Jones presiding, Councillor ■ Dan Thomas said he understood that curates whorerforlllcd burial services did not receive the fees, but that the Rector of Merthyr got them. He thought an order should btI issued |that whoever performed the .service should Sjreceive the fees.—The chairman said that when ■people came to the Town Hall about a burial and wanted* a Church of England minister to omciatc at the funeral, they put down Church of England," and not any particular name.— The Controller said that the Vicar of Cyfarthfa received burial fees.—The Chairman: I am told that in some cases ministers and clergymen rive the fees to the poor people.—Councillor Dan I Thomas And curates might do the same thing to the poor people.—The Chairman said that with regard to the curates, perhaps their duties were defined when'they were engaged, and in Ithat case the Committee weuld have no voice Jin the matter.

CHIEF CONSTABLE'S SALARY.—At a meeting of tho Merthyr Watch Committee, on Friday, the Mayor presiding, the application of the Chief Constable (Mr. J. A.

M. Lloyd pointed out that additional work-had been cast upon the-Chief Constable since he was appointed, and Alderman J. M. Borry remarked that the police force was much more efficient now, and the cost less, than when the district was controlled by tho county. The Chief Constable,slie added, had done exceedingly good work, and had a very good staff of officers. -Councillorloyd moved that the Chief Coil- istable's salary, be increased by £40, instead of fi 20, in July next, making his salary £310, and gthus accelerating the maximum by one year. ■—Alderman Berry soconded.—As an amend- Sment, Councillor E. Edwards moved, and fflAlderman D. W. Jones seconded, that the scale agreed upon at the time of the Chief Constable's ■appointment be-adhered to.—On a division, the original proposition was carried.—P.C. Idris Da. vies was appointed inspector of weights and measures at a salary of £2- Jj COUNCILLOR DAN THOMAS C AND SUNDAY ■LABOUR.—A meeting of the Parks and Cemeteries Committee of the Merthyr Corporation was held on Friday, Alderman D. W. Jones presiding. The chairman' said he had seen the boats urchasoo by the Town Clerk, for Cyfarthfa Pond. They were very cheap, and would pay for themselves this season. He had personally tested one of the boats on the lake, and was perfectly satisfied, with it. The Chairman stated that the Chief Constable had pointed out that he could' not proceed against people for lemploying mdeailts without a licence until |the Council-had put themselves in order. The |six men employed at Qyfarthfa Park were Icalled gardeners'' in the Council's books, and under the old Act the Council were liable or licences. The men who were called gar- deners, said the Chairman, were also woodmen, and did ordinary: work.—It was agreed to take out a licence for the Surveyor's groom, and in regard to the other men to alter the name on the books from gardeners to labourers." —It was reported, that on the previous Sunday the Council's men repaired a boiler at Cyfarthfa Castle.—^Councillor Dan Thomas: I object to Sunday labour.-—Councillor D. J. Lewis: Is Mr. Thomas serious ?—Councillor Thomas Certainly (laughter). I do not work myself on Sundays, and people under the Council should not do work (laughter).—The Mayor said he would present a pair of Mandarin ducks to the Committee for the pond.—Councillor Dan Thomas: Very appropriate.

Jones were appointed j to represent the branch. It was decided I Ôve plenary powers to the de.egates attending H the council meeting of the South Wales and ft Monmouthshire Federation of Leagues at Swansea. Miss Griffiths (Higher Grade School) then gave an address on Liberalism in History. The speaker held that the Liberals deservo praise for the liberties we possess to-day. BY a comparison of the number of years during which the Conservative and Liueral parties bad held office, Miss Griffiths showed that the lalance of years rested with the Liberals. I* ouid, then, be claimed with justice that tb8 ra in which the country made unexampled advances in wealth, knowledge, morality and imperial power, as well as in every form of political reform had been, in the main, an 01" of Liberal administration. In domestic poiicy the Liberal party had succeeded in carrying its principles into legislation only in so far SO it had been enabled by circumstances to inij)Oso its will upon the House of Lords. The si,eaiet traced the continuous fight the party had made for the liberties of the people. The growth of Liberalism had been the growth of progress Liberals had always fought for freedom. By the freeing of the franchise, the Ballot Ac^ tho Repeal of the Com Laws, the Liberals rendered incalculable service to the people N«xt to political liberty, religious equality had been the chief principle of the Libera* party, and all the chief measures in this direction had been due to its efforts. All measures far the amelioration of the conditions of Labour ad been achieved through the activity Of the Liberals. The following participated in 8,0 interesting discussion :-Mrs. W iiliams (Fen* ydarren), Mrs. Tom Thomas, Miss Morgan (Cefn)# the President, Messrs. Jesse Taylor, Graii, illo Owen, and D. Price.
