CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW AT I COLWYN BAY. The annual Chrysanthemum and Fruit Show under the auspices of the Colwyn Bay and District Horticulture Society was held in the Victoria Pavilion, on Wednesday afternoon, the judge being Mr Louth, of Ashton-on-Mersey. The flowers had been arranged in the vicinity of the stage, and al- though there were fewer blooms than last year, it was obvious that the flowers fully maintained the excellence which was char- acteristic of last year's event. The fact that the Chester Chrysanthemum Show was held on the same day accounted for the reduc- tion in the number of entries, several exhi- bitors which patronised the show in 1908 ex- hibiting at Chester. Mr T. E. Purdy, chairman of the commit- tee, in the absence of Mr J. J. Wooler, the president of the society, introduced Madame Dews, who, in a few delightful words, de- clared the show open, and then sang_"God Save the King." Madame Riviere is tbo lady president of the society; Mr W. Jack- son the vice- chairman of the committee, Mr Walter Groom the secretary, and Mr W. Herbert Bourne the hon. treasurer.

Griffith, W« present wtre -.—^Messrs. T. W. Griffith, W. O. Williams, W. H. Jones, J. J. Marke, 1 0. Thomas, H. Wilsou, H. Edwards, W. Thomas D. Davids, Pierce. Jones, Robert Roberts. F. J.

It was proposed to widen North Parade a cost (including trees) of £ 50. Mr. W. 0. Williams vigorously protested j against the committee's recommendation, and i>r» movins that the matter be not pre oeeded with, ho pointed out that the j tion of property in qu^at-u) wa#' the on-/ | greea spot in that part of the town rrie of the prettiest bite of scenery in the d trict, and the finest trees in their stree s would be removed "f the scheme were rar 1 ried out. He contended that the work v.as 'I quite unnecessary as the traffic was ,not sut- ikjentiy great to justify it. i Mr. William Thomas: Does it mean de stroylnJ1: tho tree-r.? M.r. Wilson I understood that the rees is were not to ibe disturbed. I second t h, wr.endmect# Mr. T. W. Gr.uB.th moved, as a furtVr -at !t.h3t the matter :be refer. e.I back to the committee, so that every mem- ber of the CouM'.d had time to inspect- the i<-Dot. and be thus better able to decide the ouestion. Mr. Robert Robert* and Mr. Sm.th rose together to seoend Mr. Gr:Sitli3 amend- ment. l\Ir. Smith said there was a large ment. :\1r. Smith said there was a large amount of traffic at the point in question, and he reminded the Council that the motor traffic had very largely increased up to the Grand Hotel by the garage in Church Walks, so that there wa. ur^uestionably a l"i ,k at present of a ser.ous accident occur- r:1.2. Mr. W. O. Williams withdrew his motion in favour of Mr. T. W. Griffiths amend- ment, which was carried r.em con. PROPOSED NEW ROAD TO CRAIGY- DON. The Works Committee reported that the Surveyor had presented a plan showing a proposed carriage road to Ora:gydon from Conway-road to the intersection of the ex- tension. of C'arence-etreet. The road would cost £ 436; for the Clarence-street portion, £ 62. Tiiey recommended the Counc.l to carry out the work on condition that the mort- gage-as of the Craigydon Land Company pay one-half of the cost of the portion of the work to be carried, out al Clarence street; that Lord Mostyn give all facilities to the Council for doing the work, and de- dicate the land for the purposes of a public highwaj. and that the Counc 1 should not be required or called upon to pay any com- penfiat.'iGu to tenants 'for disturbance or otherwise. Mr. W. 0. Will'ams protested against the principle of constructing roads for the llefit the landlords at the public ex- pense. In that -articular instance, he was not aware that there was any demand for a road by the public. He did agree that it would be for the benefit of the un- employed, but it would not benefit the rate- payers. But it would benefit Lord Mostyn and would also benefit the Craigydon Land Company. He saw that the Cragydon Land Company wa., ael,-L-d to contribute half the cost of making that portion of the road in Clarence-street. Why was that? The Chairman: They volunteered t. Mr. W. 0. Wrilliams Why hould Lord lostyn not do likewise with, regard to that portion of the road which would go through his land? He proposed that the re-commendation be not adopted. Mr. R. Roberta aid that he would be prepared to second the amendment if Ir. W. 0. Wil1 iams would amend h:w motion so as to refer it back to the committee. Mr. WT. O. Williams assented. fr. R. Roberts, iin seconding, said they should be careful not to embark upon any scheme beyond what was legitimate for the upkeep of the town. Mr. E. E. Bone said that the position of the Craigydon Land Company was very de- ferent to that of Lord Mo;tyn. The road would help the land of the company to be thrown on the market much sooner than if the road was not constructed. That was whv the company contributed. Lord Mos- tyn would not have a single house built on that part of h:a estate for at least 20 or 30 ygarR. He commended Lord Mostyn for hi's public spirit in allowing the road to be constructed along h's land. from which he would derive r.c. immediate benefit. Mr. George Woodvatt observed that the road was a necessity to Cra gydon. Mr. T. W. Griffith sa',cl that the popula- tion of Craigydon was increasing by leaps and bounds, and tha road would prove a I great, acquisition to the whole area. Mr. W. O. William** having replied, the motion was put to the meeting, when eight ( votod for the amendment,, and eight. for the recommendation., but the Chairman gave his casting vote for the amendment. DfAMAGIE TO PROMENADE PROTECTION WORK. The Surveyor reported- upon the damage caused to tihe Promenade protection work by the .recent storm, and recommended that certain work should he done without -delay :n order to avoid further damage. The recommendation was adopted, and th., cost was estimated at £ 402.- Mr Wm. Thomas moved that the work be proceeded with forthwith, so that some relief could- be given to the unemployed of the diatridt. He assured the Council that, the unemployed question was a serious mat- ter in Llandudno, and' he gave an instance of a, case which had come under his per sonal observation, where a strong ma.n had actually cried when he had failed to get work recently, the man's family.—it sub- sequently tuamsjpired—being in severe want of food at the time. The Surveyor was instructed to proceed witiL the work without anv unnecessary delay. PROPOSED RECREATION GROUND. A sub-commilttee had met Lord Mostyn to discuss the question of making some per- manent provision for a recreation ground. The Council Field was referred to, also the field adjoining the cricket field on the rcrtth side. The Council's tenure of the field was only an annual one, and there- fore they could not make such improve- ments as might be advisable. It. was sug- j igc-sted that Lord Mostyn should consider and quote a pride for the sale outright of tne Council Field, or in the alternative iterms for the grant off a lease of, say, 21 | years, and also that he should consider terms in respect of the land adjoining the Cricket Field before mentioned Lord --NT6& tyn promised to do so. A letter was Trod from Mir Artih-ur R. Hughes, of Rf ill-terrace, recommending, in. view of the fact tha* 'the Council were con- sidering tihe o-npc providing a recrea- tion gr" that the plot of land above the minstrel plot be utilised for the purpose. While two of his children, the elder of whom was 12 years of age, were play Her ball on the ground recently he was surprised to see them stooped by the caretaker, because he had always been under tihe impression that the ground wae to be played upon. On the suizvogtioti. of Mr H. Ed wards, the letter was referred to oommittee.

The Gas Committee recommended that the wag;cxi of the water and gas mains fore- man 4Jahii Edwards) be increased from 4s to 4s 2d per day. MT Sar&cn moved, as an amendment, that his future salary be 4s 6d per day, and after a short discussion this was agreed to. HEALTH STATISTICS. Mr J. J. Miarks, in proposing the adop- tion of the raporlt of the Health Committee, said that the death-,raite for last month was only 4.2 per 1000 of the population. There was not a town in the country with 1 population of 10,000 or 11 .€00 which couua show such a low rate. Mr J.. O. Thomas a'so congratulated the (town upon the low death-rate, bi- the :birth-ra)te was lower than it should be. THE TOWN BAND. Pandmastter Peter Kohl applied for a re- newal of the present contract of the town band. The Bye-Laws Committee recommended that the band be re-engaged for a further period of 12 months, on the existing terms, and subject to such conditions as to the positions on the promenade where the band may perform. Mr Pierce Jones proposed that the ques- tion of re-engaging the band1 be referred back to the commiittee for further con- sideration, with a view to the organ.isatiion of a local band, and that in the meantime uli-e present band be engaged from month -to month Mr Hugh Edwards, in seconding, mid that local men, should be given a chance. Mr R. Roberts observed that they would all like to see a local band, but the mem- bers of the band staltecL that. they could not devote the time to it. Mr Thomas Smith sunroorted the proposal to refer the matter back to the committee. THE HL41PPY VALUE!1 MINSTRIEUS. The "Clerk read a letter from Mr W. J. Ohurdhiill, in which he stated. "I am pre- pared to start the season earlier next year provided I get support from the Council and committee, as I can assure you tihat the last two weeks I kept it on this season, was a dead loss in every way. If they could see their way to recommend the Oounoil to aliow me thTee niieib'ts a. week, then I could start at Easter and keep on until the end .r October, for which I am willing to pav for." The letter was referred to the Rye-Laws Committee. DOMiUNIOIF!^ A'ND DRAUGHTS. The Library Management Committee re- commended that draughts and dominoes be supplied' to eaah branch library. A reaoluitiion was read from the Rate- payers' Asociation n-rotesting against the ipt oposal. believing that the same were un- necessary and illegal. The Chairman stated that there was no 'authority in Abating that they were illegal, a.nd the recommendation was agreed to. MISREADING OF A METER. With reference to the error in the reading of the water meter through which water is supplied to Messrs Ind, Coope, and Go's Ice Factory and Stores at Craigydon. and in consequence of which Mr Sarson and others allege a loss of between Cl600 and £ 2000 to the ratepayers, the following resolution passed at a meeting of the Council- in com- mittee came up for confirmation :—That this committee, having heard the explanation as to the manner in which the expected loss on the quantity of water supplied to Messrs Ind, Coope and Co.'s Stores at Craigydon occurred, consider that it is not possible to fix the responsibility on any individual official of the Council, and requests the Water and Gas Committee to place on its minutes a short account of the matter. Mr F. J. Sarson proposed, as an amend- ment, "that this Council having heard the explanations affecting the discovery of the erroneous reading of Messrs Ind, Coope and Co.'s water meter, and now being aware of the defective system of control and checking in connection therewith which has resulted in a loss of water revenue amounting to over. L1600, decline to relieve the water depart- ment of responsibility in the matter, and insists upon a correct and systematic! super- vision of water meters in order to prevent any repetition of such avoidable losses." Air Sarson read a long statement, in the course of which he condemned the water department. Mr David Davies, in seconding, said that what he was concerned about was the form of the minute, because it gave a wrong im- pression on the minds of the ratepayers. There was no discussion, mor consideration, of the matter as to who was to blame and who was not to blame. Mr R. Roberts observed that the Water and Gas 'Committee were going into the matter, and any fresh evidence would be placed before the Council. Mr William Thomas said that undoubtedly an error had been made in the reading of a meter, but it had not resulted in any pecuniary loss to the town. The amount of water used was not really needed for the works, because they were carried on with very much less quantity. If the meter' had been read correctly at the end of the first quarter, the waste would have been detected, and consequently the result would have been that the waste would have been stopped. Tt would then have run up the Orme, .'nd with the overflow into the sea. The rate- payers could rest assured that they had not lost the P,1640 alleged. As chairman of the

Water and Gas Committee, he wished, on behalf of the committee, to lodge a protest against certain actions of Mr Sarson. Mr Sarson replied on the discussion, and alleged that the Water and Gas Committee had been negligent in the performance of their duty. On the amendment being put, it found only one supporter—Air Sarson. It was, -hei'cfore, lost. THE LIGHT RAILWAY SETTLEMENT. The Clerk having read the terms of the settlement in the lawsuit between the Coun- cil and the Light Railway Company, Mr W. 0. Williams proposed, and Mr Marks seconded, a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman and Mr Bone for their services in arriving at a compromise. The Council appreciated those services as well as those of Mr Conolly and Mr Morton. Mr Bone replied, and said that they had worked hard. It was peace with honour. In fact, it was an excellent settlement. MARINE DRIVE TOLLS. A communication was read from the Local Government Board stating that they were not prepared to extend the period for charg- ing tolls on the Marine Drive. MISCELLANEOUS.
