THE WIDENING Sc IMPROVEMENT OF HOLYWELL STREET. LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD INQUIRY. APPLICATION FOR LOAN. This (Thursday) morning, at the Town Hall, an inquiring directed by the Local Govern- ment Boa id into the application of the Flint Town Council for sanction to borrow £ 2,500 for the widening of Holywell-street, and for works of paving in Market square, was held by Lieut Colonel A. C. Smith, R.E., the Inspector appointed by the Local Govern- ment Board. There were present at the Inquiry, M: T. W.

Harrison, R. H. Evans, T. O' Donovan Mr Hugh Owen, Borough Surveyor; Mr E. Thomas, Borough Treasurer; Mr A. J, Mothersole, Assistant Clerk. There were a number of burgesses present. The Town Clerk stated that the application was made by the Council of the Borough of Flint for sanction to borrow £ 2,500 for the widening and improvement of Holywell- street, and for works of paving in Market. square. Proceeding to relate the sequence of events connected with the purchase of the property. At a meeting of the Finance Committee of the Corporation held on the 14th September, 1906, the resolution was passed:—"That the Town Clerk endeavour to buy the Tea Bank property and Qld Anchor and Smithy in Holywell-street, by private treaty at the price of 412 So or thereabouts." As the result of this resolution, he (the Town Clerk) negociated tor the purchase of the property mentioned, which was offered for sale by public auction on the 17th September, 1906, AND the property was purchased on that date J-c I, R e treaty prior to the sale by public AW on for the sum of ^1,350, On the 27th September, at a meeting of the Finance Committee he (the Town Clerk) reported the purchase of the property, and ABO, THAT- he had had an interview with MR Th»m*C Lloyd aa adjoining ewaer, who had given him an option of his shop and premises at the price of 4475, when the resolution I was passed-" That the Town Clerk close with Mr Thomas Lloyd for the sum of ^"475 subject to an agreement to be prepared between Mr Lloyd and the Corporation, and that the Town Clerk forthwith make applica- tion to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow the monies required for the purchase and the proposed street improve- ment." At the same meeting it was also resolved That Mr Samuel Evans, architect, Mold, be employed to prepared plans, Ac., in connection with the proposed street im- provements." The resolutions were duly confirmed at a meeting of the Council held on the Sth October, 1906. On the 25th October, a sketch plan prepared by Mr S. Evans, showing a proposal as to dealing with the matter marked up with the width of the existing road at various points with new widths of widened roads at the same points and the widths of land available for the erection of new property was submitted to the Finance Committee and approved by them, and Mr Evans was instructed to pre- pare the necessary plans for the Local Government Board. The resolution was confirmed by the Council on the 9th Nov. last. The Finance Committee had on the 28th November under consideration a plan submitted by Mr S. Evans, architect, Mold, with estimates and details of work of street improvements, and after due consideration of same it was resolved that application be made to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow a sum of not exceeding £2,50. for the widening and improvement of Holywell-street and other street imporve- ments to be repaid within 30 years. The resolution having been confirmed on the 10th Dec., was forwarded to the Local Government. The Town Council as the Urban District Council of the Borough have exercised their right to retain the re- pair of the main roads within the Borough in their hands and receive an annual grant in respect thereof from the Flintshire County Council. The Town" Clerk proceeded to state that the population of the Borough according to the last census taken in 1901 was 4,925, and the estimated population to the middle of 1906 was 5,000. The area of the Borough was 3,333 acres and the assessable value of the Borough was ,C i 1, 9 2 9. Holywell-street which it was proposed to widen was a part of the principal road between Chester and Holyhead. There was a very large traffic on the road which was an important thoroughfare and in the interest of public safety the proposed widening was essential. The only loan outstanding in respect of any part of the district in an amount of £634 9s. 6d., being the amount of i., 1850 borrowed on the a and of April, 1884 and sanctioned on the 12th September, 1883, for a period of 18 years for the purpose of draining works. The loan was advanced to the Mayor, Alderman and Burgesses of the Borough of Flint, in the County of Flint, acting as the Urban Sanitary Authority of the said Borough by the Mayorv Aldermen and Burgesses acting cn as the Corporation of the said Borough, and is secured by an indenture or mortgage of the General District Rate of the Borough dated 22nd April, 1884. The said sum of £ 1.850 was the amount realised by the sale of corporate land and was invested in Government annuities in pursuance of a warrant of two of the Lords Commission- ers of Her then Majesty's Treasury, dated 14th October, 1864. When it was found necessary to obtain the money for the purpose of street improvements the Council considered that the street between Holywell-street, and Market-square, which is repairable by the Council should be flagged and that the cost of the same should be included in the one amount. The flagging proposed to be done was practically around the Town Hall for a distance of about 525 yards. The purchase money was £ ^,825 and the estimated cost of demolition, flagging and incidental charges and contingencies brought the total to Z2,500, which amount the Council now applied that the Local Government Board should grant in loan. The Town Clerk, in reply to the Inspector, stated, there was considerable traffic on the road. During the Easter holidays, there passed over Queen'sferry bridge, about six miles distant, 2004 bicycles, 86 motorcycles, 34 tricycles, and a large number of auto- mobiles. Most of that traffic passed through Flint, along the road to the North Wales coast towns. The road from between the Town Hall and the end of Holywell-street had not a greater width than 16.8ft. from wall to wall, and from that width a footpath reduced it by about two feet, leaving a width of road of only 14ft. No contribution had as yet been made by the County Council, but application had been made for a grant, and he should do his best to get it. The grant, if made would be in a lump sum, and made under sub-section 4, of section i i, of the Local Government (County Councils) Act, 1884. The application was made for a loan for thirty years. The idea of the Town Council was to sell the surplus land and to pay off an amount of the loan to the extent the surplus property realised. Mr Hugh Owen gave evidence as to the road proposed to be made, giving particulars of the structure of the road, sidepaths and channels Ald. Jos. Hall, supported the application, and said there was a danger, owing to the narrowness of Holywell-street before the days of motor cars and cycles. Local traffic was congested, and the authorities had to divert slow and quick traffic for public safety. He recollected accidents on the road, and one occasion was when Mr Gladstone visited Flint during on election. There was a melee in the street and an accident The widening of Holywell-street would be a boon to the town and district. Mr Pumphrey, ironmonger, whose premises are at the corner of Church-street and Holywell-street, said he as a tenant of part of the property suffered by the proposed work but as a burgess he supported the movement. He had to vacate his business premises, but lived in hope of being able to buy from the! Corporation some of the surplus property. The improvement had been greatly needed for the past few years, owing to the fast traffic On at least two occasions his windows had been smashed by accidents due to the narrow, road. Mr Leighton, blacksmith, HolywtU-street,; said he was a sufferer by the purchase of the; property, but he supported the application. He was strongly in favour of the widening of the street as the most necessary improvement that could be effected in the town. Lieut.-Colonel Smith: Everyone- appears to be agreed that it is the best improvement, and no one offers any. opposition, I will now view the property and the street. The Town Clerk On behalf of .the Cor- poration I beg to thank you for the attention you have given the inquiry. -Alderman,,Hall seconded the proposition which was carried, Lieut..Colonel Smith|/afterwards;; visited Holywell-street, and formally intimated that he would report in due course to the Local Government Board.

LICENSING STATISTICS.
LICENSING STATISTICS. To tht Editor of tk 11 Iiixg#hirs Oiuntr" Sir,-In view of the social importance of the question of the operation at d administration of the licencing laws which is exnau tivaly d«alt with in the Parliamentary Bine Book just published I irust tbat you will find space for a few observations thereon. It is not unnatural that practically all the information and fixares therein centre round the Licensing Ast, 1904, and it is with that Act that I propose to deal. It is the ooimou of many that the moat bitter ooporsatsut this aot are divided ioto two ol,,Bsos, Tit. 1. Those who are opposed to it for politioal purposes beoause it was the production of a Conservative Government; and 2. Those who in their extreme enthusiasm for the eauss of temperance apparently bOld the view that plundering the brewer will makt the people mOre loblr and compensating the brewer will have the ETFE TT of making the people more drunk. Although the former class predominates it is to the LATTER that this tetter it more partiuula ly addressed. It is, of ooufse, A fact that upon one point the GENTLEMEN wLo eo: ttttate this class are in C mplcte a-oord with the view held by the late Government, that liennoes, having in the past been giant.4 with, a PR ^IGAL band, sbosld be reduo- d. On RX-*«'INIO« the statistics alluded to I aad th-t THRK ART 4,020 less on ItOra"es in ENGLAND and Wales ttan there were 10 yetro ago. It wll Hurprise many, however, TO leal D t[>a' 45 per cent, ot t I< total deoretse for 10 years wM effected in one year (1906) under Ule new aot. Allowing for the INCREASE of population during this period we find that in 1898 there was one on lioence for every 300 -p«9None, in 1903 thdre was on« "ou" licence for every 343 persons, I appeal for the earnest attention to these foots of all who sincerely desire temperanoe RRFJRM. Up to the pasting of the unjustly abused aot of 1904 there was a steely and contiuu<d deorwe in the number tit 61 on linsnces. Tbis decreas* waa snbjeat to no eompensati^N, and involved Mary hlardlfJipIIJ and acts of injustice. The aot of 1904 not only continues this dtercage, bat enormonsly aooelarates it, codtribatiag ku one year nearly balf of the total redooti >n of teu jears- Ithasaiso the additional guat ADVANTAGE of eomp nsatiug those whom it injures from a tund to which nobody contributes exoept the "trade" I have intimated above that temperance reformers desire recnotion of lioenees.

A hotel man in New Hampshire was sur- prised to see one of his women guests come down stairs several nights running, fill her pitcher from the water cooler in the hall, and return quietly to her room again. Accord- ingly, on the fourth or fifth night, he approached her politely, took the pitcher from her hands, and filled it himself. "If you would ring, madarn," he said, "this would be always done for you. There is no occasion for you ever to come do\rn yourself for water." And he carried her pitcher up to her room for her, and pointed to the bell beside her bed. "That is the bell," he said. The lady started in surprise. "That the bell," she exclaimed. "Why, the bellboy told me tbat was the fire alarm, and I wasn't to touch H on any account except in case of fire," Mr. Tidewater: "So you knew Jingle. who mored to Chicago some years ago. Pretty eccentric, isn't he?" Mr. Lakeside (of Chicago): "WelL I dun no. He pays hisbillfI promptly but, then, he hasn't been there long enough to have much credit, you know'" First Footpad: "Where je been?" Second Footed: "Down in Kentucky, 'Moei starved." "Ye did?" "Yes, Fust I com- menced on drunken men. but I found they hadn't. any money, because they'd spent it all: then I began goin' for sober men. but found they hadn't any money, or they wouldn't 'a' been sober, Kentucky is no Misce fer hard-workin' gents like us."
