Llanrwst Board of Guardians.
Llanrwst Board of Guardians. OFFICIAL SALARIES. The monthly meeting of the Guardians was held on Tuesday, Mr John Roberts, J.P., presiding. Others present were Mr D. G. Jones (vice), Revs John Gower, J. Ll. Richards, Henry Jones, and H. Rawson Williams Messrs. John Hughes, John Davies, E. W. Roberts, John Berry, W. G. Jones, Rowland Hughes, David Jones, W. Williams, John Davies, Edward Roberts, Isaac Hughes, David Owen, T. T. Roberts, and John Davies with the Clerk (Mr Thomas Hughes), the Reliev- ing Officers (Messrs O. Evans Jones and T. C. Roberts), and the Master (Mr Edward Hughes). RELIEF. Relieving Officer (Mr T. C. Roberts) reported having spent £ 70 14s 6d amongst 141 paupers, a cheque for £35 was granted for current relief. Mr O. Evans Jones reported having paid £ 104 in relief amongst 130 paupers, and a cheque for £50 was granted for the next fortnight's expenses. THE MATRON'S SALARY. According to notice, the Rev. H. Rawson Wil- liams, moved that the Board consider the advis- ability of increasing the matron's salary. He read statistics showing that they as Guardians paid less to their matron by £ 5 than any other similar institution. They were now also saving from extra work a sum of between £ 14 and £ 15 annually, and he asked those present to take these facts into consideration. Mr W. G. Jones asked if Mrs Thomas, the previous matron, did not receive the same amounts? The Chairman: Yes, and she was very dis- satisfied. Mr Wiliiams, he thought, had stated the case very clearly. Mr D. G. Jones said the difference between the Matron's and the Assistant Matron's salary was absurd, only £2. That amount was all right when Mrs Jones was matron and her daughter as assistant, as it was all in the family, but when it came between others it made all the difference, and he supported the advance. Mr John Hughes also supported the idea. Rev John Gower did not think it fair that officials, immediately they were appointed, as it were, made application for advance. He dis- approved of these constant applications, but in order to encourage Mrs Hughes he would propose an increase of £ 5. Mr John Hughes seconded, and Mr D. G. Jones supported. Rev J. Ll. Richards moved an amendment that they do not consider the application just at that period. Perhaps those who had spoken did not consider the salary as a joint one as between Master and Matron. It struck him as being strange that the Rev. Rawson Williams should always be the one to propose these advances, and he would like to ask if Mr Williams paid rates ? (cry of "Withdraw "). Mr Richards (proceeding): Yes, I am perfectly willing to withdraw. I only asked because I wanted to know. The Rev. Rawson Williams, said he did not believe the remarks uttered by Mr. Richards were fair to him. He paid as much rates as any of them. „ T The Rev. J. LI. Richards: Very well, sir, I am satisfied. 8.8 Mr. Williams, speaking with much heat, said Mr. Richaids was the only man who during his life time who had challenged him in such a way, and he could not take the remarks irom such an inexperienced man. Mr. William Williams seconded the amendment. Messrs. Rowland Hughes, W. E. Jones and John Davies supported. Twelve voted for the amendment and 7 for the original motion. The Chairman said he much regretted that they had not thought fit to raise the matron's salary. AMOUNT OF CALLS. The Clerk reported that the amount of calls for the half year ending Lady-dav, 1910, was £ 3,400, out of which a sum of £ 2,182 would be contributed by grants and other sources, leaving the net amount to be apportioned at £I,212-a rate of std. BOARDING OUT. For the girl Caroline Davies to be boarded out there were a large number of applications. The Board decided to accept the application of Mrs. Williams, Ty'n-y-Ffordd, Llanddewi, for a sum of I 2S. 6d. per week. .a-
IMerioneth Choral Society.
I Merioneth Choral Society. Acting on the suggestion, made some few weeks ago at Harlech Castle by Sir Osmond Williams, M.P., as to the necessity of restarting the old choral festival which used to be held/ at the Castle the leading musicians of the county met at Barmouth onSaturday, and on the pro- position of Mr. W. Morris Jones, seconded1 by Mr. Lloyd Evans, Penrhyndeudraeth, it was unanimously decided to restart the old choral festival. The first is to be held during the sum- mer of 1910 at Harlech Castle. An influential committee was appointed to carry out the ar- rangements. It was reported that the following towns had already promised to send choirs to the festival:—Portmadoc, Dolgelley, Barmouth, Towyn, Blaenau Festiniog, Penrhyndeudraeth, and Talsarnau. It was decided that the festival should comprise an. area from Portmadoc to Machynlleth, and also as far as Corwen. His Majesty's Inspector of .Schools (Mr. L. J. Ro- berts), in apologising for his absence, wrote that he sincerely hoped that the old Harlech choral festival would be revived, a festival which had done so much for Welsh music twenty years ago.

Plain stall: Mrs. John Roberts, Bryn Celyn; Mrs. D. W. Thoirfis, Bod Addysg Miss Jones, 48, Mostyn-street; Miss M. Lloyd, Tegfan.

After a pianoforte solo had been cleverly played by Miss Nellie Humphreys, the Chair. man delivered an address. Mr. William Jones, M.P., who was given a very hearty reception, delivered an interesting address, in which he tendered valuable advice to the women and men Liberals of Llandudno. Then he turned to the Budget. u Don;lt you be afraid of the Welsh Chancel- lor," declared the speaker, amidst enthusiasm. He will get through all right. He has been subjected to excessive vituperation during the last few days. I don't thing anybody, csccept, perhaps, Mr. Gladstone, has been dealt with with such scurrilous calumny as Mr. Lloyd George. He can hit hard himself, but he does not use vituperation to any single individual, but takes a class which has been monopolising a privilege. He does not touch an individual, but those people through their journals have just selected him. and poured all the fire of their wrath, their vituperation, their calumny upon him; but he still remains untouched. (Loud applause.) He has the people with him, ano this Budget of his has touched the conscience and the hearts of the people. From experience I can tell you that in the most benighted places where Toryism is rampant this Budget has quickened the pulse of life, and hardened Tories sav that there is something m the Budget that will give hope for the future." After the pleasing rendering of a song by Miss Emmie Underwood, Mrs. John Roberts proposed and Miss Parry seconded, a cordial vote of thajnks to the Chairman and Mr. William, Jones, M.P. --=
Colwyn Bay and District Schools.
Colwyn Bay and District Schools. THE NEGLECT ENGLISH GRAMMAR. A meeting of the Colwyn Bay and District Education Committee was held on Tuesday at the 'County School, Abergele. The Rev. John Edwards (Chairman) presided, and there were also present Messrs. E. H. Millward, J. Inglis, W. Griffiths, and D. Vaugham; with the Clerk (Mr. F. T. Holmes), Some months ago the Committee drew the at. tention of the Denbighshire Education Authority to the desirability of children in the elementary schools receiving instruction in English gram- mar. The authority asked the Denbighshire Countv Association of Teachers for their opin- ion on the matter, and now forwarded! to the Committee a copy of the reply received, add- ing that the authority did not think any change m the present practice was at all necessary. Mr. Millward deplored the fact that the rudi- ments of grammar were not taught in. the eJe- menan-y schools. How could children be ex- pected to. write or speak correctly when they were totally igmorant of grammar? Mr. Wil- liams, the headmaster of the Abergele County School, complained bitterly of the state in, which the children were sent from the elementary schools. Hej would suggest that Mr. Williams be asked there and then to give his opinion on the siubiect. (lhear, hear.) )The suggestion being received: with warm ap- proval by the meeting, Mr. Millward proposed, and Mr. Tnglis seconded, that Mr. Williams be asked to attend. In reply to the chairman, Mr. Williams gave Jieasons whv in his opinion the omission off formal English grammar from the curriculum of the elementary schools was a serious handicap to pupils who continued their education in the secondary schools. After further discussion, the Committee re- solved to brine the matter once again before the notice of the Education Authority, and strongly recommended that formal grammar be taught in the elemenitary schools.

...-.--Llandudno Junction…
Llandudno Junction Ratepayers' Association. The fourth annual public meeting in connec- tion with the above Association was held at Llandudno Junction on Monday evening, when Mr. D. Clwyd Griffith presided over a good at- tendance. A GRATIFYING REPORT. Mr. David Robertson, the secretary, read the report of the past year's work, which after re- cording the thanks of the Association, to the re- tiring officials, referredl to the question of ob- taining a Public Hall and Institute for the Junc- tion. The matter had received the serious atten- tion of the General Committee, but olwinlg to the lack of support from'the various places of wor- ship in' the district the Committee did not feel justified in proceeding with the scheme. They, however, referred the matter to' an independent committee, consisting of some of the leading gentlemen of the district, who had met on several occasions, but had not yet reported any 'progress. The Association further reported that they had succeeded in inducing the Parish Council to provide fire extinguishing appliances for Llandudno Junction, which should prove a great boon to the district, and were pleased to note 'that their efforts to get a supply of gas had at: last been crowned with success, and that within a month or so the Conway Corporation would be suuplying gas to the various houses in the Junction. The report concluded by according the thanks of the Association1 to Mr. John Hughes, wheel- wnÏight, for his kindness in granting the use of. a meeting room to the Association throughout the year. The Committee also tendered their thanks to Mr. Peter Gray for the gift of a hand- some chair for the use of the. Chairman. Mr. Henry Nevitt., in moving the adoption of the report, said with regard to the Public Hall question the Committee had gone into the mat- ter in a most practical manner. They had drafted a scheme for a Public Hall and Insti- tute, and had solicitedi the co-operation of the leaders of the Church and chapels of the dis- trict but unfortunately failed to come to an agreement. The Association had been instru- menital in obtaining the support, both financially and otherwise, of wealth and influential gentle- men of the district, providing the young people themselves would; show their inclination to as- sist the movement. The young people were ap- pealed to, but the response only amounted to two or three pounds. So it was now apparent to all that thei responsibility did not rest with the Ratepayers' Association but with the people themselves. Mr. Regan, in. Iseconding, hoped that the new Committee would again take up the matter of advertising as well as that of a Public Hall and Institute. (Applause.) The report was unanimously adopted. The secretary submitted the accounts for the year, which had been duly audited by Mr. Thos. Cashman, and showed a balance in hand. On the proposition of Mr. George Edwards, seconded by Mr. Hugh Jones, the accounts were adopted. The Ohairmaa (Mr. D. Clwyd Griffith) con- gratulated the Committee upon the results of their laboar during the past year. The question of advertising the Junction! as a holiday centre was a matter that should be seriously considered by the new Committee The election of the Committee was then pro- ceeded with by ballot. The following were elec- ted -Messrs, D. C. Griffith, David Jones (butcher), Hugh Jones (Trefriw House), E. Regan (insurance broker), Henry Nevitt (Stanley Oak-terrace), David Robertson (Preswylfa), David Morris (Frondeg), Peter Gray (Mona House), George Edwards (Broad-street), J. Courtney, J. H. Piper, R.

Nid wyf yn gallu cymeradwyo gwaith y bobl iguainc sydd yn myued gyda'r trips hyn. Fel y gwyddis maent yn y tren oriau lawer cyn dydd, ac oriau wedi nos yn dychwelyd. Oherwydd hyn yr oedd nifer fawr iawn yn cysgu y Sul, ac yn esgeuluso eu cydgynulliad. Gormod gwaith ganddynt oedd codi o'u gorweddle y Sul wedi colli agos i ddwy noson o gysgu. Yr wyf wedi derbyn rhestr o enwau rhai oedd yn absennol o ———— ond yr wyf am drugarhau a pheidio eu rhoddi i fewn y tro yma. Ysgrifenir hefyd ataf yn dymuno arnaf alw sylw at beth arall, sef fod ugeiniau yn myned gyda'r trips hyn ar gost pobl eraill. Myned ag arian ddylent roddi i eraill. Mater i'w cydwybodau hwy ydyw hyny. "CYFRAITH Y TY. Dyma yr enw sydd ar gyfrol o bregethau gan y diweddar Mr. William Roberts, Maentwrog. Mae yn debyg fod Mr. Roberts yn un o'r pre- gethwyr cvnorthwyol mwyaf cymeradwy. Byddai galw ami am ei wasanaelh i brif gyfarfodydd y Wesleyaid. Teithiodd lawer drwy Dde a Gog- ledd Cymru, ac ymwelodd a'r Cymry yn y trefi Seisnig, a chymeradwy iawn fyddai ei wasanaeth bob amser. Yr oedd ei enw yn anwyl a'i barch yn uchel, a cholled i Gymru oedd ei golli ef. Cefais fwynhad yn ei wrandaw, a phleser hefyd i mi oedd cael ail olwg arno yn y pregethau hyn. Deallaf y gellir eu cael oddiwrth ei fab, y Parch. Gwilym Roberts, Eglwysbach. Er nad oedd awdwr y gyfrol yn un o wyr y coleg, mae y pre- gethau hyn yn tystio ei fod yn wr ag oedd yn berchen pen a chalon dda- CONWY. Yr oedd yn ddrwg gennyf nas gallaswn fod yn y cyfarfod pregethu oedd yma yr wythnos ddi- weddaf. Ymddengys fod y ddau frawd, y Parchn. Rhys J. Huws, Bethesda, ac Eifed Lewis, Llun- dain, wedi pregethu yn effeithiol iawn yn y cyf- arfod. Y Saboth diweddaf pregethai y Parch. Ellis Jones, Bangor, yn Seion. Oddiyma y symudodd efe i Fangor. Yn ei Ie ym Mangor pregethai y Parch. Luther Thomas. Rhoddwyd croesaw mawr i'r ddau. Canmol a glywais hefyd i'r cyfarfod pregethu a gaed yn y Junction, a pha ryfedd, onid ydyw y ddau weinidog oedd yno yn hysbys i ni oil ? Caraswn fod yno yn gwrandaw ar y Parch. J. Puleston Jones, M.A., a'r Parch. T. Williams, Gwalchmai. Yr oedd cynulliadau lliosog a phregethu grymus yno. Teimlid swyn yr hen awelon hyfryd. Tybiaf mae gwell i mi ydyw diweddu ar hyn y tro hwn.

Proposed Motor-Car Speed-limit…
Proposed Motor-Car Speed- limit at Colwyn Bay. To THE EDITOR OF THE Weekly News. Sir,—There is shortly to be a public inquiry into the question of two 10 miles speed limits for this district, the details of which have been published in your journal. There is, I think, a general disposition to agree to the application which has been made by the District Council, except as to the western extremity of Colwyn Bay. From Coed Pelllia-road to the Council Schools the main road is fairly broad and straight, the buildings abutting on it are as a rule set well back, and there 110 high hedges to obstruct the view at the junctions of cross roads, and such a limit as ten miles, which is .much less than many hOlrse vehicles are habitu- ally driven at, is between these two points un- necessary. On this point and so far as I am £ .ware on this only opposition will be offeiea to the application. I have recently returnedi from a motoring tour in Scotland and the North of England, and my experience as regards speed limits may possibly 'be useful. In 'the North of England I found but few, but in Scotland they appear to be num. erous. Between Stirling and Dunkeld there are several, with the result that motorists whenever possible take another route. Now Llandudho is the great objective for motorists who visit Niorth Wales. The. main route to it is through Llangollen and Bettws-y-Coed by Telford's mag- nificent road. I am sure we do not want to drive motorists by repeated pin pricks of ten mile limits into a greater use of that road and. the abandonment of the one through Colwyn Bay. I can remember the early outcry against cyclists and the time when Colwyn Bay itseilif was posted with notice boards designed to check the furious pace of those monsters in human form, and I am sure that the present happily fast changing attitude towards motor- ists will soon be as out of date as the feeling towards cyclists of twenty years ago. lit is not by absurd restrictions of speed upon, possibly trafficless stretches of road that the safety of the public is assured, buti by careful police regula- tion of the speed at particular places and under particular circumstances which call for it. Ten miles an hour at the top of Station-road and in the village of Mochdre is under normal circum- stances far more dangerous than thirty miles an hour opposite Councillor Purdy's house. Since dictating the above I have heard that there will be other and more serious abjection to the application.—Yours, &c., ERAS. NTJNN. Colwyn Bay, 12th October, 1909. -=
Glyndwr's Parliament House.
Glyndwr's Parliament House. BOUGHT BY A WELSH MEMBER. From £ 6,000 to £ 8,000 is the estimated cost of the latest public benefaction to Wales by Mr. David Davies, M.P., Plasdinam. This is the' conversion of the Parliament House at Machynlleth into a public institute and free library. In this ancient building Owen, Glyn- dwr was crowned Sovereign of Wales in 1402, and in the flush of successful rebel limn against the English he declared Wales to be a separate Principality. Here also he held his brief Parliament, and tradition has it that in one of the rooms Dafydd Gam attempted his assassination at the instigation of King Henry. Latterly the Parliament House has formed three dwelling-houses. Mr David Davies's scheme aims at retaining all the exterior charac- teristics, but it has been necessary to demolisii the interior in order to substitute a modexnly equipped reading-room, library, billiard-room, and restaurant. The walls and roof have been examined by an archaeologist, who dates the structure back to the tihirteenth or fourteetnh century. During the demolition imjportant dis. coveries have been made. Within one wall underneath a window the workmen, came across fourteen coins; one of these bears around a head the inscription "Jestin ap Gwrgan Tywysog Morganwg." This Jestin, son of Gwrgan, was a noted Prince of Deheubarth, and son of Gwrgan a Prince of Morganwg (Glamorgan). He in the eleventh or twelfth century repelled a Norman invasion under a baron whose coat-of-arms now constitutes the arms of the city of Cardiff. If this bronze coin proves to have been struck in Jestin's time it will probably prove a unique relic. The treasure-trove also included two trade tokens, dated xsii and 1813, the former being of id. value and circumscribed "Worcester City and County Token." The 1813 copper token for Yzd. bears the suggestive commentary upon the paper money of the period 11 Pure copper is better than paper." When completed the public institute will be handed over by Mr. David Davies, M.P., to the Machynlleth Urban Council.
