R. Williams, it was resolved "that we (representa- tives of Conway Corporation, Conway District Council, and Penmaenmawr District Council), as the representatives of these three districts, adopt the principle of joining to provide a Small Pox Hospital.

Mor- gan, "that the authorities be asked to appoint a Committee to discuss the question of jointly providing an Isolation Hospital." THE COUNCIL'S AMENDED BYE-LAWS. The minutes of the Highway, &c., Committee, he'd 29th August, were presented as follows, and confirmed — Accounts.—The Borough Accountant present- ed the Accounts, which were examined and re- comendmed for payment, with the exception of the account for the shelter on Deganwy Pro- menade, which was deferred for a month. Borough Surveyor's Report.-Cilmeityn Water. The proposition of the Rural District is for them to lay a main to our boundary, a distance of about 700 yards, and for which we should contribute a half of the total cost. Locomotive Bye-Laws.—In my opinion, the Bye-Laws proposed by the County Council are sufficient to meet the; requirements of this Bor- ough. There is no road or bridge which needs exemption. Plans.—Two semi-detached villas, Victoria Drive, A. J. Hill, approved, conditionally. Motor house, Home Green, Gannock Park, T. D. Cummins, temporary agreement. Cab Stand, Lancaster Square.—It was resolv- ed unanimously, upon the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Councillor Mr. Henry Jones, "that the Borough Surveyor prepares the necessary stand at Lancaster Square for two carriages."

It was further resolved, on the motion of the Mavor, seconded by Councillor Mr Henry Jones, "that an additional Bye-Law be added against bicycles and tricycles being allowed Oil the M arine Walk." ERECTION OF THE NEW GAS HOLDER. PROGRESS OF THE WORK. A Gas and Lighting Committee was held on 30th August, Councillor Mr. J. T. Morgan in the chair. Gas Manager's Report.—From March 31st, 1904, to August 30th, 1904, 5,961,000 cubic feet of gas was manufactured, as compared with 5,405,000 for the corresponding period last year. From 25th July, 1904, to 25th August, 1904, 1,460,000 was manufactured, as compared with 1,274,000 for the corresponding period in the previous year. Gas made per ton of coal, 10,428 cubic feet. Day pressure, 2 inches night pres- sure. 3 inches. Average illuminating power, 17 candles. In accordance with your instructions, I got samples of locks for automatic meters, skhich I now submit for your approval. I also canvassed Penybont and district for intended consumers and the response to my calling was favourable. I have since had several enquiries as to our conditions of supply. Application from Mr. Hill for Gas.—A letter was read from Mr. A. Hill, asking the Council to lay gas mains and services for at least 30 houses, 5 of which are now ready for immedi- ate connection. Resovéd unanimously that the application be deferred. Application for Gas Cookers.-The Borough Accountant presented four applications for Gas Stoves, which were granted. Borough Surveyor's Report.—Gas Holder.— This work is proceeding satisfactorily, the con- crete bed for the tank being nearly completed, and the foundations for the Governor House are well advanced, the boiler house has been taken down, and the boiler moved and refixed. THE SUPPLY OF ELECTRIC LIGHT. CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE NORTH WALES POWER COMPANY. An adjourned Gas and Lighting Committee was held on the 31st August, Councillor Mr. J. T. Morgan in the chair. Electric Light Order.—Proposed by the Mayor, seconded by Alderman 'Mr. Felix Hadley,' and carried unanimously, "that the whole of the Borough and a portion of the Parish of Llangys- tenyn, called Penybont, to the road called Ffordd Galch, leading from Bryn Marl to Pen- sarn Toll Gate, along the Parish Boundary, thence to the River Conway, be included in the Provisional Order." Compulsory Area.—That the compulsory area be: -From the Guild Hall, Rose Hill Street, Lancaster Square., Bangor Road, to the Arch- way, High Streeit. and Castle Street, all in the town of Conway, and from Bryn Cregin to Platt House, Deganwy. North, Wales'Electric Power Company.—The following letter was read from the above Com- pany:- "Dear Sir,—I understand that your Corpora- tion contemplates the installation of Electric Light in tha Borough. In view of the fact that the above Company will be ready to contract for the supply of electricity for all purposes to Boroughs holding provisional orders may I ask if your Corporation would consider the advis- ability of taking the necessary supply in bulk from this Company. We should be pleased to go into the question of figures, &c., and I feel sure we should be able to shew a substantial saving to you by taking this course. The capi- tal expenditure required (and consequently in- terest and sinking fund instalments) would be very materially less than for a separate generat- ing station, while in steadiness, reliability and general efficiency the supply from this Com- pany would not be surpassed by anything locally generated. I shall be glad to hear from you.—Yours faithfully, "E. NOEL HUMPHREYS, "Representing the "North Wales Power & Traction "Company, Limited." It was proposed by the Mayor, seconded by Alderman Mr. Felix Hadley, and carried unani- mously, "that Mr. Thornton Jones be instructed to write to the above Company and enquir,e of them what their price would be for electricity in bulk, and minimum price and quantity re- spectively." HARBOUR MASTER'S REPORT. The Harbour Master, in his monthly report, stated that 12 vessels (registered tonnage 721), discharging and loading cargoes amounting to 388 tons in, weight, had visited the port during the month ending August 20th. The various port dues amounted to ;64 12S. 7d. THE HONEY FAIR. A Market and Fairs Committee was 'held on the 31st August, the Mayor (Mr. A. J. Oldman) in the chair. Judge—Honey Exhibits.—The Clerk read a let- ter from Mr. T. W. Jones, Etwall, Derby, stat- ing that he was willing to undertake the judging of the honey for the inclusive fee of £ 1 is. Subscriptions.—The Market Hall Keeper in- formed the Committee that the amount of sub- scriptions promised and what he had received amounted to £6 ios., and it was decided that all moneys not expended on the fair would be expended on the Butter Fair. Entries.—The Market Hall Keeper also in- formed the Committee that 15 entry forms had been applied for. THE CORPORATION'S ESTATE. THE LARGE RENT MONEY RECEIVED DURING THE YEAR. The Finance and Bridge Committee was held on the 31st of August, Alderman Mr. H. Hughes presiding. Treasurer's Books.—From the statement of ac- counts it appeared that the balance due by the Treasurer to the Corporation was ^1454 6s. 5d. due to Treasurer, 61,740. This places the Cor- poration's indebtedness at Z285 13s. 7d. Borough Accountant's Report.—Borough Pre- cepts.—I beg to report that the Parish of Con- way has paid the balance due under your pre- cept. No payment has been made by Llanrhos and Gyffin Parishes since your last meeting.— Resolved that the Borough Accountant writes again to the Overseers of Llanrhos and Gyffin Parishes requesting immediate payment. Collection of Rates and Accounts.—The total collections for the month amounts to ^'2,784 9s. iod., £ 919 4s. gd. of this sum Jiaving been received by the Collector, £ 1,531 5s. id. at my office, and [334 paid direct to the Treasurer. Outstanding Balance of last year's Rate.—A balance, of ^35 9s. of last year's rate remains outstanding.—Resolved that the Borough Ac- countant prepares a detailed statement of this sum for the next Committee. Loan Account.—The balance of the Loan Ac- count to-day stands at £500, a reduction hav- ing been made in the account since your last meeting. You are now in a position to pay off this final instalment, and I recommend that this be now done.—Resolved unanimously that the recommendation of the Borough Accountant be adopted, and that the final payment be now made. Bryn'r Hall Property.—The balance of the purchase money is now due, and in order to complete it it is necessary that a cheque be now passed.—Resolved that a cheque be drawn for ^241 17s. tod., being the balance of purchase' money in this matter. Gas Works Loan, £ 4,000.—I have not com- pleted the negotiations for this Loan. I am en- deavouring to obtain the money at a lower rate of interest than that now offered.—Resolved that the Borough Accountant reports further to the next Committee. Revenue from Camping Ground.—In accord- ance with your instructions, I submit the follow- ing statement of receipts and expenditure for 1004 and 1903 1904. 1903. £ > s- d. £ s. d.

A further sum will be received from the Mili- tia for the use, of the Rifle Range, the exact amount cannot now be, ascertained, pending a final adjustment with the Military Authorities. Remuneration re Extra Work.—The Borough Accountant presented a report showing the net profits derived from Militia and Volunteer camps uring the present year, whereupon it was re; solved unanimously, upon the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Alderman Mr. F. Hadley, "that we grant an honorarium of 30 guineas to the Borough Surveyor, for his extra services ren- .J dered with regard to the Militia and Volunteer Camps." Borough Surveyor's Report.—Penmaenbach Siding.—This matter appears toi be still before the L. & N. W. Railway Company, as I have received a letter from Mr. Entwistle asking in which direction it is anticipated the major por- tion of the traffic will flow. I have replied to this, stating that it will probably be in the Ches- ter direction. J" 1 oposed Alterations on Embankment.—I sub- mit the plans (alternate schemes) showing pro- posed alterations for your further consideration. The cost of the greater scheme is Z-3,354 18s., and the lesser, £ 9,499 13s. Lighting of Bridge Footpath.—I would recom- mend that a lamp be erected near the end of footway on the Conway side of the Bridge.—Re- solved unanimously, on the motion of Council- lor Mr. James Porter, seconded by Alderman Mr. F. Hadley, that the Surveyor fix a lamp on the site suggested by him. Letter from Mr. Thorne.—The Town Clerk read a letter from 'Mr. Thorne, again drawing the attention of the Council to the loss sustain- ed by him in the above work.—Ordered that the Town Clerk forwards a copy of the resolution of this Council, viz., "that they had adopted the report of the. Engineer." Assistant Overseer, Gyffin.-Resolved unani- mously, on t-he motion of the Chairman, second. ed by Councillor Dr, M. J. Morgan, that the Borough Accountant be appointed Assistant Overseer for the Parish of Gyffin at an annual fee of £1 is. REMUNERATION FOR EXTRA WORK. Councillor Mr. John Williams said that he could not see his way to support the motion in favour of the payment of an honorarium of £3° to the Surveyor. He was quite certain that the ratepayers at large could not see their wav to do so either. The Corporation was no sooner arriving at a satisfactory state as regards its finances, than recommendations in favour of un- necessary expenditure were being made. He would move, as an amendment, that the matter be referred back to Committee. Councillor Henry Jones seconded the amend- ment. He did not wish to disregard entirely the recommendation of the Financial Committee, but thought that each Councillor should be fully in- formed as to the amount of extra work done be- fore a payment of this kind was made. The Mayor thought that no more was neces- sary than was on the minutes to show the amount of good work that had been done. Councillor John Williams There is a strong feeling in the town against this it might even give occasion for a public meeting. If the Sur- veyor makes an application for extra salary, I do not mind. AM. H. Hughes After spending a great deal of time over the matter, I, as one member of the Finance Committee, thought that this gift of 1:1 !? F £ 30 was only what was just and fair, in view of LÆ great amount of extra work that has been dene by thë, Surveyor in connection with the Militia and Volunteers camping arrangements. The Volunteers only were in the habit of visiting the Morfa before the present Surveyor came into office.: now, the M-ilitia have come in addition. Aid. Hughes, proceeding, said that a great deal of trouble and time, that was not entirely known to the Council, had been expended by Mr. Dela- motte. Several journeys to Chester had been made at all sorts of inconvenient times. He would like, also, to bear testimony to the tact their official had at all times displayed in his negotiations with the officers.' Careful sanitary arrangements were necessary, and it was due, in great part to the excellent precautions that had been taken in this respect that they could con- gratulate thems,elves upon the extraordinary im- munity from disease they had enjoyed. Some of these precautions, he thought, the Surveyor had taken even at some, risk to himself. The presentation of this money need not be made. a precedent for similar actions on any future occasion. He was quite sure that Councillors John Williams and Henry Jones would not raise the slightest objection if they had been present at the Committee when the matter was discussed. He begged to give his hearty support to the re- commendation as it stood on the minutes. Councillor Netherwood thought that Council- lor John Williams was merely asking for particu- lars. He had himself tried to gather what he could' from the remarks made by the Chairman of the Finance Committee. No doubt there was something in what he said, at the) same time it would have to be admitted that the work men- tioned was only part of the. Surveyor's duties. The journeys to Chester were surely made at the expense of the Corporation. He would like to be informed whether the 30 guineas was given to the Surveyor for extra time, or was it merely for work done in time that might otherwise have been employed with some other of the Corpora- tion's affairs. If the Surveyor was a private in- dividual and had been the means of bringing the soldiers into the town, he (the speaker) would then be able to see some sense in the recom- mendation. As things were, it was only his duty to do all he could in that direction. Mr. Chamberlain: No no. Mr. Netherwood: I don't feel justified in supporting this recommendation until we have some further information. If the work has been done in private time, then I will willingly vote for it. If it has not been done out of Corpora- tion time, I shan't. The amendment was at this juncture put to the meeting and lost, Councillors John Wil- liams, Henry Jones, A. Netherwood, and Dr. R. Arthur-Prichard voting for it. Dr. Prichard explained that he only oposed the motion because he had nronosed an honor- arium to an official, a short time back, which was objected to. Mr. Netherwood insisted upon the checking of the voting. Mr. John Williams We want the ratepayers to see this. Alderman Hugh Hughes They will be jolly well satisfied when they find that a profit of about £ 600 has been derived from the Morfa. Mr. Chamberlain The ratepayers don't want to see anything of the kind. AUDITOR'S REPORT. The Auditor's report, which follows, was pre- sented and read by the Town Clerk at the Fin- ance Committee meeting:- "29, Eastgate Row, North, "Chester, "27th August, 1904. ''Gentleman,—We have pleasure in reporting that we have completed the Audit of the Ac- counts of the Corporation including the Bridge and Harbour Accounts, for the year ended 31st March, 1904. "Vouchers have been produced to us of all payments made-, and we have examined the or- ders of the Council for such payments, and have found the same to be duly authorised. We have also examined the Subsidiary Bo ok,4 of the different Departments, and have found that the moneys received by the Officials have been regu- larly paid over to the Treasurer. "The Abstract of Accounts and your Borough Accountant's excellent report on the year's Ac- counts give a clear view of the. position of the various Funds, and it is gratifying to observe the improvement in the financial position of the Corporation, considerable reduction having been made. during the year in their indebted- ness to the Treasurer. "In concluding our report, we take the op- portunity of congratulating the Borough on the favourable results of the year, and also ex- press our satisfaction as to the manner in which the Accounts are k-ept.-Your obedient ser- vants, "\V ARMSi.EY- JONES. F..Co." ( Ald. Hugh Hughes observed that it was im- possible to read the Auditor's report for the, year without noticing the compliments paid both to the Corporation and to the Accountant, Mr. Hugh Parry. He begged to congratulate the Ac- countant upon the receipt of so flattering an ac- count of the Borough's financial affairs. Councillor James Porter seconded the motion, and it was carried unanimously. Ald. Hugh Hughes, proceeding, said that they had still further cause to congratulate them- selves this time, when they remembered that they had now only ;CSoo to pay, before they could see the last of their debts. Though he had beein a member of the Conway Town Authority for a great many years, he had not until that day felt that they were entirely out of debt. Councillor Netherwood said that he was quite sure everyone would be delighted to find that the Corporation was out of its debts, but this was only very natural with the, inflated estimates and consequent high rates they had seen during re- cent years. Any green-horn could see that this had been the case during the last two years. THE PROVISION OF A NEW CEMETERY. According to notice given, Ald. H. Hughes moved that the Surveyor be instructed to find, in the vicinity of the town, a suitable plot of ground for a new cemetery for the whole of the Borough. All, he said, were aware that the time had now come when steps should be taken in that matter. All available cemetery accom- modation had now practically been taken up. He would move the resolution without any fur- ther observations, as he knew no objection to the motion could, on any grounds, be raised. Councillor Henry Jones seconded, and this was carried.

Marriage of Mr. Llewelyn Jones and Miss Kitty Roberts. PRETTY CEREMONY AT CONWAY PARISH CHURCH. The wedding of Mr. Llewlyn Jones, Chemist, Bangor Road, and Miss Kitty Roberts, youngest daugheter of Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Roberts, of Haulfryn, took place under festive circumstances, at Conway Parish Church, on Wednesday morning. The eventful day was ushered in, throughout the ancient Borough, and the greater party of th e surrounding districts, where the bridal' pair are so well known, amidst much pomp and flourish of trumpets. All the main thoroughfares were heavily decorated with bunting, while at intervals during the afternoon, the event was further signal- ised by an unremitting fusilade of cannon. The ceremony was very pretty and effective. The Rev. Archdeacon Madden, of Liverpool, assisted by the Rev. John Davies, Curate of Con- way, officiated, the service being partly choral. The Church was beautifully decorated with palms and white flowers. The bride, .who was given away by her father. looked charming in a dress of white silk, trimmed with chiffon and orange blossoms, and carried a large bouquet made up of lilies of the valley and orange blossoms. In attendance as bridesmaid, was the bride's sister, Miss Maggie Roberts. Her dress, which was also of white silk, was trimmed with Paris lace her hat was of black velvet trimmed with black plumes. She carried a bouquet of pink carnations. Both bride and bridesmaid wore jewels, presented to them by the bridgegroom. Mr Willie Roberts, Maes-y-Castell, acted as best man. A Voluntary was played by Mr H. Bridge Roberts as the bridal procession moved up the a is e, Mendelsshon's Wedding March being rendered at the close of the service. As the happy couple left the Church, they were greeted with showers of confette and good wishes. Soon after the reception, held at the bride's parents' home, the happy couple departed for Buxton, where the honeymoon is to be spent. LIST OF PRESENTS. Brid& to Bridegroom, dressing case.
