Mountain Ash District Council.
Mountain Ash District Council. On Tuesday, Air. G. H. Hall, J.P., in the chair. Other members present were: Messrs. Thomas Jones, J.P., Bruce Jones, W. Millar, David Rogers, Griffith Evans, J.P., Geo Neighbour, Noah Bowles James Evans, W. Lam- burn, Wm. Davies, with Messrs. A. Pincombe (clerk), F. Stock (account- ant), W. G. Thomas (surveyor), and H. T. Jones (sanitary inspector). Ynysybwl Allotments. The Clerk reported that he had met Councillors D. Rogers and .lames Evans at Inysy- bwl to go into the matter of allot- ments. They interviewed Cot..J. Jones, agent to Mr. Crawshay, land- owner. They got an assurance from Col. Jones that he was prepared at all times to consider applications direct from individuals for allotments. The question of fencing would be arranged satisfactorily. Therefore there would be no need for the Council to interfere. -The Clerk added that another ques- tion was broached, viz., land for sew- age. Col. Jones met the deputation very reasonably, and promised to com- municate with the Council after he had consulted Mr. Crawshay. Arrange- ments were come to whereby land could be obtained for tipping. Mr. Bruce Jones moved that the report be adopted and Mr Thomas Jones seconded.— Carried. Cinema Offence.-The Surveyor had reported that an offence had been com- mitted at the Empire, Abercynon, con- cerning the exposure of film spools on '■ the floor. The Clerk had written to the manager, who now replied that he did not agree with the surveyor's re- port.—Mr. Bruce Jones: He does not say what particular statement he does not agree with.-Clerk: No.—The Sur- veyor repeated that he saw two spools on the floor when he visited the oper- ating room.—The Clerk was instructed to emphasize the letter of warning, and send copies to the proprietor and meager. Closing of Public Houses. — Ihere was a letter from the Central Control Board (Liquor Traffic) enclosing copies of an Order whieh had been made by them for the control of the sale and supply of intoxicating liquor in the district.—Mr. Bruce Jones: I think we all know from experience now that the Order is in force. (Laughter.) — Mr. Bowles: This brings back pleasant memories of a former discussion. Conference. The Chairman and Clerk were authorised to attend a con- ference of local authorities at Cardiff, convened by the National War Savings Committee. Probationer Nurse. Three appli- cants for above post appeared before the Council. Miss Blodwen Davies, 41 Consort Street, Miskin, was appointed. Butchers and Slaughterhouse. A deputation from the local Butchers Association, consisting of Mr. F. J. Mills, Mountain Ash; Mr. J. M. Howells, Penrhiwoeiber, and Mr. E. Jones, Abercynon, appeared before the Council to ask permission to continue using the slaughter-house leased from the Council by Mr. Mills. j The Chairman pointed out th$t the 12 months' notice given to Mr. Mills had now expired, and a month's exten- sion granted. Mr. Mills, however, had refused to give up the key and hand over possession. v Mr. Mills: The Surveyor knows the reason very well. I had hundreds of pounds worth of meat there. Chairman: You ought to have hand- ed it over when you cleared the place. Mr. Mills: Perhaps I ought to. I thought of asking your indulgence to allow me to go on. We have used the: slaughterhouse for years, and we have no other place to slaughter. There arc small slaughterhouses in Aberdare and Merthyr, notwithstanding the fact that I there is a public slaughterhouse in Aberdare. Mr. Bruce Jones told Mr. Mills that he was defying the Council on one hand and asking a favour on the other. He ought to have handed in •the key and then come before the Coun- cil. Mr. Thomas Jones said that Mr. Mills ought to have handed in the key after he had cleared out the stuff from the slaughterhouse. Mr. E. Jones supported the appeal, remarking that Mountain Ash and Pen- rhiweeiber butchers had no place to kill except at the slaughterhouse now leased to Mr. Mills. If the butchers would be obliged to take cattle to Aber- dare or Pontypridd, meat would be dearer by about ^d. per lb. Mr J. M. Howells further supported. In reply to questions the deputation said it would take 12 months at least for the Butchers' Association to erect I a new slaughterhouse. They would like to meet and consider the matter before giving a definite reply. The deputation having retired, Mr. W. Lamburn thought the Council would do well to defer the matter to enable the Butchers' Association to meet and decide upon the erection of a new building. Mr. W. Da vies agreed. After further discussion it was re- solved that Mr. Mills be ordered to hand over the key forthwith, and that the slaughterhouse be let to him on a weekly tenancy for two weeks, pending a meeting of the Association, and the next meeting of the Council. Condition of the Slaughterhouse. — The Surveyor read from his report a statement showing that the slaughter- house in question, which was originally converted from two dwelling-houses, situated in Duffryn Street, was in a very bad state. One of the walls was overhanging, and the whole building showed signs of disturbance. To pull the wall down would mean re-building the whole premises, and that would cost anything from L700 to kl,000.- Mr. W. DaN-Ies: That is out of the question.—Mr. W. Lamburn Anyone who has lived near the place will never dream of rebuilding that slaughter- house. Eternal Daylight.—The Clerk an- nounced the receipt of a letter from Mr. H. W. M. Willett, re Daylight Sav- ing Bill, and remarked there was no need to read it inasmuch as the Bif, w&s passed.—Mr. Rogers: I thought 'Mr. Willett was dead.—Clerk: This is the son.—Mr. Bruce Jones The father is in eternal daylight. (Laughter.) Satisfied.—It was reported that the Aberdare Council had now completed some sewage beds down the valley, and steps had been taken to stop the letting of sluices opening into the river at Penrhiwceiber. Inspector's Complaint. The Sani- tary inspector reported that in Mr. W. T. Wilcox's (butcher) stable in Duffryn Street, Mountain Ash, S pigs were kept in one stall, 2 pigs in another, and 3 calves in the yard. He reported the matter to Mr. Wilcox, who replied: "Where am 1 to keep them?"—The Clerk was directed to send a letter of warning to the offender, and to add that proceedings would be taken if the offence were re- peated. Pigs and Pigs' Cot. Notices had been served by the Sanitary Inspector on several persons re piggeries kept in close proximity to dwelling houses. Mr. Rees Harries, 15 Woodland Ter- race, Mountain Ash, one of the recip- ients of such notice, said he had kept pigs in the same spot for 22 years, and it seemed strange that the place should now be discovered to be a nuisance after so many years. He asked permission to continue the piggery until the pigs would be' fit to kill. The Inspector said that the objection to the pigs' cot was that it was within about 28 ft. of a dwelling. It was kept clean.—Mr. Millar moved, and Mr. Lamburn seconded, that 6 months be granted.— This was agreed to, the same resolution to apply to other like cases, provided the cots were kept clean. Penderyn.—The Surveyor in his fortnightly report stated that all the reservoirs were overflowing .-Mr Thos. Jones: Including Penderyn? (Laugh- ter.)—Surveyor: Not yet.
__-__-----_-_--THE LATE MR.…

- Licensed Victuallers Conference.
Licensed Victuallers Con- ference. A meeting of the delegates repre- senting Licensed Victuallers' Associa- tion throughout Wales-the No. 12 Dis- trict of the National Defence League of England and Wales—was held on Friday, May 5th, at the Lee Hotel, Pen- rhiwceiber. The Welsh Associations were almost all represented, there being about 50 delegates in attendance. Mr. T. Evans, Lee Hotel, Penrhiwceiber, pre. sided, supported by Councillor John Morris, Neath, vice-chairman; Mr. R. Phillips, Onllwyn, treasurer; Mr. Harry Rogers, Swansea, league representative, and the secretary, Mr. W. R. Jones, Aberdare.The Pontypridd Association desired the convening of a mass meeting to protest against the order of the Con- trol Board imposing further restrictions, and which becomes operative on May 8th. There was a lively debate as to the utility of convening such a meeting, and eventually Mr. John Evans (Pontypridd Association) proposed an amendment:- "That the No. 12 District be asked to communicate with clubs, representatives of breweries, and all having an interest in the licensed trade, enquiring as to what action they proposed taking in re- lation to the unfair impositions brought about under the Control Board Order, and that the organisation heartily sup- port any steps taken by such bodies to protest against the same."—This ";1..8 seconded by Councillor D. Williams, Pontypridd, and unanimously agreed to. —It was further resolved that power to take action in supporting any measures to protest be given the Execu- tive Committee.—Among other matters dealt with was the desirability of ap- proaching Assessment Authorities for some concession in relation to assess- ments in consequence of the hardships brought about by the New Control Board Order. The question of further approaching brewers in relation to the inequitable division of war tax on beers was relegated to the Executive Com- mittee to deal with.—An interesting dis- cussion took place also concerning the anomaly existing in the statutory dis- allowances made by the Income Tax Commissioners. It was pointed out that a Licensed Victualler working under a heavy assessment on his premises was frequently disallowed some hundreds of pounds a year as an outgoing. In other words his profits were inflated-by the disallowance for domestic use of the premises—for Income Tax charges under Schedule D.—In view of the present critical times and the difficulty to secure redress in financial matters owing to the war, it was resolved to defer the matter.
THE ABERDARE LEADER."
THE ABERDARE LEADER." This week, for the first time, the Leader" appears in a slightly re- duced size. This step is rendered necessary by the. decreased supply and the increased price of paper. The price of paper is now considerably more than double what it was before the war and the maximum figure, probably, is not vet reached. All the essential features of the "Leader" will he maintained, and readers will lose little or nothing by the altered size. The usual district news will, possibly, be curtailed, and correspondents are asked to condense their contributions as much as possible. Readers are requested to buy their paper from the same newsagent or newsboy every week. This will help the publishers to estimate the num- ber of copies actually required. The circulation of the Aberdare Leader" is now close on 10.000, and the unsold oopies do not amount to more than 2| per cent. If casual buyers will give a regular order, even this waste of 2t per cent. can be wiped off. No poetry can he published unless original and of exceptional merit. All poetical contri- butions of a personal nature will he charged for as advertisement matter.
ABERDARE DIVORCE CASE.
ABERDARE DIVORCE CASE. In the Divorce Division on Monday, Robert Thomas, reservist in the Royal Marine Light Infantry, asked for a "di- vorce from his wife, Ellen, on the ground of her misconduct with a man named Plowman, a master baker, at Dare Villas. Aberdare. The suit was iindefended.Petitionei, stated he mar- ried respondent in 1907. One day he unexpectedly arrived home and found his wife in the front room with a strange man. She would give no ex- planation, and subsequently witness found the respondent had gone to live at Aberdare with Plowman, who served them with bread.—Respondent wrote from Aberdare to her husband asking him to let her come back and live with him once more as she was heartbroken.

They gave the name of 7 Mr. and Mrs. Plowman, and lived to- gether in the same room.—A decree nisi was granted with custody of the children.

ABERDARE CHAMBER OF TRADE.…
ABERDARE CHAMBER OF TRADE. Lnder the auspices of the Aberdare Chamber of Trade, Mr. R. C. Walshaw. of Huddersfield, ex-president ot the National Chamber of Trade, addressed a well attended meeting at the Menn.r- ial Hall, Aberdare, on Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the local Chamber of Trade. Mr. 1. W. Griffiths presided. A reception was held at Miles' Restaurant earlier in the evening. Mr. Walshaw dealt with tne question of trade and employment after the war, and emphasised the ur- gency of putting every ounce of Effort. into the prosecution of the war to successful conclusion. He was not one of those who believed that Germany was now manufacturing with a view 1,0 dumping their wares on the British- market at the close of the war; they had something else to do now. The nation that could recover the more quickly after the war was the one that could produce the more quickly, and none could do that better than the British Empire, for they possessed the material resources, and he looked for- ward to the prevention in future of these resources being captured by the German people.—The event was or- ganised by Mr. W. R..Tones, tary of the Chamber.
