MOUNTAIN ASH LOCAL BOARD. The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the abovo Board was heldiu the board-room, Workman's Hall, on Monday, when the -following were pre- sent — VIessrs. D. Morgan (.chairman), I. Yeo, D. Davies. W. Bevan, \V. Morgan, J. Griffiths, D. Coleman, T. Edwards, J. C. N. Gray, D. Thomas, and W. Little. The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. THE PROPOSED NEW ROAD TO PENRHIWCEIBR, Referring to Mr. W. R. Smith's interview with the Board at their last meeting, the ( lerk II stated that he had noflieard from Mr Smith yet on the subject of the resolution passed .by the Boaid, therefore nothing more could be said at present. A letter had been received from Messrs Simons and Plews, 011 behalf of Messrs. Nixon, Taylor, and Cory, stating .that .they should oppose the new road and object to any money of the Hoard being contributed towards its construction. The Chairman Can they tell us they won't pay the rates ? The Clerk They don't tell us that. Till an answer to the communication to the Ponrniw- j c-dbr Company is received the matter must .how- ever stand over. The Clei'k also read a letter from Mr Thomas Williams, deputy coroner, referring to an inquest on the-body of Thomas Hursley, who lost his life in .crossing the railway near Penrhiwceibr, in which.the .jury had requested him to com- muhicaito with the Local Board, drawing their attention to the defective state of-the road in the above neighbourhood, i The Chairman A very sensible letter. NEW HATE. The Clerk: The rate is the next thing. This is-the rate of 81 in tho pouud made in con- formity with your .instructions. (New rate book .produced.) •! The Chairman proposed, and Mr D. Coleman seccttded, that tne rate be adopted aL\d sealed with the seal of the Board. r This was agreed to. PRIVATE IMPROVEMENT EXPENSES. Mi-s llopkins, a widow, waited upon the Board in reference to a claim made upon her -for private improvements near her property, bhe said she coiud not pay as the times were to) bad. The Clerk said toe demand made upou her amounted to £ 15 os"b|d. T4v5._ Chiurmaii said Lord Aberdare was interested 111 the adjoining-property and he had consented to pay £ 4 lis 8,^d provided M.rs. Hopkins paid the reuiaiudor. Mrs, i;qj)kfns she owned two cottages* She got 13S per month from one, and lived ill the other that was all she had to live upon. T'he Chan-tnan remarked that the property was not heavily incumbered, and she might raise a little more money upon them. Mr. Hopkins having retired, the Board, after a brief disscusion, agreed to accept payment by instalments of -10s per month, on her signing an agreement to that effect, otherwise that she be summoned for her proportion. surveyor's REio-glf. The following was read — To t ie Ch'iifman and Members of the Mountain Ash Local Hoard. Ccntlemcn,—ln my last report I made a short statement iu reference to the complaints of the water ill Darran Las and promised to report, fully thereon I find-the c'anaee of complaints arises from the following:- 1st The water is turned.,off from that district to feed the boilers in the yard. 2nd. i he filter bedsaro-in bad working order. 3rd. The pipes are corroded iu this distritt, and thereby .prevents the full quantity of water'. As to the first I am told that, Mr Gray has given instructions that the water must not on any account BE turned otf for the HSO of-the works. The filter beds are new .undor repair, and I would recommend you to ask't.le coipipany to relay the fnaiu water pipe in High-street, and the Branches of Rock and Cardiff-streets. I reported fully upon the fall and force-of water at stated points soiiio 2 years ago, those streets have the lowest pressure of any ;int iu the town, btit in case of the above being remedied, I have no fear whatever, but that sufficient force will be found to extinguish a fire at any of the above streets. Lha,ve seen Mr Bell since the last meeting, and he states that if the Board carry out 'the work required at the top of Allen-Street that the company-is prepared to'pay 'their proportion of the cost. lie objects of the. company carrying out the work as he feaye they may have a diffi- culty in getting paid for the portion belonging to the other owners. ram pteastJd thIS matter is now settled. I would recommend that you give the Surveyor instructions to get in tenders subject to the plan and specification, approved of by your board, and lay the -tenders before you at the next meeting. I bog to draw your attention to my report upon the.,parapet wall and channelling required in Allen-street, which was deferred in conse- quence of my absence. fbeg to lay before you aJ'lan and Estimate of the proposed road from the "viiskin to Penrinw- ceibr Colli«k'y. As you will see by the plan and Gross sections, I have taken great trouble in levelling two longitudinal sections and 13 cross sections off each base. I propose 'two gradients only, the first one in 155 and the second ouctin 105. I have endeavoured as far as practica'ole to get the filling to counterbalance the cutting, but in consequence of Major Vaughin Lee keep- ijig the road up to his boundry (low) it will increase the cost of this portion. Major Vaug-han Lee proposes carrying the road 30 feet to the end. of his boundry. I do not think it advisable to continue, that width. You will see by the plan I proposes 20 feet road from the Miskin to that point. I propose connecting it with Qlyn Gwyn-street as well as the main road. I find notice was served Upon Mr T\ Charles, of Ty'r Arlwyad, August 30th, 1878, to erect a closet, the notice has been complied with, but he has not deposited a plan. I would recom- mend tliatthe clerk write and ask, Mr Charles to forward a plan by the next board fheeting. ni 1'ecoihmeud that notices bo postbd in Clip and Stream streets declaring the said streets to be completed to the satisfaction of the Board, and that the same be declared to bfefcoirie public highways. i ho footpath at St. Margaret's Church is com- pleted to my satisfaction. <:> I beg to lay before you a plan showing a Closet which I consented to bti erected at the back of the Aberdare Hotel, as it is a great im- provement upon the old closet, which was in the cellar of the house. I -would recommend that it be passed. I beg to lay before you a plan showing a shop ana two Cottages to be erected by ivJ-r Hy. Sinitii at Penrhiwceibr. The plan neither shows pavement in froutoftfie premises nor dimensions. This is contrary to the bye laws.- 1 beg to remain, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JNo. HERBERT JENKINS. THF. WATER SUPBLY AT DARRAN-LA6. Referring to the Surveyor's report, Mr Gray stated that if the pipes were corroded and worn out he would see that new ones should be sub- stituted, PAHAPEj WALL IN ALLEN-STREET. The Chairman remarked that the intention was to erect a six-foqt parapet wall in the above street. Vi r Gray considered a wall of that description very dangerous as children would be getting on the top of it and might fall over. rhe caual was more dangerous than the brook. 0 Mr Yeo As Messrs Ni-xon have agreed to carry out the work on their side I think it only right we should do the rest. Mr Gray: Well only do our part as far as our property goes. The Chairman proposed that the wall near Ffrwd brook together with the kerb and channelling be carried out as soon as the funds would allow. This was agreed to. TENDERS FOR WORK IN CEMETERY-ROAD. The Chairman proposed that tenders be advertised tor, -to be in by next meeting, for carrying out the private improvements at the top of Cemetery-road according to-the plan and sections. This was agreed to. RoAD TO PENRHIWCEIBR. Mr T. Edwards thought the matter of the proposed road had better stand over till they heard something more about it. I The estimate of cost of the road was passed round to the members present. STREAM-STREET AND CLIEF-STREET. The Chairman proposed that notices be p isted up declaring the two streets above mentioned highways. This was seconded by Mr Yeo and agreed to. MR H. SMITH'S PLAN. The Chairrnan proposed that Mr R. Smith's plan be returned to him in order that the same be.rectified in accordance with the bye-laws of the Board. This was agreed to. INSPECTOR OF LODGING HOtfSES' REPORT. The following was read :— 0 Mountain Ash Police Station, 26th, May 1879. To the Chairman and Members of the Mountain Ash Local Soard. Gentlemen,—I beg to report, that I served a notice on Thomas Wall, 60 Phillip Street, Moun- tain Ash, to reduce the number of persons in the house from 15 to 9, Since I served the notice, I have visited the house and found the notice complied with. I also beg to report, that the 1st lamp on the foot path in the wood leading to Duifryn, has not been lit once, during the last fortnight.— I rema.m, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JAMES 'OHNS, Inspector of Loiging Houses. THE LAMP IN DUFFRYN-ROAD. '1 In answer to a question. Sergt. John's stated that there wns some defect in the lamp referred to in Duffrvn-ro id. The Chairman remarked that in that case the Board could riot expeciithe company to keep it lit. MliDXCAI. OFFICER'S SALARY. It was o-dered that the Clerk fill in the form applying to the L'bcal Government Board for JE20. being -half the salary due to the Medical Officer. FINANCE REPORT. The Finance Committeee's report was read and adopted. here was an overdraft on the bank of £ 130 9s 6d. Cheques amounting to I Y, -4 2 s (id were signed THE SCAVENGING CONTRACT. Mr D. Davies complained that the work of the scavenger and. road contractor was not properly attentod t., in the neighbourhood of the gratings were never cleaned and the scavenging cart did not come round. So loiv as the ;:oard paid for tho work he thought it should be done. Mc. T. Edwards said ttie grating his house also was net half looked-after. Tho Cnairmaii proposed that" the scavenger be requested to attend to his work .about viiskin, Mount Pleasant-terrace, and Napier-street, or that tho Surveyor fine him for negloet. .vir Gray suggested that the Board request him to attend to the scavenging generally. This was agreed to, and the proceedings then terminated.

LOCAL NOTES.
LOCAL NOTES. THE PROSECUTION OF THE BANK DIRECTORS. Of couise the leading topic of the week among the tradesmen of .the district is the proposed puoseeutien -of the directors of the West of England awl Seuth Wales Banking Co. Doubt- less the first sensation on hearing this startling item of news was on a of extreme regret-i-e t in the first place that the gentlemen with whom the major portion of ths financial business of the locality had been so long transacted should àa.vQ come to this at last, and secondly because this maist appear the inevitable end of such a collapse in which they were and are involved. It seems thatithe prima facie case against them rests chiefly with the newer shareholders. These maintain that had it not been for the flowery re- ports issued during the last year or two repre- senting the Bank as being in a most seciii'fa and •flourishing condition, they could never have 1?eati "led .to invest their money. It might be said at once in reply to this that the directors could not be responsible for every risk, and jitm-tjthe shareholders could not expect to realise handsome dividends without the nossit ie alter- native. Still on the other hand the hrtW point to the striking fact that the loans which were advanced to such concerns as Mr Fothovjyill's company were represented on the balance sheets as securities, whereas they allege it was well known that money out in that direction was anything but secure." They argue in fact- -that f^r stBie time before the actual suspension the bank wits iu a state of insolvency and worst of all that the directors were aware of this while at the same time they were issuing favourable reports. If the latter poict .M.u >3 clearly proved we pity the directors of the Bank. But this Jts the subject of the inquiry, and It is far bettor ->that the investigation should take place rather than that these tsrious and damaging charges should flout about the district un- answered and simply adding to the discontent and heart, burnings that already prevaiiei. Wo await the result with the profoundest interest, an interest too which we hope is not unfriendly, though one which we trust is not devoid ot the sinterest tlesire for common justice. The Bank through its directorate and its local manage- ments, has proved a good friend to many, and the very warmest-sympathy was felt wher, tho collapse was first ma £ e.known. But in a com- munity like ours, the elighest departure from the strictest financial -integrity cannot be tolerated. Moreover the dispensers of the law are determined that it shall not pass unpu lished, -and therefore while we may feel person ally for -those concerned in this unfortunate matter we also hope for their sakes that they may be cleared from imputation. THE COLLIERS DIFFICULTY. What are we to make of the two adverse meetings of miners, held in South Wales, la3t Muiiday ? The crowd which met on the Aber- .Q.é.I.l'e Mountain, seemed more, disposed to talk politics tbati Commercial economy, whvroaa the men who Met to the number of several thousa da at Pontypridd went In "-hplus bolus ".fa.r.the Barnsley suggestion of a general move for an advance in wages. There k-i-iou'ble-in store for the industries of this-country. On Tuesday the umpire in the South;. Yoikshire colliers' wages some portinent remarks in this respeot. For 6 months the masters and the moK;h«d. been squabbling over a reduction in wages^of 121 from the thick and 7i from the thin jseaci men, and now the masters are not awarded one peirrry. The grounds that the umpiro takes arc these: 1. Because it would be utterly impossible for the men to live on less receipts. II. Because the miners are not paid all things considered in anything like the same prssti'ftion with other workmen. And yet the Wëlsntniners receive less wages still 1 herefore there are all the elements of discord existing iu these valleys—either beggary on one side and a terrible strike on the other Which wiii it bo. ? A SAD MISTAKE. We are sorry that- a youug niftrefcC tha-din- telligent of education of George Jlowells tate junior. clerk to the Lletty ^henkin Colliery Co., should not have. ppoved inviolate in the moment of temptation. Jp the temporary ahsenced his-sai-perior he helped .himself from th$cash, bag and now his immediate prospects in life are blasted by a sentence, of two mouths iroprisoiwBient.

Thomas Phillips shone out well as the mew High Constable at the first, public meeting convened under his suzerainty. Of course at such a gathering as that which came together last Friday evening, he had little to do, for all were of one opinion. But his newly conferred honours-honours however which some fail to realise or even to believe in-sat well upon his shoulders, and we hope that before his year of his office be over he will have more important "aüd niore^seful work to do Some one irrever ently says that the arduous responsibilities of the office of High Constable could be adequately discharged by a broomstick. But we are in- clined to (liffer from this view, especially when we contemplate what a good, active public spirited head townsman" might accomplish if tie thought fit.

On Monday last, the 26th inst., the Annual Festival in connection with- the above union, was held. under favourable circumstances. Early in the morning the young and old people were seen in droves wending their way towards the Great Western Railway Station, at Aber- dare, to proceed to Mountain Ash, which place was reached at half-past 9.

MASS v.EEHNG ON ABERDARE MOUN.TAIN.
MASS v.EEHNG ON ABERDARE MOUN- TAIN. On Monday a meeting of colliers was held upon the Aberdare Mountain, for the purpose of discussing the desii-ability of approving or dis- approving of the decision come to at the Barnsley Conference, as to tne advisability of laying the whole of the mining community of Great Britain idle-for a -period ef four or six weeks. Mr David Morgan, Mountaiu Ash, was elected to preside. A Oonsidarable amount of discussion took place, durirlgwhich the various speakers convassed the action of the Governmeut^nd the causes of the present depression in trade. The first resolution proposed was to the effect that the meeting, after discussing the advisability or otherwise of stopping the production of coal in the United Kingdom for six wteks, was fully convinced that such a course would be de- trimental to the little trade they had at present, and, therefore, they were determined to resist it to the utmost of their power. An amendment was proposed that tho meeting should then come to no positive conclusion, but that me-tings should be held in Merthyr and Aberdare and that I delegates should be appointed to represent the views of the colliers oi' t'le district at the confer- ence about to be held at Birmingham. The! amendment, however, was rejected, and tho resolution was carried uiiararuousiy. It was I| further resolved That this meeting wishes to call the attention of the whole of the working men of the country to, and ascertain what is the cause of the present depression Or trade, and to do their utmost to remove euch cause, whatever it might be Ic was also resolved That the meeting was fully convinced that the warlike policy of the present Government had been the means of checking enterprise in speculation throughout the world, the result being the pre- Tailing distress and depression of trade, and therefore the meeting prayed for a dissolution of Parliament as soon as possible, so that the country might have the opportunity of selecting a new body of men to govern it." subsequently it was resolved That the meeting, anxious for a continuance of the good feeling between capital 'and labour in South Wales, urges that a delegate meeting should be held in Cardiff, at which all the collieries of South Wale-i and Monmonth- ■ehire should be represented, in order to discuss the present and future position of the coal -trade." The last resolution, which was una- nimously adopted, was to the effect that a con- ference should bo held at Merthyr, on a day to be fixed by the men's representatives on the Conciliation Board, to discuss the subject re- -ferrel to in tha last resolution, power being given to the representatives at the conierence to act to the best of their ability. During the proceedings the fallowing letter -wis read from Mr Thos. llaliiday Ashley's Hotel, Henrietta-street. Coyent Garden, London, M iy 23, 1$J9. Mr David Morgan.Dear Sir,—Ilearn fmm 'the paper that you have iiad a meeting of the men in Aberdare Valley against the scheme for six weeks' play. I was very pleased to learn that you were successful in persuadin* the men against sinli a mad course. I oxpecc.you will be as-sucee-sful on Monday next, at the meeting en the Merthyr Mountain. All being well, I inteud being at tho meeting myself, to lie-ten to what mav be said-in favour of "the scheme- ^cf "laying pits idle, ami T am sure very much can he said against the scheme. I have seen Mr. Macdonald to-day, and I find that he can- not lend himself to anv such foolish course. The meeting was of a very quiet and orderly nature, there being between 200 and 300 men present.
TEE WEST OF ENGLAND BANK PROSECUTION.---
TEE WEST OF ENGLAND BANK PRO- SECUTION. Great excitement was produced throughout the West of England by the announcement that the Treasury have determined to prosecute the directors of the West of England and. South Wales District Bank. Some time is expected to elapse before the trial comes on as the pre- liminary examination of the books and papers of the bank and of Messrs Booker will entail considerable labour. When this is completed the directors will bo "summened before the Bristol magistrates, the registered office, of the bank having been here. Should the magistrates commit the defendants they are expected to move for the removal of the trial to London because when one of the largest shareholders threatened a prosecution in December last a legal gentlemen was in Bristol trying to elieit information upon which to found an application for a writ of certiorari. The directors are well -known and highly respected. The chairman Hr. Murch, is a juticeof the peace of Bath, has been thrice mayor of that city, and was spoken of at the last general election as a Parliamentary candidate there. Mr. A-Uen is an independent gentlemen, residing at-Clifton, Bristol, and is the largest holder of shafes in the bank, between six and seven hundred stand- ing in his name. Air. Coates is a London barrister, with a residence at Clifton. Mi-. George Hare Leonard is one of the proprietors of the Easton Colliery, near Bristol, and is well known as a public man. He retired at the end of 1877, and sold all his shares, but he was a member of the board when the .report was published in Jantiaay, 1877. Captain Selwyn Payne was formerly connected with the bank. but on coming into a fortune and purchasing largely of the bank shares, was made a director. Mr. Gilbert was for many years general manager of tho bank, retiring from that position last summer to take ajsaat at the board, upon which occasion he Was presented with a handsome service of plate by the employes of the bank. Mr. Dester was at the same time pro- moted from assistant manager to general 'manager, and Mr. Picken, for some time manager of the Bristol branch of the London and South Western Bank, was appointed assistant manager. Mr. Cristopher Vhomas and Mr. Gardiner having joined the board so lately as November last. cannot of course ha ve had anything to do with the incriminated reports of January, If-77, and January, 1878 but M". Thomas was a member of the board for eight 01* nine years up to some ten years ago, and he knew at the time, as he explained to the meeting ef shareholders in December, that this Booker concern hart-been an old sore—an evil in- heritance—for very many years, adding that if the shareholders, who upbraided the .directors for not giving bigger dividends, had read between the lines of what he (Mr Thomas) Baid they would have seen that they had reasons for urging them to be content with a much smaller dividend. He only joined the board in November last on-the pl'Omise that the directors would pursue a different policy for the future. It is probable therefore, that the investigation of the Booker affair that the Rev. M r. George and Mr. Lucas sent in their resignations rather than sign a report recommending futh.r divi- dends but whether this had reference to the report issued in January, 1878, or to the notice recommending an ad interim dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. in June, 1878, a few months before the bank failed for jQver a millon, is not known though, as their resignation took place in the autumn of 1878, :their objection is more likely to have been to the last June dividend. Mr Lucas was manager of the Cardiff branch, through which Booker's works were supplied with money. It is report- ed also that another member of the board re- fused to sign tho last report, but he would not leave his colleagues when they Were in difficulties When Mr Leonard retired it was explained in the report that after ably, faithfully and efficiently serving the bank lor seventeen years, he found it necessary to retire in con- sequence of other engagements. The real ex- planation was it is now stated that ho refused to sign tho report for 1878. There was a report in jsristol to-night that one of the directors had committed suicide; but, as the name of a gentleman was given who was not on the Board at the time covered by the prosecution, thore is probably no truth in the rumour. It has transpired-that the initiative in the proceedings was taken -by a gentleman of Bristol, and a substantial yeoman in the neignbourhood, who a few years ago bought between 40 and 50 shares •■r.t the highest juice they ever reached. The Exeter Committee met on Saturday to consider the subject but-caine to no decision, agreeing to meet again. it is reported that the tacts to be brought out will be quite as damaging, though of course on a much smaller scale, as those dis- closed at tho Glasgow trial. The prosecution has been taken up on the ground pnblic policy and, if possible, to bring into operation the judicial decision iu a famous bank ease tried in the north of England.twenty years ago, when it was ruled the directors who knowingly issue fraudulent reports are liable pecuniarily for their misrepresentations to shareholders who bought upon the strength of.thosa reports.
IIRON AND COAL TRADE.
I IRON AND COAL TRADE. 'I (From the Mining W,),.1r1.1 The iron tralle cannot be said to have im- proved: since last report, although there is still I a little, more deing at one or two of--the local establishments for instance, at Sirhawy the blast has been turned 011 at one or two of t^e iurnacus. O14 the other hand, in consequence of the conduct of the colliers, the following notice has been posted at the Dowlais Works Owing to-tho strike of Colliers, it'has become necessary to stop a large portion of the worlt§, and, as the stoppage will probably, in tlie present dearth of orders, be permanent, noticais hereb}1, given that all existing contracts with the present employes in and about these works will cease and determine ina thonth." Thr6(?t>!f tho blast furnaces are b.eiug blown out already ;>ut the colliers have now go .e in at the masters' terms. The quautifcy of iron cleared during the last few days has been fairly large, the'principai shipments being-to Italy, Brazil, and Turkey. The demand*for railway iron has dwindled down almost to nothing; but. steel railfj are in moderately good request. B-trs are a little more active. Pig iron is materially unchanged. Newport last month shipped 3,474 tons of iron, agaiifjt 8,462 tohs in the corresponding month of the previous year; Cardiff,' 10,004, against I 9,979 tons and S wansea, nit, against 791 tons. i he tin-plate trade has not materially altered but it eseins to be rather more difficult to main- tain pr'esent prices. Jri the coal trade this week, several 'Strikes among the msn hJwe to be noted'. As above stated, the Dowlaie/men have given way, being told .they could suit their fcwu and if they did not like to work the it. The 10 per cent., reduction in wages is now also in force at Cyi'artha. In the Neath "Valley, a strike exists among a section of the colliers but many of them hava gone to work. Perhaps they can see that the present is "iw>t a time to strike," A meeting of delegates has been held of men of the Aberdaie Valley, Who disapproved of ttFe propo^fl'to simultaneously stop operations in the kingdom. fhe <oal trade generally during the last few days hasibeen more active, and shipments have been on the increase. This is n- doubt occasioned by the state of affairs in tho J:ùl'th to some extent. The .demand for steam coal has kept,gj)dd house are alan, pon- sideriug the season, ill remarkably good request. Pri&i art),rat-her firmer. In April last, Cardiff shipped the birge quantity of 369,{>87 tons of coal against 325,B.5S tops 111 the same month" of 187S: Newport, i 7,495 tons against &0,0814>us.; and Swansea, | 5o>4i2 against 58,135 tons. Coastwise clearances during the same periods Cardiff, 69,833anoainst 61,381 tons'; Newpbrt, 79,297 agaiiM 06,070 'tons Swansea, 52,424 against 19,214 tons aud Llanelly 12,264 against 9,176 tons. Swansea also cleared 9,920 tons of patent fr.ei compared with 7,058 tons, and Cardiff 19,318" against 1,979 tons. The bjdies of two more men have been recovered from the Dinas pit. Vir. i-Cra^hay's funeral took place last week; fifteen' ofhis oldest agonta were present. An example of how "colliery aeoi&euts occur was given at the Merthyr police-court last week. A haulier working at the .vlerthyr Vale Colliery was charged with a breach of the special rules, ,whereby persons' lives were endangered. The fireman found the air very weak, and in some of the stalls ar. accumulation of gas was found. This was owing .to defendant leaving a door open. He was deservedly gent to prison for a mouth. ———wti
