CWMAMMAN COUNCIL MEETING.
CWMAMMAN COUNCIL MEETING. Mr. Hy. FoUand presided over tiie mont'nJy meet- ing of the above Council held at New Bethel vestry, Garnant, on Wednesday night of last week. Those present were: Rev. Wm. Williams, Rev. J. Edryl Jones, Messrs. Thos. Thomas (vice-chairman), Jno. Rees, Evan Griffiths, Robt. Edwards, T. Jones-Hay, Dd. Jenkins, and J. R. Thomas; also the clerk (Mr. W.. Martin Knoylel,, surveyor (Mr. G. H. Davies) and the medical officer (Dr. E. C. ByrneU AMMAN VALLEY SEWERAGE. The Chairman, in reference to the purview of the report of the expert engaged in conjunction with the Ammanford and Pontardawe (district) Councils stated the Clerk had written to Mr. Wyndham Lewis, secretary of the executive committee, conveying the resolution of tne Council at a special meeting when objection was taken to the inclusion of Brynamman in the report, as the latter had engaged an expert to report on a scheme of their owp. It was felt that heading No. 6 as worded did not correctly express the intention of the committee. A letter in reply from Mr. Lewis was read, point- ing out that it may be a distinct advantage to have the neading inserted if that information was avail- able without an extra fee. Mr. Wood. accompanied by the chairman and surveyor of each Council, woujd inspect the district on Thursday, February 27th, and he woulu suggest that it be decided then whether item No. 6 would be included in the report. The Chairman—We have lodged our complaint. I think that is quite sufficient so far. Mr. Robt. Edwards proposed, and Mr. Jno. Rees seconded, that the Surveyor be instructed to object to the inclusion of Brynamman. The Clerk-Do I understand, if the expert can be got to report on the Brynamman portion as well for the fee he has fixed, namely JB75. t'nat this Council has no objection? The Chairman said it was absurd to think that he would do it. He had already got the heads to re- port on, and the president of the institute had fi the fee, so that it was not for the engineer to say now he would do more for the same figure. Mr. Robt. Edwards—But if our Surveyor could induce him to do so we have no objection. The Chairman—No! But he would be tilly to do it for the same fee (laughter). THE INTERPRETATION OF AN AGREEMENT. In reference to the dispute between Mr. Wm. Bevan, Twynboli, and the Council, the former under an agreement made between him and the Llandilo District Council, which was then the local authority for the Cwmamman urban area, claiming exemption from the payment of lid. in tne £ general district rate in addition to ld. in tne £ water rate as at the time the agreement was entered into tne latter rate was Is. in the L, the Clerk stated he had made inquiries from Mr. Shipley Lewis as to the original intention of the agreement. Mr. Lewis informed him that he had no minutes of the cir- cumstances under which the agreement was entered into, so he could not say what the feeling of the Council was. The Clerk explained to Mr. Lewis that the Council had resolved to adhere to the terms of the agreement-that Mr. Bevan was only entitled to the abatement of the water rate, which was a penny in the j6. M. Lewis added tnat Mr. Bevan had been to him, and he had advised him to write to the Council in the matter. No communication 'nad yet been received. It was pointed out that whereas the agreement allowed Mr. Bevan only one tapping he had three taps at present, and, on the motion of Mr it. Edwards, it was resolved* that the terms of agree- ment be adhered to. MEDICAL OFFICER'S ACTION UPHELD. During a discussion over a claim for articles de- stroyed during the process of the disinfection o" a house after an infectious disease, an amazing disre- gard for the medical officer's serious warning was brought to light. The Clerk said he had written to the Local Gov- ernment Board detailing the circumstances of the case and asking their opinion as to the extent of tkp Council's liaBlity for the articles destroyed on the instruction of the medical officer. The Boarci replied that they had no jurisdiction in the matter at the present time, and they could not undertakes to advise the Council as to their liability to pay the particular claim enclosed. There was no statu- tory ground on which the last item for labour could be olaimed. The Finance Committee recommended that the bill be paid so far as the articles destroyed were charged for. Mr. Robt. Edwards said he would like to be en lightened on one point: Was it absolutely necessary to destroy all articles used in cases of infectious or contagious diseases? The Medical Officer (Dr. Byrne)—It depends on what the disease is. Mr. Edwards said tne point was a very serious one. and formed a precedent. Assuming they had an epidemic, which was not impossible in Cwmamman something similar to what they had in Swansea in 1902. Swansea, then would have been involved in thousands of pounds of liability but for the fact that they had a disinfecting chamber,, and would the medical officer consider something of the Bort for Cwmamman in the future. The Medical Officer said it would be very useful, and he would be very glad to have it. but it would oost something. It would not be necessary to de- stroy all the articles when a disinfecting chamber was available, but without that it was absolutely necessary. The Cnairman observed that the most important thing after all was to prevent the spreading of the disease, and they could only do teat by backing up the Medical Officer in the precautions he had Mr. Thos. Thomas questioned whether it would be advisable to agitate for an isolation hospital, but tneMedical Officer said those cases fortunately were few and far between in the area, and ho did not think it would be worth it. 4- + The Chairman said it \va« important in the llltere £ of health in the place that tne hand,* of the Medical Officer should be strengthened to that people wou.d oarry out his instructions. The Medical Officer stated that in the case under oons.iderationhe gave definite instructions that the patient be isolated, but on his return to the hOLle he found all the family congregated in the kitchen where the sick child lay eating chops and mashed ^A^lution, moved by Mr. Thos. Thomas, that the action of the Medical Officer aud the bamtary Inspector in the matter be upheld was carried. THE COUNCIL AND LEGAL PROC EEDINGS.

THE COUNTY ROAD. The Clerk stated that in regard to their query w J CoSy Council as to the^ quanUty deposited on the, wuntyroa^ statmg that it last year, he ha re Council to supply -he wai> not usual for the Uounty detailed information required, and i- ™ l0 what difficult to obtain it. he one of the Council's officers to inspect Mr Robt.

The matter of appointing dekgates to conference of urban district councils at Llandrmdod Wells next July was deferred pending the election, w'nion takes place on the 7th of April. Mr J W. Nicholas wrote, relative to the dan- gerous corner near Ty'nywern Farm, that the County Council had under consideration a ^gested scheme of an improvement at Glynmoch, which, h understood, was the same place. The County Coun- cil were not liable for any fencing wnicn was not their property.
AMMAN VALLEY SCHOOLS.c:.
AMMAN VALLEY SCHOOLS. c:. The monthly meeting of the managers of the Amman Valley group of schools was held at-the Ammanford School on Thursday afte™°°n £ R. Evans priding. There were D. Thomas, J- Kdryd Jones — • Davies Wm. Bo\ven? Messrs. uavics, f p^Mijpg J# Harries, and T, V. Jones; also the Clerk (Mr. D. Jones-Morris). MORE MANAGERS. Mr J. W, Nicholas wrote that the Education Committee approved of the appointment of a repre- sentative manager being made to represent the Ystradowen part of Cwmllynfell when the revision of managers takes place in March. THE COMMITTEE AND SCHOOLS. In the monthly letter of the Education Committee it was stated that the temporary engagement of Mrs. Parry as certificated assistant at the Tycroes School, pending the appointment of a permanent teacher now being re-adverted for had been ap- proved of. The Committee adhered to their former resolution that with a view to relieving the over- crowding at the Penygroes School, children under five years of age be excluded, but they were of opinion that such action would not in any way inter- fere with candidates for Free Places in the county schools. It had been resolved by the Committee to increase the staffs of Bettws and Brynamman infants schools by the appointment of an uncertificated and certificated assistant respectively. Also it was stated that tho observations of the managers respecting the provision of a new school at Brynaamman had been considered, and the engagement of temporary premises was receiving the committee s attention. PARCYRHUN SCHOOL. The Clerk to the Education Committee wrote that Mr Robert J. Tanner had been appointed uncertifi- cated assistant on the staff of the Parcyrhun School subject to his accepting the appointment at the ad- vertisod salary of J645 per annum. With regard to the large consumption of fuel at the school the Clerk was directed to state that it was quite possible to consume several times the required amount by injudicious stoking .laughter). The architect would however look into the matter and report thereon. The Headmaster, in his monthly report, stated that the local managers had decided to recommend again the appointment of Mr. Robert Tanner at his present rate of salary. He pointed out that thafe was the eighth week for e school to be with an uncomplete staff, and he was beginning to feel the strain of the extra work which devolved upon him as a consequence. The managers had no observa- tions to make in regard to tne heating apparatus but that the strictest economy was exercised by the cleaner who was an experienced stoker. The Chairman observed that if the whole county was searched a more careful and economical care- taker could be found. There had been a sub- stantial reduction in the bill for the heating of the school since coke was being used. The quantity consumed seemed large perhaps, but the cost was not proportionately great. Referring to the ap- pointment of Mr. Robert Tanner, the Chairman said he was at present engaged at the Tycroes Non-provided School. Some four years ago he had applied to be transferred from Carmarthen to Llandebie in order to be nearer home, and he was obliged then to accept the minimum salary of £45 simply on the strength of the fact that he had made the application. Now he lived in Llandebie, a dis- anc of four miles from Tycroes. and wanted to be transferred to Parcyrhun so as to have two miles less to walk, and again the Education Committee de- manded that he should accept £45. Was that the way to treat men who had obtained experience? He (the Chairman) considered iti would not be tolerated in any place of business. The teacher had served the Committee well, and it was their plain duty if they had an advantage to give at all to offer it to those who had faithfully served them. It was only right that he should receive his present salary at least, and he proposed that they recommend the Committee to pay him JB52 10s. annually. Mr. J. Phillips, seconding, commented that ôf the teacher was worth £ 52 10s. at Tyeroes, surely he would be of the same value at Parcyrhun.—Carried. THE STATE OF AMMANFOD INFANTS' SCHOOL. H.M. Inspector's report on the Infants' depart- ment of the Ammanford School was read, stating that the school had been well conducted in the past though under considerable difficulty, there being overcrowding. The building and premises needed milch attention. The roof was leaking badly In some parts, and the fire was too small to heat the room properly. The Board of Education requested that immediate measures be taken to deal with the defects men- tioned. Mr. Evan Evans said he quite agreed with the inspector as to the improvements necessary. With regard to the heating apparatus, which was right under the school, he had seen the caretaker niving to wade through a foot of water to get to the fire. The wet season experienced might have had home- thing to do with it, but under the circumstances it was almoat a matter of impossibility to heat the room properly. The attention of the Education Committee to the matter had been called it any times. The Chairman added that water percolated down to the fire chamber. He believed if the surface water was drained away properly an improvement would be effected. Mr. J. Phillips proposed that title Clerk forward the report to the Education Committee, pointing cut that the defects mentioned herein was due to their reluctance in carrying out the recommendations of the managers. This was seconded by Mr. J.Harries and carried. The Clerk said a communication had been re- ceived that the county architect would visit the school shortly. The local managers suggested that they -hould consider the taking of The house attached to the school as offices, there being a serious lack of cloak accommodation in the infants', room. It was also recommended that blinds for the windows be pro- vided immediately. The Chairman commented that the blinds ques. tion seemed to be a hardy annual. It was with them every year at the approach of fine weather. Last year the Education Committee sent to the head- masters in the different schools asking to get pat- terns of blinds. Those were submitted, but he did not know what the Committee had done. How- ever he learnt that a pattern had been decided "pon, but when were they going to send the blinds he did not know. Mr. Evan Evans expressed the wish that when the architect visited the school the managers be notified so that they could point! out the defeots to him. Rev. W. D. Thomas thought they ought to pass a strong resolution to the effect that the architect be requested to notify he managers of a school he intended visiting. It would be an advantage of all concerned. He proposed that the attention of the Education Committee be called to the matter. This was carried, as also were the recommenda- tions of the local managers. CARETAKERS AND INSURANCE. It was reported that several school cleaners in the district were protesting against the deduction from their salaries of insurance money, and were claim- ing exemption. Rev D. S. Davies said the Tyeroes caretaker was only receiving 7s. 6d. a week in wages, yet insurance money was deducted from that meagre wage. She asked to be exempted. Mr. J. Harries felt it was not fair on the part of the Education Committee to ask persons in receipt of low salaries to contribute. The Clerk said the County Council maintained that though the salary may be small in some cases, still it was not so small when it was considered thaS the cleaners were not full time officers. It was on those grounds the County Council had de- cided to deduct the insurance money. He might point out that there was na deduction made in respect of the first two quarters. Mr. J. Phillips did not see what they as managers had to do with it. He proposed that all the care- takers who were protesting be asked to forward their claims for exemption to the proper quarters. Rev. W. D. Tnomas seconded, as he believed the Education Committee as such had no voice in the matter.. Rev. D. S. Dalvies asked how it was thatl the care- takers were dealt with differently. He knew of a cleaner, who was the wife of a man earning good money, having been exempted. The Clerk-They do not deal with them different- ly at all. If the circumstances are the same this caretaker will be exempted. Mr. T. V. Jones said a woman dependent upon her own resources could not be exempted at all. Mr J. Harries considerd it was a hardship to many caretakers that insurance money should be de- ducted from their already low salaries. He knew of a case where a cleaner was remunerated at the rate of 13d. per hour, and yet insurance money was deducted. It was a fact that school caretakers were underpaid. The managers had brought the question to notice before, and they should do so again as Christians and members of trades unions. He could not but protest against it. It was nothing but sweated labour. They ought to raise a protest against the action of the Committee in using sweated labour in connection with education in Carmarthenshire. It was ridiculous. Rev, W. D. Thomas said he was in sympathy with the remarks of Mr. Harries, but after all as long as the education authority could get: people to do the work at those low salaries there would be no improvement, and their protest would be unavailing. He knew of an instance where a caretaker of a "certain school gave notice to terminate her engage- ment, with a view of getting a higher salary, and that was well known. But as soon as the notice expired another party wrote directly to the educa- tion authority and got the job. If it would have been impossible for the. committee to get people to do the work with sweated labour, cleaners in general could look ;forward for better treatment.- Mr. T. V. Jones suggested that they recommend an organiser of school cleaners—he had his eye on Mr. Harries—(laughter)—to get them into line and not to undercut each other. As an amendment, the Rev. J. Edryd Jones pro- posed that in view of the salaries of cleaners in the district being far from satisfactory they ask the Education Committee not to deduct their insurance money in future. Mr. J. Harries seconded. The amendment' was carried. ABSENT MANAGERS. The Clerk said the Education Committee had for- warded to him a list of the managers for the group of schools, numbering 26, and had requested him to mark on the list those who had been absent for the past six months, or who had removed from the district or died. He found that only three managers had been absent for more than six months. He had given their names to the committee (laughter). Mr. J. Phillips-Are they present to-day? (laugh- ter). OTHER MATTERS. The managers recommended that Miss Myfanwy Harries, a teacher at the Brynamman School, be appointed as uncertificated assistant at the Bettws School. Also that Miss Price be appointed to the vacancy at Glanamman Infants' School. It was recommended that an additional exit be provided at the Glanamman Infants' School, and that attention be drawn to the serious condition of Nebo School in regard to bad ventilation, etc.

ST. DAVID'S DAY. ..---
ST. DAVID'S DAY. CELEBRATIONS IN WEST WALES. St. David's Day this year fell on Saturday,, and in many places the. celebration of the national day took place either on Friday or Monday last. On Saturday the daffodil was very much in evidence, but the leek was only occasionally seen. LLANNON. On Friday afternoon, St. David's Day was cele- brated at Llechyfedach School by an eisteddfod, and the rendering of Welsh airs by the scholars. Tne following programme was gone through:- Address by the headmaster (Mr. D. M. Jenkins); opening song, Gallant little Wales," John Richard James; song, Bachgen bach o Gymru/ Standards 1. and II.

Very few people wearing either the leek or the daffodil were seen at Llandovery on Saturday, de- spite the fact that it was the 1st of March. On Friday the vicar (the Rev. D. Edmondes-Owen), the curate (the Rev. J. Titusi and the headmaster (Mr. M. H. Nichols) delivered some interesting ad- dresses to the children attending the National School on the life of St. David, the patron saint of Wales; whilst the children of this and the Council School were given a holiday on Monday. At the Council School on Friday afternoon the oocasion was com- memorated by file scholars singing e'sh aire. Amongst the number were several pupils attired in old-time costumes. An inspiring address was de- livered by Professor Oliver Stephens, M.A., B.D., Carmarthen, on "Our language, our country, and our nation." Several of the leading inhabitants were present at both eohools. In connection with the Salem Congregational Church a social and tea were held at the vestry, and at a meeting wnich followed the Rev. D. J. Henry. B.A., pastor of the Williams Pantycelyn Memorial ChapeL the guest of the even- ng, delivered an address on Patriotism and Re- lio-ion." The occasion was further celebrated by the opening of a lending library by the pas-tor, the Rev. D. Rhydderch, B.A. LAMPETER, n St. David's Day was duly observed at the local elementary schools on Friday. Our correspondent who attended the Bryn-road Boys' School was much impressed by all he saw and heard. He writes: I was escorted into the large schoolroom, the walls of which, with their Welsh mottoes and Cymric sur- roundings, spoke eloquently of the regard with which the vounger generation of Lampeter are provided for bv the educational authorities. At each end. from the opened windows, there came a current o^ pure air, which was as invigorating to tne jaded outsider as was to those who, amid such airy, healthy surroundings, continually worked. Pre- sently, the boys marched into the room in Ring file, and took their places, all eager and delighted to do their share in the day's festivities. Each bov wore a leek, the ancient emblem of Wales. The mayor and mayoress (Councillor and Mrs. Jenkins) entered, and were loudly cheered. As 6oon as other local citizens had taken their seats the proceedings commenced. The Mayor, after expressing his plea- eure at being present, addressed the boys and after contrasting the conditions whicn prevailed in his school days with the advantages of the pres-ent, he exhorted them to make the most of their opportuni- ties. The boys had it in their power to elevate taeir country, themselves, and their fellow-country men and women. They had in Mr. W. Lewis, their head- master, a gentleman who was without an equal among schoolmasters. With such a trustworthy leader and his able staff they could realise hign ideals and do great things. His worship briefly catechised the scholars on the life and work of St. David which elicited prompt and correct answers. Councillor Walter Davies, London House,, remarked that from his previous visits to the school, he was sorry the present celebration was confined to the school with such an excellent programme, the ce e- bration should have been held at the Memorial Hall for the benefit of the general public -Tne Rev. Evan Evans. chairman of the Local Education Authority, said he was delighted to 'be present. He had been connected with the school for 23 year, and had watohecJ its progress with interest." They were there that day to pay reverence to St. David. Their patron saint was a studious man, a man who studied not only to enlarge his know- ledge, but to raise his fellow-men to heights which they had never before known. St. David sat at the feet of Paulinus, a teacher whom he loved and honoured. Let them also love their teacners.
