ONE of the best known public men in Cardiganshire, Mr.
Daniel Jenkin Williams, of Argoed, Tregaron, has for many
years devoted much of his time to the discharge of public
duties. He is one of the oldest members of the Cardiganshire
County Council, first connected with that authority three years
after its inauguration, and his association with it has since been
uninterrupted. For six years during that time he was an Alderman,
but in March, 1907, he resumed his place among the elected of the
people, as the representative of Tregaron.
In 1905 Mr. Williams was Chairman of the County Council.
He is a member of the Joint Police, Main Roads, and Public
Health Committees, and has held the chairmanship of the two first-
named. In the Poor Law and local administration of his own
district, Mr. Williams takes an active part as member of the
Tregaron Board of Guardians and Rural District Council. He was
formerly Chairman of the Board, and is at present the Chairman
of one of its most important committees, that dealing with assess-
ments.
A Justice of the Peace for co. Cardigan, Mr. Williams has
the distinction of being the senior magistrate adjudicating on the
Penarth Bench. His whole career has maintained the best
traditions of public life, and the esteem in which he is widely
held is a just reflection of the high character of his services.
Mr. Williams is the second son of David Williams, Esq., of
Abercoed, Tregaron, where he was born. He was educated at
Tregaron, Aberystwyth, and Carmarthen, and married Martha
Williams, of Tyndomen. In politics his support is given to the
Liberal Party.
