THE COWLYD GOVERNMENT INQUIRY.—We are authoritatively informed that, in our report of last week's Cowlyd Government Inquiry, we were incorrect in reporting the Cowlyd Surveyor (Mr T. B. Farrington, C.E.) as saying that the con- tract allowed the Cowlyd Board to take as much water as could be taken by two twelve-inch pipes with 500 ft. head, subject, &c. The contract allows only one such pipe there, but the pipe is dupli- cated when crossing the river Conway. TO-MORROW CONWAY WELCOMES THE BOROUGH MEMBER.—To-morrow (Friday) evening Mr D. Lloyd-Geoge, M.P., and Mr T. E. Ellis, M.P., will address a meeting at Conway, where Mr George will remain that night.

After the N Company's arrival, the Rev. VV. L. Nicholas preached a drumhead sermon. Yesterday (Wednesday), Colonel Liddell inspect- ed the camp. THIS EVENING'S CONCERT IN CONWAY CASTLE. —This (Thursday) evening, July 21St, the Bands of the 2nd V.B. R.W.F. (Carnarvon and Conway) will unitedly give a grand musical entertainment, (commencing 7.30 p.m.), in the Ancient Conway Castle, of which Bugle-Major Mairs is the enter- prising Lessee. THE DEATH OF A DISTINGUISHED R.C.A.—We regret to announce the death of Mr Charles Jones, R.C.A., the well-known animal painter, the sad event occurring on Sunday evening, July 17th, at his residence, Heathercroft, Balham Hill, London. The late Mr C. Jones was a prominent member of the Royal Cambrian Academy, and his death will be a distinct loss to that body of artists. He was of a very genial disposition, and by his wide circle of friends his loss will be greatly felt. His annual exhibits at Plas Mawr, Conway, always attracted considerable attention. We have not received particulars of his illness (which must have been short, as only three weeks ago he wrote to Plas Mawr, saying with what pleasure he was looking forward to a short holiday in North Wales). Mr Jones was a native of Cardiff, but had resided in London over fifty years. CONWAY RURAL SANITARY AUTHORITY. At the Guild Hall, Conway, on Friday morning, July 15th, at the Conway Rural Sanitary Authority's special meeting, the Chairman (Rev W. Venables- Williams) presided, and there were also present Messrs John Davies (Vice-Chairman), J. Cutts, David Morris, Hugh Davies (Llangwstenin), David Jones (Eglwysrhos), and David Jones (Gyffin) the Clerk (Mr T. E. Parry) the Surveyor (Mr T. B. Farrington, C.E.) and the Sanitary Inspector (Mr Elias Davies). THE LLANGWSTENIN WATER SUPPLY. The meeting's business was to consider the following letter, which the Chairman read :— THE LLANGWSTENIN WATER SUPPLY.—TO THE CHAIR- MAN OF THE CONWAY RURAL SANITARY AUTHORITY. DEAR Sip.At a Vestry Meeting in this Parish on the 16th instant, the Assistant Overseer announced that the Parish is in arrears on account of the Water Rate to the amount of £ 540. At an adjourned Meeting on the 21st, it was explained that the < £ 540 included the amount regained for the current year. To raise this amount in one year on this Parish means a rate of over 2s in the < £ for water alone. It was the decided opinion of all present at the Vestry that the expenses in connection with the water supply are much greater than they need be. The following resolution was unanimously passed That the attention of the Sanitary Authority be respectfully called to the large amount demanded from the Parish for the Water Supply and also to the mis- understanding which exists as to the proper officer to have the custody of the key, and to see after repairs in cases of breakage." I was requested, as Chairman of the Vestry, to explain that 3 years ago the Vestry, with the consent of your Board, appointed the Parish Highway Surveyor for the time being, to be in charge of the water mains as an Assistant in this Parish to your Officer for the Union. In consequence of this extra work the salary of the Highway Surveyor was increased by the sum of eS a year. This increase, like the rest of his salary, is paid out of the Highway Rate, which is collected by the officer himself. After the first year a new man was appointed Highway Surveyor, and the old officer handed him the keys, &c., without demur. The person then appointed was in office for two years, that is, until the 30th of April last. When his term of Office expired, he declined to give up the keys to his successor, and still holds them, saying that he has been appointed to look after the water in this Parish by the Conway Sanitary Authority. The Vestry begs to be informed whether such appointment has been made, and if not, whether your Board still extends to the Vestry the power of appointing this officer. If the permission given 3 years ago be now confirmed, it is the intention of the Vestry to take proceedings to recover the keys. There are very frequent breakages on the lower road, and the water runs waste sometimes for days. Owing to the uncertainty about the officer, people do not know what to do. A case of this sort happened last week, and all the houses from Pensarn to Pentre- felin were absolutely without a drop of water for three whole days. With such management and such enormous waste there is no wonder our Water Rate is so high. The Vestry desired me to say that they respectfully trust your Board will consider the matter at your Meeting on Friday. Signed, on behalf of the Vestry, Llangwstenin Rectory, WILLIAM DAVIES. June 29th, 1892. THE INVESTIGATION. The Authority proceeded to investigate the complaints, and it appeared that the complaining parishioners especially complained of a certain item of ^75 odd paid to Mr Jones, plumber, Conway, the Vestry alleging that this payment was for repairs. On investigation, it appeared that the amount paid Mr Jones for repairs since 1889 was only 5 10s gd, and that certain extensions done piece- meal at various parishioners' requests had cost over sixty pounds. The mistake was, the Author- ity considered, in having commenced these extensions piece-meal, for under those circum- stances the cost could not have been defrayed out of a loan, the expense having been incurred in driblets. The pipes laid down, it appeared, were those that were perfectly sound and uncondemned of the pipes disused at Penrhynside (Llanrhos Parish). The unsound pipes had been condemned and none of these had been sold to Llangwstenin. As to the increased charge for water, it appeared that sundry farmers had lately discontinued in- dividually paying (out of their own pockets) for their own water-supply, and now these charges were paid out of the rates. THE ALLEGED BAD WORKMANSHIP NON EST." The Llangwstenin people further complained, it appeared, that, through the contractor's alleged bad work, there had been bad leakages, and that the high charges for water partly arose from charges for water lost during leakages. The Surveyor reported that in his opinion the work had been done satisfactorily, so far as he knew and so far as he could ascertain that there had been no more leakages than might reasonably have been expected under the circumstances, namely, the great pressure of water (Llangwstenin being so low-lying) and the intermittency of the waier-supply as given by the Llandudno Commis- sioners. THE CUSTODY OF THE KEYS. As to the custody of the keys, the Vestry complained that Mr Isaac Williams would not give up the keys to Mr John Foulkes, whom the Llangwstenin Vestry had recently appointed to be the Vestry's paid official. The Inspector reported that the keys had been given into the hands of Mr Isaac Williams (an experienced man), and he (the Inspector) had forbidden Mr Williams to deliver up the keys to Mr Foulkes (or any other inexperienced man), except upon the Rural Sanitary Authority first exempting the Inspector from responsibility. At this juncture the meeting adjourned till that day fortnight. COWLYD BOARD. At the Cowlyd Board's meeting held at the Guild Hall, Conway, on Friday morning, July 15th, the Chairman (Rev. W. Venables Williams) presided, and there were also present Messrs Cutts, John Davies, John Porter, David Morris, and Hugh Davies (Llangwstenin) the Mayor of Conway (Councillor Albert Wood), Councillor Hugh Hughes, and Aldermen Griffith Jones and John Williams, the Clerk (Mr T. E. Parry), and the Surveyor (Mr T. B. Farrington, C.E.) It was reported that the Government Inquiry held the previous Monday, had been very satis- factory. It was reported that Mr Newton, C.E., had strongly recommended, that the Cowlyd Board should procure a Pipe-Testing Machine (to test pipes up to 12-inch diameter up to eight hundred feet pressure), so that the pipes might be tested on the ground as well as at the works. Mr New- ton recommended the Glenfield Company's machine. The Mayor recommended that the Surveyor should apply to Messrs Tangye, of Birmingham, for their price for such a machine. The Surveyor recommended that the Board should itself undertake the testing,—i.e., the test- ing not to be done by the Contractor (Councillor Bugbird, of Carnarvon). Mr John Porter proposed, Ald. Griffith Jones seconded, and it was resolved, that the Board procure a pipe-testing machine. The Surveyor was instructed to apply for prices to the Glenfield Company, Messrs Tangye Bros, and several other firms. The Board appointed the Chairman, Alderman G. Jones, and Mr Cutts, as a Sub-Committee to examine tenders, and with power to act. The Mayor suggested that the Bridge plans should be lithographed, and the specifications printed, and that these should be supplied to the members of the Cowlyd Board. The Surveyor explained that any member could examine the plans aud specifications. The Board authorised the Surveyor to advertise for tenders for the Bridge, the advertisement to be inserted in Engineering, The Engineer, the Liver- pool Mercury, the Manchester Guardian, the Birmingham Daily Post, and the Newcastle Chronicle. Councillor Hugh Hughes proposed, Alderman John Williams seconded, and the Board resolved, that each member of the Board shoufd have a printed copy of the Bridge specifications, but that the plans should not be lithographed. The Mayor moved, and Alderman John Williams seconded, that the Board advertise for two Clerks of the Works, both thoroughly conversant with masonry and pipe-laying. It was explained that the engagement would be for twelve months, that being the time the Con- tractor was allowed after the signing of the contract. The Board further resolved that the salaries be advertised at £ 2 a week each, and the engage- ment to be subject to a week's notice. The Board appointed the Chairman, Councillor Hugh Hughes, Alderman Griffith Jones, and Mr Cutts, a Sub-Committee to winnow out any thoroughly unsuitable applications for the Clerk- ships of the Works. The Board adjourned to that day three weeks, at half-past eleven. CONWAY AND LLANDUDNO PETTY SESSIONS. CONWAY, MONDAY, JULY IITH, 1892.-Before the Worshipful the Mayor of Conway (Councillor Albert Wood) and Dr R. Arthur-Prichard. LICENSING. Grocer's License Transferred.—W. G. Moberley to J. M. Holliday, Gloddaeth Street, Llandudno. Transfer.—Dwygyfylchi Hotel, Mrs Jane Evans to Mrs Sarah Ann Edwards. THE GRESHAM (LLANDUDNO) LICENSE. The Gresham Hotel (Llandudno) license's trans- fer, adjourned on a previous occasion, was now brought forward again, and was granted, Miss Roberts (the transferee) being present, and being warned that the question of a back-door (used solely for coal and various supplies) would come before the Court at the next Brewster Sessions, and before next September it would be well for her to see what could be done to meet the police's objection to this back-door. A SUMMONS ADJOURNED. W. Smith, whom Mrs Smith had summoned for maintenance, applied for a month's adjournment (owing to his solicitor's absence electioneering), and agreed to give his wife 16s. 6d. a week and to pay the 3s. 6d. a week house-rent, until the case should be heard. Hitherto he had paid 205. weekly maintenance, out of which Mrs Smith had had to pay 4s. weekly rent. The only question in dispute, Mr Smith stated, was as to the custody of the children. THE ROE-WEN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. John Williams, Roe-wen, was charged with attempted suicide.—P.C. Thomas Hughes (23) said that on June 6th, acting on information received, he visited the defendant's bedroom, where he found the defendant with his throat cut and the razor (produced) in the defendant's pocket. —Supt H. D. Williams explained to the Bench that the defendant's motive was believed to be despondency on being informed that he would be unable to sell a house. —The defendant was bound over in r o, and his father became surety in a like sum, that the defendant should come up for judg- ment when required, within six months. LARCENY AT TYWYN. Mrs Ann Rowlands, now of Conway, but formerly more than once convicted of larceny at Conway, was charged with stealing a tablecloth from the Castle View Hotel, Tywyn.—Miss Pritchard (the licensee of the Hotel) gave evidence and identified the coloured tablecloth (produced), which she valued at about 4s.-M rs Margaret Williams, a widow living at Glan Conway, said that she bought the tablecloth from the defendant for 6d. Subsequently the witness gave the table- cloth to the constable.—P.C. Breese (18) proved apprehending the defendant at Llandudno. and receiving the tablecloth from the last witness.— The defendant, who elected to be tried summarily, was sentenced to one month's hard labour. A FATAL CARRIAGE ACCIDENT AT DEGANWAY. On Monday, July 4th, Mr E. H. Williams, a retired Llandudno ironmonger, latterly resident at Deganway, while driving home in company with Mr Drover (Messrs Ind, Coope, and Co's agent), met with a serious accident, the vehicle somehow or other colliding with portions of the wall bound- ing the road (there very narrow), and the horse thereupon taking fright. Mr Drover jumped out, and escaped without very serious injury, but Mr Williams, who held on for several yards, was ultimately thrown out of the trap, sustaining a fracture of the leg and an ugly wound on the forehead. Dr R. Arthur-Prichard, J.P., C.C., Conway, was sent for, and his assistant, Dr Jones was soon in attendance, and he, seeing the extreme seriousness of the case, telegraphed from Tywyn for his principal, who speedily arrived. The broken leg was set, and the medical men found that the injury to the head was most serious, involving as it did brain-mischief, to which Mr Williams succumbed ten days later, on Thursday morning, July 14th. THE INQUEST. On Saturday, July 16th, at the Castle View, 3 Tywyn, before Mr John H. Roberts, Coroner for Carnarvonshire, and a jury of twelve (of whom Mr Robert Jones was the foreman), an inquest was held on the body of Evan Harris Williams, who on July 14th succumbed to the injuries received when his car unfortunately collided with a stone placed on the roadside-against a wall-to protect the corner of a house, this collision causing the pony to shy and the wheel thereby to come in contact with the wall on the other side of the road, whereby the deceased, and his friend, Mr Drover, were thrown out of the car, and Mr Williams, who had received divers mortal hurts and injuries, was picked up and carried home on a stretcher in an unconscious state, and remained so up to the time of his death.—Mr Daniel Parry Williams, Collect or of Customs, Liverpool, gave evidence as to the injuries, and Mrs Ellen Williams and Mary Jones as to how the accident happened.—It was stated that Mr Drover who had been recovering, had had a relapse, and was not in a fit state to give evidence.—The Jury returned a verdict of Acci- dental Death," all except the Foreman, concurring with the Coroner that the stone against which the car collided, ought not to have been placed where it was. THE FUNERAL. The interment took place on Saturday afternoon, July 16th, at St Tudno's Churchyard,"Liandudno.

THE DEATH OF A RENOWNED WELSH PREACH- ER AT COLWYN.-IT is with deep regret that we report the death of the famous and venerable Welsh preacher, Dr John Thomas (Pastor of the Welsh Congregationalists at Netherfield Road, Liverpool), which event took place at Uwchydon, Old Colwyn, on Thursday morning, July 14th. The reverend gentleman had for the last eight months suffered from a severe illness, and al- though he gradually recovered for a time, yet he was but very weak, and, for the purpose of re- instating his health, his medical adviser ordered him to spend few months at Colwyn. However, despite all efforts and the attentive care of his family and numerous friends, last week he passed away in his 72nd year. As an eloquent preacher, a renowned author, a leader of public opinion, a thorough Christian, Dr John," as he was familiarly called, will be an ever-remembered name amidst the Nonconformists of Wales. THE COLWYN BAY CONGOESE IN LAST WEEK'S "DAILY GRAPHIC."—The Rev Wm. Hughes, F. R.G.S., Colwyn Bay, and his native Congoese pupils at the Congo Training Institute, are to be seen in some illustrations in The Daily Graphic dated London, Wednesday, July 13, 1892. Daniel Harvey, the Institute's firstfruits, is also depicted. The illustrations are from photographs by Mr J' W. Thomas and Mr Charles R. Chaplin, both of Colwyn Bay. The accompanying letterpress, headed "A Congo Colony in Wales," commences thus One of the prettiest spots of the many pleasant places on the main line between Chester and Holyhead is Colwyn Bay, not unaptly termed the Naples of North Wales." There the Congo Training Institute has been established, under the patronage of King Leopold of the Belgians, to train African boys as missionaries, schoolmasters, and useful handicraftsmen." The Daily Graphic article then proceeds to deal with the Institute's formation and progress, in an admirably and con- cise summary of facts with which many of our readers are familiar. "Colwyn Bay," The Daily Graphic says, with its health-giving air, was decided upon as the best place to establish the Institute." Further on, we learn that The house is not large enongh for the requirements of the present number of pupils, and a new wing has been planned, for which £ 500 is urgently required. Books for their library too, tools, clothing, as well as money, would be gratefully received." The Daily Graphic concludes by referring inquirers to the Rev W. Hughes, F.R.G.S., at the Congo Training Institute, Colwyn Bay, North Wales. RIGHT WELL HE WIELDED HIS IVORY HAMMER. -Mr Frank M. Porter (youngest son of Mr Porter, C.C., Pwllycrochan), having duly served his articles in the office of Mr John Pritchard, auctioneer and valuer, Bangor, made his first auctioneering appearance on Wednesday, July 13th, when he assisted at the sale of the effects at Llanfairisgaer Rectory. Mr F. M. Porter, was warmly congratulated on the way in which he conducted the sale, and from all accounts he bids fair to make a marked success as "a knight of the ivory hammer."

On Monday afternoon, July 18th, a truly delight- ful garden-party was held in the beautiful and extensive grounds of the Congo Institute, Colwyn Bay. The English Baptists, Colwyn Bay, con- template building a Chapel for themselves, so that they can worship at whatever hour may be most convenient, without being dependent upon the Welsh Baptists, kindness, as heretofore, for the use of their Chapel. A Bazaar is being held the third week of next month (August), and one stall is to be under the care of Mrs T. Evans-Hughes, Rhosian, and of Mrs Hughes, wife of the Pastor (Rev W. Hughes, F.R.G.S.) These two energetic ladies hit upon the happy idea of increasing the proceeds of their stall by the profits of a garden- party, and this, held last Monday afternoon, was a great success. Between five and six o'clock, Mrs T. Evans- Hughes and Mrs W. Hughes, assisted by Miss M. Jones (of Canning Street, Liverpool) and by Miss Litherland, began to supply tea (poured out of a tea-pot whose "large-heartedness" provoked mirthful remarks from the Pastor), and excellent tea the assembled company, seated at several tables placed in the attractive Congo Institute gardens, pronounced it to be, encomiums being also awarded the luscious strawberries-and- cream, the excellent bread-and-butter, and the delicious cake of varied sorts. The Colwyn Bay Pastor, as well as his Colwyn colleague (Rev E. J. Davies) and Mr T. Brackstone, were also busily engaged in handing comestibles to the guests, and the Colwyn Bay Pastor, when at length he was thoroughly enjoying his own tea, was dis- turbed by the unwelcome intelligence that the cow had broken into the garden, and was devastating the currant bushes, and that it was desirable that he should superintend the summary ejection of the intruder. After tea the young folks started playing games in the Congo Institute field, some of the Congoese lads joining in these sports. Subsequently, the Old Colwyn Band, in their picturesque uniform, admirably "discoursed sweet music," their Band- master (Mr Edwin Jones) conducting. The first Baptist garden-party having been such a grand success and so enjoyable, the Baptist friends are talking of a speedy repitition, to which they purpose inviting the Welsh Baptist M.P., Mr D. Lloyd-George. THE WEST DENBIGHSHIRE ELECTION. Polling proceeded busily at Colwyn Bay on Saturday, July 16th, but heavy rain damped the humor, though not the ardor, of the populace generally. In the course of the day, Mr J. Herbert Roberts visited the town, and was well received. THE RESULT. Counting the votes commenced at Denbigh at noon on Monday, and the result, which had been universally acknowledged a foregone conclusion for the Gladstonians, was declared shortly before three o'clock, as follows :— Mr J. Herbert Roberts, G.L. 4612 Colonel Cornwallis West, L.U. 2276 Majority. 2333 The first figures handed to the reporters were —Roberts, 4619; West, 2273 majority, 2346. Six voting-papers were, however, missing, and to save a recount these were by consent added to Colonel West's figures, which were finally adopted as above. There were five spoiled votes. There were on the West Denbighshire Parliamentary Register 8899 electors, 2003 were unpolled. A large and excited crowd received the result with great cheering, and the newly-elected mem- ber was escorted to the Denbigh Liberal Club, where the assemblage was addressed by Mr J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., and several of his principal supporters, including Messrs Moses Williams and James Wood, of Colwyn Bay. Mr Roberts was accompanied by his father, Mr John Roberts, J.P., Abergele, who at the Dissolution retired from the Parliamentary representation of Flintshire. PREVIOUS RESULTS. In 1885, when Colonel West was the Radical candidate, and Colonel Mainwaring the Conserva- tive, the figures were—West, 4586; Mainwaring, 2992 majority for West, 1594; but in 1886, when the Gladstonian party failed to understand that Colonel West had joined the Unionists, Colonel West's candidature was unopposed. ERRATUM. In our last week's paragraph immediately preceding Mr A. O. Walker's letter, the word "action" was unfortunately misprinted "acting." GOOD NEWS OF DANIEL HARVEY. In the course of The Welsh Weekly correspon- dence re "The Colwyn Bay Training Institute," the Rev W. Hughes, F.R.G.S., writes as follows: Mr Grenfell, of the Congo, recently wrote to a friend in London, saying that our first voung man, Daniel, is doing an excellent work on the Congo, and the follow- ing are the words of two other missionaries, who have had over ten years' experience in that country. 1. "Will you please convey my sincere thanks to the Committee for making it possible for you to carry on this work. If the result were only Daniel, with his increased capabilities of usefulness in the Lord's work here, no one can tell how much good will be accomplished." I have had a long talk with Daniel, and he says he is quite willing to go and take up work with me on the same basis and help me in opening an industrial school at Kimpese. I have not the smallest doubt that Daniel will be able to support himself, as the people there will willingly pay for their children to be taught carpentry, as that is a trade thought highly of by them and moreover, he will be able to work for short periods at his trade when buildings are needed to be put up at the different stations on the Lower Congo, and earn sufficient then for extras and pocket money. I am anxious to continue his training here until the time shall come when he will be mature enough and experienced enough to have a station of his own. He has improved so much at Colwyn Bay that I have not the smallest doubt that he will one day, if the Lord spare him, make a very useful missionary of the Cross." 2. "I would give a good deal to lay my hands on another Daniel. I thought possibly that Mr Harvey would not now require him, and tried to get him, but without success. However, my turn will come, I suppose, for I hope Frank will turn out a good carpenter, and go with me when I return to Congo, and help me on the Upper River." 3. The Lord bless you in your work." The many men I had home with me are none the worse of their short stay in England, and in the case of one I can say emphatically that it was a great blessing to him; the other two, were, I am sure. greatly benefited. Mr Scrivener, in a recent note, praises his boy who was in England with him. Another is a steward, &c., to Mr Todd. These facts show that they do not get too prnud for work if they are properly trained. Mavuzi, who was home with Mr Richards, acts as one of our capitas, and Francis has put up a good house (like a mission house), and has been acting as native assistant to anew American mission. It seems they are able and willing to work." LLANDRILLO AND EIRIAS UNITED SCHOOL BOARD. The Llandrillo and Eirias United School Board meeting was held at the Board Room, Colwyn Bay, on Monday, July 10th, 1892. The following were present :-Messrs Frost, Moses Williams, John Roberts, Robert Evans, and Thomas Williams, members of the Board Mr E. Hughes, Clerk and Mr Matthews, Attendance Officer. THE ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. As the Chairman had resigned, Mr Moses Williams proposed that Mr Robert Evans should occupy the chair for the ensuing year.—Mr J. Roberts seconded the motion, which was unani- mously passed. THE ELECTION OF VICE-CHAIRMAN. Mr Frost having resigned the office of Vice- Chairman of the Board, Mr J. Roberts proposed, and it was unanimously passed, that Mr Earp should occupy the Vice-chair. THE MINUTES. The newly-elected Chairman, after thanking the Board for the honour conferred upon him, called upon the Clerk to read the previous meet- ing's minutes, which were duly confirmed and signed. THE ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT. The Attendance-Officer reported his various visits to the Schools, and to the families where cases of poor attendance existed and the Board felt that the annual holidays in the Board's rural district should be earlier in the year than at present arranged. SCHOOLMASTERS' CARELESSNESS. Itwasproposed by Mr Moses Williams, seconded by Mr John Roberts, and passed, that the Masters of the Colwyn Bay Board School and of the Colwyn National School be asked to fill up the attendance-schedule more completely, as in their reports some important columns were blank. BAD CASES OF ATTENDANCE. The holidays being so near at hand, the Board thought it advisable at present not to take legal proceedings against any bad cases of attendance, but, on Mr John Roberts's motion, seconded by Mr Frost, it was decided that the Attendance Officer should call during the first week after the holidays, upon the defaulters' families.

Arising out of the reports of the Colwyn Bay School, which 3 children had left for the Colwyn National School, the Board thought it desirable to have a clearer understanding between them and the National School Managers, and Mr John Roberts moved the following resolution (of which he had given notice at the previous meeting) :—■ "That the Chairman of this Board and two members to be elected with the Managers of the Colwyn National School, be formed as a School Attendance Committee as regards the Colwyn Schools, and to have a meeting at Colwyn once a month, and their report to be brought before this Board to be confirmed." Mr Frost and Mr Moses Williams objected to the motion, though admitting that a clearer understanding between the two authorities was necessary. Ultimately it was decided that the Board invite the National School Managers to a special Board-meeting to be held at Colwyn the ensuing Monday. AN INCREASE OF SALARY. A letter from Mrs M. Evans, Colwyn Board School was read asking for an increase of salary as Sewing-Mistress, and an increase of j £ i per annum was unanimously passed. BUILDING ALTERATIONS. It was decided that the Colwyn Bav School's requisite alterations, which the Inspector recom- mended, be done during the holidays, Mr Moses Williams to draw out the specifications and the Clerk to seek estimates. THE DAY OF THE BOARD'S MONTHLY MEETING. The second Monday in the month being found inconvenient for some members to attend the Board, it was unanimously decided to meet in future on the second Wednesday in every month.
