The Chairman remarked that the Bow Street Parish Council had agreei to do the required repairs t I the footbath leading to the village well, at their own ex- pense. It wa* understooi that the District Surveyor will take the necessary work at Borth in hand forth- with. Mr Mill r remarked that Mr George Jone., the Council's architect, was pnshiug forward his scheme for the d;a ning of Llanba larn, but that it would take some little time to go into the scheme thor. oughly. Mr Charles D,vies d'-rected thi attention of the Conncil t) a bill for 12s 6J which had been sent in from Nant Mos. remarking that the amount sought was in lieu of r-int for certain lines of water pipes in the neighbourhood of Pentrebont, and covered a period ot two-and-a-half years. The Council agreed to defer payment of the bill until their n J't meeting, it being the opinion of the meeting that Mr Jnmes Jones, of Tyll wyd, one of the older memb?r«. who was an absentee, might be ahle to furnish the Ojancil with an explanation of the claim. PROPOSED BRIDGK FOrt LLANGWTRYFON. The Clerk rea l a communication from the Llinarwy- ryfon Parnh Council urging the Rural District Council to proceed whh the er ctioa of a new stone bridge ov r the river Beidwg. The Distrivt Surveyor reanrked that the proposal had been before the District Council on a previous ocoasion, bat nothing w is done in the matter. At times the pbee wa,, imp.tssablo. Mr E. J. Evan-i atat-sd that a sma 1 committee had been appointed to visit the place a-id report, but the committee never met, aod the matter dropped. Personally he w is favourable to the erection of a bridge at the spot na-ned, and having passed the p ace 0'i one occasion whon tIJe river wis in company with Mr Daniel Morris, he invited his opinion on the application. Mr Morris replied that there were many other p'aoes more in need of a bridge, but probably these people were Lk^ o hcra, the m)re they got themord they re- quired. (Laughter). Mr E. J. Kvaus, a* the rip^e^entative of the parish, felt it bis duty to movo in favonr of the erection of a bridge, remarking that there was as much traffic over 'ti mfl that particular roid a^ aay otW in the union. The place was inundated aft^r heivy rains, and it was also impassable in frosty weither. The matter deserved thi serious consideration of the Counc 1. Mr Charles Davies seconded the motion. The Council had spent mon°y freely in effecting various improvements in the northern por ion of the Union, and he felt justified in appealing to those mem- bers in the hope of securing some improvements in the southern districtJ. He felt strongly in favour of the erection of a bridge at Ijlangwyryfon, and ven. tured to suggest that there was no place in the Union where the want of a bridge was more keenly felt. Mr Daniel Morris disagreed with Mr Daviea, ob- serving that be was acquainted with some planes on I mentioned were in a worse a tat 3 than the *pot r^Ln'hJ:Ji^n8 Sa4he was hopeful of the County the expense, as was the Cuse in theerect,on of tiie bridge at Rhodmade.

IN WHOM IS THE BIGHT VESTEDJ Willitne*t ifc9m °n the agenda was Mr J. M. tv' am,B notice of motion in favour of rescinding the resolution agreed to by t e Council «t their meeting on the 20th of April laifc, to the effect that they should resut the claim of Mr Vaughan Danes, v O0rta'n stone and gravel in the bed of the bridge yth' at a flPot adia(50nt t0 T/n lniTo^iP jairrnan' at the outset, remarked that a -rtfch?\been receive! from Mr James Jones, J bearing upon the matt-r, and i, -p. "be' communication which ran as follows n „5,r Slr ~I am afraid that I ennot be at the iioard to-morrow as there is a funeral I should go to. A beg upon you to try to pet the Board to adjourn the motion to rescind opposing Mr Vaughan Davies law "it- I should like to be at the meeting when it is dweusaed as I want to clear myself of the insinua- tions that are male about ma tlat f here is some bad reeling between In., and Mr Davies, and that is the reason I bring this matter forward. I admit that I do feel very keenly ab .ut the oa=e. as everybody else would do that had been brought up n-ar the place as ) 1 was, and seeing people going t> and f om the river whenever they I ked for gravel and sa I. Mr J. M. Williams prote^ad stringly against the matter being further adjourned, l'ho mutter had been befora the Council tor a very long time. and as they were all awaru it was adjourned on the la-t occasion simply beeause the notice of the meeting was nut issued the nocessary four clear days. He real'y thought they should proceed with the matter, and he would propose that Mr E. J. Evans, interrupting, protested against the mat er being proceeded with, inasmuch as it would show every disrespect to one of their old..st and most esteemed members. Mr James Jones had written desiring the adjournment of the question, and the Council having already that morn-ing allowed one matter to stand over until the next meeting with the view of eliciting the opinion and some information from Mr Jones, he considerel that it won d only be common courtesy on the part of the Council if they met Mr Jone=!' request in this case. He would there. fore move that the question should stand adjourned until the next Council meeting. Mr Thomas Powell seconded the proposition. Mr David Davies failed to see what woul l be gained by deferring the matter to meet Mr James Jones. Mr J M Williams understood that the action was on the point of being entered in London, and the nnestion having been adjourned by the Council notedly he c nsidered it his duty to protest against P fnrther alioumment. He had every respect for i mps Jones as a m mber of th« Council, and, Mr •'ame always agreed fairly well until this further, they ha 1 always k question cropped lhi8 m result*. Conned had noi hppn trifling with the question as suggested by Mr Williams. That was a mislending statement, and he looked"o the Chairman to put him right. The Chairman: I must say that several matters ». nassed by the Council, when the notices corvening the meetings were delayed as on the last occasion Personally I have had enough of this matter and would be pleased if it were settled one "KtThe action unanimously. Th 't was the decision aThetXrkaSred'that the «0tion which Mr Williams desired to lescind was agreed to at a prior meeting. Mr Miller: There was another meeting. The Clerk: I did call another meeting, but no resolution was passed, and there is no entry on the minute book. Mr E. J. Evans said a motion was passed on the proposition of Mr J. R,. James seconded by Mr Miller, that they should contest the action. Mr Miller: Yes, the motion mw pøHCI. ;it Clerk J W- WII iU Mr E. J. Ens: The meeting was held at your office. The Chairm = Yes, about two months ago. The Clerk: iere is no veso'utioa on the minutes. Mr Miller: Ie resolution was pas-ed. Th^> Clerk 0 will 330 at once if it is on the books, and if t is noti there is an end t I it. Mr J. R.,J&is: The book wis not at the place at the time. Dt<fon not put it down on a slip of paper? Mr E. J. Ene: The resolution was passed on your motion. Mr J. R. Jaia: Yes. The Clerk r^rked thut at Mr J. M. Williams' request they b looked throngh the minute book, and the only relation thiy could find was the one in favour of reding the claim. The Chairmdremarked that Mr Williams was at liberty to proo3 with hioi resolution. Mr E. J. Ev0 We have a resolution before the Conncil alreadj j. A it. Tho Clerk tnat those preseot at the Council me«tin?e«Ho<i to adhere to the resolution passed and th#V! t) resist the claim, and that was the principal relation. He had looked through the minute book at^ Williams' request to see if there was any oth r ration. Of course all would be in- corporated in tlmotion subniitted by Mr Williftins. Mr Miller V1 parsed a resolution at the special meeting of the (UncII, that we should contest this claim, and this ,Inbon is out of order. Mr E. J. EVil: Why wAs th., resolution not re- corded. Mr Miller I n t say. Mr Charles ITies; And was there not a kind of rider to the res^tion, tha^. the Coulcil WOUhl fix a flood-gate nom3,fr> ne r this spot. Mr E. J.

M. WiUms •' The minutes have been signed, I take it. The Chairmsn es, and we cannot interfere. Mr E. J. Evan: 1)0 you refuse to put the reso- lution in favour < the adjournment, Mr Chairman? The Chairman ^suiting the clerk): Is it right to put that r-isolut*1 ? The Clerk rep3^ that the matter could be ad- journed. Mr J. R. Jame: The meeting at which the reso- lution in favour > contesting the action was passed, w-tg held at the Ork's office. I am not going to say anything agaiustle clerk, but the minnte book was not there; and th decision come to at the special meeting was to dPnd the action. The Clerk was dir. ectel to consult )" Smith (Mr Davtea* ao)icit<r) in the meantime, an,report to the Council. Some sug- gestion was madin reference to a floo 1-gate at the time. Mr Jame,dde,t that the special meeting was held at the elerk'sffice,|although it was first intended to meet at the Wikhouse. Several Councillor? hav. ing left the Boardn^eting. they agree i to meet later in the afternoon a the offioe, and that would also acconut for the mlute book not being there. Having agreed toJJeth >r atihe Boud room to adjonrn to the cle-k's oQioo. Mr maintained th:\t the meeting was quite legal. The Ch-tirma, < fared they would have to divide the Board on Mr Bans' motion, but before taking the vote he would like) ascertain whether there would be any danger in drying the matter. Mr E. J. Kvans rfisidered the Chairman's remark quits out of order. The Council as yet had nothing whatever to do witftny claim of Mr Vausrhan Davies. Itw-ts redty sarpfing to him that Bar Vaughan Davies, if he had a laiin, had not entered his state- ment of claim long fo as they expected. A suggestion beinmids at this juncture that it was not a. iviubl., ttdiscuss the question any further in the presence of th reporters, Mr Evans added wrmly that he was pleased to see the reporters presen This question, he maintained, had been kept in thehrk too long, and the public were anxious to kno' what the Council proposed do- ing in the matter. ? did not agree with dealing any farther with thenattor in the dark.. MrJ. R. James iipfored of the matter being openly discussed; ud the Carman added that personally he had no objection whover. Mr Charbs Davies remarked that although the Press were excluded (om a previous meeting,; a report of their meeting apparod tha next day in a South Wales paper. Mr David Davies tonght it preferable to discuss the whole question beore the report ri. Mr J. M. Williams ras also favourable to publicity, and urged the Conucilto terminate the whole question at that meeting. The Chairman Th<3«estion is simply this. Are we to go to law with Br Vaughan Davies or not P M.r Charles Davies ;^nd will there be any danger M del*v.ng the frtter? J.

'f old Highway question hav« known how t" deal with the question However, things had changed, aui ne b. bad bpu"t in tbt Mr David Lloyd, referring to the suggestion thrown out that Mr Vaughan Davies had no objection to) the carting of stone from another part of the<#iver, pointed out that Mr Vaughan Davies had nothing to do with that particular spot, as it was vested in another person. The Chairman did not approve of the Council allowing the action to proceed, as the advantige, even if they won, would be but a trifle. It was reallv not worth the risk. He also pointed out t'lat the Parish Council for the district were opposed to the action of the Council. and having seen the place himself he wns quite satisfied that aa amicable 8«ttl"ment would be preferable to incurring the risk of losing some hundreds of pounds. Mr David Lloyd reminded the Chairman that Mr Vaughan Davies was a memb-r of the Par sh Council, and bad a voice in the meeting. The Chairman, continuing his remarks, went on to say that there was an insinuation, abroad that soma people had been influenced by Mr Davies, but he assured the Council that as far as he was personally concerned it was was nothing of the kind. He would act in tM same manner with any other landlord. Was the Council going to risk a law suit on such a worthless affair." Mr J. R. James observed that several members of the Council had changed their opinion after seeing Mr Vaughan Davies, but of course he would not like to t'ay whether they had been influenced or not. Mr David Davies commented warmly on the question generally, remarking that if their Surveyor had neglected to avail himself of these free stones, the Council ought to have censored his conduct. Again, it appeared strange to him that the Council should undertake to provide a flood-gate at this particular spot. If the Council had the right they claimed, why offer to do this? Mr J. R. James replied that they simply desired to meet Mr Vaughan Davies honourably. Mr Dmiel Morris thought the suggestion regarding flood-gate showed that there was some danger in removing the material. A vote was subsequently taken when a majority of two was declared in favour of rescinding the resolu- tion of the Council in favour of resisting Mr Vaughan Davies' claim. Mr J. M. Williams then formally moved the following resolution :-That with a view 01 termin- ating the litigation now pending between Mr Vaughan Davies, and Mr Morgan Daviea, road surveyor of this Council, the Clerk be instructed without pre- judice to aocept Mr Vaughan D*vies' offer to allow the District Council and their Surveyors at all t;mes h^fafter to remoTe gravel from the river Ystwyth at a place near Tynlone chapel." Mr Daniel Morris seconded. Mr Miller mov.,d as an amendment that the Council should visit the ap-1 before taking any action in the matter. Mr E. J. Evans in seconding remarked that the Council were behaving themselves like children, whereupon The Chairman protested against such disrespect being shown to the chair. Mr J. R. James feared that some of the Council did not quite understand the question, and had been influenced by someone. The Chairman again protested, remarking that he was surprit-ed to hear thaI. remark irom Mr James, who had never seen the place. Mr J. M. Williams said that he took the step he had taken that day, inasmuch as he considered it his duty, and not because of any favour received at the hands of Mr Vaughan Davies. On a division Mr J. M. Williams' resolution w tS carried, twelve voting in favour of the motion, an" ten for Mr Miller's amendment. The names wer* recorded. TALTBONT WATER SCHEME. The Council resolved, on the motion of Mr J. M. Wi liams, seconded by Mr Miller, that the Clerk be authorized to apply to the (jocal Government Board for their sanction to borrow X-500 tor the purpose of carrying out tie Talybont water scheme. THE INSPECTOR. Mr John Rowlands was re-appointed for the ensuing twelve months, at a salary of £ 100 per annum, on the motion of Mr Simon, seconded by Mr J. R. James. The Council also agreed to the necessary authority being vested in the Inspector, pursuant to section 295 of the Public Health Act, to appear on behalf of the Council at any court of summary jurisdiction within or adjacent to the Uniou. SLAUGHTER HOUSES. The Common Seal of the Council was affixed to numerous licenses of slaughter houses situate within the district. This was an the business.

MYFYRDOD DYDDNADOLIG. Draw o Betblo'm, dinas Dafydd, Daeth y newydd goraf gaed— Bachgen Iesu wedi 'i eni, Plygwn wrth ei eanctaidd draed Awn trwy ffydd yn awr hyd Bethle'm I gaot gwel'd y liaobgen gwiw, Y Messia addawedig, Brawd a phrynwr dynolryw. Fe gyflawnwyd yr addewid, Rh-ddwyd i ni gynt o'r ne', Gan ein Tad am wir Iachawdwr, Crift yr Arglwydd yw efe; Doed trigolion byd yn gyfan I glodfod am y dydd Ganwyd ini y Messia, Hwn a wnaeth y caeth yn rhydd. Fe dosturiodd wrth ddynolryw, Daeth o'r nef i barthau'r llawr, Gorfoleddwn, llawenychwn, Am y dydd o doriad gwawr; Dydd a gofir tra bo daear, Dydd a gofir tra bo'r nef, Can y seintiau yn oes oesoedd Am y dydd y ganed Et, 0 na allem werthtawrogi Dydd Nadolig yn ein gwlad, Gan ei gadw'n gysegredig, 'R eof am iachawdwriaeth rad; Dydd i foli, nid i bechu, Ydyw hwn, ienengctyd glan, Gyda. etigyl glan y nefoedd Iddo Ef gwnawn eiiio can.
