When I sav that the present Board has very im- portant work to do before it becomes defunct, I do not refer to the vexed question of the drainage, and other like matters, which I thick can with advantage be handed over to its successor (the District Council); I refer move parfic- ulary to the Constitution of District Councils, and the formation of the New Districts, and Elect- oral Divisions, and the boundaries thereof which will be of vital importance to the town of Rhvl. The present Board will have to concentrate its entire power and wisdom upon these and many other subjects too numerous tu mention here.

A COMPLIMENT TO THE ASSISTANT OVERSEER- The Chairman said that the first business was the nomination of overseers, two being required for the urban ward and two for the rural ward.. Mr W. Bell said that the usual course was for the retiring overseers to name gentlemen to tam/^Henry C6Parry said that Mr Joseph Williams, Alexandra Hotel, and himself were the retiring officers for the uiban wai y had held that position for three years, and this year they had made up their minds to re- tire. y Mr Williams and himself had considered the question of their successors suggest the names of Messrs C. J. Wain, y, J. Roberts, ironmonger, and W. William., summerfield. He (Mr Parry) desired to sidd that during the time he had hel £ L had had no trouble whatever. The Assistant Overseer kept his books very^correctly, and the auditor had told him (Mr Pa^ry) accounts were correct to a several times expressed his aPPrec>at on (, the efficient manner m which the accounts were keiit bv -Air Rowlands (hear, hear).

Morris, Hendre, T Davies Pontfaen, and John Lynon, Heilas, were nominated for the Rural Ward the re- tiring overseers. Messrs L; Payne and Owen Williams, not seeking re-election. ELECTION OF WAYWARDENS. The vestry clerk intimated that he had re- ceived a letter from Mr Charles Gnmsley, re- minding him that by a recent order of the Court of Quarter Sessions, waywardens were to be appointed for the whole parish instead of one for each township Mr Bell: How many townships are there i The Vestry Clerk Nine. The following gentlemen were elected for the parish, viz, Messrs W. Smith, Merllyn J. B. Linnell, J. L. Drummond. VV. Bell, L Hughes. Pontygwtter, T Davies, Pontfaen, R. Morris, Hendre Williams, Penyffordd; and W. Conwy Bell. THE BOUNDARY COMMISSION- The Vestry Clerk read a letter received from the secretary to the Boundary Commis- sion, Gen. 0. Jones, intimating that an inquiry will be held at Denbigh to consider the proposed alterations m the boundar es as affecting the St Asaph Union. JJj PHNNO-P affectin^ that parish was the .locution to t^e county° of Flint, from the county of Denbigh^ of that portion of Foryd as .s at present within the District of Rhyl. The Vestry Clerk said he was going to attend the meetino- on behalf of the Rhyl Improve- fne, "Commissioners, who offered noobg™ to the proposed change, and if the estry desired he would also intimate on their behalf that tliev had no objection to oner. It was^resolved that Mr Rowlands should do THE PAUPERS' LIST. The Vestry Clerk said that he had received the list of paupers of the Parish of St. Asaph, lith the view of the Parishioners going ovei it, but he had omitted to bring it with hi ^Mr^Henry Parry said he had been over the lists He knew almost the wflole of paupers, and believed they could have no °^efetryhaerk said the object in vie. was to ascertain from the Pansh,oners, yhethei the persons stated to be m receipt ot lehet^were living and receiving the relief, so as to pie\e possibility of a similar thing that happened the case of a relieving officer at Bangor occui- ln^Ir W. Bell thought they should have at least half-a-day to go through the list, as it was a very important matter. Mr Chas. W. Bell said that at the last election he had seen cases where persons who had been in receipt of parish relief of only a shilling, had not been placed on the list of voters, whilst the names of people who bad been receiving relief for about 12 months had been retained. It was resolved that the Guardians for the parish be asked to visit the pay stations as often as possible, and see that the relief was properly dispensed. THE RETIREMENT OF MR. T. WINSTON FROM THE BOARD OF GUARDIANS. Mr W. Smith asked whether that was not a fitting opportunity to move that a vote of thanks be accorded to Mr ^T. Winston for his service as guardian for so many years tor that parish (hear, hear). A motion expressing regret at the reasons which compelled Mr Winston to retire, and a vote of thanks tor his faithful services as guardian for a period extending over many years was unanimously carried.

I GRAND FOOTBALL COMPETITION AT ST. ASAPH. On Easter Monday, a grand competition for 22 silver medals offered by the St. Asaph Football Club took plce on the Elwy Grove Park. The event excited unusual interest in the district, no less than 15 clubs having entered. Some two or three years ago football i,1 +his locality was in full swing, and the district cuuld boast of possessing some of the best teams in Wale?, not the least for- midable amongst which was the famous Rhyl Club, but now there are ouly but few clubs existing, and I those of a very inferior description. The rich Eng- lish clubs have weeded away frorr the principality all the crack football-players, either by finding them more remunerative employment in their im- mediate neighbourhood, or by engaging them con- stantly to play for their respective clubs, and this accounts to a great extent for the falling off of the Welsh Clubs; but competitions similar to that whieh took place on Monday will undoubtedly tend great- ly to resuscitate the favourite old English pastime in our midst. The meeting on Monday had been extensively advertised by the St. Asaph committee. and although it could not be said that the day was bv any means fine, there was a large iufiux of visit- ors to the city, the majority of whom came from Rhyl. At one portion of the day there were fully 1500 people present on the field. All the teams who had entered came up to scratch. THE FIRST ROUND. I Punctually at 9-30, the first tie in the first round was commenced; the competitors being the Rhyl Colts and the Denbigh Rovers, 2nd;team. The game was of a very one-sided description, the Rhyl team having all the best of the game, and when half- time was calied the score was Rhyl one goal, Den- high nil. On changing ends the game assumed a still more one-sided complexion, and the Rhyl team obtained two more goals and three corner kicks, to their credit, and so passed into the second round by three goals and three points to their opponents nil. The following oonstituted the Rhyl team :-Goal, Geo. Micklewright; full backs, Charles Jones and J. L. Roberts; half backs, Tom Vaughan, W. Vaughan, and T. Smythe forwards, T. Davies, D. Pritchard, H. Middleton, E. Middleton, and J. Davies. SECOND TIE St. Asaph v. Holywell Colts. There was nothing specially interesting in this tie the St Asaph team maintained the upper band through- out, and came off their tie by two goals and one poiut to their opponents' nil THIRD TIE: Khuddlan v. Mold Wanderers. Like in all other prize competitions, those taking an in- terest in this event had their favourites, and the form displayed this year by the Mold team, both in ordinary matches and the cup competitions, had made them warm favourites with the football frat- ernity and by general consent they were looked upon as the probable winners of the medals. It was the fortune, good or bad, of the Rhuddlan. upon as the probable winners of the medals. It was the fortune, good or bad, of the Rhuddlan. team to be pitted against this formidable club. Dis- mal prophets prophesied an ignominious defeat for the ret resentatives of the ancient borough but they reckoned without their host, for immediately play had commenced it was at once apparent that the Rhuddlan team was one by no means to be de- spised the play was fast and furious and the ex- citement intense. After about 10 minutes hard play, the Rhuddlan team made a combined rush for the Mold goal, and to save his charge, one of the Mold backs had to concede a corner, Rhuddlan thus scoring the first blood. The corner, although the ball was well placed, proved abortive, and the Mold forward s,lba via g obtained possession of the.ball, paid a visit to the Rhuddlan citadel, but Thompson and Corrie were impassible. Half time was called with Rhuddlan one point to the good. In the next half the Moldovians tried hard to equalize, but their efforts were without avail, nnd when time was called, the Rhuddlan team amid loud cheers were declared I winners of their tie by one point to nil The fol- lowing constituted the Rhuddlan team -Goal, W. Glisse; full backs, Edwin Thompson and F. Cor- rie half backs, W. Jones and John Griffiths; left wing, W. Roberts and Wm. Henry Hughes cen- tre, R. Hughes; right wing, R. O. Jones and Richard Williams. FOURTH TIE Denbigh Athletic v. Bagillt Jolly Fellows. In this tie the Denbigh men had all through the best of the game, and won by one goal and four points to nil. ou FIFTH TIE; Holy well town v. Col wyn Bay. In this tie Colwyn Bay ware declared victorious by 2 goals to their opponents' 1 goal and 1 point. SIXTH TIK Adwy Maelor Wrexham v Corwen. Result: Corwen 3 goals and 2 points, Wrexham nil. SEVENTH TIE Gwydr Rangers, Llanrwst v Den- bigh Rovers, 1st team. This was the last tie in the first; round, and the Llanrwst men asserted their superiority over Denbigh by three points to one. A BYE: Mold Albion. THE SECOND ROUND. Previous to the draws for the second round taking place, Denbigh Athletic lodged a protest against Llanrwst, on the ground that they ha.d played two Rhyl men. The protest was however over-ruled. FIRST TIE: Colwyu Bay v Mold Albion. After an extra ten minutes play Mold were declared win uers of the tie by one point to nil. SECOND TIE: Rhyl Colts v Rhuddlan. This match proved certainly to be the best played during the day, and a grand exposition of the game was witnessed. Immediately after the kick-off the Rhuddlan team took the ball to the Rhyl quarters, but Vaughan returned, and the Rhyl forwards obtaining possession of the globe took it towards the Rhuddlan end. Middleton made a good shot for poal but the ball went behind. From this time the ball remained for several minutes in the Rhud- dlan quarters, the Rhyl forwards made several magnificent shots for goal, but owing to the grand play of the custodians, and Thompson and Corrie at back, they proved futile. After some farther plav in the Rhuddlan goal, the Rhuddlan forwards broke j away and by a combined rush took the sphere to the Rhyl goal, Vaughan in attempting to return the ball, unfortunately gave the Rhuddlan team a corner. Half-time was called soon after with Rhud- dlan one point to the good. In the last half the play was very even, Rhyl tried bird to equalise but all their efforts proved abortive. Their was very little to choose between either teams, the Rhyl for- wards were decidedly superior to those of the Rhud- dlan team, whilst the backs of the latter club. were far better than the backs of the former, and the re- sult of one corner kick to nil is a fair indication of the difference between the two teams. THIRD TIE St. Asaph v Llanrwst Gwydr Ranges. The play in this tie was of a very even character, the teams being evidently well matched. St. Asaph however gained the ascendancy by one corner kick T0 FOURTH TIE: Corwen V. Denbigh Athletic. Cor- wen won by one goal and one corner kick to a cor- ner kick. THE 1HIRD ROUND. FIRST TIE Mold Albion v Corwen. Corwen won by one goal to one point. SECOND TIE: Rhuddlan v. St. Asaph. The ex citement in this tie was naturalty great. In the first half of the game St. Asaph had decidedly the best of the game, and scored a goal from l eorner kick. In the last half Rhuddlan had the best of the wlay, and from a fine run by Hughes a somewhat fluky goal was scored, the ball going right through the goal-keeper's hands. No further point was scored before the call of time, and the St. Asaph men claimed the match on account of having scored a corner kick more than their opponents. Rhuddlan objected to the tie beiDg awarded to St. Asapn. maintaining that a corner kick after being converted imto a goal did not count. After playing an extra twenty minutes, Rhuddlan managed to secure a corner kick and accordingly passed into the FINAL TIE: RHUDDLAN WINS Corwen v Rhuddlan. The final tie was played in almost entire darkness. In the first half of the g-ame the Corwen men scored one point to nil, but soon after the commencement of the last half Rhnd- dlan managed to put the sphere through the posts ..nl1 su'.eordinsrlv won the medals, the Second 8-t being awarded to the Corwen team. The Rhuddlan team are to be congratulated on their sucoces, they I nlaved grandly throughout, and carried the day by their sheer dint of good play truly fortune favours the brave, and when it is remembered that Rhud- dlaa in the first round succeeded in ousting the favourites, no one will begrudge them their well earned victory, but, will, on the contrary, rejoice in their success. It is only to be hoped that the team will cont;nue to practise, and if it only does so it will become one of the best in the Principality. A word of eLCOuragemeut is also due to the Rhyl team, they played their ties pluckily, and their ex- cellent playing gave ample evidence that they are the making ot Ii good club. Play up Rhyl! It is your turn next. The referees were B. Heaton and C. W. Bell, Eqs., and their decisionslgave general satisfaction. The arrangements were perfect, and great credit is due to Mr Peter Jones, the euergetic secretary, for the admirable manner in which he conducted them and to his efforts is principally due the great succes that attended the first football competition in St. Asaph. In the evening a grand ball was held at the Plough Hotel, St. Asapb, when there I was a fairly large attendance.

EASTERTIDE AT RHYL. Eastertide at Rhyl passed off in te usual qui-t manner and with the exception that Good Friday and Easter Monday were obseived as a general holi- day, there was nothing to distinguish it from any other season of the year. The influx of visitors to the town was very small, as was also the exflux. There was nothing provided in the form of any special at- traction, and the exceedingly unpropitious weather prevented the holiday-makers from taking even as much as a pedestrian exercise. GOOD FRIDAY dawned with a drizzling rain, which continued more or less throughout the greater part of the morn- ing, and at inteivals during the day. The disagree- able state of the weather naturally kept people in- doors, and it was not until about noon that it was made manifest that it was a general holiday. The weather being a little finer about this time, advant- age was taken of the change by a large number of people to take a walk along the Promenade. About [2.30, a large crowd of people had congregated at the wall at the extreme west of the Promenade, watching the high tide, which at times washed over the walls The chief event of the day was the ANNUAL DEMONSTRATION OF THE RHYL UNITED BANDS OF HOPE. This annual festival still remains as popular as ever with the youngsters of the town, and it is looked for- ward to with eagerness weeks beforehand by the little ones. This year, as usual, a procession of the united Bands of Hope, headed by the Rhyl Brass Band, paraded the principal streets of the town but unlike previous years, there was no united meet- ing held in the evening. The members of the differ. ent Bands of Hope were regaled at their respective schoolrooms with the customary tea. The procession started from the Town liall at I o'clock, and was watched with great interest by large concourses of people as it wended its way through the different streets. The smiling and happy countenances of the little ones, as they waved their attractive flags and Dinners, presented a striking and pleasing appearance. The following was the order of the processirn The Band. Ministers and friends, Clwyd Street Band of Hope, Queen Street BAnd of Hope, Zoar Band of Hope, Bethel Band of Hope, Welsh Baptist Band of Hope, English Presbyterian Band of Hope, Warren Road Band of Hope, English Weslcyan Band of Hope, Christ Church Band of Hope, and Brunswick Band ot Hope. The route of the procession was from the Town Hall along Wellington Road, down High Street, along Brighton Road, through Churton Road to Olinda, where they assembled on the lawn and san^ a hymn, according to the custom which has been observed for several years. The procession having once more been arranged in marching order, proceeded along Russell Road, up Bath Street, along the Parade, down Water Street to the Town Hall, where the procession was dispersed, each Band of Hope going to its respective schoolroom, where the members were provided with tea. We have not heard of either of the several Bands of H Jpe having held any meetings in the evening, with the exception of the BRUNSWICK BAND OF HOPE. gtiie members of the Brunswick. Welsh Wesleyan Band of Hope were provided" ith a well prepared tea. After the children bad done ample justice to the tea, a number of friends also sat down to a well laid repast. The ladies having the management of the tea were Miss Jones, 1, East Parade, and Mrs R. Williams, High-street and the ladies having the responsible charge ot cutting the bread and butter; &c., were Mrs Ellis Evans, West Parade Mrs Davies, Sussex Lane; Mrs H. Davies, East Parade Mrs Williams, Bedford- street Mrs H. Evans, Edward Henry-street and the ladies presiding over the tables were Mrs Davies, Greystone Villa; Mrs Williams, Queen-street; Miss C. Williams. Summerfield Miss Littler. Abergele Mrs & Miss Llwydwyn Jones, Gwalia House Mrs Mary Thomas, Victoria-road Mrs Hughes, do. Mrs Jones, Brunswick Villa Miss Evans, Carnarvon Mrs Jonei, Caradoc Villas; Miss Williams, High-street; Miss Williams, Llangefni; Misses Hughes, Kinmel-street; Mrs Thomas, 42, West Parade; Miss Owen, Crescent terrace Miss Williams, Bodonwen; Miss L. Davies, Sussex Lane, and Miss S. Edwards, Plastirion terrace. The superintendent was Mr James Davies, Gwynfa Villa, and the secretary (Mr W. M. Williams, Queen-street). Mr Hugh Evans. Edward Henry-street; Mr Williams, Bedford-street; Mr J. 0. Jones, and a, number of energetic young men rendered valuable assistance in numerous ways. In the evening a meeting was held at the schoolroom, when an interesting miscellaneous programme was gone through. The chair was occupied by W. Williams, Esq., Summerfield. After a few but appropriate remarks from the chairman, Mr W. M. Williams delivered his adjudication on the works received on the life of Daniel the first prize was awarded to Mr Robt. Thos. Jones (Ap Llwydwyn), and the second to Mi- Edward Thomas. Iago Tegeingl afterwards delivered his adjudication upon the best writer of the 23rd Psalm, and awarded the prize to Robert Jones, Boston Place. For the best rendering of a solo (the chairman being the adjudicator) the prize was divided between Misses Ann Jane Evans and Ann Sarah Edwards A temperance concert was after- wards held under the direction of Mr J. Pierce Lewis, the piece performed being Charles Carson." The accompaniment to the piece was played by Miss Lizzie Davies, Gwynfa Villa, and Mr W. M. Williams, between the different solos and choruses, read the explana- tory portions of the programme in order that the audience might be informed upon the nature of the work. Marked ability was displayed by Miss Pritchard, Miss Ann Jane Evans, and Lewis Edward Thomas, in the performances of their respective parts. The efficient and perfect manner in which the singers took their parts demonstrated the fact that much trouble and labour had been spent in their training and the whole praise for the success of the representation is due to Mr J. Pierce Lewis, the energetic leader of the choir. After a performance of upwards of three hours, Iago Tegeingl was called upon to propose a vote of thanks to the chairman, and to all who had rendered services in connection with the undertaking, and particularly to Mrs Foulkes, Albert Villa, for her kindness in decorating, at her own cost, the schoolroom with a large number of beautifully illuminated bannerettes and mottoes, and which had greatly adorned the room. He also read an englyn which he had composed in eulogy of Mrs Foulkes for her kindness and generosity at all times. The motion was seconded by Mr Thomas Evans, Coal Merchant, put to the meeting and carried with acclamation. A congregational hymn having been sung. the audience dispersed, everyone being apparently pleased with the meeting. SERVICES. Services were held on Good Friday at St. Thomas' Church, Trinity Church, and at the English Wesleyan Chapel. At the latter place the Rev. David Jones, Prestatyn, preached to a fairly large congregation, and delivered a sermon suitable to the season of the year. It was a «ermon marked bv originality of thought. a fairly large congregation, and delivered a sermon suitable to the season of the year. It was a oermon marked bv originality of thought. and clothed in choice yet simple language, and delivered with surprising fluency. St. Thomas' Church had been beautifully decorated, and presented a charming and effective appearance. The lectern had been decorated with great skill and taste by Miss Townshend, the font by the Misses Wright, and the pulpit by Mrs Ll. Lloyd. In the morning the Rev. Clement Davies conducted the service, and the Vicar (the Rev. T. Richardson) delivered an eloquent discourse. In the evening there was a very large congregation, the Rey. Clement Davies conducted the service and also preached an able and impressive sermon. On Easter Sun- day a communion service was held at 8 o'clock, and the Rev. Clement Davies preached both morning and evening, being. assisted by the H. J. Cooke. EASTER MONDAY. Easter Monday was considerably more agree- able aa regards the weather than Good Friday, still it was :by no means as fine as holiday makers would desire it to have been. There was a fairly large number of visitors to the town, and a large number of people left Rhyl to witness the football competition at St. Asaph. In the evening the Rhyl Brass Band played for dancing at the Winter Gardens, and succeeded in drawing a goodly number of people there. A troupe of minstrels from Birkenhead also gaye a performance at the Town Hall.

RHYL IMPROVEMENT COMMISSIONERS. A PROTRACTED MEETING-SITTING FROM 3 TO 11. MONTHLY MEETING. The monthly meeting of the Rhyl Improvement Commissioners was held at the Board Room, Town Hall, on Tuesdav (it having been adjourned from the previous day), when there were present—Messrs Thos Ellis (in the chair), A. L. Clews. G. A. Taverner, Ll. Lloyd, M.A., J P., R. D. Roberts, Jos. Williams, G. F. Gunner, W. J. Kent, H. J. B. Lawrence, M. D. Roberts, Jno. Roberts, J. Frimston, Dr. Carstairs, W. Wynne, J.P. The minutes of the last monthly meeting were read and confirmed. THE PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF THE COUNTIES OF DENBIGHSIIIBE AND FLINTSHIRE. Mr Ll. Lloyd said that upon the minutes just read it would appear that at the last meeting a, resolution opposed to the amalgamation of the two counties was lost, and an amendment approving of the amalgamation of the counties was also lost. It might be interesting to the members of the Board to know that at the Court of Quarter Sessions, held that morning, a resolution was passed deprecating any amalgamation of the two counties by 19 votes to 4 (hear, hear). THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The following is a summary of the Surveyor's monthly report: — Crfndy lload.- The fence belonging to Mr J. Williams has not been removed and set back as per agreement. Tynacydd Piad.-This morning I received a notice from Mr Peter Browne that he was re-con- strusting a boundary fence within the area of the town district. I presume the notice to refer to the Tynewvdd Road, the centre of which forms the limits of your district. I viewed the site, and found that the old cop had beeii..built with sods in places, and that the eeaward end had been fiuished at right angles, and not with a curve similar to the old fence. The grass surface of the road has been broken tip in places, and in other parts it is im- passable for carts, owing to heaps of sand. These two latter items however, I understand from the tenant of the adjoining jand, will be put right. I have not yet communicated with Mr Browne. As a portion of the land through which a part of the road leads I understand belongs to the Crowr, I would respectfully suggest thit the question of wideuing the road, to say 30ft., to join the Marine Drive, be submitted to the Crown authorities. I may state that, according to the ordnance map, the road is shown as over 30ft. wide from centre to centre of hedges, and on the Rhyl township map it is 20ft. in the clear. THE GROYNE AGAIN DAMAGED. The following post script was added to the Town Surveyor's report Groyne —During the early tide this morning a portion of about 45 jards in length of the groyne was washed away by tile sea. The breach extends from a point about tO yards from the sea end of the groyne, and it should be repaired without delay. The e,timated cost of reinstating the damaged portion id X20. I may state that the question of constructing this groyne in a more permanent manner could with advantage be now considered, as the utility of the works has been well established. Mr G. F. Gunner moved that the Surveyor's report be referred to the different committees. With regard to the groyne, the Surveyor had said that it had now established its utility. He (Mr Gunner) maintained that the groyne had just established what he had all along contended, viz., the fully of putting 3ft stakes into the groyne. If proper stakes had been driven in at the beginning the groyne would have assumed a more permanent position. Mr R. D. Roberts seconded. Mr Kent: What are we f o sideriog r The Chairman That Wf1 receive the report of the Surveyor, and that the different subjects be re- ferred to the different committees to which they belonged. Mr Kent But about this groyne that wants to be repaired at once. Ho thought it most extraor- dinary that the t-nrveyor should say that the groyne had manifested its utility by being washed away. He wished to know whether they were going to eanction any further expenditure of money. The Chairman said the matter would come before the Board again. After a further protest by Mr Kent against spending any money on the groyne, Mr Richard Jones said that no portion of the groyne had beeu constructed without first obtain- ing the opinion of the Surveyor. They all held a high opinion of their Surveyor, and he had all along had the charge of the construction of the groyne. The groyne, he maintained, had answered its purpose. It had prevented the river from coming along the shore, and thus prevented that beautiful sand from being washed away, and had protected and greatly improved the bathing ground. If anything further was proposed to be done to their groyne, they might depend up.in it that nothing would be done without first consulting- Mr Hughes. Mr Kent: That won't do-- Mr Richard Jones You have spoken before. Mr Kent, continuing, you will be good enough to bring your knowledge tj bear when the matter is under discussion. If the Committee spent a single penny without the sanction of the Board he wciild take steps to make them pay the money themselves, and would go to the auditor to get him to surcharge the amount. He consid<rjd that enough of the ratepayers' money had been wasted,and it was time that this kind of thing sh ull be stopped. He moved that the m itter be ref -rred to the Committee, but that they be not empowf pcl to spend any money before bringing the matter a/ain before the Board. Mr Richard Jones I will second that. Mr Kent's motion was thei unanimously agreed to. THE ALLEGED ENCROACHMENT ON CEFNDY ROAD. Mr LI. Lloyd called attention to the fact that Mr. John Williams had not set back the fence of the land iu Cefndy Road in accordance with the agreement he had signed, and moved that the Road committee be directed, to take the necessary stepa for carrying out the agreement. Mr Richard Jones seconded Mr Lloyd's motion. The Clerk: I beg to remind you that the Road committee cannot take any legal proceedings- All legal proceedings must be taken thorough Jyjur clerIC. Mr Lloyd's motion was then unanimously agreed to. PROPOSED ERECTION OF RAILINGS IN ELWY STREET. Mr J. T. Jones was informed that the Board suld not allow the coping stones to be removed, or onction the putting up of the new railings opposite bouse in Elwy-street. THE PROPOSED NEW HOUSES IN BATH STREET. The Road and Foreshore Committee reported that a letter had been received from the architect for the proposed new villas, for the Rev. J. Rowland Thomas in Bath Street, asking the committee to reconsider their decision as to insisting upon the back road being 10ft. wide, and also applying for permission to tix portable ashpits. The committee recommended that the application be refused, and that proper ashpits be insisted upon. Mr Richard Jones moved the confirmation of the minutes. Mr Ll. Lloyd seconded. Mr Gunner, was strongly in favour of the Bye Laws being carried out. It was a well known fact, that when the houses in Princes Street were being built, the bye laws were evaded because tha pro- prietors were member? of the Boird. He wanted the Board to set its face against this kind of thing, and to insist upon the bye laws being carried out in their entirety. Mr Wynne. moved an amendment to the recom- mendation of the committee, viz. that the plans be passed subject to their being provided a back road 8 feet wide, and proper ashpits provided. Mr Henry Parry seconded. The amendmect, after some further talk had taken place, was put to the meeting when six voted for and eight against. The recommendation of the committee was then confirmed. PATENT BATHING VANS. The same committee reported that a letter had been received from the Patent Bathing Machiues Coy asking the Commissioners to grant licenses, to place on the beach improved bathing machines. The matter was referred to the Board for consider- ation. Mr Ll. Lloyd, moved a motion to the effect that the Board would be glad to see the vans on the shore, and that a letter be sent to the Coy., giving them the date of the annual licensing meeting, in order that they might apply for such a number, as they and the meeting think it proper that they couli bave.-Carried. MR. WYNNE'S PROPOSED NEW PREMISES. The Road and Foreshore Committee reported that a letter had been received from Dr. Girdfestone and the tenants of Nos. 1, and 2, East Parade, objecting to the building on the land at the corner of High Street, on the ground of projection. It was recom- mended that the plans be disapproved oil account of the projection beyond the building line, and that the Duiiding line on the West Parade should be kept linable with No. 5, West Parade, and in High Street with Mr Steer's house on the ground floor. A letter had also been received from Mr Bell object- ing to the buildings. Aftar Mr Wynne had made a statement, the min- tes were 00 aljrmed. THE MEDICAL OFFKTER OF HEALTH'S ANNUAL REPORT.—CRUSHING REPLY BY DR. LLOYD TO MR. OLIVER GEORGE. The Sewerage and Sanitary Committee reported that the Medical Officer of Health had read his an- nual report, and the Committee heard with great satisfaction of the generally healt.hy state of the tawn. It was recommended that the report he adopted and printed for circulaiion. The report contained an appendix dealing specially with the sewage outfall question. As the report was not quite complete, it was recommended that it be read at the Board meeting. Mr Clews It has been stited in the public press by a gentleman who has taknn a great (Iegl of inter- est in the sewer outfall question, that a private let- ter has been addressed to Dr. Lloyd. I should like to know if this is the case and if so. whether Dr. Lloyd has any objection to give IS the contents ot that letter, and what has been done in respect to It. Dr. Lloyd: Is it your pleasure that I should re- ply to the question before reading the appendix to my report ? Afr. Lawrence: I would suggest in the interest of the town that the question should not be brought up, as T think the least said about it the best. Mr Kent: I move that tho Medical Officer of Health be allowed to go on with the reading of the appendix. Mr LI. Lloyd seconded the proposal that Mr Clews' question should be answered at that stage. Mr Richard 'Jones May I ask if this is a letter from Mr Oliver George? If j»ot I more that it be hid on the table for future consideration. Mr Clews I am not asking the Doctor to read that letter, but to say whether he has received one, and what action he has taken in the matter. Dr. Lloyd As it appears to me to be the more regular course to adopt, I beg to submit to i. ou the report I kubmittecl to the Sanitary Committee, as read. I wish to explain hat some very inportant information has come to hand last Sunday morning, information which I consider es- sential to my report. J have therefore t^keu the liberty to add one little p iragraph to the report. [The paragraph was tc the effect that iu the Poor Law Medicil Officer's pauper practice in the town of Rhyl for the year ISSi only two cases of sicklies from zymotic causes are returned, both from diarrhæa. ] Can there be any stronger evidence of the health of the town than this? (hear. heur.) Continuing he said that he would ask them to t>lko the appendix to his report as read, as it wouli take him au hour and a half to read it all, and he would therefore ask each member's acceptance of a printed copy of the appendix (a full report of the appendix will be found on the last pasre of this issue). H-, In-wev >r, thought it absolutely necessary to read the two concluding paragraphs, becauss to cany out the suggestions contained in them would entail an ex- expenditure of some money, and he thought the Chancellor of the Exchequer" would find it a little awkward if the cxpeudituie was sprung upon him after he had made out his estimates. Dr. Lloyd then read that portion of his report reliting to the sewer ventilating f.hafts aud als 1 his recommenda- t:on as t) the outfall pipes beiug extended further into the river, the necessity for an extension bavins; ecurred because of the river having receded since the pipes were laid. He incidenrally remarked that he could not speak too highly of the verv intelligent t Isistance which he had received from Mr Hughes the Town Surveyor, and the very great promptitude with which he attended to the work. Thev had a very efficient officer in Mr Hutrhes—when once they got him to work. He did not mean that as a re- flection, as he was sure that Mr Hughes only wan- ted to be asked to do a thiu<^r, uud he woul l do it well. Mr Wynne moved that Dr. Lloyd's report be re- Ceivel. Mr Kent seconded the motion, and also moved that the best thanks of the Board be accorded Dr. Lloyd for the able way in which he had grasped the question. He had not had time to form an opinion on the report,, but ,Dr. Ll i-d had evi- dtntly gone to a great deal of trouble in preparing it. He hoped the committee would see that Dr Lloyd was fairly recompense 1 for his services. He would not be ungcntl?rnaulv enough to suggest that Dr. Lloyd should apply for an increase, but could not refrain from expressing an opinion that he was very inadequately remunerated. Dr. Lloyd said I have always been accorded the Kind privilege uf being listened to when I have desired to say something to the Board, au4 if yon 1 will kindly bear with me while L engage your I attention just for ten minutes. I shiill beexceedinalv obliged. It is perfectly true that I did receive a letter, and you must judge for yourselves who the person was that instigated that letter Mr Wynne, interrupting, proposed that the reporters be asked not to report the discussion, Dr. Lloyd You must remember that a letter appeared in the public press on the 17th of March, which was an attack not oul v on the Medic il Officer of Health, but on the Commissioners general!v. If you decline to listen to t.i,o defence. I must take some other means to let the public know the true c'rcamstances of the case. The Chairman Kindly* let Dr. Lloyd answer the question put to him by air Clews. I Mr Wynne I think if this matter goes forward to the public, it will have a prejudicial eifeet on the town. Dr. Lloyd (to Mr Wynne) Did you ever hear me say anything prejudicial to the town. I am not going to say anything prejudicial to the tow a I am going to defend the town (hrar, hear) ^*r 5° ^°^er^s said the black flag had been hoisted|mr ihi town. Nobody can paint it dirtier and the man that has sent these letters oujht to have a mouth's imprisonment and now Mr Wyn-ie proposes to hold Dr. Lloyd's hand back, so that he cannot punch him. We h ive had dirt enough, lor goodness sake let us have a little cleanliness (loud laughter). After some further discussion, the Chairman called upon Dr. Lloyd to proceed with his statement. He said it was quite true he received the following letter, dated 24th November, 1837. "Sir, Ive have been instructed to enclose you copy of a printed letter, dated 17th November, 1857,"addressed by Mr Oliver George, to the Rlivl Improvement Commissioners, by which you will see that Prof. Campbell Browne has reported that There follows an extract out of Dr. Campbell l'ruwne's renort made to Messrs Sisson and Geor<;e, and which was dated November, 1886, the copy of which sent to the Commissioners was marked "strictly private, O. George, so he refrained from quotir^ it.] The letter continued And WE shall thank you (as the Medical Officer of Health for the town) t" call the attention of the Commissioners to the nuisance compluned of, and to inform us of your having done so, Please to acknowledge rrceipt of this letter.-Your obedient scrva,,ts> Sissou & George." io this he replied on the same date, Hrs I beg to acknowledge the receipt of rour letter of I this date. I find that the report of Dr. Camphdi Browne, is embodied in the letter addressed by Mr ^Hivi^re,irgre t°, 6 ImPrcvement Commissioners individually. I f ill to find that your letter Co me contains any complaint of a nuisance. I do not see that I have anything further than is already known # -fT+-Rii in*n)1^'loneri"' to rePort to them.-Yours aithful y. A. E. Llovd." Referring to this letter Mr Oliver George m his letter to the lihyl Journal, a nd, I requested Dr. Evton Llovd to call the attention. &c.
