VOTE OF CONDOLENCE. Before proceeding with the ordinary business of the Council, the Chairman moved a vote of con- dolence with the family of the late Dr Edward Jones.-Mr M G Williams seconded, and the pro- position was carried in silence. LLWYNGWRIL WATER SUPPLY. The committee appointed at the last meeting to make inquiries into the claims of riparian owners at Llwyngwril for compensation for water rights reported that they had decided to ask Mr Gillart to proceed with the plan and all requisite pre- liminary arrangements in connection with the water supply. — The Council approved of this course, and the Clerk stated that the committee intended to meet again at Llwyngwril and to see tthe persons interested. GARTHISSAF. It was decided to consider the letter of Sir 'Richard Wyatt in regard to the above place at the .next meeting.-The Chairman said he knew Dr Hugh Jones felt deeply in this matter. He had written to the papers stating that he would advise that meeting to take proceedings in order that he might have an opportunity of proving on oath iwhat be had stated in his report. FOR THE TENANT. It was stated that Lord Harlech had consented to spend a sum of £150 on a farm at the request of the Council in order that the tenant might be able to remain at his old home. ESGEIRIA FARM. The owner stated be bad been unable so far to come to an agreement with the tenant as to haulage. When that matter was settled the im- provements asked by the Council would be carried out He therefore asked that the matter be de- ferred for a month with this object. The Council agreed to this course. A BREEZE. Some discussion took place as to the sanitary arrangements of certain cottages at Llwyngwril owned by Mrs Williams, Bryntirion, in reference to which it was stated that nothing had been done.- The Surveyor said that Mr Williams, the son, had appeared before the magistrates when the pro- ^aedings were heard, and had been fined. He did think they could now do better than accept his '•word that the requirements would be attended to ^at an early date.-Mr Cadwaladr Roberts said that complaints were frequently made at Llwyngwril in reference to these houses. It was regrettable that after proceedings were taken and an ordermade that nothing was being done. He believed the matter should be looked into.-Mr Richard Jones observed that since a conviction was made by the magistrates it should certainly be inquired into.- Mr M G Williams (the agent) remarked that there ,ere several places in the district which had been Jepprted upon before this and nothing done.-Mr .C Roberts Two blacks will never make a white. '•Jfr Williams The work will be commenced nex week. why are the others not forced in the same wav ?— Mr R Jones said it seemed to him that Mr M G Williams was at the meeting to represent some other people besides the ratepayers in general. He had stated that there were other places which were in a worse state. It would be a ^od thing for him to mention them in order that the Council act Mr Roberts had pressed that matter, would better serve the ratepayers by doing same thing—Mr M G Williams said what he re- erred to had been reported upon by the medica officer.—The Surveyor said that a "port upon all the places reported upon during the year would be submitted to the next meeting-The Council then agreed to accept Mr Williams's assurance that this work will be carried out next week" LITTLE TETTER FROM THE BARMOBTH COLNUL. A TOO MUCH. The L.ocal Government Board wrote enclosing a letter received by them from the Barmouth Urban Council in reply to the communication sent to the Board bv the Urban Council complaining; ofthe carting of house refuse into the rural district.. Referring to vour favour of the 28th ult, enclosing copy of a letter addressed to your honourable Board by the Dolgelley District Council on the 18th ult I am now directed by this Council to state m eply thereto that they consider the complain s of he Rural Council entirely groundless. As will be seen by the agreement, copy of which is herewith enclosed, the Council has made every provision possible for the disposal of the town refuse in such a way as not to create a, nuisance to anybody. And the Rural Council have been more than once pressed to inform the Council of any evidence they have in support of their allegation that the terms of this agreement have not been carried out by the contractor, but up to the present they have declined to do anything beyond making public charges of a general character, and this Council cannot help feeling that the action, of the Rural Council in this respect is anything but fair. As the agreement shows the contractor is only to cart away the ordinary street sweepings and house refuse, and it is to the best of this Council's information and belief grossly untrue to state that he ever carries away the contents of privies fiom the town; and I would particularly invite your honourable Board's attention to the Rural Council's conduct in making public a charge of this sort without bringing for- ward one tittle of evidence in support of it.- WM GEORGE." The letter sent by the Rural Council to the Local Government Board (already reported) was also read.—The Clerk said the Barmouth Council, notwithstanding the statements made by two members of that Council regarding the offensive effluvia, stated that the charges were entirely groundless. The two gentlemen who met the cart on the way to the Council were not present that day, and for that reason he believed that the further discussion of the matter could be usefully deferred to the next meeting. The Chairman pointed out that all refuse was not carted through the street. That part of the letter was quite wrong.-The Clerk said that if they had cleared that point then it could be explained. But to say that the evidence of two members of the Council was groundless was too much.-The Chairman One of the members of the Council has told me that he never said that.- Mr C Roberts thought it would be best to explain that point to the Barmouth Council.—Mr R Hughes proposed that the matter be deferred to the next meeting for the attendance of the two members.— Mr M G Williams seconded, and the motion was carried.—Mr C Roberts said the Council did not know that it was necessary to cover the cart until the Rural Council called their attention to it.—The Chairman I am not sure about that.—Mr Roberts I am quite sure.
