James) acknowledging receipt of the Board's letter enclosing a copy of the medical officer's report with reference to the state of the water supply in the various districts. Mr James pointed out that the Ystrad Gas and Water Com- pany and the Pontypridd Water Company had been confused in the Board's, letter and intim- ated tliat if the Ystrad Board asked their medi- "calofficer to report separately upon his company "he complaints would be duly considered. The Chairman said that he understood the ^eiical offioer's report specifically referred to ..eaoh company. The clerk said that was so. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Jones it was agreed that the clerk should write to Mr A. P. J ames and explain matters tnore fully. HAWKING PETROLEUM IN THE STREET. 2^;S. Hoyle reported a hawker named Frederick White for an infringement of the Explosives' Act y carrying a larger quantity of petroleum about J~e Greets than was alio «?ed by the Act of Parlia- 5?ent. The Sergeant stated that he mentioned av kecause White was applying to"*che Board for hcense. The Clerk stated that White had been fined lor hawking a larger quantity of petroleum than he was entitled to carry without having it in pro- per tanks. The practice was a very dangerous one. THE TBAMWAT. The Messrs Thomas, solicitors, of Swansea, ^rote enclosing a notice of the intention of the Swansea company to apply to the Board of Trade for their sanction to the transfer of the tramways *0 them. The transfer was to be made for a sum £ 3,000, and if it was intended to lay any objec- tions against the transfer such objections would be made before the 28th October. The Clerk We have already written to the ■Board of Trade. Now we have by go their formal tltice- should refer the Board of Trade to we have previously stated. The Chairman Something definite ought to toe done. Mr Evan Evans WLS of a similar opinion. The deputy clerk The matter has been before the Pontypridd Board and Mr GroveF told me that he was going to write strongly to the Board of Trade about the matter. They were of the sanae opinion as us that the line should be paved Wlth sets. The Chairman We feel very strongly that up to the present the tramway has been a great Usance. 1(r Mathias said they could go further still an that and say it had caused many sad accid- -ents. The Chairman That ought to be put forcibly before the authorities. Mr James remarked that Mr Coorabes, con- ectioner, Pontypridd had had to pay over £ 50 a year in repairing damage done to his vans by the tramway. It .was ultimately decided that the Clerk should ■Write to the Board of Trade and ask them to op- Pose the transfer of the tramway unless the line Was properly pitched between the rails and to a ,Oertain extent on each side. Mr Mathias thought something should be said lb(lut the gradients of the tramways, and com- Pamt should be made of that near {the Vaughan's Arms and Eirw bridge where the trams some- tinaeagcran wild. The Hoard decided that the matter of the gradients should also be mentioned to the authorities.

Edwards, schoolmaster, Mr Elias Phillips, Mr Weir and Mr Collins appeared before the Board and complained of the bad state of the roads in j Ystrad Rhondda and Heolfach. The Rev Mr Williams stated that there was a good deal of traffic on the roads referred to and the deputation hoped the Board would do some- thing to remedy the state of affairs. The roads in front of the churches were in a very bad state. The chairman said that the Board were doing a portion of the road opposite the station and in° tended proceeding with the improvement of the footpaths of the main ways. Answering a remark made by Mr Griffiths the Rev M r Williams stated that although he should be glad to make them all churchmen yet he did not come there to preach to the Board. H e came there simply to plead the cause of the inhabit- ants and not of the church. (Laughter.) The Board informed the deputation that their request would be duly attended to. MEDICAL STATISTICS.
