CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL
CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL ROOFING OF MARKET DISCUSSION. The usual monthly meeting of the Town Council was held at the Shire Hall on Tuesday evening Jast, the Mayor (Alderman Walter Lloyd) presiding. There were also present: Aldermen John Lewis, G. Tre- harne, H. E. B. Richards, and David Samuel, and Councillors John Morgan, J. Crossman, A. J. Jones, William Thomae, W. V. H. Thomas, John Lloyd, William Evans, Walter Spurrell, W. Isaac, E. V. Collier, George Morgan, C. Sutcliffe, D. E. Williams, O. Jones, J. N. Williams, J. B. Arthur, James Davies, and L. D. Thomas; together with the Town Clerk (Mr. James John); the Borough Surveyor (Mr. F. J. Finglah); Supt. T. Smith; Mr. David Evans (rate collector), and Mr. James Evans (inspector of nuisances). CORRESPONDENCE. A letter was received from the Postmaster (Mr. J. D. Jones) with regard to a complaint which had been made by Mr. Astlev, mail carrier, as to a deep dip in the gutter from the back of the Post Office premises in Spilman-street. over which the mail cart had to pasg. He asked that something be done in the matter.—The Surveyor said that the gutter had' been put down by the authorities when they built the new Post Office. He did not know whether the Town Council thought they should maintain it. or thai: they should improve a practically new spot. Ten shillings would cover the whole work of level- ling the pavement.—Mr. George Morgan said that Mr. Astley had told him that he had had two shafts broken at that spot.—The matter was referred to the Public Works Committee with full powers. ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY'S OFFER. The solicitors acting for the Carmarthen Electric- Supply company wrote saying that the Com- pany was buying a piece of land behind the fair ground, and they wanted to know whether Fair- lane was public or not. The Town Clerk had re- plied in the affirmative. As part of the sale, they in- tended dedicating to the public a plln of the land, and would be glad to hear that the Corporation would accept the dedication, and that the public sewers would be carried up to that point.—Mr. James Davies proposed, and Mr. Walter Spurrell seconded, that the offer be- accepted.—It was de- cided not to accept the offer until the road was made. The Company also wanted information as to the number of gas lamps, and this was referred to the Surveyor with full powers. OVERHEAD WIRES CONSENTED TO. The Board of Trade- wrote saying that they had consented to the undertakers of the Electric Light Order fixing overhead wires in the Borough. The bill of the Gas Company for the quarter end- ing March 31st was ordered to be passed, subject to the approval of the Surveyor. THE GORSEDD SITE. Mr. Henry Howeli nlld Mr..J. J), Jonet- (post- master), as a deputation from the Royal National Eisteddfod 1911 Committee, made an application with regard to the site of the Gorsedd.—Mr. Howell said that he was there to a>k the Council to allow them to erect the Gorsedd in the Park. The Proclamation would take place on the 22rd June next, and they simply wanted to erect 12 stones, within which the proceedings wookl take place. The exact site was not yet fixed. The two most .-uitable were one be- tween the bandstand and the [rack, and one to the east of that.Nlr. -J. R Arthur proposed that the application be granted.—Mr. Coilir asked how long the stones had to remain in the same place.—For 12 months. They must be untrimmed stones.—Mr. Jas. DaYiev: Rough diamonds! I would like some diamonds myself (laughter).—Mi-. Richards said that a lot depended upon where the stones were to be placed, because they might interfere with the August Bank Holiday E'td(Ifod.-Tlit- Mayor said that the sites suggested would not interfere with the eistedd- fod.— Mr. James Davies seconded Mr. J. B. Arthur's proposition, which was supported by Mr. Crossman, on condition that the ground was left, in the same Ftate 8i' it was at the beginning.—The motion to give permission was carried. THE QUESTION OF A PAVILION. SUGGESTED ROOFING OF MARKET. A deputation, heaued by the Rev. T. R. Walter (chairman ot itie Executive Committee of the Royal .National Eisteddfod 1911), appeared on behalf of tho Committee to ask the Council to consent to a scheme for roofing tue market for the Eisteddfod. Mr. Walters react a resolution parsed the lew nights previous by the Executive Committee ot the Royal National EisteddioU to be lieid in Carmarthen in 1911, as followsRet-oived that a deputation be appointed to wait, upon the Town Council of the Borough, to ask them if rhey ari, prepared to make any alterations to the present, market-place, likely to make it of more general utility, and the fol- lowing gentlemen, who were present with him were appointed, viz.:—The Rev. E. C. Thomas, Mr. Rees Davies, the Rev. A. Fuller Mills, Mr. E. Colby Evans, and the Rev. D. J. Thomas. All his hearers knew perfectly well without, going too much into eisteddtodic matter;, that Carmarthen was the home and birthplace of the Eisteddfod. Ib they had it now. If they went back to the 15th century there was a great mark made in all things connected with the Eisteddfod, to the credit ot the ancient Borough. He might, further say that great efforts had been made with the Gorsedd and the Federation connected with the National Eisteddfod to induce them to bring the Eisteddfod ro Carmarthen. Most of them present had had the matter before them, because in the very initial stages of the efforts the Town Council had been consulted as to their approval of the scheme, and they were consulted with stiece.,s, approving of the steps proposed to be taken, and promising through iheir then Mayor (Mr. Crossman) thar they would be glad to do anything in their power to welcome the Eisteddfod and to support their cause before the Eisteddfod Committee and the Gorsedd in London, with an effect that was not lost on anyone present. •The promise had. of course, naturally lingered in the minds of those who heard ir, and amongst others in his own mind. Great hope- were naturally based on that promise, alld oil the action taken by the Town" Council in asking th« Mayor to represent them at the meeting, and. of course, no one in Carmarthen at that moment had the slightest doubt in the world that the Town Council, headed by the Mayor and those who occupied ear. with the hope of taking that position later on. were as determined now as they were then to do all they could to welcome the Eisteddfod. Bnt there was just one question which came before them for solution as townspeople gener- ally, and that was what direct ion was that welcome and that, assistance going ro take. It was a matter of very great importance for the encouragement- of those who were endeavouring to work up the T'.ts- teddfod to know exactly the position tlie Mayor and Corporation were likely to take. They were al! anxious to se< the Eisteddfod conic to Oiwmartben and tin re was nof one that worn I no* re em any ¡ imputation to the contrary. It 'a, not < nougn. t w- «.\er, to be anxious ro see it. ti.ey ?•« n:i M>mel hn:.r more in the way of active men ^ures ivfore they (ould hope TO make it a success. Nov vrth rei-; 1«' to an idea that had Iwcn ventilated in many places and before the Town Conn. before that rheie Wcr" certain alterations to the market that considered a being advantageous to the town at I large, and SD. in earrvinsr out the idea of fno resolution that he had read, it was to make altera- tions to the market-place likely to make it of greater utility in the future. This was" put forward in a general sense, and in no ventured an opinion to that or any other government, lie need scarcely adduce any rea-ons for improving the I' marl-ot-place. No one who attended the last Christ- IIIa, market did not regret that there was no covered place for the poor people who had to stand out ill the drenching rain trying to sell what often became sodden poultry. Again, a large building was very desirable for punioses connected with the town and other social questions which would suggest them- selves to tlwi" minds. Instead of spending some £ 40. more or less, in frequently getting up an eis- teddfod in the park, that amount would be saved to the rates of the town by holding the Eisteddfod in the 1 a r ire covered place that the market would supply. The present was an especial I t.v which offered itse'f to them if they were so inclined to benefit the town very largely in that direction it would be an advantage to the Eisteddfod to he so located, but that w;is not the only reason there was an ooportunitv of benefiting the town very considerably. None of them were so indifferent to some hundreds of nounds that they could afford TO -let tliem go. A very larsre sum was paid every year by those who got un the Eisteddfod in order to cet a suitable and proper place in which to hold it. They did not want anything very great in C ar- marthen. but they wanted freedom from the in- clement weather. Instead of spending money on a structure which would only bo up for a week, and paying money into the pockets of people outside the town they could utilise the market for the town, and that was one of the reasons that they came before them that nignt. There was nothing 00 stop the National Eisteddfod Committee spending mon on a building that would be suitable for their pur- poses, without regarding the interests of the town whatever, but he would be personally sorry to think that- such an idea could be intendeu by anybody He would be inclined to say that they would be able to hand over a very handsome sum to the Town Council if they would provide the improvements which thev wanted. They were providing a feast ot -ood things which were being got together as rapidlj ^possibfe, and they would like a place belonging to the town for the good of the town ui which to display the viands they were offering. They had come, provided with plans and sp^ifacaUow, and particulars' of cost, which he handed to He appealed to them to giye the matter their and earnest consideration, and to think of it dis- passionately and not be frightened if they found that it would mean a little increase in the rates, because it would return to them in due course. He asked them to do this for the credit of the town and the Town Council at large, if he might put it bOo He hoyed they would be bale to take back a favourable response, and wished to thank them on oehalf ot himself and his colleagues for the very courteous manner in which they had received him. In answer to questions, Mr. W alters said that scheme o. 1. which would cover 4,000 square yards, would work out at accommodation for 8,000 people, and with corrugated iron roof would cost £ '2>y°y, slates £3,450. Scheme No. 2 would cover 3,950 square yards, and would cost £3,150. There was a third scheme of 2,450 square yards, corrugated iron roof, to cost £2,300, iron £2,500. The second might be extended, and would then cost £3,600. Asked whether accommodation for 8,000 would be enough, Mr. Walters said that they thought so for Carmar- then. It was a little bit remote from the great centres; it was better to have it so than to have a large place and small attendances. These estimates were given by the people who had prepared the plans, and who were prepared to do the wor kfor that price. The estimates did not include furnish- ing. The latter scheme was the one to which he re- ferred more especially. Mr. L. D. Thomas—What are you prepared to guarantee the Corporation for the use of the market for a week? I have heard it said that we are going to get £1,500. Mr Walters said he was in no position to guaran- tee anything, but had not the slightest doubt that before a single stone was laid full guarantees would be given. Thev did not know what the Council were going to do, so it was useless going into details. In answer to further questions, the proposed schemes would nrovide for the covering of the whole of the market within the road that ran round it. He did not know how long the life of the building would be. He did not know the estimated upkeep of the building. It was a question for the Council themselves. They knew the lines on which they were going. The deputation then withdrew. QUESTION DEFERRED. There was a motion Oil the agenda in the name of Alderman Treharne "that the Council consider the desirability of improving the market by covering a part or the whole thereof," but before he put his motion, Mr. W. Spurrell said that it was a very big question, and he did not think they should consider it that night. They should pay the deputation the courtesy of considering the matter carefully, and should go into the plans, etc., thoroughly, and he proposed that the question be adjourned to a special meeting for consideration. He only proposed it to save Mr. Treharne Josing a lot of time. rlhey would be sure to adjourn it in the end. Mr. Win. Evans seconded. Mr. Crossman proposed lhar they go into the matter thoroughly that night. Ho thought it. time that they threw the matter over or accepted it. Alderman Richards seconded. It was high time they came to some definite conclusion. On a division. 10 (amongst whom was Alderman Treharne) voted for the motion, and 11 against. Tho matter was therefore proceeded with, Mr. Treharne refusing- to postpone his motion. Mr. Treharne said that he was very pleased to seo so many influential ratepayers present, and honed thev were in sympathy with his motion. He con- tinued: The reason I have for making this proposal is that our market to-day ie far behind all other mark," of much less importance. We ought, to make > market much more attractive and com- fortabh • people who often travel 10 to 15 miles to dispose of their produce. The only reception they receive at our hands is: take your basket under that shed on a winter morning and sit or s.and there often for two or three hours before they can disjxrse of their goods. 1 call it nothing but a death-tran to many who sit there for hours. Mr. W. V. II. Thollla-b this a dialogue we have to listen to or a speech ? Mr. Treharne—Wait and see. I have heard many farmers say they prefer selling their produce at home than running the risk of injuring their health in our ancient marker. There is no protection cither winter or summer. Mr. W. V. H. Thomas—That is your opinion. Mr. Treharne said that. it was. Ho did not see why he should be interrupted. Mr. W. V. H. Thomas said that it was most uninteresting to hear a thing read off like that. Mr. Treharne—I am reading rllY opinion. I have seen women opening umbrellas to keep the. sun on their baskets ot butter on a hot summer's day, and often on a windy day of dust blow over the meat and different things, which is anything but. pleasant to ail concerned. When our market was built our forefathers thought then that some kind of covering was good; so they buih sheds, but to-day we are much more advanced. We want the, whole under cover. No doubt 25 years ago our market stood well alongside other markets, but we have been left behind. Take all the markets from Pem- broke Dock to Cardiff; they are ail covered in. eath, Aberavon, Swansea, Bridgend, Cardiff, and last, but no. least, Llaneliy market, which is con- sidered by experts the finest pavilion in the country, which ha." added greatly to the high revenue received annually. The lessee lasr week told me that. "the nsceipts had gone up by leaps and bounds since the pavilion has been built. and other towns have ex- perienced the same results. I am sure if other towns benefit so much Carmarthen will certainly fol- low. There is another reason I should like to mention. Take the poultry portion of the market, which is much too stuffy. There is no room to show or to purchase to advantage, and no doubt that has been the cause of so mucli pickpocketing going on. The nlace is too crowded, and as you know, sir, Christmas markets are held out in the open, be it fine or wet. I have seen baskeus of poultry placed on planks with three inches of snow under- neath. Is that any inducement for people to sup- port the market': 1 should say no, but a very strong argument in favour of covering the whole. There is one importam matter before 1 linish, that is the state of the present structure. A gentleman who has had occasion to notice every loot of wood- work, ray" I hat a large amount of money must be spent sooner or laker, so I thought that the present was the most opportune time for the improvement; now that the r.isteddtod Committee will hand over a handsome sum, also the Drill Hall Committee will, without a doubt, hand over JE600 or JE700, so reaay it will cost the town next to nothing. The Eisteddfod will, as a matter ot course, be a success, and in au- other 10 years we shall again invite the Eisteddfod, so that will be another £ i,(j0u: Tins is, without men- tioning the extra revenue we shall be receiving annually. The advantages of having a hall of the son-it can be used as a ball-room, concert-room, singing festivals, eisteddfodau, and save the com- mittee paying £ oG tor a marquee every year. As to cost 1 "intend adding a little to the estimate re- ceived. Put down, say £ £ ,6U(J, deduct amount you are sure to receive say that brings the amount down 10 £1,UfJ. and i think a Id. rate on the general district means iJlfca, so you hee it will not cosi Id. rate, and I am sure Carmarthen will not grudge the payment. :-00 now, sir, 1 hope we have met here to-night. w.thout prejudice, with an open mind. What- is best to be done, and to bury all self-interest for the best interest fit the rate- payers, and fo.. the improvement of their property, whom, 1 think, are in tuli sympathy with this move- ment. I'ersormljy I have nothing to gain, but I think the Council ought to consider tlie comfort of the many who to pay the nice sum \1;1 re- ceive unnuallv. So 1 hope, sir* we shall be unani- mous Oil the question. Mr. J. N. Williams seconded Mr. Treharne s mot ion. Mr. James Davies suggested that two or three of them should take the itmtier up; there was money in it. because if they were going to get £1,500 from it. and in another 10 yea's time another 12 or 15 hundred it was a capital thing. lie would form a company (laughter). It was only a tin tent, and would only last a year. The estimates did not pro- vide for the -eantl.im: It was a splendid chance for any gentleman in Carmarthen to (form a com- pany (laughter). The Mayor—Are you going to move the direct negative; Mr. James Davies—No. 1 merely passed the re- mark, -o that the town at huge may know. Mr. J. U. Arthur contended that the alteration to thp. market w(".¡jd spoil it heeau" it was open and airy. Again, Jt would h" unfurnished, al1d 110 one would Ilin. arl unfurnished room. Mr. John Lewis supported the proposal, and "aid that it need not cost them more than -£3.000 to have a slate roof. They c0l11d h01TU\I the money at £ 180 a year, alld it would not. menu a penny 011 the r;ites, and he had no doubt that the revenue which thev would ge> from the lessee <>,1Id hp a con- siderable gain. Mr. Crossman opposed thr motion OIl dIP ground rhat thev were 110'1 likely ill the fUlur" to get any mono money from tI". market because there were shops in town, and ;>< ople did not go 1'0 the market, to buy meat and butt-r the same as they used to. Moreover, traders went about the country buying froIO th" farmers, who consequently did not come to town. Alderman Richards wished to have an evening set apart from tho motion, so that they oould gOlllto it thoroughly. Mr. Spurrell also opposed the motion, and secon- ded Mr. Richards's suggestion, as he wished to have the matter thoroughly thrashed out. On a division, by 12 votes to 9, it was decided to adjourn the discussion until the following Monday evening. APPOINTMENT OF MANAGERS. lr. E. V. Collier, the Rev. E. U. Thomas, Mrs. II. E. B. Richards, and Mrs. C. Haydn Williams were appointed to serve on the Board of Manage- ment of the Carmarthen Intermediate School for the ensuing three years. A REDUCTION OF 6d. IN THE RATES. The borough, general district, and water rates for I the year ending March 31st, 1911, were fixed aa follows:—Borough rate, 2s. 4d., as tasfyear; general riti rate. 2s, 2d,! 2s. 8d. and water I rate, 2s. for ómê purposes, 2s. 4d. for manu- facturing purposes, as last year. Mr. L. D. Thomas said that there was a. reduction of 6d. in the rates. Had the increased assessment been taken into account, the reduction would have been lOd. instead of 6d. Tho Mayor said that thero were appeals pending, and he did not think it wise to take the new assess- ment into account until they were decided. The Town would get the benefit eventually. The Town Clerk pointed out that they were managing to work up credit balances, so as to get rid of bank charges. Mr. Samuel wanted the water rate to be reduced by 4d., but as a good sum in hand was needed, this was not done. This was all the business of interest.
WEST CARMARTHENSHIRE
WEST CARMARTHENSHIRE MR. JONES CREMLYN CONTINUES HIS, CAMPAIGN. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETINGS. This Meek, Mr. J. W. Jones Cremlyn, the pros- pective Unionist, candidate for the parliamentary division of West Carmarthenshire, brought his ac- tive Easter campaign to an. end. During the fort- night he has addressed over fifteen meetings in the constituency, and everywhere he has been cordially received, the gatherings being large and enthusias- tic. On the afternoon of the 4th inst. a meeting was held at the Town flail, Llanybyther, when Col. H. Davies-Evans, High mead, presided. In the course of his remarks the Chairman, pointed out that the taxation of the country was now something enormous, and it. could not stand any more. If they got into trouble with any foreign power, the result would be that the country would be in the greatest straits for money. Taxation could not be increased much more and they would be driven to borrowing: at high rates of interest. Those were points which he asked them to really consider. They could depend upon it that eventually the increased taxation would fall upon the working classes, and it certainly would lead to increased unemploy- ment in the country. It was a serious matter, for let them not forget that the capitalist oould' always invest his money in foreign countries, which meant ptoyment abroad. decrease of employment at, home, and increased em- ployment abroad. Mr. Jones Cremlyn, who was received with ap- plause. said that he had had a difficult fight in January last because they had not had a political campaign in the constituency for fourteen years, and they had been represented for 21 years by his friend, Mr. Lloyd Morgan, who represented what he regarded as the very best type of the Liberal Party, and misrepresented the Radical Party of the present day, because his views differed as diametric- ally from the present Radical-Socialist Party almost as much as his (Mr. Cremlyn"s) own. He knew he had to fight against an extremely moderate Liberal member, and for his own part he would far sooner fight the seat of a political bully than a gentleman like Air. Lioyd Morgan. He would sooner tight- sonic of the seats not far from there (laughter). Nevertheless they had to judge Mr. Lloyd Morgan not by his personal qualifications, but by the principles of the party with which he was unfor- tunately associated. At the time of the general election they were told by the responsible leaders of the Liberal Party that the first thing they would do when they came back to office was to pass the people's budget-tho budget which was essential for tho financial prosperity of the country. Well, had they done so? No. He asked every Liberal of the old school to remember that the Government had deliberately broken solemn promises which gave at the time of the election. To-day the Irish members were absolutely masters of the situation. He would like to know from any Liberal whether he believed that the House of Commons represented an authority from the electors in favour of Mr. Llovd George's budget? If it did, he was all the more surprised that the Government had not passed it. hy had they been afraid to put their own budget to the test ot the vote in the House of Commons? Of course there was not a single Welshman, of what- ever school of politics, who did not. know perfectly well that the Government had turned their -babcks on their own programme, had ignored their own King s speech, because they were fully cognisant of the fact that they had not a majority in the House in favour of their preciou-s budget (applause). They had to do what Mr. Redmond told them (laughter). A nice thing for the Prime Minister and the Chancellor to have to taKe their orders from Mr. Redmond, lie invited the people of the country to say they were not going to have then- politics dictated to them by Air. John Redmond and Mr. Keir Hardie (cheers). The Hish Na- tionalists wanted Home Rule, but. what good would that do them in Wales': If they looked at the poli- tical history of the country for the last 50 years, they would find that Ireland had been a tllOrn in the side of nearly every Government. They had made themselves a nuisance, always looking for an opportunity to disturb the trend of political affairs here. Why had not the Liberal Government done something for Wales which had so loyally and con- sistently supported them The present Government had sold the old Liberal Party into the hands of the Socialists and the Irish Party. The present Unionist a-arty was much more like the old Liberalism, and would do ort ■ for Wales, for the farming industry, and their country generally, than the present Radical-Socialist Party (cheers). The only way in which they couid get any relief at all from the growing burdens of Imperial taxation, and of local rates, was by adolitiirg" some method of Tariff Reform which was he first plank in the plat- form of the Unionist Party (applause). The usual votes of thanks terminated a splendid meeting. At night, Mr. Cremlyu addressed an audience of some hundreds at the School, Vclindre, Llandyssul, which is situaied in the heart of the weaving indus- try. Capt. Lewes, Plasgeler, occupied the chair. Mr. ( remlyn, who was heartiy received, referred to the woollen industry, and asked if anyone would tell him it was possible to manufacture finer or better woollen goods than those made in. Yorkshire, Welshpool, and the particular district in which he was then speaking. Did they believe it was necessary that so many expert weavers in those dis- tricts should be out of employment Did they think it was necessary to buy blankets and other articles woven in Germany (cries of "No.). He should think not, when they had their own men out of employment (hear, hear). He said they could make those goods better, and it would be more advantagegus to the people of this- country if they had to pay a little more to their own people for the article, because not. only would it be of better quality and last longer—economy in tlie end —but it would keep their own people in employ- ment (applause). Trades unions existed to protect the employed, and demanded tair wages for iheir labour, but how could they expect to get high wages unless the employer was prosperous himself. The prosperity of the one depended on the other (hear, hear). The more capital tlire was in the country the more money there would be for circu- lation as wages amongst the working classes. Dur- ing 1909, some £180,000,000 English money was in- vested, and 0111 of that vast sum only :1::1:>,000,000 was invested in this country, the other was invested abroad, to g*i\e employment alld pros- Iw\.it", to other countries. If capital left, the coun- try it was bound to bring misery and unemploy- ment to all classes except the capitalists, who would be able to take their money abroad and get :1 good return for it. When they saw capital kav- ing the country in such vast sums surely it was time they looked round and examined tle causp. One great cause was tlie continuance of the system of socalled Free Trade. Employment was being driven out of the country by the unfair foreign competition which existed IIn(J(r theIr present sys- tem of trading. It was lime they protected their industries, and said to the foreigner, "We will treat you no bettor ill our markets thall you trpat liS 111 That was a ¡".rr.-e1!,y fair business -proposi- tion. Another cause was the socialistic tendency of the present Government, which frightened investors, and instead of encouraging them to circulate money ill thi" country, forced 1IH:11I to take it abroad, lie pointed our how Canada had been abie to triumph over the Cmted States of America by being in a position 1(1 retaliate unless America came 10 terms with her. IF Canada, ¡th hpr small IH)pnlatJOIi, could .141 that. why should 1101 a great nation like Ktighind, wIth all her great statesmen, and Iwr great Empire, be in a similar position. Tanfl He- form could alone solve the difficult problems of that day. Hp did nut say it was pprwcea or alI evils, bur it would go a long way to alleviate a. lar^e 111111/1)(, of tlt"I/1 ¡!¡par, hear). It woufd diminish unemployment bv giving an impetus to the indus- I rip" of the country. Tariff Reform would give them increased revenue without placing tlw burden of taxation on their own people. The expenses of the country were goinn up by leaps and bounds, whilst the revenue was decreasing. Unless they adopted Tariff Reform and made the foreigner pay part of the taxation, thev \\fluld be taxed out nf existence, ft was only right and fair that the foreigner should pay something for the use of their markets which was essential to his prosperity (cheers). Mr. Crem- lyn then dealt with the dear food bogey, and eOIl- clusively proved that in place of food being dearer ¡ under Tariff Reform it would if anything be cheaper. He gave an emphatio denial to the state- ment that the price of food would go up. Several questions were asked and satisfactorily answered, and a splendid meeting terminated with hearty votes of thanks to Mr. Cremlyn and the Chairman. On Tuesday night the Unionist candidate ad- dressed a. crowded meeting at the National School, St. Clears. Mr. R. H. Harries, M.F.H., The Croft, presided, and the proceedings were most orderly and enthusiastic throughout. Mr. Cremlyn dealt mainly with Tariff Reform from an agricultural point of view, and the creation of small ownerships, instead of small tenancies under county councils in Wales. Those two policies combined would restore prosperity to the agricultural industry, and would be the means of bringing the people back to the hind. The Small Holdings Aot had failed because the present Government had refused tho amend- mnt moved by Mr. Bridgman to give the County Council power not only to let land to farmers as tenants, but power to buy the land with public money and sell it out and 91). to the tenant^ making them the owners of their holdings, in the same way aft Mr Wyndhatu's Land Purchase Act had enabled hundreds of small holders in Ireland to pur- chase their own holdings. That fact did away with the cry raised at the last election that the creation of small ownerships was only a Tory trick to catch votes. Mr. Bridgman's amendment was opposed by the Liberal Party for the simple reason that the Socialist and abour Party would not have it at any vrice. They kiMiw perfectly well that if once the farmers of England and Wales became the owners of the land they tilled, that the germs of socialism they desired to foster in their midst would be ex- terminated. Socialism could not possibly exist if a man had something to lose (applause). The meetings were continued at Laugharne, Llan- stephan, Newchurch, and Ferryside.

I A letter was received from Col. Gwynne-IIughes, Glaneothi, regretting inability, through illness, to be present. HOUSE COMMITTEE S REPORT. Tho House Comnutt-e reported as follows:—In submitting their 63rd report, the House Committee is able to assure the governors that the Carmarthen- "shiro Infirmary continues to maintain its reputation for thorough efficiency. Its benefits arc sought for by an increasing- number of those who need them, and as all the patients without exception express their gratitude to the medical and nursing staffs for the care which they experience, the Governors may be assured that the Infirmary is doing an important and necessary work. and is doing it in a manner which has won the confidence of the public. In last year's report the House Committee pointed out that the Infirmary is being worked at an annual loss, and gave reasons why such is the case. The posi- tion is unchanged. There has been a further de- crease of £33 in income from subscriptions, and the amount received from church collections has some- what. delined. The House Committee regrets that the Secretary is compelled to report the deaths of several who were generous supporters of the Infir- mary, and his inability to induce others to take their places. Deoiine. in income, from this source is not. peculiar to the Carmarthenshire Infirmary, but is the experience of all similar institutions: the governors, therefore, in planning for the general welfare of the Infirmary must regard this source of income as somewhat unstable and unreliable. That the annual balance sheet shows a smaller .1. ficit. than that, of last year is due. partly to the generous exertions of tho Mayoress of Carmarthen, whose organisation of a. conversazione resulted ill Ii donation to the Infirmary funds of £90; and partly to the transfer to the general fund of £100 from the Infirmary Nursing Institution. This £100 re- presents part of the fees received for the services of the out-nursing suift, and affords very satisfactory evidence both of the wisdom of the governors in sanctioning the formation of a, nursing institution, and of the efficiency of the. nursing staff so i pro- vided. The needs of the publio seem to call for an increased staff of qualified l1UnieR; the governors might well consider whether such an increased staff can be. created." GOOD BALANCE IN HAND. The Treasurer reported that there was a balance due to them of ±1214 I4s.6d., as against, £287 16s. 4d. last year. There was a. balance in hand of £59 15s. 6d. on the improveinentw aox>uni. The Rev. D. J. Thomas moved the adoption of the report, and this was seconded hy Mr. 11. B. \hit" and carried unanimously. INCREASE OF PATIENTS TREATED. Dr. Gibbon (the house sllrg.x)J1) presented J rejiort, which showed that 85S patients had been treated during the year, an mcrea-se of 32; of these 717 wen* out-patients and 141 in-patieuts. Sir James Hills-Johnes moved that, tlie report be adopted. He was seconded by Mr. James Davies, and the proposition was carried unanimously. The Mayor proposed a vote of thanks to the honorary medical staff, the House Committee, the ministers of the Gospel, the treasurer, the auditor, and various* others, who had assisted the Infirmary during the year.—This was carried. The Mayor referred to the past history of the In- firmary, which was founded in 1847 during the mayoralty of the late Mr. T. Morris, whose family were now warm supporters of it. Previous to its establishment there was an institution near the present police-station. 'Hhe secfnet^iry had the minutes of a meting of the committee of it held in the year 1807. They had during the last few years done well by the Mayoress's ball, but. that could not be expected to continue. Much of its success was due to tt generous subscriptions received from Sir James and the ladies of Dolaucothi, alid from Karl Cawdor (applause). The House Committee W'1 re-elected with the sub- stitution of the name of Captain Jennings for that of Mr. T. Pari cirison. I This was all the business of interest.

NEWCASTLE EMLYN SCANDAL GUARDIANS DECLINE TO TAKE THE BLAMK. 11)(. case of Klizaboth Davies, Market-square, Newoastle-Emly.n who died some ago under pitiable conditions, came before the meeting of the New cast le-Emlyn Boa id of Guardians on Friday. 1 he woman, who was 4,6 years of aire, was disap- pointed in love about twenty years ago. and since then she did nor leave the house. For the last few- years she was bedridden, and was not visited by anyone, the only attendant being her father, w ho is over eighty years of age. Deceased was found to lx- lying in a mass of, filth, and the matter came liefore the, urban district council ar their last meet- ing, when they imputed the blame to the board of guardians. At yesterday's meeting of the guardians. Mr. E. Thomas, Co..dllwvd, asked for an ,xpbl na 1 iOIl 0 the relieving officer (Mr. John Thomas), who replied that the woman was not a pauper. Asked how the urban council blamed the board in the matter, the officer said, in the first place, he had a letter from the clerk to the urban council stating that the girl was a luna-tic. He went down befoi-e rhe Rev. \V. Powell (a justice of the peace), and the latter noti- fied the two medical officers, who visited her. Drs. J. l'owell and D. G. Lloyd, the latter acting as Irl, father's deputy, certified that she was not a lunatic. II., (Mr. Thomas) was unwell at th., time, alld Ills daughter acted on his behalf. visited ihe house about ten o'clock one morning, and found the door locked. She then went to the clerk's office and asked whether she could go in. although the girl's father was absent. The clerk advised he) to wait until his return. The. workhouse maste). a woman, and herself went to the house for the purpose of removing her to the workhouse. As soon as they were in, Thomas (the girl's falher) arrived, and i the passage stamped his foot upon the and ordered them out of the house. The\ could, there- fore, do nothing, as they could not remove her against her will. Mr. T. Thomas (Penweru) — She was not a pauper. We had nothtng to do with her. Mr. J. Tholll;¡s-h,. was certified as nor lieing a lunatic. The Chairman (Mr. J. 1,lj,b the «-xpiami- tion suitable? Mr. T. Howen urban council ought to apologise, and send it to the new spapers t hem- Mr. I). Bcyiion (Bwlchcoed)—This is a serious ease. It is a slur on the board. 1 should like to know i; the report is cortect. How could the officials say that I lie responsibility rested on the board of ■ruardiaus ? Mr. '1', Thomas—AN ho looked after nuisances? Mr. Thomas—We ought to protesi • iiu'aiust the report. I r. I). B"\IIOIl- TIi", medical officer said it was noi a case for linn, as tie could not take. Lei awav ill his arms.. Dr. Powell — Siie was a oauper if her father had relief. Clerk—No: if she bad been in receipt of re- lief she would have been a pauper. Dr. Powell—Yes, she was since her father had re- lief towards her maintenance, and lie objected to her being taken to the workhouse. Mr. K Thomas-—Whose duty was it to clear he) out of the house? The Cjerk (Mr. D. T. George)—If the house was not fit for human habitation it should have been closed. No blame rested on the medicnl officer." Ho had reported the matter to the urban council. The j -TH—SCTETO mm Public Health Act gives power to close "tlell a house. Dr. Powell-The urban council threw the case o;, the board of guardians because it was reootuinended that she should be removed to the workhouse. After further discussion, Mr. T. Thomas re- marked, "Let us go on. It's no good plaving more with, this case." Mr. E. Thomas proposed that they should get r. public apology from the urban council (cries •Yes; it's a shame.') It was decided that the- olerk should write to the urlxui council for a public apology.

CADUM Cures Rmsworm Mrs. Louisa Houghton 12, Vernon m ^11 Road, Luton, says fl "About ten weeks fr ago, my son, Arthur, ty*1 P 14, was sent home f from school on ac- V yiV count of ringworm. I I first applied old- fashioned remedies, the ringworm re- V B J niained virulent, and w |v 3 9 the boy's head became vafy sore. I covered the place with caustic but though this turned it black, it did i not drive the ringworm out of the skin. The sore continued to grow, and I had to consult a doctor. Various remedies were afterwards applied, but nothing seemed abie ttl tem¡;>ye tbe trouble. At last I ap- plied Cadum. The efiect of Cadurjl jyas quick and astonishing. In fotir day Cadum removed the ringworm finally, killed it, and made it rub off. Within a Week the boy was quite clean again, a new skin growing, and he was able to return to school. The quickness and completeness ot the cure by Cadum showed it to be an extraordinary cure for ringworm." Cadum is a new medfcal discovery that quickly cures all skin troubles, including eczema, psoriasis, ringworm, scaly skin rash, pimples, sores, eruptions, chafings acne, etc. It stops the itching at once, and begins healing with the first application.

MYDRIM
MYDRIM ]Ir>»;8E Breedixg.—As most of our readers air iiw;re, Mr. Phil Lewis, Pantglas, has always beeu nov-i as the lucky possessor of some of the best, horses of our time, such as "Mydrim Fireaway." Grey," "Naughty Girl," and the smart little hc-i-se, "TalJv-ho." At present, however, hor^e- breoders are mostly interested in this thorough-bred stallion, "General Kiilian." In this connection the foUowing letter that Mr. Lewis has received from Mr. i'aylor, of Knockdrir, Mulhngar, Ireland, dated April 1st, 1910, will prove most interesting- to all fanners, sportsmen, and those interested in horses:— "Dear Sir,—Your letter to hand. I am always pleased to lieat- from an old friend, especially out- wiio has been so good to me. I lost sight of ral Kiilian," and had made up my mind thai he was either dead or in harness. I bred him. and still own sire and dam, and only a few days ago his mother dropped an own sister to him. Of course, you are aware that "Symorid's Pride" and "General's I are full sister and brother to him (General Kilhan), and 110 disgrace to him. I found 'General Kiilian' before I won the. National Produce- Stakes M. the Curragh with him, the best two-year-old in Ireland, which afterwards he proved to be by winning the Produce Stakes in a canter b\ ten lengths. Two years afterwards his sister, 4Symoml"« IVide,' won it as easily. I then soid '(;.('rl<' 1':& t I,c Li Ia. for E2,500, and hat celebrated -.mhrvr.

I have at present a three-vear-old brother to hwri the Curragh, and he is undoubtedly the h"1 Tiu.* year-otd in Ireland, and that ought to make, yoar norse, 'General Killian' very valuable is a sue. I enclose you a stud card of 'General Symond's,' but they v.ere printed two years ago.
