Mr Chapman: Mr Howells said he went w there (to Cwmtwroh), twice. Was tbis io interests of the Council or because Mr Boe had some malice against Mr Sam Tbotnaa ? Mr D Lewis (who wos in the chair ia 'f, temporary absence of Mr T Willinuit) said 0 did not like the word "malice." Mr Howclls Shall I aaawer ? t The Chairman I don't like that word Mr Howells No, no leave him alone. Wi- Mr Chapman You said you went up I want to know why. < The Chairman If yon are bringing a cego against Mr Howells, wa want to kuow Wh you say he went. Mr Chapman I do not know. m The Chairman Then if not, Mr cannot ad3wer it. Mr Lewis Thomas: I don't like thesa tions as to where and why Mr Howells up, and whether be went up twice. Where of be went, he went for facts not because personal feeling against Mr Thovars. de Mr Chapman I think Mr Howells [JJj$b the report, and you as a committee agreed e. him. Ycu did not go with him to ievestlf&'$b' With Mr Thomas Williams in the chaifi\ p Conncil proceeded to deal with Mr Morgan's bill, aud interviewed him on the ject. ABked if be had any account of tbej1^ worked by Mr Thomas, h^ replied in tbe ative, and said he had one book contai°V0 some entries with him, but he objected to Council seeing it. Mr D R Morgan said every item would to be proved before it was paid.j Mr Gwilym Morgan said the Conncil bftd the fsots in the accoont, o Tbe Clerk (Mr Jeatyn Jeffreys) pointfid tbat if that waa so, why need Mr Morgan to show his book containing them ? He replied tbat tbere were only a few in the book he bad with hicn, and there other books with entries at home. Be there were entries regarding other matterS the book he bad with him. 0 Mr Jestyn Jeffreys said the Council not pry into other matters entered in the A Mr W. D. Walters You must not go home now and make up your book Bcoard to tbe account you know 1 A Mr Morgan persisted in bis refusal to s" the book. The Clerk said the acoount was dated J 11th, more than two mouths ago, aud if Morgan said, Mr S J Thomas uid 170 £ work, he would have noteB of that on bis sheets. A Mr Morgan said the full details were and he could not produce them there. Council had his account. The Chairman That Trill net ao for o* Mr Morgan If you think the ConLicl not bad value I am willing to arbitrate. gtI.ø Answering another counoilior, Mr 1\1 refused to produce the aoooanta. MI The Chairman Yoo will have to ptooo them if yoa go to coart. $1)8 Mr Howells He is speaking about matter, and knows nothing about it. Mr Chapman Nonsense. The Chairman What is your oboe Come to the point. ft Mr Chapman I ask these questiatis .J enlightenment. The Chairman I am in a very a^ position, bat I most role that you mogt jP fine your questions, Mr Chapman, to oto Howells's report. You cannot make a cbs by insinuation. We must have plain fact Mr Chapman said all be bad to s" ¡P that people were declaring that Mr So had something against Mr Thomas. i Mr Howells said he was sorry ta Chapman bad brought the matter op^j^ way, because be (the speaker) had sp»tflV time in making his investigations, aod able to say tbat the whole thing was to the core." He bad nothing at all Mr Sam Thomas beyond what be discovered in his investigations. The matter then dropped. Mr D, R. Morgan asked if Mr Morgan was ready and willing to produce necessary figures by 12 o'clock noon. dooo Mr Morgan No I am living in Pontar I should have to go home first of all' to Mr D. R. Morgan Do yoo try to OV&de time sheets ?—No; it is done up. d Mr D. R. Morgan I maintain that o0' -M penny will be paid until everything is M After several questions, Mr Gwilym admitted that he booked the time as P* given him by Mr S. J. Thomas, from who usually got it at the latter's house. Mr Howells: Yea, and we are not ris" and we shall not pay until we are. Pressed by further questioners., Mr refused to produce his entry books, V stormy scene between him and Mr Walters ensued. Ultimately Mr F picked up his hat and stick and left 10 room, stating tbat as a representative 0 ratepayers he would never be a party payment of the olaim. Why yoa J # produce what you say are facts/ b" claimed, I cannot stand it; I am goi°&'r Mr Gwilym Morgan having withdraj' Council unanimously decided to witbbo' W ment until more proof wa<? forthcoming i work having been done as claimed for- b/ It waB agreed that the committee sP^ again meet to collect evidence from otber ooøø working on the bridge to lay before the oil at the next meeting.
