TRINITY M.N.C. CHURCH.
TRINITY M.N.C. CHURCH. The Annual Foreign Mission Sermons were preached in the above church oil ;$i.ni;Iay lalt to largo congregations by the RevW. J. Town- send. D.D. On Monday cveaing the ami utl meeting was held presided over by J. Hepworth, Esq. J.P. of Torquay, and addressed by Rov. T. P. HIllen, of Hirst. Dr. Townsend read the report, by which it appeared that £ 21 3/11 had been raised for the China- Mission during the year. The collections on Sunday aknd Monday amounted to til 1/9.
THE STAFF OF LIFE.
THE STAFF OF LIFE. Testimonial to a Prestatyn Baker. A Prestatyn lady who has for several years resided in the neighbourhood of Vienna, Austria, has lately been visiting her native place, and on returning to the land of her adoption, took with her a quantity of bread from the establishment of Mr. W. J. Williams, The Stores, of this town. A letter has just been received by her father (who we might mention is oar old and highly-respected fellow-townsman Mrllealey, Vine Cottage) stating that all who partook of the bread from Prestatyn pronounced it delicious. ( Such a testimonial from the home of the world-renjwned" Vienna Bread is not to be despised, and only servos to emphasize previous opinions expressed by outsiders on the subject.
THE DYSERTH RAILWAY.
THE DYSERTH RAILWAY. It is gratifying to note that the popularity of the motor train to Meliden and Dysorth still continues, the daily average at present varying from 400 to 500 pasengers. Change here for Dyserth," is the some- what unfamiliar announcement which may now be heard on the arrival of trains at Prestatyn Station.
Are Infants kept out of Flintshire…
Are Infants kept out of Flintshire • V Schools ? The attention of the Flintshire Education Committee is being drawn to the fact that certain children under five years of age are being refused admission to certain of the schools in the county, thereby losing a con- siderable amount of money in grants. At a recent meeting of the Education Com- mittee Dr. Williams, Flint, maintained that this was the case as far as he could judge from C, the reports which had come to hand. The Rev. T. M. Rees, however, doubted whether the amounts which the children earned were as high as they were reported to be.
PENDRE AVENUE. ^
PENDRE AVENUE. Completion of the Work. We understand that the new road through the above estate is now complete, aud the Council have baen asked to take it over. Oil Monday the Councillors inspected the t road, and were satisfied that it is in a proper k. condition to be taken over by the town. The road is complete in every respect, well a metalled, lamp columns erected, and ex- t cellont footpaths made, the whole reflecting I great credit upon the surveyor to the estate 1 (Mr W. Thomas) and the contractors (Messrs t Hughes and Williams). c 0 Mr Brearley, the owner, has spared no ( expense in having a good job made of the < road, and there is no doubt tha,t very shortly this splendid position will become the site I for extensive building operations. The situation is admirable in many respects, and when developed the estate will be the means I of substantially increasing the rateable value of the town. The road will greatly assist in opening out ] one of the pleasantest portions of Prestatyn which has hitherto been forbidden to pedestrians.
IMPROVEMENTS.1
IMPROVEMENTS. A kerbed footpath has just been constructed in front of Mr Littler's property at the corner of Maes-y-groes, thus improving the appearence of High Street at this point. From a p.j.Iestrnui's point ut view, however, its present utility is doubtful, because of the projection of the adjoining property into the roadway. J
RHYL RESERVOIR WORKS.
RHYL RESERVOIR WORKS. More Money Wanted. At a meeting of the Rhyl Council last Mon- day the engineer reported that the expendi- p ture up to 81st August was £ 24,948, and that in his opinion the cost exceeds the amount recently sanctioned by the Local Government Board by from t700 to JMOO. The Town Clerk has been instructed to in- form the Local Government Board that the JS7000 last sanctioned had been expended. and that a further sum would be required to complete the works. A member pointed out the cost of the plant had been about B2,000, and lie understood it would have been worth about £1,500 to sell again, but they were now informed it would only bring about £ 500. The new loan could only be borrowed by their, repaying it back in 88 years in place of 68. The Engineer pointed out that it was impossible to calculate how much such kn undertaking would cost, as they depended on the nature of tho ground struck. If the rock had risen as they expected, they would have saved many hundreds of pounds, but it dipped from 80 to 125 feet. The latter paragraph will probably afford some consolation to Prestatyn ratepayers, as it shews they are not alone in their recent experience of varying nature of the ground where their reservoir was constructed.

INSANITY.IN NORTH WALES.
INSANITY.IN NORTH WALES. The Annual Report. At the Flintshire County Council meeting on Wednesday, Dr. Humphrey Williams, reviewing the annual report of the North Wales Counties Lunatic Asylum, said intem- perai^cq, eithey ^s an exciting or predisposing caufeeVaCc'slinitedfcir 18 per cent, of admissions, compared with 32 per cent, for England and Wales. The report also revealed that several cases were admitted suffering from mental excite- ment attributed to religious fervour, the result of the revival. The majority of these instances, however, had distinct hereditary predisposition to insanity, and recovered quickly. Several had also had previous attacks and been under treatment.

Our Local Parliament
Our Local Parliament BY A RATEPAYER. At the Budget meeting of the Council in April the need of keeping within the es- timates—which were presented on a reduced scale-was strongly enforced, and apparently is being adopted as the policy for the year. A few improvements have been made, such as a new footpath near Ivy House, extension of the drain in Victoria Road, new ventilators put up, etc. But these have been accom- plished by the ordinary staff, and no con- tracts have been given out. Fortunately, no case of necessity has occurred to occasion any extraordinary or unexpected outlay. It is a case of going slowly and acting cautiously until the cost of the Water Act has all been paid off. One circumstance has arisen which may help the finances this year to some extent, namely, the decision of the auditor that the water rent should be paid in advance, and not after the half year has expired. This is his interpretation of the clause in the Act which refers to the collection of the charges. It may be felt to be a hardship in this the first year of the change, but afterwards the housejiolderwillfeel relieved to find that if he gives up his house there will be no call upon him for the water he has used. That the new mode of collection will increase the revenue from the Water Department is quite clear, for in some cases people leave; the town without discharging their liabilities in this respect, and it is not always possible to locate them afterwards, or to get the claim paid. It may be said without fear of contradiction that the toads on the south side of the railway have never been in such a good condition as they are now, but it may be said with equal truth that the roads on the aorth or sea side of the railway have never been in a worse state than at the present time, and yet we hear very little of the matter. This seems rather strange, as at election times it is always a strong point with electors in Towyn that they do not get fair play, and that all the money for road repairing is expended in other parts of the town They have successfully put forward this plea, and have returned their men to the Council Chamber. At the present one third of the Councillors live on, and are interested in property on the north siue of the railway. If they are satisfied, well and good
COUNTY COUNCIL.
COUNTY COUNCIL. Levying the Rates. At a meeting of the Flintshire County n Council on Wednesday, there was an animated discussion regarding the rates of the county, 11 y one member pointing out that the expenditure was going up -'by leaps and bounds." It was contended that the comity was in a favourable position as compared with other places, as the county rate was lower now than it was last year. Big loans were responsible for their heavy rates, and over some of those, the Denbigh Asylum loan forliiistaiice, they had no control. The conditions of the roads in Flintshire, it was held, was such as to uttract tourists and cyclists from all parts. The Finance Committee recommended the levying of a rate for the ensuing half-year of 5d in the pound for general county purposes, Id in the pound for higher education, and 4d in the pound for elementary education. The recommendation was confirmed.

THE completion of the new road to the hillside called Pendre Avenue, reminds us that the Council will require to exereise great watchfulness, when considering plans of new streets, to see that roads should be so laid out as to make it possible for other roads to join, and thus to a certain extent do away with the inconvenience of roads leading nowhere. This seems to be a common error in Prestatyn, and the sooner these cul-de- sacs are done away with the better it will be for the town. It is regrettable that when roads are being made little thought is given as to where they will lead. They come to an abrupt end. and so there is but one way to both come and go to some districts. Linden Walk is a case in point. If this were continued through Pendre Avenue, the public would have choice of more than one approach to residences in the walk. Victoria. Avenue, Maesygroes, and several of the new streets which are now being O formed have the same defect. Each land- owner builds to suit himself, without regard to the general arrangement of the town. What we want is a series of main streets arranged now on paper, and when the time comes for the practical work of laying out any particular locality, to insist upon steps being taken to secure the proper position of these streets.
