Guardians' Tribute. At the meeting of the Board of Guardians on Saturday the Chair- man, Mr. John Lloyd, moved a vote of condolence with the relatives of the late Ald. David Hughes, who, he said, had been a useful member of that Board. Mr. J. Prowle seconded. Ald. Hughes, added Mr. Prowle, was one of the best citizens they had in Aber- dare. He wished to second this mo- tion more particularly because of an estrangement which occurred be- tween the late Ald. Hughes and him- self some time ago. Bufc he might explain that the estrangement did not last the day out. Ald. Hughes had set many young men on their feet by helping them in their educa- tion. Mr. C. Fenwick supported, and the motion was carried.in silence.

Aberaman Dust. Prior to the above discussion Mr. D. Jackson Thomas drew attention to the awful state of Cardiff Road, Aberaman. He remarked that the dust was intolerable, and it was a pity to see the women and children almost blinded by it. There was plenty of water in Blaengwawr Brook to water the streets. In reply to a question the Deputy Surveyor said they were getting water for the roads in a stream near Park Lane. Mr. D. P. Davies said there was an ample supply of water for roads near Maesyffynon. Mr. D. J. Thomas: And Blaen- gwawr. The deputy surveyor promised to utilise the water at Maesyffynon for watering Cardiff Road. Mr. W. Thomas said it would be well to let the public know that the water used on the streets was not from the reservoirs. The Deputy Surveyor remarked that by using stream water for the roads they were saving 300,000 gal- lons per day.

Our Water Supply. In reply to Mr. W. Thomas the Deputy Surveyor said that with re- gard to our water supply we were better off than in 1911, because he had restricted the supply earlier than in 1911. Chairman How long can we go on now at the present rate, provided it does not rain? Deputy Surveyor: Six weeks.

Morris: "What do you say to your wife when you come home late?" Later: "Whatever gave you the im- pression that I ever get a chance to talk?"

The Reflector. BY "HYPNOS." Yes, Sunday was one of the hottest days on record. But why should you all pull off your coats. Most undigni- fied. Your shirt was very well per- forated, T-. A patent ventilator, 1 presume. One Cwmdare man spent a most en- joyable holiday. On Monday afternoon a.t the Cinema, and in the night at the Empire. I shouldn't have mentioned it, only he happens to be one of the kill- joys. The young man was in such a hurry to go on his holidays that he left his luggage behind. Trecynon. But a Cwmdare man left his missus behind. The teas in Trecynon on Monday proved a consuming success. Three boys from — chapel couldn't take tea. They had a picnic up the Park on their own. No, I won't say where they had the cake from. One close-fisted young man won't go on his holidays. "I can enjoy myself quite as well in the Park." Why don't you go to Swansea, like B^—, and swank that you've been to Blackpool? I'm rather surprised to hear Mag is on speaking terms with Liz again. They couldn't help it. They attended the same table at the tea fight-a fight that produced peace. Tea, what a good conciliator thou art! A- enjoyed himself all right up the Park. He was envied by other young men, for he had three girls. Pocket pretty empty next morning, eh? Too bad of Mary to" do that trick. Promised to meet a young man at 7 p.m. He waited until 9 a.m.; then he heard she had gone off with someone else. The day of retribution will come. It was rather annoying to find that your landlady had gone out for the day, and you hadn't had any dinner. Some persons want a lot of room on the Park benches. It is quite a common sight to see them lying on them full length. Perhaps the Council will supply hammocks for these tired folk. Some young ladies are particular. Don't sit on those dirty seats, Maria; remember we have new clothes on." j I think that some rowdy roughs should have a Park of their own. They are not fit to mingle with decent folk. You made your wife quite anxious by your not going home. Getting drunk and sleeping on the side of the road is Pi 9 hardly the thing. Good job you had a black dog for company. Tramroad. Some expressions by young ladies at the Park are amusing. Is my hat on straight, Lizzie?" asks No. 1. "No," remarks No. 2. No. 1 immediately seeks her reflection in the Park Pond. She didn't expect her reflection here though. Seeing her friends with bangles and rings, a Trecynon miss said she had left hers at home. I don't think. j

Aberdare District CounciL Special Meeting Convened, but no Quorum. On Tuesday evening a special meeting of the Council was held. There were present: Messrs. T. T: alter Williams (in the chair), W. Thomas (vice-chairman), A. P. Jones, Idwal Thomas, John Howell, Evan Jones, D. P. Davies, J.P., and D. Jackson Thomas, with Mr. Abra- ham Watkins (assistant clerk) and Mr. A. S. Morris (deputy surveyor).

Revision of Wards. The meeting was called at the re- quest of Messrs. John Howell, D. Jackson Thomas and Evan Jones, to further discuss the proposed re- vision of the wards. The Clerk had submitted a scheme which was not, however, adopted, and the Parliamentary Committee asked the Council for plenary powers to draft a scheme on geographical lines instead of on electoral lines. A special meeting held last week passed the Parliamentary Committee report, and it appears that some of the members adopted the commit- tee's recommendation without real- ising what it meant. Hence the step taken by Messrs. Howell, Thomas and Jones to convene this meeting to rescind that motion. It was necessary to have 10 mem- bers to make a quorum in this in- stance, and only 8 were present. The chairman waited for 15 minutes, and then left the chair. Mr. Howell said it ought to be dis- cussed at the next meeting. Mr. Evan Jones: But will the Par- liamentary Committee meet in the meantime? Mr T. Walter Williams There will be no committee meetings during the holidays. Mr. Jackson Thomas protested against the Parliamentary Com- mittee dealing with the matter, and the Chairman retorted that members ought to read the minutes so that they might know what they were do- ing. Mr. D. J. Thomas: We will call another meeting. Chairman: That wouldn't be fair now, during the holidays. Mr. D. J. Thomas: We shall call one after the holidays, and I hope you won't be back in time for it. (Laughter.)
