PONTLOTTYN «• VETERAN HONOURED. PRESENTATION" MEETING AT BETHLEHEM On Wednesday evening a public meeting was held at Bethlehem C.M. Chapel, Pont- lottyn, when Mr John D.tvies, senior deacon, was presented with a handsome oak chair by members of the above church, of which he has been the guiding light for -any years. The Rev. D. R. Beynon presided, and in opening the proceedings said Mr Davies Iud been associated with Bethlehem for UPWARDS of 60 y 'ars, and had always proved himself to be the possessor of a roule and a lovable character. At an early A ge he devoted his MORAL and religious gifts to the expansion of the K iugdom i which is not of this world, and has added immensely to the glory, lustre and dignity of his office. The lofty purity of his mind and the catholicity of his spirit had endeared him to a large number of friends. In Mr. Davies we find a rare combination of un- clouded enthusiasm and depth of conviction, with gentleness of tiemcauour and personal charm of manner, which com'nended him affectionately to nil members of society. Incapable of anything mom and un- christian-like. He has proved himself on many occasions to possess a clear perception and sound judgment. He emulates in a marked degree the best sons of Ceredigion, in which county he first saw light 84 years Hgo. Although a man of slower pace and horter breath than when he first came to Pontlottyn, still he is as young and active as ever in mind and .spirit. He saw his duty as a watchman in his tower and determined to du it, trusting in Him of Whom it is written. He giveth power to the faint, and to them that have NO might He increasoth strength. He walks boldly the pathway of duty, although rugged and perilous, The presentation was made by Mis Alex. Davies, senior lady member, who spoke highly of Mr Davies' rare qualities, and said she was rather surprised that this mark of appreciation had been so long delayed. He deserved it; deserved it well deserved it all. He merited this token by his character, by his acts, and by the tenor and tone of his life. Mr Miles Williams, one of the initiators of the movement, pointed out to those present Mr Davies' long connection with the church, as a member, teacher and deacon, pnd Mr Williams paid tribute to his faith- fulness to all meetings of the church, and that the chair given that night was far below minimum wage for the noble service rendered by Mr Davies. Mr J. Morgan (Baptist) said he had known Mr Davies for 40 years, and if there was one higher in his estimation than others, he had no hesitation in saying that that one was Mr Davies. After so many years of intimate association with him, he knew of no black spot in his character, and that he was in every respect a worthy example to follow his footsteps. He wished him and Mrs Davies a quiet eventide. Mrs H. Beynon Davies, Trigfa, ably testified to the excellent services he bad rendered to the church and the place in general. In every storm of life he /as rock and oak, but in the sunshine he was vine and flower, and that on his forehead raIls the golden dawn of a grander day. With loyal heart and with purest hands he faithfully discharged all trusts. Alderman W. Williams bore testimony to his loyal devotion to the cause of the Master. He. is. in ways often unseen, a lesson and a help to others to go and do likewise. Councillor Ben. Hughes spoke of Mr Davies as the mascot" of the church, who always brought luck with him. Mr I Hughes paid respect to his genial dis- position, which was a splendid recommen- | dation to the religion of Jesus Christ. He I was very glad that God had seen fit to j allow him to remain with us so long to give t to the coming generation the fruit of matured experience and wise counsel. Mr WM. Williams, Reform-street, had known him for quite a number of years as a friend and landlord, and thus had the privilege of knowing him intimately. He had no doubt but that Mr Davies was a man of God, who will live in the hearts of those who come after, and that he has stamped his character on the pillars of the age. Mr D. LI Jones, Brewer-street, heartily endorsed all that had been said with refer- ence to Mr Davies. He expressed a desire that he may live marry years to enjoy the evening of his life. Mr E. H. Williams spoke in a similar strain. Mr. Dd. Williams (Baptist) condemned the current notion of what constitutes a hero. He said we are too apt to worship the man who appears with great flourish of trumpets, and totally disregard the hero who works silently, yet effectively behind the s(-otie-wliose left hand knows not what his right hand d>>eth. He considered Mr Davies to be the best type of hero. Mrs D. W. Jones, School House, who spoke on behalf of her husband (unavoid- ably absent through illness), thought that the testimonial should have been given years ago, but at the same time she was highly pleased that the church had risen to the occasion and made a presentation while he was yet able to make good use of it. Mr Dd. Jones (Preswylfa) spoke in a very eulogistic manner of Mr Davies' many and varied services on behalf of his Mester, and that ho was always ready to pour oil on troubled waters. He was confident that what we admired. and venerated in him would never be dismissed to the chambers of forgetfulness and death. Mr Edward Williams, New Road, spoke U; one who had been in close intimacy with f,in1, and that the more he bad to do with inm the higher he went in his estimation. He invited those present to visit Mr Davies at his house if they wanted to see him at his best. Mr D. Daniel Davies, Garth-street, read a few verses of poetry suitable for the occasion, and was well applauded for his splendid effort. Mr Davies suitably replied to his many friends for their kind words and good wishes, and made it known that he was profoundly touched by the cordiality of 1 heir greeting. Solos and quartettes were excellently rendered by Misses Rachel E. Hughes, Elorrie Williams, Emily Williams, and Messrs. Willie; Davies and E. J. Jenkins. Miss Marian Hughes and Mr Jack Saunders. B.Sc., played their part well as accompanists. A word of praise must also be paid to Messrs. Evan Morgan and Willie Davies, for the efficient manner in which they performed their duties as secretary and treasurer. A letter of regret was read from the Rev. R. G. Hughes, for his absence, owing to an important engagement he had elsewhere.

- -_._- - - I j HOUSING PROBLEM…
j HOUSING PROBLEM AT BARGOGD. SERIOUS OVERCROWDING. Considerable discussion took place at a meeting of the Gelligaer Council on Tuesday, respecting the hons- ing of people at Bargoed. The Housing Committee recommended the Council to offer Mr A. C. Thomas X200 per acre for land for building at Gilfach. Coun. cillor W. Hammond, Tirpbil, moved an amendment that it be not adopted, .nd Councillor Gus Jones, Bar- goed, seconded. Mr Hammond was opposed to launch- ing on big expenditure to buy the land, and Mr Gas Jones said that other building schemes were likely to develop at an early date in close proximity to the land in question. Councillor Morgan Jones, Bargoed (formerly Chair. man of the Housing Committee) said private enterprise was practically at a standstill. He emphasised that he knew there were whole streets in Bargoed where over- crowding existed to a regrettable extent. On every occasion when the rates happened to go up one penny or so it was seized upon in Bargoed on account of the scarcity of houses as an excuse for sending up rents Is., 2s., and lie could say 3s. per month. These conditions prevailed simply and solely because the demand for houses exceeded the supply. They heard recently a house agent saying that he had over 500 applications for houses. For the very site in question people had actually taken a portion of it. Paying at the rate of £ 375 per acre. On the other side of the valley the Powell Duffryn Company bought land at X250 per acre. He believed that last month's committee of the Merthyr Corporation recommended the buying of a piece of land at X-500 per acre in 1W03 Caerphilly gave X400 per acre for a school site, and £ 1,600 and X900 per acre for other pieces of land Abercarn gave Y,2,389 for about three acres, while other authorities had paid much more for land than they were now prepared to give.—In reply to Councillor David Hopkins, Mr Jones said that it was proposed to take 30 acre* of land, which would cost about £ 6000. Mr W. Hammond strongly opposed the Housing Committee's recommendation. He reminded the Council that two years ago he brought up the housing needs of Tirphil, and that a resolution was passed to write to the Bute Estate about land. No reply had been received, why, he did not know, unless it was because the Clerk had not written. The Clerk Do not dispute this. Mr Hammond maintained that in no part of the parish was there a greater need of houses than at Tirphil. He also considered that the offer was too much, and that it would be an additional burden on the ratepayers before it could be developed. The Council ought not to put its fingers into the site for the sake of Mr A. C. Thomas. Mr M. Jones strongly protested 2Lgainst the last expression, and said that no one was doing this for the sake of Mr A. C. Thomas. He had never advanced any proposal in favour of any individual outside the Council, and if it was to be applied to anybody, Mr Hammond ought to be an authority on the point. Mr Giles agreed that the houses were needed for the working classes, but there were many things to be con- sidered before embarking on this scheme, and he would like the matter deferred, so that public meetings could be called in every ward to sound public opinion on the subject. Mr H. Brown said that the condition of Tirphil did not justify the amendment for rejecting the recom- mendation of the Housing Committee. It was full time that the matter should be taken up, and it had been one of the features on his election address. Mr E. Richards said he was, as they knew, in favour of municipal housing when private enterprise was in- adequate, but, in his opinion, it was desirable to have an expert's opinion as to the safety of the site, for he did not know whether the Mynyddislwyn seam had been worked there, and to what extent. He wanted to know also the elements which had led to the reduc. tion in the price at first offered. Mr M. Jones explained this on the ground that the original offer had included the whole of the land, with a gift of seven or eight acres, and the Committee had eliminated the land which was unsuitable for their scheme, and marked out only the eligible portion, with the result that the free gift would not stand, the con- ditions not being complied with, and so the price of the offer came nearly to the same. Mr Richards finally proposed, that subject to the opinion of an expert being satisfactory, the recom- mendation of the committee be approved. After a long discussiou this was carried by nine votes to two.—Mr Hammond and Mr Gus Jones opposing. At the close of the discussion, Mr M. Jones called upon Mr Hammond to retract the charge he had made, or, if he would not do so, to make it on a public plat- form. » Mr Hammond said he had not made any reflection on Mr M. Jones, or even mentioned his name.
ALLEGED NEGLECT AT GELLIGAER.
ALLEGED NEGLECT AT GELLIGAER. Harriot Powell (42) married, Gelligaer, was charged at tho Bargoed Police Court on Friday, by the National Society of the Prevention jof Cr-uelty to Children with neglecting her children. The evideuce was that defendant was a married woman, named Evans, and that for some years she had been living with a man named Powell. She had four children, three of whom were illegitimate. The children had been neg- lected when the defendant had given way to drink, and at such times there was quar- relling at night, which frightened the children, and disturbed the neighbours. On the 8th January she left home, and said she was coming to Bargoei Police Court, where she was wanted for indecent language, but instead of attending the court, she disap- peared, and was arrested some time after at Pentre. The cases of children being deserted by mothers, Mr W. J. Canton (who appeared for the Society) said, were becom- ing rather frequent. P.C. Joseph Edwards said defendant had a filthy mouth and violent temper." The eldest girl was 10 years old, and the baby two years. He had asked Powell whether he had turned the woman out, and he said he had given her money, but instead of pro- viding food she had spent it in drink. The children were always poorly clad. On the 21st July last she threw the contents of a bucket over Powell.-Charlotte Owen said that on the 8th of January defendant left the children at her house. The children were poorly clothed.—Inspector Starr said that the children were fairly well nourished, but their clothing was dirty and insufficient.. —Defendant made a piteous appeal to the Bench, who finally adjourned the case for a month, to give defendant a trial, and dis- missed it on that understanding.
