RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL, THE ESTIMATES. A SPECIAL meeting of this District Council was held on Wednesday night to receive the estimates for the half year ending [March 31st next, and to fix the first improvement rate, and for other business. Mr. H. Davies, J.P., presided, and the other councillors present were Dr. Towns- hend, Dr. Griffith, Messrs Goronwy 0. Jones, John Jones, and John Pritchard, together with Mr. John Hughes (clerk). A WEEKLY HALF-HOLIDAY FOR THE ROAD MEN, The Road Committee recommended that the roadmen be allowed to leave off work at one o'clock on Saturday afternoon instead I of at 4. Mr. John Pritchard thought Saturday afternoon was rather an awkward time to allow the men a weekly half holiday, and suggested that some other day be given. ¡ This was an afternoon that should be devo- ted to clean up the roads for the Sabbath. f The Chairman observed that the same ar- gument was adduced at the committee, but J the committee decided to pass the recom- mendation then before the council. In the case of a flood, or some extraordinary thing occurring, of course, the men would turn out on Saturday afternoons. Dr. Townshend said the idea was that the street cleaning on Saturday should be at- tended to later in the evening than four o clock, and it was thought that arrange- ments could be made for a general cleaning of the streets, after the main traffic had ceased on Saturday night. The recommendation was adopted. THE BUDGET.THE ESTIMATES.
