The district surveyor estimated the cost of repairing the road at JE148 3s, exclusive of the cost of carting upwards of 500 loads of mater- ials, which was suggested should be undertaken by the parishioners. Mr Evan Jones, Rhiw, chairman of the Parish Council, presided. There was a very good attendance, and a very lively dis- cussion took place. Mr Robert Williams, Frith- lon, proposed, and he was seconded by Mr Robert Jones, Esgorebriii, "that we, as ratepayers, pro- test against the District Council putting the cart- age on the ratepayers of the parish, and, fur- ther, ask this authority to put in the full estimate of the work to be undertaken by the Union." Mr Rowland Hughes, Esgorheulog, proposed an amendment, which was seconded by Mr J. Wynne, Llindir, but this was subsequently negatived on the ground that it did not differ from the original proposal. Mr Evan Roberts, Frongoch, then pro- posed that the road be left in its present condi- tion. This was seconded by Mr John Wynne. On a division 27 voted for the amendment and 27 for the original proposal, the chairman giving his casting vote in favour of Mr Robert Williams' proposal.

A NOTEWORTHY PROJECT AT COLWYN BAY, BATHS, SKATING RINK, AND BILLIARD HALL. .•EXTENSIVE SCHEME TO BE PUSHED FORWARD AT ONCE. Plans relating to a noteworthy undertaking have been submitted for the approval of the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council this week. Tho scheme, in which three Manchester firms are interested, comprises the provision of a I largo swimming bath and other baths, a fine skating rink, a billiard hall, shops, restaurants, I and a bicycle department, all practically under ono roof. The premises will cover an area of 216 feet by 167 feet, the site chosen being situ- ated in Greenfield-road, a few yards oil Aber- gele-road, which is, of course, the main thorough-' fare. They will, therefore, be within easy reach of the electric cars when the line is extended to j Old Colwyn, and occupy a position practically midway between Old Colwyn at the one end of the town, and Rhos-on-Sea at the other end. A splendid view of the sea will be obtained from the building, which will be within three minutes' walk of the railway station and the sea shore. The accompanying illustration gives the front elevation of the building, photographed from the plan presented to the Council. From this it will be seen that there are four main entrances- one to the baths on the left of the picture, the next to the skating rink, the third to the shops, and the fourth (to the right of the sketch) to the billiard hall. The skating rink will afford actual skating space of 181 feet by 71 feet, and it will be one of the largest in the Principality. The floor will be of maple, and it will be lighted from above. It is proposed to so arrange this spacious hall that it may be easily converted for the pur- poses of public meetings, concerts, eisteddfodau, etc., and it is estimated that seating accommoda- tion will thus be provided for at least 5000 peo- ple. The hall will extend along the whole length of the structure illustrated, while at the rear of it a swimming bath, 110 feet long by 30 feet wide, with shower,"slipper and vapoiir baths, a laundry, and other office^ will be provided. It is intend- ed to separate the bathroom and the large pa- vilion by means of a moveable partition, so that the swimming bathroom may be used to supple- ment the space in the pavilion-the swimming bath being of course covered up. By so doing it is estimated that ample seating accommoda- tion will be provided for an audience of 8000. The front part of the building will be set apart for shops, restaurants, and offices. The billiard hall will be fitted upon the second floor, and the room will be arranged for no less than eighteen full-size tables. There will also be tea rooms, lounges, dressing, and other rooms, and the whole premises will be equipped in a first- class manner. Messrs Charles Clegg and Sons, of Spring Gardens, Manchester, are the architects. The Council are specially urged by the pro- moters to facilitate matters, so that building operations may be commenced early in the New Year. Yesterday (Wednesday), Mr Charles Clegg (Messrs Clegg and Sons) attended before one of tho Council's committees, and explained in de- tail the wholp soViPme. It is understood that with the exception of a few minor features-which Mr Clegg provision- ally undertook to amend—the plans met with the full approval of the oommittee.

OLD COLWYN. PREACHING MEETINGS. The annual preaching meetings were held at the Welsh Bap- tist Chapel on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The special preachers were Dr. 0. Waldo James, of Porth, and the Rev. J. J. Evans, of Rhvdwilvm. THE CHURCHES AND CHAPELS. On Christmas morning, Divine services were con- ducted at all the Churches and chapels in the village. At St. John's, the choir sang "Glad tidings of great joy," whilst at St. Catherine's, in the evening, the Welsh choir sang the &n- thems "Newyddion da" and "Baban yn Bethle- hem."

PENMAENMAWR. R. G. OWEN, F.S.M.C., Certified Optician, Llanrwst. At Compton House, Conway, first Fndav in the month-Advt. JUNIOR FOOTBALL.—During the Christ- mas holidays, the Bine Cross were beaten at Conwav to the tune of 6—1, bv the Corw^.w^ bions; and the Penr;m:^n^wr I j at Bethesds,^ i^EAR!—fr, usfiei'ed in according to the ancient custom, and several watchnight concerts have been ar- ranged. THE SNOWSTORM.—The roads have suffer- ed severely from the recent fall of snow, and some portions of the road to the old village are completely blocked up. The Council have engaged large numbers of extra hands to clear away the snow. SUCCESS OF THE MALE VOICE CHOIR. -—The marked success which attended the labours of this organisation at RhM on Boxing Day con- firms the fact that Penmaenmawr is not back- ward in producing frnjt-class singing, and the cheery remarks of the adjudicators (Mr Madoc Davies, A.R.C.M., and Mr Peter Edwards, Mus. Bac.) left almost nothing to be desired, except- ing, perihaps, finer production. The choir, through the indefatigable energies of their tal- ented and able conductor (Mr H. Christmas Jones), are not novices in competition, for they had previously run very closely such choirs as Moehv_,n and Southport, and had won many trophies and hundreds of pounds in prize money. On Saturday they had to cope with such organi- sations as Iiangollen, Old Colwyn and Ruthin, and two or three other choirs hailing from Ffynongroew, Comiah's Quay, and Vron. The test piece was "Crossing the Plain" (Maldwyn, Prioe), the choir obtaining 30 marks out of a maximum 85. Miss M. V. McClement, A.L.C.M., the able accompanist, is also to be highly com- plimented on 'her task in accompanying tihe choir so ably. The choir and conductor are to be congratulated, and it is to be hoped that their success wall stimulate them to give still better attention to practices, so that the blue riband of Eisteddfodau mav be won at the National Eisteddfod, to be held at Colwyn Bay. The choir were met on their return home by a large number of people, who heartily cheered the popular conductor as he mad ehis way from tihe station with the handsome trophy he bad won.
