Carmarthen Board of Guardians
All members of the District Council also served as members of Carmarthen Board of Guardians. In addition six members were elected to represent the borough of Carmarthen.
For the first time since 1894 there was a contested election and although the election was fought on denominational rather than party political lines, the two church candidates were also supported by the Conservative Association.[1] At the recent county council election there had been a close contest between Fuller-Mills and David Davies.
