St Asaph Board of Guardians FORTNIGHTLY MEETINC. THE WORKHOUSE BREAD SUPPLY LOOKINC AFTER THE FARTHINCS. THE HALF YEARLY BU DCET. -COMPLETION OF THE INFIRMARY. Ft-,i i,k Y. -Present Mr T Howes Roberts (chairman), Mrs Hubert Jones, and Messrs S Perks, J.P., Edwin Morgan, J.P, D Trehearn, Hugh Edwards, Isaac Batho, Jno Williams, Jno Roberts, R E Griffiths, Owen Rees, J Francis Jones, W H Hughes, Huh Williams, Jno Morris, Robert Jones, J Ellis Jones, W S Roberts, J Bennett Jones, Thos. Hughes, Rt. Griffith, David Roberts, Jno Evans, Wm. Williams, Jones, J.P., Mark Cross, with the Clerk (Mr Chas. Grimsley), Master (Mr Rt Jones), and Relieving Officers (Mrs Williams and Messrs J E Davies and Hd. Jones). Illness of Mr Kerfoot. The Board unanimously passed a vote of con- dolence with Mr Jno Kerfoot, one of the Abergele members, in his illness, on the pro- position of Mr Jno Williams, seconded by Mr Win. Jones. Mr J. H. Ellis' Absence. Mr Batho said Mr Ellis, of Rhyl, wished him to express his regret that he would not be able to attend that day's meeting. He had par- ticularly wished to be present, but he had had to arrange for his holidays at Harrogate. Mr J no Roberts Why doesn't he come here for his holidays ? He couldn't choose a better place. Resident and Visitors. According to the Master's journal, the pauper population of the Workhouse that day was 116, as compared with 117 a year ago, and during the past fortnight 195 vagrants were relieved, as against 247 last yea*. The Chapel Renovation Fund. The Master also reported the receipt of further subscriptions towards the cleaning and beautifying of the Workhouse chapel as fol- lows:—Colonel Mesham, Y,2 Mrs Mainvarin., Ri Is Mrs Fosbery, 91; Miss Gold Edwards, 10s Mr Jno Morris, 10s Mr W C Roberts, 108 6d Dr Henry Lloyd, 6s 6d Miss Williams, matron, 10s Nurse Hughes, 10s. The work, the Master added, was now done and paid for, and the account closed. Where are the Bettws Guardians ? Mr Robt Griffith said the Relief Committee desired him to call attention to the continued absence of the Bettws Guardians. It was not to be expected that Bettws affairs could be satisfactorily attended to if the representatives of that parish did not come and help them. Some explanation ought to be forthcoming from those gentlemen. Perhaps the Clerk could inform the Board whether they had disqualified themselves or not by their non-attendance. The Chairman I am afraid that remark will apply to a good many other guardians. The Clork said that Mr Parry was last present on May 5, and Mr Robt Davies on May 19. Mr Bennett Jones ..1\11' Parry has been laid up for some time as a result of an accident. Mr Grittith He has been about again some time. We want as Guardians people who take a thorough interest in the work. Mr Trehearn Let us hope that what has been said will have the desired effect. The Clerk said a strong hint on the matter had already been convoyed to the Parish Council. Tenders: Mr Trenearn and the Bread Supply. The Contract Committee recommended the acceptance of the following tenders for tho supply of groceries, &c, to the workhouse for the ne.\t half-year :—E B Jones it Co, bread l:d per lb, coffee Is lAd per lb, moist sugar 18s per cwt, loaf sugar zC I Os 6d per cwt, cur- rants 2 {d per lb, mustard 7 jd per lb. split peas 9s 9d per cwt, X X pale soap £1 Os 9d per cwt, paraffin oil G d per gallun.

Roberts » £ r Co, girls' woollen stockings Is G!-d per pair. W G Jones, St Asaph, women's woollen stockings 2s ld per 2 pair, swansdown 61d per yard. Densons, Ox- ford shirting oid per yard, blankets 5s 6d each. T P Hughes, regatta 5d per yard, flannelette 5: d per yard, coloured table cloth 2s lid per yard, boys' and men's mufflers 5d each, green rugs 8s 6d each. John Talbott, wrappering 3 t;d per yard, quilts 5s 3d each. Mr Trehearn said he understood there was a difference of a farthing per pound between the bread tender recommended by the Committee and the lowest tender sent in. Upon a calculation of 3L,0001bs, the amount estimated to be required during the half year, that meant a difference of 5s. lOd. Under the cir- cumstances he thought the committee had made a mistake in recommending the dearer bread. The Chairman It is merely a recommenda- tion at present. The Board may over-rule it. Mr Trehearn I quite understand that. Considering the quality of the loaves submitted to the committee, I think wa might wisely accept th;) lowest tender. I therefore propose that we accept the tender for bread at M per lb. A Member Will it be encouraging sweat- i ing ? M rTrehearn We are making a mistake in paying lid per pound for bread when we can get bread quite as good for d. A Member That is a matter of opinion. Mr Bennet Jones Are all the other tenders recommended the lowest ? The Chairman Yes, with the exception of the coal tender, I believe. The coal tender recommended is not, I understand, the lowest as far as price is concerned, but the quality is better. Mr Trehearn There are only two tenders for bread. In the course of further discussion Mr Trehearn pointed out that only fifteen-sixteenths of a penny per Ib was paid for the bread last year. Mr Hugh Williams The point Mr Trehearn has raised is a good argument for the Contract Committee meeting on Thursdays (hear, hear). We should then have more time to consider things. I The rival loaves having been examined by the members, Mr Jno Williams proposed that the recom- mendation of the committee be adhered to, his opinion being that it was the best bread and the cheapest in the end. Mr Batho seconded. Mr Ht. Jones, in supporting the recommen- dation, said he would be sorry to force upon the inmates bread different from that which he would have on his own table. Mr Hugh Edwards said he had had some experience of bread, and for his own part he would not hesitate to pay the farthing extra for the bread recommended by the committee. On a division the lower tender was accepted by 14 votes to 11,the voting being as follows:— For the lid bread, Mrs Rt Jones and Messrs Jno Roberts, Rt Griffith, VV B Roberts, J J? rancis Jones, Hugh Williams, W H Hughes, Rt Jones, b I'erks, L liatho, and Hugh Edwards for the ^d bread, the Chairman and IMessrs Bennett J ones, T Hughes, O Rees, J Ellis Rt Jones, b 1erks, L Brtlio, and R ugh Edwards (11); for the d bread, the Chairman aud Messrs Bennett Jones, T Hughes, 0 Rees, J Ellis f Jones, Edwin Morgan, Wm Williams,M Cross, Wm Jones, Jno Evans, D Roberts, D Trehearn Jno Morris, and R E Griffiths (14). The firm tendering for bread at cl per lb proved to he that of J E Price and Co. All the other recommendations of the com- mittee were adopted. The School Attendance Question. At the last meeting Mr Morgan informed the Board that the School Attendance Committee had been complaining that the attendance of the Workhouse children at school was not satis- factory, and a return of the children's attend- ance was called for. The Chairman now informed the Board that the return had been prepared, and he suggested that it should first be dealt with by the Vrisitiug Committee. 1 may say," he added, "we are not as bad as we appeared to be at the last meeting (hear, hear). I The Chairman's suggestion was adopted, and it was also decided to invite the School Atten- dance Officer to attend the Committee meeting. The Half-Yearly Budget. The Clerk stated that his estimate fer the ensuing half-year's expenditure had been con- sidered by the Finance Committee, and they recommended the adoption of his figures. The total estimate amounted to R9,416, as compared with £ 10,188 a year ago. The amount for Poor Law purposes worked out at an average of 4d in the R, which would realise £3"1:66. The amount required for county rate purposes was R6,322, or nearly double the amount for Poor Law purposes. The Chairman I think a note ought to be made of that fact. We are generally charged with extravagance, but these figures explain a great deal. Mr Rt Griffith We ought to change the name of our rate and call it the county rate. The Clerk further pointed out that the Flint- shire county rate amounted to lOd in the £ and the Denbighshire rate to 7id. The balances were rather larger than usual, and that ac- counted to some extent for the reduction of the total estimate. On the motion of Mr John Williams, seconded by Mr W S Roberta, the estmates were adopted, the "calls" being as follows £ £ Abergele Urban 452 Llannefydrl 1-42 Abergele Rural 740 Llanfairtalhaiarn. 192 Bettws-yn-Rhos .136 Llansannan 196 Bodelwyddau 240 Meliden 140 Bodfari 104 Prestatyn 560 Bylchau 1U8 Rhuddlan 556 Cefn 120 Rhyl .i>036 Cwm 144 St. Asaph 484 Denbigh 740 St. George. SS Dymerchion 184 Trefnant 168 Dyserth 248 Waen 88 Henllin Urban 380 Llanddulaa 140 .£9416 Llanfalr's Old School Board Aocounts. The Clerk said that in addition to the call just mentioned there was also due from Llanfair a sum of JE88 in connection with the finances of the late School Board. Mr Rt Griffith said that had they received promptly the money due to them from the Education Department the Llanfair School Board's indebtedness would have been cleared off long ago. The parish was not satisfied as to what the money was really wanted for, and they were waiting to hear from the County Council. When the "appointed day" came round the County Council had to take over the school just as a man took a wife, for better or worse—(laughter)—and if the bargain had not turned out to their liking it was their look-out. However, the parish was determined to have some explanation from the County Council on the matter. I Mr Trehearn Supposing you are not satis- fied with their explanation, will you still refuse to pay ? Mr Griffith We will consider that point afterwards. Mr Griffith added that as the Board of Guardians was the medium between the parish and the County Council they ought to take up the matter on behalf of the parish. It was decided to write to the County Cou ncil on the matter. Completion of the: Infirmary. The Finance Committee reported having had under consideration a letter from Mr James Hughes, the Board's architect, stating that the contractors had completed their work in con- nection with the infirinarmy, and the drainage of the buildings, and enclosing a statement as to the cost. As the architect had not yet had word from the County Surveyor as to the state of the road, the committee recommended the payment of £ 10 to Messrs Hughes and Williams, the sewer extension centractors, leaving A:8 12s retention money. With regard to the archi- tect's account for £91 6s, a payment of f.75 on account was recommended. It was also recom- mended that; the sum of £ 313 8s 9d due to Messrs Evans and Son in respect to the build- ings be paid, which would leave £29 14s retention money in respect to the drains. The report was adopted, on the motion of Mr Trehearn, seconded by Mr Hugh Williams. Tenders for furnishing the infirmary will be dealt with at the next meeting. A Sad Case. At the close of a lengthy sitting, Mr Batho gave notice of his intention to call attention at the next meeting to the case of a blind inmate named Robert Roberts, which he thought ought to be investigated. The Clerk He has been before the Board many times, and has been sent to several institutions. Mr Batho It is a sad case, and we might ascertain something new.

St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council, THE ABERCELE FOOTPATHS QUESTION. The monthly meeting was held at St Asaph Workhouse on Friday, under the chairmanship of Mr Wm Jones, J.P. The agenda was not of a very attractive character, and the business transactedwas largely routine. A letter was read from the St Asaph Parish Council in reference to an alleged obstruction of public rights of way by Mr Dugald Scott at Tower Hill. The Parish Council's case having been explained by Mr Millward, a committee consisting of the Chairman and Messrs Owen Rees, Rt Griffith, John Roberts, J D Jones, and Mark Cross was appointed to investigate the matter. Mr Crabbe, Clerk to the Abergele and Pensarn t'rban District Council, also wrote on the subject of pathway rights, and it was decided to inform him that the committee would make investigations on Monday. The Clerk presented his estimates for the snsuing half-year, and suggested that precepts similar to those levied twelve months ago be made. That would mean a rate of 6d in the E, as compared with a rate of 7d two years %go.—Agreed to. o A letter was read from Mr E W Griffith con- senting to grant a 21 years' lease of the site of the proposed sewer tank; at Trefnant, and a resolution of thanks was passed thereon. The Clerk stated that he had written to the Local Government Board with respect to the application of Mr Wynne of Garthowin folt. a., contribution towards his sewerage scheme, and I informed them of the Council's willingness to make a contribution subject to their ruling on certain points. I With regard to a letter from the County Council enquiring what action had been taken in the special report by Dr Whittakor as to the sanitary condition of Llanddulas, and threaten- ing to communicate with the Local Government Board unless something was done without delay, Mr Cross said he believed nearly all the recommendations of the doctor had been at- tended to. It was decided to reply to that effect. A letter was read from the Llanddulas Parish Council in reference to the question of scavenging, and drawing attention to the state of the roads in the parish and to the state of the bridge leading to the Railway Station. The Parish Council considered that as there were only some six or seven landlords affected it should be left to the owners to make their own scavenging arrangements until the drainage question was settled. After discussion it was decided to leave the matter in abeyance. The other matters complained of were referred to the Surveyor.

Drunken Assault Near Abergele. BRUTAL HUSBAND SENT TO CAOL. At Abergele, on Friday, a mason named Thomas Edward Williams, of Bryn Don, Pen- maen, near Old Colwyn, was charged with an aggravated assault upon his wife in the road leading to Llanddulas, at midnight on Wednes- day. Complainant stated that she was going home with defendant and their little boy in a cart. Shortly after some men who had travelled with them alighted. Prisoner, who was drunk, objected to the boy holding the reins, and ordered complainant and the boy out of the cart. He struck her with the butt end of the whip on the head. Complainant ran away, and prisoner went after her and ordered her back, dragging her along. She took the lamp from the cart, but prisoner took it from her and struck her with it. She was knocked down and did not know how long she remained partially stunned. Prisoner made her get back in the cart and again struck her on the side of tho head with the whip. Two men who had been called by her son prevented prisoner striking her fur- ther. When prisoner first struck her she screamed, but he put his hand over her mouth. She was bleeding profusely, and was taken to a house near by where her wounds were attended to. Prisoner's son said he saw his father strike his mother with the lamp, and he ran to the house, which was some little distance away, and asked for help. William Hollowell, coachman, said he got another man to accompany him, and they tackled the prisoner, who struggled violently, and was eventually tied hand and foot with the reins. Complainant was covered with blood and in a very exhausted condition. P.C. Manuel Davies said he found complain- ant covered with blood. Dr Hughes, who dressed complainant's wounds, said he had to put two stitches in one of two contused wounds on her head. Prisoner, who said he remembered nothing of the assault, which was caused by drink, was sent to prison for two months with hard labour.

In Praise of Rhyl. I AN ANCLER'S HOLIDAY. The "Fishing Gazette" gives a very readable descriptive account of a holiday spent by an" Amateur Angler," who made Rhyl his head-quarters from August 15th to Sept. 5th last and the following extract should be read with interest. Those of our readers who are interested in getting more of the better class of visitors inco the town might do good by purchasing copies of the Gazette of September 23rd, price 2d and judiciously circulate them. The London and North-Western RaUway C)rn- pany seem to take a special interest in North Wales, particularly in the seaside town of Rhyl. Their station at Rhyl is one of the finest in Wales, and would certainly compare favourably with most of the London suburban stations, especially those on the south of the Thames. It was in consequence of the special facilities offered by that company that wa decided to spend our holidays in Wales, Rhyl being the central point from which to explore the country round. After we had completed our arrangements for settling down there, we were comforted by being told t,hat Rhyl was not a desirable place to go to, that it was in a decadent state, etc. We did not find it so, quite the contrary it seemed to be in a very lively, animated condition,quite up-to- date with most of che twentieth century novelties in the way of electric lighting, motor cars, etc. 3 had comfortable lodgings on the parade, where we could see all that was going on east and west. On a really fine day down there,on the parade and on the sands are to be seen many thousands of people, seemingly all of one and the same class, very respectable and orderly. We saw no such thing as rowdyism all tho time we were there there was plentyof innocent flirtation among the girls and boys. One objection which some people make to Rhyl is that the tide recedes for about a mile and leaves the sands bare for that distance, but others seem to like it for that very reason then it is that they may be seen away off in the distance seeking shells, and precious stones which they never find, and with small fear of being caught by the inflowing tide. Everybody in Rhyl does the same thing at the same time. You will see the beach and parades covered with many thousands of people lounging on the sands, swimming from the bathing machines, and so on. Then there is the lecturer on phrenology and other kindred subjects for thu guidance of young men and maidens, who eagerly rush up to the platform where they are taugat to know themselves. The lecturer is always surrounded by hundreds of eager and respectful hearers, wonder- ing at the boundless knowledge displayed by him. Then there is a grand stand of minstrels charming an innumerable host; during the intervals of time between these performances Master Punch seizes his opportunity, and attracts as great a crowd now as he ever did hundreds of years ago then a ventriloquist with a pair of grotesque puppets affords must amusement. These are about all the attractions on the seashore. Always at five minutes to one these allurements are abandoned not a soul is left on parade or shore, all have gone home to lunch or dinner. At half-past two or three o'clock they begin to stream forth again, and the morning's performances are repeated. At five minutes to five there is again a clearance, and all Rhyl has gone home to tea; this takes up an hour more or less, and morning's and afternoon's performances are kept up till bedtime. This may be said to be the normal state of things, but a rough, cold, windy or rainy day upsets these delights, and indoor life is not exhilarating. This is, briefly, the kind of life as it is lived on the sands of Rhyl. One of the things one cannot help noticing there is the unusual number of exceeding pretty, plump, healthy little children, many of them perfect models of happy childhood. Rbyl has a pleasant reputation for innocent flirta- tion, and really this reputation can hardly be wondered at when one remembers that the immense majority of the girls one meets on the parade are extremely pretty, fresh and fascinating. I write, of course, as an ancient philosopher, but if I were young-let us pass on Rhyl's great attractions are not confined to its I shores the chief attraction to many of us is to get! cut of it, and to enable us to do this there are plenty.of conveniences. To say nothing of the various tourist and excursion rounds that Ithe London and North-Western Railway Company provides, there are numerous four-horse mail coaches and three-horse char-a-bancs that will take you anywhere and any distance up to thirty or forty miles a day, and into the most charming scenes to be found in Wales. On fine days these coaches are always crowded with passengers. On many occasions we availed ourselves of this means of seeing the country. The writer then proceeds to describe the coaching tours he took to Llanfair, Colwyn Bay, &c., and speaks of the "charming scenery he witnessed, "the glorious route," this most picturesque bit of wild country, which has not inappropriately been called the Switzerland of Wales." Though our friend experienced 1, changeful, fitful weather during the whole time," he appears to have been able to enjoy himself very thoroughly at attractive Rhyl.

Football. RHYL VICTORIOUS, HAPPY AND GLORIOUS. With Rhyl pitted against Wrexham in an English Cup tie, interest in Saturday's Combina- tion matches fell almost to zero. But we must dutifully chronicle what did happen in that sphere. The initial visit of Crewe Alexandra to Bangor under the Combination rules attracted a splendid attendance, but it was rather a disastrous event for the Bangor team. It only took the visitors five minutes to open their account, Oilier scoring a somewhat soft point. Approaching the interval Bangor were awarded a penalty against Jones, and Arridge converted. In the second half Cope let fly from a long range, with the result that the ball cannoned off the post into the net, and so gave Crowe the victory. > Broughton United visited Glossop and met a much superior side, who beat them by three goals to one. Birkenhead managed to score thair first goal and secure their initial victory of the season by beating Middlewich by two goal to nothing. This was chiefly the result of their superiority in the forward line, for the visitors had chances only to throw them away by weak play close to goal. The qualifying round of the English Cup compe- tition was advanced a stage on Saturday, with the matches in the preliminary round. It was unfortu- nate for Wrexham that they had a Birmingham League fixture to fulfil, for as a consequence they were only able to place a mixed team in the field to meet Rhyl at the Racecourse. The seasiders took advantage of their opportunity to enter the next round by scoring four goals to one, and on the play they deserved their success. Of course we sympathise with Wrexham, but their inability to rise to the occasion is their own look-out. Another visiting club to prove successful was Chirk, who accounted for Welshpool by five goals to three. They had the best of matters during the opening stages, but the home side rallied well towards the finish. Accrington Stanley had a day out at the expense of Nelson, the latter being routed by seven goals to nil, Dempsey, a promising forward, scor- ing the last five points. In the Wrexham v Rhyl match the visitors with the wind behind them pressed at the outset, and secured a couple of abortive corners. Owens put in a useful run towards the Rhyl citadel, but the backs got the ball away. Jones, at the other end, made a capital effort to score with his back t o the goal, kicking over his head. H Jones, when in Rhyl territory, effected a well-judged centre. This came to naught, but later on from a tine centre > by Parry, Hopwell Jones rushed the ball into the net. He was, however, ruled off-side. Play be- came brisker, and Ogilvie when hard pressed con- ceded a corner. Another time Jones ran out at a critical moment, and cleared. Rhyl afterwards attacked, and Kowland-Thomas tried to score with a header, but femith saved. Sam Williams lost a glorious chance by skying the leather over the bar. v 9 Rhyl pressed again, and just before Smith tried to punch away a shot from Jones, Thomas scored. After this Wrexham were aggresive and looked dangerous, Jones having to negotiate several shots. Half-time.—Rhyl 1, Wrexham nil. The second half opened in favour of Wrexham, who at once taxed their opponents' defence. Rhyl's left wing, however, broke away, and T Roberts essayed a goal with a slow ground shot. Smith stooped to clear, but the ball rolled between his hands into the net. Wrexham pressed hotly, and Rhyl's custodian was all but beaten. Then Khyl got down again, and T Williams scored a third goal. Dick Williams scored for Wrexham. Lively end-to-end play followed, and at length Rhyl again got the upper hand, and once more finding the net they secured a well-deserved victory by 1 goals to 1.

Mother's Successful Plea. YOUNG MAN LENIENTLY DEALT WITH. Though described by Inspector Pearson as one of the worst characters in the town, a young fellow was dealt with very leniently at Rhyl Police Court on Monday. Frank Boydell (29), 4 Vale View Terrace, Mill Bank, ap- peared in custody befere Messrs W Elwy Williams and G A Tavorner to answer three charges—drunkenness and disorderly conduct at Mill Bank, and assaulting P. S. Roberts and P.C. Foulkes while in the execution of their duty, on Saturday night. He admitted the drunkenness, and denied the other charges. P.C. Foulkes stated that he found defendant lying across the parapet opposite the Victoria Hotel in a very drunken state. Witness helped him to his feet, but he did not seem very grateful for his assistance and went off using very bad language and threats. A gentleman shortly afterwards complained to witness of defendant's conduct, and on going up to him again witness was regarded with a blow in the face for his trouble. Defendant's subsequent conduct was more like that of a madman than anything else. Witness closed with him, and with difficulty got him as far as Vale Road bridge. There he became so violent that P. S. Roberts had to render assistance. Altogether it took four persons to get defendant to the Police Station. His language on the way was horrid. Defendant said the constable pulled all the buttons off his shirt, and almost choked him. He was not given a chance of going along by himself. P. S. Roberts stated that for his intervention he came in for a hard kick on the leg and two kicks in the stomach. Defendant also tried to bite. Friendly advice was of no avail. Defendant said that if the Bench would give him a chance he would return to his work at once, and not touch the drink in future. The Chairman If it affects you like that you ought to have given it up before. Inspector Pearson said defendant was a perfect nuisance, and was in a scrape three or four months ago. Defendant's mother said he had never been the same since he went out to South Africa. The drink always played on him. Defendant's sister: It is only when ho is in beer that he gets a bad character. The Chairman He should keep away from it. Defendant I will sign the pledge at once. The Chairman said that had it not been for his mother defendant would have been sent to prison without the option of a fine. He had already incurred zEl Os 8d costs. He had been guilty of very serious conduct, but out of sympathy for his mother he would be tet off with a tine of 10s and 6s 8d costs for the drunkenness and disorderly behaviour, with the alternative of 14 days' hard labour. Defendant asked for time for payment, but Inspector Pearson said it was a request to .vhich he ought not to consent, for defendant was one of the worst characters in the town. The matter was left in the hands of the Inspector.
