Police Entertained. PLEASANT FUNCTION AT ABERYSTWYTH. On the conclusion of his mayoralty, A. derm an E. P. Wynne entertained tile police of Aber- ystwyth to dinner at Teviotdale's Restaurant on Friday evening. Alderman Wynne pre- sidej and there were also present Alderman Peter Jones, chairman of Cardiganshire County Council; Mr. Hugh Hughes clerk to the bor- ough magistrates; Chief Constable Williams, Superintendent D Philips, P.S. Thomas Davies, and Mr. E. W. Wynne. After enjoying the excellent repast prepared by Mr. TeviotdaJe, the loyal toasts were Honoured. Alderman Wynne said he had arranged that informal gathering to show his appreciation of the services-of the police during his year of office. What with the celebrations on Armistice Day, Peace Day, and church parades, he had had more processions than any previous Mayor for twenty years. He thought it right to re- cognise the servioes readily and willing y given on those occasions by the police. They had at all times given him courteous, kind, and con- siderate assistance. The Chief Constable could feel proud of his men. Cardiganshire police force was a credit! to any county amd equal in bearing to the Metropolitan police. Alderman Wynne, in praising the marching of the "iocal police, regretted the absence on duty of In- spector D. Edwards, who was a picture of a stepper. (Laughter.) He congratulated the members of the fotrce who had served King *nd country. He was proud of having had the honour as Mayor of presenting one of them in the King's name with the Military Medal on the occasion of the peace celebrations. He thanked them all for the kind support they had given him during his year of office. (Applause.) Chief Constable Williams, in responding, re- ferred to the cordial relationship that had always existed between the Mayor and the police force. The three occasions on which Alderman Wynne had been mayor were in many respects the most remarkable three years during the past quarter of a century. Alder- man Wynne was mayor in 1901 when King Edward ascended the throne, and again in 1910 when King George was crowned. The present year was the most remarkable of all, for Alderman Wynne had not been in office more than two days when on November 11th, 1918, it was his privilege and pleasure to pro- rfaim the armistice aind later to rt-oclaim the lon-lookrl for peace. It naturally follower! that the Mayor had come more in contact with the police than any of h's predecessors of the past twenty years. The police had received every consideration from him and whatever they had done in connection with mayoral functions had bectn done with the srreatest pleasure. The Mayor had kindly described the Cardiganshire police as bfiyz eqiia7 to the Metropolitan police. He (the Chief Constable) could tell them more. The other day they were inspected by Sir Leonard Dunning, H.M. in- spector of constabulary and Home OflVe adviser, who said that; not only was thp Car- diganshire force, equal to tho Metropolitan force in physique, intel'igence, and efficiency; but in his opinion was better. (Cheers.) The Chief Constable added that it had been his privilege to try and improve the force and trl select for it men of the highest character. It. was necessary to have men of good physique, but it war, also necessary to have men of good character, intelligence, and education to make, a good policemnii. He believed he had suc- ceeded to a great extent in that object and was peaked to say that he had nt-ver found it necessary to go outside the county to find men. Each of his predecessors found it necessa-y to go outside for recruits: but he had found all he wanted within its boundaries. During the past year the force had to ts.ck'e probably the- most difficult cases which had <ropned up for many years in tho county. Speaking of tho Cribvn murder trial, he said that aftor two days of the most searching inquiry at the Assizec he v*afi glad to say, notwithstanding the result, that the police came out of it with- out the slightest blemish on their reputation. Not a word was uttered by the Judge or Counsel c-orametiting adversely on the action of th<< police, and if they had to tackle a. ease of that kind again he did not think they could improve on what they did. He was prourl to be at the head of the force. On beha. f of every member he thanked Aldn- man Wynne for his kind invitation to meet him that night. (A nplaijsp.) Superintendent Phillins also thanked the Mayor for his invariable kindness to the nolice. Alderman Wynne's year of office had been (I. record one in many way, nofabV in tlio influx of large numbers of visitors. The police had done ali they could in the interests of ratepayers, the Corporatioh, and the visitors -to. deal smoothly with that, influx. He could claim that his force had worked harder to serve the convenience and comfort of all con- cerned. He wished the Mayor long life and hoped to have the pleasure of seeing him once more 1-4 chief magistrate. (Cheers.) P.S. Thomas Davies a!so snoke appronria+e'y and thanked the Mayor for his hospitality. Alderman Peter Jones, in oroposing the (oast of the Mavnr. he had known Alderman Wynne intimately for many years and they had been colleagues in public life. He was gratified to find Alderman Wynne looking rejuvenated not. the close of his year nf office. They were justified in anticipating his occu- pancy of the mavora: chair onco more. If 110 did 60 it would he. in a way that would re- dound to his credit.. as it had during the past, three occasion?. (Cheers.) The tact, sound judgment, and geniality thatnad characterised his public life had been a valuable asset and as a senior magistrate of the borough, he (Alderman Jones) was pleased to say that when sitting with him on the bench he always fo'nd him safe in judgment, with a tendency to mercy which was the proper complement to justice. He did not know of anyone who had discharged duties of his office with greater satisfaction to his feliow citizens than Alder- man W.n:o had done. (Applause.) I Alderman Wynne, in responding, said lie, jvccevt-ed iho mayoralty for the third time at the unanimous vote of the Cottncil, but against the advice of friends. He had a little break- down in the spring when he feared he would have to relinquish public work for a time-, but he was thankful that he had been blessed since then with good he.-v,"toi amd now felt as well as ho felt twelve months ago. During his first mayoralty he attended the funeral of the revered Queen Victoria. As to the events which happened during the past year, Aberystwyth could claim to have taken a leading- part in Wales, if not in the whole roiintry. The town had several important visits during the year and he could claim to have had the privi ege of presiding at more social gatherings than any other mavor. (Cheers.) Mr. Ilusrh Hughes, solicitor, said Mr. Wynne and himself had been friends ever since he came to the town. Alderman Wynne was one of the bosfc importations they had ever had at Aberystwyth. He had always associated himself with philanthropic movements, and, while he had been a successful tradesman, be harj not forgotten his duties as a citizen. Dur- ing the lime*; he was chief magistrate the re- lations between him and the officials, includ- ing the police, had been most cordial. (Cheers;.) An enjoyable evening terminated with a vilf of thanks to M1' E. W. Wynne who entertained the company with gramophone selections. '■ -J i7

Aberystwyth Council ELECTION OF MAYOR. The statutory meeting of Aberystwyth Town Council was held at noon on Monday; present Councillor Professor Edwards (mayor); Alder- men E. P. Wynne (deputy mayor), C. M. Williams, John Evans, Edwin Morris, Daniel Thomas, T. J. Samuel; Councillors E. Lleweliin, B. Taylor Lloyd, J. Barclay Jellkins, John Morgan, T. J. Morrison, LI. Samuel, David Davies, Rhys Jones, G. Fossott Roberts, Dr. T. D. Harries, Captain T. Doughton, J. G'bson, T. H. Edwards,Hugh Hughes, R. E. Williams, Mr. John Evans, town clerk; and all the officials. j, Before proceeding to the annual business, the retiring Mayor (Alderman E. P. Wynne) asked the Council to accept the gifts of two ^-v^aHfl-iome of the ja. Major Sir Edward Pryso, who lay in a warrior's grave at Pen- rhynoooh and whose geniality and hospitality were greatly missed; and the other portrait was of the Council on peace celebratfion day, and was like y to become noted. The portraits were accepted wiflfa gratitude on the proposition of Mr. Barclay Jenkins seconded by Mr. David Davies. The election of mayor was then proceeded with, and Alderman Samuel, after compliment- ing Alderman Wytane on his successful year of office, proposed Professor Edwards, whose name would bo acceptable and who would be a worthy successor in that high office. Pro- fessor Edwards had taken deep interest in the Council's affairs, even before becoming a coun- cillor. Being an enthusiastic golfer, he hdd founded the Golf Club, but had not confined hismterest to golfing more than to bowling and other entertainments. That was the first oocasion on which the College had been directly connected with the mayoralty. As an institu. tion whidh had flourished in the town and as Aberystwyth was a. university town, it was right and proper to elect a representative of the College to fill the mayoral oha.ir, apart from the fact that Professor Edwards had rendered useful service and was the senior member who had not attained the chair. In connection with the National Eisteddfod, his support of the application to the Association and Gorsodd was an assot to the town. His services were aJso useful 86 a member of the Council and Court of Governors of the National Library of Wales. In addition to his interest in the institutions located in the town, he was in touch with tho inhabitants. He would fill the chair with dignity, and it was hoped that members would assist in makinghis duties as light as possible. Mr. R. E. Williams seconded the proposition and said the career of Professor Edwards was sufficift-it proof of his capabilities for the office. The proposition was agreed too with cheers and, having been Invested with the robe End insignia of office, the new Mayor took the chair and returned thanks for the honour and for the generous terms in which it was proposed, seconded, and assented to. He was quite awa-e of the ancient traditions of the mayoral chair &nd was quite conscious of its great responsi- bilities. None knew better tihan himself his own shortcoming; but he would endeavour his best to carry out its functions to the Coun- cil s satisfacton and. if ever he gave a wrong _uhng from the aha;r, on the advice of the Town Clerk—(laughter)—he asked members to rMnennber that it would bo ontirely due to lack of understanding and not to any wrong, or un- worthy motive. He was delighted to think t' at, he would preside over a. bcdy of men actuated by higji sonse of duty and who, however much they differed on details, were united in their desire for the highest welfare of the town. During the war the Council had to remain stagnant and practised the utmost economy oonsequent'y having to Set aside every progres' Aive movement; bul in the coming year the" Council would be called on to undertake neces- sary reforms so that the town should retain its position as the leading health resort on the welsh Coast. Questions like lighting, distri- bution of water supply, drainage, demolition of insanitary a.reas, and the election of a per- manent war memorial would have to be under- taken. Sorry as he was that some of the old members had not cleared the November handi cap, he welcomed the now members to that work. Two of them, Counoidlorg Hughes and Williams, ware new to municipal work; but Councillors Gibson and Edwards had liad long experience, and he trusted they would p!acc the benefit of their exp experience and know- ledge at the Council's service. Having announced that Alderman Wynne had con- son ted to act as deputy m'tyor, a.nd the Rev. John Davies as chaplain, the Mayor added that he became a member of the Council to form a connecting link between the College and town. The prosperity of both was closeiy linked to. gether. Alderman Daniel Thomas, in proposing thanks to the retiring Mayor for the efficient manner.he had (performed the duties, said historic events had occurred du-ing Alderman Wynne's years of office. Aldorman Wynne during his previous periods of office proclaimed King Edward and King George. During the past years he had other historic events- the p-oclaimation and celebration of peace. Owing to official duties and st ass of business his health failed; but through the good nursing of Mrs. Wynne and exhilarating air of Devil's Bridge lie soon roco-vered and now looked as well us ever. Though not at man of many words, no- body took keener interest in the welfare of the town. One of tho mateters which had been carried forward and about which the town eagerly asked was the war memorial and Y.M.C.A. project. Mr. Hugh Hughes, in seconding, said lialf the work done by Alderman Wynne -had not been menteioned. Ho had filled the maoyralty during one of tho most important years in tho history of the town and county and had per- formed his duties satisfactorily. He could also claim that ho had presided over more meetings than any previous maypr; but, though be duties were so numerous, he had been abie to carry out h:s duties in connection with the Oddfellows. The vote of thanks was assented to by the members standing and cheering. In^ reply. Alderman Wynne said it was with diffidence that he accepted office twelve months ago; but it was at the Council's unanimous wish, though he did not want to trespass on anybody else's right to the chair, that he con- sentod to act for the third timo. The Ooun- cil's acceptance of the vote of thanks showed that fit, had givwn satisfaction and made him more satisfied. It had been a year more of social gatherings than of grea"! works; but there were various matters wlvichi required the Council to buckle to, and he hoped every effort would be made to justify the advertisement of Aberystwyth as the Brighton cf Wales. There vrfere ugly holes tnd connars tlilt wanted attending to. Constitution Hill was an eye- sore, and people who had an eye to landscape and to beauty thought it was a shame. Many complained that the Company spoiled tho place by making a railway and that the Council* had not. taken advantage of tho opportunities o purchase for the purpose of providing a pleasure ground and shelter. He hoped- the now Council would take the matter in hand so that Constitution Hill would no longer be an eyesore. He thanked the Council for the support and kindness extended to him during his year of office. On behalf of the new members, Mr. T. U. Edwards dJrj-jaitulated ftha Matvor on his elevation. The quarterly meetings were fixed to be ho'd on February 10th, May 11th. September 14th, and November 9th. Mr. Hugh Hughes j and Mr. Rhys Jones suggested clianigng the time of mefctg"; ,bu.t tho Mayor ruled tha.t notice of motion was required. The Town Crier was re-appointed. Messrs. Rhys Jones and T. J. Morrison were re-appointed Downie's trustees, with the addi- tion of Alderman Samuel said Mr B. T. Lloyd in the place of Messrs, David Ellis and J. D. Williams. All the members were appointed on the fJnding Ortmmittoes. An amendment pro- posed by Mr. Barclay Jenkins and seconded by Mr. T. H. Edwards in favour of the Sanitary and Public Undertakings Committee being re- duced tao twelve members each was withdrawn. The following have been appointed ohairmen of the standing committees:Sanitary, Mr. C. M. Williams; Public Undertakings," Mr. U. Samuel; Finance, Mr. E. Llewellin; Public Works, Mr. David Davies; and General Pur- poses, Mr. B. Taylor Lloyd. Aldermen John Evans and Edwin Morris re- tirod from the Public Library Committee, and all the other members were re-appointed, with the addition of Mr. T. H. Edwards. MAYOR'S SUNDAY. An aoppcal having been received from the students to part.bipate in the solemnisation of the Mayor's Sunday, the offer of Tabernacle Chapel to hold the service there, instead of at Salem, has been accepted. The service will be ,it, eleven a.m., when the Rev. John Davies,' B.A., will preach. SILENT REMEMBRANCE. Before proceeding with the business at tho monthly meeting on Tuesday, the Mayor and Corporation honoured the King's wish by liold- Hr a brief service at Salem Chapel, in memory the g'orious dead. on the first anniversary qF A-m;f;tir-e, Day. The Rev. John Davies, the the Mayor's chaplain, comducted the service. I L and Mrs. T. J. Samuel presided at the organ. On returning to the "Council Chamber, the Mayor said he had, on behalf of the Corpora- tion, laid a tribute of white chrysanthemum at the shrine in the Public Library. He trusted that the anniversary of Armistice Day, tha greatest event in history, would renew en- thuaiasm in the town to proceed with the erec- tion cf a permanent memorial. He read the following stanzas written in connection with the tribute:- This tribute to the noble dead With reverent hand we lay; The glorious youth who rushed ahead, To the fury of the fray.

Moore, F.S.I., London, wrote that he had been instructed to treat with the j Waterloo Hydro site. He mquired if the Coun- cil wished to widen the footpath in Terrace- road. The Town Clerk said he had replied that the Council would most probably take advantage of the opportunity. Alderman Samuel said the question had been discussed, but no definite resolution passed. Could not the principle of widening the street be adopted? The letter was referred to committee. INCREASED REPRESENTATION. The Ministry of Health wrote enclosing copy of the County Council's proposal to increase the number of oounty councillors for the boT- ough from four to six and of dividing the three wards into six electoral divisions. Alderman Samuel said the town was entitled to the increase having regard to population and raitable value. He proposed that the applica- tion should be endorsed. Mr. T. H. Edwards seconded tjhe proposition and said the town deserved beitter representa- tion on the County Council. (Laughter). Alderman Samuel—I object to that word— i not better, but larger. | The proposition was agreed to. jj SEWERAGE. The Ministry of Health wrote asking for a reply to a previous letter with reference to the proposed sewage and sewerage disposal scheme. Major Fossett Roberts thought in so import- ant a matter that a reply should have been sent explaining what action was taken. It would be nothrng less than a breach of honour if the Council did not proceed with a scheme, though not so elaborate a scheme as was pre- viously propounded. Mr. Rbys Jones was informed that Penparko was inoluded in the soheme. Dr. Harries did not think an expensive scheme as originally intended was required. The Town Clerk said he. had replied to the Ministry that the letter of September 19th ti-at tho matter had been referred to the Sanitary Committee and that nothing appeared to have been dome since the beginning of 1915. Major Fossett R'fcerts said if the letter of September 19th had .been answered there would have been no need for the. letter if October 29th from the Ministry. The Mayor said the Town Clerk had acknow. lodged every letter from the Ministry, but couLd not have replied explaining what had boon done regarding the scheme. The letter was referred to the Sanitary Committee. PUBLIC WORKS. The Public Works Committee reported having agrood to employ disabled ex-service men on a percentage basis. Professor Findlay wrcte giv- ing the result cf his test of gas and relinquish- ing the post of gas examiner and expressing the pleasure it had given him during the past seven years to perform that. service to the Cor- poration and the community. A letter on be. half of Mr. Ellison suggesting the desirability j of allowing tho fencing round the Castle! Grounds cnort pitch remain for the winter1 was referred to Aldaimiffh John Evans and Sur veyor, with power to act. The balance due to Messrs Edwards Brothers for work at Bridgand, Trefechan, was ordered to be paid on the Sur- veyor's certificate. A letter from Mr. H. N. Hunt, organiser of the Workers' Union, was leferied to a sub-committee, and a meeting of the Sub-Committee was bold to meet repre-1 sentatives of labourers and scavengers rasped ing their wages, but as the employees were not prepared to send representatives the Committee made no reoommendation. The Surveyor was instructed to lay twenty feet of channelling on the road on the soutJi side of Trefechan Bridge. It was agreed that the rail.ngs at the back of Alexandra Hal1 should be extended to tho junction of the roads. The tender of Mr. John Evans, Green Garden-cottages, was accepted for repairs at Brynymor. The Com- mittee had met Mr. George Edwards and Mr. Norman Cooke, on behalf of the West Wales Garages, Limited, with the view of secur:ng the widening of the lower part of Vaenar- street. Plans of the new garage cn the Old Ropeiwalk were approved. On the report of the Lighting Committee, Iampi in several parts of the town were ordered to be lit. On the proposition of Mr. Rhys Jones, seconded by Mr. Barc:ay Jenkins, it was agreed to allow Mr. Hunt to attend a meeting of the Sub-Committee with representatives of the workmen. Mr R. Saycell, Goginsn, wrote drawing atten- tion to the question of light to his houses in Vaenor-street in consequence of the nmv gar- ago, and Mr. Morrison said it would improve the vaJuo of the property tremendously.—The letter was referred to ooinmittec. Dr. Harries expressed indebtedness to Pro- fessor Findlay and regretted 'his departure. It would be necessary to appoint another exam- iner. With regard to lighting, Mr. Hugh Hughes asked if another lamp could bo placed in Dinas_ ten ace, and Mr. Rhys Jones suggested doing away with the lamp at Dizi-,us House. Mr. T. H. Edwards was mformed that a.n application to restore the lamp in Iorwevth- avenue was under consideration, and Major Fossett Roberts explained that the report was an instalment only. The Committee's report was presented by Alderman John Evans and adopted, as well as a Teptort by the Sanitary Committee re- commending improvementa in Thespian-street, Camibrian.street, and Gogerddan-place. Mr. T. R. Edwards having been informed that the lowering of walls in Gogerddan-place would net have objectionable results, Dr Han ifis sai,d' the more walls were lowered the mere air space and light would be availablo. PUBLIC BATHS. At a meeting of the Finance Committee, Alderman Edwin Morris explained Messrs. Morris a;nd Griffith's wishes regarding tliia Waterloo insuranco money. The subject was lully discussed, but no resolution passed. On a letter from Mr R. Rowlands applying for the usa of 46, Marine-terrace as temporary YM.C,A. premises, a sub-committee was appointed and k,e"ns were suggested, including rent of jE5 per month. Mr A. J. Hodgkinson Carringtow, C.M.E, ) having attended a meating of the Public! Works Committee with ret., ird to the Public Baths, the matter was further considered bv the Finance Committee:, and on his appliea- ton it was recommended to modify the lease so that he should have the choice of which of the swimming baths and stdjoining private baths should be kept open. Dr. Harries asked when Mr. Carrington was informed of the Committee's decision and Mr Barclay Jenkins, who presented the report, said the Town Clerk onild not communicate the resolution until it was confirmed by the Coun cil. Mr. Gibson sa.d he felt anxious about the question for more than one reason. Two years 1 ago he went into tho matter carefully. The j Baths were then dereiict, as they are now. The Corporation had neyer enforced the terms of 'I the lease regarding repairs, and that fact was common to other property. He had a price for the Baths, and the price was not accept- able hera-use it cleared everybody concerned of their liabilities, and it was not worth the price. He also considered the repairs with an archi- tect, and found that from B700 to S800 would be required tn make the place fit to be carried on as Public Baths. He had the price reduced to a sum tibut would have enabled the Cor- poration to buy if they had the same offer; but when the Corporation interfered after hearing that somebody else was in the market the price went up. The terms of the lease were stringent in overy way, and one of the most stringent clauses prohibited the whole of the premises fnom bemcr used for other purposes. Befcvrp, adopting the Committee's recommenda- tion he asked if the Council was in possession of the whole scheme. He did not, demy the College autWities the possession of money to ensJblo them to buy the whole Terrace; but it was time property on and adjoining the Terrace should not against the terms of the lease be used against the public common weal and wel- fare. Plenty of people cionld have had the place years ago if they had been aware that the Corporation would allow the terms of fhe lease to be set aside aad ignored. He pro- nosed that the recommendation should be ro- ferrd back for details of the whole scheme. Alderman Samuel seconded the proposition, which was agreed to without further discussion 1

Weighed Only 2libs. When 2 Years Old. Could not Walk. Made Strong and Well by Dr. CasaeTs Tablets. Mrs. Burgess, 41, Phytliian-street, St. Helecis. s&ys After an operation my little Edith was always weak and puny, and seemed to get. thinner every day. She did not eat well, but just lay about, a frail little thing. At two years o.'d she hadn't begun to walk. She just wasted away to a skeleton, and what flesh there was 00 her poor little bones was quite soft. I had tried everything I could think of for Edie, without benefit, when a friend advised me to give her Dr. Cassdl's Tablets.1 I did, and it was really astonishing how they helped her. She picked up wonderfully, and quite soon was eating better than ever she had done. Then she began to put on flesh, and now sho ic running about ever go weil and strong."

At a meeting of the GeneraJ Purposes Com- mittee Alderman Morris submitted a statement showing total receipts from the Band, chairs, and entertainments for the season amounting to £ 1,687. Mr. T. H. Edwards said the amount col- lected in the box was £56. It was a mean thing in a first-class seaside resort to take round a ooiltecting box. Tile Mayor suggested that Mr. Edwards should bring that matter before the Com- mittee. On Alderman Samuel's proposition a vote of tiianks was aocjrded the accompanists, who gave their services free at the Band conceits, and to. Mr Enoch. Davies who a-ted as secretary and arranged splendid programmes. The un- lortunate part, Alderman Samuel added, was tiiat the Town Hall was njt large enough. FREEDOM OF THE BOROUGH. Alderman C. M. Williams proposed that the honorary freedom of the borough should be offered Mr. Vaughan Davies, M.P., in recogni- t'ion r,.f his va^uUble sasiirtance to the tI)wu. As recent as April Mr. Vaugiian Davies accom- panied a deputation Yrczn the Council to Gov. eirnment departments. When the Council launched on the Harbour Provisional Order a iu^n was premised on repayment in forty years; but when the Order was ;ssued the period given was 30 years. The late Town Clerk saw Mr. Vaughaai Davies who paid three visits of the Laa &nd secured an extentipn to forty years. It was not intended that the freedom of the borough should be conferred on Mr Vaughan Davies at the same time aa the Prlme Minister, because it waa usual for the Prime Minis ler to be honoured alone; but the freedom could be conferred on Mr. Vaughaji Davies at the samo time as on General Evans, V.C. Durimgl tihe past twentl-fim years no sacrifice, had' bces too great fbr Mr. Vaughan Davies in serving the borough. Alderman Daniel Thomas seconded the pro- position. As Captain Llewellin and Mr. Gibson rose to speak, the Mayor appealed that any discus- sion should take plcce in committee, as it was a personal matter. A'idermaai Wi'lliams—I have tho objection; zut I did not think a. discussion was necessary. Ca,pta.in I/leweilm said he intended prop* B.ng an amendment that the select ton of the recip- ients of the freedom < the borough should be referred to a oommi ttee of the/ whole Coun- oil Ets sodil as pcssiWe after the honour was conferred: on Mr. LJøyd George. I Mr. Rhys Jones—There is a feeling at this ¡ end of the table that wo should not have the resolution at all. I Mr. Gibson said members should have a chance to speak, though thoy might agree with the Mayors point of view. There was a full- blooded resolution on tho agenda. It was not a chance tiling. He disclaimed any personal feeling. The resolution was something more than casual. If Mr. Vauhan Davies were worthy, I he would erne through; if not worthy, then he would not come through. Ho was not for dis- cussing the resolution, though he had some- i n thing to say fairly strong on it. (Laughter.) Hie Mayor again appealed for discussion in committee at the close of the meeting, and that was agreed te.
