Llandudno Urban District Council. SUNDAY ADVERTISING. THE FOOTPATH QUESTION. The monthly meeting of the above Council was held on Friday evening, presided over by ) Mr. E. E. Bone. The other Councillors present were Messrs. J. McMaster, F. J. Sarson, W. Thomas, W. H. Jones, Hugh Edwards, R. Ro- berts, D. Davies, W. O. Williams, James Marks, S. Chantrey, Pierce Jones and A. E. Vollam with the Deputy Clerk (Mr. W. D. Longshaw), the Deputy Engineer (Mr. W. T. Ward), the Accountant (Mr. Walter Wood), the Electric Engineer (Mr. Harold Morton) and the Gas Manager (Mr. W. Shadbolt). MAESDU CROSSING. The Assistant Surveyor submitted a letter fiom the London and North Western Railway Company, forwarding a plan of a 36ft. wide Bridge ior vehicular traffic over Maesdu cross- ing, and stating that the estimated cost is £5620, which sum they could not reasonably be asked to expend on a bridge for the immediate requirements of the district. The Committee fully considered the matter, and having regard to the necessity of a bridge capable of accommodating vehicular and pedes- trian traffic, decided to write the Company further urging them to consider a scheme for a bridge of less width, and to suggest a bridge of iS feet wide (including a narrow footpath on one side only) which would doubtless meet the re- quirements of the district. The Assistant Engineer was requested to com- municate with the Company in the matter. THE COUNCIL AND DOUBTFUL FOOT- PATHS. The Works Committee reported that they had considered further the list of footpaths in the district which a number of years ago were enteied in a list headed "doubtful." On that occasion there was a consultation between the Council and representatives of the landowners, when three lists were prepared, one of paths admittedly public, another of those considered doubtful "-a rather unfortunate word to use in this connection—and the third of paths over which there was no legal right of way. The Committee now recommended that the path to the Smugglers' Cave," that from Llanrhos to Maesdu road, and that from Abbey road to the zigzag" path be claimed as public that the path in Albert Gardens be left as doubtful and that two paths at the Craigy- don end of the town be left as at present, the public having now free access to the path and the surrounding mountain land. Three other paths were mentioned on the Little Orme, and it was requested by the Committee that they should be opened on sufferance. On considering the report and recommenda- tions, the Council decided to substitute for left as doubtful in regard to the Albert Gardens path the words to be further considered," and to omit with respect to the three paths on the Little Orme the words on sufferance," the effect being to request that these paths should be claimed as public. With reference to the paths off Colwyn-road along the road leading to Ti- Ucha' farm, Mr. McMaster said it appeared to him that they had nothing to do with asking that to be opened on sufferance, but to claim them boldly, straight- forwardly and honestly, if they believed them to be public footpaths. Mr. W. O. Williams then moved that the Committee be requested to approach Lord Mostvn with the view of opening out footpaths in different parts of the locality on sufferance, with the right to close them or vary their direc- tion in the event of the plans for the develop- ment of the estate being at any time varied. There were splendid walks over the hills in the direction of Towyn. It was impossible to walk along the main roads at present owing to the dust. Mr. Robert Roberts said he would second if Mr. Williams would agree that they approach Lord Mostyn pointing out the desirability of creating more footpaths, and that these should be dedicated to the public use for ever. Mr. Williams would not agree to this. Mr. A. E. Vollam then seconded the proposi- tion, which was agreed to. THE HEALTH OF THE TOWN. Mr. James Marks, Chairman of the Health Committee, stated that the death rate for the nrst six months of the year in the urban area was at the rate of nine per 1000 of the popula- tion, which was considered to be exceedingly favourable. On the report of the Committee, Mr. McMaster said that last week his attention had been drawn by the Sanitary Inspector to a seizure which he had made which consisted of two lumps ol almost putrid bacon. Mr. Marks I don't think this matters. Mr. McMaster It is not a matter which wants hushing up. The Chairman It will come before the Health Committee. Mr. McMaster I want to know whether steps are being taken to prevent this sort of thing going on. Mr. Marks: The Committee have given in- structions for legal proceedings to be taken in the matter. Mr. McMaster Then I am satisfied. I don't want things to be hushed up as they have been in the past. BAND PERFORMANCES ON THE PROMENADE. The Bye-laws Committee recommended the following pitches on the promenade for the bandstand: -.Monday, Glanymor terrace; Tues- day, St. George's-crescent; Wednesday, Glodd- aeth-crescent; Thursday, Mostvn-crescent; Friday, Neville-crescent; Saturday, Penrhyn- crescent. There was a long discussion about this matter after which it was decided to alter the position on Wednesday to Craigydon, and Saturday to Gloddaeth-crescent. Mr. James Marks complained that every morn- ing the fcand and the minstrels had stands near the Prince of Wales hotel, and a more discord- ant row when both were on together could not be heard. It was impossible to do any work in an office, or even near the telephone. Would the Committee see about this matter ? It was horrible to hear the discordant notes of two or three sets of musicians. Mr. Sarson: In St. Mary's-road, the other day, there were three hurdy gurdies going at the same time. I will place the matter before the Bye-laws Committee. LLANRHOS POST OFFICE. A letter was read from the Postmaster asking for the Council's observations upon the follow- ing changes in the openings of the Llanrhos Post Office: week day's, 8.30 to 7 p.m. Sunday, 8.30 to 10 a.m. bank holidays, 8.30 to 12 noon. It was also proposed to close on half holidays (Wednesdays) out of the season at 1 p.m. The Council expressed agreement with the change. FREE TRADE MEETINGS. Mr. R. Frank Jones, Secretary of the Free Trade Union, wrote applying for permission to hold meetings in the Council field from August 1st to September 3rd in furtherance of Free Trade principles. He desired to say that it was a non-political organisation, and the Council could rest assured that the meetings would be well conducted. On the motion of Mr. Robert Roberts, it was decided to give the Union a pitch near the entrance to the field from Conway road. A LANDLADY'S COMPLAINT. A communication was read from a Mrs. Hob- son, complaining of a verandah which had been II placed on the Marine hotel, and which ob. structed all the view from her dining room, thus j making it impossible for her to get any visitors. I Mr. Chantrey said that a plan was submitted by Mr. Gauntlett, but was not approved of, be- I cause the screen came out so far. During the last week, Mr. Gauntlett had placed a blind, and Mrs. Hobson and her daughter came to see him (Mr. Chantrey) about it as Chairman of the Committee, and stated that it was a great nuis- ance to people staying in her house, and he could see that it was. The blind was ten or twelve feet long, and they could not see towards the Pier at all. He (the speaker) asked the deputy Surveyor to write to Mr. Gauntlett, but it had no effect; and he suggested that Mrs. Hobson should write to the Council. The Assistant Surveyor said he had had no reply to his letter. On the suggestion of the Chairman, the matter was referred to the Works Committee with power to act. It was further decided to again write to the proprietor of the Marine hotel. THE FREE LIBRARY. The Chairman stated that Lord Mostyn and Lady Mostyn would perform the opening cere- mony of the Llandudno Free Library, and that the ceremony would probably take place on Monday, September 19th. (Applause)." A discussion occurred as to the order pro- posed to be given for a screen and counter for the lending department of the library at a cost of Zgo. It was contended by Mr. S. Chantrey that as there were no funds for the payment of the bill it was most unbusinesslike to get the work done. Probably they would be surcharged by the auditor when they paid the bill. Mr. Pierce Jones and other speakers called for a statement of the financial position of the library undertaking. Mr. James Marks stated that he had all along protested against the site for which they had practically to pay £1000, of which they had had ony £600 in hand. The Chairman pointed out that the Chairman of the Committee (Mr. Robert Roberts) had issued an appeal for subscriptions towards the payment of the debt upon the undertaking, some ^600 altogether, including the cost of the work now proposed to be done. It was hoped that the amount would be raised; through the medium of a bazaar if not by contributions of individual subscribers, and if it were not it could be met out of the proceeds of the penny rate, though that would rather cripple the Com- mittee. The amendment to defer the ordering of the screen and counter was defeated by seven votes to five. THE MOTOR COMPANY AND SUNDAY ADVERTISING. Mr. Pierce Jones inquired whether the per- mission given to the Motor and Garage Com- pany to run a motor charbanc through the streets before ten o'clock each day for adver- tising purposes meant that the Company were to be allowed ,to run the car and blow their horn on the seventh dav. Mr. F. J. Sarson, the Chairman of the Bve- laws Committee, pointed out that the resolution read each day." There was no exclusion ot Sunday. Several members stated that Sunday was clearly meant to be excluded. The Deputy Clerk (Mr. Longshaw) read the following letter from the manager of the Motor and Garage Company (Mr. G. W. Browne) NN-ith regard to the advertising coach on Sunday mornings, I am quite willing to discon- tinue this if it hurts the feelings of the towns- people. Of course I would like to point out to you that our competitors (the horse-drawn coaches) run their coaches round the town on Sundays with lettering on them showing where they are going to, and I think we ought to have the same facilities. I trust you will bear this in mind when debating the subject. As regards your complaint about our blowing on a four-note musical horn when going round the town, I may say that this horn was bought with the'in- tention of drawing visitors' attention to our coaches and not to create a nuisance. As you are aware, our competitors have a coach horn on which they lustily draw musical notes, and as my men are not experienced on this instru- ment I had to fall back on the mechanical type. (Laughter). I trust this explanation will prove to the Council that my Company are here to do a perfectly legitimate business and also to up- hold the traditions of the town." It was decided to accept the offer of Mr. Browne to discontinue the Sunday morning run of the advertising car. CORONATION DATE. On the motion of Mr. Pierce Jones, it was decided to ask Mr. William Jones, M.P., and other members of Parliament to do their best to have the date of the Coronation next June nxed as early in the month as possible, so'that the least possible injury may be done to the interests of the seaside and other holiday re- sorts. J PROPOSED NEW ROADS. The agreement with the Mostyn Estate was finally approved for the construction of the new road to Craigydon. The Council also appointed a deputation to interview Mr. John Owen, the Chairman of the Carnarvonshire County Council, with reference to the proposed main road through Rhos-on-Sea to Colwyn Bay.

Alleged Cruelty to a Child at Colwyn Bay. THE CASE DISMISSED. At the Colwyn Bay Police Court, on Saturday, before Mr. J. W. Lumley and eight other Magis- trates, Abel Jones and his wife, Alice Jones, of 9, Ivy street, Colwyn Bay, were summoned by Inspector James, of the R.S.P.C.C., for cruelty to their five year old daughter, Nancy. Mr. Francis Nunn, Colwyn Bay, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. E. A .Crabbe, Colwyn Bay and Abergele defended. The mother and the little daughter entered the box, and the father stood close by. They were respectably attired. Owing to the little one being unseen in the defendant's box, by order of the Bench, she was placed by her father on a seat in full view of the Court. So well and clean did the child appear that astonishment was shown that she should be the cause of the case. Mr. Nunn said that the case was first repre- sented to the Society in January of this year, when it was stated that the child was being ill- treated and neglected. Several visits were made by the Inspector of the Society, and an improve- ment appeared in the condition of the child, so much so, that in May the Society struck the case off their books. On the 4th July, from informa- tion received, the Inspector's attention was again called to the case, as it was stated that the ill-treatment was being continued, and the Society were bound to take action. The child was five years of age, and lived with her father an i step-mother. The father was in the employ of the Urban District Council, and in receipt of 2os. per week, out of which he paid 5s. rent. The Chairman (looking at the child) This is not the child? Mr. Grabbe Yes. Inspector James gave evidence that on Mon- day, the 4th July, in company with Sergeant Thomas, he saw the child, Nancy Jones. She was timid. He examined her, and found five bruises on the left arm seven on the right arm one on her right temple one on the left side of the chin a sore on the left buttock a scratch a little lower down; a bruise under the left shoulder five red spots and four bruises on her right leg and a lump, which seemed the result of a blow, on her left leg. She was also filthy with dirt. Witness drew the attention of the mother to the condition of the girl, and she re- plied that the child had fallen down against a mangle at the back, and that the injury on the left thigh was caused with her being scalded some time previously. She also stated that the marks on the buttock were caused by the child falling off a box in the yard. The marks on the legs she could not account for. She ate well, she said, and witness could not account for the child being so delicate. The mother said she bathed the child every day, and could not under- stand her dirty condition. The father was not present on this occasion. On the same evening witness visited the house with Sergeant Thomas, when' the father was present. Witness called attention again to the bruises, and the mother said that they were caused by the child's father in a temper. She said that sometimes when he was in a temper he slapped the child violently, and that he did not know when to stop, and she (the mother) had to stop him. The father admitted causing the bruises on the arm, which were caused by him getting hold of her because she would not put her boots on. He also said she was a stubborn child, and he had to whip her because she would not attend school, and that she told lies about the teacher. The father also said, I am very sorry. I will never repeat it." The child had much improved, and was brighter and cleaner. He would not think it was the same child. The Chairman She looks very well. One would not think that child was ill-treated. By Mr. Crabbe The mother of the child told him she was confined, and in consequence of her being in bed, the child was neglected. He could not recollect her saying she would send for the doctor, and have some medicine for her. Be- tween January and May there was an improve- ment in the condition of the child. He ad- mitted that now the child looked very well. By Mr. Nunn He made no allegation that the child did not get enough to eat. Dr. Venables Williams said that he made a medical inspection of the children in the Infants School on the 4th July. The child in question was of the average intelligence, but badly nour- ished, her hair had knits, and she was filthy dirty. She was also flea-bitten, there were several bruises on the body, and her feet were as black as coal. Dr. Williams, the Medical In- spector for the Denbighshire Education Author- ity, was present, and witness asked that the police be sent for, and instruction given to the Society. By Mr. Nunn The Inspector's statement was not at all exaggerated. The child was not well nourished. By Mr. Crabbe The marks on the arms were consistent with the father shaking the child. He would hardly have known the child that day. The child on the 4th July was not properly nourished and was suffering from heart disease. Dr. Morris Jones, Colwyn Bay, said he was called in to see the baby of the defendants just after Mrs. Jones confinement in January. Mrs. Jones asked him to look at the little girl, Nancy, who had been suffering from diarrahoea. He treated the child and saw her on several occa- sions. The house was a fair working man's house, and was as clean as an average working man's house was expected to be. By Mr. Nunn The female defendant had no doctor during her confinement. He did not think he made a thorough examination of the girl Nancy, as he was called to see the baby. During the five or six weeks that he called it was to see the baby. During that time Nancy had improved. She was, in his estimation, clean enough. Her heart was not what it should be. It was diseased slightly. By the Chairman: In March he did not think the child was neglected. Sergeant W. A. Thomas corroborated the evidence of the Inspector, and stated that there were three large loaves and butter in the house on the 4th July. By Mr. Crabbe The male defendant was a very respectable, hard working man. He had not, to witness' knowledge, been guilty of gross and wilful neglect. By the Chairman He had always found Jones regular at work and had never seen him worse for drink. He had no suspicion anything was wrong until his attention was drawn. Miss Margaret Ellen Owen, head teacher at the Infants' School, gave evidence as to noticing the bruises about the child's face on the 4th July. They were there pretty often, and her hand was swollen and discoloured on one occa- sion. The child did not seem frightened of her at school, nor did she find her stubborn but that might be through them in the schools being able to manage the children better than parents. She was a nice, willing child. She looked that s V, day decidedly better, than when she saw her before. Mr. Crabbe, addressing the Bench, said that so far as negligence and ill-treatment was con. cerned there was not a tittle of evidence upon which their worships could convict. As to assault, unless it could be proved that it was intently done with the man's mind bent on doing harm the Bench could not convict. The defendants had been perfectly straightforward in the matter, and he hoped the Bench would dismiss the case. After some consultation, the Chairman said the Bench had considered the case as far as it had gone. The prosecution was a very proper one to take but the Bench had come to the con- clusion so far as the evidence went the case for the prosecution failed. Mr. Nunn: In the opinion of the Bench the Society were quite justified in taking the pro- ceedings ? The Chairman Quite.
IThe Tramp Pest in North Wales.

I The Tramp Pest in North Wales. HOW THEY ARE TREATED AT CONWAY. I (SPECIALLY WRITTEN BY A TRAMP.) There is no doubt that every year sees an in- crease in the number of tramps, who, during the summer season, invade North Wales. Every village and town is troubled by their solicita- tions, and it is high time the Poor Law Auth- orities set forth on some attempt to solve this serious problem. It is said that the tramp will not work in its entirety this statement is not correct, rather it should read, the tramp will not stick to work. Many of the men one sees on the road have had a score of jobs during the year, either on some public works or Corporation alterations. They probably last a fortnight, then get paid up, spend the money on drink, then penniless take to the road once more. There are, however, to be found tramping North Wales a few genuine workmen out of em- ployment. These, unlike the tramp, are eager for work, and it is towards this class that one's sympathies should be extended but again, unlike the tramp, they shrink from bringing their privations before the public, and conse- quently go hungry. In this short article, I wish to show the readers of the Weekly News that the tramp can obtain in Conway sufficient food and shelter to fit him for another journey, without troubling the back- doors of charitably-inclined householders. I, myself, in my endeavours to gain some know- ledge of the life of the road, have visited many casual wards in England and Wales. I have walked and talked with hundreds of tramps, and shared some of their joys, and not a few of their sorrows, and 1 can assure my readers that he is a poor tramp who goes hungry. Before, however, entering into details as to the treatment meted out to tramps at the Con- way Workhouse, it will be interesting to notice some of the slang terms used by these road- sters." Conway vagrant ward he refers to as a der- rick," a spike," or a grubber the food he obtains there as his rooty the bed as his lay down," and the stones he has to break are crackers- He will speak of the Workhouse attendant as the tramp major," and his clothes as his clobber." Ask the tramp his occupation, and he will tell you, he is a "door thumper" or gagger" (one who can tell plausible tales), or else a griddler (a street singer). The walk from place to place he calls a stage," and the road a drag if it be a main road, the main drag." The other evening I PASSED OVER CONWAY BRIDGE in company with a typical specimen. We were both wet through, for the rain had been falling continuously for several hours but as my com- panion wore two coats and his waistcoat, he was better off than mvself. We mun go to the Perlice Station, fust, matey," he said, as we entered the town, and get a ticket for the spike there." So together we entered the Police Station, and confronted the Sergeant with a request for tickets. Here, on each ticket, was entered our names, ages, occupations, destinations, birth- place, and time of application. Thus armed, we mounted the hill towards the Bangor-road, on which the" Spike is situated, "A Wonder whether it's a dry bread derrick." conjectured my companion, as we went along aint been here before, I suppose ? I assured him I had not, and hoped myself it was not a dry bread un "—that is, a vagrant ward where the dietary table consists of 8ozs. of dry bread night and morning, with an unlim- ited supply of hot or cold water. Reaching the Workhouse, we were received at the main door by an attendant, who took our tickets and handed us over to the porter. He then conducted us up a flight of steps to what was to be our bed-chamber for the night. Here an agreeable surprise awaited us, for in the room were about fourteen bedsteads with spring mattresses. A small fire burned in a grate at one end of the place, and around it were several other tramps drying their clothes, an example which we quickly followed. At half-past seven we each received two warm rugs, and our suppers, which consisted of nearly a pint of very good oatmeal gruel and about 8025. of bread. It was not long before this was consumed, and all wrapped in the rugs on the spring mattresses. But not for sleep. The conversation was brisk, if not choice. The tramps related their adventures, told of villages where the police were" hot," of" spikes" where the work was terrible to perform, of houses where food could be easily obtained, of the various schemes to be adopted, of past companions, .1 Peg-Leg jii-pmy," Sailor Mike," Old Jock," and Scittv," and the Workhouse bell had rung a long time before silence fell on the place. Only now and then was it broken by the sighing of some weary roadsters, or the groaning of some troubled mind. I can assure my readers that I slept comfort- ably and warmly until the bell at seven o'clock aroused us, and we all rose and dressed. Soon our breakfast appeared, again of gruel and bread. Then came THAT TERRIBLE BUGBEAR of the tramp-Work We were all ushered downstairs and each placed in a stone cell, a compartment furnished with a sloping iron window in which were a number of round holes about two inches in dia- meter, two hammers, and a quantity of stones. Our task was to break the stones into sum- ciently small pieces to pass through the holes in the window, and so out into the yard. For the ordinary tramp who has the knack," stone- breaking is no hardship, but for one who is un- accustomed to such work it plays havoc with his hands, and however hard he attacks the stones, he gets little result. The white-washed walls of the cell in which I was placed was cov- ered with many drawings and poetical effu- sions of previous occupants. 1 give am example of a tramp poet:— Men with brains come here to rest, And they try and do their level best; While some come here their art to waste, And the beauty of these walls deface." I can assure my readers, however, that the walls are not very beautiful. However, at eleven o'clock, came the welcome order to cease work, and, after a wash, the com- pany were released to tramp the highway once more. In concluding this short article, I cannot but congratulate the officials of the Conway vagrant ward on the humanity of the treatment meted out to those who visit it. The food is good and sufficient, and the shelter comfortable and warm. H. STUART BAKER.

What is your father, my boy?" asked a teacher of a promising lad in a certain Welsh school. "He is a step-father, and not my father," was the reply. Never mind," said the teacher, impatiently what is he?" Well," answered the boy, he's done nothing since we've had him."
