IWRWG FELIN DDU. THE STORY OF I A HAUNTED HOUSE. I [BY JOHN HUMPHKEYS, BAROOIL) I Iwrwg FelinDdu atill stands, gloomy, isolated, and uninhabited, within ten miles of the Cathedral Oity of Bangor; damp, dark, dilapidated. Even in brightest sunshine and daylight the old house oxudes, so to speak, a depressing, horrific atmo- sphere, as it within its walls had sometime been enaoted one of those terrible tragedies which appal and outrage all human faculties and sentiments. And such in truth is the case, though no guilt or sin attaches to the mournful story. The mansiol of the iamily on whose estate Iwrwg Felirl Dda stands is, within a milo, in the same home park, and one at least of the male members of that family has heard the ghastly and inexplicable laughter that every Christmas Eve resounds through the old building il6 horrible peals- The story is not only well-known to the members of the family by hear- say, but is aotually, in its main leal urea, written oat in imperishable ink on enduring parobment, which forms .part of the family archives. Beyond what I have already said I may give no clearer indication of the locality of the building in connec- tion with which the atory I am about to relate in fuller detail is recorded. 4 Iwrwg Belin Ddu was the gatehouse of what for the pappose of the present story may be desig- nated the JSlizabetbanJmansion of Piss lwrwg, the residence of the old Welsh family of Catlyon,and was tenanted -at the period (not very long ago) when the incidents of this story occurred by a sailor named Bafydd Jones. Nanoy Jones, Dafydd's wile, had ainoe the birth of her daughter Nanoe, been a weakly ailing woman, who, nevertheless, was brimful of the bright, cheerful, loving. and self- saoriffting spirit which, before ber marriage, had won the affection and love, not only of herhnabtnd, bolt of all with whom ahe oama in.contact, and to the utmost of her redaoed strength worked and slaved to keep her little home clean and bright and cosy for her sailor boy, as she oalle4 Dafydd, when he came home from sea. Her ailment would frequently leave her prostrated when alone in the bouse far from aid or oompanionsbip, but neverthe. less should any cbanoe passer by opfnend.oaD.Nauoy would struggle bravely to hide her pain and sick- now, and minister with oheerfulcess to the wants of her visitor. But her brave spirit was sorely tried in the long winter days aod nights when EUiydd WM far away and she sat alone by toe fire, or busUel through the house with eaforoed cheerful. ness, siogmg to little Nanoe with a heavy beart. Oh gentle, brave, aud holy soul that-bad no wish or desire save to please and help and fcafriand all in need, and to make her husband happy. 11 Nan, as the endearing diminutive for Naooe ran, was a healthy vigorous little girl, born on Christmas Eve, and jjust two years old on the day I onwbicbour story openll, and etwoo-closes in gloom, in sadness, aud in terrible agony. Little Nan, dear little Nan 1 Was there ever aaoh a sweet little morsel of humanity as Man ? Little Nan was two years old, and could say mama, dada, and me-me quite plainly. She called Dafydd dada, sad his wile mama me-me, of course, meant herself, and indicated all kinds of meade-impera- tive, persuasive, supplicative, and denominative. Light hair, blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and fat ohubby little legs, and the most minute hands and flogera imaginable delioate, roay finger nails, a perpetual mystery to Nan herself, and a charming delight to her lather and mother. They taught her to olasp her hands together while they repeated a verse of Gentle Jeeos, meek and mild," and she would remain so till the verae was finished, and then she would laugh brightly, while they eioiaimed approv- ingly, Good girl I" Little Nan oould walk, in a toddling fashion, round the kitchen. She oonld just reach the edge of the table, and she grabbed at everything placed thereon, palling oups, saucers, milkjugs, eto., down with hideous olatter and ruin on to the floor, and then sayinv, reprovingly, 1, All 1" If Nan saw a dog or a cat in the garden through the window, she would shake her little hand solemnly and so Id the animal, and if it weut away she considered she bad rendered a. service to humanity at large, and went about her little businesses with great satisfaction. Nan imitated everything bar mother did in the way of cleaning. She saw some tobacco ash from her father's pipe on the fire stool one doy aad straightway toddled to a oupboard,got the blaoklead brnsb, and brushed it off, at the Fame time exclsias- ing, denuooiatingly, Ab I Nan would put her arms far round your neck as .be oould, and kiss yo* lovingly, and say ma-ma, or da-da, acoordinlltG yoar sex. She was the life of the house and its sunshine. From morning to night she was flitting about, laiighing. oryiuti. tslline, sobbing, climbing the ohairs, pulling crockery off tbe table, exploring all onpboards, hugely mystified by the great sol- emnly-ticking eight-day olook io the corner, at which she occaximaUy shook a monitory finger. and Mid, Hush I Sbs bad out most of bar teeth, and got well through that trouble. Bbe had had a touoh of the oroup, and her ooughing tore her father and notber's bearts as she struggled with the phlegm which caused a deadly rattle in her little chest, aad now and again threatened, to their horror, to choke her. But she always smiled cheerily in their faoes the moment the spasm was over, and cried ma-ma, da-da. Nan was inquisitive. She would prove all things for herself, and was eternally bent on satis- fying herself of tbe truth of her parenti' exolamstions hot, hot when she approached the fire,by touching the bare with bar mite of a forefinger. Of coarse, it bnrned, whereupon Nan would hnrry away, not orying, but puzzled. Sometimes she held up her little digit and blew on it to oool it. her rosy little lips pouting out oharmingly. They taught Nan to blow out a match or the candle, and one night, Nancy, her,mother, showed her the moon, shining brightly in the sky. Nan tried to blow it ont, and finding it still remained shining, she soolded it v,' o r ia0y? crying, Ah, ah! Ab I t ittle Nan i8 dying, and Dafydd is away on the sea; homeward bound, and due at Iwrwl; Feliu Odu on Cbrietmss Eve, Nan's second birthday. His last letter from borne-from Nanoy —was full of Nan, ber good health and merry vigorous life and oharming prattle. He bad been away six months, and ever his heart yearned for his little wife and his little girl. He would be home that night please God, and olasp them both to his heart again. But almost as soon as the letter was posted to bim at MOD$8 Video Nan aiokeded, and =,. Consumption had seized her merry innocent liYt.tle life and relentlessly undermined her little stock ot vitality. A neighbour, a mile and a half a may, who knew of Nanoe's trouble came in, in the afternoon, and by way of raising a smilo on the wan little face of the dying child, entered the room singing. Nan looked quickly up as she lay in her broken hearted mother's arms, raised the forefinger of ber right hand warniniily, with her red rosy lips pont'd archly, and said, Ho-h I whereupon OwenOwen faltered turned from the room and sobbed Poor little Nan! She must die I Dieand paauway in the morning of her happy young life. The bosy little feet, the smiling bine eyes, the chubby little hands, and bright IT'igbter must all oease, and her place become vacant. Her dolls lie neglected around her: she heeds not the little go-cart with the yellow boree, her dad's last proeentonce the source of endless delight. Her feeble strength "fOWII feebler, the roses wither on her obet-ks, aod die on ber lipa. The dear little voice grows weaker and w.akOir. Ma.ma, da. me me," she says, and with a deep sigh, the tortured little body turns over, and with a last movement, the little arms are lifted towards her mother's streaming face in a vain attempt to olup her neck once more,and little Nan di. Oh ) terrible pain Ob 1 ghastly, slckenine, and hopeless void Where is the presence tint hourly filled the bouse with sunshine and music, and their lives with endless delight f Her playthings turn up occasionally in odd oorners unexpectedly, and the fountains of ber mothers tears are broken np, and the agony Is renewed that tore ber heart when her last little wail of "me-me," fell on her ears. x Here is ber little shoe with a tiny blank stocking in it. The tee is worn away with her ceaseless orawling about the stone floor of the kitchen. There liee her little hood, from underctsth which her merry little Uoe peeped witb heavenly smiles whenever they took ter ovis, Dear, dear little Naa 1 Nanoy sat with Nan In bar arms, oold and silent. Down below, the great eight-day olook ticked steadfastly and solemnly. Outside, tbs falling hot, daahed against the windows, and the rising wind moaned among the tree top*. Her house was left unto her desolate." Oven had gone home (after ,olumey, good.heMted. but vain attempts to comfort the poor mother), to Mnd his wife to soothe her and belp her, All" was aitMt. and Nance Mt .Mtt where she bad been siving *0* tMp!e of hours, motkmlesa and "tH/. her dead baby in her arms. OoctMontUy an unoonscious agooieiag sob broke the silenoe, and seemed to her to come from someoneelse, for whom she felt a vsgUA sympathy. The joy of her own life bad vanisbeei utterly, and existence, long ren- dered endurable only by the little life sprung from hers that had just ended, was an icy, cheerless blank which even ber gentle, loving, warm, and oonrageoua heart could no longer faoe. Then, like a driving gloom across an already gloomy day, came the thought of her husband's agony wheD. shortly, be should reaob the house and find his jewl ravished. At once her love awakened, and she rose in dumb pain, vaguely intending to meet him and break the trouble gently to bim ere the permitted him to look on the dear pale faoe of- little Nan, rigid in death. Witb a heart-breaking moan she raised little Nan to bRr tearless face and kissed again, wildly, the cold and silent lips that evermore would be silent, heedless and irrespon. sive to her warmest oareeses. She paused a moment ere the left the room, her faoe aged a a withered beyond conception. Then she moved towards the head of the stairs down which ahe bad often joyonsly carried her then living but now lifeless burden with all a mother s strange and mighty joys. A sadden vertigo seized her as sbe reached the stair head. She groped blindly with one hand for the banister, and aboppe(I uncertainly forward, missed her foot. ing,and fell headlong down the steep flight of stairs. She made 80 effort to saTe herstlf, but clasped little Nan tighter than ever in her arms as she crashed dowdwards. No cry came from her lips either while falling or after the dashed heavily on the stone floor at the entrance. She lay there, the dead mothur with a dead babe in her arms, with b-, nk hrnkn. The brave, kind, but weary hoarlt was at Met for ever. Half-an-bour later Owen returned with his wife, and found the door of Iwrwll FelinDdu wide open. The hall lamp, which Nanoe had lit fonr hours before to light and welcome her husband home on Christmas Eve and baby's birthday, fliekered fit- fully, castinl, a mfld radiance that faintly illumined the stalwart figure of a man, olad il) reefer and set- boots, standing stock-still, with arms spread oat in affright before him, and staring intently at a dark mass at his feet. In one of his hands was a pipe, in which the tobacco was still burning. Out of the dark msaii two white gleams showed faintly in the (lloom-tbe wan facea of Hancy and littl. Nan, both turned skywards. On, and round about, the still, recumbent mass formed by Nancy and Nan lay a heap of dolls, go- carts, packages of sweets, and picture books. That was Dely,ld Jones's weloome home on Christmas Eve, Wan's seoond birthday. Owen and his wife, horrified, stood otim, and watched bim. The ticking of the eight-day clock, audible in the strange silence that seemed to obtain in spite of the pattering bail and moaning wind, fell on tbelr eaR with a weird persistency. How long they stood grouped thug neither Owen Mr his wife could afterwards tell, but at last Mrs Owen stepped forward and touched the sailor quietly on tbe shoulder.

LLANSUMO OCCASIONAL NOTES. I TUX COWPLIMIgNTB OF TH1 SBASON." ? We wish tbem to everybody in general, ana Llandudnoites in particular. The season of good- will is a time to drop all differences and give full play to tbe sentiment, "A merry Christmas and happy New Yetc." Nowhere is this Rood feeling oarried out more than in tbe Queen of the West.^ Sooial gatherings inbound, and the poor are not for- gotten. A wait mp and down Moslyn-street is a; very effectual object lesson in demonstrating that the inner man does not tuke a back seat." Poulterers, meat purveyors, grooers and bakers, oonfectioners and wine merohants make a grand display. Forests of the feathered tribe, huge sides of beef, and a little army of Welsh mutton suggest the remark, "Where does it all go to?" But it goes, and we btive no doubt many kind heart6 help to disperse a goodly portion of it amongst their less fortunate neighbours. To everybody we wish The compliments of the Beason and many of them." IS IMPORTANT OMISSION BY THII BAILWIY COMPANY. I A fortnight ago we had great satisfaction in recording that the London and North-Western Rsil- way Company had, in response to a deputation from the Town Improvement) Association, agreed to issue oheap wtek-end tickets from large inland towns to Llandudno during the winter months. So far so good; but it turns out that Birmingham has not been inoluded in the list of towns from whioh tickets will be Issued. Having in view the fact that a large proportion of our visitors come from that populous midland town, this omission on the put of tbeoompany is a serious one, and must have been an inadvertence. Either Llandudno or Bir. mingham should get the matter rectified. We are sure that Brnm wonld like to come here for a blow on a fine week-end. THE FBOFOSBD CHARTER IdETTBB HtQM AS I IMINKNT AUTHORITY. After the festive season prcbsbly the Commis- sionrs will further consider the advisability Ili adopting the good advice given by the ex-Lord Mayor of London on the incorporation of Lian- dndno. In the meantime we publish a letter the Clerk to tbe Commissioner.') has received on the subjpot from Mr Samuel Gco, Johnson, town clerk of Nottingham, a gentleman who has edited a standard work on Munioipal Corporator s Town Clerk's Offioe, Nottingham, November 23rd, 1892. Dear Sir,—It is difficult to advioe you on the subject of your letter of the 21st without knowing all tbe circumstances of the oase. I must speak in general terms. In the first plaoe tbe oonstitnenoy under Improve- ment Commissioners usually differs from that electing a Town Council. The Town Council has a broader and more popular basis. 8ecoudly.—Tbe members of the Town Council bave no other quslifioation than that of being on the bargt si roll, whilst there 'Is often "a pecuniary qualification for a Commissioner. Thirdly—Tbe powers of Commissioners are usually more limited than those of conncils. Fourthly.—Tbe possession of a charter and of a town oouncil adds importance to any fJace, and gives the public greater oonfidenoe in all matters pertaining to sanitation. Fiftbly.-The cost of maintaining a Town Council need not be more than that of maintaining a body of Commissioners but (as it often hapoens)tbat %be community is prepared to move forward in certain ways, works are undertaken by a Town Counoil that are neglected by Commissioners, and then, to a matter of course, the expenditure of the Counoil exceeds tho expenditure of the Commissioners. There is no reason why one body should oost the ratepayers more than the other except for gome such oanse. 8ixthly.-A Town Counoil answers more readily to the wishes of the general body of the inhabitants tbap Commissioners. Seventhly.—I cannot tell if your application would be refused. I should think it might not, considerinlt your peculiar position as a favourite seaside resort, and the grave responsibility this involvag in seeing to the good government of the town. Yoa can find out beforehand what the authorities would think of suoh an application. Lastly.—I know your town very well and have good reason to be glad to get my health restored tbere, and I shonld try if I were an inhabitant, to do what I could to get a charter of incorporation.— Yours faithfully, BAKOSL Gaoxoa JOHNSON.

I All last week DDmerons yontbfnl aspirants to scholentio success eat at St. John's Sohoolroom for their Cambridge lopat exam. There were strong contingents from the Collegiate Sohool, L»n»downe House School, Howell's Orphan Sohool (Denbigh), &e. Mr Wbiston Met nearly a dozen bovs for the junior.

The number of cases was not law. but some of them were lengthy, and legal gentlemen were there in force. Hamour cropped ap occasionally. We do IIOt mean to inrer that it is a joke for yoang maorfto get io oiled that his mind is a perfect blank," as explaiued by Super- intendent Williams Nlth referenoe to a defendant who. last Saturday night.wended his way mysteri- ously into Captain Longshaw's house at Deganwy, and in the small hours of Sunday morning caused a mild sort of excitement by wandering about the house with a lamp. When & genuine burglar goas a-burgling he does not do it like that. It was just a drunken freak which led the victim into a suspicions situation. Honoo the infliction of the usual five bob and costs." The public-boose case from Penrhynside was a eatwe celebre, in which the solicitors for the defence were in a sorry plight, but undoubtedly did well for their clients. Can- stable James told a plain unvarnished tale, and his statement was fully oorrob ri%tea. The witnesses for the defence were not so satisfactory, 01. of thAm aaid the defendant wag as sober as he was "MTMPMHNTMOtMNT." I But this piece of evidence wait given with suoh a gusto and bucolic mannerism th&t the sualpicions of the Bench wre aroused as to whether the witness had been imbibing pretty freely that very morning. What could they do but believe bim and infliot a flue ? Superintendent Williams' trenchant remarks on extensions for time to licensed houses for late dinners have oaused a PAINFUL SENSATION AT THE FOBT-umcB. I The Superintendent's remarks may apply in some instances; but had he known all the clroumstancts he would not probably fcave made the objection in this particular oase. The Post-office staff are a welloonducted body ot officials. Whom we mention that there are six total abstainers amongst them. Superintendent Williams will agree that there will be no need for a seeiug-home committee next Wednesday. A little later on the highway obstruc- tion oases were reaohed intbn programme, and the faots showed that in this affair THE 00MMW8I0NKBS ARE THE BIOOESI PINNXBB. At every oourt this summer the Board Has prose- outed builders and others for causing obstructions to footpaths. not erecting hoardings," &a. Why should the Board get. private parties fined, and break the same law themselves for a whole month with impunity ? The Benoh inflicted a small floe to set the Board an example in Impartiality.

Montague Waldeerave, young- est son of Lord Radstock, entered into the servioes on the sands, and will regret to hear that a great bereavement has just befallen this noble family in the death of Lady Radstook. THE TESTIMONIAL TO 01 GOODS- I Until this last week or two it was kept quite quiet, but now it is a sort of open eeoret that the admirers of Mrs Goode's unostentatious work in all pbitsut-h topl* a movements for many-years bave promoted a subscription list to present her with a testimonial. With scarcely any effort a goodly sum was subscribed, and some very handsome artioles have been purchased. Itisregsettable that the presentation cannot be made in puhlio by Lady Augunta Mostyn for the subscribers. The state of Mrs Goode's health prevents this course being taken. We are are requested by Mrs Mayler.Misa Crawford, Mrs Roberts (Astoria), and Miss Hindle, who have been the moving spirits" in the afftir, to call attention to an advertisement in another column, stating that the presents may be seen at Mrs Mayler's, Mostyn-street, on Fridaf HId Satur- day this week. THE "SKELETON" SCHOOL BOARD At OOBVMff. I Tbiough the vigorous action of the Wicor of Conway (Canon Rees) in securing the school build, ings there witboat a penny from the rates, the Board party was completely nonplussed. But they hoped to act a sohool at Degaowy, >wbioh is within the borough. The Vicar of Llaorhos, however, has frustrated this idea by announcing from the pulpit last Saoday that an infant 4Iobool will be opened at Deganwy to-morrow morning." This aotion baa been taken believing that a sohool worked on voluntary principle is in aloordance worked o ?, b?,.ot the people, aud being fuliv oon- viDoed also of tbe importance of definite re?ic? teaohing 8aob 8. is ooaranteed 4a all National Schools, it is simerei'v?opezl that not only Church- people bat all rA8!deo I and inhabitants of <ht neighbourhood will look upon the support of the schools as a duty."

The chief attraction on tbe programme was nator- ally the appearance of the talented "CJlaxton family whose items were a real musical treat. Miss Elsie May Edge gave a magnificent rendering dtThe Holy City," and in response to a persistent enoore sang the "Low back oar" in-a captivating manner, Miss 0. V.

The parte as detailed above were f all well sustained, and consequently the result was satisfactory in everr respeot. The make-up of Mr S. Glsss as the "father-ID-law" was excellent, and he acted the eccentrio old gentleman with a fine discrimaintion of the hnmour of the situation. Miss Nellie Edge as the mother-in-law was likewise a suocess. Of course Abe took her obstinate daughter's part intho "tiff," and championed the supremacy of the ladies generslly. Mr J. Cornwall and Miss Mary Crockalt were a typioil young newly-married couple. We mostl specially compliment the bride upon her olever acting when she lapsed into tears and her sweet smile and amiability when the new abawl" made its appearance. Any amount of fan was Introduced by Hr Vincent Walker as James and Miss Elsie May Edge as "Lucy," the two domestics. Miss Edge had all the courape of her opinions character- istic of an upper servant. Notwithstanding the importunities of James" she refused to say Thank goodness the table is spread," and her obstinacy only collapsed at the conclusion of the farce with a prospect of early marital felicity. The farce waa well played throughout, and tbe suocess was greatly prometed by the excellent way in which the scenic arrangements were oarried out by Mr S. Leaoh. The furniture was kindly lent by Messrs Rhydwen Jones and Davies, of Rbyl and Llan. dudno. The profits amounted to £12 lis, which is considered very satisfactory. Mr Waletr Wood ably carried out the dnties of bon. seo. The stewarda were Messrs R. Pedler, J. Svmmonds, G. A. Ham, phreys, W. H. Morgan, H. D. Roberts, and M. W. Jones.

LLANDUDNO IMPROVEMENT GOmSSIONEBS. The monthly meeting was held at the Offloea, Church-walks, on Wednesday afternoon, Mr WJD. Bevan (chairmac) presiding. There were also ttlfr sent:-Megers Elias Jonea, Joseph Hughet.T.W. GrilSLb, John Jones (Cedars), S. Bartley, Thonaaa Owen, William Williams, Hugh Edwards, 0«9 Thomas, John Owen. W. H. Jones, S. Dunpby6 John Smith, W. D. Henderson, Riohard Roberta* John Jonas (Central Buildings), with the aleix (Mr A. Conolly) and ths surveyor (Mr E. P. Ssephea- 6on, C.E.) -The minutes of the last meeting were read and passed. SEVERE REPORT ROil THE AUDITORS. The CMM read tbelocal auditors' (Mown T. J. Marks <md H. Caraher^report M to their audit & the Board's accounts for the year ended 25&b March, 1892. The report was a very lengthy one, and oriticised in detail the mode of keeping the acoonnts. In some places the aooonata were chisr- ftcteriaed as misleading." A recommendation was made to surcharge an item of ElS poad to an outeide engineer for work done to relieve the Board's surveyor of pressure of work. Particular notice was also taken of amounts put iiw W irrecoverable arrears of rates; one of tbam, £ 86^BS from the Railway Company. The CLERK had replied to these crHciacM in communication to the Fin-Dee C-maiittee which was placed on the minutes. He held that the auditors bad exoeeded their powers with regard to thp Jtem ot JE13. The amount of RUdoe from, the Railway Company had been fully oonsidered.and it was ouly decided to be irrecoverable after full investigation, and it was found that the BoMiL could only reoover on the old assessment. The Clerk concluded by submitting tbat the auditoM bad apparently done their work more with a view of oriticising the mode of keeping the accounts, than correctly eheoking the items. This we* a mostunusual coarse for auditora to taka and most unprofessional one. Mr T. W. Oxmra, in moving die adoption of the minutes, said it was the feeling of the Kiaance Committee that the olerk's communication was a most faithful, emphatic, and conclusive answer tó the far-reaching report presented by the two local auditors. T. eeounittee were unanimous in reoom- mending the adoption of the olerk's report. Mr JogV Jows (Central Buildings) seconded, and quite agreed with all tbat Mr Griffith bad aaid. The minutes were pueed. vaoroeiK. so ASPHALT THE STREETS. The Works Committee reoom mended that as aa experiment a& extra sum be spent in asphalting Lloyd-street. A warns disoaesion ensued. Mr T. W- GwtviHi objected to the extra ,expenditam, as it was not inoluded in the esti- anates. Mr iomm (Central Buildings) deprecated makaag a rate that was uot sufficient to meet the expenft- tare, That was aot the proper way to finance the. town (bear, hear). Mr T. W. Gairnm held that the estimates were sufficient, and the Board ought to keep within them. Mr DUNPHY replied that not enough money had been spent oo the roads. He agreed with Mr John Joiaes, and remarked that some of the gentlemen who talked so maoh aboat aspbftlte voted for do small rate. Me T. W. GsrmrH moved an amendmesrt, and U was seconded, that the experiment of asphalting the Btreete be deferred to the commencement of the next financial year. Mr BARTLEY, in a practical speech, supported the reoomavsndation of the committee. The minutes of the committee were carried by 8 votes to 5. Mr J. SIUTH gave notice to move: That ha ilnfl, at the next meeting of the Board, draw attention to the fact that the current estimate ot expenditure is already exoeeded in several instances. ELECTRIC TBAXWAT TO THE LRTTLI OZKZ- Mr J. Siurs gave notice to move: That tba general principle of an eleotrio tramway coBnecCbgj the Little Orrne and Craigydoo with Llaadndno ba hereby approved, and that permission be granted to Mr Eingslaud to construct the said tram. stautially as prcposed, subject to a final ratification by the Board of the detailed plans, and an agree- ment whereby a certain amount of eleotrio lighting shall be done on the Parade in return for the em- cession berebv-granted. THE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL. Mr JOHN OWBN gave notice to move that the chairman be requested to call a meeting of the rate- payers, and those interested in education, to take the required steps to secure to Llandudno the ooanty school for Conway and Lian mlno district liD. the Wellh Ijtermediate E location Act 1889. THE TBAMWAT AGAIN. A letter was read from Mr Kingslaod as to the proposed electrio tramway aDd making a survey. Mr ELIAS JOligli asked if there was any hope to hold oat as to the tramway. He should to surprised it any man in his sense% at that BO&VM woatd be in favonr of granting permission for eleotrio tram alone the shore. They could not allow anything to interfere with the shingle, sadft and roadway. He thought it was a pity to let the promoters go to the expense of a survey, 1:& expecting to be allowed by the Llandudno people to damage the town. He moved tbat the application be not granted. Mr JONES (Cedars) seconded, and remarked tnM there was no comparison between Llandudno and Brighton. Mr JONES (Central Buildings) moved an amend,* meot. He was against a tramway along the shora, bnt there would be no harm in discussingthe prin- ciple of a tramway. It was not fair to Mr Soailfc nor Mr KingBland to decide the matter now. He moved to defer it to the next meeting. Mr Joicss (Cedars) asked if Mr Smith was interested with Mr Kingeland in the scheme. Mr SMITH said he should not have a farthing in It. Mr J. Jones's amendment was aeoended sift oarried by nine vctas to seven. Mr DOSPHY Bat I hope Mr Kiogsland will not think there is much ohanoe of getting the tramway sloiik the beaob. THE VOLONTEEB BNCAMMtESI qUBSrXOH. Mr DuMHY moved: That me reeotntMopM? at the meeting of the Board held on ?TI"M?x October, 1892, requesting tbe Conway Corporation and the neighbouring landowners not to let owir laud* for Volunteer enosn.onrn's b- rescinded." Mr JOHN JONlIe (Central Boadiujs) roae to order, and objected to Mr Dunphy prooaadmg. Be con- MQded that Mr Dnophy asked them to reeciofl what they had never done, especially with regard to Conway Corporation. Wrpay You are AttemPting to bimrke „ the qaeBtifU.
