Llwynypia, and Clydach Vale Division. TO THE ELECTORS. Ladies and Gentlemen, As a. result of the re-election of Mr. Richard Lewis to the Aldermanie Bench, it will be your important duty on Mon- day next, the 15fh inst., to elect a Mem her to fill the vacancy. Three years ago you conferred upon In8 the honour of electing me without a con- test, and having served you faithfully for that period, I again most respectfully beg to solicit a renewal of your confidence. During the last three years, I had the honour of serving on the Finance, Local Government, and th,! County Asylum Committees, and I can conscientiously say that on these Committees, as well as at the Ordinary Meetings of the Council. I have at all times and in every lespect watched your interest to the best of my abilities. I have paid special attention to my duties on the Asylum House Committee, which has under its immediate care nearly 1,700 unfortunate inmates, of which no less than 15 were from our own division. During my term of office 80 Meetings of the above Committees and Council were held, of which I attended 78, and I ven- ture to think that this almost perfect at- tendance is a convincing proof of an .honest effort on my part to faithfully and loyally discharge my duties as your representa- tive. The contest will be short, but perhaps sharp, and I confidently leave the. issue to your intelligent consideration, firmly be- lieving that, three years' service on the Council will not be forgotten on the day of the Poll. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Yours, faithfully, JAMES EVANS. Cambrian House, Blaenclydach. 570 -C- c OUNTI, COUNCIL BYE ELECTION. To the Electors of Penygraig—No. 7 Ward.

Election Addresses. My general impressions are on progres- sive lires, favouring rational reform, eiH- ciency, and a consistent, economy. Hav- ing some knowledge of Sanitary and T."h- nical matters, I would be able to assist in any effort put forth for the preservation of the public health, and any measures in- stituted for the promotion of Technical Education, which is a pressing question having regard to the active foreign com- petition which is seriously affecting British commerce. I would advocate the placing of Technical Schools in convenient centres, fully equipped, so as to encourage full and regular and continued study, directed by an efficient staff. I believe in the principle of the greatest good for the greatest number," and will feel it my duty to aid any measure calculated to benefit the people at large. I confidently appeal to you for your sup- port and interest in the forthcoming Election, and, if you return me, shall do all I can to merit your confidence I am, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant, REES LLOYD. Penygraig, April 9th, 1901. 57] GLAMOHGAN COUNTY COUNCIL. Bye-Election, 1901. TO THE ELECTORS Of Blaenrhondcla, Tynewydd, Blaenycwm, T'reherbert, and Penyrenglyn. Ladies and Gentlemen, It is known to you that William Morgan, Esq., J.P., Tynewydd, was some time ago returned unopposed to represent us on the County Council, and in conse- quence, since, of his elevation to the Aldermanie Bench, a vacancy occurs :n the above district. At the request and sincere wish of a large circle of Electors of the above dis- trict, I have, after due consideration, accepted, and now offer to you my ser- vices. I have had the honour and pleasure to represent you as a. Guardian of the Pont- ypridd Union for the past three years, and I herewith sincerely thank you for returning me unopposed for the next term. I consider that the valuable experience I have gained in connection with this Union will be of material help (if returned) to carry out the duties in connection with the County Council and especially the Asylums, which are governed by the County Council The Workhouse and Asylum, T consider, are sister institutions, both having; to do with the body and soul of the human being, end my close connection and sym- pathy with the inmates of the Workhouse, as well as with our children at the Cot- tage Homes, has given me the experience necessary for the proper care and welfare of the inmates at the Asylum, and when it is considered ft at our Union has nearly 300 jnmates in the Bridgend Asylum I consider that no one is more fit to look after their interest, than a Guardian who has had experience with the clothing, the feeding, and the nursing of these unfortu- nate people. The financial connection is also close and important our Union pays something like £ 30,000 a year towards the Asylum, and as a member of the Finance and Sub- Finance Committee1 of the Pontypridd Union, I have gained a, large amount of experience, and (if returned) I will watch the interest of the Union and consequently the district in this direction to see tha"; the money is properly and fairly dealt out towards the comfort of the inmates. There are other committees and various duties in connection with the County Council, but inasmuch as several Public Meetings will be held on my behalf during the week throughout the district where these matters will be treated unon, suffice to say that if you do me the honour of returning me at the forthcoming Elec- tion, I will do anything and everything in my power to carry out the duties of the Council, as well as the wish of our district, to the best of my ability, and I hope to vour entire satisfaction. I remain, Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Obedient Servant', ENOCH DAVIES. The Stores, Treherbert, April 8th, 1901. 563 COUNrry COUNCIL BYE ELECTION. Electoral Division of Treherbert.

As is now widely known, the duties of the County Council are mainly administra- tive among the most important are the making, maintenance, and improvement of Roads and Bridges; the management of Lunatic Asylums and County Schools the control (joint with the Magistracy) of the Police, Technical Instruction, Supervision, and the working of various Acts, including the Food and Drugs; Acts, Allotments, and Small Holdings Acts, Weights and Measures Acts, and Explosives Acts. My life-long residence in the district, the honour of representing you on the late Local Board, and now Urban District Council, for upwards of thirteen years, has made me fully acquainted with the needs, and requirements of the Division.
