Collector & his ÁssJ.sta1{ts. A LLANGENNECH: APPLICATION. I An application for the appointment of -.am assistant by Mr. Thomas, collector at UMgoncech, was discussed at the meetr- itg of the Board of Guardians on Thura- <by. The Clerk explained that the applica- tion was made because of the complaints made by the auditors regarding the sign- ing of receipts by Mr. Da.vies, a clerk in the employ of Mr. Thomas. He was not entitled to sign receipts unless he was appointed by the Guardians and author- tzed to do so. If thex appointed him they w<?uld have to pay no salary as that was Mr. Thomas' duty, A letter had been received from the Local Govern- ment Board on the question to the effect that if the Guardians appointed Mr. Baviee aa an assistant he would have to turnish security. Mr. Thomas explained that Mr Davies had been in his employ for six years and it the Guardians appointed him as an assistant he would be authorised to sign the receipts and collect the rates, so as to assist him. The Clerk: We cannot object to you keeping a clerk, but he must not sign receipts. Mr. David Evans: One of our late col- lectors kept two clerks, but unfortunate- ly, he draws a superannuation equal to the salary of himself and his two assist- ants. Mr. Thoma,& I have been signing all the receipts myseK lately. It was decided to recognize Mr Thomas only as collector, but to appoint Mr, Daviea as hia assistant,

A '¡ Arc h '?-c?:' Fees.  C! "I MR. GRIFFITHS AND THE GUARDIANS. Mr. Wm. Grimths (W. Grimths and Son, Falcon Chambers), was present at the meeting of the Guardians on Thurs- day, and made a statement in reference to his charges for plans, etc., of the pro- posed new infirmary. Some of the statements in the newspapers when the matter was discussed at previous meet- ings, he said, were not correct. Mr. David Evans, Pembrcy: I should like to know whether your charges will he on the pre-war estimate which was .E36,000 ? Mr. Grimths: I cannot offer anything that is not professional. What I charge are only professional charges. I may state that all the work done was done during the war. When I went up to London I was 1Jsked what the estimated cost of the infirmary was, and I stated JE:36,000, and was then told I might add another 50 per cent. to that. Mr. Pugh: Did you charge us anything for going up to London about these plajis ? Mr. Grimths: No. I have only asked for a sum of money on account of what I am entitled to. In reply to a further question, Mr. Grimths stated that he plans took about three months to prepare. Rev. Trevor Jones: The plans have been changed so often. I must say that they have been a lot of trouble to Mr. Grimths. Mr. David Evana: At the first meet- ing or' the Board we had a bill of £500 from Mr. Grimths. I asked the Clerk whether the specification and supervision was included in this, and he replied "That would be paid by percentage." Then at another meeting we had a bill for jE525 again. Mr. Grimths I did not send that one. Rev. D. A. Morris (Llangennech) Were not both bills the same ? The Chairman: Yes. Mr. Morris: But we passed at that time that the bill should be paid ? The Chairman: Yea, we agreed to pay L'300 on account. La.dy Howard: I was way at the time, but I remember reading in one of the local papers that it was agreed to pay him £300. A Question then f.rosc as to whether it was not decided to pay the full amount of C;-)2.5 in a previous meeting. "I re- mpmber reading something to that effect in ono of the papers," stated one of the members. The Clerk: Both papers were quite correct. At thp first meeting it was de- cided to pay ;C52-5. and I wrote up to the Local Government Board requesting them to authorise a loan of ;e.52.5. which they refused to grant. The matter was again brought up at the next meeting and it was decided to pay Mr. Grimths .€300 on account, out of our own account. We did net have this on our estimate. The Chairman: I move that the sum of £225 be pa.ij to Mr. Griniths in Sep- tember, as that will bo the time we will make out our new estimate. jRev. Trevor Jones seconded. The proposition was carried. Mr. Davies: I understand that the fees of your profession have gone up during the waj* ? Mr. GriffWls: That is so. Mr Pugh: I think we all know that Mr Grimtbs has treated us in a most satis- factory manner In tbn past. We all back trade union rates, and I hope we will do .so in future (applause).
