I have not the slightest doubt but that the ) number required would be forthcoming and a very able corps could be got up.The Chairman said if they decided to establish a life-saving corps, it would not mean any ccst to the Council. The only thing was that it was thought it would per- haps be more permanent if under the auspices of the C.,I. H. LI. Davies thought it would be better to defer the question until the next Councd, as it came rather sudden and no cne had thought of it.—Mr Lloyd Jones said that he be- lieved everyone would understand the question immediately, as it was quite simple. —Mr W. T. Jones suggested that as the Committee which had the question of forming a fire brigade were to sub- mit a report to the next Council, that this matter should be entrusted to that Committee and that they should report thereon.—Mr Lloyd Jones said he was quite willing for that course to be taken.— Mr H. LI. Davies then proposed and Mr R.
