SANITARY INSPECTORS' ASSOCIATION. NORTH WALES DISTRICT CENTRE. A meeting of this centre was held at Bangor on Saturday afternoon, Mr R. H. Parry (Gwyrfai) presiding over a good at- tendance, which included representatives from Llandudno, Rhyl, Prestatyn. Aber- gele, Llanrwst, Bettwsycoed. Trefriw, Con- way. Penmaenmawr, Llanfaidechan, Ban- goT, Carnarvon, Criccieth, etc. Councillor Charles Pozzi, the Deputy- Mayor, on behalf of the Mayor (who was unavoidably absent), in extending a civic welcome to the meeting, said he regarded their calling as an important one, and much good. must aocrue from their meeting to- gether. The Chairman drew attention to the fact that Mr R. H. Williams, TTefriw, one of their members, was absent fighting for a seat on the Carnarvonshire County Council, and on the motion of Mr Evan Roberts, Carnarvon, seconded by Mr R. Lowe, Rhyl, a resolution was passed congratulating Mr 'Williams, and hoping that if elected, he would look after the interest' of the sanitary inspectors as certain powers are given to County Councils under the Housing and Town Planning Act. After the transaction of, formal business, Mr W. H. Worrall, of Bangor, read a pape»r on "Infectious Disease and Isolation," on which a most interesting discussion took place, the following taking p,arti :-Dr Travis, Medical Officer of Health; Messrs J. Gill. R. Lowe, Evan Roberts, William Little, W. Wilkinson, A. O. Evans, Thomas Hughes, and thej Chairman. At the close of the meeting the members were entertaind to tea at Wicklow House, bv the Mayor (Mr H. C. Vincent), who, on the motion of Mr R. John Hughes, second- ed by Mr William Little, was heartily thanked for his hospitality.

CARNARVON HARBOUR TRUST. THE QUESTION OF PILOTAGE. The Manch meeting of the Carnarvon Harbour Trust was held on Tuesday, Mr J. Issard Davies (chairman) presiding. There were also present Sir W. H. Preece, K.C.B. (vice-chairman), Messrs G. R. Rees, T. Mor- gan Lloyd, Owen Jones, Alwyne Carter, John Prichard. R. Newton, A. H. Richards, C. Wawn, W. G. Thomas, Edward Roberts, W. S. Jones, T. E. Roberts, Thomas Owen, Edward Hughes, J. P. Gregory, Trevor Hughes, W. Lloyd Griffith, Thomas Hughes, J. Trevor Roberts, J. T. Roberts, together with Messrs W. Bowen Jones (clerk and surveyor), and Henry Owen (col- lector). ROYAL NAVAL BATTERY. A letter was read from the Treasury ac- ceptins the Trustees' offer of JB250 for tne surrender of these premises. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that for continued heavy gales and rough weather generally, the past month had been the worst exper- ienced since his connection with the Trust. The only trouble caused was the drifting slightly out of position of the bar buoy on the 18th, and No. 1 red buoy on the 21st. These buoys were replaced in their nropar positions on the 25th. No damage was sus- tained at Abermenai. "PUZZLE FIND THE CASTLE." The Works Committee considered the question of fixing boards at the landing (stage with directions to the town and castle. It was recommended that a board be lixed at the N.E. dock corner, "To the Promen- ade, Town and Castle," and "To the Town, Twtliill, and Castle." Mr J. T. Roberts thought visitors should be directed along the quay wall towards the castle. Mr W. G. Thomas: If we are going to have notices at all, we must put two boards up. Personally, I think it would be advis- able not to have any notices put up, or ii, is sure to be a puzzle of find the castle (laughter). The recommendation was adopted. SAND DUMPING. The Surveyor's report upon the question of dumping sand on the Coedhelen shore was considered, and it was recommended that the Surveyor should prepare a plan showing the position where groynes should be fixed, and that he should communicate with the Board of Trade in the matter to ascertain their opinion. This was agreed to. PILOTAGE. i The committee appointed to enquire :nto the question of the new pilotage area recent- ly created in the Menai Straits district re- ported that they met the sub-commissioners on the 4th ult. The committee gathered from the discussion that took place, that the sub-commissioners were of opinion that by making the three districts which formerly constituted the pilota-ge area from the bar to Puffin Island into one, it would be the means of inducing a superior class of men to qualify as pilots, but that the success of the project was open to question. The sub commissioners stated that the scale of fees for the new area had not been finally settled, but that in all probability it would be slightlv lower than that in force in the combined dis- trict, which meant that the earnings of the sectional pilots would be slightly less. It1 was urged upon the sub-commissioners that' the result of the new system would be tc concentrate the pilots at the Swillies, and this point was conceded by the sub-coin- miasioners. The committee considered that. this was very undesirable from the Trustees' point of view, and may have the effect of i leaving Llanddwyn without pilots in the future. Notwithstanding that the thret districts were now merged into one, the j sub-commissioners gave assurance that they would continue to grant sectional li- censes to masters in respect of boats com- manded by them. The committee urged the sub-commiseioners to give rerresentation by membership to the two authorities repre- senting the ports of Carnarvon and Beau- maris. but the sub-commissioners suited that. any representation with respeqt to the constitution of the district, the scale of fees, or the representation of the Trust cn the sub-commission should be made direct to Trinity House. The committee recom- mended the Trust to adopt this course. The Chairman said that it was not likely that any support would come from the sub- commissioners, and the Trust would have to aprroach the Trinity brethren directly in the matter. Mr J. T. Roberts said that the effect of the change would be a concentration of pilots at Menai Bridge. There would be no I pilot available without going there for him. Mr Richard Bulkeley, of the sub-commis- sioners, had mentioned that if a pilot had to be provided for Llanddwyn a reduction or a contribution would have to be made. He proposed that representation be made to the Trinity Brethren that they should revert to the old state of things. Mr Edward Roberts seconded, and this was agreed to.

PRISONERS' AID SOCIETY. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Carnarvon and District Discharged Prisoners' Aid Society was held on Saturday,, February 26, 1910, when Mr G. J. Roberts, J.P., presided, m the unavoidable absence of the chairman, Mr J. E. Greaves (Lord Lieutenant). There were also present Mrs Jones, Minafon; Airs Wawn, Mr Trevor Hughes, and Mr James F. Farley (Governor of the Prison and hon. secretary). The committee's report, read by the I' Chairman, stated that 492 prisoners were discharged during the year ended December 31. Of these 90 were assisted by the So- ciety in various ways. The statement of ac- counttt showed receipts including Govern- ment grant, amounting to JS89 10s 3d. and the expenditure involved a sum of J352 17s 10-21 d, leaving a credit balance of JB56 12s 41d. Twenty male prisoners were received on transfer from Liverpool during the year. and three females from Ruthin. The relief granted in the majority of oases has been in. providing discharged prisoners with cloth Jigig, etc. Several were furnishjed with hawkers' licenses, and some wejre given food to tide over the first few days after discharge. In many instances railway fares were paid. It was with deep regret that the committee had to record the death of their esteemed colleague, Mr Harry Clegg. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr Trevor Hughes, the report was ad- opted. The committee was re-elected, Mr Eric J. W. Platt being appointed to fill the vacancy created by the death of Mr Harry Clegg. A vote of thanks was accorded the com- mittee for their work during the year. and also to the auditor, Mr G. H. Humphreys, of Lloyd's Bank, the Chairman adding that the committee were under a great obligation to Mr Humphreys. A vote of thanks was also accorded Mr James F. Farley for the good work done by him. Mr Farley, res- ponding, said he had had every kindness at the hands of the committee. A vote of thanks was also accorded Mrs Jones, Minafon, who exerts herself very much in trying, to secure work for dis- charged women prisoners. On the motion of Mr Farley, a vote cf thanks was accorded Mr G. J. Roberts for presiding.

Influenza Rampant How to subdue it in'24 hours. During the severe influenza epidemic of two years ago no remedy was inorie widely used or more uniformly successful than Veno's Lightning Cough Cure. It subdues the feverish symptoms in 24 hoars. Take it at once to prevent attacks. Read the fol- lowing remarkable case: — Mr Jas. Lydon, 61, King Street, Port Glasgow, N..B., writes :1 was lately the victim of a severe attack of influenza, which left me with a terrible bronchitis and blood spitting. I was in a bad way, but nothing did me any good, and my general weakness, shortness of breath, and coughing got worse. At last I tried Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, and although I only used one bottle, the result was marvellous, I felt immediate relief; the coughing and blood spitting stopped, and now I an) quite strong and in- fact a new man. No other medicine could have done what your Cough Cure did for me. Veno's Lightning Cough Cure is the standard remedy for coughs, colds, bron- chitis, influenza, asthma, whooping cough, and all chest and lung troubles.

COUNTY CRICKET IN WALES. A meeting was held at Llandudno Junc- tion on Saturdav to consider the future cf the Carnarvonshire Cricket Club. It was decided to disband the club in consequence of the lack of interest taken in the organisa- tion. It wa.s further resolved that no county match engagements be entered into for the forthcoming season. A general meeting of the North Wales County Cricket Associa- tion will be held at Chester next Saturday. and it is hoped that same effort will then be made to reorganise the forces not only in Carnarvonshire but throughout iNorth Wales. 0

f CARNARVON TOWN COUNCIL The monthly meeting of the Carnarvon | Town Council was held on Tuesday night, I the Mayor (Alderman J. T. Roberts) px'e- siding. There were also present Aldermen R. Parry, J. P. Gregory, E. Hughes; Coun cillors Owen Evans, Peter Angel, J. Jones, i D. T. Edwards, John Fletcher, R. Newton, A. H. Richards, J. 0. Evans, John Prichard, R. Ranleigh Jones, T. Armstrong, M. E. Nee. together with Messrs R. 0. Roberts j (town clerk). A. Holden (borough account- I ant), G. H. Humphreys (treasurer), E. Hail (surveyors W. M. Ruxton (gas manager), E. Roberts (inspector), etc. ¡ ELECTRICITY WORKS. Mr Price White, engineer, Bangor, in his ) annual report on the electricity works, states J that the buildings are generally in good I condition. It was evident that no effort was spared to maintain the plant in the most I efficient condition, and it was a pleasure to note its general appearance, an appearance which spoke highly of the interest taken by I the staff in the work. Considering thai the battery had been in use for five years, I a period generally considered to be about one half of its life., it could be considered to be in a highly satisfactory condition. Its capacity had of necessity dropped, and it Nas probable that during the next year or two further replacements of cells would be neces- sary, but this could be dealt with as need arose. The works as a whole were well and efficiently maintained, and the Corporation could feel secure that its interest in this dir- ection was well looked after by the company. During the year a considerable increase in the number of consumers was to be noted. and the capital expenditure charged in "es- pect of the mains, services and meters, Lad been checked in respect of each consumer. The company had met objections made from time to time to certain items by reductions of prices charged, but the question of prices charged by the company in respect of meteTS had never been satisfactorily settled. As far back as the early part of 1908, atten- tion was drawn to this matter, and he again submitted that the Corporation was :.ot getting lowest market prices for meters, such as it should do. in view of the arrange- ment between it andHhe company, being that all capital expenditure is to be chaTged at cost price plus 15 per cent. LOANS. On the recommendation of the Finance I Committee, it was resolved that application I be made to the Public Works Loan Board for the following loans :-Pool Street sewer, I £350; Christ Church pavement, £ 120; low water landing stage JB500. I INSTITUTE INSURANCE. The Accountant reported to the Finance I Committee that the Library Committee had considered the question of increasing the J amount for which their books are insured against fire, and that incidentally the oues- tion of the amount of insurance on the Insti- tute Buildings was also discussed. The building is at present insured for JB2500, which the Library Commitee consider is scarcely sufficient, and they therefore sug- gested that the amount should be in- creased by another JB1000. It was resolved to act upon the suggestion of the Library Committee, and that the in- I surance of books and furniture be increased I by J6200. thus making the amount JS700. PRICE OF GAS. In view of the satisfactory condition of the gasworks' finances, it was resolved, on the recommendation of the Gas Committee. that the Accountant in presenting his an- nual report, should state what further con cessions, if any, might safely be given to the gas consumers. I VERTICAL RETORTS 1 Having regard to the probable necessity 1 for renewing some of the retorts at the Gas- ■ works during the coming summer. it was I resolved that the Gas Manager should inves- tigate the question of the vertical retorts which have been introduced with successful I results into many of the large works in the country, and inquire of the patentees as to I whether such retorts could not with advan- tage be adopted at the smaller works. j STREET LIGHTING. I The Gasworks Manager reported that the whole of the lamps in the town were now whole of the lamps in the town were now on the incandescent system, the streets in consequence being very well lighted. To further improve the lighting of Pool Street, j the Manager suggested that the lamp near Mr Francis' shop should be transferred to I the other side of the street, and this lamp, j as well as the lamp at Pool Street Market^ changed into a 300 candle .power lamp. Dealing with the general lighting of the wn, the Manager reported that there vere 222 public lamps, for the cleaning, lighting, and maintainance of which the Highway Committee paid the Gas Committee L560 per annum, or about £2 10s per lamp per annum. Thirty-two of the lamps were all- night lamps, the rest being lit until mid- might only. A lamp lit until midnight would consume 10.000 c.f. of gas during the year, and an all-night lamp would con- sume 20,700 c.f., the total consumption of gas for the year being about 2j million cubic feet. The Manager suggested hat controllers should be fixed on all tho all- night lamps. Mr Peter Angel took exception to the statement that the lamps were lit until .nid- night. All lamps except those lit all-night were extingished before 11 o'clock. Alderman R. Parry said it took the lamp- men till midnigiht to extinguish the lamps. The Mayor: I think they are rather prompt in extinguishing them. Alderman Parry That is why the men I are asked to call at the yard before enter- ing upon their duties. Further consideration of the matter 'Nas deferred. POOL STR'EET SEWER. The Surveyor reported that the work of laying the new sewer in Pool Street, was proceeding satisfactorily. WATERWORKS. Applications were read from persons ap- plying for the post held by the late Mr

CARNARVONSHIRE TEACHERS. THE NEED OF COUNTY AUTHORITY I REPRESENTATION. The annual meeting of the Carnarvonshire branch of the National Union of Teachers was held on Saturday, at Carnarvon, when Mr R. E. Jones (Nant Peris) was installed president, in succession to Mr W. El'ijs (Pen- 1forddelen). The President dealt with the triennial re- purt of the county education authority, just ) issued. The excellent attendance was & subject for congratulation. It was, however regiettable to find that only 5 per cent of elementary scholars m the county passed into the intermediate schools, and 'this em- phasised the need for the official staffing of elementary school, in which some improve- ment had taken place in the couise of the last three years. The association also felt tho necessity of having some of its members co-opted on the county education authority, Carnarvonshire and Denbighshire being the only counties in North Wales which had no direct representation of the elementary teach- ers on the county -education committees (hear, hear). I Mr H. Davies (Talybont, Conway) was el- ected vice-president for the ensuing year, a.nd Miss Hughes (Llanaudno) was made I treasurer. Mr W. R. Jones (Bangor), who l was re-elected secretary, was also presented with an honorarium for his efficient secre- tarial duties in the past. Some discission took place on the new secondary scheme lor- mulated by the county education committee, and it was suggested, as an amendment, that children who won scholarships as the result of paid special coaching should not be per- mitted to enjoy those scholarships, On the motion of Mr D. Jones (Port- dinorwic). seconded by the Secretary, and strongly supported by town head teachers, a j resolution, submitted by the Menai Asso- ciation was unanimously adopted, deprecat- ing the employment of children after school hours, and affirming that the time had come when the teachers should do all in their power to bring about the abolition of such labour. It was also decided to address the follow- ing list of questions to all candidates for the 'County Council at the forthcoming electija: (1) If elected a member of the County Coun- cil, will you favour the co-option of a prim- ary teacher now in active service in the county on the education committee of the county? (2) Will you improve the teach- ing staff in the schools maintained by the Council by (a) refusing to make any further appointments of imperfectly qualified per- I sons? (b) reducing, as rapidly as may be, the number of imperfectly qualified persons now employed as members of the school teaching staff? (c) securing an adequate scale of remuneration for teachers?

TREFRIW LICENSEE AND HIS CERTIFICATE. REMARKABLE POSITION. I At the Bettws v Coed Licensing Sessions, Mr Judge, the licensee of the Belle Vue I Hotel and the Ship Inn, Trefriw, was fined for selling spirits without a license, Mr I Judge not having paid for the license, due [ October last, for either establishment. The renewal of the licenses were adjourned for a fortnight to enable Mr Judge or his com- pany to pay the Excise duty. At the ad- journed Licensing Sessions at Bettws y Coed on Saturday the Clerk informed the justices that the supervisor of the Inland Revenue had written to state that the money still I remained unpaid. Mr Judge (rising in court) I am prepared to pay what is due for the Belle Vue Hotel out of my own pocket. Mr JeLf-Petit (a justice): We have no right to collect Excise duties. Mr Judge: I can pay the money into oourt. Mr Petit We have no power to receive the money. e can only grant certificates for licenses. You have had since October to pay the Excise duty, and now you tender it at. the last moment. Mn- Judge I expected to see the super- visor here to-day, so that I could pay for the hotel. The Clerk The hotel has been closed since the last meeting. Mr Judge I have been left to carryon the hotel myself, and I have spent a lot of money out of my own pocket on it- I want to get my money back. It was decided that the sergeant should forward the following wire to the collector "Money for the Belle Vue tendered. Shall I collect?" — In a short time the reply was received "No; the money must be paid to me." The Clerk (to Mr Judge) Send the money away to-day, and you can open on Monday. I Mr Judge Under the circumstances. I strongly appeal to the Bench for the renewal of the license to-day. Mr Petit: It is a most unique applica- tion. You apply for a new certificate with- out having paid for the old one. I should 1 -0 say that the application forms a record in the annals of the licensing courts. The. further consideration of the appeal ) was adjourned for a fortnight. I' MILLIONS OF LIMES are used everv year
