The following commun i c: ¡; :y;l;: :i, g,¡:i: with regard to the UaneUy Border Children, together with a reply which the Clerk had previously drafted, ami now submitted as a re- ply which lie thought ought to be sent to the Board. The letter from the Board waa as follows:— Welsh Tk-patvroent, Board of Edui'-a'tion, Sir,—Iu reply to Mr. Nicholas's letter of the 24th ult., i am directed to stale thai the Board of Education note that, your authority admit that a number of rhe children excluded from the Llanelly school? are not now in îac:i attending any sc-hcol. I am to point out that it is the duty of the local education authority to provide such school a-c-eoiiUTiodfttion as is in the opinion of the Board of Education necessary in order to supply a sufficient amount of public school accommodation. for their district (Section IS of the Eleiuentasy Education Act, 1870, as amended by Schedule" III. (6) of the Education Act, 1902), also that- the local education authority have failed for a month fb supply tho Board with the precise information asked for in the official letter of the 8th ult. Consequently, tli-3 Board have no evidence before tht-rn shewing thai: suitable and oonv-enieat. accommodation exists in the Carmarthenshire schools for the cxcludcd children. as bv your letter, and the facts that mrent-s persist in refusing to s-end their children to these schools, and that no i-rnear as jet to have been taken by tho local education authority, tends 1o show that th;) vi-ew nul bnvard by thi. autho- rity in their letter of the 24ih uk is not well founded As the situaikm is a grave, one, in- volving the educational" interests of a con- siderable number of children, and is no effec- tive steps have apparently been taken, to deal with it. the Board w lit have no alternative but to take aeiion in the matter without fur- therdehv, unlesn the education autho- rity satisfy them forthwith that. all the ex- cluded children can find suitable aceoinmoda- j tion within reasonable distance, of their homes, or oiih-.s.s the L)(;1 education authority intimate' that, they are prepared to at one* into an fgreeuvent with the 'Lianelly Ur- ban Dist'et Council to sec-tire the admission to Llanelly schools of those of the ehibben who have not such aecomioudatiovi within reasonable distance. A copv of ihis is being sent to the Llanelly Urban District Council.—I am. ah, your o! edient servant. ALFRED T. DAVIES. J. W. N icholas, Es:j..

Thi-s was nnlv one instance of thc, verv many cases of the k in,1 t ha t existed amongst the 130 children who had been turned to the .road. She could not understand why it was? that tlie Committee could not cane to some arrangement with the Llanelly Authority. The Chairman: We have d-ekled that we will not pay Llanelly a single penny, and we are not- going back on 'thai. Mrs. Lloyd: Well then. T move that a tem- porary school i/e provided for the 130 children from the OU Road S<d>jK.ls who are now on the road. The Rev. J. H. Rees, Burry Parr, scc-oiidod. Tho Clerk read the veplv which lie sugges- ted should he sent to the Board of Education. In hid reply, he said that the acconnnodation fit the Feliufoel Mjx^d School was 258. which would give r»«jm for about 40 of the children. The iufante' lepartm-eiit could accommodate about .3.5 of the childven, and the remainder could be i-ent to the Church School at Felin- foel, and the Uuee seliools were all within a mile of the houses of the children. Tie also desired to inform the Board that the Commit- tee would in the ner;r future take legal pro- ceedings against the parents. He could not see what more could bo "expeoied from them. JlrW. ii. Jones: 1: would tie just as well for the CLl-k t. send correct statements to the Board. He points out that the accommoda- tion of the mix id department at Felinfoel i3 258, and. consequently, he Cuds room for about forty of the cliddren. The correct figures are 226 according to the last, measure- ment made by H.M. Inspector. So that re- duces tho accommodation by 52 at once.

The Old Road School was built for these children, and they have been driven out of it because this authority will not come to any terms with regard to it (cries of Shame "). What I ask of you is this—Will you open nego- tiations with¡,h2 Llanelly authority with the object of accommodating children in that school until we are in a position to put the children into a school of our own?" Mr Jones proposed that a committee should be appoin- ted to visit the place to inquire into the cir- cumstances, and that the children should be given to understand that they could go to school next. Monday morning. They had been on the road for six. week. and the Commit- tee had been dealing badly with them. He begged of the Committee to deal fairly with the children. The Chairman: Thai- is oni of order. Mr. W. B. June. The Chairman: Because, of the resolution which we have passed. I Mr. Jones: That resolution has expired. Mr. John John: Mrs. Lloyd's resolution rules the field, ami I second it. We should I r nace and the Sandy. Mr. W X. Jones proposed the appointment of a- visiting committee with a view to build, and that in the meantime they have power to provide temporalv accommodation to teach I Horn", or all of the children in the district. The Chainu&u advocated temporary arrange- I ments outside tUe urban area. I Mrs. Lloyd was willing to amend her motion N?' L ?i? Air. W. ? I I in accordance v>.th Mr. W. N. Jones's pro- posal, and, in that amended form, Mr. H. Jones-Davies, Clyndddau, ga\ê it his support. He was ?ry ?lad of Hie ione there that day I inrega;:d to lJ¡. 'll;tttl'. H8 bad fetf thM it was not their duty to go cap in hand to Llan- elly. He -said it amounted to this—it was an act of educational legerdemain on the part of the Lkaneily authority to extract money from the Committee. The Llanelly people had acted the parr of the dog in the manger. The Rev Dr Johns wanted to know whether  dicy purposed ?addliu? people of a district j who had been paying lates without having i anything from that Committee. If so, that ¡ would be unfair. The Chairman: They will only be doing what people in other parts are doing. The Chairman did. not blame Mr. Jones for sticking up for Llauelly. I Mr. Jones said he did not care a fig what the Chairman stated. He was not sticking up for Llanelly. He ws'j sticking up for the children. I The Chairman said the Committee were pre- pared to ont.e-r-iin any reasonable suggestion. I Llanelly was increasing: by leaps and bounds, but the Llanelly people forgot to tell the county authority that, that increase was in tho county area. He did not think ic right- that they should faun out some hundreds of their children to other people (hear, hear). [ Jones: If you are pre/pared to entertain any reasonable suggestion I will propose that I we offer Llanelly 12s. 6d per child per annum. I You are prepared to pay Glamorganshire 25s. and surely half that, mount would be ridicu- lously low ? ;Ccr L:u.,J!y; but, notwith- i standing thai, I make ir for th? purpose of arriving at some sort of ao amicable arran?e- { ment. If you think 12s. 6d. too high, offer i 10s Do something:, rather than allow the i children to be on the road. If Llanelly, re- fuses ?. y. shall have- • ."ome reply to give the BoStd of Education.

Ukhnately, Mrs. IJo?d' amended motion j for a committee, etc., was carried; and :uth01 matter ended. Not a word was said as to the repiy ?" i,o sent to tire Board of Education, I neither W"ld suv sort of a resolution passed, with reg'.u-i to taking legal proceedings against I he parents. -0- Llanelly Committee's Attitude ROAltn OF EDUCATION'S ADVICE. At. a me-e.tkig of tho Llanelly Education I Committee hold on Thursday evening, Mr. H. t D. Rees presiding, the Clerk read a communi- I cation from the Board of Education, in which they enclosed a (c,py;of a letter which had Education Authority. They also expressed ) the hope that the Llanelly loca l education i authority would do their inmost to arrive without delay at a settlement, of the dispute in the interests of Cm? children. I The Chairman observed that the letter was a very strong one, and it was to- be hoped thai, some fruit would eerie of it. Mr. J< seph Roberts said it would be heti2T for them to remain quiet under the eireum- M! Simlott: I think we have done oil we can to tjy tn come- bJ amicable terms, bdt the Carmarthenshire authority have done nothing I' at all. They have not -even appointed a depu- tation to consult us.

PONTHENRY FRACAS. I ALLEGED ASSAULT. I At the Police Court on Monday, Sarah 1 Thomas, Post Office, Ponthenry, proceeded against Evan and Margaretta Gravelle, Ash- grove, Ponthenry, for assault. There was a I eross-summon». Mr. E. Kammerer appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. T R. Ludford defended. Mr. Kammerer said that Mrs. Thomas was I the owner of the house occupied by the de- fendants, and she gave them notice to quit. They were, however, allowed to remain on until they found another house, on the under- standing that. the possession of the garden was given up. Mrs. Thomas, on going into the garden, was assaulted. Mrs. Thomas, Post Office, Ponthenry, said that on Wednesday afternoon last she went to the garden for some rhubarb, and Mrs. Gra- velle came out and called her names. Wit- ness told her that she had no desire to quar- rel with her, and in a few minutes she fetched the brush and struck her with it. Mr Gravelle then came out and kicked her. As a result of the kick she fell to the ground. Mrs. Gravelle then hit witness's head. After this witness ran away, but was overtaken by the male defendant, who kicked her and threw a brush after her Cross examined: You took away their rhu- barb?—It was not theirs. Were you in a temper?—I was not in a big temper. You threw a bucket at Mrs Gravelle?—I did not have a bucket, only a few rhubarb sticks, Did you drag Mrs. Gravelle by the hair?— Yes, when she bit me. You pulled Mrs. Gravelle's hair as hard as you could j—I don't know about that. Re-examined, witness said the garden had been given over to Smith, who set it, and she had obtained his permission to get the rhu- barb. John Siephen Smith. Post Office, Ponthenry, said the garden attached to the house occu- pied by the defendants had been in his pos- session since March 20th. He had authorised Mrs. Thomas to go there for rhubarb. He was to be the tenant, of the defendants' house as soon as they cleared out. On the date in question his attention was called to what was taking place in the garden. He saw the male defendant kick Mrs. Tlic)iiias,"aljid the female defendant threw a bucket at her Mr. Ludford asked whether their worships were not of the opinion that the ease should be dismissed, seeing that the plaintiff had ad- mitted. having pulled the defendant's hair. The Presiding Magistrate: We think you have a. case to reply to. Evan Gravelle, collier, denied having kicked Mrs. Thomas, or that he ran after her. There was a squabble between his wife and Mrs. Thomas, and both were pulling each other's hair. Mr. Kammerer objected to Mr Ludford put- ting words into the witness's mouth. Mr. Ludford: Really, you should not be so impudent, Mr. Kammerer Mr. Kammerer: I object to the manner in which jou examine your client As to my conduct, I leave it in their worships' hands, and not in yours. The Presiding1 Magistrate (to Mr. Ludford): The witness has made no independent state- ment so far. Margaretta Gravelle also gave evidence. The Bench bound Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. I Gravelle over to be of good behaviour for six months and ordered the parties to pay their own cos ts, the case against Evan Gravelle being dismissed.

A communication was read from tne Cham- ber of Commerce suggesting that the Harbour Trustees should confer wit'h the Urban Coun- cil and themselves with a view to advertising the commercial advantages of the town and port of Llanelly. The Clerk said that some time ago the Trust considered the question of advertising the port as an independent body, but the sugges- tion now was that they should confer with the Chamber of Commerce for unit-ell action. Mr. B R. Jones said they at present adver- tised the advantages of the North Dock in the "Shipping World." Mr. I). James Davies remarked that they only advertised in special numbers. There \vas a special advertising committee appoin- ted, who decided to advertise in special numbers of the "ShÍTlping World" and the Shipping World Year Book, and also insert a page in the tide table, and all this had been done. Enquiries were also to he made ror the purpose of publishing a booklet, but the committee had not been called since. The Chairman said the chairman of that particular committee did come to one meeting but he never came again. It was subsequently decided that Messrs. Thomas Jones, Brinley R. Jones, and George Blake be asked to confer with the, Chamber of Commerce, with a view to making further recommendations to the Trust. DREDGER'S INSURANCE. The Clerk said that the expiration of the in- surance of the dredger would take place in a few days, and lie presumed the Trust would renew it for two months. Capt, Williams: What do you want to in- sure her for? The Clerk: If a vessel were to rim into licr elu'i might sink. The insurance moitev is onlv £5. CapL Williams: I should like to get £ 5 a month (laughter). The Chairman explained that the Bank of England representatives would not allow the vessel to remain in the dock unless they in- sured. her. It, was agreed to renew the insurance, THE TUG" PALCON." A question was raised as to the loss the Trust, sustained every year by the purchase of I the tug Fa Scon." The Clerk estimated the loss nt- £ 540 for I, twelve months'. Mr. John John: Does that include the in- terest on the capital sum? Tho Clerk: No; nor the depreciation Mr. John Roberts said it was fair to say that the Falcon had done something. It had straightened something that was crooked Ire- fore, and that was the condition of the pilot- age. The estimated loss at the start was £ 700 a year. Mr. John John, disagreed with Mr. Roberts; He thought the position was worse. The Trust should have let them manage their own affairs. He objected to the purchase of the tug at the st,ao-,t, but t'hey were challenged by the Bank representatives that it was part and parcel of their contract with the Bank. He believed they should have waited until they had deeper waterr, so that, they could utilise the dock, and perhaps they would be able to purchase two, and have them into their own management. They were now losing practi- cally ClOOO per annum. I Capt. David Thomas said lie advocated the purchasing of the" Falüon," and lie believed, .she • was needed in the estuary now. At that time lw asked the Chairman how much notice iL was necessary to give to the pilots if she did not turn out a success, so that they could sell her. He was told that six or twelve months notice was necessary. The Falcon did noLpay them t present, and I hø would like to know what the Trust was prepared to do under the. circumstances. Supposing they were to give the pilots six months' notice, would they be breaking the agreement? He would like the Collector to give him an estimate of how much the ship- owners' gained by the tug being in the estu- ary. The Collector: Ten per 'cenl. ¡ The Clerk suggested that- an agreement I should be coma to with the- pilms. It was an important Capt Williams s')id be could not sec how II the tug had travelled 1510 llLiies. He would like to see the log book, I The Chairman: The log book is- io the Har- bour Office. Capl. Williams: It ungld to o. Wo ¡ know nothing as to where she goes. It she vent oni to Caldy every day she would not go \t'.rlt <I'lJ.1 t:(alr!j' fïl.)ry d'Y S11() '.YO\lldnut g;, I The Superintendent: Capt. H:es is pre- pared. to piovo i(.
