[tD anii Sown the tfoast. "Tows MAXUKE HKAI\"—What -an I do? The town has a Sanitary Ir>pecuor. It has a Medical Officer. It 11: a Town Survevor. The t ipping p hoiri >ly offensive, but what can I do? lnu Council will not move in far simpler '.lungs than this. The ratepayers nre quii.e lid ifferent, and until they awake I can do nothing. "VISITOR."—I believe strongly in the avowed object of the Lifeboat Association, but I do not believe one little bit in its system of local management. Any Association that has rules which it openly breaks is a sham. Rules of this sort are only in- tended for production at inquests. "OSE WHO HAS BEEX PROSECUTED."—I do not understand the system of preference. The law should be equally administered. The Police excuse themselves on the ground that the Town Council should take action. The cases are notorious. Last Sunday the town of Aberystwyth looked like a deserted Whiiechapel fair. The real culprits in this case also are the apathetic ratepayers. "C C."—Ah, yes, if the police could only see "across the street, but they fail even at that short distance. TIItil CEMETERY SHED. Think not this shed will always stand A blot, an eyesore, a disgrace At last grim time's destroying hand Will sweep the shanty from its place. The pity is the den was ever built, It is the fruit of ignorance not guilt. THE POST oFFlCK LAMP. They said, "We'll have a lamp." The thought was good; The crowd outside presume 1 it would be lighted. This was their great mistake, it darkly stood A sort of sepulchre, not even whited WHAT CAN THE FU CURE BR TNG? What can the future bring of happiness Or calm content the past did contain ? The past was once as now the future is— Where hope and love and longing dimly dwelt. To-morrow soon will be as yesterday, And barren lie within the grave of time, With nothing left behind but memory Of joy that was not, but that might have been If something in the world outside ourselves— What we call fate-had been far otherwise, Or we had seized our opportunity That passed, if ere it came, unknown to us. What can the future ever bring to me That at the present moment is not mine ? I am just what I am, and will remain Throughout life's fluctuations without change. I may be well or ill. or hot or cold, May eat or drink of bitter or of sweet, Or meet with love or hate, or good and bad, But I, through all, shall still remain myself— An elemental thing defying change. As long as human life is what it is. SHODDY DEGREES. A retired clergyman near Lancaster has decided to give up the honorary degree of LL.D. conferred upon him many years ago by an American university. The Archbishop of Canterbury has power, I believe, to grant degrees. It is also well known that even Oxford and Cambridge give degrees to royal personages and other people for other reasons than learning. MANOB ACTCRING NEWS A man in London has been sent to gaol for three months for sending false news to a paper. He gave an interesting and circumstantial account of an accident in the East-end of London, which he declared that he had seen, but the accident was a pure invention. I read a large number of novels—this is private—and from time to time I notice news paragraphs embodying strange incidents from the books I read. No doubt, most of these paragraphs are paid for by the newspapers. The newspaper paragraphist is often a very enter- prising person, even when he is of less inventive power than the gentleman who has gone to gaol for three months. A NEWSPAPER FOR WOMEN. It is announced that Messrs Harmsworth are about to start a morning paper devoted entirely to the interests of women. This is a project that has often been before me, and I have taken great interest in it. I notice that whenever anybody tries to provide a newspaper for women, they put a great deal in about clothes and fashions, or about sweethearts and marriage. As far as women are interested in events, they are interested in the same events as men are interested in, but not in exactly the same way. What is wanted is not so much a separate newspaper for women, as writers to show women, and men also, in what ways women are interested in events that are not supposed to be within women's province. If I were one of the Harmsworths, I would give women a newspaper almost the same as I would give to men, but with quite a different bias. Women do not want to read about tea parties and women's receptions and women's aims and fights and struggles and achievements. What they want, or ought to want, is to read how all the world's news affects them, how it is related to them, how it tells for or against them, and in what ways it has significance for them. Parliamentary news, for instance, would be the same for men and women, but the properly qualified writer could show women how the proceedings in Parliament affect women in thousands of ways that are now never noticed. For many years, in writing for this paper, I have tried, not altogether in vain, to show the women of this district that the news published has relations to them which are too frequently and altogether too completely ignored. Women are more than half the population of this country, and they are still treated—it is largely their own fault—as if they were of no national importance except as mothers! Women themselves know veiy little how they are related to the life of the nation out of which news grows, and a newspaper devoted to them would have to be widely different in its editorial spirit from the ordinary news- paper. Take this very subject of providing a news- paper entirely devoted to the interests of women. It would be interesting to know what is in the mind of the projectors of this new paper, and what are supposed to be the interests of women that are not the interests of men. The paragraph I have seen about this new paper says that whilst it will give the more important news of the day, it would contain a great deal of matter of special interest to the female mind. I should like to know what sort of matter would be considered to be of special interest to the female mind? I suppose I shall see more about this new newspaper for women. In the meantime, I hope women in the district will be interested. TO BOYS AND GIRLS. When I was a boy, it seemed to me to be utterly impossible to pass from the condition of life in which I was born to other conditions of which I read, in what to me were fairy tales, or was told by school teachers and other persons. I read of a Scotch shepherd boy who, while he was watching the sheep at nights on mountain sides, learnt astronomy and made a map of the heavens. Then there was another boy who went as errand boy into a merchant's office and became very rich. A third boy-I think he was a blacksmith—taught himself all sorts of languages and became one of the most learned men in Europe. There were lots of them. The poorer they were, the greater hardships they had to bear, the fewer chances they had, the sooner and the more surely they developed into great men. It was just the same with women, but I was not surprised about Boadicea, or Joan of Arc, or Cleopatra, because girls always seemed to me to be so much better than boys that any- thing appeared to be possible for them I tried to learn something, but never seemed to know anything, and I used to get into scrapes of different kinds, some of them rather serious ones, and neither I nor anybody else believed that'I was on the way to the sort of renown that I read of and secretly hankered for. It is more than fifty years ago now. and many a time in those far-off days I was very sorry that I had not been made quite another sort of boy. I consoled myself by thinKing that I had been born after the time of fairies and geniuses, and great events and possibilities, and that there was nothing for me and all the others but poverty and mediocrity-I did not call it mediocrity then—and drudgery. I used to wander about and think how lucky the boys were who lived hundreds and hundreds of years before and had the chance of killing dragons and giants, or of rescuing imprisoned queens and bewitched ladies, or of. winning great battles. Nothing of that sort came to me—nothing, nor did anything of that sort come to the other lads I knew. Nobody of my acquaintance had ever seen a giant or a fairy, or an imprisoned queen, or a bewitched maiden, or had even seen an enchanted castle or a fairy ring I was really very unhappy about the utter ? commonplaceness of life and the hopelessness of ever doing anything equal to the doings of the old knights who went out dressed in armour, with drawn swords in their hands. There were no knights, no armour, no crusades, no battle cries—nothing but going errands, or doing lessons I could not understand, or being blamed for doing things that I could not see any harm in doing. In those days, I never told anybody what I thought about these things. If I had told them they would have laughed at me, so in some sort of way I gave up the present times as hopeless and went on dreaming about the good old days. I cannot remember when I first began to realize that there never had been any good old times that were better than these or when I discovered that the ways to all sorts of good- ness and greatness and service were still open; and that the world was never more beautiful, or grand, or mysterious than it is now and that God was never any nearer, or heaven more accessible, or goodness more easy, or greatness more common in ancient times, however remote, than in these days. This is the truth that I want to impress upon boys and girls who read these words, especially upon rather bad boys and"girls who have some- what lost faith in themselves. They need not despair. There is still time to make a fresh start. The start must be made, of course, just where they are. It cannot be:made anywhere else. If a man were going to travel from Dol- gelley round the world, he must begin at Dolgelley. He cannot begin at London or Edin- burgh because he is not there. He must begin just where he is. This is true of every kind of progress, but boys and girls sometimes I imagine that they need not start just where they are, but can begin ^somewhere else. They cannot. The way to start is quite simple—so simple that many boys and girls do not believe in the start at all. A boy who^skulks when he is not watched, or who is unpunctual or untruthful, is not starting. A girl who sweeps the dust of a room under the hearthrug, or who wipes glasses with a dirty towel, or who copies lessons from other girls, is not starting. The way up is a way of slow progress, and it begins from the very bottom. The first steps —many of them—are tests of honesty, industry, punctuality, truthfulness,"earnestness, upright- ness, courage. Then later come the oppor- tunities for special mental] endowments, but boys and girls can go very far without special endowments. Almost all'the'great work of the world is done and always has been done by men and women not specially endowed. Let the boys and girls who read these words remember the first steps, and fifty years hence they will be glad, and I am sure they will not have failed in the mainlthings. There is a great deal more that I could say. but this is enough to remember at once. A NEWSPAPER CRISIS. The London newspapers had created quite a political crisis based on the Cabinet meeting to be held last Monday. The Cabinet was held. The proceedings appear to have been quite ordinary and nothing has happened. The Duke of Devonshirelhas not resigned nor has Mr Chamberlain recanted. A general election has not been decided upon and the Prime Minister has gone away somewhere to play golf. The political crisis was a purely imaginary crisis, created by the newspapers. The Liberals are all at sixes and sevens, and there is no reason on earth why the Govern- [ment should trouble itself about resigning or about a general election. The war muddle is inconceivably great, but the fpeople do not care. The fiscal muddle never was equalled, but the public are not anxious. The education muddle is likely to do great and irreparable injury to the Church of England and religion, but the churches care more for their own shibboleths than for the religion of their Master. This newspaper crisis has been a very comic thing in its way, but it has serious sides. Unhappily there is nothing that can be done, for the rank and file of the people are absolutely indifferent. I do not believe that an election is imminent. The Liberals have no leader, no policy, no common point of attack. It is quite clear that the Conservatives are weary of their position, but then they cannot leave it with- out discredit. Politics do not come home to the people in these days as they came home to them a hundred years ago. It does not matter to the man in the street whether the Liberals or the Conservatives rule, but if dear food is enacted, and religious injustice is established, and heavy taxation for useless wars is main- tained, then the people will be stimulated to action and far more may go down in the rush than a political party. The Church, the Crown, and the Sta.te, in their present embodi- ment may all go, for the forces let loose may be altogether beyond control. A newspaper crisis is a rather amusing thing—even if it is a sham. The Coast. J
TOWYN
TOWYN OBITUARY.—We regret to have to announce the death of Mr William Williams Jones, which occurred on Wednesday, September 16th, at the advanced age of eighty-five. The deceased gentleman was a native of Llanddanialfob, Angle- sey. He came to Towyn in the year 1845and carried on for many years a successful business as a draper in Red Lion-street. He afterwards trans- ferred his business to Bran House, in Corbett- square, where he conducted one of the leading drapery businesses in the country for upwards of thirty years. When the deceased made his advent to the town, it was very different to what it is now, and no movement calculated to benefit the place ever went on without the hearty support and co-operation of Mr W. W. Jones (alias Gwilym o Fon). He was an out-and-out Liberal in politics and an ardent educationist. It was mainly through his exertions that the British School was built in Towyn in 1861-2. His con- temporaries, Mr C. F. Thruston, Talgarth Hall, and Dr J. Pugh (loan ap Hu Feddyg), who were the leading lights of the district in those days, found in the deceased an energetic and con- sistent supporter of the liberal and educational schemes. He was a man of indomitable courage and unflinching determination and full of enter- prise. It did not much matter how successful his business as draper and grocer proved, his enterprising spirit forestalled all his gains. For a long number of years, he had men searching for slates and mines in all parts of the country, from Dylife down to the shores of Cardigan Bay. At Dolgoch, Melinllynpair, and Nantcynog, he searched persistently for treasures which he never found. He also bought and beautified Nantcynog Farm. and the acres upon acres of thriving trees which beautify the entrance to I the Happy Nalley are lasting monuments of his enterprise and taste. He was for many years a member of the Local Board of Health and was always on the side of progress in sanitary matters. He was also a member of the School Board of Towyn and Pennal for fifteen years, and was chairman of the Board upon more than one occasion. But in spite of all his energy and enterprise, he was, in the declining years of his life, overtaken by adversity, and he carried on a busi- ness on a small scale in Red Lion-street, where he died after a few hours of severe illness, not far from the spot where he started business so very long ago. He was never married. Wonders Will Never Cease.—Some of the chief wonders of Towyn are the ability, dex- terity, and industry of two men, who, in the vigour of youth, were so unfortunate as to lose their sight. But they are brave men and instead of sitting down in a state of dejection to bewail their loss, they courageously faced the situation and almost simultaneously be came respectively the town criers of the then Libera land Conservative parties. Both ar.3 possessed of stentorian voices and much physical strength, and are able to walk, not only unguided through the streets and bye- streets of the town, but considerable distance in the country. To them day is like night and night like day. Space will not permit the enumeration of their manifold accomplish- ments. One, however, should be m'entioned One day last week one of the men was seen walking proudly through the streets with a gun on his shoulder, saying jocularly to passers-by that he hoped to have a good day's sport. People did not really know how to take him and went almost as far as to be- lieve that he was going to add another wonder to tho number already performed. But it was found that the kmd man was only helping on old comrade to move his goods from one house to another. Disappointed Shepherds.—Shearing day is quit an event on a big farm and considerable preparation had been made on such a day at a big farm not hundred miles form tho) town of Towyn, Merioneth. The jolly farmer had himself picked the best round of beef th town could produce and took the precaution I to convey it home himself on the evening be fore the shearing day. When fentering th) farmyard, through which he has to pass to his almost palatial residence, he placed the round of beef on a coping of a wall adjoining the main road, while he wfent to look to th3 1 state of affairs in some of the out-buildings. Having had his atention thus diverted, and being tired with the performance of various duties on his extensive holdings, he forgot the round of beef, went to bed and forgot everything else for a time. The following day when the cook was preparing the forth- coming feast she went to the larder to fetch the meat which the master had undertake! to provide. There was no meat there of the description she expected. Enquiries were immediately made of the Master, through whose mind, likle a flash, the recollection of what he had done with the meat passed. A rush was made for the coping of the wall, but the meat had disappeared and it has never to this day been ascertained. Whether a hungry passer-bv in the shape of a human b'teing, a mischievous fox, or a ravenous dog had take the dainty viand is not certain. In any case, the shearers on this occasion had tc he content with plum puddmg without the roast beef, and the feast was fully ind merrily partaken of. Flooded Marshes.—It is a common saying that history repeats itself. Be that as it may events happen thesfe days similar to those which happened several score years ago. One of them is tho flooding of the marshes to the north and south of the town. The sight of people wading up to their armpits to save their stock and their crops brought back to the minds the scenes of long ago, and forced upon the mind once more, if it were necess- ary. of an additional outlet for the water. It is hard to comprehend why this necessity is not realized by those who have the manage inent of these flat lands. Time and again the occupiers of the land hai)3 expressed their readiness to pay interest on the cost of con- structing the needful work to rid the land of the surplus water instead of allowing it to stagnate and ruin grass and root crops and the fruit of many years' industry. More than this, it cannot be denied that the stag JHwt water endangers ihe health of those who live in the place. DISTRICT COUNCIL, Friday, September 11 Present Messrs John Roberts (chairman), E. L. Rowlands, J. D. Latimer, Enoch Lewis Daniel Edwards, Gwilym Williams, A. Tom lins, W. Jones-Hughes, John Rees, Henr) Evans, R Pugh, R Barnett (clerk), Dr Lewys Lloyd (medical officer) and Mr Edward Wil- liams (inspector.) A Slaughter House. In his report, the Inspector stated that the order repeating the pigs kept at Mr Thomas Jenkins' slaughter house had not been attend- ed to.—On the motion of Mr Jones-Hughes. seconded by Mr E. L. Rowlands, it was agreed that proceeding should be taken if the order was not immediately complied with. Call Offices. The Clerk said he had written to the Post Office authorities in regard to the proposed telephone call office at Bryncrug, but as yet he had only received an acknowledgment. Penhelig. Mr Gwilym Williams called attention to the ornamental poles at Penhelig and said he had understood that the poles were to commence near Tani allt, but they had been erected near- er than that instead The Clerk explained that the Engineer had taken the point from Bath-place to Glandovey-terrace.—The Cle-k was instructed to call the Engineer's attention to the complaint. Railway Engines. The Cambrian Railway Company wrote stat- ing that the Council s complaint in regard to the smoke emanating from the railway en- gines at Aberdovey would be attended to. Inspectc T's Report. The Inspector's report showed that nothing had been done to the drain at Tynyfedwen cottages. The waste water drain at Bodfor terrace had been cleaned out. In conse- quence of the complaints made about Mr L Edwards's slaughter-house at Penhelig, he ha 1 examined the building and found it was drained to a small cesspool outside the build ing, which was not properly ventilated and there was no water supply for flushing and cleaning. A complaint was made of a nuis- ance close to the main road near Morfa Bach, which arose from the carcase of a dead sheep There was nothing to complain of the last camp at Penllyn Marsh. The workshops, dairies, fruit and fish shops were satisfactory.—Mr Latimer's suggestion that the Surveyor should examine the cesspool at Tynyfedwen-cottages before taking any steps was adopted.—In rÐ. ply to Mr Rowlands, thelnspector said he understood that Mr Lewis Edwards's slaughter house was not registered.—Mr Jones-Hughes said the question was whether the slaughter house should be connected with the main drain or not.—Eventually it was decided that the Medical Officer should examine the build ing. Medical Officer's Report. The Medical Officer reported that the health of the district continued satisfactory. Since last meeting another encampment of volun- teers had been held a: Towyn His statemert as to the disposal of sewage with regard to the other brigades was also applied to the last regiment. No cases of infectious diseases ha I been reported. No reply had been received to the communication of the Small-pox Com- mittee beyond a formal acknowledgment.—In reply to Mr Jones-Hughes, the Clerk explain ed the position of the proposed hospital. Th Committee had at first suggested a houso owned by Mr Corbett. and Mr Gillart had stat- ed that the matter wculd be laid before him when he would next visit Towyn, but Mr Cor- bett had not yet been to Towyn. The Medica Officer said he had interviewed Mr Corbett' lepresentative, and was promised a reply, bu had not yet been received.—The Clerk was in structed to communicate again with Mr Coi- bett. Towyn. The Towyn Committe reported that the pur- chase of the Braichyrhiw Farm lease had further discussed. Mr Yates had again met the Committee, and after a further consulta- tion with Mr McConnell on whose behalf he and Mr Roberts appeared, it was resoled to spen J a sum of £3 on the Rhydyronen cottages. A request by Mr Lewis, Vaenol, to straighten gap in the hedge near Penbrynmawr was al- lowed. The Surveyor reported to the ConI mittee that the last prrtion of the groyne haj been swept away completely, but most of the timber was saved. The groyne had been con- structed some years • gc at a considerable ex pense. If another was to be made it would have to be much stronger. At present there seemed to be a tendency in the current of th tides to improve the strength of the outfall piles, but it was difficult to determine how long that would continue. So much had been said of Tymawr brook that it seemed hopeless to have any improvement. It was not only a cause of serious nuisance in the summer but during wet weather it overflowed its bed and caused serious* damage to the road. The question had been ired from time to time and he hoped it would be delayed no longer.— The Chairman said he had understood that a sum of money had already been spent on the brook, but several members disputed it.-The Medical Officer said the Chapel trustees we o not willing to concede the yard in order to widen the road unlesss an alternative concess- ion was made to them. A fortnight ago a child narrowly escaped from drowning in the brook. —-The matter was referred back to committe J with power to act. Aberdovey: The Footpaths. The Surveyor reporting to the Aberdovey Committee stated that some of the surface water drains had become a source of trouble and would have to be opened and inspected. The inhabitants of Penhelig were not satisfied with the black telephone poles erected there, and felt they should be treated with the same respect as the lower part of the town. The Committee had met the Telephone Engineer and decided as to the posts in Bryndovey-road. The Engineer had agreed to keep the posts well back from the roads. As the question of closing some of the best and most frequented foot-paths in the district was creating con- siderable interest, it was intended to call a meeting of the Committee during the month, and in order that the meeting should be as conclusive as possible it would be well to fur- nish the Clerk or the Surveyor with instruc- tion if it was necessary to have evidence from people had who knowledge on the matter.— Mr. Rowlands attributed the state of the sur- face water drain from the Board School to the small size of the traps, which did not ena- ble it to admit all the water. As the school premises had been enlarged, the quantity of waste water had increased.—It was agreed to call the School Board's attention to the mat- ter.—Mr. Latimer said it would be of little use to walk over the footpaths again, and he suggested that the Committee should have all the evidence possible before them, so that the interested and grieved ratepayers should have an opportunity of venting their opinions. —On the suggestion of Mr. Tomlins it was agreed to call a public meeting. Rural Ward. In the report of the Rural Ward Committee, the Surveyor stated that the heavy floods of the past few weeks had damaged several parts of the roads. The large number of rivers in the area had swollen, but it was impossible to guard against damage at every point. The portions which usually suffered most owing to the floods before side channels were made last autumn, had saved best. The culvert on the main road near Penparc had been completed. The Dyffryn Road had become impassable ow- ing to its being lower than the sutrounding fields. No plan had yet been furnished of the new house at Erw-waedd, which had been re- ported at the last meeting. The house would soon be completed. Plans submitted by Mr. Abraham Williams, owner of Pantyfron, Pen- nal, appeared to be in order.—The Clerk read a long letter written in Welsh from Mr. Mor- gan, owner of the Erw-waedd House, explain- ing that at first he had only intended re-build- ing one wall. but he then found another one in want of repairs.—-(laughter)—and similarly in regard to the third and fourth walls. (Re- newed laughter.) He asked to be excused from presenting the plans now, but promised to do so in future.—Mr. Latimer said the owner ought to know that plans were required and he proposed that Mr. Morgan should be called upon forthwith to submit plans. If that was not obeyed, the Council should take the steps directed by the by-laws.—The pro- position was seconded and carried.—Mr. Tom- lin suggested that houses should be inspected after having been completed whether plans had been submited or not. Sometimes houses were not built according to the plans. His suggestion was carried out in other places.— Mr. ROY-, lands pointed out that there was a misunderstanding as to whether plans were re- quired for the reconstruction of a house or not.—Replying to Mr. Tomlins, Mr. Jones- Hughes said that the Surveyor did inspect houses after they were completed.—Mr. Tom- lins iBut he does not report.—Mr. Jones- Hughes He would report if the plans were not complied with. Money Matters. Mr. DJ. Edwards presented the report of the I1 inance Committee, which showed that the Council's position was as follows Balance ove- drawn last month, £373 9s. 5d. received dur- ing the month £1,084 15s. 2d. (of which Mr. P. H. Hughes had collected rates amounting to £1,082 15s. 2d.); leaving a balance at the bank of £711 5s .9d. That day's payments amounted to £423 lis. 3d., which gave a bal- ance in hand of £287 14s. 6d. on the general account. On the Loan Account there was a balance in hand of £35 17s. 9d. for Braichy- rhiw lease purchase, and JB782 lis. 9d. for the Waterworks, which, after deducting payments of £163 6s. 9d., left a balance of £62058. The amount in the Treasurer's hand, after paying cheques was £287 14s. 6d. on the general ac- count, JS35 17s. 9d. on the first loan account, and £620 5s. on the second, a total of £943 17s 3d.—Mr. Jones-Hughes thought Mr. P. H. Hughes should be congratulated on his good work.—Mr. Latimer agreed that Mr. Hughes had done good work, but it was also gratifying, he added, that the "inhabitants had money to pay the rates. — Mr. Jones-Hughes's motion was then agreed to and the report was adopted. Postal Arrangements. Mr. Latimer thought the Council should endeavour to induce the Post Office authorities to put up a pillar box where the old Post Office was.—Mr. D1. Edwards seconded Mr. Latimer and said he had thought of bringing up the question himself.—Mr. Latimer said the Post Office should be asked to allow later posting also. The post was now closed at twenty min- utes to six when the train did not leave for at least twenty minutes after six. It was only through the courtesy of the officials that one could post a letter after time. The authori- ties could certainly make some arrangements, such as allow an extra stamp, and a collection at the Station up to the last moment of the train's departure.—Mr. Rowlands compared the difference between Towyn and Aberdovey, the post being cleared at the latter at ten past six.—Mr. Latimer: And it is only a few minutes on the railway between the two places. —The Clerk was then directed to communicate with the Post Office urging the desirability of having the time extended and other improved arrangements. Education. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Haydn Jones asking the Council, as one of the minor authorities, to appoint three representatives on the district Education Committee. He had only received the letter that morning, and had not been able to give notice of it for consideration. — Mr. Jones-Hughes proposed that Towyn, Aberdovey, and Bryncrug should have a separate representative, and that the appointments be made at that meet- ing.—Mr. Gwilym Williams complained that the proportion of representatives was very small for the Council.—The Clerk explained that the majority was appointed by the County Council.—Mr. Henry Evans seconded Mr. Jones-Hughes proposition.—Mr. Latimer pro- posed as an amendment that the appointments should be referred to the Committees.—Mr. Henry Evans pointed out that that would be too late.—Mr. Latimer asked what would the County Council do with them? Would they lock them out? It was a matter that should be fully considered, as many things would crop up. If the County Council said they were lax or negligent, then they could reply: "You are another." (Laughter.)—Mr. Tomlins said no doubt the County Council ought to have given more notice.—The Chairman They have only just approved of their scheme.— The Council then proceeded to name their re- presentatives, but Mr. Latimer interrupted saying that the question should be delayed. He did not know what the Towyn School Board had done, but things had certainly been very unsatisfactory. The Board had not the nerve to see that the ratepayers' money was well ap- plied, or else something had gone wrong with the machinery as reports from the Intermedi- ate School and the parents showed. Certain schools in the Towyn district had not been ad- ministered to have the best results from the children. It was absolutely an open secret; any- body could tell that. Parents bitterly com- plained that children obtained scholarships and admission to the Intermediate School from all parts of the district except from the Towyn Schools. That had been going on for a long time in the same way. If the Council intended appointing members of old school boards they should consider it very carefully. He had three children in the Board School and knew what he was talking about. It was most un- satisfactory, and there were complaints right and left.—Mr. Rowlands said he ought to know more about Board Schools than Mr. La- timer, having been a member of the Board for twelve years. He was certain that as far as the administration of the schools in the dis- trict was concerned it was approved of and managed in the best possible way. Of course they could not rectify every error, and there were defects in many schools which the mem- bers were endeavouring to rectify.—Mr. Lati- mer said he did not criticise the general ad- ministration. He was speaking more particu- larly of the Towyn School, but it was a ques- tion of .he greatest delicacy. At the Towyn school there wer,3 parties, who by their long lives, ill-health, and incapacity, should be put en the shelves so that the children's education should not suffer.—Captain Enoch Lewis agreed that it was a delicate question and that shoull be fully considered. He would prefer it to be settled in a week.—Mr. Jones- Hughes said there was a danger that the Com- mittee would meet without the Council's re- presentatives.—Mr. Dl. Edwards thought it would be well worth while having a special meeting.—This was agreed to.—Mr Rowlands I wish to record my vote against this. It is convenient for me to come to-day, but not next week.—Several members said they would not be able to attend.-—Mr. Latimer pointed out that the names could be recommended by the committees.—It was then agreed to call special committee meetings. By-laws. The question of adopting by-laws for the re- gulation of tents, vans, and sheds, was re- ferred to the committees. Harbour Lights. Captain Enoch Lewis brought forward a motion that representations should be made to Trinity House to provide better buoying and lighting for the Aberdov\.1 Harbour, which he deschribed as one of the best between Milford and Holyhead. It would be advantageous in the case of the life- boat being called out at night. The fishing trade could not be carried on without lights. At present fishermen were obliged to provide their own lights, which were not so effective. The fish that were brought ashore were very much better than those from Grimsby and other places. The Lancashire and Wes tern Sea Fisheries Board, had recognised that fact and were prepared to do all they coull —Mr E. L. Rowlands said the Lancashire Western Sea Fisheries Board, was anxious to have co-operation to move in the matter, and he suggested that the Council should commu- nicate with them.—Mr. Jones-Hughes said it would be well if the Council appointed some- one to back up their representations.—The Clerk said he would write to the Board's In- spector for information as to which course should be taken.—Mr. Gwilym Williams thought it would be better if the fish trade would not be pushed forward too much.—Cap- tain Lewis agreed and said they would pro- bably be told that the trade could take care lof itself. He added that Mr. Osmond Wil- liams, M.P., had already helped the move- ment, and promised to do so again. The Railway Company were also ready to render assistance.—Mr. Jones-Hughes having se- conded, the motion was then carried. Standing Orders. Mr. E. L. Rowlands gave notice of motion to consider at the next meeting the advisability of having Standing Oiders tor the Council as that would facilitate business.—Mr. Latiwer said he would be prepared to second the mo- tion, only he did not knew what had become of a previous motion by Mr. Rowlands in respect of house to house inspection.—The Medical Officer the house to house inspection at Towyn was being proceeded with.—Mr. Lati- mer: I am not criticising you, but Mr. Row- lands —(Laughter.

W. Steel Talgarth, for employing a child, Amy Mason in contravention of the bylaws and for not causing her to attend school regularly, but 'n spite of the clearest evidence, the majority of the magistrates decided to dis miss the case.—It was resolved to express the Board's deep regret at the decision arrived at by the majority of the magistrates, as the evidence appeared conclusive that the law and bylaw had been violated and that the result of the decision will be to induce parents and thus proving detrimental to the cause of edu- employers to employ children in a similar way cation. Candidates for Pupil Teachership at Towyn Infant School.—The report of Mr Roberts on the examination of Miss Kate Ruth Davies Arfor-terrace, and Miss Ida Evelyn Davies, Marine parade, having been read, it was re solved that Miss Kate Ruth Davies be a pointed subject to her producing a certifi cate under the hand of a medical practitioner of her physical fitness for the post.

Rowlands reported that the committee ap- pointed to consider this matter were unable to attend the meeting convened for the 9th Sep- etmber on account of the violence of the weather. Under the circumstances Mr How ard Jones attended and produced plans of a shelter.—It was agreed to authorize him to alter the plans so as to reduce the cost as much as possible, consistent with efficiency, and to ask Mr J. O. Williams, the builder, to tender for the work. Balance of Loan.—The balance unspent of the loan at Pantperthog was directed to be applied towards building a shelter, and the balance unspent at Bryncrug School in im- proving the sanitary arrangements and the approaches thereto.

G. Pri chard, who has been appointed by the County Council on the local committee urged the Council to elect two members of the present Board inasmuch as they were well versed in the work.—Mr. Morris Roberts said there should be new blood and proposed Mr. Evan Richards as one manager.—Mr. David Griffith was in favour of limiting the choice to the School Board members.—Mr. Wm. Jones thought one of the two should come from Minffordd and Mr. W. S. Pierce agreed.—Mr. R. G. Prichard said Minffordd had but a small school. He had done his best for it in the past and would do so in the future. H:1 saw no reason for Minffordd having one out of two.—Mr. Wm. Jones and Mr. Prichard then engaged in a warm argument. On a vote being taken only the proposer and seconder voted for the direct representation of Minffordd.— The Council proceeded to a ballot on the elec tion of two managers, Messrs. Wm. Jones an J AV.
