The Chairman, in the course of his opening remarks, said that the Council were very thankful to the ratepayers for the manner in which they bad paid their rates, and without that assistance the Council could not have gone on so successfully. The Council bad carried the year through without an adverse balance at the Bank. Mr Robert Lloyd Williams then addressed the meeting and referred to the improvements executed by the Council during the year. Ten plans of new bouses had been approved of, which would mean about £ 100 more in the rates in future. He thought that one of the best things done by the Council during the past year was the buying of Cellfechah Form, and be was glad to be able to say that the purchase bad been completed that week.
