Penmaenmawr Urban District Council. The Chairman (Mr. David Jones, Llan) pre- sided at the monthly meeting of the Penmaen- mawr Council on Tuesday evening, the other members present being Col. Darbishire, Dr. H. T. Tenkins, Dr. J. R. Williams. Messrs. F. D. Chantrey, J. S. Coverley, P. H. McClement, Samuel Williams, Thomas Williams, D. Gordon Jones, R. D. Owen, and R. D. Jones, with the Deputy Clerk (Mr. J. W. Post), the Surveyor aud Inspector (Mr. R. John Hughes), and the Rate Collector (Mr, John Owen). MOEL LYS AGAIN. A com'munication was read from the Office of Woods enquiring whether the Council were the surface owners of the land on Moel Lys, or part of it, and asking whether they desired to purchase the minerals. After a short discussion it was decided to in- form Mr. Stafford Howard that the whole of the land, with the exception of Tynyffrith, Ffrithyfoel, and the hospital site, belonged to commoners, who had a right to graze over it. It was stated by the members that it would be no earthly use taking the land without they pur- chased the minerals as well, because speculators would still be able to come there and disfigure the mountain. A NEW EDUCATION AUTHORITY. A communication signed by the Clerks of the County Authorities of Carnarvon, Anglesey, Den- bigh and Flint, was submitted, in which they stated that there was a scheme on foot for establishing a joint Education Committee for training college purposes. It was stated that copies of the pro- posed scheme could be procured at any local Post Office. Col. Darbishire proposed that they approve of the scheme, but he found no seconder, as the majority of the members felt that they would like to read through the scheme before approving of it. THE ELECTRIC LIGHTING ORDER. The Deputy Clerk informed the Council that he had received a further letter from the Board of Trade with respect to the above matter, and he had succeeded in putting them off a little further. REFUSE ON THE FORESHORE. A resident on the foreshore was reported for depositing refuse on the foreshore, and also for refusing to remove it when requested by a Council employee. The Deputy Clerk wrote for an explanation of his conduct, and the resident replied apologising, stating that he was not aware at the time that in depositing refuse on the fore- shore he was committing an offence against the Council. BANKING FACILITIES. Mr. Owen Rowland, manager of the N.P. Bank, wrote stating that he was always anxious to make ample provision to meet the banking requirements of Penmaenmawr, and to assist in promoting its interest in every way. He regret- ted that his experience of opening the bank three days a week during summer was disappointing and did not justify the additional time and ex- pense entailed. Mr. James Smith, the manager of Lloyd s Bank, wrote that he was surprised to learn that the Urban Council considered the banking facilities unsatisfactory and inadequate. He denied entire- ly that this was the case, and if it had been so the customers of his bank would have complained and not the Council. About three years ago the local banks did open three times a week, but the busi- ness done was very small and unprofitable, con- sisting chiefly of changing bank notes. The Chairman said that the banking authori- ties had spoken to several tradesmen about the matter, and they appeared to know nothing about it. The matter was allowed to drop. FINANCIAL. It was reported that a sum of £ 270 16s. 7d. had been collected, and the Treasurer's credit balance amounted to CSgo odd. SYCHNANT STONE. The Footpaths and Estate Committee recom- mended that the Council decide if they would allow stone for buildings to be quarried on the land they hold at Sychnant Pass. Dr. Jenkins stated that the applicant for the stone did not require stone from the Council's land at all, but still they should like a decision as to whether they could grant stone being quarried from their land. After a short discussion it was decided not to allow stone to be taken from the land at Sychnant Pass. BEACH CHAIRS. The Council renewed agreement for the pro- vision of promenade beach chairs to Mr. R. J. Jones, High-street, on the same terms as last year. 8'C
