-r LAMPETER. Business.—Bibby's Oake Stores have been removed to White Hart, c/o Mr. Jenfein Howell. The Institute.-At a cost of about £50, a magnificent billiard table has been erected at the Men's Institute Lecture.—On Friday evening, the Rev. D. Workington, Llangeitho, delivered a lec- ture on "Daniel Rowlands" at St. David's College. The Rev. Professor Thomas pre- sided. Personal.—Mr. T. G. Jones, son of Mr. Tivy Jones, Rhoslwyn will leave in April for Colombo, Ceylon, where he has accepted a post on the "Ceylon Times," the leading paper in that island. Mr. Jones is now en- gaged on the "Sheffield Daily Independent." Improvemen,ts.-&ring the end of this month three old established premises in Harford-square will be demolished and a fine block of new buildings for shops will be built on the site for Messrs. Walter Davies, D. Jones, watchmaker, and E. W. Richards. Tea and Concert.—On Tuesday afternoon week the members of St. John's Church, Pen- trebach, were regaled with a sumptuous tea kindly provided at Doldrement through the generosity of Miss Bankea-Price. In the evening, a concert was held at Glynhir, the spacious room adjoining, having been lent for the occasion by Mrs. Williams. Despite somewhat unfavourable weather, a large audience assembled, including several friends from Lampeter. Punctually to time the conductor, Mr. W. Lewis, C.M., Bryn-road, opened the proceedings, and during the even- ing lie kept crowded gathering in a good mood by his humouous and appropriate re- marks. Indeed, Mr. Lewis did his part ex- cellently, and his genial presence seemed to give an impetous to every item, and to in- spire the artistes with confidence. The pro- gramme. which consisted of 60 items, was creditably gone througjh. the competitions reaching a very high standard. The Pentre- bach Glee Party was in fine form, and re- flected credit upon Mr. E. Lumley, the lead- er, the Juvenile Choir (conducted by Mr. W. W. Jones) also encaptured the audience by their masterly renderings, "The Farmyard" being enthusiastically encored. The boot- black competition for young ladies elicited several contestants, and the fair maidens ex- celled themselves in this useful, yet some- what despised art. Taken altogether, the concert must be regarded as one of the best ever held at Lampeter, and those who were not present missed a veritable treat. The proceedings came to a close at 11.30 with the usual votes of thanks and the singing of the Welsh National An- them, the solo being taken by Mr. A. Davies.

The subject is Mrs. Clara Perry, of 168, Bucknall New Road, lianley, who says:— For nearly twenty years I suffered from biliousness and allied ailments. I used to vomit a quantity of nasty green bile, and when these attacks were on I was fearfully dizzy and weak. All was confused. My eyes would be dimmed, and palpitation would be very bad. One of the many doctors I have tried told me 1 had bilious fever. "Eight or nine doctors I tried in St. Helens and Hanley, and all they could do was to give me relief for a day or so, when I should be as bad as ever again. Sometimes when I had been to the doctor's surgery my bilious- ness would be so bad that 1 became quite blind for a time. I was unable toO see any-

The monthly meeting of the Rural Dis- trict Council v, i-el(i on Monday at the Board Room, Union Workhouse, when there were present Mr. Wm. Morris, Cyfoethy- brenm (presiding); Messrs. E. J.

The following letter was read from Mr. H. W, Morgan, Capel B"angor I beg to state that the cuing heap. complained of was re- moved on the 14th Feb., but has been allow- ed to accumulate ever since. I consider that it is simply child's play. Aa regards brotherly love, I quite agree with you. I always believe that men shoald practice dur- ing the v.eek what they profess on Sunday. Do to all men as you would they should do unto you.' (Laughter.) The letter was handed to the Inspector, who enquired whether he was supposed to learn the verse by the next meeting. Road Repair. A letter was read from Sir Pryse Pryse, Bart, stating he was walling to allow the Council to take stone from the old heaps at Pencefn to iopair the Brogynin road on pay- ment of 4d. per load, on condition that the road to Pencefn House was made good and sound after 300 loads had been carried away. Several members thought they should have the stone free of cost, inasmuch as they would be used in improving roads lead- ing to Sir Pryse's farms. It was also said that on previous occasions the charge was 3d. a load.—Mr. Richard Thomas and Mr. John Richards were again appointed to wait upon Sir Pry-se, in the hope of securing bet- ter terms. Tycoch Bridge. The Cambrian Railway Company wrote stating that the necessary metalling to the approaches to the bridge near Tycoch, Bow btrcet, had been done. Llanbadarn Bridges. Mr. David Mason, iilaendoiau Farm, Llan- badarn x awr, wrote stating that about two ago the Council instructed their sur- veyor to erect two crossings at Ddoldai over the -b ullbrook. He erected one, but died be- fore commencing the other. He (Mr. Mason) would be glad if the Council would instruct their present Surveyor to erect the other, as the temporary crossing which was erect- ed had been destroyed by recent floo&A letter was aiiso read from Mr. John Jones, Ty Mawr, Pwllhobi, drawing attention to the dangerous state of a bridge over the Full- brook near the railway crossing, leading to his land called part of Ddolhalog. He hop- ed the Council would have the bridge re- paired.—ihe Surveyor was directed to have the bridge mentioned in Mr. Mason's letter erected. Medical Officers' Reports. The annual reports of the Medical Officers were submitted by the Clerk, but it was de- cided that they be fhst printed in the news- papers befoie being considered. Dr. J. Arthur Hees, Llanilar, reporting for the southern division, said the district had an average number of 4.2 persons per house. The population, according to last census was 6,031. The number of births registered was 121 (66 males and 55 females), an annual birth rate of 20 per 1,000 against 16.75 and 21.7 per 1,000 for 1903 and 1902 respectively. The number- of deaths regis- tered v. as 87 (38 males and 49 females), an annual death rate of 14.5 per 1,000 against 17 and 16 per 100 the years 1903 and 1902. Eleven deaths occurred under one year, one under five years, nine deaths were of persons over 80 years of age, 36 deaths were 65 years of age and upwards. The mor- tality of infants was 207 and 5.4 per 1.000 in 1903 and 1902. Phthisis accounted for nearly one-saxth or total number of deaths, which compared favourably with tha t of last year-one-fifth-and was identical with the general rate for England and Wales. Whooping cough prevailed to an alarming extent during tlio past two months of the and t --t infants succumbed to its com- plications. Six deaths were attributed to cancer against eight and six for 1903 and 1902. Ho bel-.eved that scientists were on the eve of important disooveries as to the cause of that terrible and loathsome disease. Three deaths were due to epidemic influenza, Apparently, the present epidemics weie mild- er than th08 ,lieh ravaged the country twelve to fifteen years ago, but he believed those mild forms constituted a real source of danger, inasmuch as many pat.ents did not feel ill enough to way indoor* --t the com- mencement, and pursued their ordinary oc- cupations. Th? exposure at that stage brought complications which the system, al- ready weakened, was less able to withstand. Twenty seven oases of an infectious nature were notified, but out of the 24 cases of scarlet fever no deaths occurred. Systema- tic inspections were made of houses as to sanitary improvements. Various defects were found, and 150 notices were ser- ved. In most cases the notices were com- plied with. Nothing had been done with regard to Capel Sion Water Supply, though the matter waa urgent, and the improve- ment would mean but a little outlay. The Council's attention had been repeatedly called to the well at Figure Four, but noth- ing had been done to improve matters. Pont Llanio, after a lonoj delay, had secured an ample supply of wholesome water, and it was time that Lianrhystyd village should secure a proper water supply, as the pre- sent system-pumps and wells at the rear of houses—« as not a commendable one, owing to surfand other impurities, a large num ber of houses in the neighbourhood of Bethel, and Penrhiivtr-'wsnant were hardly fit for human habitation, but owing to great scar- city of houses general demolishment was im- placticab'-e. Many houses were in need of repairs Llangwyryfon. The Llanilar water supply was unsatisfactory in many ways. The supply was deficient during the summer months, owing to leakage of the pipes. An additional discharging pipe should hs placed in the village. Were it not

liquor <&r not conducting his house properly, he (the chairman) for one would be the very first to take away his license, so he had bet- ter look out.—Applicant promised to im- prove, and the license was then renewed. The Plough Inn.—The Chief Constable opposed the renewal of the licence of the Plough Inn on the grounds that the licence was not required by the character and nec- essities of the neighbourhood and locality in which the premises were situated; that the said licensed premises were structurally un- fit to carry oh the trade of a licensed victu- aller.-lhe Chief Constable said there were three courses open to the bench: either to refer the matter to the Quarter Sessions; Compensation, or renew the licence.—Sergt. Thomas said the Plough Inn was 25 yards from the nearest public-house. There were four public houses on the same side of the street, and four on the other side. Within a radius of 100 yards there were about nine fully licensed houses, 3 of which were the chief hotels in the town. He visited the house, and found it was an old building, with a low headroom; the ceiling of the rooms upstairs having only a height of 7ft. 6 inches. The door leading from a passage measured five feet ten inches. The floor was very rough, windows small and dark and ventilation, in his opinion, was deficient. He did not think it a fit house to be licensed. Nothing had been done since the last Court. -Cr,ots,s-exan-,iiied by Mr. D. F. Lloyd, who applied for the renewal on behalf of the owners, witness said that the house was ex- tensiveiv used on market and fair days. No repairs "had been commenced when he visited the house at 8 a.m. that morning. He had received no complaint with regard to any in- f convenience on market days. He could not say whether it would be inconvenient to the public if the house was closed on market and fair days.—In reply to the Chief Constable witness said the passage was from four to five feet wide. and there was no other means to get into the house.—The bench intimated that notice should have been sent with re- gard to the necessary repairs to the owner, Mr. Jones, Miilbank.—Mr. Lloyd, address- ing the bench, said that with regard to the first objection the house was much frequented by the farmers, and as for the repairs he had no doubt the landlord would put everything right. The house had always been found suitable and if the license was refused lie did not know what the farmers would do.- Renewed. The Crown Inn.—Three objections were laid down by the Chief Constable against the renewal of the license of the Crown Inn, viz., that the house was not required; that it was structurally unfit; and that, on 21st January, 1904, the licensee was convicted for selling beer to a child under 14 years of age. —Sergt. Thomas said the house was situated in High-street. It was fully licensed and doing a fair business. There were nine pub- lic houses within a radius of 100 yards. The passage to the house through which horses had to be taken was about 4tt. or 5 ft. wide. Customers had also to go through the pas- sage and he considered it was dangerous. Witness then described the house, and said the windows were small and the rooms rather dark.—Referring to the third objec- tion. the clerk (Mr. Daniel Watkins) pointed out that there was no conviction, but it was taken as dismissal on payment of costs.— Cross-examined by Mr. D. F. Lloyd, witness said that this house was used extensively on fair days. There was accommodation for about 30 or 40 horses. During his time the house had been properly conducted.—Mr. Lloyd called upon ex-Sergt. Thomas to give evidence. Mr. Thomas said he had been in Lampeter for six years and the Crown was about the best house in the town. He was no architect and could not say anything about the structure. He knew of no com- plaint against it, nor of any accident. It was required on Market days, perhaps, more than anyone of its size. lo was well con- ducted.—Cross-examined, witness admitted that a complaint had been made by the Town Council with regard to leaving carts m front of the house. "But," continued wit- ness, "the Town Council is so changeable." (Laughter). It was very much frequented by farmers, as they preferred old houses to the hotels.—In giving their decision with regard to the Plough and the Crown the bench said they would renew both licensee. They did not see why the owners were not there, and said the doors should be put at proper height If they did not carry out the improvements they would consider the matter from another point of view next time. The Neuadd Arms.—Two objections were made against the renewal of the license of the Neuadd Arms, viz., that the house was not required and that it was structurally unfit.—Mr. D. F. Lloyd, solicitor, appeared for the applicant, Mr. Thomas.—Sergt. Thomas said this house was situated ir Bridge-street being 25 yards from the near- est public house, and there was only one within a radius of 150 yards. It was a smal house, doing small business. There were tw< rooms for the use of the public. The from one was a good room, and the ceiling was feet. There was a good kitchen, but thi was used jointly by customers and tenants Only one on the ground floor was used ex clusively for the public.-Granted. The Ivy Bush.—Mr. Prosser, Carmarthea made an application for the renewal of th license of Ivy Bush.—The Chief Constabl opposed on the grounds that it was not re quired, and that the house was structurall unfit.-C,olonel Davies-Evans did not si during the hearing of the latter cases, an the remainder of the Sessions was presid over by Mr. Inglis Jones.—Sergt. Thorn said the next public-house adjoined it. The were nine within 100 yards. It did a preti good trade and stabled horses. The passa; was similar to that of the Crown. The wi dows were small and the rooms were not we lighted. They were making repairs ,an when carried out would give better light. People had to wait on the street whilst the horses went through the passage.—Cross- examined, witness said theire was stabling for 20 or 30 horses. It could not be an ideal house until the passage had been altered.— Mr. Prosser contended that there was not a tittle of evidence to justify the bench in refusing a renewal, and mentioned that the licence had been in the hands of the same family for 65 years.—Renewed. The Victoria.—Mr. Prosser also applied for the renewal of the Victoria, and said the owners were prepared to carry out what was wanted. Alterations were being carried out. —The licence was renewed, the bench inti- mating that a urinal should be provided. Fox and Hounds.—Chief Constable Wil- liams opposed the renewal of the licence of the Fox and Hounds, Llanwnen on three grounds: that the house was not required; that it was structurally unfit, and that the licensee had been fined R2 and costs on 20th December, 1901, for selling intoxicat- ing liquor on a Sunday.—Sergt. Thomas de- posed that on the ground floor there were two rooms and a back kitchen. They were rather low, and only one set exclusively for customers.—Mr. Evan Thomas son of appli- cant said the house was situated on the main road from Aberayron to Llanybyther, and on the road leading to Gorsgoch, and Di- hewyd upon which there was a large traffic. It was the only house on the road. Three fairs were held at Llanwnen, and the house was useful to farmers. They had 3 or 4 beds. His mother had occupied the house for 42 years, and the only trouble she had was in the case referred to.—She was ill ia bed at the time and the offence was com- mitted by the servant girl.—The witness in reply to the Chief Constable said he was sur- prised to hear that there were eleven public bouses between Aberayron and Llanybyther. .Mr. D. F. Lloyd who appeared for the ap- plicant said that any improvement needed would be carried out.—The license was re- newed, the bench in this case intimating that a urinal should be provided, and that the licensee had better be careful. Cefnhafod.—An application was made by Mr. C. Denham Evans, Aberayron for the licence of the Cefnhafod Inn, Llanwenog.— The Chief Constable objected on three grounds, that the house was not required, the house was structurally unfit, and that the licensee had been fined 5s. and costs for keeping open during prohibitive hours.—De- puty Chief Constable Williams said the house was situated near Gorsgoch on the road to New Quay, about two miles from the nearest public house. It did a quiet trade. It wajs a pretty substantial bujid ing, well ventilated. It had iour rooms on the ground floor and the parlour was good, but the kitchen was generally used for dom- estic purposes. Repairs were being made, and the sanitary condition was all right.— In reply to Mr. Denham Evans, witness said the house provided all ordinary accommoda- tion of a wayside inn. Very substantial re- pairs had been made since last sessions. He had no complaint against the new tenant.- Mr. Evans said that any improvements sug- gested by the police would be carried out.- The renewal was granted on condition that everything suggested by the police would be carried out. Tynporth.—The licence of the Tynporth Inn, Llanwenog, was transferred from Miss Ann Jones to a Mr. John Roberts.—The Chief Constable alao opposed this licence on the ground that the house was,not required, and that there were two convictions record- ed against the house.—Deputy Chief Con- stable Williams said the house did a country trade, on the occasion of funerals, etc.—The Chief Constable: Do they only drink when they get a funeral (Laughter).—Continu- ing witness said it was a substantial build- ing. The tenants did their trade in the big kitchen which was used also for domestic purposes. It was very deficient in sanitary airrangemtenfts.—Applicant) (explained that repairs) would be carried out.-Th-a Chief Constable: When you convert your back kitchen into a kitchen where will your back kitchen be? (laughter).-Applicant (hesitat- ingly: I can't say.—Renewed. This finished the business of the Court, all the licences having been renewed.

for a private supply placed at the disposal of the villagers, matters would have assum- ed a serious aspect at Pentrebont. This pri- vate source would not be available this sum- mer, and the Council should lose no time in providing a wider collecting area, a longer storing tank, and an additional discharging unsatisfactory condition and he trusted the bye-laws would be adopted and put in force at an early date. Dairies were generally well kept, but in small farm houses and cot- tages there was often a lack of accommoda- tion. A great deal more attention should be paid to housing of cows. The sediment tanks at Cwmystwyth lead mine to prevent the effluent being discharged to the river were found to be working satisfactorily, The death rate (14.5 per 1,000) was as far as he could ascertain, the lowest, attained hitherto from the district, and compared favourably with that of other districts. The lovr death-rate could not. be attributed to sanitary circumstances, but to the excep- tional weather. The decrease was general all over England and Wales. The death-rate could be further decreased by carrying out the provision of bye-laws regarding the con- struction of new dwelling houses, by provid- ing an abundant supply of water to every house, by having hygiene a subject for study in the higher standards of elementary schools, by means of lectures, leaflets, demonstra- tions as to the proper diet and general man- agement of infants, and in sick nursing, bj securing a disinfecting apparatus, by adopt- ing all possible measures to stamp out con- sumption. The erection of the Llanybyther Sanatorium would be justified as a kind of training college and deserved liberal finan- cial support. Dr. John James, medical officer for the northern division, in his report said the district had an area of 68,921 acres, it con- tained 2,300 dwelling houses, with an aver- age population of 3.2 per house. The popu- lation was 7,425. The number of births was 100, 85 boys and 75 girls. This was con- siderably below the number for the previous year, which was 214, and also below the aver- age for the previous ten years, which was 179. The birth rate was 21.7 per thousand, the rate for England and Wales being 27.9 The-number of deaths was 145, 70 males and 75 females. This number was ten below the average for the preceeding decade. The death rate per thousand was 19.5, being 3.2 above the average for England and Wales, which was 16.2. Four deaths were due to accidents, and two deaths were of non-resi- dents. Seventy persons, or nearly 28 per cent, had attained the age of between 70 and 80, 14 persons were over 80, and two had reached the venerable age of 90. The high death rate was largely due to the fact that so many of the adult population emigrated to the towns, and the collieries, and returned home when too feeble and too old to work. The mortality of infants under one year was 20, giving a rate of 125 per thousand, the same as that for rural England and Wales, but was much below that for England and Wales, which was 146. The death rates of the Aberystwyth and Geneurglyn localities were very good, but the rate for the Rheidol locality was very high. Nearly one-third in the Rheidol locality had reached the age of between 70 and 80, and one-fifth were miners. The chief causes of deaths as in form- er years, were diseases of the respiratory or- gans, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, and pleurisy, diseases of the heart (mostly due to senile decay), phthisis or pulmonary tubercu- losis, and cancer. Cancer was the cause of 13 deaths, the average for the last 13 years being 10. Consumption of the lungs caused 19 deaths, and 7 deaths were due to other tu- bercular diseases. Infectious diseases caused seven deaths, namely, two from measles, two from whooping cough, and one each from diphtheria, scarlet fever, and epi- demic influenza.. The death rate from the seven chief infectious diseases was only 0.8, which compared favourably with the rate for England and Wales, namely, 1.94. He was glad that so many new dwelling houses had been erected in the district during the year. Every house ought to be a sanatorium. Dry, roomy houses were required. He hoped the windows of these new houses would be opened daily to admit fresh air, and the chimneys would not be made air-tight by means of sacks stuffed with straw and chaff, also that the rooms would not be crammed with useless furniture. He would like to see greater supervision excercised by some re- sponsible officer under the District Council over the erection of new dwelling houses. As things were conducted at present, it was simply a question of plans and specifications. It was a very easy matter to make them right. The point was to carry them out. A dry healthy house was of vital importance to the community. The health and life of gen- erations depended upon the house they in- habited. Every damp course should be in- spected before it was built upon. He ear- nestly hoped immediate action would be taken by the District Council in the matter, so as to make the bye-laws effective. UNPAID CALLS. The clerk reported that several parishes had not paid their calls. LlangwYlllyfon had not paid the Union call or the District Coun- cil call. The clerk was directed to take the usual steps to enforce immediate payment.— The Clerk said he understood the Llangwyr- yfon collector had been ill. INSPECTOR'S REPORT. The sanitary inspector, in his report esti- mated the price of a wooden cattle drinking trough for Llanfarian at zCl 10s., and a strong galvanised trough at dE3 15s. The in- habitants of Penrhiw, Bow Street, were very anxious to have their water scheme modified, and taken in hand as early as possible, so that they should be supplied in the summer months. The Borth culvert was working satisfac- torily, but its maintenance entailed a con- siderable amount of labour, as blockages oc- curred very often. The Rev. J. Morgan Lewis had approved of the plans to deal with the water and nuisance which existed at Tymawr Farm, Llanbadarn, through the choking of drains. A case of erysipelas was notified at Llangwyryfon, a case of diph- theria at Goginan and a case of typhoid at New Row, Llanfihangel Upper. The latter was contracted from water which the pati- ent admitted he might have drunk while at work in different places. A sample of the water supply of the place wase analysed, and found to be pure and wholesome. A new house at Taliesin was visited and found to be good and commodious, having been built in every respect according to plans and specifi- cations.—It was decided that a galvanised trough be purchased for Llanfarian.—The Inspector reported that the inhabitants of Penrhiw wished to know whether the Council could advance them a sum of EIOO, to be re- paid in four yearly instalments, to carry out their water scheme.—After some discussion, the Inspector was directed to forward the plans and specifications to the Parish Coun- cil for further consideration. The Fair Name of Llanbadarn. Mr. James Jones asked the Inspector if he had seen in the report of the last meeting of the Aberystwyth Towm Council the awful statement made in regard to Llanbadarn.— The Rev. N. Thom?s said he had thought of calling the Sanitary Inspector to account, because there was a universal, inspector in Aberystwyth who knew of every heap and "bwdlack" they could have in' the place. And he had a son, who was very fond of finding fault with Llanbadarn. He could not command such funny (donio!) language as this young man, and perhaps he could not command such Parliamentary language as he. but he knew that the two used their abilities to run down Llanbadarn. The Sanitary Inspector was to blame for not having the rubbish heaps which these two saw at Llanbadarn removed. He (the speaker) wass o blind that he could not see many of them. He did not think Llan- badarn was dirtier than any other village, although it was very difficult to keep a place clean when it was on the flat. But what was more amusing than all was that the Borough of Aberystwyth, which found fault with dirtiness of Llanbadarn, should want to create an additional nuisance by placing all isolation hospital quite close to the village. He had heard quietly that the proposal to erect an isolation hospital was going on as if Llanbadarn was not in existence. They had also been told plainly in the papers that they had no business to interfere with the Town Council, and that it was unnecessary for this Council to show them what their duty was. He believed this Council could show the Town Council a few good examples if they only came to their meeting. They would find more courtesy both in language and in the conduct of the meetings. (Laugh- ter). But it was not their desire to teach them better language or better manners. The reason they condemned the proposed hospital was because it was within their dis- trict. If it was within the borougk lie would not say anything. He proposed that they protest against the erection of the Iso- lation Hospital, and that the resolution be sent to the Local Government Board. It was no use sending the resolution to the Town Council, as two previous resolutions passed on the matter had been ignored by them.—Mr. John Roberts seconded.—Mr. John Jones: Has Mr. Thomas a suggestion as to where the hospital should be placed.— The Rev. N. Thomas: If we did, we would be told at once we have no business to inter- fere. There are plenty of other sites.—Mr. J. B. Morgan thought if the Town Council extended the borough so as to take in Llan- badarn they could effect some improvement there. (Laughter).—The Rev. N. Thomas: I would be quite willing to that. We could then talk to them face to face.—The Chair- man I think they want to get Llanbadarn iii.-R,ev. X. Thomas: I don't think they do. Mr. James Jones said Llanbadarn had not been included in the extension scheme.—The Clerk: They are afraid of the expense.—The proposition was unanimously carried.—The Rev. N. Thomas: Thank you, very much. Loans for Road Repair. In accordance "h notice, Mr. E. J. Ev- ans proposed that a loan be obtained for a sufficient sum to put the Cwmystwyth and Glanfread roads in a proper state of repair inorder that they might be taken over by the County Council as main roads.-The Sur- veyor stated that according to the progress now being made, he was of opinion that the Cwmystwyth road would be in a fit state to be taken over in a month.—Mr. J. B. Mor- gan seconded Mr. Evans' proposition, Which was agreed to.—Regarding Glanfread road, acomnuttee was appointed to wait upon Sir Pryse Pryse, to request him to grant the necessary land for widening the road in order to comply with the requirements of the County Council.
