♦ CRICKHOWELL FARMERS' UNION. DANGER OF TARRED ROADS. I Mr. David Pritchard, Park Farm, Llangattock. presided at a meeting of the Crickhowell Branch of the X.F.U. on Thursday in last week, at the Cambrian Arms Hotel, Crickhowell. No Better Than Ice Ponds." I Councillor Henry Thomas called attention to tfie danger of tarred roads, and said that parts of the main highway to Brecon were little better than ice ponds. Accidents were frequently occurring through horses slipping down. Not only was the centre of the road tarred, but tar was apparently poured all down the sides. He proposed that they ask the County Council to forthwith remedy the existing state of things. A Member Only motorists are considered now. Councillor Thomas Be that as it may, farmers are the largest ratepayers and their interests should be considered. The Chairman strongly condemned the present system of tarring, and Mr. Anthony Lewis (Prisk) said he had previously made complaints about the danger to horses. The meeting unanimously decided to com- municate with the County Surveyor. Weighing of Sheep. I It was resolved to support the Brecon branch in their protest against the decision of the authorities to dispense with ttie weighing of sheep before grading. The Chairman And I suggest we urge the authorities to do away with the grading system altogether. It will be better for fanner and consumer. (Hear, hear). A Member But not the auctioneer and butcher. (Laughter). The suggestion was agreed to. Monthly Meetings. I Mr. Anthony Lewis urged the need of meeting I oftener. It was ridiculous to meet haphazard as they were doing now. They were not able to get through half the correspondence, and many important matters were not considered at all. The Chairman I quite agree, and propose we meet on the first Wednesday in every month. This was carried unanimously. 4— 1
