Abernant Tenements.-Small…
Abernant Tenements.-Small Families Preferred. The Health and Housing Committee reported:—"The Surveyor reported that 16 of the 32 tenements were now ready for occupation. In the two upper centre tenements of each of the 4 blocks (8 out of the 32), by reason of the bed- rooms on the first floor extending over the passages on the ground floor, ac- commodation for an additional bed was provided, and suggested that a slightly higher rent should be charged for these 8 tenements. We recommend that a weekly rental of 4/3 per week be charged in each of the 8 cases above described, and a weekly rental of 4/- in each of the 24 remaining cases. We recommend that a fortnight's rent be allowed each tenant for the purpose of cleaning and drying the tenements. Youi committee heard the report of Mr R. H. Lewis, collector, upon his investi- gation of the 16 tenants appointed by the committee on the 16th instant, and ultimately resolved that the following be finally given tenancies at the tene- ments: David J. Lewis, 4 Little Row, Abernant; David J. Davips. fj Little Row, Abernant; Robert Cousins, 10 Little Row, Abernant; David C. Jones, I Tydraw Place, Abernant; Roger James, 3 Green Fach, Aberdare; Lewis Thomas, 4 Green Fach, Aberdare; Chas. Hamer. 15 Front Long Row, Abernant; David Jas. Samuel, 17 Front I Long Row, Abernant; David Edwards, 7 Abernant Place, Abernant; Tom Mor- gan, 1 Front Long Row. Alternant; Thomas Jones, 10 Trap Row. Abernant. Your committee also further considered the list of applicants for tenancies in respect of the remaining 21 tenements, and selected a list of provisional ten- ants for investigation by Mr R. H. Lewis." Mr W. Rees asked what rule had been adopted in selecting tenants for the Abernant tenements. He thought that preference should be given to those people who had been turned out from houses which had been condemned. He knew of some people who were desirous of becoming tenants and who had been refused. The Chairman replied that such people had been given the first chance if they were reliable and if they did not have too many children. Mr W. Rees: How many children do you consider too many? Chairman: Over three. Mr. George Powell said that other I considerations had weighed with the Council. So far as the Housing Com- mittee was concerned, added Mr. Powell, they were unanimous in every- thing that had been done. No person who had been turned out had been ig- nored. He would like the Council to have more confidence in its committees. If members wanted to know the reasons why some applicants for tenements had been rejected they could have those reasons, but they would not be credit- able to those particular tenants. One had called upon him to know the reason why, and when he told her she did not remain 30 seconds. (Laughter.) Mr W. Rees contended that every member of the Council had a right to know what was being done in com- mittees and why it was being done. If not he would apologise. However, in this case he would ask Mr Powell in confidence. Mr. Powell: You can have all inform- ation with pleasure.
Ratepayers' Association Again…
Ratepayers' Association Again Snubbed. At the last meeting the Aberdare Ratepayers' Association asked to be supplied with copies of the Council's minutes, and the request was refused. The following letter was now read from Mr T. W. Griffiths, secretary of the Association:— "I read your letter at a meeting of the executive committee of this associ- ation, and the committee were disap- pointed at the decision arrived at by t your Council. I was directed to write to you again repeating the application and to point out that what is being asked is not without precedent. For instance, the Cardiff Chamber of Trade are furnished with copies of all minutes passed by the Cardiff Corporation. Having regard to the remarks passed by some of your members (which re- marks were mentioned in the local papers), I would respectfully point out that although this Association has only recently been formed it is an association of ratepayers who consider that they are entitled to information as to what their representatives are doing, and it can hardly be said that they are on a par with, say, the Free Church Coun- cil. Personally I do not see that your Council will in any way be prejudiced by complying with the reasonable request of this association. I shall therefore be glad if you will lay the matter again before your Council." Mr Ogwen Williams: They are not as good as the Free Church Council. It was moved, seconded, and carried, that the letter lie on the table.
Proposed Public Convenience.
Proposed Public Convenience. Opposition by Victoria Square Residents. The Health Committee reported:— The Surveyor produced and explained a plan of the proposed Underground Public Conveniences, when, after care- ful consideration thereof, it was unani- mouslv resolved to recommend that the plans now submitted be approved of, and that the Surveyor be directed to prepare an estimate of the cost of the proposal." The Clerk said lie understood from Mr A. P. Jones that the Bute Estate would object to placing a public urinal in Victoria Square. The Bute Estate were the owners of the sub-soil in Victoria Square, and if they objected the proposal was bound to fall through. Mr A. P. Jones said that if he were asked personally, he would refuse con- sent, because all the tenants In Victoria Square strongly objected to the project. Besides, he did not think ladies would make use of it in such an exposed posi- tion. Mr D. P. Davies thought that pro- vision for ladies could be made in some portion of the proposed new Free Library, opposite St. David's, in High Street. Mr A. P. Jones I believe there is a proposal to that effect. Mr L. N. Williams suggested that the matter be referred to the Roads and Streets Committee. He had several other sites in view. The Clerk then read a petition signed by about 40 or 50 persons, pointing out that the erection of a convenience in Victoria Square would depreciate pro- perty in that part of the town. They suggested that the present urinal in Welsh Harp Square be enlarged and i adapted as a cloak-room, etc. There was a deputation present, con- sisting of Mr Illtyd Williams, Mr Frank Hodges, Mr R. H. Miles, and Mr Walter H. Jones. Mr Illtyd Williams acted as spokes- man, and appealed to the Council to reconsider their decision. He wished the Council to clearly understand that they did not object to the erection of a lavatory in the town, but he ventured to think that Victoria Square was not a suitable place. There were no back- yards of any kind to some of the pre- mises in Victoria Square, and their families had to live upstairs, and he thought the Council would agree with him that a public urinal was not a pleasant scene to look upon all day. He also believed that the position was too public, and that ladies would not make use of it to any appreciable ex- tent. He had been told that in Mer- thvr only 4d. had been taken in three months in the ladies' lavatory. It had been mentioned that a monument to Caradog was to be built on the Square. If that was so it would be better not to have a lavatory there. He would rather see a monument to Caradog built there than a lavatory. I Mr R. H. Miles added a few words and said that it did not affect him so much as it affected the establishment of Mr Illtyd Williams. Still he be- lieved that a convenience in that spot would tend to disgfiure the town, and it would be a serious thing to spend £ 1,000 if the ladies would not use it after all. Mr William Rees asked the deputa- tion whether they did not think a lava- tory in the library building would be in- convenient for strangers coming to the town. Mr Illtyd Williams did not think so. He thought the place would become known to everybody in a very short time. Mr W. Rees: Ladies and all?—Yes. Mr Owen Powell asked whether the people had signed the petition because they were afraid the lavatory would injure their business. Mr Illtyd Williams: They object to it being on the Square. Mr Owen Powell: Do you think it will be detrimental to your businesses? Mr Illtyd AVilliams: Yes. Mr Owen Powell: I should think it would attract people to that quarter. The Chairman promised the deputa- tion that the Council would give a sym- pathetic ear to their petition, and the deputation then withdrew. One member proposed that the Bute Estate be asked for consent to erect a urinal on the spot. This was put and carried by a majority of three, but it was afterwards resolved to refer the matter back to committee.
Increase in Membership.
Increase in Membership. The Clerk submitted a report on the increase in the number of members from 20 to 27. He suggested that each com- mittee be increased by four. With re- gard to the Education Committee there were two courses they could take. The 27 members could ballot for the 20 seats on the committee, or they could apply to the Board of Education for per- mission to alter the scheme so that all the members could be also members of the Education Committee. Mr illiam Rees asked how long would it take to have the scheme amended. The Clerk thought it could be done in three months. Mr Ogwen Williams thought it would be better to amend the scheme than to ballot for 20 seats. Some of the candi- dates in the present election would be greatly disappointed if, on being elected, they would be deprived of a seat on the Education Committee. Mr W. Rees moved that they apply for an amended scheme, and Mr A. P. Jones seconded. Mr Ogwen Williams suggested that the new scheme b;> worded so that the Education Committee should consist of 27 members of the Council and two co- opted ladies. The Chairman objected to the co- option of another ladv and ruled Mr Williams out of order. Mr Williams replied that inasmuch as they were amending the scheme they might as well make that provision. Mr J. O. George Yes, now is the time. The Chairman still ruled that out of order, and Mr J. C. George asked if he should give a notice of motion. The Chairman replied that that must be done at the annual meeting. The Chairman went on with other business, and Mr Tdwal Thomas, who sat near Messrs Ogwen Williams and George, said: You have not convinced them yet. They are casting aspersions on your ruling. Mr A. P. Jones Are you an advocate for them? (Laughter.) It was resolved to write to the Bo?.rd of Education asking for permission to amend the scheme and increase the number of members from 21 to 28.
Proposed New Hospital.i
Proposed New Hospital. Mr E. C. H. Maidman, the architect who is responsible for the plans of a new fever hospital, wrote that his estimate of the cost of a building for 40 patients was from £ 9,000 to E- 10,000; an extra 10 beds, £ 1,000 extra. f It was decided to adopt the 50 bed j hospital.
jNo Sunday Trading.
No Sunday Trading. Mr F. C. Smith, Aberaman, who oc- cupies the refreshment rooms at the Park, asked permission to keep the rooms open on Sunday, July 26th, when a Band Concert would be held at the Park. Mr Ogwen Williams moved that per- mission be refused. There were other shops in the vicinity who closed at a sacrifice. Mr George Powell seconded. He said that the Council had made a con- cession to allow the Band to play on a ISiindav. If they allowed the refresh- ment room to remain open the Council would be charged with Continentalising the Sabbath. Mr J. 0. George moved that the re- quest be granted, and added that the Italians were opening their shops all over the town on Sundays. Why should the Council penalise their kith and kin and refuse this man's application? Mr Illtyd Hopkins seconded, and said it would be a great convenience for people to have refreshments at the Park, should they desire to attend the afternoon and evening concerts. The Council divided, and three voted for and nine against granting permission.
.Cwmdars, Postal Service.
Cwmdars, Postal Service. The residents of Cwmdare wrote ask- ing the Council to help them in obtain- ing a telegraphic and telephonic service at the local post office. It appears that the Postmaster General wanted a guarantee of a revenue of JE9 Is. per annum for 7 years. Mr W. M. Llewelyn supported this request, and added that he was a mem- ber of a deputation who had waited on the postmaster. There were no facili- ties at Cwmdare at all, and such a ser- vice was badly needed there. He moved that the Council become guarantors for that sum. Mr Geo. Powell seconded. Mr A. P. Jones: Is there no public servioo at Cwmdare at all? Mr W. M. Llewelyn: No. Mr D. R. Llewelyn thought the Council should agitate and get a sub- telephone office at Cwmdare. There was one at Llwydcoed. Mr W. M. Llewelyn: That will mean delay. Let us finish it now by becom- ing guarantors. Mr A. P. Jones moved an amendment on the lines of Mr D. R. Llewelyn's suggestion. Mr D. R Llewelyn If we approach the postmaster we would carry more weight than a deputation from Cwm- dare. j Mr Win. Rees said that Godrcaman also suffered from lack of facilities in that respect. He moved that Godre- aman be coupled with Cwmdare. After some discussion Mr W. M. Llewelvn withdrew his motion in favour of that of Mr A. P. Jones, which was carried. Mr AV. M. Llewelyn: Ask them for a j letter-box near Bwllfa at the same time. You will save a penny stamp. (Laugh- ter.) Mr William Rees moved that a simi- lar service be applied for at Godreaman. —Carried.
i Robertstown Bridge. j
Robertstown Bridge. The Clerk said that a lengthy letter had been received from Mr Tyssul Davies, builder, regarding the erection of the above bridge. He (the Clerk) suggested it be referred to committee. Mr Idwal Thomas said that the work had been at a stand-still for a consider- able time. If something were not done soon that bridge would not be ready for 12 months. The Chairman suggested that the letter be referred to the Roads and Streets Committee, the Gadlys mem- bers to attend.—This course was agreed to
I Licence for Cwmaman Cinema.|
Licence for Cwmaman Cinema. Mr NN-. Thomas, solicitor, on behalf of the Cwmaman Cinema, Ltd., applied for a licence for their building. —The Clerk remarked that the building was not completed, but a licence could be granted subject to the Surveyor certi- fying the building in order. Mr A. P. Jones moved that the licence be granted, and this was carried.
\ Hirwain Cemetery.
Hirwain Cemetery. The Deputy Surveyor reported that the Hirwain Cemetery was now ready, and he wished to know whether there was to bo any formal opening. Mr Geo. Powellt Are you waiting for somebody to die? (Laughter.) Mr J. O. George We have had three applications for burial already. Mr A. P. Jones: Are you one of them ? Mr. J. O. George: Not likely. 3 (Laughter.) No action was taken. j
jMotor Cars and Trams.J
Motor Cars and Trams. J Mr. Idwal Thomas I moved: "That this Council petition the Glamorgan County Council to apply to the Local Government Board to make regulations limiting the speed of motor cars to 10 miles per hour on all roads within the area of the Aberdare District Council, except those parts between the Ceme- tery G.W.R. Crossing and Hirwain, and between Graig House and Mardy. Mr. Thomas said that a motion to the same effect had been previously moved and carried by the Council, and it was sent forward to the County Council re- questing them to make an application to the L.G.B. for an order for the limiting of speed within their area. But in- stead of making the application the County Council simply vetoed their re- quest. He imagined that the reason why they refused was due to the fact that the majority of the members of the County Council own motor cars them- selves, and by limiting the speed it would he interfering with their pleasure, however much the Council wished to safeguard the lives of the people in their district. It was no exaggeration to say that the cars flew at the rate of 30 to 35 miles an hour through the main streets, thereby becoming a men- ance and a danger to the public. He doubted' very much indeed whether it was ever intended to give the right of veto to the County Council. A Bor- ough Council had the right to make an application themselves to the G.B. An Frban Council could only maive an application by consent of the County County. It was ridiculous that a so- called intelligent body like the County Council should refuse a legitimate re- quest of that kind. Surely Aberdare Council ought to know its own business at home better than the County Council did. It was only the day before that he saw a car coming down the main street at a terrific speed, and such a practice should come to an end. Mr D. R. Llewelyn asked if this motion was to apply to the Council's tram-cars. Clerk You can run your cars up to 16 miles an hour. Mr. King: 15 miles. Mr Idwal Thomas asked permission to alter his motion to read 15 miles instead of 10 miles. Mr D. P. Davies said the motion should apply to motor cycles. He timed a motor cycle in Cardiff Street the other day, and it was going at a speed of from 35 to 45 miles an hour. The Chairman suggested that the motion be adjourned and that the Clerk and Tramways Manager be con- sulted. Mr A. P. Jones said that the trams ran sometimes at a speed of 22 miles an hour. Mr Idwal Thomas agreed to the Chairman's suggestion.

Lost His Job.
Lost His Job. Trevor Owen, a former clerk in the rate department, wrote asking for an explanation why he had not been given his work back. He stated that he had been ordered to a sanatorium by a local doctor, but that the sanatorium medical man had certified that he was not suffering from tuberculosis, and had sent him home. In the meaniinje the Council had appointed another person in his place. The Clerk said that no promise was made to Owen that his place would be kept open. Mr D. E. Davies remarked that it was rather unusual for a man to lose his job through being ill. Something ought to be done for the young man. I- Mr Illtyd Hopkins: Isn't It possible to get something for him? Mr. Geo. Powell said that the ques- tion had been very fully discussed in the Finance Committee, and he hoped nothing more would be said at present. The Clerk remarked that Owen had been offered a job as tram conductor.
The Cwmbach Bridge.
The Cwmbach Bridge. Mr E. M. Hann sent in a communica- tion with regard to the closing of a path in connection with the erection of the Cwmbach Bridge. Mr David Davies said that the work- men had now to walk a circuitous path extending to about 400 yards. This meant about 10 minutes delay to the men going to and coming from work. If the old gap was not to be re-opened, then another should be opened in its place close by. It was resolved to send a deputation to meet Mr. Hann.
L.C.B.'s Thoughtfulness.
L.C.B.'s Thoughtfulness. The Clerk laid before the committee a letter from the Local Government Board requiring a housing scheme to be carried out by the Council with respect to the displacement of persons of the working classes by the proposed Libra- ry Site acquisition.
i Miscellaneous. !
Miscellaneous. The report of the Medical Officer of Health on the dust nuisance in Maesy- drt1 «*as considered when, after dis- cussion, it was recommended that the burning of refuse be discontinued until such time as a proper destructor is in- stalled for the purpose, and that the manager prepare a report by the next Council meeting dealing with the whole matter. After a lengthy discussion on a pro- posal to erect a new hospital house for the Medical Officer of Health, it was re- solved to recommend that a house not exceeding E800 in cost be erected near the New Hospital, having regard to the advantages which would accrue to patients from such a procedure—an agreed rental to be paid therefor by the Medical Officer of Health. Nurse Carter, the health visitor, had applied for an increase of salary, and the Finance Committee recommended that her salary be increased from £80 to £85, with three further annual incre- ments of L5, making a maximum of tIO0 per annum. Several tenders had come to hand for carrying out private streets improve- ments in Fairview Terrace, Cwmaman. That of Mr D. Tyssul Davies, t268 12s., was the lowest, and it was adopted. For carrying out improvements to the footpath at Abercwmboi, the tender of Messrs. John Morgan and Son (Aber- dare) Ltd., was accepted. Mr J. W. Hek was the only tenderer for cutting the hay at the cemetery, and his tender was adopted. Mr. Rees Llewelyn, agent of the Municipal Employees Association, wrote asking for 3s. per week increase for the Park Inspector. Mr AVm. Rees referred to the wages of the Cwmaman Park-keeper, and the whole matter was referred to com- mittee. The agent of the estate on the east side of the river in Maerdy (within the area of Aberdare Council) wrote regard- ing a proposal to erect 300 houses on the land and asked Aberdare, in conjunction with the Rhondda Council, to make ar- rangements for the disposal of sewer- age.—The Clerk said he had written for block plans. St. Joseph's Church, Cwmaman, asked for the use of Cwmaman Park for garden sports.—Granted. Mr Wm. Rees made a complaint that the water supply had been stopped in Globe Row and adjacent streets since Friday.—The Deputy Surveyor said that this was the first he had heard of it. He promised to attend to it at once. A brake licence was granted in favour of Thomas Thomas, Cwmbach Road.

Morgan, Abernantygroes, of the necessary land for such improve- ments. Resolved that the consider- ation of this scheme and estimate be deferred until such time as Lord Mer- thyr can be interviewed as to the ac- quisition of other land for other im- provements; that Air Morgan, Aber- nantygroes, be asked to keep his offer open until then, and that in the mean- time the Surveyor prepare a full scheme of improvement to the Cwmbach Road, embodying therein, inter alia, the im- provement of the Werfa Bridge.

An application was read from the Merthyr Motor Club for permission to hold a Motor Cycle Hill Climb on the road between the Earl Grey Inn, Llwyd- coed, and the crest of the hill below the Dynevor Arms, on the 13th August. Resolved to recommend that the appli- cation be granted, subject to sufficient protection being provided for the safety of other users of the road.
Proposed Housing Scheme.
Proposed Housing Scheme. The Housing Committee reported that they had visited several sites in the lower district for the purpose of giving effect to the Council's resolution to erect 200 houses, when it was resolved that the clerk be directed to obtain the terms per acre (leasehold and freehold) from the owners of the following sites for the above purpose :—Ty Fry, Monk- street; Abernant, opposite Council's tenements; Blaengwawr Field, behind Gamblyn-terrace; Glanrhyd. beyond Glynhafod School (both sides of brook). -the Clerk read a letter from Mr. D. R. Llewellyn, confirming the arrange- ment made between this committee and himself on the 16th inst., with respect to the purchase of the land between the Trecynon Halt and the Tanybryn Brick- works, conditional upon the Council paying the costs of his solicitor, Mr. Griffith Llewellyn.
Advertisements on cars.
Advertisements on cars. The Clerk reported that one tender only had been received for the right of advertising on the Council's cars, the terms of which are as follows :—For the sole advertising right on all cars and buses for a period of three years, with an option of continuing for a further two years With window bills, E255 per annum; without window bills, t235 per annum.—Your committee recommend that the above tender of Messrs.

After hearing the Clerk and the Manager upon the matter, it was re- solved to recommend that the Clerk he instructed to write the contractors, pointing out the dissatisfaction of the Council with the execution of the con- tract, and that they would be held re- sponsible for any delay, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. The question of workmen's fares be- tween Abercwmboi and Cwmaman was deferred until a proper workmen's ser- vice on the trackless routes is estab- lished.

Llwydcoed Developments.
Llwydcoed Developments. The Health and Housing Committee reported :—" Mr D. R. Llewelyn met your committee on the land between the Trecynon Halt of the G.W.R. and the lanybryn Brickworks, and negotiations for such land were proceeded with. It is estimated that such piece of land is available for the erection of about 50 houses. It was ultimately agreed be- tween the parties that the necessary portion of the above land be purchased by the Council for building purposes at £ o00 per acre, the boundaries to be agreed upon by Mr Llewelyn and the Surveyor, and subject to the proposed building scheme being carried out on Garuen Village lines, to the approval 01 Messrs Llewelyn and J. AVindsor Lewis. Your committee unanimously resolved that no action be taken at present in the matter of building on the field be- tween Horeb Terrace, Llwydcoed, and Llwydcoed Railway Station." With regard to the above matter, Mr D. H. Llewelyn now wrote that he was sorry to inform the Council that Mr Windsor Lewis had refused his consent to allow a re-sale of the land prior to its development. Mr Llewelyn added that he had bought the land from Mr. Lewis on the distinct understanding that it would be developed on garden city lines. He suggested that the Council write to Mr Lewis asking him to let the sale go through. Mr Illtyd Hopkins moved that thev write Mr Windsor Lewis, and that Mr. Llewelyn be thanked for his prompt letter. This was agreed to.

.- -----------,------Aberdare…
Aberdare Listens. Aberdare listens when a neighbour speaks, for there could be no more straightforward, honest evidence than the word of one who lives here amongst us. It is an Aberdare resident who speaks here. On July 14th, 1909, Mrs. E. Williams,, of 11, Penybryn-street. Gadlys, Aber- dare, said:—" I had severe pains in my back and loins for a long time. no doubt as the result of a chill. I was suddenly attacked one night with such a fearful pain in my back that I almost fell. "I applied flannel with turpentine, and also had medical treatment, but with only temporary relief, for shortly afterwards I had another attack. I failed to get proper rest at night, and had bad headaches, accompanied by at- tacks of dizziness. There were urinary troubles also. "But the medicine from which I ob- tained the greatest benefit was Doan's backache kidney pills. I had read and heard of these, and was led to try them myself. My back became stronger, and I felt altogether better in health than I had been for some time. I think highly of the medicine, and can well re- commend it for kidney trouble." On April 2lst, Imnearly five years later-Mrs. Williams said :—"I am splendid now, and I always recommend Doan's pills." Backache, gravel, dropsical swellings, urinary disorders, rheumatic twinges, headaches and dizzy spells are enough cause to suspect kidney disease. Doan's backache kidney pills are solely for the kidneys and bladder, and afford health and strength to thousands. Price 2s. 9d. a box, 6 boxes 13s. 9d.: of all dealers, or from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells St., Oxford St., London, W. Don't ask for backache or kidney pills—ask distinctly for Doan's backache kidney pills, the same as Mrs. Williams had.
