Jones Hughes, 1 .Morris James, William James, W. R. Davies, clerk, P. H. t Hughes, surveyor and Edward Williams, inspector. I Sum'tor's Rpl)"rt, li- P. H Hughes, the surveyor, t presented his report, which was as follows ork on the Penlielig drain has not been resumed because the men have been employed on the reservoir at Tynewydd and in cleaning c the reservoir at l'enhelig. Sums amounting to £(i 10s. have r been promised towards constructing the drain as far as the f: Police Station. The cargo of lime stone which you a uthorised i, the purchase of at your last meeting has arrived, and is fairly satisfactory. A large quantity of timber has been hauled from Braichycelyn to Aberdovey, and some of the inhabitants 1. are of opinion that it is extraordinary traffic and that the a owners of the timber should pay towards repairing the roads, and have desired me to bring the question under your notice. The owners of this timber have I i been obstructing the roads and I have given them peremptory notice to remove all obstructions. During the last month 'til ol)s .two children have had narrow escapes from being drowned at Bryncrug. They fell into the brook at Perthycuttian and were carried by the current through a culvert under the main road and were with difficulty saved. The parents think that the Board should have an iron grating fixed on the entrance to the culvert and are of opinion that this would remedy t matters. Similar complaints and requests have been made m 1 respect of the culvert under the mam road, Pantyfelindre.] A meeting of the Towyn Committee to consider the request of the Engineer of the Cambrian Railway to have a brick cul- 1 respect of the culvert under the mam road, Pantyfelindre.] A meeting of the Towyn Committee to consider the request of the Engineer of the Cambrian Railway to have a brick cul- 1 vert constructed under the line.-It was resolved that the original arrangements be adhered to.-A meeting was held to consider the question of extending the main sewer to a point one hundred yards below Pier Villa, and it was decided to recommend the construction of the sewer on condition that Mr John Corbett, M. P., constructs a twelve-inch sewer from Pier Villa Road to Warwick Place Road.—Mr John Robert- son Minvdon, Aberdovey, appealed against the valuation list ( of the parish and got the assessment of his house reduced.— Mr Roger Lewis is building a house without plans. He was summoned and hned for erecting the same two months ago. Inspector'is Import.—iir E-lwaru VVul:auis, in- spector of nuisance, reported that he had visited most of the farmhouses in the district and found them in good order, with the exception of Cwmutfernol Farm. lie also made an house to house inspection at Bryncrug in company with the Medical Officer. Medical Officers Report.—The medical officer, Dr Grosliolz, presented his report, which was as follows :—"The state of health of the district may now be described as satis- factory. The outbreak of measles which has been prevalent f' months has virtually disappeared. In Aberdovey the managers, acting on my advice, closed the National School for three weeks. In Bryncrug, the epidemic has been very wide snre°d and there have unfortunately been two deaths from pneumonia following measles. I have month made a house-to-liouse inspection of Bi ntiUj, and Rhvdyronen. The Inspector accompanied me and \s e lsitut 8!! houses, containing 205 inhabitants, .W of «honi' h^c suffered from measles. Speaking generally, I found the houses in a fair state of repair and on the whole very. fairly ventilated and clean, t, privy accommodation is very unsatisfactory; the supply is inadequate. They, ar most dilapidated and dirty and all arc without ventilation. I consider the water quite unfit for drinking purposes It is polluted in many ways and is a constant source ot danger to the public health. It would certainly be a good plan if Bryncrug could b" connected with the Towjn new water system. The Notification of Infectious Diseases Act came into force on 1st Mav, ,L le niiiiiber of frotii the" medical attendants, but I think the parents of children who are receiving medical attendance do not yet quite understand that it is their diitv to renort to me cases of infectious illness. The drainag-e of Penlielig is verj unsatisfactory, and I trust that the Board will give it immediate attention. As the main dram is now carried as far as Mr T. Ellis's house, I suggest that it should be continued as far as Tanyrallt and all the houses connected with it. Many other important 'matters have required a great deal of my attention in many parts of the district during the past quarter which 1 do not propose to mention now but which I shall ruler to in my annual report." The Oh a irmav. — Mr W. Davids asked the Clerk if Mr Webster, the chairman, was disqualified from being a member of the Board, having been absent for some time ?—The Clerk said that he would ho disqualified if he failed to attend the next Board nieetiii,.r.)Ir Davies then gave notice that in case Mr IVebstcr fails to attend the next Board they would proceed with an election to fill the vacant seat. Hates. The Clerk yirodueed estimates for general district rate and highway rate, and it was agreed to levy a rate of rite a '2s. in the pound. Toivt/n Habits,.—Mr S. Evans called the attention of the Board to conplaints which had eeen received about young people loitering about the corners of the streets at. Towyn.—Mr J. M James also called attention to the practice of chimney 1iring,- Th"- Clerk said that thev had adopted the Towns Police Clauses Act, under which constables had power to stop the practice of chimney firing and loitering at the corners, and had written to the Chief Constal)U- hut not to the constables thenis.elves. The Cleik was instructed to write to the constables appointing them inspectors under the Town Police Clauses Act.

BARMOUTH LOCAL BOARD.—A special meeting of the Local Board was held on Thursday afternoon of last week to consider the difficulty of laying the pipes for the sewerage outfall, when the Engineer, Mr Thomas Roberts, was instructed to present a report at the ordinary meeting to be held the next day. A STOP TO DISFIGUREMENT.—Visitors to Barmouth have made frequent complaints of the practice of sticking bills about on picturesque bits of rocks in the neighbourhood of the town, because the attraction of a beautiful view was often diverted by the importunate advertising of some patent medicine vendor or clothier of ready-made garments. The authorities of the town have this year had hoardings put up in different parts of the town for the display of advertisements, and .,hey intrmd extending what powers they may possess, legal or otherwise, to present the disfigurement of the scenery which might be described as the staple in- dustry of Barmouth. MARITIME.—During the past three weeks one of the officers of the Trinity house boat, Knight Errant, has been engaged in registering the rise and fall of the tide in Barnu.'uth harbour. The highest rise registered has heen about fourteen feet and the lowest about six feet. FREEMASONRY.—The monthly meeting of the ilawddach Lodge of Freemasons was held on Wed- nesday afternoon under the presidency of Major Best, W.M. POSTAL SERVICE.—An EFFORT is about to be made, it is understood, to get Barmouth letters brought via I Ruabon and Dolgelley, instead of through Afon Wen. Letters to Dolgelley arrive between six and seven in the morning. A train now leaves Dolgelley about half-past seven, Out does not run across the bridge into Birmouth. By getting Barmouth letters sent vis Dolgelley aud letting the trliin which now stops at the Junction cross the bridge, letters could be delivered at Barmouth an hour or two earlier than they are delivered under present arrangements, and the incon- venience of the Cambrian train missing the L. and N. W. train at Afon Wen would be avoided. BARMOUTH AND THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS.—A numerously signed petition is about to be presented to the Cambrian Railway Company, and, as the subject matter is common to the inhabitants of every watering place on the oorst, it is suggested !hat Aberystwyth, Towyn atri Aberdovey should be requested to present similar petitions. It is worded as follows-: —" Your memorialists are of opinion that the many natural aud other advantages of Barmouth and surrouncitig dis- tricts would be the means of attracting a much larger number of visitors than is now the case if an improved train service could be arranged. The existing service between Barmouth and Liverpool, Manchester, Wolverhampton, :'nd Birmingham is inadequate', aii-i the jouroey, having regard to the actaai distances, un- necessary long. Railway companies are now offering facilities in the shape of quick through trains at con- venient times as well as trips for short periods at re- duced rates to meet the increased want for short holi- days. Whete the length of the journey is an im- portsnt consideration, your piemorialists fear that unless Barmouth C.dl supply those requirements it will lose proper position in favour of other more distant and less attractive places. Your memorialists do not need to point out the number and times of the trains running between Barmouth and the large centres of papulation, but remind your Board that five or six hours constitute the usual tim? between Barmouth, Liverpool, Man- chester and Birmingham. Your memorialists would therefore suggest the following improvements (a) one good train a day in convection with quick trains to and from Liverpool. Manchester and Birmingham and the SUTOanriing dist>'iets; taking from 3 to 3i hours 2 for the journey (b) a fasfl train leaving the above- named place" on Saturdays after business hours, re- turning on Monday in time for business, s?.y, at ten r,v ,vMr,r*lr nv+.^nFiir>n to the inhabitants of Barmouth the ad\antages of cheap excursions to other places in the district." CONCERT.—On Taesday evening, a concert of vocal and instrumental tnusic was held at the Assembly Rooms under ttJif presidency of Mr Owen Slaney Wynne, of Plasnewydd, in aid of the Barmouth Brass Banfl. The programme was as follows —Slow march, Brass Band glee, 3armouth Glee Party led by Mr J. Thomas song, Mr Owen Jones duet, Miss Price and Miss Jones song, Miss Pritchard; song, Mr Rees Jones pianoforte solo Miss Jones song, Miss L. Price chorus, Glee Party polka, Brass Baad soug; Mr H. Gabriel, string quartette, Professor Jones and party song, Mr E. M. Evans 4lee, the Glee Party song, Mrs Owen Jonts, duet, vlessrs Owen Jones and H. Gabriel song, Mr Edmund Humphreys and finale, God Save the Queen." Miss Griffith acted as accompanist. Before the Vational Anthem was sung, the Rector (the Rev E. iughes) proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Wynne for lis kindness in taking the chair which he had done inder some diiffculty, having corne from London that lay for the purpose and the audience were still more ibliged to him for having brought Mrs Wynne .long with him horn Ruabon (Loud cheers).—Dr .loyd having seconded the vote of thanks, it was u,rried unanimously and the Chairman, acknowledging t, said the audience was perhaps aware that the naidens of Merionethshire were renowned for their jeauty and all would acknowledge that it would be in additional pleasure if the men of Merioneth were •enowned for the cultivation of their musical talent. tIe hoped there would be a substantial sum left after )aying expenses to hand over to the Band, and that vhat the Br,lss Band had done towards acquiring jroSciency would be an encouragement to other young nen in the town to form a string ban:l. Concluding, '11' Wynne proposed a vote of thanks to all who had aken part in the concert and the proposition having )een carried, the audience separated. It is understood hat a Committee is about to be formed for the jurpose of carrying out Mr Wynne's suggestion for he formation of a siring band. LLANBEDR.—Dr Dale, the well-known Congregational livine,it is understood, is about to take up his summer esideuce at Llanbedr, and Mr S Pope, Q.C., the owner of the Hafodybryn estate, is going to build a louse for the rev gentleman's accommodation. The STATION.—Mr H. Dulston, now st ironmaster at Vbermule, has been appointed to the stutionmastership it Barmouth. Mr Dulston is a native of Ellesmere oud has been station master at Ynyslas. Carao, and ),I)ectlltlle for the past fifteen or sixteen years. LOCAL INDUSTRY.—Mr Griffith Griffiths, chemist, s about to start at Barmouth, where at present there s nothing of the kind, a manufactory of aerated el vaters. ENGLISH WESLEYANS.—The Rev W. Wynne, nissionary from South Africa, preached in the English Wesleyan Chapel last Sunday.

He has taken apartments for the mall h of August at Trefry, the residence of Mrs Kdwards. on the Marine-terrace. ECCLESIASTICAL.—The Rev J. A. Evans, formerly curate at Barmouth, has been selected as one of seven candidates for the minor canonry at Bangor Cathedral, vacant through the appointment of the Rev J. Thompson Jones to the vicarage of Towyn, Abergele. THE CHt-,Rcii. --La-;t Sunday, the Rev T. P. Ring, missioner, vicar of Hanley, preached a sermon in St. David's Church to a large congregation on modern criticism in which he noticed Robert Elesmere and Professor Huxley's article in the XIXth Century, and dealt with much force and lucidity on the subject of the Authenticity of the Gospels. The preacher was listened to with rapt attention for over an hour. The Rev E. Hughes, the rector, read the service, an Rev Mr Ring, the lessons. CYMANFA YSGOLION\—The Sunday School Cymanfa for the district from Talsarnau to Barmouth was held at Barmouth on Monday last. Talsarnau, Harlech, Llanfair, Llanbedr, Gwynfryn, Dyffryn, and Barmouth schools with their branches were represented, and there were close upon 1,000 members present. The members were catechised, prizes and certificates were awarded for learning portions of Scriprure, the Mother's Gift. Mr Charles's Hytforddwr (Instructor), and Hol- iEdydd Bach. In the morning the children were cate- chised by the Rev Gwynoro Davies, Barmouth, and the R' V W. Lloyd Griffith, Llanbedr, the Rev R. Evans, Harlech, presiding. In the afternoon, Mr R. J. Williams, postmaster, Dyffryn, presided, and the adults were catechised by the Rev E. Roberts, Dylfryn, and the youth by the Rev R. Evans. The examiners were Mr R. W illiams, Tanygrisiau, the Rev R. H. Morgan, Menai Bridge, and the Rev John Owen, Aberdovey. The evening meeting, held under the presidency of the Rev E. Roberts, Dyffryn, was occupied by the singing of sacred music under the leadership of Mr J. Thomas, Llanwrtyd. The secre- taries were Mr J. R. Jones, Taltreuddyn, and Mr Rees Evans, Llanbedr. The singing was good, and the im- provement resulting from the establishment of the cymanfaoedd very marked. Though all the speaking was in Welsh, many English visitors were present and sat through the meetings. OUITUARY.—Towards the end of last week, Mr j Pain, of the finn of Pain and Talbot, architects, died last week and The body was interred in Llanaber Churchyard last Tuesday. Mr Pain was engaged in the restoration of St David's Church, and was third or fourth on.the lists of architects for the church now in course of construction. The deceased was in a very critical state of health some four years ago, and was sent by his medical advisers to Barmouth where the salubrity of the climate restored him to a degree of | health and undoubtedly prolonged his life. THE HARBOUR.—The sea-faring folk at Barmouth do not take very kindly to the suggestion that the Bar Bach, as they call it, should be closed up by tipping debris into it to connect the mainland with the Island. They say that if the northern mouth of the river is closed, instead of the harbour being deepened, the saad between the bridge and the quay would siit up no much that it would not be possible to get boats along- side the quay. On the other hand, it is thought that the result of diverting the whole rivr into the south- ern mouth would be the means of deepening the entrance to the harboui" and probably converting it into a harbour of refuge for the upper portion of Cardigan Bay. Other objections raised are that fishing boats now make use of the northen channel and pleasure boats go that way to the Marine Terrace beach. An alternative scheme is therefore suggested of erecting a light suspension bridge for foot passengers only and it is thought that a bridge of this description would be a profitable investment for a company even if the Harbour Trustees cannot see their way to carry out the prayer of the petition referred to la t week. On the one side, it is said that the Board of Trade would insist upon the bridge being sufficiently high to admit the passoge of sailing vessels, which would be practically an insuperable objection and, on the other, it is stated that the Harbour Trustees have by their Act,sole control of the harbour. That authority, by the way, occupies a somewhat curious position. It were brought into existence to administer I dues derivable from vessds entering the port. With the exception of a steamer which once or twice a year runs into the harbour for a cargo of manganese, there is virtually no shipping belonging to the port, which used to export some £ 10,000 worth of h "siery and flannels yearly, and the harbour ciues are almost nil. The main source of revenue by the Harbour Trustees at the present time is not in shipping but in trains, the Cambrian Railways annually paying into the hands of the trustees between £ 120 and fl30 iu respect of the railway bridge. if the revenue accumulates, the Board of Trade appears to have the power to take some of the accumulated capital and apply it. to the improvement of harbours in any other part of the kingdom. The amount of shipping done does not justify large salaries being paid to the Harbour Master, Secretary and Treasurer, and of recent years the Trustees have been increasing the value of their property to the extent of X-50 or CSO a year in fencing, paving, the building of sheds for boatmen and in other improvements. They now have a balance in the bank ot £ 4-00, but against that there is a mortgage of ;C200, so that VrOukl leave £ 200 to be expended in connecting the island with the main bn if the Tiusceea have the power and think it in the interests of the town that they should exercise it in that direction. LOCAL BOARD, FRIDAY, JI NE 13TH.—Present: Mr J. J. Griffiths, chairman, Messrs H. Owen, photographer, John Evans, Manchester House, David Edwards, Owen Edwards, J. Allsopp, M. J. Morris, J. R. Davies, G. \V, Pybus, clerk, Thomas Roberts, C.E., consulting engineer, and Hugh .Tones, surveyor.! Pigs.—Three persons appealed before the Board ask- ing for permission to keep their pigs until they are fit to be killed. One of the women stated that she kept the pigs as clean as she could.—Mr M. J. Morris said if the Board com- menced exercising their power they should do so without exception.—The Clerk said that he sent notices to all the persons whoso names he received from the Medical Officei. Mr Morris named several persons who had not received notices, and the Committee appointed said they did not know that pigs were kept at the places referred to. -Mr Morris said that the people were like Irishmen and kept the pigs in the house.—Mr Owen asked if it would not be better to let the applicants fatten their pi^s.—It was decided that the by-]n w should be enforced at once. The Carting oj Rubbish and Watering the Streets. In answer to Mr John Evans, th? Chairman said that the carting of the rubbish and stones cost nearly CIOO.Tenders were received for the carting of the ashes.—On the proposition of Mr B. J. Allsop, the tenders of Mr Richard Pugh and Mr Ellis Morris WPVC ruwntprl. Mr "R .T Allcnn p!111p.r1 nffnnfirtn fro 4>1-.1"> watering of the streets. Last Whitsuntide or Easter it was cruel to listen to the complaints of the visitors. He did not know \vhose fault it was, but he thought it was the Board's duty to consider the comfort of the visitors. The complaints were made about Saturday and Sunday morning. The watering of the streets should be under the control of the Surveyor and he (Mr Allsop) did not care whether it was done on Saturday night or Sunday morning.—The Surveyor said that there was something wrong with the water supply at the time. Mr Allsop said that that was only one instince. He thought the Board would be compensated ten times more if they erected a small reservoir, to contain two or three cartloads of water.-He thought a subscription could be soon raised among the inhabitants.—Dr Huirhes said that the tank was very small and they could not water at all times.— Mr Morris said that clouds of dust arose long before the watering cart was brought out. He did not see ■vhv the streets should not be watered every morning the same as in other towns.—Mr H. Owen proposed and it was agreed [to that a memberof the Water Committee should have the power to order the watering of the streets when it was advisable. The Marine Parade.—Mr B J. Allsop, in accord- ance with a notice of motion, proposed that the Bard should ask property owners on the Marine Parade to put the Parade in proper repair, under the Public Health Act, 1875. In proposing the resolution, Mr Allsop said the question whether the Board should take the Parade over was another matter All would admit that the Parade in its present state was a disgrace to Bar- mouth and visitors complained very much about it. Since the Board met last time a meeting of the directors of the Cambrian. Railway Company had been held at Barmonth and they promised to make some alterations at the entrance to the Marine Parade. He wished the Parade to be put in su^h order so as to do away with womplaints. He gathered from the directors that they disputed their rights as frontagers. He was sure that the people who were willing to carry out the improvements would only be to glad if the Board would enforce the power.—The Clerk said that if the Board could enforce the provisions of the Act,, plans would have to be deposited in the Board rcotii.- Mr H. Owen proposed and it was agreed, that the matter should be referred to a special meeting to he held in the latter end of August. The Glanymor Alley.-It was resolved that the resolutions passed on the 12th May last, respecting Glanymor Alley should he rescinded. Infectious Diseases (Notification) Act.-The Bo 3rd adopted the Infectious Diseases (Notification) Act, and it was agreed to-advertise the adoption in the Cambrian Sews. The Seiner Outrall.-A committee of the whole Board was held to consider this question.

Jones, Thomas Davies, Edward Jones, R. Edwards, clerk, E. Davies, surveyor.—A letter was read from the Clerk of the County Council requiring the Board to continue repairing the main roads and that the Council would repay expenses together with a moiety of the salaries. The Clerk was directed to write to the Clerk of the Council re- questing payment of two thirds of the salaries or the matter would be referred to the Local Government Board.—A sub- committee was appointed consisting of Messrs J. Williams, chair- man, Thomas .lones, and John Thomas to enquire into the amount expended on the Festiniog main road with a view of making a claim on the Welsh Whiskey Distillery Company for extraordinary tratfic.- The Clerk was directed to procure the certificate of the County Surveyor as to the state of the main roads every three months.—The question of dissolving the Board and reverting to the old system was discussed at some length, but ultimately it was resolved that the Board continue as hereto- fore.
