Evans (ftcrk to the Council) ex- plained in detail the provisions of the Act. He expressed the opinion that it would have been better if the Government had tackled the big companies. A company made ;t profit of two or three million pounds and p,i;<i t dividend of 10 or 15 per cent, and camouflaged the dividend by bonuses. The large companies were the culprits. The Government should allow local committees (who had the necessary knowledge of local conditions) to fix the maximum prices. The following were appointed the sub-com- mittee under the Act :—Nnrse Williams, Nurse Welch, Mr II. It. Morris. Mr John Ro- berts, Mr W. Thomas and Mr C. J. Mc- Cormaek. Mr W. Thomas referred to the absence from the Act of any reference to the question of dealing with the sale of houses. He w.; of opinion that this was a matter which should certainlr coml within the [towers of the Act. To sell a hÜH0 for £ 600, which should not be worth more than £ 300, was certainly profit- eering. He moved that the attention of the Board of Tr,)xi(, lw. to the matter with a view to provision being made to deal with it under the Act. Seconded by Mr John Owen, the proposal. was carried.
