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. The colliery managers- were extravagant in promise. hut never •very readv to fulfil < hem. He urged 1 led the founcil should insist on having th"l1 requirements lulfillcd; and members agreed. 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.

COUNCIL AND 00RONERI
COUNCIL AND 00RONERI ————— PIQUANT DISCUSSION AT YSTRACGYKLAIS KETING The Ystradgyniais Council met -on Thursday, Mr. Tom "Williams, J.F.. pre- siding. Mr. Ben Williams asked if the Council was going to adhere to the resolution missed a few weeks ago, when they decided to ask Dr. W. R. Jones, the Brecon shire coroner, to withdraw or apologise for cer- tain statements he had made regarding the Council. 51 r. Williams said the state- i menfs were made during the inquest in connection with the "Teddy Hear" Bridge fatality. If e ÜOlljdererl the remarks of Dr. Jones as unjustifiable. Mr. J. Howells said the coroner was always down on the Council if he had a chance. Mr. T. Williams (chairman) said ihei coroner had a very feeble idea ,f wliit they had to do a-; councillors, and that quiteI, voluntarily, whilst he a<s coroner was paid for every bour he travailed. The Clerk (Mr. Jestyn Jeffrey) reported upon what transpired at the inquwt, and said that he had asked the coroner for a proper fee instead of placing the expense on the Council. The coroner had replied j tha.f the Finance Clerk for the county j would only allow 2s. 6d. The coroner, according to the letter^ regretted this, as j the clerk had given valuable assistance at the inquest. Mr. Ben WiH iams said he lmdeNltQod the. coroner to say at the inquest that their clerk" had a lot of angels to deal with." He resented this very much. Tie felt that the (toroner be asked to pay their clerk what he was entitled to. Mr. D. R. Morgan seconded. The Clerk said that if the coroner paid) th f('o wi tlwn t con.?nH'n? the Finance) Commitiee. he would be sUH'h3.rgt"{L II The resolution that the coroner be asked to withdraw his statements nnd thft he should pay the clerk's fee for the valuable servicp6 he had rendered w;is agreed to. A long discussion arose, over the neces- sity of erecting a new bridge to replace the "Teddy Bear," which had now been dismantled. The Local Government Board wrote that it was not necessary to obtain their per- mission to erect a bridge provided the Council erected the bridge out of current ra tcs.

--I AMMAN VALLEY SCHOOL LIGHTING…
AMMAN VALLEY SCHOOL LIGHTING The had lighting of some of the Amman Valley Schools for. purposes of evening daseos has been an ever-recurring topic of discussion and protest by the local man- agers. At the meeting on Thursday even- ing. Mr. J. Harries in the chair, a Iffter was read from the County Education Committee stating that they could not see j their way to rescind, their former resolu- tion respecting the installation of electric j light. They were prepared, to give the matter their favourable consideration on the conclusion of the war. Meanwhile I the managers were authorised to ôbtain the neee&sary num b er of lamps required j for every school use. | It was intimated that the Education Committee had decided to grant a war bonus of£.') 48. per annum to suppiemon- tary teachers in lodgings or whose liomes; are over three miles from the schools, j War bonus to th-e eleaners was not sane- tifRfd. In reference to the settlememt of Peny- groes School, the county architect reported it was not evident that there had been further movement since 1911. The plas-' tered ceilings and walls oi two roomer were badly cracked, and he-considered the! only danger to be apprehended at present waei that a further slight settlement may occur, and that would probably have the| effect of further loosening the ceiling. which, by falling in large ttlab- migllt caus« serious injury t > anyone in the | room. The worst pxrt of the plastered ceiling should be replaced by boarding, j and other repairs effected. |

  PITY THE HEAmS?! Should the headniaste-r of a school be held responsible for the breakage of gas mantles was oue of the light subjects of discussion at a meeting of the Amnwn: Valley School Managers on Thursday evening, Mr. J. Harries (Irlwyn) presid- ing. Ten ga mantles had recently been broken as th* result 01 slamming of (k)ck-s at the Garnant School, and tho Education j Committee, in sanctioning nev, ones, j I j.' stat.ed they h.ul written to the head-j master intimating that if any more were, broken from the same cause he would be, held responsible. Mr. Evan Evans considered the com- j mictee were putting it on too much. Surely they did not want the head J teaeher to be a door-boy. Mr. Thomas Morgan: Perhaps it ?B only a threat.. Mr. Thomas Morris: I don't think theri- i is anything in it. In order to prevent a recurrence, Mr. Evan "Kvane suggested that the local | managers n'igbt see to it that hooks were fixed to the doors to prevent slamming.
