That would purchase this interest in both estates.

Brookes.—The Rector, in the course of an interesting address, said he would not like the place to become a lazy, lounging, place, where the young men could come night iafter niight to dawdle tjhei-r existence away, buit a man was created to be a social being, and the institution could be a great blessing to those who were starting life. Thev should not. make the Y.M.,C.A. another chapel or a-notiher church (applause). There were plenty of dhapels and churches in Llandudno, and he hoped they would take full .advanf a"1 of them, In the Y.M.C.A. they wanted to bring Ohris- tian influences to bear upon the things they did. The Y.M.C.A. was not intended to be a rival to the churches and chapels, but a. rival to the public-houses. In that respect he honed it would be the means of broadening and widen;]' nig the outlook of all the members.— Mr Humphreys said that the committee were endeavourinoj to proceed on lines which would co-incide with the general principles so elo- quently laid down by the Rector (applause).

Rawson Williams proposed, at Tuesday's meeting of the Board cf Guardians,, that only £ 5 5s "per annum be subscribed in future to the funds of the district nurse, as her services were not now required in the house.—'Asked for his opinion whether they ought even to subscribe C5 5s, Mr O. Evans-Jones (the reliev- ing officer) said that he knew of one pauper case which the nurse attended all the year' roifnd. She might be attending other cases unknown to him. In fact, the nurse went everywhere where her services were required. —Mr John Berr^ stated that the nurse was doing excellent work. and her services to the poor were much more than the L5 5s.—Mr John Lloyd Morris (Peiwnachno) said that it was a case where the town should pay, and not to draw upon the general body of ratepayers. The country got no benefit whatsoever.—Mr 0. E. Parry "(Dohvyddelen) seconded the motion of the Rev Rawson Williams.—The Rev John. (fewer stated that- he sympathised much with what Mr Lloyd Morris had .said, but it was well that somebody looked afteT the poor jpedple who crowded to the towns, as if they had fallen from the moon. In the country, people lilad either relatives or friends to attend to them during illness.—The motion was then passed.
