fMDAY, AlPRIL 26, 1907. SCIENCE AND THE FARM. Many old lfaahioned farmers sniff super- ciliously at the notion of science bein,g appliied to farming. They do not realise that science is simply a fine name for wide and exact know- ledge-in other words for organised common sense. The scientific men have not been wholly free from blame for the attitude of the farmer. They have some-times seemed more certain of everything than a. wise man ought to be of any- thing. They have at other times made the impression that scienioe means little more than the placing of new labels on old bottles—say "aqua pura" on a bottle containing water. Butf happily, the distrust is vanishing. "Science with Practice" is recognised as the true motto. In the evolution of ideas, the .Agricultural Dmpaflttment lof the University College of North Wales takes a worthy and creditable part. Every year, the work done by Professor Winter and his helpers becomes more and more valuable, and last year an ex- ceptionally heavy crop of experimental results seems to have been garnered. Already, eight little pamphlets giving de- tails of the various experiments have 'been published; and for aught we know, there may be more to follow. We have already sum. marised the first two. The third records ex- periments with the oat-growing experiments at Madryn. The heaviest yields were from "Wideawake" and "Thousand Dollar" {both Canadian), but the award1 for quality.is given by iMr Robert Gardner, Valley, lin favour of ;eeAbundanoe" (pGarUjp), whicib yielded <a.teo good! weight. The (fourth pamphlet deals with the spraying of charlock in com. This chronicles results in -four ^counties. Three ,different solutions pf sulphate of copper were used. The "three per cent, solution" gave better result's than usual. "Professor Winter regards the experiments as so successful that be urges that spraying should soon be common practice where oorn is infested with charlock. Ne suggests that 'large 'farmers should, 00- operate to buy a spraying .machine, and that smell fanners should use a "knapsack" ma- chine. Pamphlets V. and VI are devoted to ^pcMoea. 'Whe importianoe of Changing the Awd is <;lear5y demonstratedfby the experi- ments and spraying the seed with sulphate •of copper sokrtion is shown to be of signal tervice in producing a lnrge increase in the jield of (mariaMble potatoes. Tke seventh pamphlet gives derails of elaborate experiments on four Carnarvoniftiire farms in growjEg mgoz beet. Tœ heaviest yield was obtained from "Vilmorin blanohe" seeds at Madryn Farm, Aber 22 toM lie. 48tb. per acre. The aver- age yieldI per acTe of the whole experiments is considerabSy higher than the average yueid in Germany, as recorded by Dr Sigmiund Stein, 11he great sugar expert. As io the quantity of sugar and the purity of t.he juice, the figures do not differ much from tiliose given by another Merman expert—Dr Licht, of Magdeburg. These coincide with tlhe results obtained -in 1905 from XWU grown at Wern MJ4 9.t Glynllifou, Pro- fessor Winter sums up ttfuerestiltg in a buoyant I note: "These experiments appear to &how be- yond doubt that sugar beet can he success- fully grown in Carnarvonshire; and that neither ,in respect of weight of crop nor in the quantity and quality of 'the sugar obtained would the results be inferior to those of Ger- many." The remaining pamphlet (VIII.) re- cords the results of experiments in feeding mountain lambs. '"Sugar feeds" (taking into account the difference in money value) were found to be inferior to oats of average quality. Whidb shows that, Science. is not invariably on the side of the innovator.
SEA FISHING.
SEA FISHING. The quarterly report of the Superintendent of the Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries District (Dr. J. Travis Jenkins) records an improvement in inshore and deep-sea trawling as compared with last year. The value of "wet" fish landed in the whole district, in- creased from £ 1,881 to £ 3,092. Aberystwyth, Aberdovey, Pwllheli and Carnarvon report however a falling off. Holyhead has grown from JB56 to .Ð3óO, and Bangor from £682 to £ 1,115—surely a. very satisfactory record. The steam trawlers of Liverpool and Fleetwood report large increases; but no steam trawlers have been noticed in Cardigan Bay. As to the sailing trawlers, the weather has been ad- verse., and so, except a. little during January and March, there was no fishing in Carnarvon Bay. Off Redwharf and Conway Bays, the tTawling has for the most part been carried on outside the limits. Cardigan iBay has been left alone by foreigners," and the local boats have done well when weather permitted. In Trema.doc.Bay, however, fish were very scarce. The total value of shellfish for the whole dis- trict shows a slight increase. There is, how- ever. a slight decrease at Pwllheli. Carnarvon is "up "—from JB38 to £96. lBangor is far higher up—from JB944 to £1,368. In regard to the Conway mussels, Dr Travis Jenkins strongly recommends transplanting a bed of small mussels to deeper water. That is what the Committee ought to do, we should think. But Dr. Travis Jenkins adds: "Unfortunately, the Committee has at present no funds avail- able for this work in the Western District." That remark is remarkable for since Hoy- lake and Parkgate fishermen are free to come and take mussles at Conway, one might sup- pose that the funds as well as the- fish, had been "pooled." But it seems to be a game of "Heads, I win; tails, you lose!" The rules of this peculiar game need revising as much as the rules of billiards. iBoth in the Dovey and in the Conway, local fishermen have transplanted mussels at their own expense in previous years; but strangers grabbed the benefit; and now, very naturally, the local men decline to do anything. This sort of thing is Turkish rather than tBritish. The Welsh County Councils should wake up and put a stop to the stupid injustice.
IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE TO…
IMPROVED TRAIN SERVICE TO THE COAST. We make the important announcement, to- day that on and after the first of June the L. and; N.-W. Railway Co. intend to run an express train leaving Manchester at 6.15 for Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, and Llandudno, the distance to be covered in two and a half 'hours. On the same date the company will put) on a new express from Llandudno and Colwyn Bay to Manchester, leaving the former town at 7 a.m. and Colwyni Bay at 7.16, which will do the journey in two hours and twelve minutes. The company intimate the pro- bability of this important early morning ex- press being run daily throughout July, August, and ISeptember. Lancashire residents here have been complaining .for some time past that the 6.10 a.m. from Llandudno to Manchester lands them too late for business, especially wtben they have to proceed beyond Manches- ter—«ay to Oldham—and that on the return journey the 4.20 p.m. to Llandudno leaves too early to suit them. It !is to meet their re- quirements that the railway company have deqided to put on earlier and later express trains in both directions, and the travelling public to and from North Wales will feel most grateful to the directors for the accommodating spinit they have shown. The 6.15 from Manchester wilt stop at the Junction, but, unfortunately, there will be no connection with Bangor or Carnarvon, an omission to be rectified, we trust, on represen- tation to the Company from these towns. The advance time tables (we are informed) show that the 6.5 a.m. (Mondays only) from Bangor will connect at Llandudno Junction with the new moming express from Llandudno. Of course, it is just possible that thi& arrange- ment may ,be changed before the publication of the official fame tables, but sillib a course is not likely. The Bangor passengers will have to wait nearly (half an hour at Llandudno Junction. That being so, it is a pity that the Company does not arrange to start the train from Carnarvon.
BRAVO, CONWAY!
BRAVO, CONWAY! After many U'P8 and downs, the ratepayers øf Conway are to be congratulated upon having reached firm land. Reckless adminis- tration was responsible for Tunning .the Borough into debt which, six years a.go, amounted to nearly £10,500. The maiority of the members of the Council thought more of currying favour with the electors than of levying a sufficient rate to meet .their estimates. Hence the chaotic state of affairs. In vain did the late Alderman Hugh Hughes protest against such a disastrous policy. He had to be satisfied with the consciousness of being a financial reformer crying in the wilderness. But the return of such financial purists as Mr R. S. Chamberlain, Mr James porter, Aid. Dr R. A. Prichard, Councillor A. J. Oldman and Aid. Netherwood, as members of the Council, the Boromah) Chancellor v/an enabled to in- augurate a paying-off policy. On Wednesday, the local authority could have reduced' their debt at the bankers to £200. They decided, however, to transfer only JB600 to reduce the deficit on the Borough Fund. 'By so doing. they were able to make a reduction of four- pence in the pound on the General District Sate and of a penny in the Rate. It would ihave been better to payoff the whole debt and accumulate a small balance, before # reducing the rates. But upon the whole, what was dbne was fairly satisfactory. Besides paying off their debt, the Town Council have carried out improvements, which were very desirable. They have spent hun- dreds of pounds in providing work for the unemployed during the winter months. They have reduced the price of gas from 4s 6d to 3s 6d iper thousand. And they are now en- gaged in protecting the Moitva against sea; erosion. The future is bright! The letting of the quarries providies employment for hundreds of men. and the revenue which the ratepayers will derive by way of royalties may, in two years' time, amount to a J31000. In a word, the interests of the Borough have been studied and, the debt, at the same time has been almost paid off, by expert financin<?. Aid. Netherwood struck the right note when he stated that the l'east the Council could do was to pay a respectful tribute to the late Aid. H. Hughes, the chairman of the Finance Committee, for many years, by pursuing his sane and effective policy. It is safe, because it is the right policy. It is just because it is a reminder that it is the duty of all people to meet their obligations. Bravo, Conway!
TOWN & COUNTRY NOTES.
TOWN & COUNTRY NOTES. The Pwllheli Council have come to the con- clusion that the success of the town as a health resort will not be attained without advertising —and advertising on a. large scale. Hitherto the attractions of the town have not been made as prominent as they should, and it is due to this that Pwllhelj] is not equal in popularity to Llandudno, Colwyn 'Bay, and Rhyl. These three places spare no time, money, or trouble to catch the eyes of holiday-makers, and the result iB that they are thronged with visitors all through the summer season. There i no doubt that Pwllheli possesses some attrac- tions which cannot be found in these places, and these should be made known to the world 36 soon as possible. < < Referring to the vacancy in Merionethshire, the "Police IReview" observes "It would be well that in all advertisements (for Chief-Con- stabdeslhipis the authority should tftjipuHate that an indispensable condition of applicants for .the post be that they have had practical experience in police work for a period of not. less than seven years. Tf the conditions of the service excluded outsiders from commenc- ing their police career a5t the wron-g end of 'the ladder, many more educated men would think it wortih their while to join the police force and compete for the prizes of the profession. A stimulus would be given to all; ranks to m- prove their opportunities; a highe- standard of intelligence would be created throughout the police aind constabulary forces; and the public would benefit accordingly." That puts before us very wtell one aspect* of the case. But of course there are otiher aspects which also must be considered. < < His 'Honour Judge IMoS6 can hit the nail on the head with considerable emphasis where necessity arises; and that without any loss of dignity. I think most people who have read the details of the Parry v. 'PaJmer case, which has been fully reported in the "Bangor Heral-d" will agree that the necessity for plain speaking on the part of someone—and no one could more properly or effectively do it than Judge M068- arose in connection with the conduct of Pal- mer in that case. Palmer, trading as Palmer and Co., Birmingham, as an "accountant," ap- pears to have sent fParry a circular offering in effect so to manage Parry's business affairs, which were temporarily embarrassed, in such a manner as to free him from worry, trouble, and losses. IParrywas induced to entrust his affairs to Palmer's care, and the results were not satisfactory. (Nothing that I can say will add to the weight and severity of the Judge's strictures. What I am sorry for is that Pal- mer seems to have escaped with nothing more uncomfortable than a County Oom-t Judge's severe strictures. I must compliment Mr R. A. Griffith and Messrs S. R. Dew and Co., who instructed him, upon the able manner in which they laid bare Parry's method's of doing busi- ness, and also the plaintiff Parry on his cour- age in taking the action he did. The election of Mr John Williams to the chair 0.: the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council is an iionour which Mr Williams has thoroughly earned. He has been a member of the Council for about eight years and during that time has shown a good deal1 of sound common sense in the administration of the affairs of the town, as well as a keen interest in the business of the Council. Mr Williams hae been the chairman of the Lighting Com- mittee for some time past, and his conduct in that capacity has fully justified his colleagues in electing him to the chairmanship of the Council. He has not, .perhaps, the wift of eloquence, but he possesses what is of much srreater value—a love Sor Colwyn Ba," and a great desire for its advancement, t-oimled. with a not inconsiderable expenVnrf of public business. And Mr 'Williams in a- rest assured that during hds term of office he wiJiL have the hearty good wishes of the townspeople and the cordial co-operation of his colleagues. • • There was a turn of the tables at the annual meeting of the Conway Rural District Council. If the general rule had been adopted, Mr Rogers Jones (Glan Conway), who was the vice-chairman for the previous twelve months, would have had "a promotion" t-9 the chair. IBut it was not /to be! Mr Jones was well worthy of the honour, and had proved himself a very capable member. However, Mr Hugh Owen (Llandudno Junction) was the man to have the position conferred upon him. Two years ago Mr Hugh Owen (one of the political martyrs of (1868) was deposed" by a Tory clique, in his absence. On that particular day Mr Owen was engaged at Carnarvon in oppos- ing the granting of a. certain license, a fact, no doubt, which exasperated certain individuals. The plea ,was introduced that ii was desirable to change the chairmen every year. If so, why did the Tory members of the Council the year before try and appoint a. non-member who had filled thg chair for the previous three years? Mr Owen's friends never forgave the trick. At last, they have had their "re- venge." < < The magistrates .sit.ting at the Conway Police Court, on Monday, were in a. very lenient mood. It would be interesting to know why Two reasons are advanced. The first is that a change of policy has been decided upon con- J sequent upon the heavy costa which defend- ant's have to pay. Secondly, that the justices are determined to show their disapproval of publio criticism, at the hands of public men like Alderman J. R. Pritchard, Councillor J. R. Hughes, and Councillor Jones-Morris, by punishing the county exchequer. Knowing the magistrates of the Obnway division as I do, it will take a. long time to convince me that there exists any ground for the above suggestions. But, whatever the reasons may be, to impose a fine of sixpence and costs on a man for being drunk on licensed premises is ridiculous 1
THE BUTCHERS & THE FARMERS.
THE BUTCHERS & THE FARMERS. OPPOSITION TO CATTLE MARTS. (From "Farm Notes" in the "Chester Chronicle.") I see from .the "Carnarvon Herald" that the butchers in that district, or at least some of them, are boycotting the cattle fairs, and that the farmers are organising against the boycott. It appears that the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey butchers have signed an agree- ment not to buy cattle at any of the smithfield sales held in the two counties, and the first attempt was made at the Meanai Bridge Smith- field sale on Monday. Upon this the farmers arranged for trucks to take their cattle away to English markets rather than they should be beaten. But they happily managed the matter without having recourse to this expedient. We have threshed this thing out for our- selves in Cheshire, and find that the cattle marts meet a great need. IButchers can come, as they do come, from Lancashire, the Pot- teries, the Ylidlands.1 and distant places, and find what they require at given centres, which is an immense convenience to them. The auction marts bring buyers and sellers together, and the fact that these marts show such a steady iifcrease, both in number and the extent of the business transacted at them, is the best testimony to their utility. The farmer, on the other hand, gets the full value of his beast by competition among a- number of butchers, and he also receives ready money on the transaction. He is therefore advantaged in two ways. He gets a higher price than he would probably receive at a private sale to an invidual butcher, and he takes his cash home with him. The Carnarvon butchers admit that their objection to the marts is founded on the 'belief —I hope an erroneous one—that they can buy more cheaply privately than publicly. If that be so, then it illustrates the need for the far- mers' combination and determination to up- hold the public sale of cattle by auction in order ,to .secure the full market values of their fat stock. I am satisfied the opposition will fail, and would advise the butchers to recoga'se the ad- vantage of being able to attend a fair and pick and choose according to their require- ments.. It is best for them and for the far- mers. In this matter, in my opin'on, the :z- terestg of the buyer and seller are not antagon- istic. I shall watch developments at Carnar- von with .some interest.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.I
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING. I STUDENTS' EXPERIENCE ON BALA LAKiE. On Monday a rather strong westerly gale blew over Bala Lake, and the water was in a very troubled condition. A party of students —W. Rowlands, tHywel Parry, Francis Grif- fith, J. T. Williams, and W. Phillips—all well acquainted with the lake, went out for a sail in a boat. Owing to the strength of the wind and the waves the boat became unmanage- able. Some of the men became so excited lest the boat should capsize that they jumped nlo the water. Their position was so dangerous that they would probably have been drownel but for the prompt action of Richard Lewis, a boatman in the employ of ",he Wh'te Li m I Hotel, by whom all were brought safely to shore. )
LIFEBOAT WORK IN ANGLESEY.I
LIFEBOAT WORK IN ANGLESEY. PERSENTATION TO CAPTAIN PRESTON. In recognition of 35 years' services as hon. secretary of the Anglesey (Branch of the National Lifeboat Institution, Capt. W. M. Preston, who recently resigned that position, was on Saturday the recipient of several pre- sentations at a meeting held at the New (Hall, Menai Bridge. The Lord-Lieutenant (Sir R. H. Williams-Bulkeley, Bart.) presided over an influential gathering, and explained that the object of the meeting was to recognise in a small way the gallant and very necessary work performed for so many years by Mr Preston. In this expression of appreciation the Lifeboat Committee had obtained the co-operation of the coxswains and > lews of all the boats, and there was also a presentation from friends and ad- mirers with whom Capt. Preston had worked, and for whom he had been successful in ob- taining the sinews of war. Mr Rowley, district inspector of the Life- boat Institution, said that he and the institu- tion were greatly indebted to Mr Preston for the advise he was able to give as the result of his practical knowledge and wide experience. Already the Central Committee had recognised Mr Preston's services on six different occa- sions. In 1878 he received the thanks of the institution, inscribed on vellum, for his ardu- ous duties in connection with a shipwreck. He received a binocular glass in 1883, and in 1890 and 1893 he obtained a silver medal and a clasp respectively as acknowledgments of his gallant services in rescuing lives in shipwrecks i(cheers). In 1901 he obtained the institution's I decoration, which was the highest reward that had. ever been given, for unusually long and excellent services, and in 1905 he had the I special vote of thanks of the institution, lU- scribed on vellum, upon his retirement from the hon. secretaryship of the Anglesey branch. While much regretting the resignation of Capt. Pfp.ton, the speaker had great pleasure in welcoming Mr H. R. Davies (Treborth 'Hall) as his successor to the work 1hear, hear). The Chairman then presented Capt. Preston with an aneroid barometer on behalf of the National Lifeboat Institution. Colonel Hampton Lewis {chairman oi the An- glesey Committee) spoke on behalf of the committee, and called upon Mr Hughes (cox of the Rhoscolyn Lifeboat) to present to Capt. Preston an illuminated address given by the coxswains and crews; while Mrs. Assheton- Smith handed to the popular captain a purse of gold on behalf of a number of old friends. Capt. Preston said that lifeboat work had to him been work of love—he had merely done I his duty and no more than any lady or gentle- man in that room would have done if similarly placed. He referred to the ladies because the women of Anglesey had in the olden times helped to launch the lifeboat -(hear, hear). If he were asked what he was really proud of be would sav that it was the crews of the Angle- sey boats ('c heers). He had never seen one of j the crews refusing duty (cheers). -Having re- ferred to the. fine practical work done by the Rev. O. Lloyd Williams, Llanrhyddlad, xn connection with life-saving, Cap. Preston ex- pressed his gratification that he was succeeded by Mr H. R. Davies, and that other gentle- men had taken the various lifeboat station? under their charge. Tlio proceedings concluded with thanks tc Mr H. R. Davies for undertaking the arrange- ments connected with the presentation.

ANGLESEY COUNTY COUNCIL
ANGLESEY COUNTY COUNCIL LIVELY CRITICISM. THE MINORITY AGAIN CONSPICUOUS. Yesterday (Thursday), at Llangefni Mr W. D. Jones, J.P., presiding. Present: Mi Wm.

Williams ^secretary of education). THE NEW RATE. DIFFERING OPINIONS. Mr J..N. Thomas proposed the adoption off the recommendation of the Finance Com- mittee, that a county rate of im the £ on the assessable value olf thie county be levied by four instalments. He also proposed that ap- plication be made to the Local Government Board for consent to borrow the amounts ex- pended on the Valley Police Court- and thle Amliwch Police Court. A sum of B1500 had been paid out of the current account in re- spect of these, and if the loan were obtained, it wouild mean a. substantial addition to the balance at the end of the year. Mr Hugh Thomas (IBeaumaris) considered that a 6d rate should only be- levied. There was a (probability of obtaining the J31500 loam, and the cost of maintaining the main roaxx between Menai Bridge and Beaumaris had been reducedi by £,210; and between Holyhead and Menai Bridge by JB150 durine: the past year. The election expenses ihad also been re- duced by £100. The original' estimate was 7^d. but this had been reduced by a. penny, and could still further be reduced by a half- penny. Alderman MoKillop urged, that it would be íbetteT to adopt a 6!d rate. He was rather surprised that Mr Hugh Tliomas should raise the question, which had been fully debated inj the Finance Committee, -with the result that they unanimously decided to levy a 6^d rate. If possible, the rate would be reduced next year. They knew from experience that an overdraiflt at the 'Bank would place them in a very awkward position. The loan of £1600 should have been obtained two years pre- viously, and if it were not sanctioned now a reduction in rate might land them ini diffi- culties. Caipt. Lawrence Williams argued' that if the County Council had a Uiarge bank balance they would have an incentive to useless expenditure. If they knew they Uiad to spend sparingly in order to keep within the estimate they would be more economical. Mr J. N. Thomas refuted this. People with balances at (tlue bank were not necessarily ex- travagant in private life, and 'the same rule applied to ipubllic bodies. All the economies had been considered in ,the estimate and the iiegotiating of t^a Joan might occupy a long time. Col. 'jlcyd proposed, and Capt. Lawrence Williams seconded, that the rate be 6.:t, but withdrew the motion on the understanding, suggested by the Clerk, tha.t if practicable the last installment of the rate be remitted. "A IPBIOTEST AGAINST EXTRAVA- GANCE." Alderman MoKillop submitted the report of the .Education Committee, which recom- mended that a rate of Is in the .£00 levied for elementary education, and lyd in the £ for education other than elementary. Mr Wm. Thomas, iAmlw,ch, proposed a. re- dmctaon to lOd as a protest against the extrava- gance of the Committee. The Council had sacrificed its powers to the Committee, with the exception of rate-levying, and) every use shtomid be made of their only opportunity for registering their opinion. It was proposed to spend a tremendous lot of money on school buildings, and it was a strange thin"- that. the Committee came to the Council after accept- ing contracts, with a request that their action be endorsed. A new school was to be built at Llanallgip at a 'cost of £ 1159.—a smail'l country school to accommodate 1'30 scholars. There must be a great deal of ornamental work there, for a useful school could .be built for seven or eight hundred pounds. Manv schools were overcrowded, and yet at JJanfair P.O. wihere there were two schools, it was nroposed to bund a .new one. His motion was to pro- test against the spending of this money in small country places. Col. LloYd seconded, and a large number of questions followed. During the discussion eight members rose to points of order. Mr Harry Clegg Iwished to know whether the new school at (Llanfaar P/G. 'would do away with the dual system now in operation there tHe was informed that it would not, and if this was so, 'it simply meant the erection 0If another Council School. Mr McKiLlop replied that it was hoped that it would replace both existing Schools. Capt. Lawrence Williams wished to know if iocal labour was to be employed in the erection cd a school im this district, but the question was not answered. Mr S. T. iChadiwj^jfc. asked if (County Coun- cillors would be allowed to see pilans of new schools and alterations in existing schools. Dr Thos. Jones replied in the ami-mative. As to the ILlanaHgo school, the old one was a disgrace to the county, and the new one was absolutely necessary. Mr McKillop, in reply, pointed out that the Elanaligo school iwas only costing about £9. per diead of child-ren. whereas the cost ramrod from .£9 to £14 in other parts of the country. Such a ,school yi a flourishing county would cost from sixteen to eighteen hundred pounds I he charge of extravagance Oughlt never to be hurled at the Education Committee, which had not a member who wouild wilfully waste a penny off the ratejpayers' money. They were erecting good and substantial actfools, not wasting anything on ornamentation (applause). Mr WIm. Thomas then said that as there were so many members of the. Education Com- ]n1Le present, he wouM not press his motion, wfuch rertain orf rejection. The Civ'i'itian Then the tiff is over, and we can proo-ed to the next biisinfes. rw, RAILWAY CONNECTION. On the motion of Mr J. N. Tliomas, it was ecided to petition the railway company to arrange a better connection between Llangetfna and Holyhead by the 4.35 train on Thursdays only, during the next summer months, than that in force last year. MENAI BRIDGE. It was decided to co-operate with the Beau- maris Council in asking H.M. Office of Works VPWVT^UC6 • °mni*>uses and like vehicles over the iMenai Suspension Bridae, ^i.

Alderman Lewis Hughes proposed: "That we apply to the Local Government Board to change the authority of the County Council to be a principal financial department and not subordinate to the Joint Police Committee." He pointed out that the important appoint- ments which should be in the hands of the Council—the appointment of their clerk for instance—were, made by the Police Committee, which had only twelve members of the Council upon it, and which also had the supervision of financial matters really affecting the County Council. J Mr W. S. Owen seconded, and this was car- ried unanimously. NEW COMMITTEE WANTED. Alderman Thomas Williams moved that a genera' purpose;, committee be. added to a list of committees of the County Council, to consist of seven members, with chairman and vfhe-chairman as, lex-officio members. The motion was with a view to facilitating the work of the Council, the proceedings of which were now needlessly protracted. Dr Thomas Jones seconded, with the proviso that it be composed of ex-chairmen of the 100uncil. Oapt. Lawrence Williams suggested that it consist of members of both political parties. The Chairman There are no Conservatives or Liberals here. Oapt. Lawrence Perhaps not. but, you know how the Education Committee was appointed. The matter was referred to a small committee to report on the proposed duties of the com- mittee. ANALYSIS OF FARM REQUISITES. Alderman R. L. Edwards proposed that the Council take the necessary steps to appoint an agricultural analyst and official sampler under the Fertilizers and Feeding Stuffs Act, 1906. As agriculturists they had no protection under the new Act against adulterated fer- tilizers and feeding stuffs. It cost them £ 38 a year for an inspector under the Foods and Drugs Act. to test whiskey, etc, but this was a. matter vitally affecting the prosperity of an agricultural county. Mr C. F. Priestley .said he .sank his appre- ciation of the suggestion as a farmer, in deference to the interest6 of the ratepayers. He, therefor, opposed the motion. Mr McKillop pointed out that it would only be paying money already spent under another name. As the proposer suggested, the analyst might be appointed from the University Col- lege of Bangor. and the sampler might be a local man. j Capt. 'Lawrence Williams protested against the increase of officials in Anglesey. On the suggestion of Mr J. N. Thomas, the matter was referred to the Fertilizers' Com- mittee. EXTENSION OF LOAN PERIODS. Alderman Lewis Hughes proposed that the Council strongly appeal to the )Board of Educa- ) tion to extend the time of the borrowing period { for school purpose from 30 to 50 or 60 years, as intended to be provided by the last Education Bill. This, he said, would lighten the present burden by 50 per cent. I Mr C. F. Priestley seconded, and this was oarried unanimously.
