THE PORTHCAWL PILOT: n" iI.VTED AEROW. -0$- jjO Vv ERS. "The gi.; tuon have always thoughi much of Luther always kept a flower in L en his writing table.

Modesty forbids my dilating upon t the fact that I v. as the first to give to an eager public the information as to that por- tion of the demands of Mr. R. E. Jonas, which related to cash down. We will dis- miss that after I have again given an assur- ance to the public that whatever the aims and desires of others might be. my one controll- ing passion is not to make money, or to rake in money, hut to spend myself in the public service. A man who does this is worth to the community quice as much as say a.stript of land three hundred feet in length. MIGHT HAVE ASKED MORE. Two or three of the Oracles of Portheawl agreed the other evening that Mr. R. E. I Jones might have asked for more than U);jO, and that it was only his well-known generos- ity that had kept him back from demanding four figures. I readily allow that the figures might have been higher. Once a start has been made it is so easy to ascend quickly— that is to say, on the part of the seller, but usually the buyer has some opinion of his own on the matter, and must not bo left cut of consideration. Or- FICI-KT, DELAY. The Rev. Tuckwell (the Radical parson) givea in his Reminiscences the following example of official delay: — "A clerk in the Birmingham Post Office —(so told me once its accomplished chief, Mr. Walliker)—"wearing, unlike his comrades, a tall hat, petitioned the postmaster that a suitable peg might be put up for its accommodation. In accordance with rule the postmaster requisitioned the surveyor, who designed the peg, and wrote to tfie secretary to the Post Othce. ihe secre- tary communicated with the Board of Works: the Board of Works referred the business to their surveyor: he wrote approvingly to their clerk of works, who employed a contrac- tor to give an estimate. Finally, peg and estimate travelled back through all these media, to find that during the two years' delay the clerk had left, and the peg was no longer wanted." On my own account I will add the query that if it took two years to get a hat peg, how long would it take to get a Post- Office.9 Here at Porthcawl we hope we shall, in the fulness of time, have a new Post Office, fur- nished wfrh hat pegs and other devices, to make up for our long waiting. Iz, 11 NEW POST OFFICE. Since writing the foregoing a special courier, or whatever else you might term him. has reached me in a breathless condition with the intelligence that the Post Office for Porth- cawl is to be begun forthwith. In most dra- I matic fashion, I was informed that before this present week has rolled itself off, stones which will form part of the noble and much- needed structure will actually have been em- bedded in mortar, or in other words that work of laying the foundations will have been t started. Once the contractor (Mr. Bevan. 9( p(marth) is allowed to get at the work, all go well, we may be sure. J NEWTON \OTTAGE OXEN SOXG.

She gives the following as a fr<f> translation of the Welsh of a sotlg which she had heard ploughmen sing melodiously to their team of lour oxen whilst at work in Newton -Nottage parish;— Talk all over the country, I Newton ottage parIsh; Talk all over the country, I Of the windmill at Xewtou. There are four white wings Turning on the mountain." IMPROVED TRAIX R VICE. With all the glory of a handbill printed in two colours, the public are informed of the improved train service between Xewport and Portheawl, which started on July 1st. It is doubtless most admirable—I mean the train service but one is inclined to ask why is at- tention given almost entirety to the "Cardiff side, whilst the teeming populations west of py le, summer and winter alike, are given so little consideration ? If the Chamber of Trade of Portheawl really has some influence with the railway authorities in making their summer arrangements, how came they to overlook the reasonable requirements of vast areas, due attention to which would yield golden results to the Great Western Railway Company and the town of Porthcawl alike r An important group of railway officials and a group selected from within the Chamber of Trade met at Porthcawl a few days ago, and there was a due exchange of compliments. Each group was favourably impressed by the other, and on the Portheawl side great things are expected, amongst these being a doubling of the rai! track to Pyle, at a cost, so an ex- pert says, or £ 20,000. SEA AND LAM). IC I I The attention of the proper authorities is urged to the hackney carriages, and the poor beasts which furnish the motive power. Car- riages which are licensed to carry five per- sons, sometimes have nine packed in them. It is to be hoped that with the prospect of a plentiful grain harvest right at our doors, a In handful or two extra of oats might be spared to the all-essential horse, without which a hackney carriage would be a hollow mockery. I am asked who is the Council's inspector of boats.* Please give me time to make en- quiries. I OUR COUNCIL. The talk of the impending resignation of Councillor John Lambert is, to say the least of it. disquieting. There are serious prob- lems looming before our Council which it will require men of experience and sagacity to solve, and it is the general opinion that those who now constitute our representative body ought to at once drop personal matters and petty irritations, and apply themselves Whole-heartedly to the work which the rate- payers expect them to do. The withdrawal of Mr. Lambert at this juncture would aggra- vate the difficulties of the situation. I am sure that he would do much to prevent this, and I join with others in asking him not to take too seriously the annoyances incident io public life, but 'to apply to them the useful sponge of oblivion. Ths work before the Council is great, and it is certain that for the last three or four months only the fringe of it has been touched. It is time for the new Council, as it is called, to address itself ear- nestly to its work, and do it. WADBROGFv'S. This entertainment has been, and is being, well patronised, the charming politeness of ) the attendants contributing in no small degree to its success in the all-important ¡ matter of public support. Inside and out- side the exhibition, it is the same. Every Ynqxtiry is treated with the most patient and polite attention, with the inevitable result I that everybody is pleased. There was some- thing anomalous in the last degree in the pre- vailing good feeling and refinement being dis- turbed at one of the performances by the in- trusion of two ill-manna red curs who,' not cont'Mit with forcing their way into the middle of the audience, there started chal- lenging each other, and finally engaging in deadly combat. The horror-stricken attend- ants found difficulty in removing the fcrocious creatures. The entertainment at Wad- brook's is excellent. Finer living pictures have never been seen. have never been seen. LAST SUXDA V.

STORM SIG.XAL. Portheawl has suffered from storms of vari- ous kinds, but the one that is coming will shake it to its rery foundations. Considera- tions of public interest restrain the writer from giving full particulars, but publicity I cannot long be prevented. Portheawl resi- dents and Portheawl public men will be able to piece together the story if they would bring into the orbit of their mental vision the fol- lowing:—A cricket hold and an urgent call to a town official, who leaves the field hur- riedly. A visit by that official to a distant part of th. parish. A diseovezy on Sandy Beach, where odours of Araby the blest" are floating; about.

PORTHCAWL NEWS.
PORTHCAWL NEWS. « Hard on the Councillor. --During the patter of two of the entertainers at one of the places of amusement her, the following question was asked: "What do they do in Porthcawl with men who teii lies?" "Make town councillors of them," csme the reply. What were the feelings of the Portheaw l Councillor who was in the audience. Sunshine Records.Portheawl shows up well in the sunshine competition this week, such well known seaside resorts as Falmouth. Bournemouth, Scarborough, Weston-super- Mare, Tenby, and many others being beaten by soveral hours. In the Western division of the competition, Portheawl (in wkich division it is placed) occupies third place out of 14 competitors. Pastor's Call. — Rev. Rhys Price, pastor of the English Congregational CI lurch, Xew- road, Portheawl, has received a unanimous call to the churches of St. Ishmael and Dale (Pem.). It is understood he has also been approached with a view of accepting the pas- torate of the churches of Landore and Rhayau-The decision of the rev. gentle- man has not yet been 6:"). and is bwaitecl with interest by his Portheawl friends.

Excursions to Portheawl.—If any proof was wanted to show the popularity of Portheawl as a place for children to spend a happy day it has been shown in the large number of out- ings to the place during the past week. In three days alone there wore no less than nine Sunday School outings, in addition to the or- dinary excursions, which all came in loaded. Monday was a great day, the streets being filled most of the day with children, and a visit was also paid by the Tylorstown Male Voice Party, who gave some selections on the beach in front of the Esplanade. Dangerous Practice.—At the Methodist Chapel, Portheawl, on Sunday, Dr. Howa- land, Brompton Infirmary, during the course of his remarks, pointed out the evil resulting from spitting in public places. He asked the deacons in that and other chapels to have no- tices placed about the church buildings warn- ing people against expectorating. He fur- ther suggested that chapels should he occa- sionally disinfected In London they pro- hibited people expectorating, and he wanted to see vVaies following suit. -One of the deacons promised attention to the matter. The Sunday Scenes. Taking advan- tage of a fine afternoon, a large number availed themselves of the opportunity of an afternoon at Portheawl, and. in fairness to those who did come, it must at once be said that no fault could be found with their be- haviour. There were a few who, by the time for returning home had arrived, were more or less in an intoxicated condition, but the contrast with a fortnight previous was very marked. The prompt action of Superin- tendent W. Da vies, after receiving the report of the Chamber of Trade deputation regard- ing a couple of Sundays ago, is to be highly commended, and the thanks of the towns- people as well as visitors are due to him for what he has done. Prominence has been given to the misbehaviour that went on here, and it is only fair that the same prominence should be given to the fact that matters have now greatly improved. Territorial Association. — A meeting for the purpose of considering the question of form- ing a local detachment of the Glamorgan Royal Horse Artillery was held at the Na- tional Schools. Portheawl, on June 22nd. amongst those present being: Colonel Hatch. Rev. T. Holmes Morgan (Rectort, Major J. C. Coath, Captain Masters, and Captain Llew. Davies (Port Talbot). Captain David and Captain Masters described in full the purpose of the Horse Artillery, and in the course of their addresses explained that before the War Office would place a couple of gnns at Porth- eawl it was would be necessary to send up a list of at least 40 names. An interesting dis- cussion took place regarding the possibility of forming a local detachment, and eventually 13 names were handed in during the evening, which, with 22 already handed in. made 3d towards the number required. It was then decided to hold another meeting in a week or so, and meanwhile to endeavor.r to get addi- tional names added to the list. i Sunday School Outing.- The nn- nual outing of the above Sunday School took place on June 21st. the place chosen being Cardiff. Cheap tickets were issued by the G.W.R.. u hose officials kindly placed a through coach at the disposal of the party. The members of the West Grove Unitarian Church, Carddr, generously gave the use of their commodious and well equipped School- room for the meals. In the morning some of the children, with their parents, enjoyed themselves in their own way, while the child- ren in charge of the teachers were taken to see the handsome City Hall buildings, the statutes, and various other objects of interest in the C'athays Grounds. After the mid-day meal, thrt wholo of the party journeyed to I Roath Park by fdeetric car, and a very pleas- ant afternoon was spent. The elder ones present roamed about enjoying the many floral and other beauties of the park, while the younger ones, led by the teachers, who took great personal interest in their young charges, found great delight in boating on the lake. After tea a start was made for the station, and when all arrived home once more, the universal verdict was that a most ci.joyable day^iad been spent. A Day at Cardiff. — The annual event "f importance iD connection with the Parish t "ih Sunday School took place week, wnen the annual outing was held, the place visited being Cardiff..Leaving Portheawl by the 8.27 a.m. train, the party on arriving at Cardiff, proceeded by tram to Cathcdrat-road. and thence to the Cathedral at LIa:;oarf, where they were shown the items of inti'-r-st, j of the most interesting being the memo- nul to the late Bishop'Lewis. Leaving the! Cathedral, they next visited St. Miciiaui's College, where the warden (Canon Johnson) had kindly arranged for the party to be I shown around. The visit to the College was especially interesting, in view of the fact that, the clergy at Porthcawl have spent some time there, and there were several groups of photos around the wails in which they ap- peared. On their way back from Llandaff Victoria Park, Canton, was visited. After all these visits everyone was ready for dinner, which was partaken of at the Occidental Cafe. The afternoon was spent in various ways, a large number going to Roath Park; others preferring to roam about the town until tea was ready. The party returned homo by the 6..);) p.m. train, having spent a very enjoyable day. G.W.R. and Portheawl.— .V meeting which is likely to prove of great importance to Portheawl took place on Friday, when Mr. Loaning (Cardiff), Mr. Trickey (Swansea), Mr. Carter, and Mr. Bradshaw (Tondn), on behali of Air. Inchs, general manager G. W-. H.. met a deputation, consisting of Messrs. W. J. Griffin (chairman), T. E. Deere, E. T. David (legal clerk), and W. Chorley (lay Herk), representing the Portheawl Urban Dis- trict Council, and Messrs. H. E. Jones (presi- dent) and J. G. Dare representing the Porth- eawl Chamber of Trade. Various matters regarding railway facilities at Portheawl were gone into and thoroughly discussed, m- o r especially the questions of a double line, | motor service, and the altering of the points at the level crossing, so as to obviate the delay to traffic now occurring. The railway officials were much impressed with all the tacts put before them, such as the increased population, increase in rateable value, num- ber of visitors to the town, and more especi- ally the splendid scope for developments, and with this, the natwrally increased revenue for the railway company that would accrue; and, judging from their remarks, the deputation felt convinced that it will not be long beforo improvo-raents will be carried out by the Com- pany. Much satisfaction is expressed in the town that such a meeting as this has taken place, and everyone's thanks are due to Mr. towrl that such a meeting as this has taken place, and everyone's thanks are due to Mr. Inglis for so readily accepting the suggestion of a conference. I AMUSEMENTS. The cry in Portheawl in pa.st years has I hPPT1 the lack of amusements, but this cer- tainly cannot be the case this season, as will be seen from the following: — The Pavilion.—The chief centre of attrac- I tion at the Pavilion this week has been the Bandit Troupe of entertainers. Their per- formances are all that can he desired- --up-to- date. smart, and full of life and fun. It I should be noted that there are now no regular sessions of skating, hut the i-lil, is open prac- tically all day for those who wish to skate. There are also the tennis courts, bowling green, and quoits. All of these pastimes are at the low charge of 3d. per hour, with balls, bowls, and quoits found; so that with the charge of admission to the Bandits being re- duced to 3d. (seats extra), there is a chance for everyone to pay a visit to this popular place. There is also a Cinderella dance held every Wednesday evening, for those who care for this paltime. As the pavilion is now under new management, plenty of enjoyment is assured. Blackbirds. — As in past seasons the "Cosy Corner" is proving a centre of attraction. 0 Two performances are given daily (3 and 8 p.m.), and arertf the Blackbirds' usual up-to- date style. \\ith-the covering that has now been erected, it certainly is "a cosy corner." and now that the season is setting in. large attendances should be the rule. The Hippodrome.- The Skating rink in Railway-terrace has now been converted illto a very comfortable variety house. Our readers will see from our advertising columns that the opening takes place next Monday. July 4th, when a strong programme, includ- ing the American Bioscope'(which will be sup- plied with electric light), is to be presented.
PORTHCAWL LICENSEES SUMMONED.…
PORTHCAWL LICENSEES SUMMONED. -=-c- PUBLICANS' DIFpKX'LlTKS. DOCTORS' TESTS. The Bridgend Magistrates, presided over by Alderman W. Llewellyn (chairman), were occupied a considerable time on Saturday hearing summonses against licensees of Portheawl hotels for permitting drnnkennesG on Sunday, June 19th. THE VICTORIA. George Jones, license victualler, Portheawl, was summoned for permitting drunkenncsn on his premises, the Victoria Hotel. Mr. J. T. H owell appeared for defendant. P.S. Snow (Bridgend) said at 7.50 p.m. he visited Victoria Hotel with P.C. Thomas in plain clothes, and saw a man named Harris sitting down on a bench. He had a pint measure three parts full of beer in front of him. Witness noticed his drunken condition as soon as he went.inside, and asked the young man in the bar where the landlord was. He was told he was by the door and could not come. Witness said they were policemen, and wanted to draw the landlord's attention to the man's condition. When witness saw the landlord he asked him why he had sup- plied the man with beer, and he replied, I don't think he is drunk." Sergt. Davies and P.C. Evans then went in. and the man was taken to the Police Station, having to be practically carried there. Witness told the landlord he should report him. Mr. J. T. Howell: Did you look carefully to see how many men were tlwre --I esti-i mated twenty to twenty-five. Did you examine the condition of every man there? Xo, I did not look at every man. Were there any others under the influence of drink?—Yes, two or three others. were they summoned last Monday?--Xo. The Victoria is quite near the station? — Yes. When you went in was it about time for the excursion trains to leave?—Yes. The two police officers held on to the man like a pair of leeches?—They kept hold of him. They did not give him a chance to show if lie was drunk?—Xobody asked. In reply to Supt. Davies, witness said P.C. Thomas asked the landlord to come outside to see if the manias not drunk, but he did not do so. P.C. Thomas corroborated, and added that defendant had almost to be carried over the bridge to tlu* Police Station. Mr. J. T. Howell said lie did not think it wise to contest the case any further as to the condition of the man. The only point he desired to raise was that defendant was sum- moned for permitting drunkenness, and it was admitted the man was worse drink. As regarded defendant's culpability, lie was legally guilty under the Act of 1902, but had taken every step to prevent an offence. A great deal had been said in the papers of the condition of Porthcawl during the last few Sundays, but from what he could gather, it h^l been greatly exaggerated: still there was nWdoubt there was a great deal of trouble in maintaining order. Defendant had told his wife and the man just before the oiffcers came j in to stop supplying drink to persons who-j came in. and tried to get the customers aL ready in the hotel to go. Defendant knew the police wore taking steps to prevent the occurrences of the previous Sunday, and it was not to be thought possible that he was ing to expose himself to a conviction for the sake of a pint of beer. Defendant had been ] guilty of legal, but not moral, culpability, and he asked the magistrates, under the eir- eumstances. to dismiss the case on payment of costs. Supt. Davies said defendant had been the tenant of the house for fifteen months, and there were no previous complaints. Fil:(,d£:3 and costs. SHIP AND CASTLE. A CRUEL TEST," Melville Gilbert, licensee of the Ship and Costle, Portheawl, was summoned for permit- ting drunkenness. Mr. Jestyn Jeffries (Xeath) defended, asked that all witnesses should leave th. Court. Instructions were given to that ci-feet. P.S. Roes Davies said at 7.15 on Sunday! evening, with P.C. Evans, of ^omycyinn'or. j he found a man named David Evans sitting in the bar of the Ship and Castle, his body swaying backwards and forwards. There was a isint measure half +'ull near him. t ness drew the landlord's attention to him, | and the man was ordered out. The landlord sajd he did not knew the man was :;> ,hoj house, and that somebody else must ha .-<• sup- plied him. The man tried to up J-Voni the seat, but failed, and was assisted. When outside he staggered about, and witness had to get P.C. Dix to take him to the Police Station. Witness returned to the Police- station with P.S. Jenkins, and told defendant j he would be reported. lie made no reply, | and walked away. Mr. Jeffries: Your instructions were, not to j allow men to go into two public-houses on tho same day?—\es. And having seen the man in another public- house the "same day you intended to take him?—i'c-s, because of his condition. How many people came by train to Porth- eawl?—About 2,000. q' Mr. Jeffries: The G.W.R. Company sav 3,000. P.C. James Evans and P.C. Thomas Wil- liams also gave evidence. Inspector Benj. Evans said he \'k-ited the cells at the Police Station aad saw the maa. Evans, who was unable to sit up aJlld had to lie down. Mr. Jeffries: You would ha surprised to hear he could walk along a chalk line "-I should not be surprised to hear it. but I should not believe it. (Laughter.) Even if a medical man says so an, qeite as able to judge when a man is drunk a medical man. Mr. Jeffries (laughing): I will sit down. For the defence, Mr. Jeffries said it was only necessary for the police to prove that they had found the man drunk on the premi- ses, but surely if a man entered the house in an apparent state of sobriety, and a few minutes afterwards appeared under the influ- ence of drink, no Bench of Magistrates would convict. He relied to a very large extent upon the evidence of Dr. Wooding, who put the man under severe tests, and it would be proved also that the house was conducted with every possible care during the whole of the afternoon. Defendant said he had a large number of assistants in the house on Sunday, and in order to meet the requirements of the visitors he had sandwiches prepared. The Chairman here interposed that the magistrates understood the difficulties the licensees had to contend with. Witness continued that Sergt Rees Davies said the man had no right there, because ho had been in another public-house. Xothing was said then about the man being drunk. Witness put the man out. The Sergeant came back and said the man was drunk, and that he (witness) would be reported. Wit- i ness telephoned for a doctor, but could not get a i-eply, so cleared the bar in order that he might fetch him to examine the man. Cross-examined by Supt. Davies: He did 'not notice the man outside. 1 homas David, Portheawl, said he was as- sisting defendant and had had instructions to question those who came in as to whether they had beer, to any other public-house and to ask these to show their railway ticket. He certainly did not consider the man was under tlie influence of drink, and it was not sugges- ted by the police that he was until the man had gone. Mrs. Gilbert,wife of the defendant, said she supplied the man and he was sober. He was given sandwiches and a pint of beer. Dr. Woodiug said defendant told him he had to get on the telephone, but could not do 30. Defendant then asked him to go and examine the man. Witness told him that perhaps his evidence would not be in his favour, but defendant asked him to give his candid opinion. He examined the man in the charge room, and came to the opinion lie was sober. Re first tested him by getting him to put his feet together and his arms by ) his sides, and then stand perfectly upright with his eyes shut. He did so. Witness next asked him to walk along a chalk line on the floor. That he did to witness's satisfac- tion. The pupils of the eyes were next ex- amined, and were all right. Witness could not put him to the speaking test in English, because the man was a Welshman and his English imperfect: neither could he put him through the test of speaking Welsh. (Laugh- ter.) He. however, gave him the rather cruel test of standing on one leg. He could not do t1!;lt;. neither could the Inspector I (Laughter.) I Supt. Dfuies: Xot with eyes shut. ) Witness continued that he next asked the Titan to put his arm out straight and gtretch F his fingers, in order to detect tremor in the e Ic, I fingers, hut this was done satisfactorily. Supt. Davies: Is it not possible that being locked up might have sobered him? Dr. Wooding: It might have had the oppo- site effect on a drunken man, and made him more excitable. What time did vou make the examination? At 8.50. Defendant was fined JE3. THE ESPLAXADE HOTEL. Janet Crawford. the licensee, was sum- moned for permitting drunkenness at the Esplanade Hotel. Mr. II. J. Handall appeared for the defen- dant. P.S. Rees Davies said at 6.30 n.m. he visited the Esplanade Hotel, with P. C. Sav- age, and there saw a man named David James, of Ten Pentre. He was sitting down and was in an intoxicated state. He bad a glass of beer in front of him. Near him was another man under the influence of drinkJ Witness drew the licensees attention to Janus and she said, I have been from the bar changing, and will give the man his 4d. hack." She did so, and James was locked up. He went back and told defendant he would report her, and she replied, "I hope not." Mr. Randall said he was not going to con- test the police evidence, but was going to show that defendant had taken every precau- tion to prevent drunkenness. The police were justified in bringing the case, but if lie could show them that every precaution had been taken, lie thought he was entitled to ask the Bench to dismiss the case. The Esplan- ade was a large hotel, and did not rely pri- marily upon its business by the sale of intoxi- cating liquors, but, holding an inn license, it made it compulsory for the licensee to serve any reasonable refreshments asked for. That was a far more difficult position than experi- enced in an ordinary public-house. Defendant said she had had considerable experience in the trade. She instructed the men to see that everyone who entered showed their railway ticket or tlicir names and addresses in a book on the counter. Before the Sergeant came in she had closed the bar for forty minutes. The Sergeant had made a slight mistake, she said. She did not tell him that she had been to change, but that she to get William Webber, porter, and Elizabeth Houlstone. barmaid, also gave evidence. Defendant was fined t3. Before Mr. E. F.Lynch Blosse (in the chair) and Mr. G. Harris. OX LICEXSED PREMISES. In the second Court on Saturday, James Woods and Edward Claridge, colliers of Blaengarw, were summoned for being drunk on licensed premises (\:1 the previous Sunday, at the Hock Hotel, Portheawl, and were each, fined tl and cosTS (7s.). For a similar offence at the Ship and Castle Hotel. Portheawl. on the same day. David Nowail, collier, Blaeugwynli: George Clark, painter. Maesteg: and William Charles, collier, Ogmore Yale, were also fined £1 .Lld 7s. costs each. MONDAY S CASES. On Monday, before Messrs. Oliver Shep- j pard (in the chair) and G.

A long discussion took pla -e relative to 'the Sunday excursionists, and great satisfaction was expressed at the decided improvement that had taken place. Eventually a resolu- tion was proposed by Mr. Ball, and seconded by Mr. Bovan, Tfiat in view of tho excel- lent service of extra police in the town on Sundays, the Vigilance Committee formed for tho purpose of helping to stop the disorderly scenes be disbanded." This was carried with only one d!%sciit (,it. -.k resolution was after- wards proposed that all members of the Chamber do what they can at all times to stop disorderly scenes in the town, and this was agreed to. Tho Meteorological Committee reported that Portheawl took third place in this week's Sunshine Competition in tho Western District. It was also reported by the com- mittee that for a small charge Porthcawl weather reports could be put in several Lon- don daily papers, and the Chamber unani- mously decided to pay the necessary amount. Mr. W. J. Williams proposed and Mr. Tyler soconded, that steps be taken to get 'the Portheawl Police Station connected with the public telephone. This was agreed to.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. TO THB EDITOR. Sn Will you kindly allow me a little space to call attention to a matter which I consider wants immediate attention? I refer to the overcrowding; that is taking place with the various vehicles plying for hire. Only a short time ago one vehicle, licensed by the Council to carry five passengers, had no less than nine in it, and to make matters worse, the horse was quite lame; in fact, it was a case of three legs, not four. With so few police in a place the size of Portheawl, it is manifestiv impossible for them to bo every- where and see'everything that goes on. Had one only been near when the incident referred to happened, nothing would have kept the diner irom being prosecuted. A.s far as I can gather the R.S.P.C.A. have not vet got a oranch here. May I appeal to them to have a local branch formed at once. It may not have been thought necessary to have a hranch here in the past, but things have al- tered greatly now. Only to-day I counted no less than eight vehicles on the front at one time plying for hire, whereas a few years ago one was seldom seen. Besides this, 'there arc scores more vehicles coming into the town than in years past, and the animals are often faithfully1 U U*UliH'r 0pen to inquiry.—Yours P T „ HUMANE.
