Arising out of the dieenm.,ion at the last I meeting of the Chamber on the question of the delay in the delivery of letters at l Swansea, the president announced that I the Postmaster had been communicated with, and had replied ttiat the delays were due to the late arrival of the trains, and had promised his personal attention j to the matHSr. I NEW VICE-PRESIDENTS.

I XMAS MARKETS. I I 0 I Swansea to be Open on I Saturday till Four. I Councillor David Grey presided over the Swansea Markets Committee at their special meeting on Wednesday afternoon, when the question of the Christmas markets (which had been re- ferred from the Council) was reported upon by the Manager (Mr. J. W. Da vies). The minute before the Coun- i cil was to the effect that the closing time on Monday, 22nd, be extended to 9 p.m., Tuesday, 2:3rd, 10 p.m., and that the Market be opened on Friday, and closed on Saturday. SATURDAY'S MARKET. I The Manager said that 16 generalI stallholders (butchers, produce stalls, etc.) were in favour of opening on the Friday and closing Saturday, and 56 in favour of closing for the two days. 1 The figures among the non-perishable goods stallholders were 8 and 9 respec- tively. Mr. Ball thought it was only a ques- tion of public service, and it meant that I everybody would ha va to get in enough II' supplies on the Wednesday to last over a very long week-end. It was decided that on Thursday and Friday the Market should be closed, and ¡ the discussion centred on whether or not it should be closed on Saturday. I It was eventually decided to open the Market on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 n.m. .en BANK HOLIDAYS IN FUTURE. I The Chairman said that it was the general feeling that in future the Market I should be closed on Bank Holidays. On the proposition of Mr. Harry Thomas, seconded by Mr. Ball, it was decided to close the Market on all Bank I Holidays in future.

MOTOR & CYCLING NOTES. POST SHOW REFLECTIONS. I Now that the annual show is over, it is passible to summaries the position for next year. From enquiries I have ma do, thero is nndoubtedly groins to be a great output of oycles in 1320. The Raleigh Company will easily head the list with 100,000 machines, but many other firms are promis- ing outputa of from 20,COO to 40,000. But there 16 such a shortage of bicycles that all these will be absorbed until the summer is far gone. There may be machine* to spare next autumn, put not before. The w.J.s.e. cyclist will drop in and see his local agent now, get horder on the books, with a fixed date for delivery. It ie not a. good plan to let the best months 01 summer slig by waiting for a bicycle So far as prices are concerned nothing will be lost, for there will be no fall in prices next year. 1921 may see re- ductions in bicyoles as well as other things, but for 1920 my readers can rely on & con- tinua-noe of the present figures. THE REAR-LIGHT COMMITTEE. I Strfenuous efforts are being made to saddle cycliste with rear lights for ever, and unless we axe watchful the scorching motorist will have his way. The committee appointed to consider the matter consists of twelve motorists and one representative of i,-yeling-one can easily imagine what decision it will arrive at unless the cycling case is strongly represented. The very best thing for every cyclist to do is to write to his local Member of Parliament protesting; against the continuance øi this injustice, endured as a war measure, unendurable in peace. It is simply a measure intended to I allow motorists to career along the roads reckless of ell consequences at night. Ie that a desirable thing to look forward to? AT OLYMPIA. The Cycle and Motor-Oycle BhftW which wa.s held Ot Olympic last week proved a gre&t success, anq. while the noumber of people who attended was not so large as was the case at the recent Motor Show the pla/ce, at times, was uncomfortably crowded. Many of the makers were inun- dated with orders, sufficient to keep them hard at it for twelve months to come. This is the great problem that the manufacturers are called upon to face, and they must strain every nerve ta effect its solution. Some of them I talked with realised this to the, full, and great indeed a.re some of their plazze for future development. Every kind of motor cycle was exhibited, ranging in price from about Y,40 to £200. SOME OF THE EXHIBITS. t One <A the aMhcMnea which created the greatest amount of interest WM Ute 5-6 h.p. Holcigh, a new-comer, it is true, but by no rncat18 an infant prodigy rushed into being within the last few months. It ia a beauti- ful machine, with cylinder dimensions of 77 by í.5 m.m., giving very neariy 700 c.c. It weighs 2W lbs., and i5 suitable both for solo and sidecar work. Four B.S.A.'e were shown, two of them of 41 h.p. and one the new 6-7 h p. twin. The new model contains many interesting and valuable features, which should ensure for it a groat future. .Uessrs. A lid ays and Onions, Ltd., show a vepr fine two-stroke Allon, with a three- I pert single cylinder Alklays engine of 70 by 76 bore and stroke. It is fitted with a kick staler CJ)d a handle-car controlled cluteli- a feature which should appeal greatly to the beginner and the lady rider. A good range of Clincher tyres wore shown, suit- I able for all classes of I SELF STARTERS-A CAUTION. A majority of motorists appear to imagine that when once they have had a. eeji- ¡ starter fitted to their car they will be stole to start up with perfect ease at all t.imea and in all weathers. This is far from the truth, eince in cold weather with the petrol which is supplied to us now-a-days, no self-starter which has ever been in- vented is capable of always performing tlia work. The function of a self-starter ia to turn the engine over, and unless the firing mixture is correct in its proportions the engine will fail to even give a kick. Unla 3 I the engine fires at the iiret or aeoon" rcvolu- t tion, a very great strain is im])OiÐed'l!)()n the •aceumulator—a strain which may result in I damage. Proper vapourisation of the íurl is of importance, since without it evcryj self-starter is impotent. I MASS PRODUCTION OF CARS.. Judging from the report of a meeting which was held in London a short while ago there appears to be a possibility that I a company may be formed with & oapital I of something like X10,000,000 for the purpose lof the mass production of mot?r?cxrs. It ie suggested that some 160,000 ca.ra could be produced annually, and these would be eold complete for £ 235. It ia certainly an ambi- tious scheme, but to be successful the dual organisation of construction and distribu- tion will hare to be very oarefully thought out. The slightest flaw in either direction would entail an enormous loss, in that the company would be .working on such a huge scale.

INCREASE GRANTED, i Carmarthen Teachers Get Their Demands. Carmarthen Borough Education Com- mittee on Wednesday, the Rev. D. J. Thomas presiding, further considered the application of the borough teachers; to be placed on the scale of salaries as if it had been in operation when the teachers became qualified, and that the increases should be retrospective to; April 1st. The Rev. W. D. Rowlands j said some of the teachers had a sad story to tell the sub-committee at a recent in- terview. One oI: the oldest school- masters in the town, who was in charge of one of the largest schools, statfed that it would have paid him if he bad applied ■ for a small country school three or four miles outside the town, and that on the salary paid to him by that oommittee be J could not make tyo ends meet. That s I was not a credit to any committee. [ Ald. J. B. Arthur agreed it was un- — ;— n 4 reasonable to expect teachers in Car- I; marthen to work at a less salary than was paid in small country schools, and he was not against paying them a really good salary, but lie would hke the borough teachers to appreciate the position of the committee, who had to stand be- tween them and the ratepayers. It was explained that the teachers' de- mand would mean a total of about ( £ 1,500 a year, threerfifths of which would come from the Treasury, and £ 600 from the rates. For the. prewnt t year there was money in hand to n?et v 1 it. ( 1 | The Chairman said next year it would ) mean at least a 4d. rate, in sdditMs to the rate of 5d. made recently on account 1 of teachers' increased salaries. j In proposing that the teachers? de- mands be granted, the Rev. W. D. Row- lands said the martyrs were not only in the manse, but in the schoolhouse. Aid. L. D. Thomas, seconding, said t that compared with other towns, the com mittepvliad been very backward m- deed.. i The p oposai to grant the teachers* ™ demands was then carried unanimously.:
