CHAMBER OF TRADE.-The annual meet- | ing of the Chamber of Trade was held on Tues- day evening, Mr. Jack Edwards in the chair.— It was decided to support the resolution passed at the annual meeting of the Federated Cham- bers of Trade with regard to the early closing and the rating of premises. It has been argued that premises used for pur- poses of trade, such as houses of medical practitioners and de ntists should be rated on the similar basis as shops.— The balance sheet read by Mr. E. H. Davies, secretary, showed that year opened with a balance of JE13 odd and after paying expenses these was a balance of over E13 a few shillings less than the preceding year. The plate glass insurance fund was stated to be in excellent position, money having been invested last year in war bonds and the meeting dec,ded to invest S25 of the balance in hand in War Savings Certificates. Breakages during the year had amounted only to 27, and it was resolved that in future the secretaries commission be £15 per cent on the plate glass business, and the honorarium to be increased to four guineas per annum.—The Chamber extended a warm come to Mr. Thomas a new member, and to Mr. Herbert Jones, Terrace-road, on his return from the army, and heartily con- g-ratulated Mr. Griffith Ellis, on his electioh as Guardian.—The Chairman referred to a pro- posal to set apart an evening to discuss the question of starting new industries in the town and it was decided that the meeting to be held on May 6th, be devoted to that purpose, Mr Herbert Jonr-s to open the discussion. After protracted deliberation no resolution was pas- sed with regard to early closing.— Mr. Griffith Ellis, was elected president Mr. J. Walters, Mr Hughes and. Mr Jack Edwards, vice-presi- dents; Mr. David Ellis, hon. secretary; and Mr. E. H. Davies, secretary. The Executive Com- mittee will be formed of all officers. A hearty v, te of thanks was accorded the retiring officers.—Mr. Walters drew attention to the delay in transit of goods from Man- Chester and Liverpool, and one member said it was a scandal that food should be on the road for throe weeks.—It was decided to write to the Cambrian and the London and North- j Western Railwa-v Companies with regard to the matter. Another grievance of local traders was said to be the lack of a through carriage from Abervft/wyth, goods being transferred at Machynlleth.—Tt was decided to ask the Cambrian Railwav Company to get a through carriage from Abervstwyth.

Ladies and Gentlemen,— 9KH W to return my warmest thanks to the g electors who recorded their votes in my tarour at the poll on Saturday trt-ek. As stated in my brief address, I consented to become a candidate in response to the pressing appeal of a large number of electors. I had no personal wish to b'c-nie a canid date; but seeing the strong da>ire that I should again become a member of the Board of Guardians I consented to be nominated. Rr-lying on that kind feeling, I did not think it necessary to make a thorough canvass of the electors or ask others to do so for me. I was not aware until after the election that a small clique had organised a bitter attack on me by the circulation of wrongful state- ments and gross misrepresentations. I there- fore had no opportunity of refuting them or of canvassing the electors personally to counteract the mischief dene bty those mis- statmrnts and wrongful misrepresentations. Had I known of this organised attack, I should have called one or two public meetings so as to meet my accusers face to face. In view of that attack and the absence of a thorough can- vass, the wonder is that I polled so large a number of votes. I" proves that I still retain the confidence of my fellow-townsmen, and for my own part T certainly have not lost faith in them, nor has the insidious attack of a small number of people lessened my desire to serve in the future as in the past the best interests of the electors on the Town Council, the County Council, and the Education Com- j mittee. If the electors desire mn to be a candidate in the next election of Guardians, I shall have pleasure in complying with that desire in order to havo an opportunity of refuting tlfe false statements made in the recent election. I must confess I was caught napping in this election. election. I must confess I was caught napping in this election. I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, i Yours faithfully, C. M.

IV v I 0 d lb YOUR INCOME TAX. This week it is proposed to deal with Schedule "B" or "Farmers' Tax." It is popularly supposed that this impost is a rate, payable irrespective of income, whereas it is simply a rough and ready way of computing the profit derived from the farm and thus subject to the same allowances as the assessment made on a trader. For the present year the assess- ment for Schedule B is based on double the amount of the rent. Thus, assuming the rental to lie 260 per annum, the assessment should be 2120 when the abate- ment limit is not reached, no amount will be payable unless there is other income. Taking the case, however, of a farmer paying £ 200 per annum in rent and having a wife and 3 children and an insur- ance premium of S10 per annum, his adiustment would be:- Assessment £400 Less Abatement £ 120 Less Wife £25 Less Children m Less Insurance E10 £238 S170 At 2s. 3d.:— £ 19 2s. 6d. Unless a return were made, "the amount of C400 would be charge- able at the full rate, viz., 6s. in the B producing an amount of £120. If you have paid Farmers' Tax during the last three years you are still in a position to recover any overpayment. Write to "Tax Expert." Cambrian News, Aber- ystwyth. -,o. George Peacock & Co.
