j* » KA-ESTEG ME-MB. I (By FLASHLIGHT.) I # I After some years of agitation, a much- needed road improvement is likely to be car- ried out in Castle Street, Maesteg. and Duffryn Road, Caerau. The difficulty in the past has been the question of cost, but at last the Council consider they have obtained most reasonable terms. The financial difficulties will be easily recognised when it ia m^derstood that two railway bridges will have to be en- larged, at an estimated cost of about one thou- sand pounds each. It will also be necessary to widen a river bridge, and a house will have to be demolished, as it stands in the way of the proposed improvement. The lease of this house has five years yet to run, but a deputa- tion was appointed at the meeting to wait upon the leaseholders with a view to carrying out the work before the five years have alapsed. The cost of the land for the improve- ..ment will be about £ 8,000. Looked at at first glance, the figure appears to be rather heavy, but considering the necessity of the widening and the value of the land in a few years' time, the Council can be commended on accepting the offer without wasting any time. < < At Duffryn Road and High Street, Caerau, the land has been given to the Council free .f cost, subject to certain conditions being carried out. These conditions are compara- tively trivial, only necessitating the rebuild- ing of the wall on the line of the widneing. Here, again, no question of need can enter into the subject. The spot in question has been an eyesore to many for a number of years and it will not be denied that it could be counted among the danger spots in the dis- trict. Now formal sanction has been given by the owners. we doubt not that the Council will lose no time in harping over insignificant details, but will proceed with the work with all expedition and sweep away a remnant which will readily be lost.
