COLWYN BAY COUNCIL SCHEME FOR ADVERTISING THE TOWN. A LOW DEATH-RATE. The monthly meeting of the Colwyn Bay Council fwas neld on Tuesday, when there were present Mr D. 0'. Williams (chair- man), Messrs George Bevan, William Da- vics, H. Bliss-Hill, 'E. H. Davies, Jos. Dicken, John Williams, Hugh Hughes, D. Gamble Hugh Evans, Thos. Hoskins, W. Horton, Edward Allen, Rev William Hughes, Hammersley Heenan, T. H. Mor- gan, John Jonas, Hugh Davies, Dr Venables Williams (M.O.H.), Mr James Amphlatt (clerk and solicit-or), Mr Jos, JJ, Roberts (deputy clerk), Mr William JJcnep, C.E. (surveyor), Mr J. Lewis Jones (collector) and Mr W. H. Jones (sanitary inspector). WATER MAIN BURSTS. The Surveyor in his report to the Sanitary 4Ckunmittee stated that the supply to the district had been fairly good, and since the new trunk main had been brought into use an increase in the pressure during the day- time of over 501bs. had taken place which gave every con&ximer a supply of water throughout the day. The pressure regis- tered during the day ranged between lOOlbs. and llOlbs., it rose one evening to a maximum of 1601bs. The trunk main burst on three occasions. Mr E. Allen inquired the reason for a -very inopportune shortage of water on the previous (Easter-Monday) morning. He said that the town was well filled w-ith visi- tors, and the water supply throughout the district was quite stopped until nearly mid- day. That was a very serious matter. The Surveyor explained that one of the new 15in. pipes burst near Dolgarrog, and it took some time to get the water through the o'd main. Mr J. Dicken (chairman of the Cowlyd Board) said that the members of the Board would fully investigate the cause of the de- lay. There was not much delay, he felt sure, but matters of that sort could not be dealt with in five minutes HIGHER WAGES ASKED FOR. Aji application for increase of wages from the water inspector (Mr James Andrew) was not entertained HOSPITAL MATRON. A letter was submitted from the Matron (Mrs H. Thompson) as to payment of com- pensation from the Council. It was resolved that the application be not entertained.

SURFACE WATER AT COLWYN. The Surveyor reported that on March 23 Messrs J. Williams, J. Jones, H. Hughes, W. Davies, T. Hoskins, and D. O. Williams, met the deputation appointed by the Con- way Rural Council on the .ground, to con- sider the proposal of this Council to lay a surface water sewer along Abergele Road I (Cambria Road to Wesleyan Chapet) and a branch up Rhuallt Road. The plans and sections had been inspected by the deputa- tion, and it twas agreed that a copy of the plans and estimate be prepared and for- warded to the Rural Council, accompanied by an application from this Council for a definite contribution towards the cost of the works. It was decided that in forwarding the above, application be made for a contribu- tion of £137, or one-third of the outlay. DIVERSION OF BROOKS. Instruction was given to the Surveyor to report on any instance coming under l is notice of etreams or brooks being diverted in the development of property within the district. ABERGELE ROAD WIDENING. The Surveyor reported that by request he had met the committee of Cheadle Royal, the present owners of the Glanydon pro- perty, and was accompanied by the Chair- man of the Council. It appeared the com- mittee were 'willing to consider any offer from the Council for acquiring land for road widening. The extent of land required under the present scheme was 1183 square yards. It was resolved that the matter stand over for the present. SEA VIEW TERRACE. With regard to the formation of a foot- path along the boundary of the L. and N.-W. R. Goods Depot, the Surveyor re- ported that no difficulty presented itself to I the widening of this road to a uniform width of 36ft the area. of land required to carry I out this improvement being 530 sq. yards; estimated cost JE146, excluding land. Oonsideilaftion was held over until the next meeting. I PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT. It was resolved for the present to drop the echeme suggested by the Surveyor for cer- I tain aged employees of the Council to be put on part-time work. APPROACHES TO THE DINGLE. Letters were read from Mr George Gyte, of Bolton, notifying the Council that he had met iw'ith an accident in going into the Dingle near Plasycoed, as the path was so I «teep and slippery. A letter was also read from Dr Crauford Matthews calling serious attention to the dangerous state of the Dath leading from the East Parade, as several I mishaps had. taken place there. The Surveyor was instructed to bring jn an estimate on the piovision of a handrail in the places mentioned. DAMAGE AND THEFT. j Attention was called to the wilful damage now so prevalent on the Promenade. Panes of glass had been broken in the shelters, and j an automatic liock of the gent's lavatory had been forced off and carried away. An automatic lock in another place had also been forcibly removed, and no trace of the same or of the offender could be found. The Surveyor was instructed to issue special instructions to the promenade inspec- tors in these matters, and to cause a new lock to be fixed in the gents' lavatory. FORESHORE LETTINGS. An application iwas received from the Sweetmeat Automatic Delivery Company, proposing a renewal of the contract for privilege of placing automatic machines on the promenades, and that the rent be ro- duced to F-50 per annum in future (present rental, .£100). I It was decided that the offer of the com- pany be not accepted. CARTAGE OF COKE, &c. Five tenders were received and opened for the cartage of coke from the gasworks to various points within the district. A let- ter was also read from Mr Robert Jackson, returning the form of tender unfilled with a protest against the method adopted-main- taining that it was consumers who should make their own terms for the cartage. It was resolved that the contract be let to Mr W. Jones, Euryn Stablet), Rhos, at Is 7d and upwards per load (lowest tender). Seven tenders were opened for the delivery of 1500 tons of coke to the electricity works during the year, and it was resolved that the lowest tender by Mr W. Jones, Euryn Stables, FJios, at Is 7d per ton be accepted. ENGINEERS COMMISSION. Communications had been received from Mr Baldwin Latham. C.E.. declining the Council's contention that a deduction should be made in the account delivered for cjm- mission due in connection with the new sewerage works. A letter had also been re- ceived from Mr Robert Green. C.E., explain- ing the items the Council proposed to dis- allow in the statement of charges rendered, and concluding w,ith an offer to accept £262 j 10s :n full settlement. It was decided that LI-41 3s 3d due to Mr Latham be paid, and that the offer made by Mr Green to accept P,262 10s be paid in full satisfaction of all claims. LOW DEATH-RATE. The annual report of the medical officer was submitted, in the course of which lie said that the new sewerage echeme had, after an extensive trial1, proved to be beyond doubt one of the best ever devised for deal- ing with the sewage of seashore towns. The bay was now devoid of all suspicion of pol- lution, and formed one of the finest bathing grounds in the country. The birth-rate during 1908 was 14.4 per thousand, and the death-rate 10.4, or, al!ow- ing for the deaths of persons described as visitors, 7.9. That was the lowest death- rate recorded since the formation of the urban district in 1'887 Mr G. Bevan congratulated Dr Venables- Williamr, upon having such a favourable re- port to present in the first year of his ap- pointment. ADVERTISING COLWYN BAY. ed The Clerk (Mr J. Amphlett) reported up- on the conference of representatives of North Wales Iocall auttiot.,ities recently leld at Colwyn Bay, with a view to providing pano-I ramie illustrations of the coast in the Ex- hibition at Shepherd's Bush this year. Mr E. H. Davies remarked that before the L. and N.-W. R. Company made an ap- peal to Colwyn Bay to subscribe for this purpose it would be .well for the railway company to improve the appearance of the entrance to Coifwyn Day from the railway station by removing the railway trucks from the siding in front of the Imperial Hotel. Mr W. Davies said he was glad the rail- way company were arousing themselves to do something on behalf of North Wales. It was evident that up to the present they had not catered for the holiday public in the way that other railway companies had done. Mr D. Gambia said that ho understood from Mr Warner that the N.-W. Company meant to advertise North Wales in a man- ner that twould bring the locality promi- nently before every individual in the king- dam. Evidently an extraordinary method of advertising was in contemplation, but exactly what it was Mr Warner said he was not at liberty to explain. The Chairman was asked to call a public meeting to raise funds to provide for a ^ano- ramie picture of Colwyn Bay at. the Exhibi- tion. COUNTY (COURT SITTINGS. Mr E. H. Davies inquired what was being done with regard to the holding of County Court sittings at Colwyn Bay, and Mr Am- phlett explained that the only obstacle now seemed to be the Treasury, which had not made provision for the expense. The Coun- ty Council had agreed to the u.se of the new sessions house, one of the most commodious courthouses in North Wales, subject to a payment, to cover the cost of cleaning, light- ing, etc. It was decided to request the Cterk to press for an early establishment of County Court sittings at Colwyn Bay, l- ternately with Llandudno and Conway. ELECTION ECHOS. Mr G. Bevan moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his services. The proposi- tion was seconded and supported by the members who were not successful at the poll, and was made the occasion for a lively discission of election points and grievances. Mr J. Jones complained that a local paper had marked him out a fortnight before the election as an unsuccessful candidate. Mr Bliss Hill said that during the 18 months he had been on the Council I10 had done his duty to the ratepayers, and had no private axe to grind. Mr John Williams said that during the six and a half years be had been a member of the Council he had not been a sleeping part- ner, as the positions he had held (including ) that of the chair) had shown.

Lung Diseases Their Rapid and Permanent Cure by VENO'S LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. No class of diseases are mere dangerous and fatal to human life than those affecting the respiratory organs. It is frankly ad- mitted by medical men thai the majority of consumptives would never have been con- sumptive at all had the causes leading up to the appearance of the fatal microbe been sensibly treated in the first instance, and as only a small percentage of consumption is hereditary, iti follows that a large per- centage is caused by neglected or wrongly treated cases of common colds, coughs, broil- chitis, and other chesi; troubles. To entirely avoid or thoroughly cure ailments such as these, and so avoid all risk of consumption and other dangerous lung diseases, a really safe and reliable medicine is necessary, and such a one is Verio's Lightning Cough Cure, a remedy of unique composition and as diff- j erent as it is superior to all others, and one; that has received the approbation and re- commendation of doctors, clergymen, scientists, chemists, and people of position everywhere. Veno's Lightning Cough Cure is free from I all dangerous drugs, and is a certain cure for all diseases of chest, throat and lungs. I Price 9d, Is lid and 2s 9d, of all chemists.

VALLEY RURAL COUNCIL | A NOVEL PROPOSAL. | THE PORTHYirCST DISPUTE. I The ord nary meeting of the Valley Rural Council was held on Tuesday, Mr Rice Row. lands, J.P., in the chair. A NOVEL [PROPOSAL. Mr 0. G. Owen attended before the Coun- ciland referred to an arrangement whjohhlld been mMiein connect. Oll with the road. He contended that he had done wliat had been required of him, but oOwing to the work hav. ing been delayed the matter was taken to the ASZÐ8. Mr. W/iam Jones: The Council would meet him. He appealed to the Counc 1 to meet him in the matter 0.1 the costs of the recent action by having the amount, the total being over -020,0, and allow h m twelve months within which to pay his quota. The Chairman ct, d not think the Council j had any right to make such an arrangement. Mr 0. R. Fouikes agreed, stating that the order of the Jiadige had to be obeyed. The better plan wou-d be for Mr Owen to get the costs taxed as low as possible. Mr J. N. Thomas thought Mr Owen should at once do away wiith the encroachment. He I, wcUid to meet Mr Owen, but he thought the aua'Vor would surcharge the amount. In reply to the C-erk, Mr Owen sa-cd he had been advised 'by his solicitors to come before the Council that day. Mr J. N. Thomas and Mr Fouikes thought they m.-glit appy to the. Local Government Board for permission to make a grnnt to Mr. Owen. The Clerk .suggested that the matter be deferred pending the taxation of the costs, and this was adopted. I ALLEGED ENCROACHMENT AT I GAR DDFADOG. A report of a committee, consisting of Messrs Rice Rowlands (oha.<rman), Edw. R. Humhes, and W. R. Jones, in reference to the I above, was submitted. The committee. had found that a large strip of land on the road. de, about 400 square yards in area, had been enclosed recant, y by -on of a low watl and WITe fence, a small portion of which had apparently only been enclosed wilthin the liast few months. The committee were of opinion that the enr-iosure in question is an encroachment upon the highways, but that I before the Council takes any steps for the removal thereof, evidence should be obta-ined of some acts of usir to rebutt the legal pre-, sumption that it belongs to the atdjoi 'n'ng owner. The Chairman said the difficulty was that Lord Stanley's agent had some t me ago mea- sured the land, and he, (t'he Chairman) said that Lord Stanley did not own it. Mr. Fouikes suggested that lr. T. G. Owen ('Lord Stanley's agent) be. communi- cated Wi tth, and this course was suggested, the report being adopted. PORTHYPOST ENCROACHMENT AND FOOTPATH. At the last meeting of the Countca, :Mr. Robert Jones, Perth ygest, attended and ex- pressed his willingness to restore the two sties on the Ponthypost footpath, and to comply iin every respect with the terms of the report of the spesvij committee of inquiry. He a'-ao informed t-hie Oounc;1 that he wqs about to negotiate with Mr. Heenan with a vJ2-W to purchasing land from him to add to the road instead of the land he had taken, I and if that gentleman declined to sell the land he would pu, i1 down the wall already built by hiim on the roads.de. A committee had be?n appointed to me?t A committee had been appointed to met Mr. Jones on the -pot, with a v< ew to coming to ;an amicable settlement, the members ot which were the meirn-beirs of the Section Committee, No. 5, of the Sipeo al Committee of Inquiry. This committee now presented its report, which indicated that M. Jones I had built the wall', thereby enclosing the roadside, :'ifc be! n g built practically on the edge of the road. Mr Jones denied having undertaken to pull down the wall, and stated that he had not approached Mr. Heenan with a view of purchasing the land. He ulti- mlately said that he wa.s prepared to pull the wall down and build it within three fleet of his fend abutting the road, wihiteh he olla'ans as his own. The committee were of I opinion that immediate steps should be taken against Mr Robert Jones for encroaching on the roadside w-aste, and he was linfortrnOO tnat I thiis would be the recommendation of the committee to the Councd. PORTHYPOST DISPUTE. The Council sat until a late hour, and de- cided that proceedings should be taken against Mr Robert Jones, of Porthypost, in the matters given above.

NURSING ASSOCIATIONS. The Clerk read a letter from the Rev W. A. Edwards, rector of Aberffraw, stating that the Aberffraw Nursing Association were prepared -to accede to the request pf the (Board, and accepted wlih. thanks their offer of ,a dosnaitiom of £ 10.—It was decided that Mr W.

BANGOR POLICE COURT SMALL FINES FOR DRUNKENNESS. At this court, on Tuesday, before Mr. Wrm. Pugheb and other magistrates, J. H. Owen, ship carpenter, Bangor, against whom there were recorded several previous convict ons for vagrancy, was SEIllt to gaol for a month for begging.

He pleaded giri-ty, but wished to explain that he had been a total aihsta ner from dr, nk for the last six months." Then he got a drop of port wine. which upset him. He had since again signed the pledge, and ^intended to do hi's best to keep it. Supt. Guest said defendant had been fined at Conway last November for drunkenness on licensed premises, and was summoned to app?ar at the next Conway Court on a charge ;c of drunkenness. He was fined 5s and costs. Jane Owen, Meraai Bridge, for having been drunk in Hfgh-street, Bangor, lying helpless on the ground, was fined 2s 6d and costs David Hgh, Bangor, a youth of 23, admitted a charge of staggering drunkenness preferred against him, and was fined 2s 6d and costs, Mr Harry Clegg remarking that it was disgraceful for a young man like hitm to ibe brought be*e the. Bench, on such a charge, and he hoped lie felt his position. Jane Thomas, a decent-looking elderly wo- man from Glanadda, Bangor, was charged with beggmg. P.O. Robert (55) stated that defendant had frequently been seen beggjing, and that her son. a boy about 12, who wa<s also frequently charged with the some offence aways said she sent him out to beg. The case was adjourned for a month, defendant beqng warned that if during that period she was agauzl caught begging she would be punished for both offences. Owen Jones.

Passing of Oatmeal MAKES WAY FOR THE BETTER FOOD OF A BETTER DAY. "Oatmeal porridge is no longer used for breakfast in my home," writes a bright woman. This was an admission of no small significance to one "brought up" on the time-honoured stand-by. "One month ago," she continues, "I bought a packet of Grape-Nuts food for my husband, who had been an invalid for over a year. He had passed through a severe at- tack of pneumonia and influenza combined, and was left in a very bad condition when they parsed away. "I tried everything, but nothing seemed to dQ>him any good. Month foLtuwed month, and he still remained as weak as ever. I was almost discouraged when I got the Grape-Nuts, but the results have compen- sated me for my anxiety. "In the one month that he has eaten Grape-Nuts he has gained 10 pounds in weight, his strength is rapidly returning to him, and he feels like a new man. Now we all eat Grape-Nuts food, and are the better for it. Our little five-year-o'd boy, who used to suffer from pains in the stomach after eating the old-fashioned porridge, has no mOire trouble since he began to use Grape- Nuts, and I have no more doctor's bills to pay for him. "We use Grape Nuts with hot milk, and find it the most tasty dish in our bill of f are. "Last Monday I ate four tablespoonfuls of Grape-Nuts and cream for breakfast, no- thing else, then set to work;, and got my miraifig's iwork done by nine o'clock, ;nd felt less tired, much stronger, than if I had made my breakfast on bacon, etc., as I used to. I wouldn't be without Grape-Nuts m the house for any money." Name given by Grape-Nuts Co., Ltd., 66, Shoe Lane, Lon- don, E.C. There's a reason. Ever read the above leacr?

LAHCENY AS BAILEE FIRST BANGOR CASE UNDER THE CHILDREN ACT. At the Bangor Police Court, on Tuesday, before Mr William Pughe and other magis- trates, at the close of the ordinary business, the Blench ordered tihe Court to be cleared, in order to deal with a charge of larceny as bailee preferred against Wifliam O. Hughes, thirteen and a half years of age, Bangor, by John Eames, of Rosemary-lane, Beaumaris. Mr Harry Clegg, a magistrate, explained that as this iwas the first case which had come before them of this kind since the Children Act had come into force they had ordered the Courb to be cleared. The Bench, however, intended to hold a meeting to take into consideration various provision-s of that Act, and to make various regulations for the future trial of such cases. John Eames said that on the 8th inst. he went into a refreshment house in Bangor for tea. He tendered half a sovereign in payment, but as the (caterers oould rot change it he went out, and saw defendant, and asked him to go and get the (loin changed. The boy went away and did not return, and he informed the police. Police Constable Williams said that when he arrested and charged the defendant the boy admitted the theft, and said he had been to Llangefni, where he gave 2s to a little boy, Witness found 5s Id on the ae- fendant. Defendant's father, a stonemason, said could do nothing with the boy, who had been previously birched for a similar offence. The boy's mother was dead. He considered the best thing would be to send him to a refor- matory, as he "knew what he had done, but could not say what he would do." The Bench ordered the boy to be sent to a reformatory school for three years.

COLWYN BAY POLICE COURT At the opening of the monthly petty ses- sions at Colwyn Bay, on Saturday, the chairman, Mr T. G. Osborn, said tnat since they had last met the Children Act had come into force, and it was necessary for the Bench to make some arrangements. They had decided to appoint the magistrates' Toom as the special cfourt in which the special cases under that Act would be tried, and the time would be 10.50 en the day of the sessions. A CURIOUS POINT. A curious point" of rating law was raised by Mr E1. A Crabbe, who appeared for R. T. Whitley, of Old Colwyn, who was sum- moned for non payment of the urban district. rates for the year ended. on March 31. Mr J. Lewis Jones, collector, stated that he demanded the rate on September 25, but the defendant, who wa.s called by Mr Crabbe, swore that the date was August 26, the demand note which was handed to him being endorsed with that date, the endorsement, he stated, having been made at the time. Mr 'Crabbe said that if his client was correct the rate was statute-barred, as it could not be recovered more than six months after it was demanded. The collector explained that the defendant last year owed arrears amounting to £ 3 19s, and to give him a chance of paying them off he delayed the demanding of the rate for the year till as late a date as possible. The arrears had not been paid, and oould not now be recovered. and, said Mr Lewis Jones, "I think it it. rather mean of him to try to get out of it The Chairman said the Rench had looked I into the matter carefully, and had come to the conclusion that the demand note was properly dated, and that the rates must, be I paid.

LABOURERS SENT TO PRISON. L Two burly labourers named Patrick Nolan I and Thomas Williams were charged w th having been drunk and disorderly in the Station Road. Police Constable Evans stated that about eight o'clock on Thursday I night the two men were creating a disturb- ance opposite the Imperial Hotel in Station Road. They refused to go away, and on the I contrary became very violent, kicking and biting and "raising the street." The officer tried to get them to tne lock-up by way of Sea View Road. Nolan got hold of the iron railings in front of the house of Mr C. R. Chaplin, and in the effort to remove him the railings were pulled down. Williams the railings were pulled down. Williams tried' to give the constable a blow in the face, but was knocked down by one of the crowd. If it had not been that some bystanders came to the policeman's assistance the officer would have had a very rough time. Mr Chaplin gave evidence as to the damage, and stated that about 18 feet of iron railing was torn down, and the cost of replacing it would be 16s to 18s. Nothing being previously known against the defend Efnts they were fined 20s each and costs. and in default of payment they were taken j to gaol for a fortnight. 1

BALD HEADS. l To the Editor of the rnavibh Herald." I Gentlemen,—Seeing Vaskop's "Vigorine" cure for baldness recommended by someone who had derived benefit from it, I wrote for a trial [bottle to the manager of the Chemical Specialities Depot, 139, St. Stephen's-green, Dublin, ana, undoubtedly, it is the best hair-producer ever discovered. Though I was bald for several years I found it an unparalleled success, and I am now proud to say that I have a new growth of hair on my head, which I solely attribute to the wonderful properties of Vaskop's "Vigorine," and this though I have not yet finished the third bottle. In gratitude, I will be the chief means of advertising and j circulating its qualities in my part of the country and you, gentlemen, if you choose, can insert this as often, as you please, for the benefit of your numerous readers. j C.

It is only on really instgnifi- f J cant and unimportant matters that the sense of the community is 11 fffl ever at fault. The sentiments and opinions of the world are more I likely to be right than those of the isolated critic. This is partic- I ill ularly true of such matters as must be decided by the test of expe- IV II rience. What the majority have proved in practice to be true KB Ra ought to weigh with us as an established fact. Now if there is one ftl SI question more than another on which public opinion is unanimous B1 Hi it is that the excellcnce of BEECHAM'S PILLS as a family medi- V cine is unsurpassed.
