At a meeting of the Finance Committee, the application. for an increase of salary by Mr. Fred Walliiams, the RelieVung Officer for the Cblwyn- Bay disitrict, was, fully discussed,, and it was re- commended- that the salary be raised to £ 62 per aninu/m. iMir John Wliilliajmis asiked that the minutes should be put down correctly, as: five voted for the increase and four against. Mir J. T. Taylor,, the Chairman; of the Fin- ance Committee, said it was not usual to, put down on the minutes the voting at Committees. He proposed that recommendation be adopted. Mr J. W. Raynes, in secondiing, said that at first he did not vote for the proposed increase, because he fait that the officer, should have -more, but when he saw the feeling of the Com- mittee, he had to be satisfied with the 4io. Mr John Williams said he would: move that the recommendatioil1, be not adopted. He felt that the Board were not in a position- to increase the officials' salllar.ies..MID Fred Williams, had been in the employ of the Board for eight years, andi during that period his: salary had been in- creased by ^30. They had been ^preaching to the County Council about expending money, and now they were about to do the very same thing themselves. With every due respect to the ap- plicant, he did not think that any official should apply to have his salary increased in. the middle of the year. If this application was granted to- day, there would be others to follow. Mr P. H. McC'lernent said he had been ex- pecting to bear something in favour of the re- commendation. At the Finance Cloa-ntmittee there was a very glowiing report of what the official hiad' done. 'He had as good an opinion of the officials, as, any member present, and lie was, in sympathy with every one trying to get as much salary as: he could without being a bur- den on others. In dealing with the salary of this officer, the Board were not dealing with their own. money, but that of the ratepayers. The appointment was made with a salary of ,C130 to commence with £$21 as Relieving Offi- cer. At the time of the appointment, the Local Government Board considered that the salary was too small, amd advised the Board to raise it, but they explained to the Government Board that it was a commencing salary of /130, ana not the salary of the Relieving Officer alone. The combined posts- of this officer were worth ^130. Now the Relieving Offilcerr had based his alaim for an advance because the Guardians stated to the Local Government Board that it was a commencing salary. The great complaint throughout the country, and, by the Poor Law Commissioners was that the cost of administer- ing the Poor Law was much too- heavy. (A Member: "Quite true.") This official's salary had advanced over, £30 in; seven years, and there was another official who had; been in the service of the Board 24 years, who had. a larger area, and was getting less pay than, the other two Relieving Officers. IHe should also like to. point out that, without doubt, all persons: over the age of 70, in 1910, woulfd be off the relief books, so that the work of the Relieving Officers would be getting less. During the next year, .in the Colwyn, Bay district, there would be 84 paupers of 70 years of age, and they would undoubtedly be off the books. That would reduce his wotnk by almost 84 cases. He admitted that Mr Fired Williams had a great number of paupers on, his books, but they found that as many as six and s,ev,en on the books were living together in the same house. They would, no doubt, hear the argument that Mor. Fred William-s had been able to save hundreds of pounds to the Union. They were, he was sure, all very gllad to hear it, but that was part of his dulty. The other officers did the same. He had been. through a list of what the Relieving Offioe,r for the Con.way dis- trict had saved during the last few years,, and it would surprise them to hear that in, different cases, he had salved them ^700 which the Guardians knew nothinjg about. The great cry throughout the country was that the official sal- aries were too great a burden on the rates. He would not say how many applicants there would be for the poisit if it was vacant at £ 120, or cren £ 100 a year; but the other day there were S9 applicants for a posit worth £ 2 a week. He would ask tlhe Board tOo consider the matter, seriously. If they advanced this- salary, they would have to advance the others. Mr J. W. Raynes said that the salary of Mr Fr,ed Williams, as Relieving Officer, was but £50 a year, whereas that of Mr W. G. Williams, the Conway Officer, was ^80. The rest of Mr Fred Williams' salary wias made up as- Cbllector, Vaccination Officer, and Registrar. The more work he did as collector niaturallly increased hiis emoluments. Mr Fred Williams had done more for this Union in saving the rates and relieving distress than any other officer they had had. Mr MoCllement: We don't accept that, Mr. Chairman. iMlr Raynes said that during the last two years he had saved £ 300. He would not like to name the number of families he had found and sent back to other Unions. He (Mr Raynes') had gone round his own district of Llysfaen. with the Officer, and he could, see that he was not too lenient with the poor neither was he harish; but where he found1 anybody in the family who could bring in. money, he stopped the re- lief. He did not think they were asking too. much to put Mr Williams on the same footing as. the Conway Officer, but seeing that the Fin- ance Committee thought the amount too much, he (Mr Raynes) bad agreed to the £ 10. Others could come forward, if they liked, and they con Id give them the, increase if they cared.

Conway Rural District Council,I
Conway Rural District Council, I LLANDUDNO JUNCTION MATTERS. PROPOSED ELECTRIC LIGHTING I SOHiEMiE. I MR. ROGERS JONES ON "STINGY" LANDLORDS. The monthly meeting of the Rural District Council was held in the Clerk'si Offices, at Con- way, on Friday morning. The membexs, present were Mesisns Edlwiard Willitiame, J.P. (Chsmr- man), J. W. Raynes, Rogers Jones, Robert Ellis, Hugh Owen, Evan E.vans, Robert Roberts, E. J. Evans, W. F. Jones, Owen Williams, and Ro- bert William's with the Clerk (Mr T. E. Parry), the Inspector (Mr Levi John), and the Survejoi (Mr John Da vies). FINANCIAL. The Finance Committee reported that after paying outstanding cheques there would be. a debtor balance in the Conway district of ^188 18s. yd., and in the Glan Conway district a deb- tor balance of Z64 iSs. Replying to Mr J. W. Raynes-, the CLerk said the position of the Council had considerably improved since the meeting of the Finance Com- mittee. That day there was a credit balance in f,avour of Glan Conway of 6ig Igs. 5d., and in the Conway district of £563 7s. Sd. (Hear, hear.) LLYSFAEN WATER SUPPLY. The Sanitary Inspector reported that the cot- tages known as Storehouse^ at Llysfaen, were without a proper supply of water, and that such a supply ooulidi be furnished at a reasonable cost. He recommended that the owner be served with a notice requiring him to obtain such a supply, and to lay a service pipe from the Coun- cil s main to the cottages, a distance of about nine feet from the front door. Sanders' Cot- tages, Penimaen, were alis-o, in the same condi- tion, and he recommended that a similar notice be served on the owner of these. A discussion arose, in which Mr Rogers Jones said that he would insist that all should connect with the mléltÎrnlSl in his parish. He thought that the landlords should be comp,eliled to connect the water supply. Landlords, he stated, were stingy enough." Mr J. W. Raynes: You are not your own landlord1, I can, see. Mr Rogers Jones proposed that the landlords be compelled to. carry out the recommendations of the Inspector. Mr Robert Roberts seconded, and it was agreed to. LLANG WiSTENIN REFUSE. A committee appointed to visit and investi- gate the complaints made with regard to the emptying of aslhbins, &c., at Lliangwlsltenin, re- ported that the ashpits had' been fairly well attend.ed to on the day of inspection, but they were of opinion that from information there were grounds for complaints, and that the: dis- trict was neglected, and not having the personal supervision of the ,Sia;ni,t:a.ry Inspector, owing to the large area of the rural district. The com- mittee recommended that the Council should ap- point a working assistant for the Inspector. The committee also- gave instruction's to the scaven- ger to discontinue forthwith the tipping of house refuse' in the old briak pit, as they considered it would create a mjjisanice. Mr R. Effiis said that the committee appeared to find fault with the contractor and the Sani- tary Inspector. Mr Rogers; Jones: Give the both the sack. (Laughter.) 'Mr Robert Roberts, who was. a member of the inspecting committee, said they visited each house, and made inquiries, and; found not a single complaint in regard to the elearinig of the house refuse. With respect to the temporary slaughter house which had' been allowed, he thought the Council would agree that it was the best kept slaughter house. It was kept very clean, without any offensive smell. Wiith, re- gard to the recommendation that a working as- eistanft be appointed, he thought there was no reason for this at present. Mr Raynes said that Mr Roberts had not gone far enough because there were complaints' as to the way refuse from earth closets were car- ried along the main road. With regard to the slaughter house, it was: too near the dwelling house, and had a shop above it. Then the stable was alongside of property, the owner of which complained of the manure heétp. An- other thing was that sheep were kept in the stahle before being slaughtered. The com- mittee found aH the ashbins cleared: out ready for them. He thought, bow-ev-er, that the visit of the committee had done good. The Chairman asked what the Council pro- posed doing with respect to the assistant recom- mended for Mr John? In reply to Mr Raynes, the Inspector said it was no use his telling the Council that he re- quired an assistant. The area was growing very much, and he had to employ a man. from Conway to attend to the dirains, .sewers, and manholes. Mr Robert Roberts: That would be much cheaper than keeping a regular man. The Inspector said that a tremendous lot of work had; to be leftt, undone. Mr R. Roberts said he objected at the com- mittee to. appoint a working assistant, because the scavenging contractor was bound to clear the refuse at present. Mr Hugh Owen said there was a great deal of refuse thrown from the shops on the main, road, and it was quite a nuisance. An the street was covered with papers and: rags. It was a dis- grace to the place, and he considered that a man should be employed to keep the place clean. A great many visitors came now, and it was not very attractive for them to see the road in such a state. Mr Robert Roberts moved that the question of the appointment of an assistant be deferred until the beginning of the financial year, the In- spector, in the meantime, to insist on the con- tractor keeping to his contract. This wa-s, secondled. Mr Evan Evans: My opinion is that you ought to have a man there at once. I propose that the recommendation be adopted. Mr Raynes seconded. On being put to the meeting, the proposition of Mr Robert Roberts to defer the question, was Carried by a majority. JUNCTION LIGHTING. The question of lighting Llandudno Junction came up for discussion, and a communication was read from the Conway 'Corporation asking what the Council proposed to do with regard to the lighting of the district, for the lighting of which the Council had obtained' Government powers. Mr. Rogers Jones suggested they should have electric light, as it was nice and clean. Mr. Robert Roberts agreed and said that Conway people were very anxious to -supply the Junction,, but with electric light they would be able to find poachers on their property. (Laugh- ter.) It was stated that Mr. Wi-lloughby Lance, Llandiudlmo, had been consulted with a v.iew to reporting upon the advisability of lighting the district by meanis of electricity, and it was de- cided that a committee should further consult .Mr. Lance on the matter. THE HIRING OF THE STEAM ROLLER. The Highway Surveyor reported that he had hired out the steam roller to persons who re- sided in the vicinity of where the roller was working at 3s. per hour imolusive of the cost of fuel and one man. He should likei the Cbunoil to fix a price or decide whether the roller was to he Mred out, so that he could make his position safe. If the nailer was required for a day it would coat 29s. 6d. .Mr. R. Ellis .said; that the Council had; re- fused the. -use of the roller to Messrs. Hughes and Rowlands, Cblwyn Biay, and now the Sur- veyor had hired out the roller without the sanc- tion of the Council. He dåd: not think that was the propert course to adopt. Mr. Raynes said this was very different to the case of Messrs. Hughes, and Rowlands. They wanted the roller brought from one side of the river to the other, whereas the roller had been now hired to property owners alongside where the engine was, working. Mr. R. Ellis said the roller was refused MesiSlrs Hughes and Rowlands because the Council had plenty of work for the roller to do. At the Gell, which was one of the pLacesl where the roller was hired, they failed to do the worlk because the place was, too steep. Mr. R. Roberts agreed with. Mr. Ellis, and said that before the Surveyor should do such a thing he ought to bring the matter before the Council. Mr. 'Hugh Owen contended, that if they had to apply to the Council for the use of the rol- ler the applicants would have to wait a month, and by then, perhaps, the roller would be in the other end of the district. He considered the Council should be reasonable in a matter of this kind. It was, very diifferenrt. in the case of Messrs. Hughes and Rowilands, because they wanted it for some time, at a period when it was, not convenient to the Council. He con- sidered it would, be to the advantage of the Council if they could earn. money with the rol- ler without interfering with their own work. He proposed that the action of the Surveyor, be ap- proved, and that he be given power to hire out the roller when convenient, at a charge of 3s. per hour. Mr. Evan. Evans seconded. An amendim«nt Ataasi moved by Mr. W. F. Jones, and seconded, by Mr. Robert Roberts, that the matter be referred to the Finance Com- mittee to draw out a scale of charges for the use of the roller. Mr. Hugh Owen said he had no objection to the amendment, and woulld withdraw his motion in favour of it. This was agreed to. ROAD EXPENDITURE. As instructed, the Highway Surveyor sub- mitted the expenditure on roads in various parishes for the year erudied 311st March, 1910, as fülllows :-LlaiIlgelyninl, £80 17s.; Caerbum, £ 201 15s.

Death and Funeral of a Public…
Death and Funeral of a Public Official. On Thursdlay morning, the sad news of the death of Mr Jesse Jones, formerly a well-known public official, cast a gloom over the whole of the,, Conway Union. The deceased: gentleman, who had attained his 77th year, was formerly the poor law relieving officer for Llandudno-, Colwyn Bay, and the wholle of the Cbnwiay Dnlion on that sidle of the river. A native of the village of Eglwyisbaeh, he was, the son of Evan Jones, a draper in that village. Early in life he became a tradesman, having succession grocery businesses at Mochdire and St.. George, Abergele. 'He was a successful candidate for the relieving officership, which- was created, in 1862, and eubsequenitfly. he obtained! the post of Registrar of births, deaths, and marriages, which post he, with the assistance of his wife, held up to the time of his death. For many years after his- appointment he resided at Gllan Conway, where he was very highly respected, and for a long period served thei Church faith- fully in the office of Churchwarden. In those dlays, Llandudno: and Colwyn Bay were but mere villages, but as these two places grew in importance, it became an anomaly that persons desirous to. register births and deaths should have to. journey to Gllan Conway, with the re- sult that the deceatsed genitileman. removed to Llandudho. Junction, which was considered a more central position. In March, 1902, Mr Jones had faithfully served the Union for the long period of forty years, and he relinquished the post of relieving officeir on a welll-merited pension, and at the time there was a general recognition, of his courteous fulifilment of the duties during his tenure of the eevelfall offices. Up till Mnday of last week, he enjoyed excel- lent health, and on the Siaturdiay previous he had officiated at a marriage at the registry office. At marriages he was most popular, and it will be very difficult to procure a person to fill this office with such success, as he did. The Coniway Guardians,, when they came to- fill the post of relieving officer, divided the district into two areas. Since- his retirement, the deceased had mar- ried a second' time, and his wife survives him. Mr Jones was; taken suddenly ill on Tuesday morning, and the doctors were quickly in at- tendance, but their skilil was of no avail, and he expired early on Thursday morning. He was a man highly respected by all classes of society. Since his retirement, he had interested himself much in church, work, as far as his sight would permit. He was a man of amiable and peaceful disposition, and his end was peace. THE FUNERAL. The funeral, took pliace on, Monday after- tUfjon. at Llanirhos Parish Church. The funl. eral was of a public character. The service at the house was conducted by the Rev. J. F. Reece, Vicar of Llanirhos.

Evans asked if there was a maximum salary fixed. Mr A. J. Oiidman, in a long speech, spok,e in favour of the recommendation, of the Finance Committee, and added that ^40 out of the £ 52. salary was paid by the Government, so that there was not much to. come from the rates. After; further discussion, the Rev. J. Raymond said the only question was whether they were paying the Relieving Officer sufficient salary for the work that was being dome. Personally, he felt they were paying a very fair salary for the work done. Mr Hugh Hughes supported the recommenda- tion,, adding that Mr Fred Williams had dome his work remarkably well. Mr J. T. Taylor, replying to. the discussion, said he did not vote at the Committee, but he rnow supoprted the recommendiation because he felt they had an officer they ought to value. It was then decided to' vote for and against. Mr John Williams asiked that the names .should be taken. Messrs R-aymes and Hugh Hughes Is it elec- tion time? The voting resulted as foliloms:- For the recommendation to increase the sail- any Messrs William Williams, Edward Jones, Hugh Davies, Mrs Lloyd, MilSSI Lewds., ReN. E. J. Evans, Messrs W.

The recommendation, was therefore lost. Mr Robert Roberts asked that the names of those who did not vote should also be taken. Mr Hugh Owen said he did not vote, because he Wias blamed by the Colwyn Bay people when he sounded the praises of Mr Fred Williams at the time of his appointment. He was delighted to think that Mr Williams, who was: from the Junction, had turned out to- be such an excel- lent official. Mr MicGlemenf: I congratulate the Colwym Bay members for being so. faitMuil to their offi- aial. They are here in good numbers to-day FINANCIAL. The Deputy Clerk reported that the balance at the Bank that day was Z8,538 5s. 3d., but the whole of it practically belonged toi the County Authorities. He asked that cheques for ^3,0-00 and £ 2,000 be drawn in favour of the Carnar- von County Council, and ^'2,000 and £ 1,000 in favour of the Denbighshire Authority. The finslt of the cheques woulld1 be paid at once, and the others in the course of a fortnight. This was agreed to. THE HOES. Several artiol,Cis of furniture were ordered for the Cottage Homes. With, regard to the child- ren's clothing, Mists Lewis and MisfS Williams were deputed to visit the Workhouse. to ascer- tain what clothing, &c., there was. in. stock be- longing to the children,, and arrange for their removal to, the Homes. The Foster Mothers reported that Miss: Lewis had sent pictures for each Home, and Miss Lewiis was thanked for her kindness. INSPECTOR'S REPORT. Mrr 'H. R. William,s, the Local Government Board Inspector, reported as follows on his visit to the Workhouse o,n the 19th August:—" I in- spected the Workhouse to-day, going through all the wards, dormitories, stores, &c., and- was pleased to observe the oleanli-nessi and good or- der whfitoh obtained throughout the institutions, with the comfort of the inmates- The !Board considered the report very satis factory.

With respect to. the application, for a donation from the Society for the prevention of cruelty t0' children- the Bio-ard dleiCIjidled that nothing fur- ther than the ordinary annual subscription be granted, as a protest against the treatment of the Society or their officer,si in the Owen Jones, Tyiwyn,, case.

Siaturdiay, of the Flintshire Rifle Association.
