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.
