I Proof Proved It is always well to make assurance doubly sure in any matter, iof -real importance. There is not anything more important than health, and it is gcod to have confirmation of any statement made about the merits of a medicine. The best confirmation in to know that a medicine gives lasting and not merely temporary. benefit; and here to-day is a striking piece of evidence to this effect from a Bangor woman. Over four years after the cure of her kidney trouble, lrs B. Wolfson, 57, Holy- head Road. Upper Bangor, said "Although it was so long ago that Doan's backache kidney pills did me so much good, I have not needed to take any more of them since; they are splendid pills, and I have recom- mended them to many." At the time of her cure, Mrs Wolfson. made the following statement: "For years I suffered from kidney trouble, but the last few months I have been much worse," she said. "The pains in my back were contin- ual; when I stooped, or bent over my work a pain like a knife-thrust went through my kidneys. I suffered very much with my head and was often so giddy that I had to take hold of something for support; there seemed to be black specks before my eyes. The doctor I consulted told me I was suffer- ing from kidney complaint, but neither his medicine nor others that I tried did me any good. "I am glad to say I have received great relief from Doan's backache kidney pills They helped me from the first, and gradually made me better than I had been for a long time. I can speak highly of the medicine." If you are suffering from Backache, Urin- ary Disorders, Rheumatism, Dropsy, Gravel, Neuralgia or any other kidney trouble, Doan's Backache Kidney Pills will cure you; they will cure your kidneys, the cause of your illness. If you neglect your kidneys you must suffer from painful and dangerous disease. The kidneys are the keys of health; keep them well, and you will be well. Above all things remember that delay is dangerous. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of all chemists and Stores, or post free, direct from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells-street, Oxford Street, London, W. Be sure you get exactly the same kind of pills that Mrs Wolfson had.

SCHOOL APPOINTMENTS NEW IUEJAn TEACHERS FOR LLAX- DUDNO JIUNCTIOX. When the question of the appointment of a headmaster for the Llandudno Junction Council School came up at Thursday morn- ing's meeting of the Carnarvonshire Educa- tion Committee, the Rev Ceidiog Roberts moved that the members should vote by secret ballot. Mr Ablanson Picton opposcd this pro- ceeding, and Mr J. T. Jones urged that the committee should vote openly, in order that the County Council, iby whom they had been appointed, might know the views taken by each member. "Some people were too shy or tco wea.k to ehow their princi- ples," added the speaker amid laughter. Mr Jones Roberts said that there had been a great deal of canvassing in connec- tion with this appointment, and for that reason he favoured the idea of the ballot. Mr Al)anson Picton The canvassing has been encouraged. The Rev W. W. Lloyd mentioned that on previous occasions he had received let- ters from successful applicants for appoint- ments thanking him for the way in which he had voted, and he did not like this. The Chairman put the question to the meeting) and it was decided by a large majority to vote openly. The committee's report stated that nine- ty-two applications had been received for the post. This number had been reduced to three, and the following gentlemen had ibeen requested to attend the meet ing of the committee: Mr W. Williams, Llangws- tenin Mr 'R. 0. Pritcha.rd, BTy-naerau, and Mr D. Lloyd Morris, Manchester. Alfter the "applicants had 'been intervie-wed the votinig was proceeded with, and resulted as follows —Williams, 7 Piritohard, 8 Morris, 8. A second vote resulted in ten votes ibeing obtained by Pritchard. and 13 by Morris. The latter was thereupon de- clared appointed. The committee then dealt with the ap- pointment of headmistress of the infant de- partment of the Llandudno Junction Coun- C'l School, and the sub-committee reported that out of twenty-two applicants the fol- lowing three had been chosen to appear be- fore the committee for the final selection: Mi-* S. A. Gray, Penfforddelen; Miss Mar- garet W Jones, CVfrifaes, and Miss M. C- Jones. Wrexham. The candidates were m- terviewed, and after some discu^ion, the members voted as follows: Miss- Gp:ay, 12. Iis Margaret Jones, 12; Miss M. C. Jones, 0 The Chairman gave his casting vote ir favour of Mies Margaret W. Jones, who was declared duly elected to the post.

LLANDUDNO BOWLING CLUB. Mr Shaw Thewliss presided over the an- nual meeting of the bowling club, on Thurs- day evening. Mr Thewliss moved the adoption of the Iv. report, which was carried unanimously. The Treasurer (Mr. J. E. Hornsbj) pre- sented his annual statement, showing that although the club commenced the year with a balance in hand of P,3 6s, it ended with a deficit of £ 3 3s lid. One item- in the statement showed that £ 14 9« 6d had been received in greenage, and, in repiV to Mr. D. W. Thomas, the Chairman said that represented nearly 6011 players. The number of visitors who had used the green was a most encouraging as- pect. There was no doubt but that the green was a great asset to the town (hear, Officers were then elected as follow —[Pre- sident, Right Hon. Lord Mostyn; vice-pre- sidents, Col. the Hon. H. Lloyd Mostyn; Messrs C. Eckersley, T. B. Farrmgton, T. P. Davies, W. Arnold, F. Richmond, T. Dutton, and Holden captain, Mr. D. Lewis (late member of the Rhyl Club) committee, Messrs. Shaw Thewliss, A. Hewitt, R T. Jones, Thomas Hughes, Thomas Foster, Ed- ward Owen, T. Hart, Clough, and S. Wil- liams.

Marks, Alfred Conolly (clerk and solici- ltor), Walter Wood (accountant), "ard (assistant engineer), Harold Morton (elec- trical engineer), Walter Shadbolt (gas mana- ger), and W. D. Longshaw (assistant clerk). ROAD WIDENING. The Assistant Engineer submitted a plan shewing the suggested widening of Nait,- gamar-road, which he estimated, if carried ouit in its entirety, woald cost £ 800; but '.[ with one footpath only, JB556. The mat- ter was deferred. THE HAPIPY VALLEY. The gardener was instructed to remove j n i overgrown elders in front of the lava tory and to plant -Euorymous shrubs in p-aee thereof. With reference to the piece ü land above the path leading up to the nursery, IJhe .gardener was instructed 10 level the upper part thereof, /plant shr-uhs, IPUi. the ground in good order, and make it accessible from the path by means of steps. INCANDESCENT BURNERS. A letter was read from Mr E. E. Bone suggesting that incandescent burners should ibe [provided for all lamps which are situated at the junction of two streets, 'r are in such a .position as to be opposite to a street turning at right angles to a str.-i-t to which a lamp is fixed. It was decicieo to consider the suggestion when the Water and Gas Committee meet to make their an- nual 'lamp inspection. APPLICATION FROM RURAL COUNCIL. A letter was read from the Clerk to the Conwav Rural Council asking if the Coun- cil would fix a larnp at the top of Penrhyn Hill as that noint is considered by the Pen- rhyn Parish Council to be dangerous on IC. count of the electric cans. A relport iat, submitted stating that it will Tequi-re 150 -vards of four-inch main and 460 yards of three-inch main along Brynyfbia and Bod- aton roads as far as Cliff Cottage, to sup- ply the houses en route. The cost was estimated at £ 328. The gross estimated income from householders along the route who hav, expressed their willingness to be- come consumers of -,as was estimated at £ 26. It was decided to carry out the work. The question of fixing a lamp at the Pen- ihyn Hill corner was deferred. GAS IN BULK. FOR With regard to a supply of gas to Mr Parr's souses on the Warren, it was de- cided to supply gas in bulk to the Conway Town Council through a main meter to be fixed at the south-west side of Bryniau- ¡roao, at a sum of 36 2d ;pei, 1000 cubic feet, meter rent to be charged for in addi- THE LIGHT RAILWAY OO. The Clerk was requested to write to the Light Railway Company to ask for the, de- cision of the company, with regard to elec- uic current within seven days. With regard to the draft- of the bye-laws dealing with the ove-rciowding of the light railway cars and other matters the clerk was asked to communicate with the Colwyn Bay Council with a view to a series of bye- laws applicable to both districts being agreed upon. ABATTOIRS' SUPERINTENDENT. The Water, Gas, and Electricity Commit- tee reported as follows:—The msistant en- gineer presented a nlan which he had pre (pared of a house to be erected on the south- west corner ott the abattoirs site as a resi- dence for the abattoirs superintendent and' caretaker. The cost of the building was estimaited at L390. It was decided to pre- paxe detailed plans and estimates. Mr McMaster referred to the fact that they, the Council, had spent JB6000 on the erection of the public abattoirs, and that they had paid out of the rates last year the sum of L91 to make up the deficit. He asked whether, in view of that fact, it was right that the Council should be asked to build a house in addition. The Chairman Excuse me, Mr McMas- ter. But do you understand that the super- intendent will pay rent for the house? Mr McMaster replied in the affirmative. Proceeding, the Speaker referred to the teems of the Mostyn Estate for the conver- sion of the 99 years' leases to 999 years. The Chairman asked whether Mr Mc- Master considered it right to anticipate the decision of the special committee to be held on the morrow (Thursday). Mr McMaster stated that he was not an- ticipating anything. The figures were pub lie property. Mr J. 0. Thomas It is a great shame- Mr McMaster: I know. nothing about it. I only want to show the real position ve are in. It was decided, on the motion of Mr J. 0. Thomas, seconded by Mr Hugh Edwards, to refer the matter back to the committee. THE WEST (SHORE. As requested, the West Shore Inspector submitted a report of the assistance given by him during the past summer to persons in danger of being Surrounded by the tide. The inspector suggested the advisability of placing another raft on the hank of the black ro-eksl the place being inaccessible by hoa.t. It was arranged to inspect the site before deciding upon the. matter. MR CHURCHILL'S SURETY. Mr Churchill's solicitor w.rote inquiring whetther with a view to dispensing with the question of Mr Churchill's providing an- other surety and saving further expense the Council would accept now next year's rent ( £ 250) and allow interest or rebate on the amount. lIt was decided to agree to the. propcsal and to allow Mr Churchill interest accord- ing to the Taite of interest allowed to t.3i« Council by the bank. THE FTAEE, LIBRARY. The Clerk iraad correspondence with Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson with re- ference to the suggestion that Mr Wi'iams should be paid C50 in settlement of all [ damages, and that the Council snould te permitted to carry out the erection :n ac- cordanoe with the original plan: a"stilt- ing that Mr Williams is advised that the extent ci the damage would not be less than £250. As an alternative, Mr John- eon had since jstaStedl .that Mr Williams was quite prepared to leave the qaestior. of amount to any expert that might be agreed upon. After discussion it was iecided to pro- ceed with the work in accordance with the plans as agreed upon by Mr Hartley and the Council's Architect. Library Committee r»~port3il having icoiifcirif red the steps to be taken to raise the sum of £ 400 required in addition to the sum of £ 600 which is available for the purpose of paying off the mortgage debt on the ex- isting building. It was decided to recom- mend the Council to make a temporary (transfer to a 6pecial suspense account of the sum of L400 from the profits of the gas -undertaking, such sum to be repaid to the undertaking out ox the proceeds olf the sale Of Glandinorwic Writing Slate Mill Pro- perty as soon as a sale can be effected. The Library and Reading Room Commit- tee offered to sell all books, furniture, and fittings, together with the Kenrick oollec- tion and all other curios, for £ 250. The offer was not entertained. ALLOTMENTS. The Allotments Subcommittee 'had con- sidered a'plan submitted by Mr Ward shew- ing, set out in plots of l-8th acre, the land opposite the Council's property in King's- xoad proposed to be let i'or allotment gar- dens. They decided that the plots should be marked out in plots of l-16th part of an acre, and that the tenants of the houses in King's-road should have the option of tak- ing one or more plots at a rental of 15s per plot, such rent to 'iiclude rates and taxes and to be payable monthly; the plots to be let on a six months' tenancy subje .t to the power of the Council to terminate the tenancy if a tenant neglects to keep his_plot in a, proper state of cultivation or gets in arrear for than one month with his rent. The Cleiik reported- that nine of the Council's tenants in King's-road were de- sirous of becoming, tenants, and one of the applicants wished, to take two; this would leave six plots still to be let. THE WATER, WORIKS. The Water, Gas, and Electricity Commit- xnittee recommended that the Council reduce the price for water supplied to all con- sumers through meter from Is 6d to Is 3d per 1000 gallons. Mr D. Davies proposed that the matter be referred back to the committee t«.r further reconsideration. He did not object to granting the concession of Is 3d per 1000 gallons to' hydros and other large es- tablishments obtaining water by meter, but he did object to letting water run at ran- dom. It was proposed to allow 30 gallons per head per day- and, he presumed, that an average twould he taken of the visitors staying at the hydros. But it would all be mere guesswork. Besides, he could not see how the committee could recommend a re- I duction in the price, when the water con- cern did not pay, and that it took L1200 from the gasworks revenue to make up last duction in the price, when the water con- cern did not pay, and that it took £ 1200 from the gasworks revenue to make up last year's deficit. Mr R. Roberts seconded. Until the committee was in a position to say that the j water concern was paying, the Council cou!d not be reasonably expected to reduce the price. Mr E. E. Bone said that as a business policy it was a very good movement. Mr McMaster believed that the two sys- tems would work together, and that, even- tually, the Council would be able to re- coup the loss which the concern made at present. Mr Wm. Thomas would like to have the matter referred back because he believed that it had not received the consideration it deserved. Mr T. W. Griffith observed that people would use water for other than domestic purposes through meters more freely onco the price was reduced. One shilling and threepence was a very high price. In Man- chester it was only Is per 1000 gallons, and there was a town in Carnarvonshire where only sixpence per 1000 gallons was paid. The ,recommetndation of the committee was carried by a large majority. YAW WORK3DEX ARE TREATED. The Water and 'Gas Committee had under consideration an application by the asphalt foreman for eight days holidays on full pay. The committee decided that as the foreman receives overtime pay, and does not, as in the case of the gasworks men, work seven days a week, they -could not .recommend the Council to grant the request. A letter was read from Mr H. F. Jones asking ithe Woiks Committee to consider the question df payment to the widow oif the late Mr Edward Williams, foreman, ot wages during her husband's illness. The Clerk was requested to write TO Mrs Williams expressing the committee's sympathy -with her in her bereavement, and to say that tiie I eci- nkittee regret that having regard to the resolution standing on the books with re- ference to the payment of wages to work- men during illness, they are unable t-1 deii with the application. NEW ROAD TO THE CEMETERY. Amended plans of the proposed new road to the cemetery from the Marine Drive were submitted, and it was decided that 1 the agreement with the churchwardens be sealed. Mr Humphreys wrote to state that he felt certain that Lord Mostyn would also ap- prove of the scheme, but he was too far away at present to do so now. 1 It was decided to proceed with the work forthwith, and on the motion of Mr T. W. Griffith, the Clerk was authorised to apply to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow C2550 to defray the ex- penditure. Mr Hugh Edwards: Have we sufficient people out of work in Llandudno to put on the job, or must we advertise for men? The Chairman: Unfortunately, we have more than sufficient at Llandudno. The Assistant Engineer stated that the estimated expeiidit&'e of the amended route would show a savirj of about £ 200 -besides the additional improvements it would en- tail. He hoped to put the work in hand on Monday (hear, hear).

I RHOS PIER DISPUTE I ACTION tEN THE AiPfFElAL OOURiT: I JTUDGNIFLNT. The Court of Appeal on Wednesday had under consideration the plaintiffs' appeal and the defendants' cross-appeal from a judgment of Mr Justice Neville in the ac- tion of the Liverpool and North Whales Steamship Company v. the Mersey Trading Company. The plaintiff company claimed, to be entitled to the use of the Rhos Pier at Oolwyn Bay, of which, at the date of the writ, one of the de-fendants (Mr Hlorton) was the owner, and the other defendants the lessees. By a Provisional Order, con- firmed1 by Act of Pari lament, the Colwyn iBay Pier Company were authorised to con- ptrudt a pier from the shore into the sea within certain limits, and to charge certain tolls for the use of the, pier, upon the certi- ficate of the Board of Trade that all con- sents: required on the part of the Board off Trade under the order or otherwise neces- sary to the due construction of the pier bad (been given and no vessel was to be moored or anchored alongside, or within 100 yards of the pier. without the consent of the com- pany. The Pier Company had refused to allow the Steamship Company's steamers to come alongside the pier, except upon pay- ment of a fixed rental of P,450 for the ,sea- I son. The Stteaimship Company paid the sum for a few days under protest, and then (brought an action to restrain the Pier Com- pany (from excluding their steamers from the pier and to recover the sums paid under protest. The Master of the Rolls said that on the main point he thought the decision of Mr Justice Neville was right. He regarded this pier not as, an authorised pier, the pos- session of which entitled the possessor to the privileges, rights, and immunities con- ferred by the Provisional Order; and, that being so, the plaintiffs, wihose case depended upon this being a public pier possessing the rights to which he had referred, wholly failed, and_this part of the appeal must be dismissed with costs.. At the suggestion of their lordships, it was arranged that the North Wales Steam- ship Company, Limited, should pay to the Mersey Trading Ocxmjpany £7 due to it in resipect of passenger tolls due and unpaid, and the portion df the appeal relating to mooring charges was not proceeded with.

The Denbigh County Council is to be congratulated upon the magnificent new Court-house they have had erected at Col- wyn Bay. The building reflects credit on the county authority, and is an additional adornment to the town. Spacious and roomy, it provides ample accommodation for the magistratfes to perform their judicial duties without being unnecessarily inconvenienced, while, on the other hand, due attention has been paid to the interests of solicitors, jour- nalists, witnesses, juries, eto., as well as the general public.

COWLYD WATER PUZZLING .STATE OF THINGS AT LLYSFA'EN. Mr Joseph Dicken, J.P., Colwyn Bay, presided at Friday's meeting of the Cowiyd J Water Board. The Engineer reported that the rainfall for the month of October was 2.80 inches, I against 11.50 inches in the corresponding II month of 1907, being a decrease of 8.70 inches. The rainfall to the end of the month was 56.34, against 52.30 inches for the same period of last year, being an increase of 4.04 inches. Owing to good weather co,t ditions satisfactory progress has been made with the laying of the duplicate line of 15 inch mains under the river Conway. With regard to the Llysfaen Water Supply, the Engineer reported that taking the pumps as being capable of lifting at a minimum 5,000 gallons per hour, this would represent on the increase of pumping hours a total of 131,000 gallons per week over the average when the reflux valve was fixGa at Voryn Isaf. This 135,000 gallons per week represented a daily water supply for 950 people at 20 gallons per head per day, and as there were only 20 houses brought into the area by taking out the reflux valve and which would only mean a supply required for 100 people, this at 20 gallons per head per day, would amount to 2,000 gallons per day, or 14,000 gallons per week. Although he had carried out -close inspections and had had excavations carried out on mains lead- ing into iCblwyn Bay, he had not been able to find out the cause at that time of the enormous increase in the amount of water pumped, a difference of 121,000 gallons per week. Mr J. W. Raynes maintained that they were not wasting water in the Llysfaen ris- trict. The report was adopted.

Food MAKES, Strength People who feel tired, langnid, feeble, unstrung, nervous, infirm, ill and unhappy, need one (thing to make them strong, vigorous, and comfOrtaJble again, viz., Food. Food will do this when drugs and medi- cines have 'failed entirely. After it is digested it will do it, not before. This tired, languid' feeling off people who do not digest their food is" not the healthy tired- ness (brought about by hard work. It is more or less a paxa-lysis of the nerve and other organs caused by the poison in the blood, created by undigested food. Wihen your stomach is so deranged that it cannot digest rfood, Mother Seigel's RyrUtp will tone it up and help it to do its work. It will also ipurify the blood from the poison calused by undigested food and prevent- the formation of any more such poison. Thousands of people every year are made well and strong, cured of indigestion and etomach and liver disorders by Mother Seigel's Syrup. Why not you? Read the testimony of Mr William Simpson, ex- champion walker olf the world, who lives at 50, Farringdon Place, -Southend -on- Se a. Ota. July 11th, 1908-, Mr Simpson caid- "I am not yet quite 43, and for the greater part of my life have been healthful and vigorous, as any .various walking feats prove. But- a year ago I fell ill. The trouble was .indigestion. Aftter gating I would have violent pains at the chest, and was siÍdk: and unfit for exertion. I tried various medicines, but the only one to re- lieve me was Mother Seigel's Syrup. Three btottles of ythaJt remedy effectually cured me, and II have been quite well from that day to this." Medicines which merely relieve for the moment never cure. That is why so many fail where Mother iSeigel's Syrup so surely cures. This great remedy acts on the stomach, not on its contents, and cures by restoring natural action to that enfeebled, orgatu

Mother Seigel's Syrup is also prepared in Tablet form, as Mother Seigel's Syrup Tablets. 'Price 2s 9d.

MOTORIST FINED C5 AND COSTS DRIVING TO THE PUJiLIC DANGER AT LLANIDUDNO. At Llandudno, on Monday, before Henry Kneeshaw, Esq., and other justices, Harold iP. Fraser, Hill Crest, Little Orme, was summoned for having, on the 29th of Octo- ber, driven his motor car in Mostyn-street to the danger of the public. Mr J. J. Marks appeared to prosecute, on behalf of the police, while Mr. R. S. Chamberlain ap- peared for the defence. Mr. Marks said that about 4.25 p.m. on October 29th, P.C. Williams saw a motor car proceeding diown Mostyn-street at a speed which he estimated between 23 and 25 miles an hour. There were two cross streets which the defendant had to pass, and he did no)t sound his hooter. Subsequently, P.C. Williams proceeded to Hill Crest, and informed Mr. Frazer what he had seen, but the latter denied that he was driving to the danger of the public. The officer asked de- fendant for his license, and it was handed to him, but the defendant snatched it away from his hands. )P.C. John Williams having corroborated', was cross-examined by Mr. Chamberlain. He said there were hundreds of people in lower Mostyn-street at the time. Mir. Chamberlain1: What, hundreds of people in the street at the end of October ?— Yes. How many hundreds?—About 200 or 300 The motor car was going at a speed between 23 and 25 miles an hour. It covered 250 yards in 22 seconds. John Lunt, town porter, estimated the speed at between 25 and 30 miles an hour, and declared that the care was driven at a speed dangerous to the public. Cross-examined There might be 50 or 150 people about at the time but he did not see any other conveyances on the high- way. P.O. Evans deposed that the car was going at a speed which was over 20 miles an hour.. Cross-examined The parapet was pretty full of people, but he did not remember that there were many people in the streets. Mr. R. S. Chamberlain said that if they were guilty of any offence at all, it must be exceeding the speed limit. There was not a tittle of evidence to prove that they were driving to the danger of the public, .and he would prove that they were not exceeding speed limit. The defendant stated that he was not driving at a higher speed than between seven or eight miles an hour, and Mr. Lqxton, who was in the car at the time, corrobor- ated. A. M. Flash declared that the speed of the car was not great when it passed his shop. There were very few people about. A fine of L5 and costs was imposed.

Dr Travis (medical officer of health) has applied to the Llandudno Council for the free use of two rooms in the Town Hall for an office and laboratory, but the Health Committee has deferred consideration of the matter.

THE "HERALD" SCORES PUBLIC "IN THE KOW" BEFORE COUNCILLORS. Last week Glyndwr dealt with the proposed terms of the Mostyn Estate for the conversion of the 99 years' leases held by the Llandudno Council to 999 years. The terms created quite a sensation in lh t,we, and individual councillors wert catechised by their constituents with regard to their. However, most of them were ignorant of the terms, and certainly were at a loss to know the source of our information. At a meetiing of the Liandudno Urban Council on Wednesday, Mr. W. Henry Jones presiding, Mr P. Jones inquired how it was that the members of the Council as a boidy were not informed of the figures relating to the offer of the, Mostyn Esiate to convert the leases held by the Council into leases for 999 year terms. The information was known to the Finance Committee. A Member The figures were in the "Her- ald last week. Mr. Pierce Jones I do not think that is very satisfactory. I think the Council ought to deal with the committee in a fair way. Tot give the figures to the press, and leave the Council outside, was not right. They have been given by the accountant, and not by the Mostyn Estate, so that it seems that the Finance Committee are more liberal to the press than they are to the members of the Council'. Mr. T. W. Griffith These figures never appeared in the press, to my knowledge. They were not supplied to the press by any member of the Finance Committee. Mr. E. Eo. BQne: The statement referred to is an analytical statement of the terms, and the corresponding effect of them, with a view to assist the committee to form a judg- ment when they meet for that purpose. The Chairman: There is no objection so far as I can see, to the figures being sent to every member of the Council; but the mat- ter will be discussed by the committee in the usual course. Mr. F. J. Sarson It may be a sentimental grievance, but I think that the Council as a whole should be considered as of equal importance with any local newspaper, and should at least have confidential information sent to them at the same time. The Chairman I am sorry to say that a goqd many things which ought not to go to the press are giVen to the press by some members of the Council. A Voice: Do you know him? The Chairman: What is wanted to be kept from the Council is divulged to the press. I am sorry to say it so plainly, but that ife the fact. A Councillor: Then Mr. Pierce Jones' complaint is not against the committee, but against some members of the Council. Mr. J. McMaster I cannot answer any- thing as to this, because I haven't any knowledge of it. It appears to me that this is one of those cases of physician heal thy- self. The report is to be made to-morrow,. and after to-morrow it will go to every member of the Council. Professor Beaumont: I think this is easy eno.ugh. Mr. Chairman. The Editor of the Herald" is known as a thought-reader (laughter).

ILL LIGHTED STREETS, Mr F. J. Sarson called attention to ill lighted streets in the vicinity of Dyffryn Road School, and also of portions of the Orme. The Chairman said the committee were going round the town on Friday, and the matter would have consideration. AN EFFICIENT ACCOUNTANT. Mr James McMaster, referring to the auditor's report, complimented Mr Walter Wood (the accountant) upon it, and added that they had in Mr Wood a most efficient official. Other councillors agreed. EXTENSION CONCERTS. The application of Mr W. T. Brockle- hurst for the free use of the Assembly Room of the Town Hall to hold a public meeting in furtherance of extension concerts was enthusiastically acceded to. UNEMPLOYED OVERTIME. A resolution received from the Rate- payers' Association suggesting the advisa- bility of restricting overtime, so as to find work for more men. As a matter of courtesy the Association asked for the amount of overtime worked during the past twelve months. Mr Hugh Edwards proposed that the matter be referred to the Finance Commit- tee. Mr McMaster, as an amendment, moved that the Ratepayers' Association be autho- rised to send their own officials to go through the books. | The motion was carried. Mr McMaster (who is chairman of the Finance Committee) I iwon't waste a minute of my time over it. NORTH WALES COLLEGE. The Chairman was appointed governor of the University College of North Wales. Mr Marks said that the Council did not realise the importance of election of repro- sentatives of that character. He would like, if it was possible, to elect a suitable man for about three years, so that he might be able to attend the meetings. His exper- ience of the Court of Governors was that the academical class had full control of the work. He hoped that the Council at the end of the present appointment, would elect a man who would make the voioe of Llandudno heard (hear, hear). A MYSTERY CLEARED UP. Mr W. O. Williams: I see a lot of sur- veyors about the streets doing some sur- veying work. What is their object? Mr T. W. Griffith I heard that the :T1- tention is to apply for Parliamentary powers to construct a tramroad iibund the Great Orme. j The Electrical Engineer I am responsible for a part of it. I had the assistance cf an engineer with regard to the making of a tramroad round the Orme, and all the particulars taken have been handed to me for the disposal of the Council. Mr W. 0. Williams: '£tut has Mr Morton received any instructions from the Council? The Chairman: No. He iwas doing it for his own information. Mr D. Davies: Who will own the infor (mation? Is it the Council, or will it be sold to the highest bidder? Mr McMaster Is it true that the survey has been made by a surveyor on the staff r of Messrs Bruce Peebles and Co., and with the consent of Mr Morton, with the view of enabling him to formulate a scheme for that Council in case the Light Railway Company gave them notice to discontinue taking current. Mr F. J. Sarson maintained that the Council was entitled to all the information available. The Electrical Engineer said that he had the scheme in his mind for a considerable time. All the information Would be handed j to the Council with a view of having a tramway round the Orme. ( The matter then dropped.
