Llandudno Lady and the Chocolate. At the Conway Police Court, on Monday, be- fore Dr. Dalton and other magistrates, Miss Jessie liaworth (22), who is. very respectably connected,, and who resides, with her parents in Mosityn- street, Llandudno, was charged with stealing a box of chocolates!, valued at is., the property of Henry Charlier, off the Swiss Cafe, Llandudno, on. the 20th of last month. Lir. Hallmark appeared for the defendant. .Superintendent Rees said there were two. charges against the accused. It appeared that on the, 20th of last month Miss Ha,worth entered the Swiss Cafe and made purchases. Owing to. certain reasons, the proprietor went behind the scenes and allowed his wife to, serve the girl. Shortly afterwards, she left the Shop, and was followed by the propriietor, who gave her in charge. The second charge was for stealing a gold ring from a chemist's shop in Lrlanduåno. Henry Clhariliier, of the Swiss. Cafe, Lloyd- street, Lliandudino,, said that the accused entered his shop at five o'clock on the evening of the 20th ult. iRe allowed his wife to serve her with what she asked for. He was standing behind a partition, and could see in a mirror what was taking place. Before the accused left he saw her taking a shilling packet of chocolate, which she did not pay for. Witness followed her into, the street and asked for a policeman to. arrest the girl. She was taken in charge in W. S. Williams's shop, in which place witness found the packet of chocolate, on. the counter. Mir. Hallmark: Did you, hear Miss Haworth say anything about paying for the chocolate?— Not when, in the shop. Did you hear her at any time say so?—When the policeman accosted her, she said she was going to, pay for it. Inspector Owen gave evidence of the accused being brought to. the police, station. She was charged with stealing the chocolate, and in re- ply she said, I did not take it with the inten- tion of stealing it. I told Mrs. Charlier that I was taking it, and would call again to pay for It." Accused was charged, and pleaded guilty. She. was next charged with stealing a gold ring, the property of Mary Evelyn Evans, on the 21 st November. Norah Kathloeni G.rosse said she was an as- sistant at Boots, cash chemist's, and on the 21st November she lost the. ring produced. She had taken it off in the lavatory of the shop, when washing heir hands, and shortly afterwards missed it. She valued it at a guinea. M'L Hlalilmarlk Is this your own ring?—No it was lent me by a friend. I was wondering how you. arrived at its value. --My friend told me it cost 21s. Did you. make any inquiries and try to. find the. ring?—Yes, we searched the room for it. You; didn't ask Miss, Haworth about it?-No. Inspector Owen, said he saw the accused with respect to the ring. He charged her with steal- ing it, and when he shoiwed it her, she said, Yes, that is the ring I fouind in the room in Boots' shop." To this the accused's advocate pleaded guiilty. Mr. Hallmark said that with, reference to the chocolate he had to. call the magistrates' atten- tion to the fact that accused" s father was a most respectable tradesman in Llandudno, and on the face of it it would seem ridiculous for her to..steal such a paltry thing as a shilling box of C'r1- .J._L- JL, -u,+ 00 +Vi^, Tln- ùlIl1e ua<u Lal,-U imtemi, uui --LIJ..L- slpectolr had said, she, intended to call back and pay for them. As a matter of fact, she had not enough money in her pocket to pay for them. What would make it more likely that she did intend to pay for them was that she did pay for some other things, she bought in the Cafe. With regard to. the ring, Miss Haworth found it on the floor of the lavatory. She picked it up and kept it, thinking it was. of no' value. From what he had seen of the. ring, he believed the magistrates would agree that it did not ap- pear to be worth an,ything like a guinea. If the accused had realised that it was of any value she would never have kept it. No. in- quiries were made outside the shop. Taking both cases, he, suggested most strongly that thris was. an essential case which should be dealt with, undelr the First Offenders' Act. He nleed blandly call Itble magistrates' attention to' the trouble and suffer;ing which it had caused to her father and mother; as a matter of fact, the reason, the case was hunried on that day was to relieve the strain and anxiety from which Mrs. Haworth was suffering. Moreover, the girl herself bad. been justly punished for the dis- grace which those proceedings, had brought uip- on her and her family. The magistrates retired, and after a short de- liberation the Chairman announced that they had decided to treat the cases under the First Offenders' Act. The accused would be bound over in the sum of Iro to. come up for judg- ment when called upon, and her father would also be bound over in a similar sum for her eood behaviour. Addressing the accused, the Chairman said it was a serious matter, and if she was. ever brought up again, she could be punished for these offences. The aocused muist also pay the costs of the proceedings.

Llandudno and the Sunday Question Again. CONFLICTING OPINIONS. The annual meeting of the subscribers to the Llandudno Improvement Association took place on Friday night. Lord Mostyn presided. Mr. James Marks proposed the adoption of the report and accounts. He said that the credit balance of Cioo and the £ 5o which it was hoped to realise out of the concession to hire beach chairs, which had been leased to the association by the Council for a second year, would be devoted to the production of a coloured poster for exhibition at railway stations. Mr. W. R. Brookes said that the Association should make a feature of the early part of the season, between Easter and July, when there was often the finest weather. In reply to Mr. S. Chantrey, the Secretary (Mr. A. J. Oldman) said that there was a decrease in the amount of subscriptions, but it was very large- ly due to the bad season. The number of indivi- dual subscribers had gone down from 315 to 278. Mr R. S. Chamberlain said he had not the slightest doubt that the Secretary was right in _L..L_.L_L_- .L --] _L-- .1.- _L_ .& aiuiDuung Lile reuueuon 111 tue SUUbCIIPLIULlt, iu bad times. What he was going to say would no doubt be unpopular, but he was sure it was for the good and prosperity of Llandudno. He maintained that the necessity existed for the running of some electric trams and the Great Oime tram on Sundays. There were thousands of people in the season who made the legitimate demand to be permitted to ascend the mountain by tram, and in view of that fact the scanty consideration given last year by the Council to the Company's request for permission to run the cars was disrespectful to the Company, and, he believed, against the wishes of the town generally. (Applause). The Com- pany were going to apply again for permission to provide a Sunday service, and as election time was approaching he had hopes that the application would fare better this time. He also thought there should be a limited service of the street cars, one which would not clash with the services at the churches and chapels. He would not ask the Association as a body to take action with regard to these questions, but he did ask the members as individuals, those who were in favour of one or other of these proposals or both, to do all they could to bring them about. (Hear, hear). He could point to many in that room who had suff- ered owing to the prohibition of Sunday golf at one of the links some years ago. They all res- pected the conscientious views of people who did not play golf (and he had never played a game in his life on a Sunday), but they would ask that they should be a little more broadminded, and remem- ber that though they did not like it themselves there were others, quite as good men as themselves who saw no harm in it. (Hear, hear.) Air. E. E. Bone said that, while he agreed with Mr Chamberlain, if the Association took up the question of Sunday trams it would split up the Association at once, Mr Chamberlain I particularly said I did not ask that. Lord Mostyn said that, as chairman, he would recommend that the matter should not be taken up. He had had some experience of the Sunday golf controversy, and he did not intend to touch that again. (Laughter). Mr Bone said that THE ATTITUDE OF THE COUNCIL was very strongly against Sunday traffic. There was a period when Mr Marks and himself were the only two members in" favour of hiring the beach chairs on the Sunday. Men should be returned to the Council who thought as Mr Chamberlain did. The majority of the Council conscientiously be- lieved it would be wrong to give way in regard to the tramcars, and were prepared to suffer some adversity in business and otherwise rather than give their consent. He would like to see the trams running himself, except during the hours of d'ivine service, and fiin priinciple he had no objection to Sunday golf, though be wouild not play himself. The election was coming on. Leer those who felt strongly on the question take it up by returning men of their views, to the Council. As the !Mlanchester Guardian had stated, there was a possibility of allowing this great attraction, giving access to the most distinctive natunal feature in North Wales, to pass out of their hands.. The Council had dis- cussed it thoroughly, and had made a proposal, which had not met with acceptance. Mr. Chamberlain: I do, not want the Council to take over the tramway. Mr. Bone Well, if YIOU. want to. carry it out and to have Sunday trams, return men to the Council in favour of it. It is hopeless to. ex- pect it from the men who are there now. I do not blame the Council. At the bottom the fault lies with those who want it done and do not exert themselves, at election time. (Hear, hear.) Mr. O. W. Roberts said Mr. Ohamberlain had appealed for broad-mindedness, but he would not wish any of them., however broad-minded they were in their views, to' subordinate them to their consoient,ious objections and scruples. The real reason why things were not so, brisk at present was the depression in trade all through the world. When people had not money to spend watering-places, like other places, must suffer. He respectfully asked those men who. liked broad-minded views to give credit to those who were strongly against Sunday traffic, who held their Puritanical notions honestly and con- scientiously, who would prefer to see quiet Sun- days at Llandudno, and who, believed, too, that if the Sundays were kept quieter there would be a great accession of visitors who preferred quiet- ness on Sundays. (fle,ar, hear.) The President, in a short address upon the past year's work of the Association, which he said had thriven for 17 years, referred to the autumn concerts movement, expressing his gratification that the Committee had been well supported by the Town,, and that the Pier Com- pany were given the use of the pavilion free. (Applause.) What was. needed was to, prolong the autumn season, and there was no. better way of doing it than by providing the public with good music. With regard to the Great Oirme train,, it had given pleasure to. many thousands of people,, and he hoped that the difficulties of the Company would soon be overcome. (Applause.) On the motion, of Mir. S. Cbantrey, Lord IMOiSltyn was re-elected President, and the Exe- cutive Committee were re-elected, with the addition of Messrs. L. S. Underwood and Mir. C. H. Bevan.

I Great Orme Tramway. SUGGESTED PURCHASE BY LLANDUDNO COUNCIL. The Llandudno, Council held a long meeting in Committee on Thursday to consider a pro- posal to, acquire the. Great Orme Tramway, and it is understood Ithiat some offer was decided upon to be laid before the annual meeting of the shareholders to-day. The undertaking has been hampered since it wa,s,ope,n,ed six or .seven years ago by the fact that a good deal of the line was constructed with borrowed capital, the subscribed capital with which the Company went to. allotment be- ing insufficient. Every year since then the di- rectors have been able to. meet the heavy charges for interest and have also paid off some propor- tion of the debt, but Last year, owing to the bad weather and to. the general Repression in trade, the concern did not, it is stated, do. as well as previously. It has now become necessary to lay out more capital for the provision of a larger boiler at the engine-house and ior other works, and rather than find the money themselves the directors decided to, offer the undertaking as a going concern to, the Urban District Council, asking a price which is considerably less than what the, line cost, including the cost of obtain- ing Parliamentary powers, which was very heavy. The earnings are stated to have been sufficient to, pay a moderate dividend upon the whole of the capital., if it had not been necessary to meet heavy bank charges and apply the rest of the profits, to buying off the Lloyd's bonds and the railway has, not been developed to its fullest extent owing to, the financial responsibilities of the directors. For instance, the charge for the return: fare of gd. has been considered too high. If it were 6d. the amount of traffic would be greatly increased, but the directors could not try the experiment. The Urban District Council (says the Man- chester Guardian" of Friday) will incur a serious responsibility to the town if they lack the im- agination to foresee the possibilities of this undertaking as an attraction to' the town. COUNCIL'S OFFER DECLINED. The annual meeting of the shareholders in the Great Orme Tramway was held on Friday at the office of Mr. A. G. Pugh, Llandudno. Mr. David Jones, the Chairman of the direc- tors, isiaid that unfortunately the receipts during the last half year were C250 less than for the corresponding period of 1907 owing to the stormy and wet weather during the visiting sea- son. The working expenses, however, were less by 62o. The engine-house, the two. sections of railway, the cars, and the equipment had been thoroughly overhauled, and the line would be in good condition far running just before Easter. The statement of accounts, which showed a debit balance on cuirent account of ;641S and total liabilities by way of overdraft and bonds of ^6,000 (which will fall due gradually), was unanimously approved. The Chairman then made a statement as to the position of the Company and the negotia- tions for the salle of the concern which have been carried on recently. R. S. Chamberlain said it seemed to him that the negotiations had been conducted in an unbusiiness-Mbe. way, and without cünsulhng the shareholders. The Chairman said that Mr. John Owen, the director who, with the consent of his colleagues, had carried on the negotiations, had obtained the consent of two-thirds of the shareholders to the offer made to a prospective purchaser, and the Urban District Council had been given the opportunity of buying at the same figure. Mr. Chamberlain said he doubted whether there was any power to sell except by way of transfer of the shares or for the Council tOl buv except at the expiration of 28 years. The Chairman said the Council had, of course, no. compulsory power now. Mr. W. Arnold said that the Company only required to. carry a larger number of passengers to be relieved of all their difficulties, and he suggested that they should approach the Coach- iinlg Company, and get them to run 'buses from the pier and railway station on the arrival of excursionists, carrying the people to the tram station for, say, a fare of a penny each. In that way they might get a very much larger number of passengers. A SUNDAY SERVICE. Mr. Chamberlain asked what was the result of the application last year that the cars should be run on Sundays. That would get the Company out of tbecr difficulty, and there was really a tremendous demand for the cars on Sundays The Chairman said that on the occasion re- ferred to' the views of th<e 'n_ taken, and there was a large majority in, favour of Sunday running, but the Council, when of Sunday running-, but the Council, when asked to give their consent, refused to do so. Lr. Chamberlain: I can quite understand that, when even among your own shareholders and directors there are gentlemen,—1 say it with all respect-who are not keenly in favour of Sunday traffic, it makes it very difficult to get the Council's consent. If the directors could conscientiously press, for this sanction they would in a little time get it. Mir. G. A. Humphreys And the election is coming on. Mr. Richard Conway: The town wants it as a whole, and true visitors, want it, and the town wants visitors. Mrr. Llewelyn Jones And some of the direc- tors want it, too. The Chairman said that he voted against the applicatlioa1 to. the Council, and would retire in favour of some other shareholder, if they wished someone to be appointed with greater influence w,ith the Council. M"r G" A" Humphreys said that he thought the directors should ignore all the recent negot- iations, and develop some schemes for bringum? more traffic. They had really made headway every season. 'He was quite in sympathy with Mr. Arnold s proposal. M.r. Arnold moved that the. directors be asked to. apply to the Council for permission to run a Sunday service, and to make the request a strong one. The shareholders were a body of people who. ought to be listened to. They had put their money down for the good of the town Mtr Chamberlain seconded the proposition, which was carried by a large majority Ma Arnold then moved that the directors ap- proach the Electric Railway Company with a view to a branch line being constructed to the mountain tramway terminus in Church Walks Tlhtis, was carried unanimous!}-. Mr. Arnold: I think if we see this through there will be no difficulty in raising money to put the tramiro,axi on a sound financial basis. ihe letter from the Urban District Council containing the offer for the undertaking decided upon at the meeting in Committee on Thursday was read. Mr. Sutcliffe, the Secretary, explained, in re- ply to a question, that the Council proposed to take over the line on March 3,1st, after the Com- pany had expended .a considerable amount of money in maintenance work during the winter, and the ira,ilway would begin to earn money for the Council as. soon as they took it over. It was unanimously decided not to accept the Council's price, and the meetin.g was adjourned for three weeks, the Board in the meantime to consider ways and means and the suggestions of Mr. Arnold and others for increasing the traffic.
