I ABERGAVENNY 1 RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. i Release of Roadmen for Farm Work. I LLANVIHANGEL ROAD NOTICE TO BE I SERVED ON CONTRACTORS. The monthly meeting of the Abergavenny Rural District Council was held on Tuesday, when there were present Messrs. Robert. Johnson, Edgar W. Lewis, John Prichard, Chas. Thomas, Wm. Haines, John Baynam, John Jenkins, John Lewis, John Watkins, WUI. Biggs, WM. Gwillim, George Spencer, J. W. Williams and David Edwards. Mr. John Prichard was elected chairman pro tem. Election of Chairman and Vice-Chairman. I Mr. Alfred Edwards proposed and Mr. W. Haines seconded, that Mr. Robert Johnson be re-elected chairman for the ensuing year, and this was carried unanimously. Mr. Johnson, in taking the chair, said he appreciated the honour, but he almost thought it was time for someone with more energy to occupy the chair. As it was their wish, however, he would do his best. The Chairman proposed the re-election .f Mr. E. W. Lewis as vice-chairman, Mr. John I'r:<_hard seconded, and it was carried. Mr. Lewis, in returning thanks, said that the office had not been a difficult one to fill, because the Chairman had always been very faithful to his duty. He believed he had not nrisse ] more than one meeting, and he hoped he WONHL be able to be as faithful in his new ycar of e. The Clerk said it was necessary to :L2ke a rate of id. in the for sanitary purposes. Mr. Baynam proposed, Mr. D. Edwards seconded, and it was carried that this rate be levied. Inspection of Registration Certificates. I Thc"Clerk read a circular letter from tb' I^ocal Government Board referring to regulations made under the Defence of the Realm Act with regard to national registration. By these regulations it was lawful for any person duly appointed, or for the police, to visit any house and to require the production of the certificate of registration of all male persons living in the house who were, or ought to have been, registered un»"C-r the Registration Act 1015, AND to take cooit-s C such certificates. If an- reasonable excuse, to produce a ccr;if:< ,»te he would be guilty of an offence again. these regulations. One of the main object- was to secure that the national register should, particu- larly in regard to men, be kept up to date by the due notification of changes of address and other- wise. It was at the present time of special im- portance that this should be done and all changes of address communicated to the military author- ities in accordance with the instruction-, given in the circular. The local registration authority could employ their own officers in the wrk, so far as they were able to undertake it. and they could put themselves into communication with the police authority and invite their assistance. Voluntary help might also be forthcoming. Any person who had lost his registration card should be warned to apply for a new one, and tho-e who had not been registered should apply at vnce for registration. If after due warning no steps were taken to rectify the omission, the local authority should consider whether a prosecution should be instituted. The Clerk said there was no dou-.T th.vt in- spection of cards was necessary whei: re ruiting was in its experimental stages, but if the General Compulsory Act was paseed whether a man had a card or not he would be enlisted if he was of military age. Still, these instructions must be carried out. In connection with, national registration, each member acted as the enumer- ator for his parish and without the Council making any appointment he thought they might incidentally inquire if people had their cards. The Chairman Do you think it is the duty of members of the Council ? The Clerk No, it is not a duty any NI^RC than enumeration was a duty. Mr. John Lewis: Is the Council SUPPOSED to carry out that duty ? The policemen in. our neighbourhood have been round. The Clerk said that the only purpose which would be served would be that they would be satisfied that people had notified their change of address. It could not affect the irucstion of enlistment. The Chairman Supposing we do know of cases in our parishes, what are we to do The Clerk I should be informed, that I can communicate with them. Mr. W. Haines Does it only apply to persons of military age ? The Clerk It applies to cveryborly between the ages of 16 and 6- It was decided to defer the matter till the next meeting, and the Clerk was directed to inquire from the Chief Constable if he had issued any instructions on the matter. The Clerk reported that the expenses, so far, incurred in maintaining the register amounted to ,,(S iqs. 2d. This had to be paid by the Council, and would be refunded bv the Exchequer. No Infectious Disease. The Sanitary Inspector reported that the district was free from infectious disease, and no cases had occurred during the except one at the Asylum. He had closed Llanwenarth Citra school, on account of the prevalence of whooping-cough among the scholars. He had received a letter from the clerk to the Llanddewi Rhydderch Parish Council, complaining of the state of the spring in a meadow on Ouarella Farm owing to the farmer's cattle getting into it, especially during the summer months, when they were standing in it most of the day. They asked that it be fenced in. The Surveyor was directed to in.?CCT and report to the next meeting. A Llanfoist Complaint. The Llanfoist Parish Council wrote with regard to the sanitary arrangements at Llanfoist Inn and the two cottages adjoining. Mr. Benjamin Price said this matter -hould be attended to at once. It had been hanging about a long time. The Clerk was directed to serve NOTICE on. the owner. Contractors and Ualwihangef Road. The condition cf the road from Llanvihangel station to the new waterworks road was men- tioned by the Surveyor. He said the con- tractors had put down about 70 tons.of tone altogether, but he had told them it wa-. not nearly enough. About three times that amount of stone was required on the road. He had asked the contractors to get it put down so that the roller, which was now at Llanthony, could roll it in. Mr. J. W. Williams said the road was in a disgraceful, state, and there was mud and slush 011 it practically a foot deep. He was told they had put all TIE stone they were going to 011 the road. Mr. Prichard said the contractors had given the Council a lot of trouble and had put the people in the neighbourhood to a lot of incon- venience. Thcv should be forced to do this work. The Council was not getting any profit out of their business. Mr. J. W. Williams said that unless the Council saw the road they could not n.II- what a state it was in. Mr. Baynam proposed that the CONTRACTORS be given a fortnight's notice to do the work, failing which the Council would do it and charge them with the cost, according to the agreement. Mr. W. Biggs seconded, and it was carried. Roadmen and Farm Work. With regard to the question of releasing the roadmen for some weeks during the summer, in order that they might engage in farm work, letters were read from. the Llanellen and Litn- over Parish Councils. The former asked that the roadmen should not be taken off the roads during the summer months, in consequence of the bad state, of the roads in the hilly part of the parish. The Llanover Parish Council also pro- tested against taking the roadmen off, as there was a let of work necessary on the upper roads which could best be accomplished while the days were long. There was enough WORK IN the summer months to keep the roads, anyhow. Mr. John Lewis Is there anything from Grosmont ? (Laughter'. The Surveyor said he had expected t're would have been and he wished there HAD! ECU, as he would have likcdi to answer it. Mr. Lewis Is it as good or as had as the report says? The Surveyor said the Crosmont people com- plained about their roads, but perhaps it was not within the knowledge of all the Council that I the rates they received from the parish of Grosmont were not sufficient to pay for the labour alone which had been engaged there. Last year the Council spent oyer L')(M on stone 5 (- (in for the parish, apart from labour. These figures were well within bounds, and he thought it was very unfair for a parish which was getting this attention to complain in the way thev did. Mr. John Prichard said he thought that labour on farms was much more important than having stone on the roads. In Germany prac- tically all the work was done by women, and the men were taken to fight. In Russia they had ordered all schools to be closed and boys had to go to work on farms, while schoolmasters and schoolmistresses had to do the same. The men ought to leave the roads to go to help farmers in the production of food for the country. It was all very fine to talk about a bye-road to DlaeIl- avon, where perhaps a market gardener and a donkey and cart went once a week. Mr. Jenkins They pay their share of rates. Mr. Prichard They pay a certain proportion. All that can he spared from the roads should go to help to get in the crops. Mr. J. W. Williams: Would it not BE ad- visable for one roadman to do two or three districts ? The Chairman That is what has been sug- gested, but Lianellen and Llanover ask that their men should be retained all the summer. Mr. George Spencer said lie believed one man looked after the roads in Govtre and Mauthilad. Mr. J. W. Williams The men will go to the hills where they can get more monev. if von release them. The Surveyor said that one man had asked to go off on the 1 st of May, as he had work to go to. He asked the man if it was farm work, and he replied that it was not. Mr. Hames The unaerstandmg was that. it we released them from the roads they should go to help fanners. Mr. Baynam A man will go where he gets the biggest pay and the least hours. illr. John Lewis said there was a certain num- ber of roadmen who would go to some farmer. What they wanted to impress upon the roadmen was that they should do all they could to help ill the production of food. They could well afford to let the roads go, to a certain extent, but not altogether, because that would be penny wise and- pound foolish. If they let the roads go a little they would have the benefit of the men's labour and would save money on the roads. Air. Jenkins A man can go where he likes, and you can't stop him. Mr. Baynam asked, if they gave the men three or six months off the roads and they went out of the district, what was to become of the roads, especially in the banky and hilly districts, when the watercourses got tlled up and there was no one to open them. The water could do more damage in one day than all the traffic in twelve months. Air. George Spencer: The men have alwa\S been available. Air. Baynam Yes, but if we give them three months they will go straight away and we shall have no hold on them. The Surveyor said there were some roadmen who were anxious to get away, but, on the whole, the arrangement had worked very smoothly in the past. Air. Alfred Edwards proposed that they give the men two mouths off the roads, instead of six weeks. still al l ow Air. Chas. Thomas And still allow them the privilege of taking the weeks off when they like Air. Edwards Yes. It was decided that the men should take two months off up to the end of September; and that if any of them wanted a longer time off they could arrange with the Surveyor. The Rate. With regard to the rate, the Chairman said it was thought that they should have a 5d rate this half-year, so that they could get out as much stone as possible, and they would be aide to reduce it for the second half-year. Mr. Baynam proposed, Air. Spencer seconded, and it was carried, that a rate of 3D. in the L be levied. Read Rolling. The Surveyor reported that the weather during the month had been more favourable for road roliin;, and, as the season's work was ¡ drawing to a close, he i)roposed to stop one roller in the course of the week. No. i roller had worked during the month from Llanvihangel Crucorney to Grosmont, and also on the Pen- biddle-laue and Penvparc roads, and was now at Llanthony. No. 2 roller had workd at Pwlldu, Upper Llanellen road, small portions of Govilon, Llanfoist, and Forest Coalpit and Llaugattock Lingoed, and was now at 1,1 an vetherine. The drain which the Council decided to lay in conjunction with the County Council at the top of the Old Hereford road had been satisfactorily completed.
ICHILDREN KIDNAPPED.
I CHILDREN KIDNAPPED. I LIVELY HEREFORD STORY OF DOUBLE ABDUCTSON. AN exciting sequel to a family feud wa- heard at i-iereford when Cecil Blake, a lieutenant in the R.H.A.. of Brook Lodge, Chester Robert Russell, an aeroplane manufacturer, of Wilmslow, and Madge Brandon, of Chorlton-on-Medloek (30), a widow, were charged with aiding and abetting in kidnapping two children from the custody of their father, Roger Williams, of Dinedor Court Farm, near Hereford. The evidence was that there had been differ- ences at the farm because Mrs. Williams invited Blake to stay there whilst her husband was attending to a chemist's business at Aberga- venny. The wife went to Llandudno with the children, aged ten and seven, and subsequently to Tarvin, a village near Chester, where she was living at the address of the lieutenant. Ou April 29 Air. Williams motored there, and in his wife's absence recovered possession of the children. Airs. Williams, who declared in Court that she felt like a bear robbed of its whelp," appears to have suggested that defendants should go down to Hereford with a car and bring the children. This they consented to do, and. after the exchange of lots of bad language with the father and also some blows, they got the children away. Blake's version was that he warned Williams and his man not to attack him or he would use a. revolver, and Russell, who said he took no part in the row except' to point a pistol at the men and render moral support" to Blake, cor- roborated. Defendants and Mrs. Williams produced a. water pistol, which they said was a gift for the boy, as the weapon used, but several witnesses for the prosecution swore this was not it, and Williams stated it was much longer in the barrel. Blake, lie said, levelled a revolver at him as he boarded the car. He followed in a trap, but had to give up the chase. I Madge Brandon was discharged, and Blake and Paissett were committed to the Assizes, bail I in 1)00 each being allowed. < —<&.
