John Davies, Ceulanytnaesmawr; Messrs. J. B. Morgan, Cynnullmawr, M. D. Williams, Issayndre; W. Morris, Cyfoothy- bretyn; John Jones, Llanbadarn Lppt^ William Mason, Llancvnfelin, David Mor- gan, Llanfihangel Upper; Wm. Davies, Llan- llar; Evan Lewis, Llanrhystyd Haminiog; Joseph Parry. Melindwr; Richard Thomas, Tirymynach: and Lewis R. Lewis Vaenor Lower; with Hugh Hughes (clerk), E. Llewellin (assistant clerk), J. Hughes (inspec- tor), and the Surveyors. Cost of Elections. The Clerk presented a bill, amounting to JE54 9b., being the cost of the recent elec- tions in the rural districts.—In reply to Mr. J. B. Morgan, the Clerk said the cost would fall on those parishes wlie-le elections took place.—It was decided that the bill be paid. Cwmystwyth Road. Mr. David Morgan drew attention to the great expense incurred in maintaining this toad, and suggested that as so much stone had not been put on it, that the Surveyor be instructed to put it in proper state of re- pair, with a view to its being taken over, by the County Council.—In reply to the Rev. John Davies, Mr. Morgan said the road led from the Cwmystwytn works to Devil's Bridge Station.—The Surveyor said there were three bridges, on the road maintained by the County Council. The road was form- erly the main road to RhaIader.-The Clerk said am average of JE80 per month had been spent in maintaining roads in that district during the past six months.—No resolution was moved, but Mr. Morgan, whose term of office has expired, said he would request one of the other representatives of the district to give notice of motion on the matter. Talybont Water Supply. The Clerk read another letter from the Local Government Board enquiring the pre- sent position of things in regard to the water supply of Talybont.—Mr. John Jones: How long will this be on the agenda again?—The Rev John Davies said he did not think anv- thing had been done further. The local committee had had Mrs. Anwyl's terms, but he understood they were making enquiries with a view to getting water on more reason- able terms elsewhere. He proposed that the Clerk write to the local committee stating that unless they submitted a definite scheme by the next meeting, that the Council would take the matter into their own hands.—Mr. John Jones seconded, and this was carried. Borth Sewerage. The Clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board with reference to the question of the sewerage of the village of Borth, and in forwarding a copy of a letter which the Board had received from Mr. Fielden, of Borth, requested to be informed definitely of the steps which the Council pro- posed to take to remedy the existing nuisance Mr. Fielden's letter stated that the Council in a former letter to the Board spoke of re- placing the old wooden troughing with iron pipes. Nothing had been done, and the con- sequence was that the drainage of all the houses was completely blocked, and the season for visitors, when the place would contain from 3,000 to 4,000 inhabitants, was just upon them. The order to the inhabit- ants to clean out the cesspools was ridiculous, as the only cesspools were in the course of the common sewer, and all pipes were block- ed against ingress or egress.—The Inspector said he had served notices on the Cambrian Railway Company and the Cambrian Hotel Company to clear out. the cesspools. The Railway Company had replied stating that the matter would receive attention.—Mr. J. B. Morgan pointed out that Mr. Fielderf had disconnected his premises from the sewer, and that was a cause of nuisance.—After some discussion, Mr. J. B. Morgan proposed j that the Surveyor get the sewer placed in proper order. and that notice be then served on Mr. Fielden to connect his premises I therewith.—The Rev. John Davies seconded, and this was carried.—The Clerk wfs instruct- ed to write to the Local Government Board ¡' informing that body what steps were being taken.—On the proposition of Mr. W. Mor- ris, it was also decided to forward copies of the correspondence to the Borth Parish Council. Borth Parochial Committee. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. W. G. Jones, clerk of the Borth Parochial Com- mittee stating that at the last meeting the committee decided to clean the reservoir and also do other needful work at once. This work could not be done unless they had money. They used to have a treasurer at Borth belonging to the Parochial Committee for the last tenty yars until last year, and they did not know why they did not allow it now. The letter asked was there any means to have the money in advance to do the work stated.—The Clerk said in the old tintee they used to give the committee a certain sum, but the auditor had, stopped it. There was no authority under the Local Government Act to pay money like this. He suggested that they empower the Inspector to pay sums of this kind up to £ 2.—Mr. J. B Morgan moved a resolution to this effect, which was carried. Medical Officer's Report. The Rev. John Davies moved that the thanks of the Council be given to the two Medical Officers for their excellent annual reports. reports have sn ready appeared in the Gazette."—Mr. David Morgan sec- onded, and the proposition was carried. Glanfread Road. The Rev. John Davies said the committee appointed at the previous meeting had not yet been able to arrange an interview with the County Surveyor in regard to Glanfread Road. He would now propose that the m- mittee and their own Surveyor meet. on the road, draw out a statement of what they in- tended doing and prepare an estimate of the cost. These particulars could then be for- warded to the County Council, in order to aaoectam whether, if the work was carried out, the County Council would take over the road as a main road.—Mr. Joseph Parry "Seconded," and this was agreed to. Inspector's Report. The Inspector reported that he had not cleared out the drain which led from Pwll- hobi through Ciiehalog, pending a reply from the County Council. He waited until the County Council decided what steps to take to get rid of the wator which was now stag- y nant, and would be an offensive nuisance. If it was decided to have the drain cleared, ho suggested the purchase of proper drain cleaning rods. The old culvert at Borth had again been damaged, and some repairs had to be carried out. He thought a cleansing machine would be a great benefit to the place, as the troughing employed some one almost through the year. He had served notices as to cleaning out cesspools. All the slaughterhouses in the district were fairly well kept, especially those in the vicinity of Aberystwyth. There was not the same ac- commodation in country districts as with the town butchers. The question of supplying Dolypandy, Penllwyn, with water, had been discussed by a number of owners, and one well on the land of Mr. Thomas James, J.P., was inspected, but it was feared that the supply would not be sufficient, and it was de- cided to isk the Rev. Mr. Morgans for his permission and terms to have water from his land, where it was thought there was an abundant supply. This part had been neg- lected very much, and the inhabitants were now compelled to drink water from a gutter full of decayed leaves and soot.—Mr. M. D. Williams spoke stro ly of the condition of the drain at Llanbadarn, and said if it was not immediately attended to the consequences would be serious. He proposed that a com- mittee be appointed to wait upon the ten- ant of the field.—Mr. Richard Thomas sec- onded. and the proposition was carried, the committee appointed being Messrs. Joseph Parry. M. D. Williams, and R. Thomas.— Mr. M. D. Williams also proposed that the Inspector be authorised to purchase a cleansing: machine as recommended by him. —Mr. W. Davies seconded, and this was agreed to.—"Regarding the water supply at Dolpandy, Mr. Joseph Parry said the feel- ing of a large number of the inhabitants was that the supplv should be obtained from Plynlimon main. As there were so many small interests involved, however, he thought the only way a proper supply could be ob- tained was by the matter being taken in hand by the District Council.—Mr. John Jones proposed that a period of six weeks Be allowed the inhabitants to prepare a scheme. If no scheme was forthcoming, then the Council would take the matter up and provide a scheme.—Mr. Joseph Parry seconded, and the proposition was agreed to. Measles at Borth. Dr. James reported an epidemic of measles at Borth. The Board School had been closed from March 15th to April 11th, and the National School was closed on March 28th for the same cause. Votes of Thanks. Mr. Joseph Parry proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring chairman.—Mr. Rich- ard Thomas seconded, and the proposition was agreed to.—Votes of thanks were also accorded the ex-vice-chairman (Mr. David Davies) and the officials.

Welsh County Schools Association, ANNUAL MEETING AT ABERYSTWYTH. The annual general meeting of this Asso- ciation was held on Thursday last at the University College, Aberystwyth, Mr. J. Trevor Owen (Swansea) presiding. The balance sheet for the past year showed a balance in hand of P,12 Is. lid., but there were arrears of subscriptions amounting to £ 42. It was decided to take special steps to collect outstanding subscriptions. Alternative Schemes. Reference was made to the discussion at the last meeting of the Central Welsh Board as to the alleged abuse of the privilege of sending in alternative schemes. The Chair- man expressed a hope that head masters and head mistresses would exercise some re- straint in the sending in of alternative schemes. Over 100 alternative schemes were sent in last year, and owing to the tremendous expense. attaching to them they were in danger of losing this valuable privilege. In very few of these alternative schemes was there any underlying educa- tional principle, but they differed solely in the matter of detail. He proposed that a printed statement be sent out by the secre- tary to all members of the Association, draw- ing their attention to this matter. Mr. W. Lewis (Llanelly) seconded. Mr. W. J. Russell (Wrexham) said the members should also bear in mind that they now had the power of influencing very large- ly the drawing up of the syllabuses; before they were brought before them or the Cen- tral Welsh Board. Miss Rowlands (Ruthin) and Mr. H. H. Meyler (Machynlleth) said alternative schemes were probably sent in because certain text- books were already in the schools. It was no doubt a question of expense from the point of view of the schools as well. The Chairman's resolution was unanimous- ly carried. Assistant Teachers' Salaries. Mr. W. Jenkyn Thomas (Aberdare), hon. secretary, prop06ed- That, in the opinion of this Association, the maintenance funds r of the county schools are seriously inade- quate, and that, in particular, it is urgent that the amounts available for the salaries of assistant masters and mistresses should be largely augmented." The mover said the supply of assistant masters in Wales was de- teriorating, and advertisements for posts did not attract as many applicants as formerly. A very large number of good, efficient and experienced teachers were leaving Wales and were getting better appointments else- wlTe,'ag6 8alari&s for assistant r ln yaif™Tas £ 120< and the number \\ho leceived £ 170 was very small. Accord- ing to the ropoii. of the chief inspector of the Stn mn Board, an additional sum of wi necfsfai7 to bring up the schools at a u ua ^at? of Proper efficiency. Air. xi. M. Meyler, in seconding, said the maximum salary paid to assistants ic Mont- gomeryshire was £125, and head masters were very little better off. The struggle to main- tain sctne of the schools in the country dis- tricts of Montgomeryshire had been very great, and had involved sacrifice on the part of those engaged in building them up, which ought not to hare been laid upon them. Fnlffis the advantages that accrued under the Act wero taken UP. and that vory quickly some schools in North Wales were boilud to collapse. Mr. T. G. Lewis (Tregaron) said in Cardi- ganshire they could not afford a higher maxi- than. €110 or £ 120. Mr. Cloldvn JToIgelley) remarked that in ■fie; lone t fosh i re the 2jd. rate had been j/,opted, and would be devoted almost alto- gether to secondary schools. Mr. T. R. Davies said in some cases the salaries paid in elementary schools were bet- ter than the salaries paid in secondary schools. The resolution was unanimously carried. Day Training Colleges. Mr. W. Lewis (Llanelly) proposed the fol- lowing resolution:— That representation be made to the authorities of day training colleges with a view to a modification of the terms of admission to the normal department of candidates from the intermediate schools. It is felt that the insistence on so much teaching experience will seriously interfere with, if not altogether stop, the supply of these candidates." Mr. H. H. Meyler seconded, and the reso- lution was carried. Metric System. Mr. T. R. Davies moved that this Asso- ciation welcomes, in the interests of com- mercial education, the proposed introduction of the metric system in place of the present cumbrous system of weights and measures." —Mr. T. G. Lewis seconded, and the reso- lution was carried. Mr. Edgar Jones. Barry, submitted the following resolutions:—That the Court of the University of Wales be respectfully urged. (1) To accept geography as an optional subject in Section D of the regula- tions for the matriculation examination of the University. (2) To provide for an inter- mediate course of study in geology and physical geography in the University, with a view to securing a training for teachers of geography. (3) To make a conversational knowledge of French compulsory on all can- didates taking ordinary, intermediate special, and honours courses in French.-Thcse re- solutions were unanimously adopted. On the proposition of Mr. A. Clendon, it was decided to call the attention of the Uni- versity Colleges to the fact that although much attention is given to practical science scholarships of the University Colleges were awarded without any examinat-on in practi- cal work. Mr. Trevor Owen was re-elected president for the ensing year, Mr. T. R. Davies treasurer, and Mr. W. Jenkyn Thomas secretary. Mr. T. R. Davies was elected as representative of the South Wales head masters and head mistresses on the Central Welsh Board.

LLEDROD. Death.—The death took place on Thurs- day, March 31st, of Mrs. Letitia Williams, Glandwr, wife of Mr. Moses Williams.

DEVIL'S BRIDGE. Eisteddfodic.Great satisfaction was felt in the village over the success of the Devil's Bridge Children's Choir, at the Mynydd Bach Eisteddfod. Both the choir and its leader Mr. T. Lewis Jones, Rheidol House, are to be congratulated on their victory. The slight repulse received by the choir on Eas- ter Tuesday was a mere accident, the over eagerness of the very little ones occasioning a faulty start. It is to be hoped however, they will not be discouraged by petty re- verses, but that they will bravely gird up their loins again for renewed triumphs in the future.

Gadawocld un mab, chwech o ferched, a nifer o wyrion i alaru ar ei hoi. Yn marwolaeth Mrs Morgan, cafodd yr eglwys yn Ponterwyd golled fawr mewn rnwy nag un ystyr. Fel y dywedwyd eisoes, yr oedd yn un o ffyddloniaid yr eglwys; a bu am oes faith yn ffyddlawn iawn. Bu yn aelod cyflawn o'r eglwys am dri tigain a deuddeg o flynyddoedd. Arferai ofal neullduol bob amser am alhnolion crefydd. Cyfranai yn bael a difwlch at gynal yr achos ar hyd y blynyddoedd.

Yr oedd yn selog a gweithgar hefyd o blaid yr Ysgol Sabbothol ar hyd ei hoes. Bu yn athrawes yn yr Ysgol Sul am o baner cant i dri ugain mlynedd, ac nid esgus neu enw o athrawes ydoedd ond yr oedd y n un o'r goreuon o athrawesau y lie. Yr oedd yn meddu ar alluoedd deallol cryfion, ac wedi darllen llawer ar y Beibl ar hyd ei hoes, ac ni byddai bytb yn myned i'r Ysgol Sabbotbol beb fod wedi paratoi yn mlaen Haw i gyfarfod a'i dosbarth; a phan fyddai y dosbartb a bitbau wedi cyd-gyfarfod, byddai ganddi ryw bethau gwerth eu gwybod au cofio. Chwith gan lawer o rai fu yn ei dosbartb feddwl na chant y pleser o fod yn ei chwmni mwy- ach. Ni chlywyd cymaint ag un erioed o'i disgyb- lion yn ameu ei duwioldeb; yr oedd hwnw yn ddi- amheuol. Heddwch i'w llwch.

CARDIGAN. A Substantial Yield.—The gross results of the concert held at Capel Mair on Good Fri- day amounted to £ 33, and the balance to the good of £19 2s. lOd. has been given over to the improvement fund. Horse Show.—A meeting of the Committee of the Cardigan and Tivy Side Entire Horse Show was held under the presidency of the Mayor at the Council Chamber, Guild Hall, on Tuesday evening. It was decided to hold the show on the last Saturday in April, as in previous years, on Mr. D. Ivor Evans' field, which he has again kindly put at the dis- ■ posal of the Committee. Last year's cata- logue was agreed to for the coming show, and it was decided to raise the first and second prizes in the cob, and Welsh cob classes, to t4 and 1:2, as in the other classes. Horticultural Lectures. A committee meeting of the Town Council was held on Wednesday last, when there were present the mayor (Mr. E. Mathias), Alderman J. C. Roberts, Councillors A. Clougher, J. Evans (a), J. Daniel, T. H. Williams, S. Young, and the clerk (Mr. D. Morgan Jones).—Certain names were nominated for the offices of overseers for the parishes of St. Mary's, and St. Dogmells municipal.—The Surveyor re- ported that a house erected at Newtown by Mr. Thomas Jenkins was in contravention of certain sections of the bye-laws.—The owner attended and gave an explanation, but the Council were of opinion that he had failed to show cause why the defecting portion should not be removed unless he complied with the bye-laws.—The question of applying to the County Council for a course of lectures by Mi-. J. L. Pickard on horticulture was con- sidered, and it was unanimously resolved that the Council form itself into the local ^com- mittee, with power to add to their number from outside, and that application be made to the County Council for a course of lectures. Vestry Meeting.—The annual vestry meet- ing of the parishioners of St. Mary's Church was held at the Church on Thursday. The Vicar presided, and others present included Messrs. D. Davies, Stanley House; B. Park-, inson, Captain K. W. Picton Evans, G. W. Potter, Chubb, stationmaster; Henry Evans, D. S. Davies, LI. Davies, and J. L. Stokes, with the Rev. Thos Evans, B.A., curate.—The vicar, the Rev. D. J. Evans, M.A., first delivered an interesting address, in the course of which he reviewed the work of the past year, showing substantial pro- gress on all sides. He reterred feelingly to the illness of Mr. W. Joseph, the clerk to the vestry meeting.—On the motion of Mr. D. Davies, seconded by Mr. Henry Evans, a vote of sympathy was passed writh him in his illness.—Mr. T. Lewis was then appointed secretary pro tern.—Mr. D. Davies, in reply to pressure to continue as vicar's warden., failed to see his way clear to accept it on account of ill health and absence from home. —The Vicar, therefore, nominated Captain R. W. Picton Evans as his warden.—Mr. B. Parkinson, people's warden, also could not be prevailed upon to accept office for another year, and Mr. J. L. Stokes proposed, and Mr. LI. Davies seconded that Mr. G. W. Potter be appointed people's warden.—No other name was put to the meeting, and this proposition was carried unanimously.—After an eulogistic reference to their work by the Vicar, Messrs. Henry Evans, and D. S. Davies were unanimously re-elected Welsh churchwardens.—Mr. D. Davies, Stanley House, was appointed lay-elector.—The Vicar returned his thanks for the Easter offerings, and the meeting was then adjourned until the following Tuesday evening to receive the accounts. Competitive Meeting.—The last of a series of very successful competitive meetings, which have been held during the winter months, took place on Wednesday evening in last week at Bethania Chapel. It proved one of the most instructive and entertaining ever held, most of the items being keenly contested. The singing, especially in the female competitions, deserves special men- tion, and the adjudicator characterised it as being of very high merit, and due to the splendid opportunities offered by those meet- ings. In the unavoidable absence of the conductor and chairman, these offices were filled by Mr. W. Jenkins, A.C., who kept the audience in admirable order throughout The success of the meetings is largely due to the untiring energy displayed by the secre- tary, Mr. 0. Williams, Queen's-terrace. The adjudicators were:—Music, Mr. T. Conwyl Evans,. Carmarthen; prose, etc., Revs. D. Morgan. St. Dogmells; and E. Evans, Hope. Mrs. Jones, Emerald House, was the accompanist. Competitions.'

A service was held at Monington at three, and at Llantood at seven, the Rev. J. Myfenydd Morgan officiating at both churches. The Easter Sunday services were conducted by the Vicar, and at the morning and evening services an anthem was sung by the choir. The curate took the services at Llantood and Monington. Vestry Meeting.—The annual vestry meet- ing was held at the National Schoolroom on Monday evening, under the presidency of the Vicar, and the Rev. J. Myfenydd Morgan. The Vicar addressed a few preliminary re- marks on the changes that had taken place during the nine years he had been there.— The accounts were then passed, and a sub- stantial balance was reported to the good.- A hearty vote of thanks, proposed by the Chairman, was accorded the two church- wardens, Capts. George Richards and John Jones, Penrhiw, for their work during the year.—Captain George Richardi was re- elected people's warden, and the Vicar re- appointed Captain John Jones as his warden. —The following were appointed sidesmen :— Captains Wm. Joues. David Jones and John Jones, Messrs. David Volk, Bvan Davies, George Adams, and Thomas Mwai-ds.Sonle discassiow took place on the question of building a wall at the north end of the churchyard. Difiprent opinions, were ex- pressed, but there was a unanimous feeling as regards having the wall. Eventually the subject was postponed for a few weeks in order to call a general meeting of those iu- terested in the yard.—The Vicar was thanked for presiding, and the meeting then ended.
