Abergele District Council.
Abergele District Council. ST. ASAPH CRITICISMS CREATE INDIGNATION. VIGOROUS REPLY TO RURAL COUN- CILLOR'S ASSERTIONS. The monthly meeting of the Abergele and Pensarn Urban District Council was held in the Council Chamber on Monday evening, Mr Edward Williams, J.P., presiding. Other mem- bers present were Messrs H. E. Prichard (vice- chairman), W. J. Evans, W. Henry Jones, W. Humphreys Jones, Thomas Davies. George Per- kins, J. Hannah, J. Edwards (Tanyfron), Robert Roberts, J. Edwards (Pensarn), Isaac Roberts, J. Pierce, and W. P. Morris; with the Clerk (Mr. E. A. Crabbe), the Deputy Clerk (Mr. D. Thomas), and the Surveyor (Mr. M. R. Jones). A NEW LAMP At the Finance meeting, held on Friday night, it had been recommended, to fix a new lamp op- posite the Post Office at a cost of 35s. Mr J. Edwards, Tanyfron, moved that the Council adopt the curved-top arc standard of lamp, similar to the ones used in Berlin, the recognised best lighted city in Europe. His object was to have the main street of Abergele so lit up that it would be a standing advertise- ment to the town. The question of this lamp had also been. under discussion at the Streets and orks Committee, earlier in the evening, at which it had been de- cided to fix one of the old-fashioned standard. Mr J. Edwards srtill maintained that not only this particular kind of lai-Dn be used opposite the Post Office alone, but that they be used throughout the whole town as soon as the Coun- cil should be in the financial position of adopt- ing that course. Mr W. H. Jones (Penybont) proposed that the minutes of the Streets and Works Committee be passed. His experience was that the old ones were the best for all purposes. The new arc lam advocated by Mr. Edwards would project about two feet out into the street, with the re- sult that it stood a good chance of being knocked down by a passing vehicle. Mr H. E. Prichard was also of opinion that one solitary lamp would neither be useful nor ornamental It would also be dangerous unless it was twelve feet high, and that would make :t look like a skye terrier." (Laughter.) Mr W. H. Jones' amendment to support the decision of the Street and Works Commititee was ultimately carried. DUXDONALD AVENUE TREES. A letter was read from the Rev. Jones-Bate- man refusing permission to the Council to plant trees on his land alongside of Dundonald- avenue. His reason for the refusal was that it had come to his knowledge that apparently the scheme did not by any means coincide with the wishes of the majority of the ratepayers of the t own. Mr W. P. Morris This goes to prove conclu- sively that some influences outside of the Coun- cil have been brought to bear on this matter with the reverend gentleman. We ought to be more firm with the business of the Council. From time to time we have been, doing our level best to consider what was best in the interests of the town, when we have afterwards found nut that some individual or other has been try- ing to undo the whole business transacted by the Council. I certainly strongly disapprove of such mean actions. It is most unkind, to use no stronger term for it. We considered that the removal of these trees from the main road to the fields would be a benefit to the ratepayers. Our wish would no doubt have been 7ratlfied if the Council even had been unanimous on the ques- tion. but being that that was not so, it seems someone has taken the trouble to write Mr Bate- man-Jones to that effect. Personally, I should verv much like to know who that individual is. We should not be dictated to by single mddvi- duals from every hole and corner, because they cannot have their own wav. The duty of out- siders is to petition the Council if they have a grievance, real or imaginary, and not do things behind our backs. I wish the landowner in question would be good enough to give us the name of the man who lia-s written to him. Mr II. E. Pridhard: I don't know what Mr Morris means by this accusation. It might be possible that the Rev. Bateman-Jones had writ- ten someone to ask for the views of the rate- payers on the matter. If not. and what Mr Morris says is true, then I would certainly sup- port his condemnation of such actions. Mr Thomas Evans, Pen.tre Mawr, tenant of the fields, had also sent a letter saving that he would not allow the trees to be planted on his 1 „ „ r1 .l'C} :l'-L. Mr. W. P. Morris: Who is Ac? (Laughter.) Mr W. J. Evans was of opinion that there was nothing in the letter which would le-ad {hem to think that Mr Jones-Bateman had been written to bv an outsider. Mr J. Edwards (Tanyfron) No doubt he has got to know something by some means from outside sources. The matter then dropped. THE BEAUTIFUL SNOW. The Surveyor wanted to know if the snow was to be carted away from the streets before Christ- riw. and if so,'how many of the streets were to be cleared? Mr W. II. Jones: I propose that the snow be cleared atjxiee, so as to give work to the poor unemployed of the town. Mr W. P. Morris suggested that all the main streets be cleared. Mr W. J. Evans Yes, and Peel-street as well. The little children of that street have to con- tend with large puddles of water when they want to play. (Hear, bear.) M r J. Pierce: I move that the Surveyor em. plov men enough to dear the streets and foot- paths of the whole district at once. This was agreed to. Oh, the beautiful, glistening snow, It muist instantly pack off and go It is bad for the street, And worse for our feet, So cart it away—Tally-ho A HARBINGER OF SUMMER. A letter was read from Mr Tom. P. Viood, Manchester, asking the Council's permission to bring a troupe of pierrots down to Abergele and Pensarn in the summer, with sole permit to per- forin on the Promenade. Mr G. Perkins: I am afraid that Mr Wood is taking Pensarn for Penzance, in Cornwall. (Laughter.) Mr W. H. Jones (Penyfoont) proposed that they grant the request the troupe the sole right of performing on the Promenade. He understood that the Town Ad- Mr W. P. Morris was not in favour of giving vertismg Association were negotiating with the Llanddulas Band to play some selections per- iodically during the summer months. He knew ¡ Mr Wood very well, and he was a thoroughly I respectable man. Mr W. J. Evans was also in favour of grant- -> ing request, but with a proviso that the Llan- I ddulas Band be allowed to play on the Promen- ade when they wanted to. On the motion of Mr J. Edwards (Tanyfront), I the matter was adjourned for a month. He was of opinion that pierrots were a nuisance, especi- ally the going round with the hat part of the business. The visitors that came down to Aber- gele and Pensarn wanted rest, and not niggers. gele and Pensarn wanted rest, and not niggers. I A STRONG INDICTMENT. On the Clerk saying that he had received no answer to his letter to Mr Grimsley, St. Asaph, as Clerk to the Rural District Council, with re- gard to the alleged bad state of the Towyn-road, Mr W. P. Morris drew the attention of the Council to the utterances of Mr Thomas Evans, Pentre Mawr, at the last meeting of the Rural District Council, held at St. Asaph, as reported in last week's "Weekly News." The remarks of Mr Thomas Evans were intended to reflect unfavourably on the work of the Abergele Urban Council. Mr Evans had been a member of that Council for fourteen years; once a chairman, and many times a chairman of the different com- mittees. He (Mr Morris) had just been asked not to bring the matter forward in open Coun- cil, but he felt justifi-ed in refusing to accede to that request. Mr Thomas Evans had proved himself to be an. enemy, and as such he ought to be judged in open Council. (Mr Morris here read the paragraph alluded to in the Weekly News.") Continuing, Mr Morris said Mr Evans' references to the Council is a downright insult to us. He say's that the sewer is blocked, and I say, on the authority of our Surveyor, that it is not. Where has Mr Evans been dur- ing the last three years? We can guess that. I take it that Mr Evans is doing this because he has been rejected as a Councillor by the rate- payers of Abergele. If he was a member of the Council he would have said nothing. To say that the sewer is blocked is untrue. It's a dis- grace that a man from the place should have uttered such things as this gentleman is guilty of. Mr J. Edwards (Tanyfron) suggested that be- fore attacking anyoie. they should be convinced that there be basis for the accusation. He moved that they let the matter drop. The Surveyor, on being appealed to, said: Mr Evans has no right to say that the sewer is blocked. I have been here for ten years, and during that time th, main sewer has certainly been all right. Mr H. E. Prichard If Mr Thomas Evans has said what is not true, he ought to be asked to watodraw his remarks. I remember him as a .member of this Council, and a very good one he was. But I could refer him to some actions of his at that time, and I am sure he would not like to hear them repeated, especially so after hearing the Surveyor saying that the sewer had never blocked. No doubt Mr Evans had some trouble now and again with his drains, as the result of nigh tides, but he was not the only one to suffer. There were many others. But the inconvenience only lasted about two hours. During the last few years our drainage has im- proved immensely. Why have we spent so. much money on the sewerage tanks? To block the sewer, I suppose! Mr Evans was a member ot the Council when it was suggested to spend that money, and the drainage of Abergele is now twenty times better than it was in his time. We ougn to ask him to substantiate his remarks or else withdraw them. Mr Perkins We should not shelve the matter now. It would be monstrous to allow what has been said at St. Asaph to pass us here unchal- lenged. Let the reporters have what is said here as well as what was said at St. Asaph. Mr W P. Morris then proposed that Mr EvaTL9 t>e asked to make his contention good, or els*- publicly withdraw it. The proposition was agreed to, TELEPHONIC TROUBLES. The Clerk read a letter from Mr L. A. P. V. anier, the Railway Company's agent at Ches^ ter, saying that the Company could not see their way to accede to the request of the Council to have a telephone service installed at the Pen- sarn station. Mr J Edwards (Tanyfron) The" ought to be shamed of themselves. Mr J. Peirce termed the miserliness of the Lompany as an abominable shame, and said that in the delivery of parcels Abergele was treated worse than any other town along the Voast. It was time to speak out in no half- hearted terms. Mr Perkins, Mr Prichard, and Mr Edwards (1 anyfron) also spoke in scathing terms of the Company s conduct towards Abergele, and on the matron of Mr Pierce, it was decided to write a strongly-worded protest to Mr Warner TRAIN SERVICE. Messrs G. Perkins, J. Pierce, and J. Edwards were elected as a deputation to wait upon the C ompany's agent, praying for a better train ser- vice. A letter of thanks for the beautiful wreath sent by the Council to Kinimel Park on the occasion of the lamented death of Lady nor. entia Hughes, was read from her Ladyship's husband, Mr H. R. Hughes. A vote of condolence was passed with Mr Hughes and the Kinmel family in the irrepar- able loss they had sustained in the demise of Lady Florentia Hughes, on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr W. J. Evans, who spoke in feeling terms of her Ladyship's many benefactions. A similar vote was passed with Councillor H. E. Thomas, in the sad bereavement that had befallen him in the death of his brother, Mr Charles Thomas. SEARCHLIGHT.
.....-----A Toilet Idea.
A Toilet Idea. A SMOOTH SKIN IN ROUGH WEATHER Oxford always brings up memories of grey colleges, delightful garden walks, and charming river scenery, combined with am air of scholarly culture and refinement. It is not surprising, therefore, that a dainty article, specially pre- pared for the toilet table, should come from that ancient city. fr. J. W. Todd, of the East- gate Pharmacy, High-street, Oxford, makes a special feature of Todd's Toilet Cream, an ad- vertisement of which appears in another column. This preparation, which is not greasy or stickv, forms a delightful balm for the skin, preventing roughness, redness, chapping, cracking, and similar blemishes. At this season of the year it is invaluable for protecting the skin against the ravages of frost wind and hard water. Todd's Toilet Cream is delightfully perfumed, and is supplied in dainty collansibLe tubes.
