PROPOSALS FOR CELEBRATING…
PROPOSALS FOR CELEBRATING THE QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE AT DENBIGH. AN ENTHUSIASTIC AND j SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC MEETING. On Monday night a meeting was held at the Town Hall, convened by the Mayor (W Mellard, Esq), to consider what steps should be taken for celebrating Her Most Gracious Majesty's Diamond Jubilee at Denbigh. r k The meeting commenced at 8 o'clock in _ALtrD.oil Chamber, when the Mayor occupied the chair, but owing to the large assembly, and the continual flocking in of the inhabitants, the gathering was ad- journed to the Town Hall, where the busi- ness was proceeded with. Among those present were the Mayor (Councillor W Mellard), the Town Clerk (Mr Parry Jones), with his assistant Mr Edward Parry, Messrs R Humphreys Roberts, J T Hughes, C Cottom, T W Bowdage, John Bellamy, Thomas Roberts, E A Tumour, T A Wynne Edwards, Gwilym Parry, Thos Ashford, Wilhelm Keepfer, J LI Williams, W H Evans, J T Williams, E J Swayne, Thomas Gee, Howell Gee, Wm Barker, S Edwards, M.A., David Williams, Boaz Jones, J Harrison Jones, E T Jones, A Foulkes Roberts, Wm Parry, D H Davies, S T Miller, T 0 Jones, R W Lloyd, R G Davies, P Williams, W Marsden Davies, W Roberts, Aneurin 0 Evans, T C Jones, W James, Wm Llovd, C Trevor Jones, Hugh Williams, J McGill, W H Hughes, R J Bushnell, James Hughes, John Davies (surveyor), W Vaughan Jones, R Roberts, Major Conran, W J Conran, R D Hughes, Evan Pierce, John Davies (solicitor), W J Nott, W G Helsby, Roger Pryce, J H Miller, Ed Mills, R Williams, J S Roberts, T Pierce Hughes, T Francis Evaas, Dr Lloyd, James Green, T Benson Evans, Robert Owen, Prys Jones, Robert Hughes. D Roberts, R Lloyd (Grwaenynog Bach), Revs J Morgan, J Charles, and Jos Evans, and a Dumber of ladies, including Miss Turnour (Park Cottage), Mrs Howel Gee, and others. At the request of the Mayor the Town Clerk read the notice convening the meeting. The Mayor then read the following which he had received from the High Sheriff:— Llewesog, Denbigh, March 6th, 1897, Dear Mr Mayor.—I regret I am unable to attend the meeting you have called to consider what form the local celebration of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee should take. I presume this question -will resolve itself into two parts. First, what the festivities on the day of cefebra- L-u esPeclaH.Jr for the poor and the children. Secondly, what form the permanent commemoration shall take. Towards the first I shall be most happy to contribute. With re- gard to the second, I think it is highly desirable that the decision of the meeting shall not clash with the County Meeting which will shortly be held to consider the question. I tMnk this may h. 1 y yon ntirg a deputation to brmi> your vie-tr? before the County Meetia-, and awaiting the reeuit of that mbeting taking aay action independently.—I i-amain you. very truly, Th-jma* Wir.tiA.Ma. W Mellard, Esq., Mayor of Denbigh." | Ths. Mavor then read the following !p*r.er.— "Gwynlryn, Denbigh, March 8th, 1807. Dear Mr Mayor,-I much regret that I am not able to attend the meeting you have con- vened for to-night. I feel sure you will net attribute my absence to any indifference on the subject, or want of respect for yourself. I venture with all respect to commend to the favourable consideration of the meeting those of our local Institutions in which all shades of religious and pulitical opinions can unite- the Infirmary, the Nurse Institute, and the Inter- mediate Schools.—Yours faithfully, T. (XOLD EDWARDS." The Mayor read a letter of apology from Dr URhes for his non-attendance owinj* to a pro- fessional engagement, And ashing the meeting cving Dear^Ut ^ayo?^lfollowing l^ter that to all appearances I 8hIlfXK°edmgl>' &01^ to attend the meetinc thf«l -G unabIe rate until very as one proposal to commm, a-sk vou Gracious Majesty's Diamond ^er JlI-ost ishment of a Nursing esta!>- Denbig'u. from which trained nurses mTv h° obtained for private nursing. If attached to the Infirmary, it would be a source of good profit and meet tho present deficit in income. Den- bigh, in uot having such an Institution is behind the times, and neighbouring towns with many finer facilities. The exceptional advant- ages which the Infirmary and the Asylum afford tor training are practically made no use of, nor turned to the advantage of the town as a fore- most oue in North Wales.—Yours very truly, J. LLOYD ROBERTS." The Mayor also received a letter from Colonel Lloyd Williams, Bod Gwilym, who wrote to apologise for his absence, and adding that he was moat disappointed, at the last moment, to Qidably prevented from attending. < 5ee«?ng.° 7°U had a ful1 and satisfactory THE INFIRMARY CLAIMS. The Mayor then read a letter as follows from Col Mesham, chairman of the Infirmary Committee:— Denbigh, 18th February, 1897. Dear sir,—At the annual meeting of the Denbighshire Infirmary, held at Denbigh to- day, the following resolution was passed, viz.:— That it is earnestly to be desired that in this, the 60th year of Her Most Gracious Majesty's Reign, a grand effort should be made to com- memorate that remarkable event throughout the wide area which derives such large benefits from this Institution, and for all classes to unite in freeing the county Infirmary from debt by placing it on a securer financial basis in future. Rich and poor, Churchmen and Nonconformists alike might unite in contri- buting to such a worthy object, and feel that in doing so, they would fittingly commemorate such a glorious epoch in the history of our country. May I ask you to bring this to the notice of the inhabitants of Denbigh and dis- trict and if your reply is favourable, which we hope it may be, the Committee will endeavour to take steps to carry out the proposed scheme. An early answer will oblige yours faithfully, ARTHUR MESHAM, Chairman. Pontruffydd, Trefnant, R.S.O., N. Wales." THE COUNTY SCHOOL CLAIMS. The following was read from Mr A Foulkes Roberts clerk to the County Sohool Governors At a meeting of the Denbigh County School Governors, held this afternoon, to consider (among other matters) the question of the raising of the local building fund of ETOO re- quired in order to secure the payment to the Denbigh School Governors of a sum of CI,200 from the county funds. The following reso- lutions were unanimously passed:—"That the urgent necessity of securing the P,700 be repre- sented to the public meeting called by the Mayor for to-night, to consider the question of cele- brating Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee with an appeal that the meeting give this effort its warmest sympathy and support," and That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Mayor before the meeting." The Mayor said these were all the com- munications he had received, and the, proposals made were interesting. He did not know whether it was his duty to apologiile for not calling that meeting earlier, for it had been said that it ought to have been called earlier, buffrom the response they had given to the notice, he thought they had started the movement at the proper time (applause). He felt greatly obliged to them all for their attendance that evening, to consider the question of commemorating that most memorable year, in which they cele- brated the 60th year of the reign of their Most Gracious Queen (applause). His words need not be many, for as a wife and mother she had been a noble example throughout the whole world. No monarch in England had ever reigned so long, so wisely anti so well as she had done (applause). No monarch in England had ever received so thoroughly the love and respect of her subjects as she had done (applause). During no previous reign and in no period of the sarno extent had there ¡ ever been such an extension of this great and glorious empire in all parts of the world (applause). The question they had to decide that night was what they were going to do in Denbigh ? He had a lively recollection of the Jubilee year when Mr R Humphreys Roberts was mayor, and when everything was done that could be done to show they in Denbigh were true and loyal (applause). They had in their midst two ] institutions, namely, the Denbighshire ] Infirmary and the Jubilee Nursing Institute. ] Both of these institutions had done great 1 good in the past, and would do quite as much good in the future if they would only 1 provide them with the means to do so ) (hear, hear). But the very best institutions could not succeed or continue their benefi- cent work if they were crippled by the lack of funds, and therefore it was impossible for 1 the institutions he had named to keep on doing the good they had done and were now doing, unless they provided them with < the means of doing so. It was impossible for them to progress otherwise. If he was < to tell them the suggestions that had been made to him as to which way they should t celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, he ] did not think they would ever come to an end, but they were present that evening to decide the question and carry out the duties I connected therewith, and he hoped they i would all do their best to help him, so that < this great event might be celebrated in the best possible manner, He hoped the first i thing that they would decide upon that night would be the local demonstration, so that the deserving poor and children of the borough might be properly entertained in honour of the event as was done in the Jubilee year (applause). He had a balance sheet of the expenses of the local celebra- tion in honour of the Queen's Jubilee, 10 years ago, from which it seemed that it cost about £08, including the balance handed over to the Denbighshire Infirmary of about X5, so that in round numbers the sum that would be required to entertain all the children and the poor, and for the local demonstration wou'd be LILOO. He had great pleasure in calling upon anybody to maktf any suggestions afl to a fitting manner r.f celebrating the event or ut pro-j posing any resolution on the subject. Mr .J Harrison Jones said he there that night not as 2i lownsiuan, but as representing the county school. He felt that the school was rather under a disad- vantage. The late chairman of the grammar school was the late Dr Turn or and he was sure that the institution WOui^ have received much more svmmtW the fact of that late revered JS" connection with it than it could possib]^ do from his (the speaker s) adv0cacy as c^ir° max. The la;e Dr Turnour was'a memb r ot the governing body for many year. aQdJ chairman for many years, and was one who felt deep sympathy -th this school, and, indeed, euucational matters throughout their country he was also one who had great interest in the Infirmary. He (Mr Harrison Jones) felt in some degree that he could follow in his steps. He had been a member of the school for many years, and a member of the school for many years, and had been elected by his co-governors as their chairman, and he had also the honour of being a member of the Infirmary com- mittee. He should, therefore, be extremely sorry to advocate the claims of one at the expense of the other. He thought both institutmns were worthy of support (ap- his M-* ha< *10Wever. been asked by q uestion^tf°r8 ^e^ore them the I &°ef wAts 5 -ft to call a public meeting to make known the claims of the proposed sch„ol, and tbe con- ditions upon which they should have the grant from the governing body, and be had made preparations for that meeting, but be had been ill, and it was only a few days ago that he was able to get about, and he I was sorry, that in conseouence, he was not able to call the public meeting. But they would see from that, that the bringing for- ward of the question of the county school now WLS not a new thing. It had been in- tended to bring the claims of the school forward quite apart from any Diamond Jubilee celebration, and was not now brought forward in opposition to the In- firmary in any way, for they were both good institutions, and he hoped they would run well together (applause). He proceeded to lay before the meeting the case cf the county school. The scheme of the county governing body was under an Act of Parlia- ment. That scheme provides for all schools in the county certain funds for carrying on the schools and also for building purposes. The terms in Denbigh are that the county governing body will give to the local gover- nors of the school XI,200, on condition that the governors raise £ 700 for building the new school. They had also from the county funds the sum of X380 a year to help to carry the school on. This was in addition to the grants from the different departments for certain subjects, and also in addition to the fees of the scholars. The time by which they were called upon to provide the X700 would be up next August. They had been in a little difficulty (or they would have issued their appeal before) by the scheme of the county school being to some extent dovetailed into the proposed new scheme for the management of Howell's school, by which they had expected to sell the present premises to the Howell school to be used by them as a hostel for addi- tional girls, and they had been expecting that the Howell school scheme would have been passed, so that they would be able to know whether they should build the new school in Park-street, or whether it would have to be built else- where but that scheme was not passed. They wrote to the Charity Commissioners to extend their time, but the reply they received was that they must conclude their scheme and settle the matter by August next. He said thst the queston of raising that £ 700 was a very important thing for Denbigh, inasmuch as if they did not do it, it would be a loss of X1200 and the loss of the school, which is so necessary for Denbigh, nothing would be able to repay. He felt that the establishment of a school in Denbigh, the borough town, was of the very greatest importance, The sum of X1200 provided to meet them with their £700 would secure a very good school, and one that would be equal with any other county school and serve for many generations. He was of opinion that this matter should be warmly taken up by the inhabitants of the town. He was sure it was an object worthy of support. It would be a memorial which would continue for generations. It would be quite in harmony with all the lofty purposes of which Her Majesty had approved fur celebrating this great evont. It would be a permanent memorial for the youth of the town and district in years to some. He should say they1 had had a promise to help them, a gentleman whose good tieedi were well known in Denbigh, had promised them the sum of £100 in helping them to secure the JE700. If they aad decided to carry the scheme out to build the school elsewhere, the sum of S250 had been promised them, but they ivould not like to mislead the public, and they had decided to btiiti the school there, if they will be able to secure the sum of L700 by August next. In concluding he said he felt groat responsibility in that matter, by the position in which he was placed as chairman of the school governing body, find he hoped by June next that both the )bjects of the school and the Denbighshire Infirmary would have been reached with great success (applause). It was, with a view of making a definite start with the business, proposed by Mr S Edwards, Grammar School, seconded by Mr Keepfer, and carried, That of the mm collected, a portion not exceeding £100 "e spent in local celebrations in the form of treats to the old people and school children, md other festivities." Mr Thomas Gee said he would expect a member of the Denbighshire infirmary oomraittee, who attended more regularly than he did, to lay the facts and needs of that institution before the meeting. They would all agree with him that both the Infirmary and the county school deserved all the support thay could give them. They had an Infirmary which was a great bless- ing to the whole of this district and a large area of this county, and very liberal sub- scriptions had been given to its support; but he thought the claims of the school were equally worthy and argent. The g.ammar sohool had been 1n a V"I'V nmmit- able place ever since he remembered it. Having referred to the past of the school, Hoi- f,/? to \ne^uc'e the probable money .,IVrom the Sale of tms present school lu b'r.cioi, «,> to build c. entirely new site Lf> ihe.'e wp.s not a gentietneln in the room who would say that ^ie sc iool iti Park-street was what it should 9 °Ue Was a cre(^'t to Denbigh, and he was quite sure that it would not be avowed to rereuin much longer where it was. j ^en to repeat the facts and figures given by Mr Harrison Jones, and said with th<» sums named they could secure a school which would be a credit to Denbigh, and provide all the young boys of the town and neighbourhood with all the facilities of a good education. But the question conies as to how this movement in connection with the Diamond Jubilee s ould be carried out to meet the require- ments of the infirmary and the school. There were a largs number *ho would con- n J.U-? i° infirn^ry who would not contribute to the school, and there were a large number who would contribute to the school that would not contribute to the infirmary. He did not think it advisable to joint those two objects, but all should contribute to the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, which should run on general lines, they could all decide which they should contribute to, a part to the infirmary, and a part to the school, or all to the infirmary or all to the school. But what they wanted to do was to secure as much as they could to the support of both object, He then threw ont the suggestion that as regarded the school, the money promisgd might not be required for the year, but might be extended over two or three years. Mr Harrison Jotcs said they would either require the money or promissory- notes (laughter) as the Governors had to obtain the money or guarantee it. Mr Gee concluded by urging that the two objects were too important and needed the money so urgently that they were not justified in spending Y,100 on local celebra- tions. Mr Howel Gee thought that in these hard times it was not necessary to put such a great tax upon the generosity of in- habitants of the borough, as to spend 2100 in local rejoicings. They spent as much money as they wanted to spend in 1887 they went it pretty merrily then in spending £ 85. If they spent £80 it would be quite sufficient, instead of spending L100. Tho Mayor' V'r6 need null necessarily spend it Mr Gee the limit is set at 2100. Mr Howel Gee Not necessarily so, but XSO would be quite sufficient to meet necessary objects, and he proposed that instead of £1(;0, £80 should be inserted. This was seconded by Mr Boaz Jones. On going to the vote Mr Gee's amend- ment was lost by a large majority, and the resolution to spend a sum on local rejoicings not exceeding .£100 was carried with much applause. Alderman T J Williams proposed That beyond the local celebration, this meeting recommends the Derbighshire Infirmary and the scheme for the erection of the County Intermediate School as the most desirable objects to which to devote the funds raised in celebration of the 60th year of Her Majesty's reign, leaving the donors the choice of deciding what proportion of their subscriptions shall be applied to each object." Mr Thomas Gee, who had also proposed a resolution, withdrew his and seconded Mr T J Williams'. A. long discussion then arose as to how the local celebration expenses were to be provided, whether by a separate fund or by deducting so much from the subscriptions to the other objects, Mr John Davies, Mr R Humphreys Roberts, Mr Wynne Edwards and other-; taking pa-t. The Mayor said that the meeting had passed that £.100 should be spent on local festivities, nothing else had as yet been decide! upon but if the two objects mentioned were decided upon, the £100 would, of course, come ont of the subscriptions sent in proportionately t from those two objects. i A long discussion followed. i It was proposed by Mr R Humphreys 1 Roberts, seconded by Mr Wynne Edwards. ( and carried, That, provided the two ob- jects now named were decided upon, the 1 expenses for the local celebrations be de- ducted from both funds pro rata." Mr Wynn-i Edwards said that with regard to the form the permanent memorial should take, there was no doubt that both objects were very desirable for the good to the town. They were there that night to consider the best means of celebrating Her Majesty's reign, and they ought to decide i upon some object which would be as far as possible at all times a memorial of this j great year. They all knew that about 80 < years ar^o that in this part of the country < their forefathers gathered together 9 to « celebrate the reign of George III, and tney i built that monument on Moel Fammiu. He did not suggest that they should build ( a monument on a hill, such landmarks were < not now required, but he thought the money ] that was subscrbied should be sat apart for < some permanent memorial of this great i event. He should like a large sum of 1 money to go towards the Infirmary, but not to be swallowed up by the extinction of the debt, but in free beds or some permanent obiect to be for ever connected with the Diamond Jubilee, as their branch of the Nursing Institute, which was started in the Jubilee year. The same may be said of the school. If a large sum of money was con- tributed, he should say that it should not go into the general fund but towards a wing of the building, which should be called the Diamond Jubilee wing. In Denbigh they had great natural advantages. In the midst of the town t-hey had the most charming piece of ground, the old Castle and the bowling green, which now belonged to the Government. He thought they might purchase the Castle ani the bowling green, and hand them over to the town as a public recreation ground, for, although he was a member of ths bowling grePll, bp. did not think it was doing very much good aL present (laughter and applause). He was in a position to say that some time ago the Town Clerk and himself had an interview with a gentlemau who represented the Woods and Forests, and they understood from him that it could be bought for a very small sum. He did not wish to press this matter, but merely made the suggestion as it would be a most useful and most r>i»rm*np.nt monument of the 60th vear of Her Most Gracious Majesty's Reijjn. He could not quite follow out with what Mr Harrison Jones had said. He was an old grammar school boy, he spent 6 p'3r1" there, and he thought pkould have new schonlf but the"question yf the school was one of luterraeditvle Education, which ought to ba maintained out of the rates. It was the duty of the County Governing Body to find the money tor the building of the and school should be provided out of the rates, and he did not think the building of the school was a fit and proper I way of celebrating the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The infirmary was an object which should be supported because Her Majesty herself had desired that a certain portion of the fund collected all over the country should be contributed towards infirmar es and hospitali (applause). In concluding he said he did not intend pro- posing any amendment, but whatever would be carried out he hoped the money would be devoted to a permanent monu- ment of this great event. Mr Harrison Jones said tho condition as to Denbigh finding the £ 700 was m the scheme by Act of Parliament and the same rule applied to all the schools in the county. He read the details from the scheme as to all the schools. I The Town Clerk said as an inhabitant of the town he desired to see the wishes of Her Majesty, expressed by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, carried out, which were thpt the celebrations should take the form cf relieving the sick and poor in Her dominions. He would, therefore, move that the subscriptions obtained as the result of that meeting be applied as follows :—lstr that three-fourths of the amount subscribed should go towards the Denbigh Infirmary, and the other fourth to the Nursing Insti- tute and the Soup Kitchen. After a little consideration this was with- drawn, not being seoonded. Mr Foulkes Robert-j, whilst disclaiming the slightest antagonism to the Infirmary, proposed as a test of the meeting that the building of the Intermediate School be the object of commemoration. Mr Mills seconded this, but it was not taken up, and soon withdrawn. The Rev James Charles said he hoped that no resolution would be carried which did not include both objects, the Infirmary and the School (applause). Although a governor of the School, yet, he considered, no worthier object than the Infirmary could be thought of. He also thought that the iauucuuLOLuiic>l.s ilï. Denoign and neighbour- hood, within the area of the Infirmary, did not do as much as they ought to do towards the Infirmary (applause). An appeal ought to be made to them especially on the subject, and he thought they should and would do so. The Infirmary was already built, and they were in debt ZE500, but as for the school scheme, they hadn't got a building yet. Mr Wynne Edwards had talked about a wing. Well, of course, it was no use of talking about a wing until they had got a body (laughter). The Rev gentleman then went on to explain the position of the school scheme, and favoured the Infirmary and School suggestion. Mr Swayne said both these objects were good and appropriate ones, and ought to go together, side by side. He should not like in any way to speak against the Inter- mediate School scheme, in advocating the Infirmary scheme, but he would point out the Infirmary was more in need than the Intermediate School was. The school wanted 1700, but the infirmary wanted from £ 8,000 to £10,006 to pay the debt, raise funded capital enough to increase the income, and so place it on a secure financial basis. It wanted a sum of money sufficienilp-to increase its income from three to four hundred pound a year, as there was an annual deficit of X300 a year. A ahort time ago an appeal was made, and they raised a sum of XGDO (applause). Still there was a debt of .£500, and they desired to accomplish the threefold abject of paying off what they were in debt, secondly to increase the annual income sufficient to meet the expenses, and thirdly, if they could get any more, they desired to round free beds, which should be called Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee Free Beds :applause). Of course the infirmary ?cheine would be spread over a far .arger area than the school as the Infirmary district included large portions of Denbigh, Meirioneth and Flint. He con- cluded by urging that both schemes were deserving, and both would run well together and chould not be regarded as antagonistic the one to the other. The resolution of Mr T J Williams was then put to the meeting and carried unani- mously, with much applause. With a view of meeting the suggestion of die High Sheriff as to sending a deputation ;o the county meeting, it was agreed that /he Mayor, Col Mesham and Mr Harrison Jones be a deputation to attend a county neeting. A long discussion arose as to the division )f the tunds, and it was distinctly arrived it that there would be two funds, and that persons subscribing could apply the whole )f their subscription to one object or divide t into any proposition they thought fit between the two objects, and if they sent the money in without specifying the object they would be written to asking their wishes. It was resolved that a subscrintion list should be opened at both the banks of the town. A long discussion arose as to the disposition of the money whether to be handed over unconditionally to the two institutions or only to be used for a specific object. Mr William Parry proposed, and Mr Wynne Edwards seconded That the dis- position of the money should remain in the hands of the general committee, who should specify how it was to be used by the two institutions." Several gentlemen spoke against this, An amendment was proposed by the Rector, seconded by Mr J LI Williams That the balance of funds be handed over to both institutions without any restrictions." 'l. was carried by a large majority. Mr Howtl Gee proposed, and Mr Charles Gottom seconded, that a committee i be formed for carrying out the obiects I decided upon, to consist of six members nominated by the infirmary committee and six members of the county school governors, and the remainder by that meeting. This was carried, and those to represent the meeting were elected as follows :—The Mayor, Messrs T J Williams, E J Swayne, John Davies (solicitor), E A Turnour, J LI Williams, E Mills, Dr Lloyd, J Thomas Hughes, T W Bowdage, James R W Lloyd, T F Ev*ns, C Cottom.' Rev Eva* Jones, W Keepfer, William iaojd, W Barker, Boaz Jones, A Foulkes Roberts, A O Bjaus, Howel Gee, R II Roberts, T T Benson Evans, Thomas Oee aid.William James. On the proposition of Mr Howel Gee, seconded hy Mr A O Evans the Town Clerk was appointed hon secretary, and on the proposition of Mr Bowdage, seconded by Mr S T Miller, Mr Edward Parry, clerk of the town clerk, was appointed secretary. The meeting closed with a vote of thanks 0 to the Mayor, proposed by Mr T J Williams, seconded by Mr J Harrison Jones.
