LLANDUDNO URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. The first monthly meeting of the Llan- dudno Urban District Council for the financial year ending March 31st, 1908, wa3 held on Wednesday. Mr S. Chantrey, retiring chairman, occupied the chair at the commencement of the meeting, when there were .present Councillors E. E'. Bone, D. Davies, H. Edwards, T, W. Griffith, P. Jones, W. H. Jones, J. Me Master, J. J. Marks, R,. Roberts, T. Smith, J. O. Thomas, W. Thomas, H. Wilson, W. O. Williams, F. J. Sarson, W. Beaumont, and G. Woodyatt; Mr A. Conolly (clerk), Mr E. P. Stephenson (engineer), W. Wood (accountant), T. Shadbolt (gas manager), and W. T. Long- shaw (deputy clerk). A VOTE! OF SYMPATHY. The Chairman said that before entering upon the ordinary business of the Council he was sure the members of the Council would wish to join in an expression of their sense of the deep loss sustained by the country through the death of Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman. The kind and courteous way in which the late Statesman had treated all members of the House of Commons had endeared him to all, and he did not think he was in any way infringing the Council's rule of avoid- ing politics in proposing that, such a re- solution be passed. A motion to. that effect was carried by all upstanding. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN. Mr T. W. Griffith propoed the election of Mr W. H. Jonesi als chairman of the Council. Mr Jones would, be an a,c,cep,t- able chairman to all parties. He had served the town for a great number of years well and efficiently before becoming chairman of the Water and Gas Com- mittee, and subsequently of the most im- portant committee of the Council—the Works Committee.—(Applause, accom- panied with an expression of dissent from Mr Sarson). Mr Jones well deserved the honour of occupying the chair, and he believed he would fulfill the onerous duties attached thereto with dignity and to the satisfaction of the Councillors and town genera,lly.-(L,oud applause.) Mr Sarson, in seconding, said he wish- ed to associate himself with every word said by the proposer. He believed Mr Jones would well sustain the reputation for tact and courtesy his predecessors had en j oy ed.—(Ap.pl aus e.) T'he proposal was then put and carried amid loud applause, which was renewed when Mr Jones was invested with the keys of office by Mr Chantrey and took his seat. In thanking the members for according him the honour of presiding over them, Mr Jones said he welcomed it all the more because of the unanimity with which he had been elected!. He appealed for the support of the members in carry- ing on the work of theCouncil.—'(Hear, hear.) He would have hesitated in accept- ing thei office had he not felt that every support would be. forthcoming and the dignity of the chair respected.—(Ap- plause.) No doubt important questions would have to be dealt with, and they would hold very different opinions on them, but as the advancement of Llan- dudno was the object of all, and to keep the town in its proud position among health resorts he had every confidence that nothing would be done to prejudice its interests.—(Applause.) THE RETIRING CHAIRMAN THANKED. Mr Jame Marks proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring chairman, and said that if Mr Chantrey was as pleased with the members as they were pleased with him they would be mutually satisfied. The chairmanship was a difficult office to fill, but the business of the town could not have been dispatched with such courtesy and goodwill had it. not been for admir- able way in which Mr Chantrey had ful- filled the duties.-(Applause.) Mr J. O. Thomas, who seconded, re- ferred in felicitous terms to the social work of Mr Chantrey, in which direction he believed he was the most successful chairman they had ever had,(Applaiu-se.) The vote having been accorded with loud applause, Mr Chantrey replied, and thanked the members for the great respect they had shewn him while he occupied the chair. He had tried to conduct the busi- nes of the Council without bias or pre- judice. —(Appl au s e.) Referring to the work of the }*ear5 Mr Chantrey alluded to the visit of the King to Bangor, General Booth's visit to the Happy Valley, and the opening of the County School by the American Am- bassador. Most important of all, how- ever, was the visit of the Sanitary In- spectors in September. That conference was the most successful ever held by the Association, and had resulted in much good to the town. (App,l au!s e.) During his year of office the electric tramway as far as Rhos-on-Sea had been completed, and the cars were actually running.—(Ap- plause.) The tramway would play an important part in the future of Llandud- no. He noticed that all along its route in Mostyn Street there wals not a shop vacant, while new windows were being put in as if they cost nothing.—(Laughter and applause.) That, he believed, proved his contention that the town would benefit bv the tramway in addition to the re- venue that would come from the sale of electric current.—(Hear, hear.) Mostyn Broadway had also been completed, and the fifteen inch main completed as far as Llanrhos. That addition would result in an additional supply of 100,000 gallons of water a day, and there was no fear of any scarcity during the forthcoming season.— (Applause.) In undertaking only a sec- tion of the work he thought the Council had done the .right thing, for they had not only provided work for the unemployed at that time, but would have something in hand for next winter.—(Applause.) Llan- rhos Road had been widened at very little cost to the town, and the repair of Dulyn Embankment had also been accomplished satisfactorily.—(Applause.) The finances of the Gas and Water and Electricity undertakings were in a healthy condition, and there would probably be a surplus from each.—(Applause.) One other point he would like to touch on, and that was the effective protection 'of the foreshore. It was a question in which the new chair- man took a great interest, and he urged that something tangible should be done. He did not believe in the present tinker- ing policy.-(Hear, hear.) THE PRICE OF ELECTRIC1 CURRENT. Continuing, Mr Chantrey said that the overseers had been able to reduce the poor rate by a penny in the pound, and he was glad to state that most probably the Coun- cil rate would be similarly reduced.—(Ap- plause.) He would suggest ere sitting down that the Water, Gas and Electricity Committee should seriously consider the reduction of the price of electric current, which was higher in Llandudno than in any town along the coast. A separate committee might with advantage be ap- pointed to consider the pros and cons of the matter and report. The town had just enjoyed one of the best E asters ever known, and had a good start for what he hoped would prove a most successful sea- son.-(App,la,use.) SUPPLY OF GAS. On the recommendation of the Works Committee it was decided to accept the L tender of Messrs Sawyer and Purves for the supply of prepayment n-ietersi and of Messrs G. Glover and Co., London, for ordinary meters for the ensuing: twelve months. THE! QUALITY OF COAL,. The same committee reported that the Clerk had read to them correspondence with the coal contractors with regard to the quality of coal supplied during the past two or three months. The contractors stated that they had taken the matter up with the Colliery, who stated that so far as they knew there had been no variation in the quality of the fuel supplied, and they had given strict orders that for the future the matter should have every pos- sible attention. The committee had instructed the Gas Manager to keep up the supply of gas to 17 candles, but Professor Beaumont asked if it was necessary to keep it up to that standard. The Chairman replied that it had always been kept up to that standard. Mr Beaumont: What is the difference between the price of cannel and ordinary gas coal. The prices having been given as 15s. 6d. and 16s. per ton respectively, Mr Beaumont said it cost a lot more money to keep it up to 17 candle power, but pro- posed ais an amendment that the present candle power be maintained. The amendment was withdrawn after Mr T. W. Griffith had explained that the extra cost was very little and, the light much better by using the cannel coal in conjunction with the ordinary gas coal. HUMANE SLAUGHTERING OF ANIMALS. Mr W. O. Williams complained that the recommendation of the Sanitary Com- mittee that the butchers of the town be requested to carry out as far a possible the regulation of the Local Government Board relative to the humane slaughter- ing of animals was too mild, and proposed that the Sanitary Committee be instructed to take measures to enforce the regula- tions. Mr McMaster, in seconding, said it was the duty of the Council to enforce the regulations. The matter was eventually referred back to the Sanitary Committee for further consideration on the lines indicated in the resolution. THE CARE OF BATHERS. The Bye-laws Committee reported hav- ing further considered the application of Professor Short for permission to teach swimming opposite the Ladies' Bathing Ground, and recommended that the per- mission be granted. Mr Jameis Marks asked if that would mean Professor Beaumont leaving the shore during ordinary bathing hours. He had no desire to interfere with Professor Short, but if the proposal meant that Mr Beaumont would leave the shore he would propose an amendment. Mr W. O. Williams said Professor Short had made an application to the committee, and which they had granted without casting any reflection on or wish- ing to interfere in any way with Mr Beau- j monlt, ( Mr Hugh Edward's explained that Prof. Beaumont had permission to teach swim- ming and attended to ladies only.- (Laughter.) Professor Short had a simi- lar privilege on the gentlemen's and mix- ed bathing ground. He thought it would be better to continue on the same lines. Mr McMaster: Is any disability attach- ed to Mr Beaumont now he is a member of the Council? The Clerk: None whatever. Mr Bone Would granting the permis- j sion lead to touting? If so we had better allocate certain portions of the beach to each. M;r Marks proposed that ths matter be referred back with a view to that being done, but Mr Beaumont said he would like to explain his position. He did not want to go near the shore any longer, his doctor having advised him not to. He did not intend to leave it, however, until some one came up able to save lives. Not a single life had been lost while he was on the ladies' portion of the beach, and he intended to keep possession until someone came forward. As to the value of the con- cession he could assure the Council that its value for some years had not been equal to a penny an hour for the time he spent there. Mr Robt. Roberts supported the recom- mendation of the Bye-laws Committee, but the amendment was eventually seconded ¡ and carried. ct:L"Ki. ,1 __I.- LIGHT RAILWAY BYE-LAWS. At a meeting of the Bye-laws Committee on April 8th the regulations and Bye-laws proposed to be made by the Light Rail- way Committee were considered, and sub- ject to slight alterations and additions the Clerk was instructed to inform the Com- pany ihai no objection wa's seen to them, but "chat they expressed no opinion as to their reasonableness. Mr Marks refered to the overcrowd- ing of the cars during the- Easter holidays, and said it might have led to accidents. He would like to see the number of peo- ple each car was allowed to carry enforced. Mr W. O. Williams: Experience has taught us 'something, and he proposed that the matter be referred back. This was seconded by Mr J. O. Thomas and agreed to after some discussion, in which Messrs Pierce Jones, H. Wilson, and T. W. Griffith took part. A VOTE: OF THANKS. A vote of thanks was accorded to Mr T. W. Griffith for his gratuitous services in disposing of what was humorously termed "The Lusitania," now lying on the beach. A RECORD COLLECTION OF RATES. In moving the adoption of the minutes of the Finance Committee Mr McMaster said that of the £ 15,500 rates for the year, with the exception of £44, all had been collected, an unprecedented collection in the annals of the Co un cil.« Applause.) There would be a surplus of 22,50 this year, as compared with JE99 last year.- (Applause.) THE PURCHASE OF COAL WAGGONS, The Sub-Committee appointed by the Water, Gas and Electricity Committee to consider in detail the tenders received for the sale to the Council of coal waggons reported that after obtaining further par- ticulars from the competing firms they came to the conclusion that it would be advisable to purchase outright 20 trucks 15' 6" x 7' 0" x 4' 0" at the sum of J368 each or a total of Cl360 from the Midland Railway Carriage and Wagon Company. and recommended the Council to take that, step and make application to the Local Government Board for sanction to borrow the money required for the pur- pose. The Sub-Committee further recom- mended that the said tender be accepted on the following conditions) namely:- (a) That the trucks to be supplied com- ply in every respect with the requirements of the Railway Clearing House, a certi- ficate to that effect to be produced in evi- dence. (b) That the wagons to be sup- plied be delivered on or before Monday, the 22nd day of June, under a penalty of 10s. per truck per week or part of a week. (c) That the wagons be maintained by the Company for a period of seven years at a sum of £'1 10s. per truck per annum—this sum to include twice painting and letter- ing, in addition to the first painting and lettering—the lettering to be as decided by the Gas Committee. The Sub-Com- mittee estimated that in purchasing the wagons outright instead of on the hire purchase system for seven years there will be a saving of £ 108. After some further dicussion the recom- mendation was carried by ten votes to six. ST. MARY'S ROAD ADOPTED AS A HIGHWAY. The Surveyor reported that St. Mary's Road had been completed, and was in a, condition to be adopted as a highway re- pairable by the inhabitants at large. It was resolved that pursuant to Section 19, of the Private Street Works Act 1892, the Council be recommended to affix notices in the said street declaring the same to be a, highway repairable by the inhabitants at large. AN UNKERBED PATH. The attention of the Council was called to the unkerbed state of the, footpath on the Elast Side of the Catholic Church, and the Surveyor was requested to communi- cate with the Church Authorities and in- form them that it is desirable for this part of the road to be completed, and the Committee hope the Church Authorities will see their way to kerb1 and channel the path at an early date. Upon this, work being done the Council will aisphalte the path. CARETAKERS AT LLANDUDNO. With regard to the appointment of Caretakers for the public conveniences, the Surveyor submitted a list of the duties, etc. to be performed by those appointed, which was amended so tha,t the hours on Sundays will be as fo,flows:-All cleaning and other work to be completed by 9 30 a.m., the attendants then to be relieved until 1 o'clock, from which time they will remain on duty until 4 30; from this hour until closing time they will be at liberty, but they must attend to close the prem- ises at 9 p,. m. There were 10 applications for the post as caretaker of the women's lavatories for four vacancies, and the following appoint- ments were made:—Mrs B. Roberts, 10, Jubilee Street; Mrs Elizabeth Eidwards, Bro Dawel, Tan-yr-ogo; Mrs Ellen Jones, Grove Cottage; Mrs Elizabeth Jones, 4, Ty Gwyn Road. Eight applications were considered for three vacancies in the men's ,conveniences, and the following applicants were appoint- ed, namely:—'William Roberts,, 6, Bryn- ford Cottages; Hugh Hughes, Cilgwyn Cottage; Edward Jones, Fern Bank. PAINTING TENDERS. The following tenderis were submitted for painting the Invalid Shelters, namely Mr R. D. Roberts, 247 15s. 6d.; Mr Griffith Roberts, JB51 9s.; Mr J. E. Wil- liams, E42 5s. 3d. Mr J. Hughes, Graigydon,£38 lis. 9d.; Mr Rl. T. Owen, 249 Is. 9d. It was resolved: that the tender of Mr J. Hughes be accepted. THE COUNCIL AND THE JOINT ■SANITARY COMMITTEE. Mr Pierce Jones and Mr James Marks reported on the recent conference between the Education Committee, the County Council and the Sanitary Authority., which they had attended as delegates, from which it appears that there is some prospect of a satisfactory arrangement being arrived at. Pending this and the fate of the Town b Planning Bill introduced into Parliament by Air John Burns, Mr Sarson withdrew the resolution standing in his name with reference to the appointment of a medical officer of health for Llandudno. HOUR AND DAY OF MEETING. On the motion of Mir J. O1. Thomas, it, was decided that this Council meet at 6 30 p.m. on the third Wednesday in each month. APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEES. The lists of committees decided upon by the members in committee a week ago was agreed to, with the exception that Mr Marks at his own request was transferred to the Gas and, Water Committee in place of Mr Wilson, who wasallotted Mr M!arks' place on the Works Committee. This arrangement gives three ?n b on that Committee to the Eastern and Western Wards and four to to the Central The Pier Order Committee, Library Building Committee, Parliamentary Committee and Railway Facilities Com- mittee were re-appointed. FIRE BRIGADES' UNION. A further 'letter was read from the Secretary of the National Fire, Brigades Union on the holding of competitions for 1907. It appears that, GOllway had found) itself unable to make good their invitation, to hold the competition in that borough, and Llandudno was appealed to in the emergency. The letter was referred to the Bye-laws Committee with power to act. Mr S. Chantrey proposed the following resolution of which he had given notice of motion. That in moving a resolution or proposing an amendment on any mat- tiers a member of the Council shall before speaking on the subject read the resolu- tion which he proposes to move. This was carried unanimously.

GONE OVER FOUR YEARS. NO RETURN. No return wanted. Four years cured. Splendid statement by a Denbigh woman. Mrs C. Evans, 112, Henllan Street, Denbigh, says: "For years I suffered! with my back; now and again the pains were so severe that I could hardly walk across the room, or stand upright. When I lifted anything it caused a sharp pain to shoot through my back, just for all the world like a knife-stab. I used to come over very dizzy, and little specks seemed to be before my eyes. "I tried numerous remedies, but none of them were able to give me relief. I am glad! I decided to try Dean's hacka,che kidney pills, for they have proved a bless- ing to me. Within a few days I felt a lot better^ and soon I was quite free from pain. I am grateful for the cure Doan's backache kidney pills have brought me, and I shall certainly recommend them. Over 4 years after Mrs E!vans made the above statement she said —"I am plealsed to be able to say I have not suffered with backache or kidney complaint ever since Doan's backache kidney pills cured me. My cure has proved a long-standing one, and I look upon Doan's as a, splendid' medicine." Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence). Of all chemisfts and stores, or .post free, direct from Foster.-McClellan Co., 8, Wells- street, London, W. Mrs Evans was cured by Doan's be sure that you get "DOAN'S."

EASTER, AT ORMEISCLIFFE. At Ormescliffe an elaborate programme of entertainments was arranged .for the Easter holidays. The guests, which were even more numerous than usual (thei house being packed) thoroughly appre- ciated the various events, but by far the most popular was the Fancy Dress Ball, arranged for Monday evening, practically every guest in the house) appearing in costumes. Novelty was; the leading feature, but many were really works of art. A very striking costume was made entirely from copies of the "Llandudno Advertiser," but as this was worn by Miss Berry, one of the hostesses, it did not compete for a prize; the prizes were awarded by popular verdict. The first lady's going in favour of a splendid1 re- presentation of a Milkmaid by Mrs Irving, of Manchester. The first gentleman's prize also goes to the same City, being won by Mr Jack Marshall for a screamingly funny get-up of a baby with bottle. Among the many pretty children's dresses, Miss Poppy Blanchard, of Sheffield, gained the ver- dict, dressed as Poppy; other costumes well deserving of mention being that of a Gipsy, a Puritan Lady, a charming Irish Colleen, with her basket of eggs, a Postal Pillar Box, Lamp Shades, a Serviette, the room presenting a gay spectacle with Courtiers, Indian Chiefs, adorned in their war paint and feather, while niggers and pierrots rubbed shoulders with men from the East in the form of Japs, and John Chinaman with his pig tail; two curates were assiduous in their attentions to a sister of mercy, who had to appeal for protection to the Lord Chief Justice, and keeping an eye on all was Mephistopheles. Great fun was caused in arranging the whole party in a group to be photograph- ed, but the fun waxed more furious as the evening advanced, and the dancing began. The evening will long be remem- bered, as it was generally admitted that it was the most successful Fancy Dress Balls that any of the guests had parti- cipated, and some had been present at similar functions in hydros, etc. all over the country. The guests of Mr and Mirs Allen Smith and Miss Berry may well wish to return so often if this Easter's programme is a typical one, which I am told it is.—Contributed by A Guest.
