In his letter of ap- plication, Mr G. W. Browne, the manager, wrote that he had received a petition signed by 450 adlulte in Craigydon supporting his request, and that he proposed to charge a penny fare for the journey from Nantyga- mar-<road to Vaughan-street, and a penny fare from Queen Vroad1, Cfraigydon, to Gloddaeth-street, these being more conven- ient stages than those of the electric cars, as well as longer. After full discussion, the application was acceded1 to, subject to the fol- lowing conditions :-(1) The vehicles to run along M^ostyjn-a(venfuie, Mostyn Broadway, and MoStyn-street, and not along the sea front. 1(2) No service of vehicles on Sun- days. (3) The vehicles not to be run at a peed exceeding ten miles an hour. (4) The vehicles not to carry aily advertisement, or notice excepting such as may be approved by the Byelaws Committee of the Council. fl5) The vehicles to be driven only by duly- tfualified drivers holding the license of the lOouricil. (6) The bye-laws of the Council and the regulations thereunder shall, as far as possible, be deemed to apply to these vehicles. (7) This license shall expire at the end of the current licensing year. March il, 1911. (8) A-fter leaving the terminus in each direction the vehicles shall not stop icmtil the completion of the journey except for the purpose of picking up or setting down passengers, and in no case shall a ve- hicle stop at any of the usual stopping places of the light railway cars.—The resi- dents of Craigydon are dissatisfied with the newly-acrrantgied penny stages of the Light Railway Company*, and, as a protest, de- cided to promote the new venture.

Druiy held an inquiry, on Thursday, in the Coun- cil Chambers, on behalf of the Local Go- vernment Board, touching the application of the local authority, for sanction to bor- row £ 21,000 for completing a large scheme of surface water drainage of the district, and the extension of the. main sewer to Craigydon.—Mr A. Conolly, the clerk of the Council, said that first of all, it was pro- posed to carry out the surface water outfall works, which would cost JB7600. The new drain would draw off the water from the low-lying land in the town, which, at pre- sent, became water-logged. The surveyor (Mr E. P. Stephenson) recently prepared an claiborate report dealing with the whole sub- ject. The surface ivater drainage works were considered to be the most pressing part of the scheme, and the rest would fol low. the whole scheme being expected to b"; completed in three years. Some years ago an arrangement was made with the Ec- clesiastical Commissioners to reocOnstrucl., surface outfall on the west shore, so that there would be only one, outfall pipe instead of two. a.nd the puipe, would be placed below tJle level of the sands. The commissioners proposed to develop the West Shore Estate and desired that this outfall should be out of sischt.—Mr Stephenson (en- gineer to the Council) gave evidence as to the engineering aspect of the works, ana was asked bv the inspector what ground he had for supposing that the outfall would not silt up.—'Mr Stephenson replied that there had always been a kind of sump or pit in the sands where the outfall would 'be. Although the channel of the Ccmwav had altered, there had been no alteration in the position of the sump referred to. His ex- perience was that engineers' outfalls never did silt tup.—Mr E. E. Bone (chairman ot the Council), who stated that the Council wore njianimous as to the necessity for the proposed expenditure, proposed a vote of thanks to the inspector. This was seconded by Mr S. Chantrev, and carried. MR WEEDS' RETIREMENT. —On Sat- urday night, Mr W.
