LLEYN AND EIVION NOTES. In your report of the last meeting of the Lleyn District Council, I see that that body acknowledges to an extent its monetary obliga- tions to its two road surveyors. Mr D. Wil- liams and Mr J. T. Rees are admitted on all hands to be conscientious and able officers, and I must confess to being surprised at the council deciding, by a majority of one, to increase the salary by R5 instead of £ 8 as was suggested by Mr W. Pritchard. I believe that this is not only inadequate, but also more or less parsi- monious. But I suppose that we should be thankful for "small mercies." It certainly seems ridiculous that the surveyors are worse off in the matter of pay than some of the labour- ers. It is likely that during the Easter holidays, there will be three strong attractions in this part of the country, and the three of totally different natures. In Criccieth, there are prospects of a successful Eisteddfod, chairing in the afternool1 and important choral competitions in the even- ing. In Nejvin, the first annual show will be held in this district. The secretary, Mr Tho- mas, and others, are working most energetically towards its success. At Pwllheli, the first athletic sports of the season take place, super- intended by Mr F. E. Young, in the recreation grounds of Messrs S. Andrews and Son. On same day, the local Eisteddfod at Salem is also held. This seems to show that the people of Lleyn and Eivion have faith in the prosperity of the district, and I have no .doubt but that their faith will be justified. Besides the attractions referred to above, there will be during the coming summer no less than four or five agricultural shows. Some people assert that this will be too many, but in view of the strong support which they get, I believe they will be successful. I have no doubt that Portmadoc will have a very successful show. One thing may tell against it, and that is the fact that the advertising has been left off until rather late. I see that the matter of the transfer of the lease of the recreation ground of the Portmadoc County School has been again under the con- sideration of the governors. Though they did not offer any opinions this time, the views of Mr Casson on the question were easily seen from the letter from him which was read. Able men and conscientious, where the interest of the town are at stake, hold such different opinions on the matter that I dare not express mine, but I shall be very sorry if the school which has been and is doing such good work, suffers because of this misunderstanding and the continual delay which arises possibly from a very small cause. The Rev J. T. Pritchard, Pwllheli, faithfully brought forward his motion at the Lleyn Monthly Meeting, on the question of the war, in accordance with his notice of motion. The resolution which he moved the adoption of was to the effect that they rejoiced at the news of England's victories and that the time bad come for the Government to take steps with a view to coming to a peaceful settlement. For lack of a seconder, the resolution was thrown out! So the opinion of the Monthly Meeting upon the war still remains to be given, if the refusal of this resolution is not a sufficient index to it. I wonder if it is? Did the members object to rejoicing at the news of British victories, or did they object to the demand for steps to secure a peaceful settlement? Everybody must draw bis own conclusion, and whatever that may be, it cannot be much to the credit of those who profess to be followers of the Prince of Peace.
