CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL. THE PLANTATION AT CWMTAWEL. A monthly meeting of the Town Council was held at the Council Chamber of the Guildhall on Tuesday nignt last, under the presidency of the Mayor (Councillor J. B. Arthur). There were also present/: Aldermen Walter Spurrell, W. Vincent Howell Thomas, Walter Lloyd, L. D. Thomas, John Lewis, and H. E. B. Richards; Councillors John Morgan, H. S. Holmes, John Crossrrian, Geo. James, John Lloyd, Charles Sutcliff, D. E. Wil- liams, Oliver Jones, D. Williams, D. Samuel, Wm. Evans, D. King Morgan, and F. James; together witn the Town Clerk (Mr. H. Brunei White), the Medical Officer (Dr. Bowen Jones), the Head Con- stable (Mr. Killick Mayall). the surveyor (Mr. F. J. e Finglah). the Rate Collector (Mr. D. Evans), and the Sanitary Inspector (Mr. J. Ervans). The Local Government Board wrote stating that they could not approve of the proposed site for the steam disinfector, which should be at least forty feet away from the nearest dwelling. The Surveyor said tihere would be no difficulty in getting a site to meet that requirement. NO HOUSES TO LET. Mr. Rees Davies, contractor, wrote stating that he thought the Council ought to defray the cost of laying tne sewer in the Garden City, and not charge him with it. There was more demand for houses in Carmarthen now than had ever been, and he could let his houses almost before the founda- tions were in. He did not know of any house to let, and he thought the Town Council should en- courage enterprise, and especially the building of houses. He hoped the Council would assist him by not asking him to pay for the sewer. The Town Clerk read correspondence, in which Mr. Rees Davies asked the Council to put the sewer in free, but if they could not, then he would have to pay. Ald. Spurrell moved that the Council adhere to their usual terms, and charging the contractors, and this was agreed to. VARIOUS. It was decided not to apply to the County Council for a course of lectures in horticulture on the ground of expense. Mr. Wm. Evans said that people had been com- plaining to him that a lady sanitary inspector had been going round examining houses. Was there any authority given 'ner to do so. Dr. Jones said that he was written to by a Lon- don Coaching Institute asking him whether a pupil of theirs, who had friends at Carmarthen, might come down, and do some examination and practical work in order to obtain her certificate. He ac- quiesced, and asked the Inspector to show 'ner a little work. Mr. W. Evans saidjthat a good many people ob- jected, and thought one was enough in the town. Mr. Geo James said that some people looked upon her with suspicion. The Mayor—Yes, and our Head Constable, with that astuteness usually displayed by him. was soon on her tirack (laughter). Mr. Sutcliff—Can we defy the bye-laws of the town? The Clerk said that if Mr. Sutcliff referred to a house. which had been before the committee, they oould not. unless tne medical officer certified it a nuisance, or two neighbours lodged a complaint, and came before the magistrates to get an order for forcible entry. Mr. Sutcliff—I 11 take you up in a motor-car. Mr. Holmes said that if a man lived in a house like that in Mill-street, there would not be all those proceedings. The Town Clerk said that in that case the house would probably be open, but here the door was shut constantly, and they would have to get an order to force an entrance. Mr. Sutcliff-When was the sanitary inspector there last? The Sanitary Inspector said he could not remem- ber exactly—but in August or September. He had called several times, but failed to get an answer. Ald. R;char-rIs-I have heard lots of complaints, and the thing is a scandal. Aid. Spurrell said that they could get any sr^ount of complaints, but when people were asked t imp forward and substantiate them, thev at shy. It served them right all they got. r. Crossman failed to understand why in this instance the medical officer's opinion was disputed, wnen inere was an absence of cornolamt from any- body. The matter was referred to committee for further investigation. PENSION FOR WORKMEN. Mr. Crossman mentioned the matter of consider- ing the advisab.lity of forming a contributory pen- sion scheme for the Corporation workmen, on somewhat similar lines to poor law superannuition. Mr. Oliver Jones thought the Suggestion an admirable one. and the question was ordered to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting. Mr. H. Graham King, chartered accountant, was unanimously re-appointed to audit the Corporation accounts for- the last year. CWMTAWEL PLANTATION. The Clerk said that ne had received the report of Mr. Fraser Story, head of the Forestery Depart- ment of the U.C.W., Bangor, on the plantation at Lwmtawei. He visited the estate on the 6th March, and said: "A large part of the area be- longing to the Corporation occurs on the south side and eastern end or the reservoir. The slope is at present c.othed with a thin cover of oak coppice. Growth has .been far from satisfactory, and there are too few stools to form a complete crop. 1 should advise that the greater part of tins area should be planted with a mixture of Douglas fir and Common spruce, the object being to obtain a pure plantation of Dougias fir ultimately. This would be much the most profitable use that could be made of the ground, and, if properly gone about, need not be expensive of execution. I estimate the work, including cost ot the plants and the planting, at JB4 5s. per acre. Preparation of the ground chiefly consisting of cutting back the coppice shoots of oak might cost an additional 10s. per acre. Conwi' Station being so near at hand, and the in- creasing demands for coniferous timber in the dis- trict, give every encouragement to afforestation with the trees suggested. The oak coppico on the other side of the valley and particularly the piece abutting on the northern side of the reservoir, stands in need of thinning. It would be well to single out the shoots on each stool, leaving two, or at most three. of the best upon each. The upper portion of the dingle consists of a larch plantation, which is, un- fortunately, suffering severely from canker. Most of the stems have been attacked by the fungus, and the plantation is sure to go from bad to worse. The toil is too damp for the satisfactory growth of larch, and is obviously much better adapted for one d spruces, pirticularly Sitka spruce (Fleea sitkaensisj. I should recommend the cutting out of all the worst affected larches, reducing them to at least one-third of their present number, and of course a larger proportion where the larches have already failed, and at once inter-planting with Sitka spruce. This would have a beneficial effect upon the remaining trees, and the spruces would ultimately form a complete crop by themselves. It may be added that the Sitka spruce is a distinctly rapid-growing conifer and soon attains large dimensions. It addition, it has the advantage of being seldom attacked by rabbits. For the good of at the plantations, how- ever, it is hoped that the rabbits will be rigorously excluded from the catchment area." Mr. Sutcliff-You can't sell spruce after it has grown. You can sell larch. Mr. John Lloyd-Well tfhey charge quite enough for spruce at the sawmills. On the motion of Mr. Oliver Jones, the report was referred to a small committee, consisting of the following:—The Mayor, Aid. Vincent Thomas. Councillors D. E. Williams, and C. Sutcliff; the Town Clerk, and Surveyor. and soon attains large dimensions. In addition, it Mr. Crossman said it would be useless doing any- thing unless they appointed a man to look after it. The present failure was due to the absence of a man, and to go to further expense under the present state of things would be throwing good money after bad. MARKET KEEPER. A long discussion took place on the appointment by the Surveyor of a Corporation workman as market keeper, on a motion to be moved by Mr. 1 D. Samuel, who objected to the present man be- < cause he was also caretaker of the Assembly Rooms. To give him this appointment was ridiculous. It was not right to keep a man to work for two masters. He received all told about £ 1 a week, and as there were 80 many men out of work, it was not right to I keep a man in that way. I Ald. Richards pointed out that his wife was care- taker of the Assembly Rooms, and the husband had nothing to do with it at all. He received nothing from the directors, who had no claim on his time. Jones was a corporation workman before, and the Surveyor had simply taken him off one job and placed him on another, which he thought he was suited for. Nothing like the sum mentioned by Mr. Samuel was paid the caretaker. Mr. John Lloyd asked why Mr. Samuel did not object to the Corporation masons and others work- ing overtime, as they were doing somebody out of a. job (laughter). Mr. Samuel said that they appointed the police- men, quay warden, and why not this official. The Town Clerk objected. Jones was not an offi- oial of the Corporation. If every labohrer in the Council's employ was to be an official-wel, the dignity of the Council and its officials would be gone. Mr. Samuel said he objected to the precedent. Mr. D. Williams seconded. Only two voting for the motion, the Surveyor's action was endorsed by a large majority. The meeting then ended.

DISTRICT COUNCIL ELECTIONS Polling for representative on the Boards of Guardians and Rural District Councils took place in Cardiganshire and Carmarthenshire on Saturday and Monday last. In many instances the contests were very keen, and evoked much local interest. At Conwil there were five candidates for two vacan- cies, and a retiring member, Mr. B. Phillips-, Capa- docia, was knocked out. There was a hard fight at Llanfihangel-ar-arrh, where there were ten candi- dates for four vacancies, and Mr. Evan Evans, Llandyssul, a new candidate, headed the poll with a majority of two. In East Cilrhedyn there were five candidates for two seats, and one old member was not returned. At Talley the fight waxed fast and furious, and a determined attempt on the part of a few political Nonconformists was made to re- turn Mr. D. Thomas, Cwmcerrig, and if possible to oust the Vicar. But the best laid schemes of mice and men, etc., and the result saw the Rev. Alban Davies at the head of the poll, and Mr. D. Thomas at the other end, a majority of 27 dividing them The Vicar had 50 plumpers, Mr. Harries Brondifo, 17. and Mr. Thomas 2. Results:- CARMARTHEN UNION. „ Abergwrti-Elected: 'Wm.

PUBLIC HEALTH AND GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE The quarterly meeting of the above Committee of the Carmarthenshire County Council was held at the County Offices on Tuesday last. Mr. Mervyn Peel, Danyrallt, proposed that Mr. W. J. Thomas, GlaniJowv, be elected chairman for the ensuing year. This was seconded and carried unanimously. The Clerk read a circular from the Local Gov- ernment Board of the new Order for t'ne slaughter of tuberculosis cattle. Mr. Mervyn Peel said that would have to be an immense sum if they had to give compensation in respect of a quarter of the cows in the county that being the proportion which are supposed to be tuberculous. Mr. J. F. Rees, veterinary inspector, said that the committee could not expect the veterinary in- spector to undertake these additional duties at the same salary. The Chairman said that they should act when cases were reported to them by the police. Mr. D. Evans suggested that until July they should only regard the cases reported to them. This was unanimously agreed to.

Emrys Jones kicked off for Gowerton, and play settled down at halfway. 6hortly after Hill and an- other home player collided, with the result that the game was decayed to allow the burly policeman a breather. Ammanford were now pressing hard, and tht,ir forwards, not to bo denied, went away with a (..rl^ble ledfky the veteran, D. Lewis, and Trevor Williams. The homesters were awarded a free kick and Ernie Thomas found touch on his own 26. From a scrum A. Griffiths received from his forwards, and sent out to D. Llall Evans, who beat the home centres, and passed to B. Jones, and he was pushed mto touch on the corner flag. The home crowd were treated to seeing the reverse passing amongst the visiting forwards, .Stanley Davies, Bowen, D. M. Rees and aughan Alorris being prominent, but a forward pass on the line spoiled the movement JL he homesters were awarded several free kicks. Davies, the home custodian, was next conspicuous in making a fine save. The visiting threes handled once more, Basil Jones being thrown into touch on the corner flag. Ammanford were again penalised, but U. M. Rees, fielding the ball, had hard lines in not dropping a goal, and Gowerton conceded a minor. The visitors continued to press, and Basil Jones was pushed into touch. A minute later the same player was held up after crossing the line. Gowerton had now to defend for all they were worth, and conceded a number of minors in quick succession' Shortly afterwards Ike Jones (who captained the visitors in the absence of Ivor Jones) was badly fouled by B. Thomas, and had to be carried to the pavilion, taking no further part in the game. Trevor Williams was brought out to the centre. The visitors were now awarded their first free kick, and Leyshon had hard lines in not scoring. Trevor Williams made a mark, but Stanley Davies failed at goal. Handel Richards nearly burt through, and Leyshon I dl.°PPedI for goal, but was defeated by the stron- », wind. Ilali-time was called with no score jj Stanley Davies restarted, Ernie Hill replying with a long kIck, but Leyshon relieved with a lovely touch-finder. Handel Richards made a mark and Leyshon gamed more ground by finding touch. D. 7ns rraway wuii'but s«°n pulled down. Free kicks were granted to both sides, and in some loose play J. Hill dr°PP°d goal for Gowec- tnlh £ °w M1Cketl °Ut' K Davles ^turning to H U > T-vor Wdhams made a mark, and Leyshon A.icked to touch in the home territory. The home spectators showed their disapproval when Emrys Jones openly hit D. M. Rees and although there were protests to send Jones off the field, the referee took no notice of them. Scrums were fought out, and Gowerton were again awarded a free kick, but D. Price saved well, and had hard lines in not going- through. A long kick by D. O. Harry saw the Gowerton forwards following up well, Hollhmhle being very prominent, but Leyshon saved well bv picking up at the feet of his opposing eight, and kicking the ball safely into touch. From the next scrum Griffiths beat the Gowerton pair, and gave to D. Kan Evans, who cut out a fine opening, but Trevor Williams spoiled the movement by holdiir- oil too long. In a. Gamble on the halfway line. Vaughan Morns picked up smart'y, and threw to I revor W.lhams, who sent out a long pass and tfrs comm?up at t,,p spe°d'went <-iea» tl IOUJI the defence, and scored a beautiful try. D. Lian Evans oonverted with a fine kick. From the kick out, Gowerton went away with a bang, D. Harry finding touch on the 25 line. Shortly after- wards D. Llan Evans was badly knocked out but pluckily resumed. The visiting forwards went awav with a rush right up to the line, Wilfred Lewis Bowen and D. M. Rees being very prominent m l iok Th ?•'+, Gowcrton wcre awarded a free v k. The whistle went, leaving the score:—iFinai ore: Ammanford, i converted goal (5 points): Gowerton, 1 dropped goal (4 points). NOTES. The vlsl toi-, treated the spectators to very pn ttv football, the threes handling the ball in splendid style, and the forwards also went off with passing- bouts. The game, on the whole, was too vigorous, and the injury to Ike Jones in the first half greatly handi- capped the visitors, who had to play 14 men for the remainder of the game. The referee ought to have ordered off the field two of the Gowerton forwards, whose plav was more in keeping with the ring than the football field. Gowerton have to thank E. Davies, their full- back, in not having a bigger score registered against them, his tackling and kicking being a treat to wit- ness. The home halves were outplayed, but when visitin. couple, and D. O. Harry was prominent only in kick. Ing. For the visitors the best forwards were D. Lewis, Bowen, S. Davies, D. M. Rees, W. i.,ewis, ana Morris; m fact, the seven Ammanford men were tor &ood for the home eight. A. Griffiths and D. Llan Evans simply made round the Gowerton pair. Evans, although a marked man played a very sound game, that kick of his which converted- the try, being a. fine one. > was the idol of the crowd, and the "little un (as he was called) got through heaps of work with credit. The visiting threes played well together, and I was sorry for Ike Jones (as he seemed to be playing in tip-top form) when he was knocked out. B. Jones and Handel Richards, pityed quite up to their reputations, the latter showing "speed and dash when he scored the try. D. Price made a good impression as reserve man. being very nippy and having a useful burst, which he used to advantage. Trevor Wil!iams, who was brought out of the pack to fill Ike Jones's place, made a highly creditable show, his defence being tip-top. Leyshon, at full-back, played a wonderful game, and he never failed once during the game to find touch, while he showed great judgment in kicking. He also <=aved his forwards by his long touch-finders, while he also defended well on several occasions.

-0 CARMARTHENSHIRE BANKRUPTCY COURT The Carmarthenshire Bankruptcy Court was held at the Guildhall on Tuesday last, before h. Regis- trar D. E. Stephens. BUILDER' S FAILURE. John Thomas, builder aud contractor, Arwell Villa, Cwmyglo, Cross Hands, attributed his failure to losses on contracts, want of capital, and law costs. His gross liabilities were JB488 6s. 6d., and his de ficiency J6459 10s. Before he started on his own account he was a journeyman carpenter at Pencader Llanelly, and eisewhere, and since laet December lie had been a pit carpenter at Cross Air. Dahne Williams, solicitor, Swansea, appeared for the debtor, whose examination was adjourned :n order that further particulars respecting contracts might be furnished. A LEGACY OF DEBT. Mrs. Rachel King, formerly licensee of tne Tivy- side Inn, Llechryd, Cardiganshire, said her diffi- I culties were due to the taking over of her first hus- band's liabilities, her gross liabilities being £333, the deficiency of 9330. When her former husband, Benjamin Evans, died in September, 1908, and she succeeded him in the inn, she discovered that he was heavily in debt. She liquidated £ 800, and she had been insolvent practically since ho died. She recently had a long illess. The unsecured liabili- ties were in respect of beer and spirits. The examination was closed. HELD SEVERAL LICENSES. Wm. Davies (38), keeper of the Falcon Inn, Lam- mas-street, Carmarthen, said his deficiency of JE150 was due to a libel action against him, to insufficient trade, and to an excessive amount paid for ingoing. Since he took over the Drovers' Arms, Carmarthen, in 1901, he had held the licenses of the Cwmgwili Arms, Newchurch; the Eagle Inn, Priorv-street, Carmarthen, and the Angel Vaults, Nott s-square, Carmarthen. He formerly worked on a Llanpump- saint farm for his parents. He knew he was insol- vent 12 montns ago. The libel action, commenced in April last year, was not proceeded with. The Official Receiver intimated that he would have to examine debtor's wife, and the examination < was adjourned. i

I IIDWELLY NOTES. 1" A sad accident, resulting in the death of a man, occurred on the outskirts of the town on Friday, the 4th inst. About 1.30 p.m. on that date it appears that a steam lorry belonging to Mr. Arthur Davies, merchant, Llanelly, and driven by Mr. W. Piper, was coming towards Kidwelly, and when within about lj miles of the town, it was met by a spring-cart belonging to the Burry Port Co-opera- tive Society, driven by one Thomas Hi'l, who was standing up in the cart holding the reins in his hand. On approaching the lorry the horse got frightened and swerved towards the hedge, the driver being thrown on to the road, and rolled under the hind wheel of the vehicle. The latter was immediately brought to a standstill, and the unfortunate fellow was extricated from under the lorry by the driver and a companion. He was then apparently beyond human aid, the wheel having pressed heavily against his side. P.C. D. J. Davies was summoned and was promptly on the spot, being accompanied by Dr. Dulton. who was only able to pronounce life extinct. The body of the poor man, who was 52 years of age. was conveyed to his home, Field Cottage, Burry Port, to await the coroner's inquest, which was held on Tuesday in this week. The Committee responsible for the concert held tn the Town Hall in aid of the Llanelly Hospital on Wednesday evening, the 2nd inst., deserve the heart- iest congratulations, so successful did the event prove from a musical as well a:5- a financial stand point. The hall was comfortably filled, and the audience showed its appreciation of the splendid programme provided by the unusually large number of encores demanded. The chair was taken by the Mayor (Mr. Geo. E. Bowen, J.P.), who at the close expressed1 his pleasure in being present at such a delightful entertainment.

Ferry-road, died. The funeral took place on Tuesday last at Capel Sul, the Rev. W. C. Jenkins (pastor) officiataing. We sympathise deeply with the bereaved parents. We regret to record the death, which occurred at his home, Colwvn House, Water-street, oil Mon- day, in this week, of Mr. Albert Williams, aged 48 years. The deceased, who had been ill for some weeks, was a son of the late Mr. Evan Williams, for many years coachman to the late Mr. Jacob Timers, proprietor of the local Tmplat-e Works. He was very well known over a wide area, especially amongst the farmers, with whom lie frequentlv in- dulged in his favourite pastime of coursing. He was employed as a doubter in the Kidwelly Tinplate Works, and was popular with his fellow-workmen. He is survived by a widow and three children—two daughters and a son. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Saturday) afternoon. I A "ilJy outrage was perpetrated in Bridge-street sometime between midnight on Saturday last and seven o'clock on Sunday morning, when it was dis- cov erod that the valuable plate glass windows of Mr. J. G. Anthony, grocer and draper, and &Ir Lewis Jones, chemist, had been smashed. A shutter had been taken down in each case, and it is Biir mised was'the instrument which was used to smash the glt. :t)zi close examination it was seen that the contents of the chemist's shop had been left in- tact. Not so fortunate was Mr. Anthony, for on an inspection of the premises, evidence was forthcoming that the shop had been entered. On the counter in the grocery department, two empty tins of roast beef were found, with a third, which bore signs of having been tampered with. The key or opener of the latter had broken, and the thieves had to desist. Tins of salmon and lobsters had been taken down from the sheves, but as these were not provided with keys no attempt had been made to open them. The miscreants-it is generally believed there were more than one—had evidently dined off the roast beef, and had flavoured it with all application of H.P. sauce, a bottle of which, partly emptied of its contents, being found alongside the empty tins The money, of which there was a considerable sum in the desk, had been left untouched. The police are making active enquiries with a view to the detection oi the culprits, and photographs of the finger-prints on the glass were taken oil Monday by Mr. Jas. H. Davies, photographer. Various theories arc advanced as to the perpetrators. The first and for a time the most popular, was that it was the act of the militant suffragettes, and colour was lent to this theory by the rumour that a motor-car had been heard passing through the town in the early hours I of Sunday morning. When, however, it was found that a burglary had been committed, and that pro- visions had been constinied-.iltiite :it variance with the practice of the w.ild women "—people inclined to the belief that the outrage was the act of one or more clumsy housebreakers. A suspicious looking character had been prowling about Bridge-street oil Saturday night, and the crime was put down to him. Hopes are strongly entertained that the police will succeed ,in solving the mystery and -bi-iiigilig the authors to justice. ].CO We are very glad to learn of t!J( "UC(;e,,6 of Mr. WIll. H. Davies, eldest son of lr. \V. Davies, post- man, West End, .in the recent examination conducted by the Civil Service Commissioners for sorters and telegraphists in the Poet Office.
