The Borough Engineer, Mr. T. F. Harvey, says that the progress of the scraper through the last length was very slow, owing to the large quantity of incrustation. There were stones in the main at different points. TRAMS TO CEFN.—On Wednesday, at a meeting of the General Purposes Committee of the Corporation, a letter was read from the Board of Trade, stating that they had extended the time for the completion of the electric tram line to Cefn to 1911, but declined to sanction the abandonment of that portion of the line between the Rising Sun and the Morning Sun, Cefn.—The latter anouncement was received with applause.

SCHOOL CHILDREN'S SKIN AFFECTIONS.—At I S a meeting of the School Management Committee, on Wednesday, Dr. Walsh, "Medical Inspector of School Children, reported that he had ex- amined 815 school children at Abermorlais, Aberfan, TrOiarris, etc., and fovind fifty cases of skin affections. Many suffered from itch on an average for five-and-a-half weeks, whereas, if properly treated, no child should so suffer longer than ten days. Many had Suffered from ringworm for seventeen weeks, whereas, no child should so suffer longer than two months, Supposing each child were two weeks out of school longer than he or she should be, and estimating that there were one thousand children so suffering out of 17.000 school children in the borough, he estimated that the Corporation lost two thousand shillings in grants,or £100 a year. which would be sufficient to pay for a school nurse.—Councillor Dan j Thomas said he would be sorry to learn that this state of things was general in all schools it would be a serious state of things.—Dr. Walsh said it would take him twelve months to go through all the schools in the borough, but he could not examine all the children in that period. A child had suffered from ringworm for fourteen months, and was out of school most of that time.—A committee was appointed to confer with Dr. Walsh and report. WATER SUPPLY TO CYFARTHFA CASTLE.—At a meeting of the Waterworks Committee, on Wednesday, Councillor David John presiding, the Borough Engineer (Mr. T. F. Harvey) reported upon the means of supplying water at Cyfarthfa Castle. He said it would be cheaper to make a connection with the 6-inch main in the Pandy-road, and lay a 4-inch main up the main drive to the front of the Castle, branching off with 3-inch pipes for hydrants, etc. This, however, would undoubtedly have the effect of diminishing the supply to Pen- rheolgerrig and Clwydyfagwr, which is not at present as efficient as he would like to see it. The proposed new 3-inch main from Pontsticill through Vaynor and Cefn was the only satis- factory solution of the difficulty of adequately supplying Heolgerrig, Clwydyfagwr, Vaynor and Cefn. Another method would be to extend the pipe from the Round House, Brecon-road, through which water is distributed from Peny- bryn filter beds and not from the higher level. He estimated the cost of a 4-inch main to the front of the Castle, with a 3-inch branch to terminate in the quadrangle near the coach- house, as follows :—From the Pandy-road up main drive, f 86 from the Round House through Park, f,.134.-It was agreed that the work be done at the cost of £ 86. DEATH OF MR. W. D. JONES, LLANO--K.-His many friends will learn with regret of the death of Mr. W. D.
