blowing of the whistle the homesters crashed the hall into the net only to have the points once more disallowed. Evidently, the referee was bent upon making the match a drawn one. Final score: 1 goal each. Abernant were by far and away the superior side, and should have secured the victory had the man in charge been fair in his decisions. For tho homesters Jack Evans played grandly in goal. whilst Lewis N. James was the finest back on the field. How- ever, some of the home forwards were very weak in front of goal. Hirwain v. Aberbargoed. This match took place at the Aberbargoed Grounds on Saturday last under the aus- pices of the Second Round of the Gla- morgan Knock-out Cup Competition. Aberbargoed obtained the lead from a fine shot by Barnfield. At half-time the homesters led by a goal to nil. After lemons Aberbargoed continued to have the best of matters and scored three more goals. Final score: A 4 goals; Hirwain, nil. w •* Welsh League, Division 4. Roberbtown v. Aberaman Thistles.—This match took place at the Robertstown Enclosure on Saturday last. The home team were: Goal, D. Edwards: backs, D. Griffiths and D. Rowland Rees; halves, Arthur Davies, Tom Watkins, and .Tack Jones; for- wards. W. Aubery. W. Morgan, Tom Dally, Percy Gardener, and Dicky Rees. The homesters succeeded in drawing first blood through Percy Gardener. The homesters subsequently obtained a pen- alty, but Tom Dally failed to turn his shot to advantage. At the interval the Parisians led by a goal to nil. In the second half Rees added a second goal for the homesters who. on the dav's form, were in brilliant fettle. Final score: Robertstown, 2 goals: Aheranian Thistles, nil. » » W. Bowen, of Abernant, who plavs for Troedyrhiw, was again the hero of the match on Saturday last.—Johnny S. Isaac, the clever young sprinter, who plays for the Mount Thursdays, is stated to be the finest right winger playing in Welsh mid-week football. • ■ • Hirwain actually secured a famous victory on Saturday week at the expense of the doughty Merthyr Vale club.—On the same day Robertstown vanquished the Merthyr Vale Stars by th e score of 4 I goals to nil. BY ONLOOKER." Aberaman Albions v. Treharris rang- ers at Treharris.—This 5th Divisions League match was played on Saturday. The Albion- were as follows:—Goal, H:8 Williams; backs, S. ihomas (cap- tain), W. Morgan; halves, F. Morgan, J. Ijomon, 1). Evans; forwards, G. Lewis, D. Evans, Gunner, J. Male, and D. Francis. The referee was Mr Thomas, Mountain Ash. The Rangers were a much heavier team than the visitors. Haif-timo score: Rangers, 3; Albions. nil; final ncore, Rangers, 4; Albions, nil. The pick of the Albions were: Gunner, F. Morgan, G. Lewis, W. Mor- gall, and S. Thomas at back played a good game. • • Fifth Division Welsh League.—Cwm- amari Windsors Reserves journeyed to Dowlais to play Dowlais Top on Satur- day. Tho folio ving played for Cwm- ania.il. Goal, I.. Clarke; backs, D. J. Williams and Carter; half-hacks. E. J. Owen, .). Evans, Rees Williams, Howells, .1. II. Davies, nd D. J. Thomas. Re- feree. Mr W, Bate's. Dowlais. Dowlais won by 1 goal to nil. Cwmaman Windsors v. Pontypridd Y.M.C.A.—The above 4th Division Welsh League match was played at Cwm- aman on Saturday. For the home team: Goal, C. Rees; backs, Stockman and W il- liams; half-backs, Rees, R. Lake, and Bert Taylor; forwards, W. Pomeroy, T. J. Phillips, Whitlock, Nicholas, and Protheroe. Referee, Mr AX. Humphreys. Cwmbach. Pomeroy missed a couple of easy chances of scoring for Cwmaman. Half-time came with no score. The second half was played in very much tho same style, the respective ends being visited without result. Five minutes before time Pomeroy scored for the home team. Pontypridd disputed the goal, and walked off the field three min- utes before time, leaving Cwmaman winners by one goal to nil. Of the homesters Dicky Lake, Wliittock. Taylor, and the two backs played a good game, while for the visitors their goalkeeper was the best player. Penrhiwceiber Crusaders v. Cwmbach Central Rovers.—Played on the Ynys- cynon Grounds, Cwmbach, on Saturday under the auspices of the 5th Division Welsh League. For Cwmbach were: Goal, Owen Lacy; backs, Tom Williams and Sam Davies; half-backs. Will Evans, W. Phillips, W. L. Davies; for- wards, N. J. Morris, W. J. Williams, 0.

Rhos are at present holders of the Welsh Amateur Cup. Soame's Charity Cup, St. Martin's Char- ity Cup, Champions Wrexham and Dis- trict League, and Finalists League Challenge Cup, while the Amanites on tho other hand are still unbeaten. They journey to North Wales on Saturday as the only South Wales team in the com- petition with the best wishes of all local sports. > By their victory over Barry Reserves 011 Saturday last Aberaman and Nelson, who are both joint-holders of the South Wales Junior Cup, will meet in the semi- final of the Junior Cup. or < Aberaman Athletic entertained Barry District Reserves at Aberaman Park on Saturday last in the third round South Wales Junior Cup, of which the home- sters are holders. Tho gate was the biggest of the season. Mr J. Hughes. Merthyr Vale, refereed. For Aberaman were: Goal, B. Munday; backs, W. Owen, T. G. Cumner; half-backs, J. R. James, T. Finn, D. II. Parry; forwards. J. J. Thomas, W. G. Key, T. Howells, C. Silverthorne, W. A. Vater. Barry kicked off, and made for the home goal. but Owen and Cumner repelled tho at- tack, and drove play to the visitors' quarters, the home goalie saving under difficulties. The visitors' right wing now came away with a good run, and put in a good centre which Munday saved. The visitors tried to get their wings going, but were not allowed to get within shooting range. J. R. James, the home- sters' right half, fairly mesmerised the Barry players, initiating some fine at- tacking movements. Several splendid corners were well placed by J. Thomas, but the visitors cleared on each occasion. Howells and Silverthorne placed some good shots which missed the net by inches. The visitors' combination was completely broken up by the home halves, Finn playing a great game at centre half. The interval arrived with no score. Aberaman restarted, but a long kick by the Barry inside right was re- turned, and Barry invaded the home half. Owen with a good drive placed play in the visitors' quarters. Barry from the kick out now tried a long shot, which was sent wide over the bar. Aber- aman attacked, and some good play by the home right ended in Key beating the goalie with a great drive. Later he sent in a drive which struck the cross bar. and from the rebound Howells netted. Parry here left the field through an in- jury to his leg. Vater put in a good shot which missed by inches, as did Howells' and Silverthorne's later. The best for the winners were T. R. James and W. Owen. while the visitors' right back and half-back and centre-forward were the pick of the losing side. J. R. James was the outstanding plaver on th" field. « • • A match was played between Merthyr Locomotive Juniors and Aberaman Cor- inthians last Saturday at Aberaman. The Corinthians lined out as follows:- Goal. J. Williams; backs. T. Williams and Cowles; halves, C. Evans. G. Smith, and J. Allen; forwar(]- W. Wilkins, Eddie Morgan, T. Griffiths, W. Thomas, and T. J. Jones. The home team scored twice through Eddie Morgan. Following this Tommy Griffiths and Tommy Jones scored with fine shots. Ten minutes from the end the ball burst. The Corinthians broke Merthyr's unbeaten record, winning by four goals to nil.

Crippled Obild Walks. Amazing Cure of Infantile Paralysis by DR. CASSELL'S TABLETS. Mothers will understand the joy ot I Mrs. Annie Austin, of 32 Albert Road, Long Eaton, when her little paralysed baby girl was restored to health by Dr. Cassell's Tablets. Airs. Austin says:— One day I found that my little Doris could not stand. All use had gone out of her left side. We had a doctor, and another—eight altogether-hut none of them did her any good. They said it Has Infantile Paralysis. AVe took hot to the Children's Hospital, then a Gen- eral Hospital, then a Special Hospital for Paralysis, in London, but she was pronounced incurable. We spent a little fortune trying to save our child in vain. Her leg was absolutely use- less, slip couldn't even move her toes, and it wasted to an appalling thinness.
