The Board upheld the de- cision of the auditor as being lawful, but as the voucher bad since been found the money would be refunded. WORKHOUSE AMALGAMATION. A letter was read from the Clerk to the Newtown and Llanidloes Union, asking the Board to favour him with a copy of any resolution that they might pass upon the report of the committee before the 10th inst, a copy of which had already been sent to them. The report of the committee recommended the amalgamation of the four workhouses in the county as there would be a saving by the adoption of such a course.The Chairman asked if the Board would discuss the matter at this meeting or refer it to a committee to report upon at the next meeting. He bad a letter before him from the Guardians of the Caersws Union in favour of the amalgamation of the workhouses in the county.— Mr David Lewis was of opinion that it would be inconvenient for the Guardians from this end of the county to attend the meetings at a centre in the county.—Mr Edward Hughes was of the same opinion.—Mr David Evans was in favour of the proposal and moved that it be referred to a com- mittee consisting of seven members of the Board for consideration and to report to the next meeting. —Mr John Owen seconded the proposition.—Mr Edward Pritchard disagreed with the proposed scheme as he considered that it would mean extra expenditure.—Mr Edward Hughet proposed, and Mr N. B. Owen seconded that the letter be allowed to lie on the table.—Mr John Jones proposed that the matter be referred to a committee of the whole Board, and this was seconded by Mrs Lloyd.—Mr David Evans said that if this was done the matter would not receive such consideration as a small committee could pay to it.—A vote was taken and the proposition to refer it to a committee of seven was carried, and the following were appointed :— The Chairman, Messrs Edward Hughes, N. B. Owen, David Evans, Evan Evans, Ellis Hughes, and John Owens. REMUNERATION OF THE CLERK.

A large amount of extra work fell upon ths clerk through the new assessment, and it appeared that he had paid £50 for extra labour in connection with the same.—Mr John Rees proposed, and Mr E. Pritchard seconded, that. the committee's recommendation be adopted. An amendment proposed by Mr John Jones, and seconded by Mr David Lewis, to defer it for the presence of the clerk was agreed to.
