OBJECTION TO ITS ENFORCEMENT Mrs. Morgan, owner of 208, Cardiff- Toad, Aberaman, and whose house has been condemned by the Council, object- ed to the Council's description of the house as reported in the "Aberdare leader." It was not devoid of air, and it was by no means dingy. She would invite inspection of the place. Mr. L. N. Williams: Are houses con- demned simply on the report of the in- spector? The Clerk explained that objectors to the closing orders were given every op- portunity to attend the Council meet- ings and state their objections. Mr. Williams: Are steps taken to con- firm the Inspector's report, or is the matter left entirely to his discretion? The Clerk explained that the houses were visited by the medical officer of health. Mr. D. J. Thomas: Do the Health Committee visit these places? I under- stand that one of the condemned houses in Cardiff Road has been inhabited for 30 years. Dr. Rees: All the houses were visited last December. Mr. D. J. Thomas held that a house in Crown Row, Cwmbach, should not be closed. He would propose that the houses in that street be visited again and reported on to the Council. Mr. W. Harper proposed, and Mr. Illtyd Hopkins seconded, that the clos- ing order be enforced. Mr. Thomas's motion was lost by four votes to eight. I REQUEST FOR A COAT. EVOKES HUMOROUS REMARKS. The Park Inspector wrote requesting 'the Council to provide him with an overcoat, which was a long felt want of his. Mr. D. J. Thomas proposed that the Health Committee should report on the matter, and Mr T. Walter Williams suggested that the old coat be turned, thereby making a turncoat of the wear- er. Eventually it was decided to grant the overcoat. BATHS AND BOATS. The Surveyor stated that the Baths in the Park did not pay. This year, as usual, he receipts dropped off after the athletic sports The income this year was 50 per cent. lower than last year. The boating was going all right. It was decided to discontinue the boat- ing and bathing at the end of the present month. APPROACH TO THE DESTRUCTOR. For the above contract the tender cf Mr. John Jones for < £ 280 2s. was ac- cepted. A WET AUGUST. The Surveyor said that it had rained every day in August except three, and he had had the benefit of it while on his holidays. HOSPITAL SITE. The Surveyor stated that the land in "Llwydcoed proposed as site for the In- fectious Diseases Hospital was not at all suitable. He would suggest that they revert to the old site, which is adjacent to the present building. The matter was left in the hands of the Hospital Committee. AN OBSTRUCTING PILLAR. Air. W. Thomas called attention to the pillar in front of the Prince Llew- elyn Inn, Aberaman. It was a source of great danger, and 'hould be removed. It was agreed that a deputation from 11 the Council should wait upon the owner of the property with regard to it. FOOTBALL IN THE PARK. The Park Inspector wrote stating that ^uoh inconvenience and damage was caused at the Park during the football season. Players were in the habit of digging holes for goalposts and of crossing into the plantation to fetch a stray ball. It was agreed that the Parks Com- mittee should visit the place and report. A SMART TURN-OUT. It was decided that the Council in- spect the Fire Brigade and the Hack- ney Carriages. The Clerk read reports of recent minor fires which had been extinguished by, the Brigade. !!r. L. N. Williams stated that in one Place, where a fire had occurred, the brigade were on the spot within three minutes of the outbreak. A JIBBER'S DAMAGE. The Council had sent a bill to a driver Earned Manning whose horse had hashed a pillar in Seymour-street. Mr. Manning now appeared before the °nucil, and stated that it was a pure aceident, for which he was sorry. He could ill afford to pay the damages. He had lost £ o in being obliged to sell the horse afterwards. Questioned by the Surveyor, Manning said that the horse backed against the pillar. It was a jibber. Thos. Williams wrote stating that his horse had accidentally knocked down a lamp-post in Trecynon. It was a pure accident. The horse was frightened by the electric cable apparatus. Mr. D. J. Thomas held that Manning should be exempt, it being not his fault. Mr. T. Walter Williams suggested that the Clerk should give the matter his judicial attention. He was not quite satisfied that it was an accident. Mr. Stonelake said that they should act in these matters just as if the pro- perty of a private individual was con- cerned. Mr. L. N. Williams considered that they should have a uniform rule in deal- ing with accidents of this kind. Mr. T. Bowen said he was in favour of exempting Manning, because there was no negligence on his part. Mr. H. H. Evans proposed that the man pay half the damage. It was carried that the Clerk should inquire into the matter. CHEAP WATER WANTED. The Secretary of the Aberaman Inst: tute and library wrote asking the Council to supply them with water at a reduced rate, on the ground that the consumption was not of the ordinary kind. The matter was referred to committee. ECHO OF AN OLD CONFLICT. Councillor Rees Llewelyn, J.P., wrote in reference to the statement made by him, when Councillor T. Walter Williams moved his resolution in reference to the staff at the Education Office. He still adhered to the statement he made then, viz., that the consent of Mr. Morris, the Director, had not been obtained to the re- solution moved by Mr. Williams. He suggested that the whole matter be re- ferred to committee. After a long discussion Mr. Llewelyn's suggestion was adopted, the committee to comprise the whole Council. I VARIOUS RESOLUTIONS. I Councillor E. Stonelake moved "That a new Standing Committee consisting of nine members be established to deal with and control the new Electricity Department." The Lighting Committee were appoint- ed, together with the chairman and vice- chairman of the Council. Councillor' Thos. Bowen moved That in view of the important work now be- fore the Parliamentary Committee, this Council do elect another member upon such committee." Councillor E. Stonelake was appointed thereon. Councillor T. Walter Williams moved That the 'Parliamentary Committee do consider the desirability of including in the Tramways Bill compulsory powers for the following purposes: (a) To levy a rate of twopence in the £ for Library Purposes (b) To secure a suitable frpe- hold site for a Central Library and to erect s-vjch building." The motion was carried. Councillor Illtyd Hopkins moved: (1) That Private Improvement Works be carried out to William Street, Abercwm- boi. (2) The like with respect to Jenkin Street, Abercwmboi. (3) That negoti- ations be opened with the Powell Duffryn Company with a view of purchasing or hiring that piece of land at the rear of Bronallt Terrace, Abercwmboi, for the purposes of a Recreation Ground.

- Football.
Football. BY SPECTATOR." ASSOCIATION. Aberdare opened the season proper on Saturday, when they encountered theii old rivals of Treharris on the latter's enclosure. Followers of the Darians did i-ot hold out much hopes of a victory on account of the many new faces in the eleven who were perfect strangers to each other. It occasioned no little sur- prise, especally down Treharris way, when it became known that Geo. Phil, lips had been captured by the Dare -Directors only the previous day. The All Whites had angled strenuously for his signature for some time. Indeed so certain were they of playing him in this match that his name was included in their list of players on Friday evening. The Dare executive tried a daring ex- periment in playing Murphy of Black, pool in the centre-forward position with- out a preliminary canter. The teams lined out as below: -Treharris Goal. Demmery; backs, Timmins and Han- cock; half-backs, Martin, Tag Williams and Owens; forwards, Pike, Hugh Wil- liams, J. T. Jones. Wallace Jones, and Newbould. Aberdare: Goal, Woodall: backs, Alf Goodwin and Chapman; 12" backs, Nash, Fatty Griffiths, and Alberc Cox; forwards, Tippett, Bradbury, Murphy, Geo. Phillips, and Hawkins. Referee, Mr. Russell, Swindon. O O n Treharris started before a good crowd, but Cox immediately set his forwards going. Timmins stopped what looked like a promising movement by Brad- burv. Taking play to the other end, Treharris forced a corner, but again Cox came to the rescue. A foul against the burly home centre gained relief for the Dairians, who however failed to gain much ground, Tagg Williams nipping in and heading well out of danger. Cox left the field to change his tattered nicks, and during his absence Wallace Jones, with no half-back to check his progress, broke through, and with a good screw kick beat Woodall all ends up._ Hawkins tapped the leather to Phillips, who looked all over a scorer, but Hancock charged him while he was taking aim for the net. Tippett was in- jured, and hereafter played in a dazed fashion, but he managed to put in one glorious shot, the ball, however, rising a few inches too high. Cox, who was always in the picture, tried his luck from twenty yards range, and lucky it was for Demmery that the leather went just outside. The old Kingswood Rover man gained applause for a magnificent save with his outstretched hand at the expense of a corner. Half-time score: Treharris, 1 goal; Aberdare, nil. o o o Aberdare restarted, but thanks to huge kicking by Tagg Williams, play for a short period hovered in the vicinity of Woodall. Goodwin and Co. were quite equal to the strain, and send- ing well upfield to Bradbury, the latter sprinted through, and Demmery again saved Treharris, but he failed to get the ball out of danger. The Dare inside right, meeting the sphere with his head, again sent goalwards, but a score for Aberclare was not to be. Alf Goodwin, who had been playing superb football, was unfortunate in being penalized for accidentally handling the ball just out- side the penalty area. Wallace Jones took the free kick, and with a hard drive beat Woodall. This was the beginning of Aberdare's troubles. Murphy had to leave the ground through an injury, and with Tippett still suffering from the effects of his collision, their attack was crippled. Wallace Jones added his third goal, and J. S. Jones when close in had no difficulty in beating Woodall. Time was called leaving Treharris winners by 4 goals to nil. o o o On Thursday last the Midweekers had a practice match, but no new talent was discovered. Badham was in good form, and ought to have no difficulty in getting his place at outside left for the season. Sam Parker with a little prac- tice and training promises to be the Sammy of old, and now that he has been reinstated as an amateur will be seen in the ranks of the Thursdays occasion- ally. BY a MUDDIED OAF." RUGBY. Mountain Ash v. Canton (Cardiff). This was the opening match for the Old Firm this season, and was played at the., Mount Athletic Grounds on Saturday.

The Pennarites had matters all their own way in the second portion of the game, and ran out winners to the tune of 21 points to ni The Old Firm's chances this season in connection with the Gla- morgan League Championship competi- tion are very hopeful. o o o Bert Whittle has secured his place as wing three-quarter in the ranks of the Merthyr Northern Union Club. Whittle has played for the past two seasons as full-back for the Hirwain Soccer eleven. He also played for the now disbanded Aberdare Northern Union club, and is also very popular as a runner. Other Hirwainites at Merthyr are Bert Davies and Dai Davies, both of whom play for the Merthvr Reserves Association F.C. o o o Ynysybwl are up again this season, and are again affiliated to the Pontv- pridd and District Union.

Dowlais subsequently managed to beat Jack Evans with a stray shot, but before the end further goals were netted by Stiggins (twice), and by Currie, last season's favourite shooter. Final score: Hirwain, 8 'goals; Dowlais Albions, 1 goal. o o o There are now four Soccer Clubs at Penrhiwceiber, viz.

The most prominent of the Bri- gade were Owen and Williams at back. ,u:l visiting goalie was entirely at sea, whilst their halves and forwards were simply ineffective.
