Tyrer (depnty-clerk), Mr Dan H. Price (surveyor), Mr F. Hynam (sanitary in. spector), and Mr A- Kichards (collector). A MINUTE QUESTIONED.—Upon the Minute* being considered, Mr R. J. Jones questioned the decision of the Council at the last special meeting to proceed with the new Access Road, Aigoed, on the alternative site. -Mr Edgar Davies agreed with Mr Jones, but when it came to a vote of the members present at that meet- ing the Minutes were confirmed.-Mr Tillott pointed out that there was a moral obligation of the Council to make this road at Argoed. It was time they should decide the matter one way or another.—Mr Isaac Jones said he should object to the expenditure out of revenue. -Mr Tillott pointed out they could not get a loan owing to the width of the read. COLLECTOR'S REPORT. The collector, Mr A. Richards, reported that he had collected X120 on the N General District Rate, The estimated amount to be collected in the Rbymney Valley was 46,517, and iB the Sirhowy Valley t4,992 Os. Sd., a total of £ 11,509. The rateable value for Poor Rate purposes was 105,638, and the assessable value £ 97,864. WATER SEtYicE.—The quantity of water supplied to the Sirhowy Valley during the March quarter was 10,791,900 gallons, and in the Rhymney Valley 4,740,000 gallons from the Rhymney and Aber Com" pany, and 8,157,500 from the Tredegar Council for the same district. Owing to a landslip near Bedwellty Pits there had been a series of breakages in the Trede- gar Council's mains, and the manager of those works had expressed an opinion that there were other leak- ages in the vicinity, The pumping main to Phillips- town was being proceeded with. The 6-inch main for Brithdir to the proposed low service reeervoir at Cwm- syfiog was also completed. PLANs.-The following plans were approved of: 14 houses at Penywerlod, for the Penywerlod Building Club; 20 houses at Bedwellty, for the Bedwellty Building Club; additions to Woodbine," Blackwood, for Dr. D. M. Hughes motor garage, at Blackwood, for Mr C. W. Ebdon lock-up shop, at Twynffald, for Mr R. Jeremiah. SIRHOWY VALLEY DESTRUCTOR.—The surveyor, Mr Dan H. Price, reported that he had received three tenders varying from X162 to X516 for a small refuse destructor at the Gas Works, Blackwood. He sug- gested that the Sirhowy Valley Committee should be empowered to consider these.—Mr S. Godwin What about the money ? Has it been included in the Budget f (No). I move then it be done out of loan instead of out of current rate.—Mr Bofton seconded.—The Sur- veyor remarked that if they went in for a loan they would land themselves in a difficulty.—Mr Bufton said if they were going in for a loan they should have a proper refuse destructor. The small destructor was only intended to deal with obnoxious refuse. It was absolutely necessary to have a large destructor at once. He moved that the matter be referred back.—Mr R. J. Jones seconded, and it was carried unanimously. ELECTRIC LIGHT EOR ABSRBAROOKD,—Mr Her- bert Lewis, the manager of the Rhymney Valley Elec- tric Supply Co., attended before the Council with re- ference to the supply of current for Aberbargoed.—A member asked whether the local Chamber of Trade were also represented.—Mr W. J. Davies said that authority had not considered the matter under its latest phase.—Mr Lewis explained that the applicatioa to take light to Aberbargoed was not at the invitation of his company, but the Chamber of Trade, due, he alleged to the inadequate supply of gas. They negoti- ated with the Council for the supply of the public lighting which at that time cost the Council £ 319». 6d. per lamp per annum, and his company offered to do it for £ 3 17s. 6d. Some further negotiations took plaee, and under the new prices which the Gas Company were prepared to enter into, a seven years' agreement, the cost of the public lighting would be £ 3 lis. 4d. per lamp for an aggeegate of 3,151 hours per year. Hi. company was prepared now to enter into an agreement for the same number of years at .£3 9a. 6d. per lamp for a total of 4,27c hours per annum If the Council would grant them permission to put up wooden pole* instead of steel ones.—After some discussion it was de- cided to adhere to the gas service. A CHELTENHAM CONFERENCE.—The Chairmas and Surveyor were appointed to attend a conference of the Municipal Engineers, at Cheltenham, June 24th te 27th. MOTOR'S SPEED LIMIT.-It was decided to support Risca in their application to restrict the speed limit OF motors to ten miles an hour when passing through dis- tricts in Monmouthshire.

AEROPLANE TRAGEDY AVIATORS BURNT TO DEATH. A horrible accident cost the lives of at least two airmen, who were burnt to death in front of terrified thousands of spectators at the Buc Aerodrome, Pari. on Sunday. Splendid weather attracted a huge crowd, and after trial heate the airmen M. Deroye and M. Bidot, with pa&sengeer. started on a final speed race about four o'clock, and in the third time round M. Derove passed M. Bidot. who, however, seemed to spurt on a slightly higher plane, and, at the moment of overtak- ing, collided. The next moment the sound of a crash was audible for half a mile, and both machines fell headlong and within a few Seconds buret into flame. According to the account given 11 the Prr.<*e, when M. Deroye and his passenger, M. Marcel d'Albin, were extricated they were already burnt to cinders; whilst M. Bidot P. ml his passenger, M. Pelado, were breathing, but fearfully injured.

AHYMNEY YOUNG MAN KILLED.…
AHYMNEY YOUNG MAN KILLED. I 1 MOTHER HIS FIRST THOUGHT." Mr J. B. Walford, the district coroner, held an inquest at the Police-station, ilhymney, on Monday, concerning the death d George Thomas Benbow, residing at Brynseion-street, Rhymney, who was killed t No. 1 McLaren Colliery, Abei tysswg, on Friday. Mr George Evans was foreman of the jury. Mr S. Jenkins, Inspector of Mines, appeared for the Home Office; Mr John Evans, D.C., manager, for the Trede- far Iron and Coal Co., and Mr Albert x iomas, C.C., ior the Mioera* Fcdefation. Joseph Lloyd, who g-ave evidence of iden- tification, stated deceased was 20 years of age. He was strong, healthy, and active, s lie had been working underground from childhood. Thomas Robinson, collier, said on Friday be was working at the No. 1 McLaren Col- 1 ery. Deceased was working with him in the East district. They commenced work about 7 a.m., and about four hours later the accident happened. They had drawn some coal from under the stone and it, appeared quite safe. It dropped without the least varying. He shouted George and re- ceiving no answer rushed up. The stone was about a yard wide, and weighing about a ton. Deceased was underneath and doubled up. Witness shouted for' help and this came immediately. They got him out i,i about three or four minutes. He was unconscious and seriously mjured. He did U,)t know when the young man actually d'ed. Albert Enoch Jury, day fireman, said be knew the last witness well, and as an experienced man. He visitod the working place at ten o'clock that morning. It was then in a normal state, properly timbered, and apparently safe. He had, since the accident, examined the stone and found it was a compound of ironstone and cliff, which gave off a sound which was very de. ceptive as to its safety. He could not sug. gest any way to prevent a recurrence of these accidents, except by a more free use 0* timbering. The Coroner having reviewed the evi- dence, the jury returned a verdict of "Acci- dental death," and that there was no blame to be attached to anyone. The Jury also expressed their deepest sympathy with the widowed mother. The deceased, added Mr George Evans (the foreman), was a most unselfish boy, and always thought of his mother.—Mr Albert Thomas I, too, wish to be associated with that. I have just rc- c-wed a note from the workmen asking Int, to express their sympathy with the mother and family. Mr John Evans The management, too, feel very much grieved at the loss of so capable a young man. He was working with one of the best men we have in the p.t, and the two being steady capable men, we as a management feel it keenly.—The Coroner I wish you could go a little far- ther Mr Evans, and suggest a remedy which would prevent another accident.—A Juror: It is the bane of the co --tl field --Another jrror suggested the timbering of the whole of the roof.—Mr Jenkins (H.M. Inspector) said that in the Courriers mines they tim- bered practically the whole of the roof as they went along.

DEATH OF DR. W. E. WILLIAMS,.L…
DEATH OF DR. W. E. WILLIAMS, L J.P., GOVILON. We much regret to announce the death, which took place at his residence, Tv Clyd, Govilon, on Friday, of Dr. W. E. Williams, F.R.C.S., J.P. The deceased gentleman, who was a native of Llanhilleth, was the only brother of Mr E. Jones Williams, J.P., Coed Iorwg, and practised for many years at Abertillery, where he succeeded his father. He was well known and highly re- spected. He was the chairman of the Bed wellty Petty Sessional Division, and one of Quarter Sessions representatives on the Moumouthshire Standing Joint Committee. Dr Williams was a staunch Conservative and Churchman. He was one of the most prominent workers at St, Michael's Parish Church, Abertillery, until his removal from the neighbourhood, and had filled many offices. In 1895 he championed the Conservative interest in West Monmouth by contesting the seat against the late Sir William Har- court, but was defeated. For many years he was the president of the West Mon- mouthshire Conservative Association, which position he recently resigned owing to fail- ing health. However, he was induced to continue the post for a time. Whilst a resident at Abertillery Dr. Williams was a very prominent figure. He was for some years the medical officer to the old Local Board, and the chief medical practitioner in the district. The deceased was an extensive property owner in lilanhilleth, and much of the land devoloped during recent years belonged to him and his brother. After relinquishing his practice at Abertillery, Dr. Williams was appointed medical referee under the Workmen's Compensation Act, which posi- tion he held for a number of years. Though a stalwart Conservative, he won the admir- tion and respect of political opponents, and had a large circle of friends throughout the county, whose sympathy will be extended to Mrs Williams and also his brother, Mr E. Jones Williams. Dr. Williams was 68 years of age. TRIBUTES AT TREDEGAR COURT. Before opening the business at Tredegar Police-court on Tuesday, Mr T. J. Price, as chairman for the day, referred to the death of Dr. W. E. Williams, chairman of the Bedwellty Divisional Bench of Magistrates. He said the doctor was a gentleman of the old school, who had a kindly greeting and a warm shake of the hand for all. He was -a. gentleman who was exceedingly fair- jiminded and just. Mr E. H. Davies (clerk to the magistrates) said that Dr. Williams was an excellent chairman of many years' standing. He was one of his very old friends, and he had lost not only a good chairman, but a firm friend.—Mr R. H. Spencer, as the senior local practitioner, said that the doctor maintained the dignity of his high office as chairman no less than the prestige of the Bench by conscientious devotion to duty, high sense of justice, un- failing kindness and courtesy to all with whom he came in contact, and by his example in his private life. Captain T. O. Edwards, his Majesty's Factory Inspector, I asked to be associated in his professional capacity with the vote, and Superintendent Saunders, for the police, asked permission to join in the appropriate remarks of the chairman.

PENGAM PEOPLE IN MOTOR SMASH.
PENGAM PEOPLE IN MOTOR SMASH. SERIOUS INJURIES SUSTAINED. A motor-cycle and a heavy motor-car col- lided at Newnham, Gloucestershire, on Sunday, and resulted in two people sustain- ing serious injuries. The cycle was driven by Mr Herbert W. J. Davies, of Barman- road, Worcester, lately employed at Fetter- hill Stone Works, Coleford, and on the car- rier was Miss Callis, of Milend, Coleford. At a dangerous corner Mr Davies ran into the car, and the cycle was almost com- pletely demolished, the motor passing over it. The lady was thrown clear of the wreck, a fact to which she probably owes her life. CAR HAD TO BE LIFTED. The young man with his two-wheeler was fixed under the hind wheel of the oar, and there remained until a number of people had collected and were able to lift it off. The motor-car is the property and was driven by Mr Evan Henry Lloyd, of Cyril House, Pengam, near Cardiff, and with him were Mr and Mrs Rowland Williams, of the Palace Picture House, Pontardawe; Mr Francis Oliver Haines, Rutland-place, Newport; with two other ladies and a little girl. Dr. Thornhill was directed to the scene, as also were a number of ambulanoe men. Miss Cullis was conveyed to the home of Mr Ridley, Red House, her companion being afterwards carried to Dr. Thornhill's home. Miss Cullis was found to have received a double fracture of the left leg, with contu- sions. Her companion was extensively hurt, his left thigh being fractured, whilat his left wrist was severely lacerated. Later Miss Cullis was taken home by motor-oar, whilst Mr Davies was sent on in Mr. S. W. Hoddingham's motor to the Gloucester Infirmary. The occupants of the Pengam oar were unhurt, but the oar was completely disabled.
