RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL—WEDNESDAY. Mr Edward Hughes presided over the ordinary meeting of the Council at the Workhouse.—A letter was read from Mr G D Harrison, clerk of the County Council, enclosing details of the cost of the construction of the bridge over the Dovey. The vouchers and accounts couid be inspected if it was required upon short notice. The county accounts were standing over until the exact amounts of the bridge had been ascertained, when the Council proposed to borrow money to pay for same, which would cover a term of years. The amount due from the District Council was £ 727.—Mr John Jones said that tke estimate was not to exceed 91,000 for the whole of the bridge.—The Clerk Yes, but it went up to £ 1,700.—The Clerk and the Surveyor were appointed to examine the vouckers. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. Mr Williams, surveyor, reported that the con- ditions laid down by Mr F M Campbell in his letter when promising to subscribe CS towards the re- pairing of the Pantglas and Brynllwydwyn road had been fulfilled. He asked for a joint com- mittee of the Rural Council and the Mallwyd Urban Council to visit Walton Bridge and report upon the parapet. A 7ft. 6in. fo-jtbridge was required to cross the brook between Troedy- rhiw and Cwmlychan Mawr. He was of opinion that Mr E II Thruston had encroached upon the Tower and Esgair road by erecting a fence near Pwllbudyr Cottage too near the centre of the high- way. He had written a letter to Mr Thruston and had received two letters from Mrs Thruston. She claimed the right to place the fence where it had been put, and based her claim on the fact that the site had been in use of the house near by for over three hundred years. She suggested the deferring of the matter until the spring, when the matters could be talked over and the question of the parish road by Esgair could be dealt with. If, however, it was decided to compel Mr Thruston to make this alteration there could be of course no question of his making improvements.—The Clerk was asked to make application to Mr Campbell for his pro- mised subscription.—As to the Walton bridge the Surveyor was asked to report and furnish an estimate of the cost after consultation with the Surveyor of the Mallwyd Urban Council. The Surveyor was also directed to construct a bridge over tho brook on the Troedrhiw road. The Council decided that the Surveyor should meet Mrs Thruston 'with respect to the road at Esgair.

Notice had been served on the owner (Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn), but nothing bad been doue.-The Council ordered a copy of the report to be sent to Sir Watkin.
