Conway Rural District Council. GLAN CONWAY WATER SUPPLY. FLOODED OUT. THE FATE OF LLYSFAEN. The monthly meeting of the above Council was held in the Clerk's offices, Conway, on Fri- day. The Vice-Chairman (Mr. Ben Fisher) pre- sided, the other members present being Messrs. J. W. Raynes, Rogers Jones, Hugh Owen, Evan Evans, Robert Ellis. Robert Roberts, E. J. Evans, Owen Williams, Richard Jones, and W. F. Jones; with the Clerk (Mr. T. E. Parry), the Sanitary Inspector (Mr. ¡Levi John), and the Sur- veyor (Mr. John Davies). FINANCE. The Finance Committee reported that there was a, debit balance in respect of the Conway district of Zio6 17s. yd., and the Glan Conway district £62 12s. 2d. In reply tQ Mr. Rogers Jones, the Clerk said that on that day there was a slight credit in (the accounts of both Councils, but it was very slight. lie could assure the Council, however, that the money would be collected as early as possible. PLANS. The following plans were submitted and dealt with —'Proposed house and shop at Penrhyn- side, for Mr. Williams, Post-office; approved, subject to the 3ft. of excavating being carried out as arranged. Bay window for Mr. S. Wil- liams, Cross Keys, Penrhynside; approved. Villa at Old Colwyn for Messrs. J. Tucker and Son, Colwyn Bay approved. A BAD ROAD. Mr. C. M. Lees, Cartref Melus, wrote calling the attention of the Council to the very dirty and uneven condition of the length of road running from Caxtef Melus to Crow's Nest. It was not really fit for pedestrians or vehicles of any description to travel along. He hoped the Council would give the matter their attention. The Surveyor now reported ithat th-e road had been made good, and Mr. Lees had promised to consider his suggestion with reference to the surface water drains from the drive of Cartref Melus to the road. The Surveyor was instructed to see that the remedy was carried, out by the next meeting. DAMAGE DONE BY CARTERS. The Chairman called attention to a great deal of carting which took place on the road leading from Llangelynin to Roe wen. A good many of the carters eitherhad no brakes, or did not use them, and to impede the weight of the load they worked the wheel into the hedge, thereby caus- ing some very deep ruts, which rendered the road very unsightly and stopped the flow of water. It was also very idangerous at night time for vehicles to traverse along it. He should like to know whether they could enforce the carters to use their brakes. The Clerk Oh, yes. The Surveyor said the carts must have brakes, or they could not get down from the quarry by Llangelynin Church. He met the carts the pre- vious day, and he found they were using their brakes. The carters felt it was' not worth while putting on the brakes on a short hill. He would fill up the ruts with pitching and render the ac- count to' the contractors. Mr. W. F. Jones said that on some roads boulders were placed on the side, and this would effectively stop the progress of the carters. Mr. Ellis That would be more dangerous still. The Surveyor promised to attend to the matter. GLAN CONWAY WATER PRESSURE. A question was asked whether a letter had been received from the Cowlyd Board in regard to the suggestion that they should have pressure- reducing valves on the branch mains. The Clerk replied that they had such a com- munication some months ago, and Mr. John had been in consultation with Mr. Farrington on the matter. Mr. John said that was so, and it was sug- gested at that time to have a reducing valve on the main at Dolgarrog. The Clerk said a reducing valve could not be placed on the main. A Member No, Penrhynside will object to that. Mr. Rogers Jones said that the pressure on the mains at (lan Conway was tremendous, and numerous leakages were reported. There was one house in the village of Glan Conway where the people were practically flooded out. The noise in the pipes of the water running to waste was like a threshing machine going all night, with the result that his next door neighbour had complained that he could not sleep all night. There were several very serious bursts, and the water ran through the ceiling from the pipes which sut^nlied the tanks down to the bedrooms and drawing-rooms and caused much inconveni- ence and annoyance. The pressure was 200 Lbs. to the square inch, and he considered that a pressure-reducing valve, as suggested by the Cowlyd Board, should be fixed on the distribut- ing main at Glan Conway. lie proposed that the Inspector should report on the matter and give an estimated cost of th provision of the reducing valve. This was seconded and unanimously adopted. DUE ON A LOAN. A communication was read from the Public Works Loan Board stating that a sum of £92 75, Scr, was due from the parish of Penrhyn up- on a loan of £ r ,907. They requested that ar- rangements should be made that the sum might be remitted to the Bank of England not later than the 20th March, so as to include it in. this financial year. It was decided' to draw out a cheque for the amount and to pay it in on the 20th March. LLYSFAEN WATER SUPPLY. A letter was read from Mr. T. B. Farrington stating that he ihad prepared a return showing the excess expenditure in respect of which a loan of 18,2.So was sanctioned for the Llysfiaen water .supply, and he found that the total excess expenditure was £ 1,192 8s. nd., and not £ 1,380, the amount applied for. He considered the best thing to do was for the Council to rescind the resolution applying for £ 1,380, and make a fresh application to the Local Government Board for a sum to cover the actual expenditure of £1,192 8s. 1 id. On the motion of Mr. J. W. Raynes, seconded by Mr. W. F. Jones, it was decided to make a fresh application to the Local Government Board for 61,2-10, which will cover the excess expendi- ture and the proposed extension of the water mains. LAND AT LLYSFAEN. At a meeting of the Finance Committee the Clerk reported fthe receipt of a letter and trac- ing from Mr. F. J. Gamlin,, Rhyl, on behalf of Mr. Thomas Buckland, offering land at Marion, Llysfaen (20 acres, 2 roods, and 22 poles), to the Council at lsD, and the Committee recom- mended that the Clerk should write to Mr. Gamlin enquiring if that included the right to quarry, and whether the minerals belonged to the owner. A letter was now read; from. Mr. Gamlin, in which he stated that his reply was in the affirm- ative. On the suggestion of Mr. Rogers Jones, it was decided to write to the Woods and Forests on the matter. G LANWYDDE N R 0 AD-WID E N ING. Mr. E. R. Davies, the Secretary of the Car- n.arvonshire Education, Committee, wrote stating that the Rural Council twere probably aware that the Local Education Authority were now erecting a new Council School at Glanwydden. The road in front of the school was somewhat narrow, and, in view of the fact that the traffic of that district was largely increasing year by year, the Education Committee thought a good opportunity was now afforded of widening the road. They were prepared to set back their boundary wall and to place the necessary land at the disposal of the District Council, so that the widening might be carried out if the District Council would undertake all necessary expense in carrying out the road improvement. The Chairman remarked that this was a very important matter, and was evidently a good thing for the future of this road. On the proposition of Mr. Hugh Owen. seconded by Mr. Robert Roberts, it was decided that a joint meeting of a few members of both Councils should meet on the spot to discuss the matter. THE FATE OF LLYSFAEN. The Local Government Board wrote for the information of the Rural Council that they had received a representation from the Denbighshire County Council in favour of the alteration of the boundary of the county so as to include the parish of Llysfaen, and that an inquiry would be held at an early date. The representation had also been made to that Council, and the Board asked for their observations on the matter. Mr. Raynes said that the parish itself was in favour of joining Denbighshire, on account of being administered now by Denbighshire, both as regards police and everything else. Mr. W. F. Jones: How much will it affect us as regards the water supply? Mr. Raynes Not more than to Glan Conway. Mr. Ellis: It will affect our contribution as a Rural Council. The Clerk: That is the only thing it will affect. Mr. Hugh Owen said he was under the im- pression that there were some letters stating that the parish was against joining Denbigh- shire. Mr. Raynes said he was told the previous night that nearly every one of the Parish Coun- cil were in favour of the proposition. Mr. Rogers Jones asked whether the Council was going to oppose the transfer. Mr. R. Ellis replied that he considered the Council should do so. They had some interest in it, because they would lose the contribution from Llysfaen. Mr. Hugh Owen said it would be the means of losing a Large sum of money to the county. The Clerk said that no doubt compensation would be paid. Mr. R. Roberts said that if he were a resident of Llysfaen he would favour the change him- self. Mr. Raynes I am very much in favour of joining Denbighshire, because we cannot get satisfaction from Carnarvonshire. I shall attend the inquiry and give my views there. Mr. W. F. Jones It will not affect the Dis. trict Council, will it? The Clerk Oh, yes, because it will transfer Llysfaen to the Glan Conway rural district. Mr. Hugh Owen said that if it was a loss to the county by the transference of the parish it would be a loss to the Rural Council. Mr. Evan Evans proposed that they oppose the transfer. Mr. Hugh Owen seconded it. Mr. Raynes proposed an amendment that no action be taken by the Rural Council. Mr. Rogers Jones seconded. A vote was taken, when the following voted for the amendment:—Messrs. J. W. Raynes, Rogers Jones, and Robert Roberts—3. For the proposition: Messrs. Evan Evans, Hugh Owen, and R. Ellis—3. The Chairman gave his casting vote in favour of the ofiginal proposition, which was declared carried-

Carnarvonshire Rates. At Thursday's meeting of the Carnarvonshire County Council, Mr. T. W. Griffith, Llandudno, on behalf of the Finance Committee submitted a draft estimate for the year ending March, 1911. The expenditure on the county fund was put down at £ 49,266 and the receipts at 628,033 and the deficiency would represent an 8d. rate. As to the elementary education account, it was estimated that £ 37,000 would be required for the rates, representing a is. rate as regards r £ 32,000, while the remainder of £ 5,000 would be raised by special levies. Mr. Vincent inquired whether he would be right in saying that since 1907, when the present Council came into being, the amount to be pro- vided for the county rate had doubled, which meant increasing the rate from 4d. to Sd. in the pound. He was anxious to be accurate in his statements at the forthcoming election. Mr. T. W. Griffith complained that he had not been given notice of the question. Mr. Vincent: I have the public accounts here to which vou all have 'access. The Treasurer, reviving on behalf of the Chairman of the Committee, said that the county rate had gone up from 4d. to 8d. Mr. Griffith reminded Mr. Vincent that the maintenance of main roads alone accounted for ,fs,ooo of the increase. Mr. Richard Davies (ex-Chairman of the Finance Committee) said that the explanation of the increase was well known to Mr. Vincent. It arose from an unfortunate mistake made in the estimates of three years ago, which raised the rate to nearly 7d. in the pound, so that it was quite wrong to suggest that the actual ex- penditure had increased twice over. Mr. Vincent denied having made such a sug- gestion. All he said was that the amount taken for the rates had doubled. Mr. J. R. Pritchard believed that with the passing of the Budget the receipts would go up considerably. Mr. Vincent: Probably there will be no rates at all to pay then, but we shall be paid for car- rying on the affairs of the county. (Laughter.) The estimates were then approved.

Carnarvonshire and the Labour Exchanges. Mr. John Owen (Llandudno), the Vice-Chair- man, presided at Thursday's meeting of the Carnarvonshire County Council. Mr. J. R. Pritchard inquired about the likeli- hood of a labour exchange being established in the county. He had read of the success which had so far attended the openin,g of such ex- changes in England', through which hundreds of persons had secured employment. (Ironical laughter from a section, of the Council.) Mr. Maurice Jones observed that he had been informed by Mr. Owen, one of the divi- sional managers of labour exchanges, that all exchange would be established either at Car- narvon or Bangor. Mr. William George moved that an applica- tion be made for the establishment of an ex- change in Carnarvonshire. Mr. Issard Davies What employment is there to be had? I saw with regard to one bureau in London that the only vacancy was one for a porter six feet high to stand in front of a drapery establishment. (Laughter.) Mr. Richard Davies regretted to find a tend- ency on the part of a section of the Council to discourage this movement. Let them forget their little differences, and as a Council apply to employers of labour to simnort the move- ment by sending all applications for men to the labour exchange when established. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Vincent assured Mr. Davies that if his reference was to the section to which he (Mr. Vincent) belonged, nothing could be further from the truth. Nobody desired more heartily than they did the success of the movement— (hear, hear),-but their point was that labour exchanges were not likely to provide employ- ment when employment did not exist. He desired in every possible way to promote the success of the bureaux, and would use his influence in that direction. (Hear, hear.) It was unanimously agreed to apply for the establishment of an exchange in the county.

North Wales Fisheries. A LOCAL GRIEVANCE. Mr. Maurice Jones, at Thursday's meeting of the Carnarvonshire County Council, proposed that a contribution of C40 be made towards the expenses incurred by the Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries Joint Committee for the purpose of promoting the shellfish industry. Mr. Issard Davies called attention to what he described as the unfair treatment of Welsh-speak- ing employees by tho Fisheries Committee. W hile he was a member of the Committee he did all he could to secure an advance in wages all round, but had utterly failed to get the same treatment for Welsh employees as for the others. Even in connection with the recent appointment of an officer the Committee selected a monoglot Englishman, though there were equally com- petent Welsh-speaking applicants, and there was certainly need for a man wdth a knowledge of Welsh. Mr. Thomas Roberts urged that steps be taken to help the cockle industry of the Lavan Sands, which at one time was in a flourishing condition and enabled a large number of poor women to support their families. He also emphasised the need for a Welsh-speaking officer to go among those people. Mr. William George moved a resolution re- gretting the action of the Fisheries Committee and urging them not to overlook the importance of a knowledge of Welsh as a qualification for appointments under the Board. Mr. J. R. Pritchard seconded, and the pro- posal was agreed to.
