Rhyl Urban District Council. SPECIAL MEETINC Momm^-Present: Messrs H A Tilby (chair- man), A L Clews, J H Ellis, J Frimston, F J Gamlin, J b Greenhalgh, D Griffiths, J Ruches, A Lewis Jones, J W Jones, Robert Jones, TD Jones, A Maltby, S Perks T Whitley, J A Williams, A Rowlands (clerk), A A Goodall (surveyor), L G Hall (gas and water engineer), R Lowe (sanitary inspector), and R Hughes (consult- ing surveyor). The Foryd Foreshore: A Prioe Stated. With respect to the Foryd foreshore the Road Committee reported the receipt of a letter from the Office of Woods, &c, stating the price at 92,20f I for land shown on an ordnance survey sheet accom- panying the report, together with houses, buildings, piers, and other erections thereon. It was statei that this offer was open to the Council for six weeks, and that the Council could only effect a purchase by taking the whole, which represented about 16 acres. Mr Ellis, as chairman of the Road Committee, said that although the matter had been under their consideration they did not feel justified in taking any responsibility upon themselves to recommend the Council to acquire the property at the price stated. They felt it would bu better for the Council as a whole to deal with the matter. Personally he thought the price named was rather excessive; and bearing in mind that since the last ordnance survey, made in 1871 five acres of the land had accrued and was now the property of the Crown in consequence of the river having diverted from its original course, he did not see why they should have to pay for land which might be considered an unearned increment. He held that it would be a very great misfortune for the town to allow the foreshore to go into other hands than their own-it would in fact be disas- trous from every point of view. From what he could gather there were other persons, not friendly towards Rhyl, who were only too ready to acquire this land, which was the only portion that could be used for the landing of passengers from steamers. He hoped the time was not far distant when they would be able to enter upon the question of the establishment of steamboat com- munication between Liverpool and Rhyl, and so secure passenger traffic by water as well as by rail. At present the foreshore was yielding the Crown an annual income of fj6 in respect to certain rights there, of which sum the Council paid £ 24 per annum. He felt sure that if the Council entertained the matter and entered into arbitration as to the proposed purchase price the sum now asked would be considerably reduced. At any rate he hoped the Council would not show a dis- position to reject the offer of the Office of Woods without first negotiating with that department with a view to acquiring the land by arbitra- tion. By purchasing the land, he thought the Council would acquire a very valuable asset for Rhyl. They must remember that they blamed their forefathers for missing the opportunity of purchas- ing when the land might have been acquired at the rate of X2(i an acre, the result having been that they were now bein asked between £ 120 and £140 an acre for it; and he trusted that the present Council were not going to do as their predecessors had done and bring down upon them the blame of future generations. He was willing that they should ask the Crown authorities to extend the period during which their offer remained open, but his own feeling was that they ought to close at at once and go to arbitration. The offer was one to be embraced rather than foregone. Mr Camlin I thiRk we have already refused arbitration. The Chairman replied to the effect that the Crown authorities were asked to quote a price, leaving the question of arbitration afterwards quite onen. The question arose as to why the matter had been referred to the Council, the Chairman suggesting that it was because the Road Com- mittee had not had time to consider it. Mr Ellis No, it was such an important matter. The Chairman And you were full up. Mr Ellis We were overworked certainly, but we were not incapable (laughter). Mr Perks said he was opposed to arbitration, as they would then be bound to purchase, whether at the price now quoted or at a reduction. The Chairman replied that the Office of Woods had practically given a pledge to the effect that if arbitration were entered into the Council could have twelve months in which to make up their minds whether to purchase or not. Mr Perks 1 should like to know whether that is clearly understood between us and the Office of Woods. The Chairman replied that he was fully under the impression that that was the case. Mr Gamiin having suggested that the proper course in regard to a point of that nature would be to have a sealed agreement between them to that effect, the matter was left in abeyance. The Marine Lake Lease. The Road Committee reported that only two tenders had been received for the taking of the Marine Lake for either five or three years, and the present leaseholder, Mr Hudson, having offered to take it for three years at £ 180 a year, they recom- mended that his tender be accepted, the lease to be similar in terms to the one about expiring, but reserving the island and fishing rights to the Council with certain other conditions previously stated. Mr Ellis, in moving the adoption of the recom- mendation, said it appeared that Mr Hudson had been labouring under a misunderstanding with reference to the Council's designs at one time upon the island, but now he was full of remorse and repentance (laughter). He was under the impres- sion that not only were the Council going in for the erection of a building on the island but that they meant to seize the revenue from the ferrying of people across to it, thus practically taking his bread out of his mouth. They had, however, told Mr Hudson that if anything was done on the island with a view to attracting visitors all the revenue would go into his pockets. With that explanation he seemed yery pleased. misjit It was stated that as an alternative Mr Hudson had offered to take the lake on a five years' lease at £ 200 a year provided a new boathouse was built for his use. The sum of Elsm) was put down as roughly the cost of a new boathouse. Mr Frimston It is wanted, too. Mr Whitley seconded Mr Ellis' motion. Mr Clews thought they would arrive at an all round better arrangement by accepting the other offer made by Mr Hudson. The Council would gainfUXtby doing so, besides securing the cost of a new boathouse and generally improving the property all round and making it more valuable. He proposed that. Mr J W Jones seconded. M r Gamlin said he would like the matter referred back to the Road Committee, as at present they did not really know what a boathouse would cost or what sort of a boathouse Mr Hudson might require-it might be totally different from what Mr Goodall had in his mind when he estimated £ 100. The Surveyor replied that he had discussed the matter with Mr Hudson. Mr Gamlin Then will you kindly enlighten us as to the nature of Mr Hudson's wants ? It seems to me at present we are buying a pig in a poke. The Surveyor: I have seen Mr Hudson, and what he really wants is an extension of the present boathouse. At present he has to hire room for the accommodation of his boats. Mr Gamlin asked the Surveyor whether he would guarantee that the building would not cost more than ;Cllm). I The Surveyor I won't guarantee. Mr Gamlin reminded the Council that the pagoda which was at one time talked about was at first estimated to cost E500, which figure subsequently rose to 9730 and he felt that in the matter before them he would not be doing himself justice, or his constituents, by assenting to the Council committing themselves without knowing what they 'were going in for. Mr Frimston supported Mr Clews' amendment, remarking that Mr Hudson was not at all ex- orbitant in his demands, and pointing out that at present there were several private boats which Mr Hudson had to find accommodation for besides his own. T'II. ivir nooert Jones also spoke in favour of the amendment, remarking that the stocking of the take involved an outlay of foOO or JE600, which to his mind was one of the reasons there was little or no competition for so small a lease as three years, or even five. Some time ago, he added, the Council agreed to build a house for the private boats. Mr Perks supported Mr Clews, provided he would add a rider to his amendment to the effect that it he ascertained whether Mr Hudson would be satisfied with what could be provided in the shape of boathouse accommodation out of £100. With reference to Mr Robert Jones' remark that the Council had agreed to provide a boathouse for the Yacht Club (which the Yacht Club offered to rent at £5 per annum), the minutes were, at Mr Gamlin's request, referred to, when it was ascertained that although there was a recommen- dation to the Council that the Yacht Club's offer be accepted and that the boathouse be proceeded with without further delay, it was never confirmed by the Council, Mr Hudson objecting to the proposal. The Chairman said he was not at all sure that either proposal before the Council was the best that could be made. It seemed to him that they might as well say they would offer Mr Hudson a certain sum towards the erection of a boathouse. There was no doubt he could do the work very much more cheaply than the Council could do it, and he believed that Mr Hudson would come to terms at £ 200 a year provided the Council allowed him 950 towards the building. Upon a division Mr Clews' amendment was carried by nine votes to six and a further amend- ment by Mr Gamlin, seconded by Mr T D Jones, that the matter be referred back to the Road Committee was rejected by eight votes to seven. Mr Ellis' Buildings in Cresoent Road. The Road Committee reported having had under consideration a memorial signed by twelve resi- dents and property owners against what appeared to them an infringement of the building line in the erection of property for Mr Ellis, the memorial being presented by Mr Joseph Lloyd, solicitor. After discussion they had resolved to direct the C!erk to state in reply to the memorial that the Committee did not consider there had been any infringement of the building line, and that the authority or consent given to the bringing for- ward of the buildings in advance of adjacent property by the Council on the passing of the plans was in accordance with the Public Health (Build- ing in Streets) Act, 1888. Mr Tilby, as chairman of the Committee dur- ing the consideration of this matter, moved the confirmation of that clause of the report. Mr A Lewis Jones Were the plans for these buildings passed by the Council ? The Chairman Before the buildings were touched. Mr Perks Do I understand that the require- ments of the Council have been complied with ? The Chairman So we were informed. I Mr Perks, replying to a remark by the Clerk as to being within legal rights, said that whatever those rights might be, if he were owner of the ¡ adjoining house he should certainly feel himself an aggrieved person. Mr Ellis thought it was very improper for Mr Perks to express what he thought might be the views of an owner of adjoining property. The latter was quite capable of looking after himself. As for altering the building line now there was no means except that of pulling the building down. Mr A Lewis Jones, speaking as a ratepayer, thought the new buildings were undoubtedly a dis- figurement to Crescent Road, and he thought the Council ought to have been more particular in defining the building line. Mr Gamlin did not think it at all clear that Mr Ellis had erected his buildings in strict con- formity with the Act of 1888, which, it appeared, requiredthat the erection of buildings must have the written consent of the Council,the mere passing of plans being insufficient. But as things now stood it was obvious to him that it would be doing Mr Ellis a great injustice to compel him to pull down the building-in fact he did not think Mr Eilis would comply if they ordered him to pull down-and therefore he proposed 1, that the Council do authorise and approve of these build- ings as now erected," thus bringing themselves exactly within the meaning of the Act. The Chairman pointed out that the responsi- bility rested on the Countil and not on Mr Ellis if there had been any mistake or irregularity. Mr Clews seconded Mr Gamlin's motion.' Mr Frimston maintained that, having passed the plans, the Council ought to stand by them. Mr J W Jones agreed that it would be wrong on tne part ot tne Council, after having sanctiosed the plans, to do anything calculated to prejudice Mr Ellis, although if he had had an opportunity of seeing the plans before they were passed he would have voted against them. He thought it a great pity that the Road Committee did not afford the Council an opportunity of knowing anything of the nature of the plans. Mr Ellis said he must state distinctly and absolutely that he had had nothing whatever to do with the passing of the plans, and he had studiously avoided taking part in any discussion thereon, either in committee or Council nor had he suggested anything to his architect about the building line or anything else, but referred him to the Surveyor for everything. The first decision of the Committee was to reject the Dlans and to ask him to set the buildings back two feet. He met them by conceding one foot in Crescent Road and four or five feet in Water Street, thus giving to the;town about 4O0 or 500 square feet. As the Council had had everything to do with the passing of the plans he considered they were in duty bound to comply with the request of the soli- eitors in opposition and convince them that they were cognisant of the fact that the building line had been fixed where it now is. He certainly would not go to the expense of pulling the build- ings down if they allowed an outsider to condemn them for want of formal consent. Mr Whitley said he was opposed to the passing of the plans, but what they had done they had done." J Mr A Lewis Jones held that the resolution now before the meeting practically admitted the Coun- cil had been in the wrong, also that if it ware passed it would throw very grave question upon the validity of the Council's decision twelve months ago. The Chairman, as one who had had a great deal to do with the plans, appealed to the proposer and seconder of the resolution to withdraw. His view of the matter was that the Council's position was absolutely safe as it stood. What necessity was there, therefore, to strengthen their position in the manner suggested ? Mr Ellis also appealed to Mr Gamlin not to press his resolution. Mr Gamlin said in view of the remarks made by the Chairman, in whom he had every confidence and by whom he was ready to be guided in this matter, he would withdraw (hear, hear). This course was accordingly agreed to, it being pointed out that the Road Committee had already carried out their promise to the deputation repre- sented by Mr Lloyd, their reply having been to the effect that they did not consider there had been any infringement of the building line in this case. The Sunshine Recorder Missing. Reference was made to the fact that during the gale last Friday the Council's sunshine recorder had with other things been swept into the sea and apparently lost beyond any hope ot recovery. Action in the matter was deferred. The Sanitary Committee and Precautions Against Smallpox. The Sanitary Committee reported having had under consideration a lengthy report by the Medical Officer (Dr A Eyton Lloyd) on the subject of precautions against any outbreak of smallpox that might occur in the locality and they recom- mended :-(,I) That application be made to the Local Government Board for their sanction to a loan not exceeding £ 1,000 for the purchase of land and the erection thereon, of an administrative block and foundations in reatiiness for temporary wards, for a period of not less than 30 years, under the Public Realth Act, 1875 (2) that the Flint- shire County Council be approached at the proper time for a contribution towards the cost both of the permanent and temporary- buildings, under the Isolation Hospitals Act, 190U. The Committee also reported that the Medical Officer had stated that he would be in London on Monday, and he would, if authorized by the Committee, lengthen his stay so as to call at the offices of the Local Government Board to confer with the secretary on the whole subject if he were aJlowed JE3 3s towards his expenses. They thanked the Medical Officer and accepted his suggestion to all upon the Local Government Board. Mr Gamlin, as chairman of the Sanitary Com- mittee, said smallpox was getting so near that it, was their bounden duty to face the question of precautions now. It would spell absolute ruin to the town if it went fofih, in the event of an outbreak occurring, that th,e Council were un- prepared to deal with it. They had the offer of a site of about It acres at Morfa Cwybr, which 'at present belonged to Mr Oldfie.ld, who was pre- pared to sell it to the Council for £275. and he thought they ought to close w.ith that offer as soon as possible. The cost oJ providing and equipping the hospital they estimated at £ 1,150, this being in addition to the purchase price of the land. At this stage a telegram was read from Dr Eyton Lloyd stating that the use of the Towyn site for a temporary building would invalidate a contribution from the County Council, but the Local Government Board would sanction ? loan for a new site for a permanent building. Mr Gamlin th-en formally proposed that they aPPly to the Local Government Board for sanction to take up a loan for the purpose named. Mr Whitley seconded. Mr Perks said he did not wish to minimise the danger of smallpox being imported into the town, but be thought the financial position of the town ought not to be altogether ignored, otherwise they might have to pay heavily for what might not, after all be required. Mr Clews expressed similar views, adding that he thought a temporary hospital at Towjn would meet all requirements. Mr T D Jones proposed and Mr J W Jones seconded that the matter be referred back to the Sanitary Committee in order that further in- formation micrhfc h» nhfaino/) 1 Officer. ,v. V.&. VU'It;J U.tiUI.(Io.l. i The Chairman assured the Council that the Committee realised fully the present financial burdens of the town, and they hesitated very much to do anything that would tend to increase those burdens. On the other hand he felt that there was some sort of risk in lett ing matters lie as at present. If things worked o ut all right one no doubt might turn round with a gleam of triumph in his eye and say, We told you so." But supposing that things should not turn out all right, he asked, what then ? The aspect of the question he was trying to get avt was that the Council's present isolation hospital was becoming a very popular place—that was to say, people did not hesitate to send their sick ones there, know ing well that they would receive every attention and comfort while detained there. Mr Gamlin And patients M'lt there always get cured. There was not a single death amongst them last year. The Chairman, continuing, aslced But what will be Uie feelings created in tite minds of the public of the town if the Council put up a hospital for infectious cases of aoiotlier and a more "serious nature on the same site as the preseD t isolation hospital? The public would simply decline to send their patients to the isolation hospital. Mr Gamlin said he would agree "to the i natter being referred back on the understanding t,liat a meeting was held this week. This course was thereupon adoptiid. I Plans. The Road Committee reported having dispos ed of plans as follows :—New shop froD t at 7 Bedford Street, by Mr Lyne, reconsidered on resolution of I the Council, and now approvedi, conaent to be given' j in writing to the bringing forward of or addition j to the building beyond the front main wall of the house on the east side thereof alterations to houses and shopfj in High Street, by Air J H Percy, elevation improved as requested by the Committee, with whose approval the plans now met altera- tions to the|(J',jeen's Hotel, West Parade, by the Queen's Palaoe Syndicate, disapproved. t? Mr Ellis, referring to the latter, said the Road Comir.ittee had hardly had any time to go thoroughly into the question, and he would ask the Council to direct She Com- rnittoe how to act with regard to the plant', so that they could vhit the site of the hotel and thrash matters oirt there. Mr Ellis went on to state that lh ,^nJlc ate were very desirous that the Council nould apiprove the plans in time for the adj'ourned licensing sessions on Monday next, and he would be quit.,t.7 -eady to fall in with the suggestiou tihat in this mat ter the whole Council act as a comi nittee. This -course was agreed to, and on the foil owing ay the Council, after having met on the s, ite for newasideration of details, approved of the plans with certain alterations. This decision we a not h!»«Vj j.6 without a very animated and somi itimes neatfjd discussion.

Rhys Lewis at' Rhyl. We have nothing but praise for the company that performed Rhys Lowis on Thursday in the Town! Hall. It would have delighted the late Mr Daniel Owen, bad he been alive, to have sren how correctly and intelligently the actors saw the point of each piece of wit, and laid em- phasis on the one word necessary to illuminate the whole. 11 Rhy,, Lewis is not strong in dran.atic incidents—few dramatised novels are. It owes its popularity to the fact that it represents Welsh life accurately; in the words of one of its characters it is trne to nature." All the actions on Tluivsday were good, but of course all did not attain equ;ii heights of excellence. Mr J J Hughes, Bala, who took the two most difficult pieces in the play- those of Will Bryan and Tomos Bartey-wis everything that an actor should b«—"the action to the word, the word to the action he never overdid a single gesture or laid too much emphasis on any word. His advice to the young preacher, Rhys Lewis," to be true to nature, took the audience by storm, and again in Scene 4, Act 2. when Will Bryan is despondent and tells Rhys that he can never recover himself, be has taken his fling" beyond recovery, was in its way inimitable. Not content with his effort as Will Bryan, Mr J J Hughes also undertook the part of Tomos Bartley here he succeeded equally well. His experiences on the breeding of pigs was particularly well given. Mr Caledfryn Jones was entrusted with the part of Rhys Lewis. He bad learnt his long part well, and his articulation was most clear and distinct; but we hardly consider that he suffici- ently realised the character. Surely the friend of Will Bryan would have been more animated than the Rhys Lewis we saw ? Granted that a minister should be grave and decorous, but we saw Rhys Lewis before the idea of the ministry entered into his head. The short part of Bob Lewis was undertaken by Mr Hughes Jones, and very heartily he entered into the spirit of the play. We believe that bad Mr Hughes Jones and Mr Caledfryn Jones exchanged parts the caste would have been stronger. Mr D J Prico, Mr Owain WTilliamp, and Mr J M Edwards, in the characters of the Policeman, Student, and Professor respectively, were all that could be wished. The paits allowed them reallv DO opportunity to particularly distinguish them- selves. The most important women characters were undertaken by Miss Jones (Tremadoc), Mr Jack Thomas, and Mra T J Hughes. We par- ticularly congratulate Mrs Hughes on her success her Welsh was well spoken we liked it better than the Welsh of Miss Jones, which was too "bookish," not the Welsh one would expect to hear in a collier's cottage. We do not know who is responsible for the dramatic version of Rhys Lewis, but we wish the last scene of the play could be improved it lacks dramatic conclusion, All ends well, of course, for Rhys Lewis becomes the minister of Bethel, and Will marries Sus; but as far as we can see there never was anything to prevent them. We would suggest that Will Bryan should take Sus by storm he should come home; find Sus unwilling, but at the right moment he should produce his money, pay off his father's debts, and at the same time win the pity, gratitude, and hand of Sus.

Yaughan-Jones, M.A., Rector of T-egvnon, Montgomery, has been preferred by the Bishop of St. Asaph to the living of Mostyn, vacant by the preferment of the Rev Canon Griffith Jones to Marchwiel. Mr Yaughan-Jones was educated at Denbigh and Wolverhampton Grammar Schools. From the latter he entered Christ College, Cambridge, where, in due course, he graduated in honours. Being under age to take Holy Orders, be was for some time assistant master at a school in Scarborough. From here he was ordained by the late Bishop Hughes to the curacy of Wrexham. Here he remained for nearly eight years, being the co-adjutor of th3 late Dean Howell, and the present Vicar, Canon Fletcher. His .services were much appreciated by all classes, and he was especially successful amongst the young men and the children. When he left Wrexham he received numerous tokens of t h high esteem in which he was held by the parishioners. The Bishop of St Asaph preferred hinr to the Rectory of Tr<gynon, and during his resi(fence there, considerable sums of money have been raised by him for church purposes. Through his ecforts the church has been beautifully restored; the churchyard protected by an entirely new stone fene; a very fine organ has been placed in the church, and recently a handsome reredos erected in the chancel. The number of communicants has greatly increased during his incumbency, and there is au excellent church tone in the parish. The parishioners of Mostyn may well be congratulated upon having obtained such an energetic and acceptable clergyman. The new Vicar is a staunch teetotaller, and is often beard at temperance meetings.—Simultaneously with t.be offer of his Bishop came the offer of a desirable preferment in Monmouthshire by the Marquis of Afeergavennj. Mr Vaughan-Jones is a rative of Denbigh, and the only son of Mrs Vaughan-Jones, .P.ark House, and of the late Doctor Vaughan. J'aoeg, oi Festiniog- SYMINGTON'S 1 COFFEE ESSENCE fur* cotm.
