Mr S Shipton appeared for the plaintiff. Plaintiff stated that lie was the owner of the premises. 57 Oxford St. He let the premises to defendant on April 17th. There had been a difficulty in getting the previous tenants out^of the shop owing to the fixtures. Wit- ness bought the fixtures and sold them to Broadbent. An agreement was en- tered into with the defendant. When the first month's rent was due witness went down to see defendant and offered to let him have the fittings for JE2 10s., on condition that lie paid the rent due. Wm. Stuckey, clerk to Mr. Shipton, was present when plaintiff offered to 1 sell the fixtures for 50s. Defendant used them every day. Defendant stated that he had never agreed to buy the fixtures. Judgment for defendant.

Electric Sub-Stations. Letters had been received from John Morgan (for Ynysmeurig Estate) and from Lewis D. Nicholl (Vaughan Lee Estate) re sites for electricity sub- stations at Abercynon and Penrhiw- ceiber. The first was referred to com- mittee. With regard to the other letter it was resolved to write to Mr Nicholl asking him to provide free access to the site.

Sewage Farm, Abercynon. The Aberdare District Council wrote in reference to a wall near the sewage farm. Abercynon. which was in a dangerous condition. The Surveyor was directed to report.

Hoardings. The Aberaman Billposting Co. re- peated their application for permission to erect a hoarding on the wall near Nixon's Navigation Crossing. Miskin Road, and wanted to know why the Council had previously refused the re- quest. It was decided that the application be again refused, and that no reasons be given. At the last meeting of the Council a resolution was passed asking Billposting Companies to remove papers and posters which were taken off hoardings, from the roads. The Aheraman Co. now replied that they always carefully re- moved the debris. No other Billposting Co. had been w ritten to. Mr Bruce Jones moved that in future the Inspector of Nuisances report to the Council when he saw any debris lying about. The Clerk mentioned that the Coun- cil had no regulations whatever regard- ing hoardings. Mr Millar moved that the Clerk draft regulations.

Civic Sunday. The Chairman, on behalf of Capt. EN-ans, High Constable of Miskin Higher, invited the Council to attend service at St. Margaret's Church next Sunday morning, when Civic Sunday would be observed. He added that the procession would assemble near the County School and proceed to St. Mar- garet's. The members accepted the invitation, and commended the idea of observing a Civic Sunday.

Mountain Ash District Council Oi^ Tuesday Mr Griffith Evans, J.P., in the chair. The other members pres- ent were Messrs. Thomas Jones, Dr. R. D. Morgan, Bruce Jones, Dd. Rogers Capt. G. A. Evans, J.P., W. Millar' Noah Bowles. T. W. Jones, Evan Morris, James Evans, Chas. Maddox G H. Hall, and W. Lamburn, with Mr 1 r Arthur Pincombe (clerk), Mr F. Stock (accountant), Mr \Y. G. Thomas (sur- veyor), and Mr H. T. Jones (sanitary inspector).

Proposed Abercynan Park. Messrs. L. G. Williams and Pritcli- ard, solicitors to the Bonvilstone Es- { tate, sent in a draft agreement for the Council's purchase of Jand for Aber- cynon Recreation Ground. Mr Bruce Jones asked if there was any clause in the agreement precluding the Council from using the land for any other purpose should they desire to do so at any time. The Clerk replied that there was such a clause. If the Council wanted to use the land for any purpose except for a public park, the consent of the vendors must first be obtained. Mr Bruce Jones Wei] I don't believe in that, and I move that the Clerk be asked to write with the view of deleting that clause. Mr D. Rogers agreed that the Coun- cil should have perfect liberty. Mr Jones' motion was carried.

Capt. C. A. Evans Offers an Explan- ation. Territorial's Leave of Absence.—Echo of Education Committee Incident. Capt. Evans asked permission of the Chairman to raise a personal matter. He said "I would like to have your in- dulgence just for a few moments in order to offer an explanation in con- nection with a matter which arose at the last meeting of the Education Com- mittee, when those of you who were present heard the application made by Mr. Fred Griffiths for three days' leave of absence to attend camp. In the course of the discussion that took place I protested against what I considered to he a very unfair treatment of this young man: This young man, like many others, sacrifices a great deal or his time to carry out what he con- siders to be a duty incumbent upon h.m for the benefit of his country. Whilst I do not in any way desire to withdraw any opinion which I then expressed in the discussion in connection with this application, I was very sorry to lind that a remark which I made by way or a soliloquy after the voting, was over- heard and taken up by some of the Press. I am sure you will all believe n e when. I say tho remark was never in- tended to have been heard at 11 by anyone. But in consequence of what had passed, and in the heat of tne mo- ment possibly, a remark came out in a way which was no doubt heard by .some present, especially the Press representa- tives, who were quite near me at the time. Now 1 wish to say that Dr. Moigan and myself have always been on friendly terms, and as far as I am concerned, I still have that feeling, and am Aeiy sorry that this particular phrase which might be construed to re- nect upon him as a fellow-officer should have been used. I did not in any way desire to pass any personal reflection's upon mm, and 1 hope 1 have not in any way done so. However, I still deplore and protest against the action of those of the committee in refusing to grant this young man's application. It is iar from my desire to make any remarks j at these meetings which would have any j personal reflection upon any of my col- leagues, and I felt it was my duty to offer this explanation, and I trust it will be accepted. In dealing with this question, I may refer to the patriotic manner in which this young man has taken this matter up, and to say that lie has since written me expressing his thanks for what was done on his behalf, and sayiug that he would relieve me of any obligation I had entered into to pay him any deduction which may be made out of his salary." Chairman: You have heard Capt. Evens' explanation. Has anyone any- thing to say ? Dr. Morgan: After that explanation the only thing I ask for is that the Press will give it equal publicity to what was said a week ago, and 1 hope the in- cident is now closed. Mr Thomas Jones said that in conse- qut-nce ot the attitude he took up some people had called him a puritan. All he could say was that he was pleased to be a puritan.

Trades Council and Minutes. A month ago the Mountain Ash Trades Council wrote asking the Dis- trict Council to supply copies of their minutes to the Workmen's Institutes in the district. It was then resolved that neighbouring Councils be asked what was the practice in their districts. Re- plies were now received that copies were given to Public Free Libraries. 31 r Noah Bowles moved that the re. quest he granted. He thought that the public had a right to know what they were doing, and sometimes more information could be obtained from the minutes than from the reports in the Press. Capt. Efans agreed with Mr Bowles. The only question was whether other institutions such as clubs, etc., would want the same privilege. As a matter of fact there were no free libraries in the Mountain Ash district. Mr G. H. Hall seconded the motion that the application be granted. The cost of printing four more copies would bo very small. Of course the Press gave an account of a portion of their work. hut sometimes it was only the spicy hits the took up. (Laughter.) Mr D. Rogers supported the motion, and said it would be a good thing if the public took more interest in Coun- cil work. Mr Bruce Jones said he had every sympathy with the request, but he noted that Aberdare Council supplied only public free libraries. Mr T. W. Jones moved that the matter be deferred for a fortnight to enable the Clerk to report further. Mr. James Evans seconded, and this was carried.

An Abercynon Death-trap. The Clerk of the County Council wrote in reply to a communication from Mountain Ash, declining to undertake the work of widening the main road at c'1°™er under the bridge crossed by • (.Merthvr branch) trains at Abercynon. Mr Bruce Jones moved that a copy of the letter be sent to the local County Council members. Dr. Morgan remarked that there ought to be a bvelaw to limit the speed of motor cars. J r. Bruce Jones thought that a sign ought to be put up warning motorists that the speed at that particular spot should not exceed 5 miles an hour. fr. Charles Maddox observed that the place in question was a death-trap. Mr Bruce Jones' suggestion re send- ing copies of the letter to local mem- bers was adopted.

Penderyn waterworks. The Clerk reported that a L.G.B. In- spector had held a local inquiry into the application of the Council for a further Joan of £40,000 to construct Penderyn Waterworks. He added that the L.G .B. had asked for the repayment to ^tended for a period of 45 vfars. tne Inspector would report in due course.

St. John Ambulance and Red Cross Society. A meeting of the Duffryn, Darranlas and Miskin members was held on July 7th to discuss the question of making provision of an ambulance station for the joint use of the Red Cross Society and the St. John Ambulance Brigade. There were present representing the Red Cross, Dr. Arthur T. Jones, Messrs •T. C. Bluett and R. R. Griffiths. Re- presenting the St. John Ambulance Bri- gade, Messrs Esaiah Harris and Arthur Dudden. The committee explained to the depu- tations the Council's powers in the matter of the provision of an ambulance and ambulance station as laid down by the Local Government Board, and in- timated to them that the Council would probably be willing to provide one build- ing for the use of both societies, and that the Council could not entertain the question of providing a separate build- ing for each. The committee requested the deputations to convey the Coun- cil's views to their respective societies, and to let the Council know at a later date whether both societies would agree to work harmoniously by having the joint use of one building. The Clerk now reported that another meeting had been called, but that no members of the Red Cross put in an ap- pearance. Mr Bruce Jones: I have heard it rumoured that they have gone to Ulster. (Laughter.) Mr D. Rogers moved that the matter be referred to a committee dealing with the Navigation Ground. Mr Lamburn moved that a station be erected at a cost of £ 100. Mr G. H. Hall questioned the wisdom of erecting a number of small buildings on the Navigation Grounds. It would b better to erect one substantial build- ing. The question should be referred to the Surveyor to have a block plan. Mr Noah Bowles agreed. Mr Lamburn was afraid that this would delay the provision of a building for the Ambulance Brigade- Fi esti Finally Mr Hall's suggestion was agreed to and the Surveyor directed to prepare a report. Dr. Morgan gave notice of motion that an ambulance station be erected at Ynysybwl.

Shop Hours Act Again. Mr. S. Shipton, solicitor, writing on behalf of a number of fish salesmen and fruit shopkeepers asked the Council to alter the closin"1 hours. He added that the early hours' militated badly against the business of his clients, because the stuff perished in a very short time. Mr Bruce Jones I suppose the people want fish suppers after the theatre, the same as they do in London. Mr Noah Bowles remarked that very soon they would have nothing of the Order left. There were some applica- tions constantly for alteration of hours. ('apt. Evans We might as well do awav with the Act altogether. Mr Thomas Jones was m favour of doing their best under the provision ol the Act, not only for the sake of the shop-keepers, but for the sake of the assistants. Mr Rogers: So far as the assistants are concerned, the Act protects them still. Some of the clauses dealing with assistants are compulsory. Mr Bruce Jones said that fish shops and other shops ought to close at 11 o'clock even on Saturday nights. It was scandalous that young ^people of both sexes should be about the streets at 12 o'clock midnight, and sometimes till 1 a.m. on Sunday. On the motion of Mr Millar, Mr Ship- ton's petition was referred to the In- spector to ascertain whether there was a majority of traders in favour of alter- ing the hours.

Carnetown Water Supply. Mr E. Williams, Llandaff, secretary of the Carnetown Cottage Co., Ltd, wrote regarding the restricted supply of water they were able to give to their houses at Abercynon.—The letter was referred to committee. Mr Bruce Jones moved that a one- inch pipe be laid to convey water to 5 houses near Abercynon Colliery.

Ynysybwl Park. Dr. Morgan referred to the need of placing seats in Ynysybwl Park, and the Surveyor was asked to provide an estimate.

Furniture for Hospital. A subcommittee reported that they had visited furnishers' shops in Cardiff and elsewhere to purchase furniture. etc., required at the Infectious Diseases Hospital, .Mountain Ash. They stated that the furniture and other articles' submitted for their inspection at Mr. Victor Freed's, Mountain Ash, were of a superior quality and very cheap as compared with Cardiff, therefore they recommended that the Council purchase the whole of the things necessary from Mr Victor Frec(I.-The recommendation was adopted.

Abercynon Subway.- Di ssa tisfaction. The following report was submitted The committee considered the report of Colonel Druitt to the Board of Trade on his recent inquiry into the question of the access to Abercynon Station. The Clerk read draft letter to the President of the Board of Trade, Mr John Burns, M.P., setting forth the Council's dis- satisfaction with Colonel Druitt's report in respect of the proportion of the ex- pense of constructing the new subway which he recommended that the Council should be called upon to contribute. Colonel Druitt recommending that the Council should pay two-thirds of the cost, whereas the committee think that this proportion should be considerably modified. Proposed by Councillor G. H. Hall, seconded by Councillor Charles Maddox, that the Clerk's draft reply be approved, and that Mr Edgar R. Jones, M.P., and Mr Clement Edwards, M.P., be requested to be good enough to co-operate with Mr Keir Hardie, M.P., in the matter, and that the Clerk be authorised to send a copy of his letter to the President of the Board of Trade to the before-named three Mem- bers of Parliament. Proposed by Coun- cillor T. W. Jones, seconded by Coun- cillor William Da vies, that we recom- mend the Council to consider at a later date, when the matter has further de- veloped, the desirability of appointing a small deputation to wait on the Presi- dent of the Board of Trade, to urge the Council's views upon him.

"My First Guinea." A STORY OF DR. VAUCHAN. The late Dr. Vaughan, the famous headmaster of Harrow, afterwards Mas- ter of the Temple and Dean of Llandaff, relates the following story concerning an incident of his boyhood:- "Well do I remember," he says, "re- ceiving my first guinea; how perplexed I was, and how great was my fear of losing my precious gift. I remember walking down a street, and placing my hand in my pocket quite frequently, in order to be reassured that my guinea was safe. Presently I came to a shop where a book auction was taking place, and listened for a few minutes to the proceedings." After a short time, Ra- leigh's "History of the World," in two volumes, was put up for sale. The bid- ding proceeded, and I at last timidly ventured to bid. The auctioneer turned and said smilingly to me, What, my young friend, are you not content with anything less than the World ? This brought a blush to my face. and the at- tention of the whole company was turned towards me. The people pre- sent, noticing my ambition to possess the volumes, discontinued to bid, and I obtained my prize at a reasonable price. After the assistant had tied the books together, I began to wonder how I was to get them home; the auctioneer offered to send them for me, but I, not knowing what kind of men auctioneers were, determined to take them myself. Placing the books on my shoulder, I proceeded out of the shop feeling like Samson carrying the Gates of Gaza. On arriving home, the door being opened by a servant, the first person I met was my mother, who said to me, 1, Well, my boy, what have you bought nowP I knew you would not keep that guinea long." Do not be cross, mother." I ånswered, "I have bought the World for nine shillings." That night I remember sitting up un- til nearly midnight, turning the pages of the volumes over. I read them through carefully, and it is to these books that I attribute my love for liter- ature, which has given me so much pleasure, and which I would not be with- out for all the riches of India.

The business of the mating stharted by Spud singing a song, "Make-new friends, but keep the old ones," an by what Oi am towld he sang it mosht sw ately; thin he made a spache, an said that the mating was called for a mosht specil purpose, one thing was, to thank the people of Abercynon an dishrict for giying Raffertv such a foine welcome the other noight, an that it be entered in the minute book. Thin Mike sang. H Are we all here," when Biddy said ^hire is Patrick. The chairman said. Play something Irish in Ragtime." An Biddy sang "Hey, Ho! can't vou hear the steamer," on the canal side, savs Spud. Thin business stharted in earn- est. Its a grate chairman is Spud, sor, viry grate, the way he gave out the bananas was a trate to witness. He stharted to spake by saying something about yer own swate Pat laving the town of Aberdare one noight, an that his land- lady had bane looking for him, ever since. Thin Oi arrived puffing an blowing loike a T.V.R. trane going up the bank to Quakers Yard. an Oi was asked for an explanootion, an is that correct, sor, Oi stharted to spake, but Spud sthopped misilf by saying that Oi could sing if Oi loiked, so Oi sang H Whpn Oi lost you," I Mosht appropriate says he. That's just what the landlady said, so then Oi sang "We'll all go home in Ragtime." Charlothee wanted to know if Oi inten- ded to go back to Aberdare. Thin Dennis sang Innocent Bessie Brown." Spud wanted to know what sort of toime Oi was having at the "Hub of the Uni- verse, whin Biddy sang another song. "They're all good lads at Abercynon." Con Regan asked if thire was anything throubling misilf an Biddy, thin Spud sang. Dance your troubles away," but thire was no room, the shop was full loike the lasht tram home to Aberaman. Thin Spud brought on the subject of the evening, "Re-distribution of seats." an it was decided that Raffertv should in future remain the member of the con- stituency from the Boi Brook at Aber- cwmboi, down as far as Carnetown, ex- tending over the area of the Mountain Ash District Council, an that the Council should still retain its original name as heretofo, an ever-after, as long as ye loike, an that he shall, if he behaves himsilf, visit an report the doings at Aberdare occasionally." Shure man, an its toired Oi am, an will someone phone for an icicle. Its hot, moighty warm. It was resolved that the question of the Mount canal bridge should be pushed forward, an if possible, to push it over. Carried unanimously.
