Breese, county clerk: Dr. Lewys Lloyd, medical officer; Mr. Vaughton, surveyor; Mr. R. Barnett, treasurer: and other officials. Sir Henry Robertson, Pale, and Mr. Morris Evans, Bryn Oleu, wrote saying they were unable to attend. Analysis. Mr. T. P. Blunt reported receiving four samples of milk for analysis. One was deficient 5.5 per cent. and another 6.9 per cent. in non- fatty solids, the others being genuine. Mr. Ward, the agricultural analyst, reported a I sample of linseed cake 2.5 per cent, deficient in albumenoids, and a sample of superphosphate 1.07 of soluble phosphates above guarantee. Main Roads. Mr. Joseph Humphreys brought up the re- port of the Main Roads Committee which recom- mended the adoption of the Berkshire Council's resolution that legislation should be introduced for payment of a fair mileage rate by the owners of motor omnibuses to highway authori- ties. The Surveyor was directed to notify owners of gates on main roads that where gates were not in perfect working order they must be repaired or removed. A sub-committee was appointed, with Sir Henry Robertson as con- vener, to consider the advisability of preparing new schemes for the maintenance of rural main roads from July, 1918. when the present con- tract expires, and that in the meantime the classification of roads and the award of prize money to the section men be deferred. Seven members were nominated to act as advisory committee to deal with the requirements as re- gards road material in conjunction with the Road Stone Committee. The Surveyor in his report stated that urban main roads were Oil the whole in good order. TOWYll Urban Coun- cil had carried out excellent work at Towyn and Aberdovey in tar macadamising. Expenditure on rural main roads had again been consider- ably lower than the estimates, due mainly to the greatly-reduced number of heavy motor cars and to the fact that the Council's contractors had been unable to carry out work ordered owing to shortage of labour. Nevertheless the roads, on the whole, were in good order. Mr. Morris Evans Brynoleu, wrote referring to the Surveyor's report that main roads in urban districts were in good order, and said he had asked in com- mittee if anything had been done to the surface of Rallt Goch in the past ten vears? The Surveyor could not say, but was doing some other portion. Mr. Evans also asked the Surveyor what portion had been attended to in the past three years, and again he could not say, though he certified that the roads on the whole were in gooil order. People were com- plaining badly respecting the roads about the vil- lage of Festiniog. The channels had not been opened, except what had been done during the past two or three days. When complaint was made to the Urban Council it said it had no. money. When complaint was made to the Main Roads Committee the reply was that. the district councils were paid by the County Coun- cil and should do the work. Why was it that Festiniog village had been neglected when other villages had had macadam and tar spraying? The people felt that they were sittiyiz between two stools and wanted to decide which stool was to give them justice. It having been proposed that the letter should be sent to Festiniog Urban Council, Mr. Wm. Owen did not think that necessary. lIe did not think there was just cause for Mr. Evans to write in that strain. TT was agreed to allow the letter to lie on the table. Mr. Joseph Humphreys stated that the Main Roads Committee met that morning to eon- sider Messrs Davies Bros.' application roi c-iri- sideration in regard to additional cost of material and labour ri carrying out their con- tract with the Council for the maintenance of main roads. A statement was submitted by Messrs. Davies, prepared bv a chartered account- ant, and it was agreed to recommend an allow- ance of E200 for the year ended March, 1917. The recommendation was adopted. Finance. Mr. Maethlon James brought up the report of the Finance Committee which recommended the Council to enter into an agreement, with the Memorial Association for a term of three years to pay to the Association a sum not exceeding the produce of a d. rate and that the estimates of administrative expenses to be incurred by the County Navy and Military War Pensions Committee from May. 1917 to March, 1918, at £380, be approved. In moving the adoption of the report, Mr. James said the total receipts for the quarter ended March were £2,767 and liabilities C4,897, an excess of liabilities over receipts of £ 2.130 as compared with £3,853 for the same period in 1916. For the quarter ended 30tli June the expenditure was £5,142 and in- come £7,150, showing a saving of ;E2,000. He hoped that the current quarter would show a similar saving; but there were extraordinary payments to be made. That day an extra £ 200 was required for the main roads contract and an additional demand from another quarter. Dr. Richard Jones said he should like to have some explanation of the request by the Mem. orial Association for an increased contribution from Id. to 3d. It was a big jump. He was not there to critcise the Association, though perhaps it was open to criticism. He believed that the results in the county were practically nil. Mr. Martin Williams said that Dr. Lewvs Llov(l could give a better explanation than he could. The Association found that it was not in a position to meet demands owing to the great increase in cases occasioned by the war. If the increased contribution was not made, if would mean the giving up of about 300 beds. Merioneth had benefited from the work of the Association to a greafcr extent than any county in Wales. Dr. Lewvs Lloyrl further explained that the figures given at the Chester conference were— Total number of cases treated in 1915. 2.041; in 1916-17. 3,908: beds occupied in 1915, 645: in 1916 786: and 1917, 940. The product of d. rate would maintain 700 beds only: so the Association would have to throw out patients I or to ask for increased contribution Dr. Richard Jones said he was satisfied with the explanation but whether the present way of dealing with consumptives was the proper way was another matter. He thought the effort was in the wrong direction. It was try-

(illg to cure a disease which was incurable, j The effort should be made in the dire-tion of prevention. The report was adopted. Education Committee. Dr. John Jones brought up the report of the Education Committee which recommended that I Cwmnantcol Council School should be closed and the travelling expenses of the children paid to the nearest school. The Committee also recom- mended the closure of Rliyd Council School and Corris Church School. The County Medical Officer reported on the proposed scheme of medical treatment of defective cases and as to the need of clinics, recommending that for the first year two centres should be established— | one at Festiniog and the other at Dolgeiley-or Barmouth. The estimate, including the prelim- inary establishment charges, was £313 10s. The Committee recommended the preparation of a scheme and that a specialist should be appointed to undertake the operations, with an additional nurse for each clinic at Festiniog and Dolgellev. Applications for increase of teachers' salaries were considered and, having regard to evident inequalities, it was agreed to prepare and adopt a scale of salaries applicable to all teachers. It was also resolved to revise the salaries paid to the office staff. A letter was read from the Board of Education agreeing to the closure of Glvndyfrdwy Church School. The Secretary read a letter from the Board of Education with reference to alleged default of the authority to supply a head teacher for Dolgeiley Church School and as to complaints made by the Managers as to the salary and qualifications of other members of the staff. The Secretary having stated that a fully-qualified teacher was offered to the Managers who refused to appoint her, he was instructed to reply to the Board's communication. The report was adopted: and, at a special meeting of the Committee subsequently held, Mr. Edward R. Williams, Higher Elementary School, Festiniog, was appointed to the head- mastership of Talsarnau School: Mr. H. G. Parry, Aberllefenni, to Bryncrug; and Mr. W. j G. Laker, Corwen to Tynvberth. A letter was read from the Board of Education refusing the closure of Cwmnantcol Council School. Small Holdings. Mr. L. J. Davies brought up the report of the Small Holdings and Allotments Committee which had let Braichybedw, Dolgelley, to John Williams, Cuttiau, and had resolved that the tenants of certain holdings mentioned in the Towyn Local Committee's report should be served with notice to quit owing to bad culti- vation. The Agent was instructed to take steps to compulsorilv acquire land at Arthog. Dr. Richard Jones asked if the Committee had received any communication with regard to the site of an isolation hospital on a small holding at Maentwrog, and the Clerk and Mr. L. J. Davies replied that they had heard nothing of it. County Rate Basis. The Clerk stated that he had received the following letter from Mr. J. Jones Morris on behalf of the overseers of Festiniog parish call- ing attention to the valuation of the parish for county rate purposes. As matters are now at Festiniog. the letter proceeded, assessment for county rate purposes in respect of special and house properties are out of proportion to the fair and proper valuation. The overseers there- fore asked the County Rating Committee to re- ceive a deputation to discuss the present serious position at Festiniog with a view to a reduc- tion in the county rate basis. The Clerk added that the county rate basis was prepared last vear and the overseers of Festiniog were given exactlv the same opportunity for appealing as all other narishes, and no appeal was received. The question now was whether it was the wish of the Council to alter the whole county basis, for that was what Festiniog's application meant. Mr Robert Evans proposed that it should not be done. The Committee spent a lot of time and went carefully into the matter before adopting the present basis. Dr John Jones said when the war was over the whole thing might be reconsidered. The Conn- cil would not now be justified in re-opening the matter. Mr. Anwyl stated that between E,40 and B50 was spent in revising the county basis last year. Dr. Richard Jones did not think the applica- tion was to alter the basis for this year. There was no harm in having every possible enlighten- ment and there could be no objection to receiv- ing a deputation to give information. He pro- posed that the deputation should be received. Mr. William Owen said he was at the meet- ing of overseers when it was decided to make that application, for he was sorry he occupied the position of overseer. He had no objection to reconsider the revaluation of the whole county.. There had been a reduction of £ 8.000 ot- Fes- tiniog parfsh in 1916, but there was now a diiference of E12,000 between the union assess- ment and the county assessment, which the overseers thought to be monstrous. The assess- ment should be on one basis everywhere. Other unions suffered in the same way and with Festiniog would like a revaluation of the whole county. At any rate, he did net see what objection there could be to receiving the depu- tation. If the overseers wore refused and; appealed to Quarter Sessions it would cost miney. There were 700 empty houses at Fes- tiniog, and yet they w^re assessed to the county rate as if they were occupied. Rents had fallen twenty-five per cent, and house property v as v white elephant. Mr. White Phillips seconded Dr. Richard Jones's proposal to receive the deputation. Mr. Robert Evans said the present basis was fixed last year. Let the Council see how it worked before entering on another. Mr. William Owen said the new basis was now \n operation by which Festiniog had had a re- duction. Special properties had been dealt with and the overseers now wanted house and general property dealt with. Mr. Morris. Trawsfynydd, said that houses were empty, and it was only fair that the over- seers should be met. If things improved it would be easy to adjust the assessment. He had been connected with the rates for a great many years in his own parish and thought the county and union rates should be levied on the same basis. The Council ought to study every part of the county. Mr. William Owen said that when war broke out 2,800 men were working at Festiniog quarries. To-day the number was 820 ( iilv. In the rest of the county there was not much differ- ence. Festiniog overseers were required to pro- vide E14,000 to meet union and county calls and could not get the money. They did not like to sue people for rates, but would have to do it. though it was known they could not pay. The Local Government Board had been asked to make a grant to Festiniog to enable it to meet the calls as the Board had been doing in other places. The Board granted £ 1,500 every three months to the Isle of Man and made grants to East Coast towns. Festiniog had been hit by the same thing in all respects, for the men had been taken away for national service. Mr. Robert Evans said it was strange no appeal was made by Corris where the slate quarries had altogether stopped. If the pro- position was passed he should ask for a return of what Festiniog received from county funds. A great deal uf jr.oiK-y wa.5 now paid tu Fes- tinioc. On a show of hands nineteen voted for receiv- ing the deputation and fourteen against, and the arrangement for the meeting was left to the Chairman of the County Rating Committee. Health and Housing. The Health and Housing Committee reported that the County Medical Officer's report on the intant welfare scheme was adopted and the work under the scheme would he carried on for another year. Penllyn Nursing Association was not prepared to allow its district nurse to under- take health visiting owing to the large area and the scattered population, and the Medical Officer was asked to see what arrangements can be made. On the provision of midwives, it was resolved that S20 per annum for two years he gran'ted each to Penllyn and Towyn, provided that district nurses are maintained for that period. A circular letter from the Local Gov- ernment Board to urban and rural councils relative to housing and town planning schemes was considered and it was resolved that each local authority should be asked to supply the County Medical Officer with a copy of schemes sent to the Local Government Board. The report was adopted. Maternity and Infant Welfare. The Committee stated that Mr. Maethlon James reported that the small number of births in Pennal did not justify a centre, and Mrs. Haydn Jones reported that a sub-centre had been opened at Bryncrug for the winter months nnd that in summer mothers would attend at Towvn. The Medical Officer (Dr. Lewys Lloyd) < reported that he was in correspondence with the Local Government Board with reference to a supply of sugar to be kept at the Central Office for bottle-fed babies.

Towyn Sessions.
Towyn Sessions. I THEFTS FROM ABERDOVEY. I At Towyn Sessions. on Friday, before H. H. Shuker, H. J. Evans, J. Maethlon James, and Meredith Jones, Esqrs., Mr. Edward Rowland, I taxation officer, summoned Daniel Evans, farmer, Bwlcliymaen, for using a carriage with- out a licence.-Mr. Rowland said defendant was in the habit of taking out a licence and had done so.—The case was dismissed. William Jones, farmer Llanerchgoediog. Towyn, was summoned for keeping a trap without a licence. It was his neglect in not taking out a licence. He I had been taking out a licence for sixteen years and his reason for not doing so this year was that the pony that drew it had been ill and he had not taken the trap out.—Fined 10s. P.S. David Jones, summoned Robert Jones, farmer, Nantcanfawr, Llanfihangel, for com- mitting a breach of the Sale of Horses Act.- Sergeant Jones said defendant sold a horse to John Lewis, Ffridd, Newtown, on August 18th without a permit.—Defendant said John Lewis asked if he was prepared to sell a horse to him. He replied that he was not certain whether there were not any rules regarding the sale of horses and sent his daughter to two men whom he thought knew. They thought he could sell. He then sent the horse to Newtown a few days later. He nevertheless had a licence on August 25th. He pleaded not guilty.—John Lewis, Fridd Farm, Newtown, was also sum- moned for buying the horse from Robert Jones. Defendant said he did not receive the horse (for which he had not paid) until August 21st. He was not aware of any rules.—Sergt. Jones Do you say you did not know the rules?— Defendant: 1 did not.—Sergeant Jones: You have undoubtedly heard of the many farmers in your district who have been fined for tran- sactions of this kind?—Defendant: I did not hear anything or see anything in the papei-s.A fine of E2 was imposed on each defendant. Owain Glyndwr Evans (8), and Maldwyn Evans (6), 12 Chapel-square. Aberdovey, were summoned by P.C. David Robert for breaking into St. Peter's Church.—P.C. Richards said Mr Thomas Rowlands, the verger, told him that someone had broken into the church and broken the window. He examined the place and found 4he window pane broken and an entrance e;le ted by lifting the winlow latch. A box containing money was not tampered with. Witness made in- quiries and interviewed defendants in their mothers' presence and charged them. Maldwyn Evans admitted having been near the Church with his brother who broke the window and entered. Owain Glyndwr admitted entering the Church as he saw a hole in the window. When he came out of the Church his brother had gone home.-The boys admitted the offence ann, in reply to Mr. Meredith Jones, the mother, Hannah Jones, said her husband was in Sal- onika. During a holiday in Aberystwyth the lad, Owain Glyndwr, had been birched for theft in the Vale of Rheidol Railway Station: but the real offender was afterwards found.-P.C. Roberts said other thefts had been committed by the boy, the stolen articles which had been recovered being a fountain pen, railway badges, wristlet watch, fishing reel, fishing line, and fifteen gas burners.—The Bench, taking into consideration the boy's health, took a lenient view of the case and bound them over for twelve months in the sum of £10, saying that any if- currence would be dealt with severely. Mrs. Annie Williams, Penyhont, Bryncrug. for keeping a dog without licence, was fined 10s.

(Continued from previous column.) centre up to April 30th showed that the work done is satisfactory. Nurse Bruckshaw visited all centres, except Festiniog, and reported that the work was satisfactory. The majority of babies were six months old or over, and i: would make for more efficient work if mothers could be persuaded to bring children before they are three months ola. The cases of health visiting towns and their, neighbourhoods were visited as a rule with promptitude and regularity, but visting in rerrtote rural districts was not quite so good. He recommended that the centres should be carried on as at present for another year, but that an additional centre should be established at Harlech. The annual working cost wasj £34, less Cl5 repayable for the Local Government Board. It was very desirable that ante.natal work should be done, but in view of the difficulties in a county like Merioneth he suggested the appointment of a committee to consider the matter. The Committee agreed to establish a centre at Harlech, and Lady Robert- | son, Dr. John Jones, Messrs D. White Phillips, and J. Maethlon James, Dr. Richard Jones, the Superintendent Health Visitor, and County Medical Officer were appointed to consider ante- natal work. Mr. White Phillips was thanked for the efficient and wholehearted manner he had thrown into the work of the Committee. The renort was adopted, Dr. John Jones sav- ing that Mr. White Phillips had done most valuable work. Dr. Richard Jones agreed, saying that the work would not be so advanced were it not for ¡ Mr. White Phillips. He was also chairman of the Mentally Defectives Committee. That was a matter which concerned the whole of North Wales and he (Dr. Richard Jones) did not know that the right step had been taken at Penrhyn for the treatment of mentally defectives. It would have been much better to have one insti- tution instead of two or three scattered over the counties. Appointments. Messrs. Humphrey Jones, H. W. Vaughan, and R. T. Vaughan were re-appointed Council representatives on the Farm Committee of the University College of Wales. Six members were reappointed Dee fishery governors. Dr. John John Jones was appointed member (f the Central Welsh Board, vice Sir Osmond Williams, resigned. Mr. H. O. Richard, Dolafon, was put on the War Pensions Committee in the place of Mrs. W. 0. Williams, deceased, and the appointment of Mr. Humphrey P. Hughes, nom- inated by the Slate Quarrymen's Union, vice Mr. J. R. Williams, resigned, was confirmed. The Rev. Mr. Evans (Cong.), Bryncrug, was I appointed Towyn School governor' in place of Mr. David Lloyd, deceased. Reprisals. A resolution by Cardiff City Council in favour of German reprisals for German air raids on civilian populations was allowed to lie on the table, Mr. Owen considering it was a matter for the Government to deal with and not a county council. ° Insurance. The Clerk read a letter from the company in- suing the Council's employees against accidents saying they were willing to cover increased com- pensation at an additional ten per cent. per annum. The matter was left in the hands of the Clerk to arrange. Agricultural Buildings. The Clerk read the following letter from Mr J. H. Davies, registrar of the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth :-The authorities of the College are at present making arrangements for an appeal to the country for funds to erect, inter alia, new agricultural buildings. In view- of the fact that a fund has been started in con- nection with the University College of North Wales, Bangor, with a similar object in view, I think it is only right that the counties of Merioneth and Montgomery, which are associ- i ated with Aberystwyth College for the purposes of agricultural teaching and organisation, should be made aware cf the intention of this College. Further particulars of the appeal to be made by this College will be sent you in due course. Mr. Anwyl said an appeal was being made in Merioneth to contribute to a fund for build- ings at Bangor. Was Merioneth to support Bangor or Aberystwyth ? Dr. John Jones—Both. Mr. Robert Evans said that Merioneth was affiliated with Aberystwyth in matters agricul- tural and lectures, etc., were given. Seeing that Bangor was moving, Aberystwyth was doing the same, and it was for Merioneth to say to which it would subscribe. Mr. William Owen said the building at Bangor was a memorial to North Wales heroes and it would be used not only for agricultural science, but for every branch of science. Merioneth could contribute to both. Dr. Richard Jones said that Merioneth was not wholly agricultural. It had other industries besides agriculture. The new building at Bangor would be utilised for industry as a whole. Dr. John Jones said the County Council was more or less pledged to support the science 1 building at Bangor. Mr. Martin Williams thought there was no conflict between the colleges. The Principal of Aberystwyth College had publicly supported the appeal 011 behalf of the memorial and he had also the nronise of the support of an eminent Aberystwyth College had publicly supported the appeal Oil behalf of the memorial and he had also the nronise of the support of an eminent Ab«rvstwyth >)]"ofe3sor. The Council then rose.

—— f IK 451 JT •x- w j Our Portrait is of Mr. FREDERICK BIRCH, of 5, Ormond Road, Hornsey Rise, London, N., who writes: "I was suffering from DISEASED RIGHT HIP for four years, and had to o in hospital four times (once for 10 months). The disease started with inflammation in the hip, and then a bad Abscess formed. I had to have THREE OPERATIONS PERFORMED, and after each I was laid out with weights on the legs and tubes in the hip; THE PAIN WAS INTENSE. Still there did not, seem to be I much improvement. Then, seeing in one of the papers a case similar to mv own having been cured by CLARKE'S BLOOD MIX- TURE,' I thought I would try it, and after a few bottles found a great improvement, so continued with your Mixture, and I am glad to say the wounds in my hip are completely healed and the pain is all gone; in fact, I AM NOW QUITE CURED." CLARKE S BLOOD MIXTURE, by reason of I its remarkable blood purifying properties, can be relied upon to give speedy relief and lasting benefit in all cases of Eczema.
