A letter was received from the secretary of the Lifeboat. Institution, in reply to the Coun- cil's letter as to the barometer belonging to tlHt Institution at Portmadoc. The letter Mated that after they rei eived a leter from the Council in 1898 in regard to the matter, the district inspector was asked to report to the institution. and it was then pointed out that no barometer was waiit«Hl at Criccietn. The institution, however, would see to the matter again.—Another letter was received from the secretary of th« institution asking the Council to pass n resolution showing their sjmpathy with the work of the local branch" of the society, and if that was done it would do much good. — Mr T. Burn-ell thought that a more active interest should be taken in the work of the institution in ths town. He proposed that a letter be sent to the local secretary (Captain Jones, Pwllheli) stating that the Council sympathise with the work of the society, and pointing out that there was a lack of interest in the work of the institution locally. FINANCE. It was reported that the sum of C25 8s was collected during the month. The- balance in f favour of the Council at the bank was £ 287. ROADS. &-c. J ■ A letter was read from Mr G. P. Williams asking the Council to take over the piece of road between Bryitderwen and Henfaes, after I it had been put in a condition satisfactory to [ the surveyor. It was resolved that, having regard to the fact that the road was not open | to the public, the Council were uot prepared to take it over.—It was also resolved that an application be made to Mr G. P. Williams t. for the proportion of the cost in respect of [ the footpath made in front of Henfaes. The Surveyor reported as to an exchange ¡. agreed upon between the Council and Mr W. Watkin some years ago, whereby in lieu of a j.. small plot of land in Marine terrace, Mr Watkin agreed to give in return the courtyard in front of the house formerly occupied by the late John Pritehard.—It. was resolved that the necessary plans for exchange be made by the surveyor and submitted to the com- mittee. I SUMMER ENTERTAINMENTS. A letter ^\as received from a Nortbwich concert party offering to provide entertain-, mente in Criccieth during the summer months. A Lancashire Orchestra Company also wrote to the same effect.—Mr D. M. Williams said there were complaints that there were no attractions in Criccieth for visitors during the summer months. If the Council L'ould make the town more attractive, lie thought it was their duty to do so. He propos.ed that the matter be re- ferred to the committee.—Mr J. W. Roberts said the matter had been before the com- mittee, and they thought that they had no right to accept or refuse a company of en- tertainers. They could come on their own responsibility.—Dr L. Davies seconded the -motion for referring the matter back to the committee, and it was passed. THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAY. Mr J. W. Roberts, referring to the minutes of the Improvements Committee, complained of ths way Criccieth was treated by the Cambrian Railway Company in re- gard to advertising in guides. Pictures of several seaside resorts along the coast were put in. but Criccieth was ignored.—It was decided to call the attention of the railway company to this. and aLso to the question of issuing return tickets on market days to lVlllieli. — Mr Robert Davies thought that the attention of the railway company should also be drawn to the crossing, and the opening and closing of the gates.—Mr T. Burnell said they should state definitely what their complaint was with regard to the crossing. — Mr J. W. Roberts said the complaint- was that the gates were clo-ed for a considerable time, and. therefore, kept the traffic waiting. The gates were sometimes closed for about twenty-five minutes.—It was resolved that this matter should also be brought to the notice of the company. THE PROMENADE SHELTERS. A letter was read from Sir H. J. Ellis Xanney with regai-d to the land for the erection of shelters, stating that he wished to get further particulars, before coming to a decision in the matter, as to whether the proposed shelters would be removable.—Mr J. W. Roberts, chairman of the Improve- ments Committee, said they thought, that while the Council had laud themselves it would not be right to spend the ratepayers' money to buy other land.—Mr W. Watkin said that while the question of the shelters was before the Council, he would move the suspension of the stand- ing orders, in order to call attention to a matter which he thought was im- portant.—Mr R. Davies seconded, and it was resolved to suspend the standing orders. -Mr Watkin then said it had been decided to erect two shelters at a cost of £ 210; but he now found that they could get shelters for less money. He had seen two shelters at Barmouth, which had cost only £ 74. He thought they should recousider the matter be "ore spending the money, and he moved ths recision of the Council's resolution, and that the. Jpatter be referred to the Improve- ments 'Committee, and that they be asked to get plans for two shelters, the cost to be £ 50 each.—Mr D. M. Williams seconded. —Mr J. W. Roberts said the committee thought the shelters recommended would be the best. If they were going in for any- thing, thev should get things that would last, and not a cheap article.—After some discussion, Mr Wat kin's motion for re- ferring the matter back to the committee was carried. THE INFLUENZA: THE CLOSING OF SCHOOLS. The Clerk reported that Dr Fraser. the medical officer of health, had sent a notice asking the Council to sign an order for the closing of the day school for ten days owing to the prevalence of influenza i" the district. — A long discussion took place.—Mr T. Burnell said that the school Was closed at a time when those children who had been suffering from influenza had become better and were going to school. The attendance was improving when the school was closed. Mr Burnell added that lIe was only saying this in the interest of the school. — Dr Livingstone Davies said
