County Council Contpoi of Education, I ———— I POSITION IN DENBIGHSHIRE. A epeclal meeting of the Deabigbshiro County Oounoii was held At Daobig h on Wedc-esday, Mr Cbrisiasas Jonoa presi ling, and tiiere weie also present Dr David Lloyd (vice-chairman), Col Mainwaxing, Messrs W G Dodd, E Roberta, D S Davies, Bscnete Jcceit W Jones, E Hughes, E L'oyd Jones. J M Porter, E Allen, E WUiiama, J R Owen, A 0 Evans. D Mae Nlohoil* D Oven Wlliiams, T J Roboilw-r, E Jones, D Lewis, J Joces, D Rogers Jore3, John Hughes, R Ellis, T Evans, T n Robarres liobert Jones and F A Startte. with the Olerk cf the Peace (Mr W R Evans) and other cffioials, to consider a representation from the, Education Gomaiittee with re ipeot to the control cf he loémentafY eoaoola cf the county. Tse County Council for the past three years hve had the power ot control in their own lianda, aU the v ork dose by the Edueation Cooadjistee being subjeei to ccEikmation- It XS&B urged by the Eiuos- tion Committee *Ua6 it v?as imposelble1 effectively to carry on the cosk tnder these conditions. Mr W G Dadd taoved nhat the Conaty Council delegate to the iS^acatio-i C ;m- mifcfcee already appointjaJ ail ilts powers under the Education Act, 1902, with the exception of levying rates and raising; loans for edvoatioa purpose, the new education seheme comas int-i op^rstion Hs eaid tbaa uatil tnrea o? four yea*3 ego the Eduoatioa C jmmiitisa ware endowed with thfo) Coanty Oaanoii'd powsra in the way now proposel, bat the Oouuty Cjuncil than decided to decline to delegate, Ha thought at the time that the assumption of the work of the Education Ootnaiitnea by tho Cjunty Cjuncil woald be a verj saintly lesson to the mcmbara, as it ??ould show that such a system of workIng vsould be very cumbersome snd Gnman9geable# and that had been proved to be tba ease. At the meeting in Aogcwt the County Council decided to apply for an a^eraslon 01 the scheme, so that the E iaostioa C,.)in- raifcKee should ineiade all tho mem* e?s of the CJunby Cjnacil PIU4 a casfcaln nuaibej? I of persons considered to be experts in education. That resolutloa bad ro-I jet cease into effestj and his tuoUou '9;'j that until the new safceme came into effect the powers should be exorcised by the Com- mittee. Ever siooe the powerd wore with- drawn from them the committee had been really aeiing illegally, as they had to appoint teaohers and do ether things which wore not legal until they had been confirmed by the County Council, POZLSP3 some months later,, Mf E JRobert^ Brymbo, seconded tha motior. Mr D Mac Nicoil, Abargele, said h3 rid not wish to inlertefe with the praotnt arrangement, which had worked harmcn* iously until the last meeting, 113 pro- posed that the difiiaalty as to tile appoint- caeata bo orereocao by giving the Carn- mittee power to appoint fceaohftri. This was seconded by Mr A 0 Evans. M? E L'oJd Jcnest Chirkj taid that there W a traoe with the teachers on the questiou o! the scale of Ealarie;, and h'31 leit that if the Oilnty Council waro to confer full porora ag;ttn cpoa Jthe E lnal. tic-n Cjajsaittss, who wero opposai to a toftle ot saiarlej, and who, natiu^ily, toattj lean towards the attitudo ttn; had tt"ik?D up, ii: might be considered as a breach oi ] the terms of the t?uce. Mr Dodd, in reply to furthe? ax^uaents, i gave other grounds for his assertion tiait the present system was unworkable, bub, in deference to a request by Mr J M Porter, Cjiwyn Biy, he altered hia resolution so as to make it read that the delegation of powers should be until the anneal meeting of the County Council in May instead of until the new eefceme came into operation. The smsndsnent was put and received four votes* The resolution as altered bj Mr Do d vras then carried. On the motion of Mr D Mac Nbcll, eeeonded by Mr W G DJdd, the County Council passed a vote of condolence with their colleague, Lôrd Trevor, and Lath Trevor ufen the death in action ol Lieu'enaut Hill-Tre?or, their nephew and FORYD BRIDGE QUESTION. COUNCIL STAND ALOOF, TI?o representatives o? the coanoil who attended tbe reeest eonfetenca cu the question of the Fosyd Bridge at ROJl presented a repust.. It was shown that the bridge is now owned by a firm known as the General Estates Company, Ltd., of which M T B Percy Is the secretary, The • a cretary, when Mked for information as to j f e pi ice as whioh the bridge woula be told to a public authority, and also as to the POVHB o! the company still remaining to I tfceoi tinder their Act of 1861, under whioh is was built, seplied that nothing but I pz jacice to the position of hie company o itd result from his giving any prise or ot hf information to the proposed cooler- orca. h 1901] the cotupanyi the report proceed, applied for an amending Act, and this was vigorously opposed by the County Councils o! Flintshire and Denbigh- shire, and was eventually withdrawn. Com oil, under their special Act of 1872, haxe power to purchase the bridge, but not to free it. They now a kei the two county councils to buy it and make it a free bridge, The conference passed a reaolntiou recom- mending that the bridge be acquired, the ( question of toils being reservel for ccnsiteration later. Mf J M Porter said that at the OJn- 1 ference he asked the Rhyl representatives ?hy Denbighshire should coaao into the I icheie at all, snd Mr W R E/ans did this more fnlly. They conelndtd that there *8 Son y a very relo-,e claim upon, DeabighiGire. Tho bridge was wholly in F iitfchfret fr«d the rates cpon it had b:oa v iialwajs io the Rbyl Urban Diatfi'rS Council. Ttete was no doubt that tho b; I !go would have to bs replsoc.1 by a naw] one forthtfbb. Tae Derbighshiro road ap- proaching the bridge was not a county II road. O.1e of th3 advocates for the taking ever of the bridge rather let the cat out of the bag by describing the present bridge, as a tumble-down sttuafcorc, and said that Rbyl ought to have zn approach worthy or the p'ace built at once. Evidently tbey wislei the Dsnbi^hshire County Council I to undeEtfik8 the expense of providing an attraction for Rbyl. The matter was not put in such a way that the Denbighshire County Council cotfld properly consider it: because there wag no purchase prioa sug- gested and ino evidence o! income, He suggested that no action be taken oa the report. Mr W G Djdd said he ielJ that if the County Council passed a resolution to that effect ii would preja&ice the question, Tha least they could do was to Biaud on one side and express DO cp'ai-m one way or tie other. I Mr J M Porter ssid he woold accept Mr Dodd's suggestion, and tho Coanty Council accordingly passed no formai resolution, but passed cn to • he next basices:. WAR PAY FOR TEACHERS.
