Abergavenny Rural Council. I F I Housing Question TO:B: Considered. I FOOD COMMITTEE UNCOMSTJTUTIOHAL. t The monthiyjFmeeting of Abergavenny Rural District Council W- t:.dd on Tuesday, Mr. Robert Johnson presiding There were also present Mr. E. W. Lewis (v*. e- jii airman), Rev. D. F. Walters, Messrs. Chas. Thomas, F. O. Price, Roger Morgan, John Lewis, David Ed- wards, John Baynam. Matthew j. Knight, Thos. Thomas, Alfred J. Edwards. Wm. Biggs, R. J. Nott and W. L. Dodd.&.sfefct^^rMrft h-j \r The Laie Mr.1Scar.3on. 1 I The Chairman referred to the very sudden aim ( bad death of the late Clerk, Mr W. H. P. Scanlon, and said that the Council had sustained a vety serious loss. Mr. Scanlon wJ ->• very alert in his business, and he was afraid that they would í have great difficulty in finding a successor to fill his position. They had plenty of applicants, but it would not be easy to get io good a clerk. He proposed that a vote of sympathy be sent to the relatives. >•- g. ft. ^1 The vote was carried in silence. 1. i:.1 Rural Housing Changed Attitude. I Arisiug out ot the minutes, which stated that at their last meeting the Council had decided to take no action in the matter oi housing, Mr. Baynam ::iid that he had had several applica- tions for house. and asked what the Council were going to do about the matter. The Chairman Up to nov. we have done nothing, but I think we shall have to. Mr. Knight It is a big question when we take all the parishes hi. and we almost want a special meeting for it. The Chainnu.; We could have a special meeting a month to-day. We should be in a better position then. Mr. Roger Morgan said that there were six empty houses in the parish of Llanvair Kil- geddin, and they need not trouble about .building any more in that parish. Mr. Knight said that there were two empty houses in his parish (Llanthony). Mr. F. O. Price said'that under the reconstruc- tion scheme the old hovels would have to be pulled down and the sanitary arrangements would have to be improved. The Chairman said that it was perhaps for chis reason that some of the houses were empty. Mr. Price said that Mr. Forestier-Walker said at his meetinc at Raslan that if the urban and rural councils did not take this matter up the County Council would do so and spend the money, and he (Mr. Price) thought it was better for that Council to do it rather than leave it to the County Council. Mr. Knight s4 that it was a matter they could not decide at that meeting. A letter was read at this juncture from the Health and Housing Committee of the County Council stating that the War Agricultural Com- mittee were considering the need for the pro- vision of house; in the rural areas and asking for a copy of the report or scheme in the Aber- gavenny area. They asked if there was pro- vision in the scheme for earmarking certain houses for agricultural labourers resident in the area and also for those who were working outside the area. and also whether it was proposed to build single houses or to build them in detach- ments of two or four. The Chairman suggested that they might send » a reply that the matter was under consideration, but under the circumstances they had deferred it for a month. Mr. Dav-id Edwards said that there were houses empty at Llanviha-ngel. The Chairman s suggestion was adopted. Food Committee and Labour Representation. < A letter was read from the Divisional Food Commissioner pointing out that the Rural Food Control Committee was unconstitutional, inas- much as there were seven farmers on it, whereas they were not entitled to more than three except with the special leave of the Commissioner, and they had only one representative of labour, who ws not nominated by any organised body of labour. Having ribgard to the fact that the district was purely agricultural, the Com- missioner would be prepared to allow the com- mittee to remain as it stood with the exception that two in or 3 members properly representative of labour were substituted. The representation ot labour Wi1 a matter which was insisted on by ) the Order, and the constitution of the com- mittee ought to have been completed by the i.:th inat. In another letter it was pointed out that SPthat the committee was not legally I demstituted any acts done i>y titem would probably be held to be ultra vires. The Chairman Where are the labour rueti ? Mr. Knight said that he was not representing the farmers. He claimed that he was represent- ing labour. Members pointed out that Mr. Knight was not nominated by any organised body of labour. The Rev. D. F. Walters said that Mr. Gwillim was a labour representative, as he was represent- ing the miners on the Council and was paid by them to attend the meetings. The Surveyor said that there were railwaymen in the district, particularly at Llanfoist and the Mardy. It was decided that the railwaymen should be t £ ;ked to nominate two representatives. ) Land Needing Reclamation. I A letter was read trom the War Agricultural Committee, together with a circular from the Board of Agriculture, asking for particulars and areas of land exceeding 25 acres which were water-logged or uncultivated, including common iaads, which could be reclaimed by soldier j labour. j The Chairman Does anyone know of any hnd of that description ? I do'n't-, kr-ow of any myself. Mr. Roger Morgan said that there was one [ farm in the parish of Llanvair Kilgeddin where there was not an acre ploughed, and it was good, sound, dry land. Mr. Knight It is the reclamation of waste j laud. • Mr. Price It has nothing to do with the cultivation of good land. j The Chairman said that he did not know of any common laud of that extent. Mr. Knight I don't know of any, unless yon nke the Black Mountains, and then you would have something to go on with. It was decided to reply that there was no land of the kind in the district. Surveyor's Application for Increase. I The Surveyor (Mr. A. J. Willcox) applied for an increase on his present bonus of £ 10 per annum, pointing out That he had not applied for art increase of salary lince 1911. The main- tenance of his motor-bicycle and the purchase of petrol cost more than the £ 30 per annum allowed him by the Council, and lie now had to buy another machine which would cost him from I75 to £ 100. He pointed out that under the scale. for civil servants sanctioned by the Local Government Boar A for application to officers of local Councils, he would be entitled to about 29s. per week bonus. The Highways Clerk (Mr. Farquhar) read particulars as to increases granted to the sur- veyors of neighbouring councils, but Mr. Ed- v»ards objected to an turban district being taken as a comparison. He wanted to know how many miles. could be travelled on a gallon of petrol, and contended that according to what they paid the Surveyor as an allowance he would hive to travel 40 miles a day for 300 days in the year, or 12,000 miles in alt. Mr. John Lewis and Mr. Price said that the allowance was not altogether for petrol, but was partly for the upkeep of the bicycle. Mr. Edwards and others said that the toads aid not need looking after so much when .the men were working on the farms. The Rev. D. F. Walters said that the frasis on which Mr. Willcox made the application was the increase in the cost of living. He did not think they could discuss his salary at all, whether it was £ 177 or whatever it was. What they had to decide was whether they were prepared to give tiim an increase in war bonus to meet the extra cost of living. They had given war bonrises to the men, and was it not right to treat their owcers in tke same way ? They considered the I case of the officers of the Board of Guardians on the basis of the Local Government Board cir- cular, and they gave a higher increase according to whether they, were full time officers or not. Mr. Alfred Edwards We are not dealing with the Board of Guardi:ftis' business. The Rev. D. F. Walters I am in order, and I am entitled to point out the basis on which we decided the bonus. According to the Local Government Board circular you should give Mr. WiHcox 29S. per week, and I move that he be given another increase of ijo per year. Mr. Thos. Thomas seconded. Mr. Baynam proposed an amendment that they give a further increase of £ 10, and this was seconded by Mr. Alfred Edwards. Mr. Roger Morgan said that a man wno naa so many miles of roads to look after as Mr. Will- cox had should be paid t200 a year at any rate, j Mr. F. O. Price said that he thought Mr. Willcox had too much work to do to get over the roads properly. On the amendrhent being put to the vote there voted Messrs. Price, Baynam, Alfred Edwards, D Edwards, John Lewis, the Chairman, and W. Biggs. One or two meftibers claimed that Mr. Chas. Thomas "had held up his hand for the amendment, but he said that he did not do so, as he was in favour of making the increase £ 20. However, the voting was declared to be-nine for the amendment, which was therefore ruled to be carried without further voting. Mr. Chas. Thomas said he thought that the amendment should become the substantive motion and further amendments could be made to it, but the Chairman ruled that this was not in order. Mr. Willcox, who had been out of the room, was then called in and informed of the decision, upon which he asked if there was any reason why he should be treated differAitly to the Guardians' officers. To put him on the same footing as he was in pre-war days they should double his salary. He had done his level best for the Council, and he did not think that the £IQ was an adequate increase. A good deal of further discussion ensued, and Mr. Willcox was asked to leave the room again. The members talked about the matter for some time, but though it was pointed out by Mr. Roger Morgan that the amendment had not been properly carried, as only half the members present had voted for it, no further vote was taken, Mr. Alfred Edwafds proposing that they proceed with the next business. One or two members remarked that they had nothing against Mr. Willcox and agreed that he was an excellent officer. Temporary Clerk. I Mr. J. H. Farquhar raised the question of the appointment of clerk, and it was decided to appoint him as temporary clerk for sanitary purposes and supt. registrar until a permanent appointment was made. Footbridge at LJanvair. I Sir. Roger Morgan drew attention to the dangerous coqdition of a footbridge leading from Llanvair to Goytre and crossing the brook dividing the two parishes. Prevoiusly the bridge was kept in order by the owners of the property, but now-the property had changed hands. The Surveyor was directed to attend to the matter. ———— ♦
Abergavenny Christmas Stock…
Abergavenny Christmas Stock Market I The Christmas grading market at Aberga- venny was held on Tuesday, when there were 104 cattle, the greater percentage of which were of excellent quality. Of these 84 were sold by Messrs. Straker, Son & Chadwick, and included a wonderful bunch of 20 bullocks from Mr. John Morgan, Llangattock, all of which were super- graded. The sheep supply was shorter, 501 sheep being graded. The porker and bacon pigs allocated numbered 64, and there were 21 calves, but there was very little demand for slaughter calves, as the butchers were unable to keep them till next week. There will be no market next week, the supply on Tuesday having to last for two weeks. A

IREMARKS ONE HEARS
I REMARKS ONE HEARS SCRAPS OF ABERGAVENNY CONVERSATIOW. A little htimour, now and then. Is relished by the wisest men. Who do you think will get in ? Well, I've been making careful calculations' and making allowance for everything and taking into account the uncertainty as to the attitude of the ladies- Yes, yes. Yes, be in a hurry. I think that, taking Don't those things into account and considering the weather and remembering that there might be spoilt ballot papers and in fact making due allowance for every possible -contingency- Oh, come to the end of your tether I Well, to put it briefly, I think the man who'll get in is the one who'se got the most votes." You don't say Of course you never can tell, but if you think different I'm ready to bet you three to one on it." No, I don't want to impose on your generosity. # There wasn't much colour about on Satur- day, was there ? I No, and you can't always tell by that how people are going to vote." You don't mean to say that people put the colour on for mere camouflage ? I don't know that fellow camouflage. I don't think he was standing as a candidate, was he ? 1; Don't be absurd. There was a bit of camouflage about it, but that was not the name ai-either of the candidates. What I was asking you waa, don't you think the colour that people sported was genuine ? Oh, I don't say it wasn't perfectly genuine." Then how do you mean that it didn't show how people were going to vote ? Well, I saw some people with red noses and some witt blue noses, but I wouldn't like to swear that that showed the way they were going to vote. In fact I think some of them never voted at all." Oh, well, there's no reliance on some people's noses. Hullo got over the excitement ? What excitement ? Why, election day, of course. Excitement be blowed. It was as tame as our old cat. I never saw a funeral so slow and unexciting. And some people wanted to shut the pubs. because they were afraid we'd get a drop too much and become over-excited." Ai, so they did, but then they've never tasted our harmless war beer. I believe, though, there were one or two people excited about it." Indeed! I never saw them, then. What could they find to be excited about ? Well, there was one distressed woman who had intended doing wonders with her vote, and when she went to see about it she found that she hadn't got a vote after all." o Was she under 30, then ? Strange to say, she didn't make that claim, but she hadn't qualified herself by residence. I suppose she went.to see the Mayor about it. You know the Mayor can do a good many things, but he couldn't give the lady A vote. That was one above him." And she didn't like it ? like it ? I should say not. She couldn't put the cross on the ballot-papgr, so she put a cross look on her face, and she made it plain that she didn't nurse her grievance to herself." "I wonder if you've given me a clue to her identity." I Well, if you're very smart you'll see whether I have." While I'm guessing, tell me about the other excitement." If you must know it all, there was a man who was in a terrible rage because they'd 'left him off the register and put his wife on." What a pleasant domestic episode! Yes, wasn't it ? I suppose the wife enjoyed the situation, but the husband felt like a Bolshevik, especially seeing that he had to pay the rent and rates." Well, it isn't nice-to have the missus crowing over one, is it ? Indeed it isn't. What made it worse was that people who have been dead quite a long time had a vote, if they could only have used it, and here was a real live, energetic man who wasn't allowed to put a little cross on a bit of paper." Were there any other people excited ? ",Well, there were a good many men upset because their wives'- names were put first on the register." Oh, that's too bad. As if the womeu didn't find enough excuse to claim that they are the boss of the household, without this, Well, that's what comes of women's rights." "jt seems us men will have to take a back seat; if we don't look out. That's a fact. Next time my. wife asks me to get up in the morning to light the fire I'll say to her, quite polite, Ladies first.' "I say, how did your wife like having the vote-? Oh, she seemed pretty keen on it;" Who did she vote for ? She didn't tell me, but I think she voted for that Martineau chap." What made her do that ?" I think it was because he.,said something about having a telephone in every house." "Oh the "telephone as they said in Playgoers at the Town Hall the other week. ? That's what I say. If she gets her telephone I'm going abroad." ;• II: I suppose, now the war's over, they'll soon be closing some of the hospitals." Oh, we're still gping to have the hospital for cripples at Abfergavenny. That's a per- manency. What hospital for cripples ? You don't mean Maindiff ? no. Well, I don't know of any other. "What! Have you forgotten Mr. Hanliy's umbrella hospital, in High-street ? No, I haven't forgotten it. He did my old gamp up so nicely that the police thought I'd pinched it new out of a shop." I had a shock this week." How dM that happen ? -11 I thought the war had started again- You mean you dreamt it." No, I thought it." How could you think it ? Well, you know, people said that the guns firing in France were responsible for all the wet weather we had ? Yes." Well, we haven't half had it wet and rough this week, have we ? That's a fact. It's only another of the many fancies which have been disproved." Well, after all, I'd rather have the wet than the war." I wouldn't mir.d, myself, if it was rationed the same as everything else."

IABERGAVENNY POLICE COURT.
I ABERGAVENNY POLICE COURT. I Wednesday—Before Major Sanford (in the chair), Col. W. William?, Mr. Edwin Foster, and Mr. Gower Andrews. I A Lion Street Incident. Annie Jenkins, married woman, 10 Lion-street, summoned Alice Jones, married woman, a neighbour, for assault, and defendant cross- summoned complainant for assault. Complainant stated that on the "morning of the i ith she was in the back kitchen washing up the things. Defendant, who lived next door to her, was cleaning out the gutter, and she threw the dirt on witness's side. Witness told her that she was not to put the dirt and stones there or they would fall over it. whereupon defendant hit her with a shovel in the face, cutting her left "cheek and lower lip. Witness did not strike her back, but went straight to the Police Station and afterwards saw a doctor. Her mouth was quite sore and her teeth were knocked against her lips. Witness was in danger of her life. She had not quarrelled with defendant, but had done all she could to help her. 1 Defendant: Didn't you hit me in the mouth with a dish-cloth ?—I can conscientiously say I did not. Defendant I hit you in the mouth with my hand, and the ring on my finger cut you. You are a member of a chapel, and I am not, and you are on your oath. Defendant made a number of assertions in cross-examination, which complainant stoutly denied. Defendant said that she asked her son to open the gutter, and he had the shovel in his hand. Complainant said to her, Big as you are, I am a match for you." Witness replied that com- plainant's husband put the stones, etc., there and she was only putting them back where they came from. Defendant then hit her in the mouth with the dirty dish-cloth and witness hit her back with her hand, and it was the ring which cut her. I James Bartlett, collier, of Ebbw Vale, and son of the defendant, corroborated his mother's story. P.-Sergt. Pros6er said -that complainant came to the Police Station and complained that de- fendant had struck dier. She had a triangular cut three inches by two inches on her cheek, and the inside of her mouth was cut. &v mm I By the Chairman The cut could not have been caused by a ring, but must have been done by a square instrument. Defendant handed the ring up to the Bench and said that it was very sharp and would cut anyone. The Bench having decided to convict, Supt. Davies said that there were constant, complaints about the defendant. She was always quarrel- ling and could not agree with, anyone. She was a nuisance to the neighbourhood. The Bench imposed a fine of £ 1 and costs and bound defendant over in the sum of £ 10 to keep the peace for six months. The cross-summons was dismissed. Farmer's Cruelty to a Dog. I Cartwright Maddocks, farmer, of Parc-lettice, Hardwick, was summoned for cruelty to a dog by neglecting it and leaving it to stray, between the 3rd and the 9th of December. He pleaded not guilty.- P.-sergt. Spendlove -said that some days ptKtfy to the 3rd he saw the dog about the town. On the 3rd he saw the defendant and told him that the dog was in the street and had been there some days, atrd he told him to take it home. Defendant made-no attempt to take the dog kome. The only thing he did was to tell a rag and bone collector that if he saw the dog he was to have it destroyed. It was a very old dog, had no teeth at all, and .as absolutely starving. On the 9th witness seized the dog and took it to Mr. Blackwell, the veterinary surgeon, 'who ex- amined it and gave a certificate that it was unfit to live, because of its emaciated couditio4, and the dog was destroyed* W. G. Blackwell, veterinary surgeon, said that he had seen the dog about the town several days before he examined it, and he had nearly driven I over it. It was an old sheep dog, really a fossil of a dog, and it had no teeth. Defendant said that he asked ev^yone about the dog and hunted everywhere. He came to town two or three times, but could not find it. The Chairman said- that defendant would' be fined L5. Defendant What for ? { The Chairman Cruelty to a dog. Defendant I didn't do no cruelty to the dog., No such thing.
