Mr Edward Williams said be should like to know why distinction was made between the County Education Com- mittee and the County School Gover- nors. Alderman T. Martin Williams—Why do members of Parliament receive £ 400, and.the County School Governors nothing? Rev. Z. Mather, in referring to Clause 62, wished to defer his remarks until a future meeting, when there would be more time. But he said that if the Clause was carried out that the School ,would be soon too small and they would have very soon to enlarge it. He referred to a remark made by MrBrynmer Jones that it was a disgrace that some of the Welsh butter should be put on the market as a Welsh product. Mr John Morgan said that be en- dorsed what the Rev. Z. Mather bad said on agriculture, especially dairy work and he said that there was a large amount of inferior butter on the Welsh market.
