I have, with the assistance of a frieud, gmne through his accounts, and find there is a deficiency, but the actual amount 1 c&n??ot exactly Gay, as I do not know what amounts are due to 'him for s Jary amd other u?Atom. Kindly Itrt me ?n< -r who .?re his guwwtors. I eand here- with two cheques and a credit by refund, amount- mg to L14 17s 66, which please have placed to has credit.

A committee was ap- pointed to consult with the clerk on the matter. Mr Thomas Evans remarked that, although he had fcad no hand in electing Mr Hughes as their sur- veyor and collector, he thought tfoe matter ought not to be passed over without a word. He did not know what in the world they were to do. Whom could thev truH This officer, from a neiglibouring n 1;1." rhio nrndecessor. camie to them with ex- oellcnt. testimonials. He had testimonials from gentlemen they as a. Oounoit luwew weil, and after all the trouble and care ttrtt the Council had taken h -had made a fool of them; had made them the laughing-stock of the town. He really felt it very deeply. He did not know how in the world they reto go About the bIL44wsv in future. It was impossible to p: t tn1 in testimoMaJs.—The Clerk reported that ;('u:bø=t on the question ofth? pinMd which obetru the view of Te c new County School from the mum road, and the re- moval of which is desirod, met, on December 14th, there being also present representatives of the County School Governors and Mr Charles Jones, tee proprietor of the land adjoining. A unanimous opinion was put on record that in the interests of tho County School it was desirable that the pinfold tibould be removed, and- that Council should be ftsked to obtain acrommoda-tioo elsewhere for the carts., etc.. now kept hhera Mr Orabbe explained that the County School Governors had no funds out of which thev could assist to provide anotte- build- ing for the town's purposes, and they threw them- selves upon the mercy of fcte Urban Council, Whom they asked to cany out the improvement in the intwests- of the which is m imporbant benefit to the district. Mr Oharlea Jones promised to build on his land if the ugly pinfold were removed, and 1II-:e increased rateable value would compensate the Council for the expense. The further consideration of the question w.us adjourned—It was explained that the Public Works Loan Commissioners had agrved to lend for 30 years to the Council at three pur cent. per anaum the money required to form and tile footpaths in the town., W. accordance with the authority ,t., btvrrow reoently granted. Mr Evans said the terms were very favourable, considering the present coalition of tie money market. The offer was accepUd.— Alluding to the Bill with which the Council is now proceeding to Parliament for power to compulnurily acquire land for widening the road froni Abergele to the station at Pensarn, Mr Oabbe. the ckrk, said he had received notice of three disswrtier.ts-^Hlas two lairge landowners who declined to sell amd one tenant.
