Un this subject the Road Committee re- ported as follows :—Mr Vaughan, junr., and Mr Roberts. Bedford-street, appeared before the committee to explain their views as to mixed bathing. The former opposed a stand on the shore west of High-street, and con- sented to withdraw his application in favour of Mr Roberts for a stand on the east shore, east of his stand. Mr Roberts pleaded for a east of his stand. Mr Roberts pleaded for a stand on the west shore, but agreed to have one on the east. After discussion, it was re- solved to tix a stand for Mr .Roberts for 12 vans for mixed bathing east of Mr Vaughan's cast staud-as a trial for the season of 1906 —subject to any regulations which the com- mittee may think fit to make for ensuring the comfort of the bathers. An Unexpended Loan. A letter was read from the Local Govern- ment Board enquiring the cause of delay in spending a balance of £ 225 5s of the loan of n £ 1.390 for street improvements in Victoria Road, K- c. The Surveyor stated that he bai saved that sum by using clinkers, &c., from the Electricity Works, and it was agreed that the Clerk apply to the Local Government Bourd for their sanction to spend the money on asphalting the Parade road or failing that, to apply for their sanction, to refund the money to the lenders, the Public Works Loan Commissioners. Plans. The Road Committee reported having dis- posed of plans as followcz :—Washhouse at rear of 45 Kinmel Street (amended), by Mr Daniels, J Elwy Street, approved enlarge- ment of washhouse and bedroom at rear of Hyfrydle. Russell Road, by Mrs Roberta, ap- proved tour dwelling houses in Butterton Road, by the West Rhyl Land and Building Co. (in lieu of previous plans), approved store room and pigeon loft at rear of 22 Aquarium Street, by Mr James Mills (previ- ously refused), allowed as a temporary build- ing for twelve months dwelling house and stable in Gamlin Street, approved subject to a covered manure pit being provided for the stable. Survtyors Monthly Report. In his report for the past month the Surveyor stated that repairs had been exe- cuted in Abbey Street, Vaaghan Street, and —-—-= I Market Street, 158 tons of stone being used. 109 hours 35 minutes of sunshine were registered in Rhyl from Jan 21 to Feb 24, an average of 3 hours 8 minutes per day. The groynes on the east foreshore had been repaired, and new groynes laid down. Several footpaths had been renewed, and others, fcr which notices had been served, were in the hands of contractors. An accident had occurred to the steam roller, the axle of the driving wheel snapping in two as it was travelling along Wellington Road. A new axle had been fixed and .the front wheels repaired. Repairs had been done to the pitching and paths at the Marine Lake. The making-up of the passages off West Parade had been completed and the street crossings repaved. The Road Committee reported that they had ordered a notice to be put up offering a reward of 10s for information of persons removing faggots from the shore. O CO Proposed Asphalting of West Parade Road. Having had under consideration a speci al report by the Surveyor on the above subject, the Road Committee recommended that the nsad be asphalted from Water Street to Sandringham Avenue, the estimated cost, £ 330, as against E240 if repaired with macadam, to be provided for in next year's estimates, or by devoting the t225 balance of street improvement loan thereto, subject to the sanction of the Local Government Board. Mr Tilby said he wished to make quite sure that this proposed expenditure was to be a part of the Road Committee's estimates for the coming year, and not a sort of supple- mental estimate. The Surveyor—This stretch of road will have to be repaired next year, either by macadam or asphalte as recommended. The adoption of asphalte will reduce the ordinary cost of road maintenance, and will in this case obviate the necessity of providing for macadam in the annual estimates. 0 In the course of further discussion the Vice-Chairmau remarked that the scheme now put forward had been contemplated for some years. As they were all aware, the dust nuisance on the front" daring the summer had given them much trouble. Before they asphalted the Promenade they suffered very badly from that trouble, but since the Promenade was asphalted the dust arising therefrom had been almost nil. Mr Tilby-I am not opposing the scheme of asphalting-I rather approve of it. The Vice-Chairman-And we feel the time has come when we should begin to extend this treatment to the Parade roads. Mr Tilby playfuily observed that the scheme afforded an irresistible chance of using up the unexpended balance of a loan. The Chairman—Exactly. Mr Ellis supported the recommendation, remarking that he felt sure the Council would never regret it, but would for ever be very grateful to the Road Committee for taking it up. Something would have to be done to the road in any case. The greater durability of asphalte had been proved over and over again, and the difference in the cost was a mere fleabite. He took it that it was the intention of the Road Committee to asphalte the whole of the Parade roads in sections. The expenditure of the Road Committee this year had been less than that of last year, and he was glad to observe that the committee tfere so well within their estimates (hear, hear). The Surveyor said that it would take a month to get the material ready, and nearly another month to lay it, so that if they were going to do anything in the matter no time must be lost, or the season would be upon them. Mr Perks said he supported the asphalting scheme on the assurance of the Surveyor that it would last longer and reduce the cost of maintenance. In order to ensure that the work would be done in the most satisfactory manner possible he hoped that the portion of road dealt with would be closed against traffic until the work was quite finished. The recommendation was then ageed to. 11 Breach of Bye-laws h The Surveyor reported a breach of the!; bye-laws by the conversion of a warehouse j off High Street into a dwelling house with- out notice having been given or plans de- posited. It was left to the Clerk and the Surveyor to take the necessary legal proceedings for dealing with the case. Quay Building at Foryd. A letter was read the Board of Trade, submitting plan of proposed quay extension works at Foryd by Mr W H Horton, and asking the Council for their observations thereon. The Road Committee reported that they could see no objection to the proposed exten- sion, provided Mr Horton does not get any harbour rights contrary to the Harbour Acts. The Clerk was instructed to return the plan, with a letter stating the views of the Committee, and particularly to assume that the Board of Trade will not overlook the objections raised against the proposed piles in the river. The Pumping Station Staff. The Sanitary Committee reported having dealt with a special report by the Sanitary Inspector upon the pumping station staff. They had resolved that- the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr Tom Jones be filled by the appointment of Mr Robert Hughes, sewerman, at wages of 25s per week, the junior sewerman to take his place at wages of 20s per week (at present in receipt of 19s), rising yearly by Is per week to the maximum of .£ 1 Is the vacancy thus created to be filled (by the choice of the Sanitary Inspector) by the appointment of a junior at the commencing wages of 16s per week, ris- ing yearly by Is per week to a maximum of £ 1 Is, providing the duties are satisfactorily performed. The Isolation Hospital: No Outsiders need apply. Miss Vizard, of the Royal Alexandra Hos- pital, having reported that she found that to carry on the nursing at the isolation hos- pital she must ask for an addition of £ ± a year to the sum of £80 now granted for the purpose. The Sanitary Committee recom- mended that the additional JE4 be granted. Mr A Lewis Jones having explained the matter, the recommendation was agreed to. A letter was read from Mr Chas Grimskv. clerk to the St Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council, as follows :—" The Council have been informed that you have recently en- larged your isolation hospital at Iowyn, and that you have accommodation for more cases than you are likely to require. Under the circumstances, I am requested to ask whether your Council would be prepared to admit in- fectious cases that may occur in this district and if so upon what terms." The Clerk was instructed to reply that the Council were not prepared to admit such cases, the hospital having been provided for their district alone. Medical Officer's Annual Report. The Medical Officer presented a volumin- ous report as to the health of the town during the year 1905. After dealing with the physical features and general character of the district and pointing out its natural ad- vantages as a health resort, Dr Lloyd went into details of the work accomplished by the Council. Touching upon the back passages question, he expressed pleasure that the Council had lately been taking very active steps to bring about a much needed improve- ment in that direction. He commended to the Council's serious consideration the question of taking steps to guard agaiust the over- charging of the sewers at times of heavy rain, and suggested, as one means of obviat- ing the possible unpleasant consequences of a storm, the diversion of surface water from the sewers. He alluded with satisfaction to the doubling of the town's water supply by the completion of the Dolwen reservoir, which, he pointed out, would do away with the necessity of pumping for water at even the driest periods. During 1905 there was an increase of six in the number of births as compared with the previous year,bringing up the birth rate to 22.54 per 1,000 of the popu- lation. The total number of deaths repre- sented a rate of 17.45 per 1,000, as compared with 18-91 last year, and deducting the deaths of non-residents the average worked out at 15.61 as against 17.14 for 1904. The Town s Water supply. Mr Wiuterbottom asked the Medical Officer if he was satisfied with the water re- ceived by the collecting tanks. The Medical Officer replied that the fact that the large water area under the control of the Council was absolutly free from any water-borne disease was the strongest possible evidence that the water was thoroughly satisfactory for drinking purposes, apart from any analysis. Another Water Loan Wanted. The Water Committee reported that the past month's output from the reservoirs amounted to 9,969,000 gallons, as compared with 9,033,000 gallons a year ago, represent- ing a consumption of 22-6 gallons per head per day for all purposes. On Feb 28th, the two reservoirs contained 76,000,000 gallons. A recommendation that the Clerk make application to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow £ 1300—the estimated amount required for the completion of the Dolwen reservoir—was adopted without comment. This is a loan which was contemplated some time back, but it was decided to defer the application until it was known what amount the plant would realise. Gas. The Gas Committee reported that it had been decided not to hold an exhibition this year, but to request the Cannon Iron foundries Co to open a show room for cook- ing stoves. The amount of gas consumed during February totalled 3,964,400 cubic feet. an increase of 91,800 feet, compared with the consumption twelve months ago. During the month, 1GG tons 14 cwts of coke were sold. Electric Light. The Electric Light Committee's report for the past month showed that there had been an output of 14,160 units of electricity, as against 12,059 units a year ago. The num- ber of connections to date were as follows :— Arc 114, incandescent 4866, motors 18— increase during the month, 12. The Electric Light Engineer reported that he had made enquiries in the Wellington Road district, and had learnt that several persons would take a supply of electric light were it available. He estimated the cost of extension of the cables as far as Warren Road at £300. Consideration of this matter was deferred till the next meeting. The Railway Service. The General Purposes Committee reported having had an interview with Mr L W Home, district traffic superintendent of the L & N W Railway, with respect to the train service. Several suggestions had been furnished to Mr Home, and in reply to these he announced certain concessions. With regard to the suggested improvements of the service from Birmingham to Wolver- hampton it was proposed to run the 4.10 p.m. train from Birmingham on Saturdays as well as Fridays next summer. It wa proposed to run a through train to Bettws 1 y-Coed during the summer, but the company could not agree to the Council's suggestion that passengers booked from Rhyl should be allowed to break the journey at Llandudno Junction. The question of the Preston, Colne, and Blackburn service was promised consideration and the company expected to improve the time-keeping of the 8-50 a.m. Chester to Crewe with the view of meeting the convenience of passengers from Rhyl. A note had been made of what was said about the winter service on the Bethesda branch, and of the Council's application for more stopping trains between Rhyl and Prestatyn. The service from Dyserth to Rhyl in connec- tion with the 8.44 a.m.' train from Rhyl to Liverpool and Manchester had been given. The company were negotiating with the North Stafford Railway Company for an improvement in both summer and winter services between Rhyl and the North Stafford line, and the question of issuing tourist tickets from Rhyl to the same places (as from Chester was also in hand. The questions of reducing the fare for tourist tickets from Chester to Rhyl, and of issuing cheap tickets daily from Mold, Chester and Wrexham, as well as week-end tickets from those places, were being considered. Mr Home could not hold out much hope of the 11-10 a.m. train from Euston stopping at Rhyl, but he had made a note of the Council's application. The committee ac- corded Mr Home a very hearty vote of thanks for his courtesy and careful considera- tion of their suggestions, and for the concessions he had been able to announce. Mr Ellis, commenting upon the interview with Mr Horne, said that although they did not get all they asked for, the increased facilities which had been granted or promised would be found to be very beneficial to the town. Mr Home received their suggestions very considerately, and he had no doubt would be granted more facilities next year (hear, hear). The Library Invitation to Mr. Carnegie: A Gift from Mr. W. J. P. Storey. The Clerk reported that Mr Carnegie had, through Mr Franks, Hoboken, New Jersey, promptly paid the first instalment of his pro- mise of £3,000, viz., £1,000 for the Old Bank and £300 on account of the contract for new work,— £ 15 above the Town Surveyor's cer- tificate. He also reported that he had sent Mr Franks a formal receipt, with the best thanks of the Council. The General Purposes Committee recom- mended the Council (1) to empower them to add to their number, from within and with- out the Council, persons willing to act to consider the best way of furnishing the Library, selecting books, &c. (2) to invite Mr Carnegie; most cordially, to perform the ceremony, or be present at the opening of the Library in August or early in September next. Both recommendations were agreed to, but not without a few observations by Mr J. Asher on No 1. He said he would like to support the constitution of the whole Council as a Library Committee. He objected very strongly to business ofsuch magnitude being delegated to the General Purposes Committee or a sub-committee com- prising outsiders. He wished that committee to be elected on thoroughly democratic lines, in accordance with Jaw. Mr Tilby pointed out that the committee proposed by the General Purposes Committee was not in any way a management committee —it would cease to exist after performing the duties specified. It was reported that the consideration of tenders received for equipping the library with a heating apparatus had been deferred, and that the Surveyor had been instructed to prepare a set of designs in connection with the furnishing of the library and to ob- tain tenders for the same in pitchpine and oak. Mr Clews, speaking as Chairman of the General Purposes Committee, said he had an interesting communication to make to the Council, and one which he was sure would evoke a hearty vote of thanks. The communication was to the effect that the High Sheriff (Mr W J P Storey) had very kindly and generously intimated to him that he wished to make a presentation of some pictures for the library when completed (applause). He was naturally very pleased to receive that communication, and he had no don bt that all his colleagues were very pleased also to hear it. They were indebted very much to the High Sheriff not only for that act of kindness, but for many other acts of generosity which he had conferred on the town of Rhyl, not only during his year of office as High Sheriff, but practically throughout his residence in Rhyl (hear, hear). They were deeply indebted to Storey for the generous support he had given to various deserving movements in Rhyl (hear, hear). lie proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Storey for his gift to b the library. Mr Ellis, in seconding the motion, said he cordially endorsed all that Mr Clews had said about their indebtedness to Mr Storey. He felt sure they thoroughly appreciated this act of interest in the work of the Council. They much regretted the termination of his year of office as High Sheriff-a period which would long be pleasantly remembered by all in the town—and they trusted it might come round again (hear, hear). The motion was agreed to. The Band Question. It was reported that several applications for supplying the town with a Promenade band next season had been received, and the General Purposes Committee recommended that the tender of Mr Wm Nicholls, Hands- worth. to supply a baud on the terms speci- fied by the Council, without a subsidy, be ac- cepted. A letter was read from Mr Peter Jones, Cheltenham—a colleague of the late Mr Gilding, who at one time ran a band here— declining to supply a band without a subsidy of £100. The Vice-chairman, in advocating the ac- ceptance of Mr Peter Jones' application, said it was damaging the town to bring poor-rate bands here. and he would rather consent to a subsidy of £100 in order to make sure of a band that would be a credit to the town. Mr Asher-How many instrumentalists does Mr Jones promise to bring, and how many does Mr Nicholls promise ? The Chairman—The same number. Mr Asher—And you suggest giving for what we can get for nothing. Mr Whitley thought the matter required further investigation and deliberation before being decided. Mr Tilby—Unless you are going to give a fairly substantial subsidy, you may as well give the gentleman recommended by the committee a chance. Mr Ellis supported the recommendation. and remarked that the fact that the band would come from Birmingham might result in it being better supported, seeing that so many people came to Rhyl from Birming- ham. Although the people had in the past clamoured so much for music, it seemed that they had contributed very little to keep it going. Mr T D Jones said it would mean the expenditure of a 2d or 3d rate to secure any-1 j thing like a decent band. Mr Clews having pointed out that so far the Council knew practically nothing about the bind recommended by the committee, it was agreed to refer the matter back to the committee with power to act, but not to vote any subsidy. Motor Car Traffic: A Stringent Resolution. The Road Committee reported having had under consideration applications for motor car licences for the forthcoming season. Mr Clews proposed, and Mr Winter- bottom seconded, that no licences be granted for motor cars for the season of 1906. Mr Perks proposed and Mr Tilby seconded that licences be granted a limited number of cars, and that two special stands be allocated to such cars, one between the Marine Drive and Conwy Street and the other on the open space opposite the Roman Catholic Church. On a division the amendment was lost by six votes to three, and original motion was car- ried by six votes to four. The Council confirmed the action of the committee without comment. Tha Sea Erosion and Pier Pavilion Questions. Mr J II Ellis reported that last week he attended a committee meeting in London on the question of sea erosion. The Committee urged the Government to appoint a Royal Commission on sea defence only. He also called, accompanied by Mr Tilby, at the Office of Woods and Forests with reference to the Rhyl Pier Pavilion. The deputation were promised that the question of the removal of the building and the carrying out of the scheme for a new pavilion should be dealt with promptly. Mr H A Tilby said that the Office of Woods and Forests was under the impression that the present proprietors were very anxious l to sell to the new syndicate, but his own opinion was that if the present proprietors were prepared to sell at a reasonable figure the > money would be raised at no distant date. The pier concern, as it stood to-day, was a r profitable undertaking. Alluding to the erosion question, Mr Tilby said that unless a Royal Commission was appointed to deal with that subiec first of all, Rhyl would be an island, and other places too, before the Commis- sion had got through all its work. Mr Ellis, he remarked, was looked upon as a leader among a body of leaders on this question. A vote of thanks was passed to Messrs Ellis aud Tilby for their services. The Clerk was asked to write to Mr Warhurst, re- presenting the Pier Pavilion proprietors, urg- ing him to remove the structure without de- lay. A letter from Mr Warhurst was read to the effect that he was assured by the architects to the syndicate that the construction of the new building would be begun very shortly. Council's Banking Arrangoment. In November, 1904, the Council agreed with the North and South Wales Bank to pay the bank a salary of £ t40 per annum, in return for which the Bank was to act as treasurer to the Council and to give the overdraft required with- out extra charge. The bank now asked that the overdraft be limited tu £3,000, and that interest be paid at 4 per cent on the amount of the advance to the Council beyond that figure. With respect to an amount of £1,86U borrowed on capital account, 4 percent interest was asked for until the Council obtained the consent of the Local Government Board for a formal loan of that amount. The balance against the Council, including the capital sum mentioned, amounts to £-1,>00 odd. It was recommended by the Finance Committee that the Council should agree to pay 4 per cent in- terest on the capital overdraft of £ 1,86;), but that in view of the fact that the general account of the Council is improving, and likely to im- prove, the salary of £140 should suffice for working the accounts of the Council for the three years from November, 1904, as seated in the bank's letter of that date, with the assur- ance that the deficit on revenua account should be reduced at the rate of at least £500 per annum. Mr H A Tilby suggested that the bank, al- though they had been informed of the] accept- ance of their offer of November, 19')4, had never written binding themselves to carry it out, and that they had now come to the Coun- cil practically repudiating the arrangement,and asking for better terms. He had no desire to haggle with the bank. He characterised the bank's proposal as unreasonable, and that of the committee as over-generous. The Chairman was afraid that if the matter I was going to be discussed in public it would be a very disastrous discussion. Other members agreed that the matter should not be dealt with in public. Mr Winterbottom said he was dead on the committee being given power to act in the matter. For one thing they never knew when the committee was going to meet, and as had often been the case, it might meet when he was away. The Chairman said that Mr Tilby had given a gross travesty of what took place at the inter- view. It was absurd to suggest that the bank would agree to the Council having an unlimited overdraft. Mr Tilby protested that there were members of the Council who stood up for the bank as against the Council. That was the cursed thing of the whole show. The Chairman That is a most improper ro- mark to make. Mr Tilby said that they ought to be united in getting the best terms possible. He did not care a hang about the bank, and he was under no obligation to them. An honourable under- standing had been repudiated. It was very odd that of the three members who carried out the negotiations with the bank in 1904 he was the only one who could say that the arrange- ment as entered on the minutes was correct, the Chairman and ex-chairman not being able to recollect that it was,although neither of them had pointed out that it was a mistake before. The Chairman pointed out that what was con- ceded by the Committee was a bagatelle com- pared with th'3 concession they had refused. Mr Tilby It is £50 a year. The Vice-chairman said he was quite free of the bank. and desired to be fair in the matter. The Finance Committee had acted in what they believed to be the interests of the ratepayers, without being unfair to the banks. He protested against the assertion that gentlemen came there to advocate the interests of the bank as against the ratepayers. It was a question whether they should pay 4 per cent. on the overdraft over £3,000. Mr Tilby said it was more than that. Mr Clews, while of opinion that they had no cause for complaint, asked if the committee should be authorised to ascertain the terms on which the other banks would take their account, all the circumstances being explained to them. Mr H A Tilby said he hardly thought that the time had arrived when they should con- sider the question of changing their bankers. It was decided to refer the matter back to the Finance Committee, who were asked to invite the other members of the Council to their meeting. £ S. d. The Finance Committee reported that the receipts for the past month totalled £362 3a od, the expenditure £::>29:> 10s lid, and the list of salaries, wages and bills for payment £4230 15s 2d. The Dredging Question. Mr Ellis said that while in London they made representations to Mr J H Lewis, M.P., in re- gard to the dredging operations in the Foryd, and Mr Lewis received them with every consi- deration. Mr Tilby said that the Office of Woods and Forests had entered into a binding agreement to execute a lease to Mr W Horton as soon as he carried out their requirements. It was a monstrous proceeding after they as a council had tried to buy the land and had been refused. He suggested that a full statement relating to the subject be forwarded to the Office of Woods and Forests and other departments, as the I Treasury might yet be able to intervene. The suggestion was adopted. z, I Threatened Action against the Council. The Chairman said that Mr Thomas Williams, Llewesog Hall, had made a claim for £ 519 damages alleged to have been sustained by the Council having constructed a sewer on his land off Grange Road. The Council decided to obtain legal advice upon the matter, with the view to an arbitration inquiry. Miscellaneous. It was reported that various applications for increased salaries had been deferred. With regard to Miss Ffoulkes' letter appeal- ing to the Council to provide a shelter at the station for drivers and outside porters, it was decided to ask the Railway Company to take thd matter in hand. Upon the application of Mrs Roebuck,it was decided to adopt the footway opposite 158, 16U and 162 Wellington Road. The Surveyor was authorised, upon application by Mr Thomas Gilbert, to put Gordon Avenue in a fit state for adoption by the Council, at the applicant's expense. It was decided to allow the Surveyor to take a second pupil, on the strict understanding that at the end of his term he was not to expect to be retained in the service of the Council. A letter was read from the directors of the Queen's Palace, with reference to the future working of the Palace. Mr Ashfield having at the last Council meeting expressed an opinion that the hours fixed for the evening perform- ances of the niggers might be satisfactory to his co-directors, the General Purposes Committee did not go further into the matter, beyond de- ciding to give every assistance in their power to make the Palace a success. Permission was granted to Professor Miller to give his doll performances on the front again next season. The Road Committee reported that Mr Trehearn had appeared before them to plead for the work of making good the back passage to Eytonhurst, Arc, to be delayed until next I winter, on account of the fact that three of the largest houses at the front, on the East Parade, were vacant, causing much loss to the owners, who therefore could ill afford to pay the cost of making the road. The Committee decided that they could not comply with Mr Trehearn's proposal. A letter from Mr W Bridge Williams re back passages between St Asaph Street and Conwy Street was referred to the Surveyor. Mr Hubbard's application for permission to erect a verandah opposite his shop at 53 Wellington Road was sanctioned for twelve months. Mr Hudson, the lessee of the Marine Lake, having called attention to the state of the asphalte in the lake enclosure, the Surveyor was authorised to repair the damage to the enclosure and to repair the asphalte on the stage, at a cost of about £15. It was also resolved that provision be made in the estimates for the ensuing year for repairing the pitching on the river side of the lake and for a flag- staff on the island, with a flag bearing the word Rhyl in prominent letters.
