Includes the names of some Committee officers; receipts; and an account of the financial aid granted to members, including the dates of disbursements. Note some entries of "Dirwy ar ..." - a fine levied upon some person, presumably upon those who had received aid but who had later been found to be malingerers. Included also are two leaflets : one 'Notice in case of death' for presentation to quarry manager in order to claim compensation; and 'Claf Bapur' - sickness claim form - for the Rhiwfachno quarrymens aid committee.
