Richards presiding, it was reported, that Lord Dynevor bad been appointed chair- man of the Agricultural War Sub-Com- inittee, and Mr. Evan. Davies man- It was pointed out by the, commit- tee that if there was a further drainage on men now on the land the supply would Tjecome seriously inadequate. On the other hand the supply oi foixl could be in- creased by an add itional number of hands. Among other things the committee were of opinion that farmers should co-operate in buying machinery in bodies of ten, I more or less. Effect of the War. Mr. Matthews said the committee had. no pia ns before them that day, a state- ment which lie had had to make ire- quently since the war began. Previously there was a gnod number befon th? com- ruittee at each m<?etin?. The members then resD}yed tL?ms?lves into a Sanitary Committee. The inspec- tor brought before them a report of the B-ettv. s water supply, a work which is still pr-reeding anda: 1J which they hopeu, very shortly to give a ilill report. Insufficient Catch Pits. The inspector huj hoen calling at all i the eollienes, J It Caehryn it seemed they ihtid not sufficient catch pits to catch the coal dust. promised that the work should be extended. At the Emlyn Col- iiery they had small catch pits which were soon tilled if not frequently emptied. These works were hardly worth anything, but they had promised that things would be improved. The inspector also called on some butchers at Penygroes and found in one place things were in a, disgraceful state. Another place was not up to the mark..Notices were to 1)(' givcu iu both instances. llr. John Bevan was glad that the in- •spector had visited the Emlyn and fac- tory n < Collieries.

Impassagc for Motor-Cars. A letter was read from Mr. Price Lloyd. Bryncothi, stating that the road from rs'antgaredig to Brechta had become ahso- lutely impassable for motor-cars. He asked t lie Council if they would be good enough to let him know what they intended doing. Ii had'been in this state for a very long tiaie, and so far as^ could be seen very liLUpbadbepnd.'neonit. He was aware] of the great cost to the ratepayers of i ?i upkeep of this road and sympathised with I thqpi. and expressed the opinion that the ought to be a main road. He pointed out that it any damage was caused to his car he should certainly hold the Kural Dishict Council responsible. He had rc- cently spoken to the Council's surveyor or. tiie .-nb.ieci. The state the road was in at. •jsre.ei, could not he plIt up with an,) •lunger. The haii man said that what Mr. Lloyd p-ice had said concerning the state of the iiiad iio It was in a \cry bad The Clerk here read counsel's opinion, v.hkdi lie had been instructed to take on the subject. Mr. Matthews said the first .tiling to d<> was to repair the road, and charge Hie Chemical Co. for it. Mr. Evans said tl at, as the writer pointed out, the Council were responsible in the*'fir-! pi ace for keeping the road in order, and they could then go to these peijoie tor da:m;g?s. •Mr. Matthews proposed that. instruc- tions be given the surveyor to put- the road 1;\ order.

Williams, who. said they had as < "otineil, a-id some years ago put it in a or v. good state of repair, moved that the clerk write a nice letter to Mr. Lloyd Price informing him that the state of the road would soon be improved. The Surveyor said that Mr. Lloyd Price bail sent that letter to cause them to move in the matter, and to do what they po, sibly could, lie would not carry out his threat 'i1 'Wy did their duty. Lord l-'y nWM moved » jider to the motion as t\ repairing the road, which was carried. He thought that if they were' feoing l:' Xave a law suit it was very CKseiitiat that should have a careful and elaborate Vport of the road as it s-food at that j1}()ncllt before repairing it.
