LOCAL DOCTOR'S STRONG INDICTMENT. To the Editor Sir,—I read with interest, in last week's issue of your paper the editorial under the heading, "An Explanation Wanted," and e-n.cloi-se' the -op-in,o-a therein expressed. The impassible state of the road to the Urban District Council's Isolation Hos- pital on December 29th and 30th prevent- ed me visiting the many patients I have there at present. On December 31st the snow had been sufficiently cleared to en- able me to drivei from the Conway Road up to the hospital entrance, but on I January 1st, having to proceed thither from Alaelgwvn Terrace via Maes Ddu Railway Grossing! I was obliged, before reaching the hospital, to drive through a reaching the hospital, to drive through a bank of snow many feet deep in front, of the hospital grounds with the result that, besides being nearly upset, one step of my carriage, acting as a scoop in passing through, filled the bottom of the carriage with snow before I had reached the hospital gate. I ask why those who cay rates towards the maintenance of the roads in a condition fit to travel over in safety and comfort should be subjected, three clear days after the heavy fall of snow had taken place, to such personal dan- ger, discomfort and also, damage to their property. For many years the state of the road leading to the hospital was in a most deplorable condition, and quite unfit- to transport a person suffering from, say 04 typhoid fever, over, or for a valuable car- riage to travel o.n. without considerable damage to its running parts. Some years ago the late Dr. Titus Devitte, Medical Officer of Health for Harrogate, called at the hospital, and I chanced to meet him there. A heavy shower coining on, a cab was telephoned for to take him back to town, and he invited me to accompany him. During the journey he commented strongly upon the bad condition of the road, and re- marked that- it was "a disgrace to any civilised community." Subsequently I communicated upon the matter with the Clerk to the U.D.C' quoting! the com- ment's by Dr. Deville. and stating that I would not sanction any of my patients p with infections diseases being removed from their homes to the hospital until such time as a better road had been made. Since that time, several hundred pounds have been spent upon it,, but- to-day, it is but, a little better than it was at the period above referred to. It is not properly pitched to allow the wet to run off, and the surface is so uneven that it is nothing short of cruelty to take a patient; suffering from typhoid fever over it. In September, 1905, I accompanied a visitor suffering from this fever to the hospital in the ambulance, and although it was driven slowly, I recall, with a shudder, his cries and groans, caused by the jolting whilst travelling between the Gas Works and his destination. The case proved fatal in a few days; his death, in my opinion, being accelerated oy the shaking lie received during transport.. Such is the apathy of our local authority for the health and lives of the sick and suffering who, by stress of circumstances., are compelled to enter their Isolation Hospital, that until some of their number, in God's providence, fall victims to an in- fectious disease and have themselves to endure the tortures of the journey there, I fear no steps will be taken to remedy the long-standing disgrace. Vicarious suffering for the common weal has its place in the Commonwealth of the World. Miayit. come quickly is the earnest desire of Yours faithfully, T. L, KENRIC K DAVIEiS, M.B.

DEATH OF MR. HENRY SHEPHERD. A well-known figure has been removed by the death of Mt Henry M. Shepherd, at his residence in Church" Walks, on New Year's Day, 'of bronchitis and heart trouble, after a, short illness. Mr Shep- herd, who was in his 72nd year, came to Llandudno about nineteen years ago. He had previously been a partner in the firm of Messrs E:. and H. Shepherd2- box manufacturers, Bir- mingham, until the firm dissolved partner- ship. After coming to Llandudno he was for three years the local agent of the North Wales Steamship Co., Ltd., and by his courtesy and attention to the wants of the passengers soon became a general favourite with the sailing public. On retiring from position he was appointed curator, under Mr S. Hughes, of the Pier Pavilion, and retained that position until 4 his health began to fail last year—a period of sixteen years. His genial presence will he missed by a, large number of visitors to the Pavilion concerts, for he always had a welcome smile for all who came there. The news of his death came as a shock to the residents of Llandudno, among whom he was a great favourite and his demise will be mourned by a targe circle of friends. The funeral took place at Llanrhos Church on Tuesday, the offi- ciating clergyman being the Rev. LI. R. Hughes, M.A., rector of Llandudno. The body was followed to the grave by the widow, Mr and Mrs J. Walter Morrison, daughter and son-in-law; Miss Gladys Morrison, grand-daughter; Mr Eric Mor- rison, grand-son; Mr Henry Shep- herd, andl Mr Arthur Shepherd, Bir- mingham, nephews; Mr A. J. Wiltshire, nephew; Mr E. H. Stent, Manchester; Mr Oharante, C'olwyn Bay; Mr W. W. Char ante, Birmingham; Mr J. Adey Wells, Llandudno; a, detachment of the Pier staff, consisting of Mr John Roberts (piermaster), Mr J. EL Fortnum, Mr P. Jones, Mr J. Atkins, Mr H. Owen, and Mr J. Meredith. The bearers were Messrs J. Roberts. P- Jo-np-q .T Aflrina J. Meredith, H. Óel: R. Hersee, and T. White, that being the, last tribute of respect they could pay to their old confrere. Some beautiful floral tributes were sent, by relatives and friends, amongst, them being a wreath from the widow; a cross from the children and grand-children; a cross from Mr and Mrs Stent, Manchester a, bunch of jonquils from Marie and Howard Stent, Man- chester; floral heart from Mr J. Adey Wells., J.P. an anchor from the Llan- dudno Pier Company; a wreath from the Pier Staff; and wreath from Mr and Mrs Arthur Shepherd, Birmingham; a wreath from his brother and family at Bank House, Saltley; and Messrs C. and W. Charante, Cblwyn Bay; bunch of large lilies from "Clook" at Sheffield. The undertakers were Messrs E. Thorp and Son, Llandudno. Security against pulmonary troubles, or

I THE COLWYN BAY PIER ¡ COMPANY. I ANOTHER: UNSATISFACTORY YEAR The annual meeting of the shareholders 11 of the above Company was held in Man- chester on December 30th, when the fol- lowing report was presented — The balance of revenue for the past year, after deducting debenture interest, bank interest and commission, was £ 577 Is. 3-g-d., which, with the credit balance of the previous year of JB96 4s. 7 d., makes 2 a. total disposable balance -of £ 673 14s. lid. The. amount your Directors recom- mend should be appropriated as follows Dividend of 2 per cent, £ 563 17s. 7d.; carrying forward, £ 9 7s. 4d. It has been usual in past years to write off a, sum for depreciation (Pier and Pavilion), but as the property undergoes repairs and renewals every year out of revenue, your Directors deemed it un- necessary to make any provision this year. Notwithstanding the great depression in trade^ your Directors feel that the amount of profit earned during; the past year, which is slightly in excess of the previous year, is an augury of better thing in the future. The satisfactory results have not been b,r:ou,ghLL, about without the strictest economy and most careful management, as will be seen on a, reference to the profit and loss account. The arrangements for next season are in progress, and are of a most promising1 character. Your Directors look forward to a more prosperous future, which will enable them to declare regular dividends. Mr W. A. Pryce-Davis having resigned his position as secretary, the Directors have pleasure in statiing: that, they have appointed in his place Mr Renault, Eldrid, late secretary and acting manager of the Harrogate, "Kursaal." Mr Eldrid comes with the highest recommendations, and your Directors are hopeful that he will in- crease the business of the Company. A CRITICISM. A great deal of has been levelled at the directors from various sources at their decision to pay a dividend of two per cent., which will permit the carrying forward of the very smaill sum of J39 7s. 4d. Again no sum has been written off during the year for deprecia- tion, but the Directors contend that "as the property undergoes repairs and re- newals every year out of revenue your directors deemed it, unnecessary to make any provision this year." Upon turning to the balance sheet we find that, the amount spent on renewals and repairs for the twelve months, including painting and tarring, was £ 43 7s. 7^d. Verily not- a large sum to make the directors consider it unnecessary to make any further pro- vision for depreciation, when the nominal share capital is no less than £ 40,000. Can the directors seriously contend thak, it is a wise or sound policy to attempt to. pay even a two per cent dividend when the promotion expenses of C2000 remain on the balance sheet. It would have, been better in the interests1 of sound finance to have first wiped out this £ 2000 and to have devoted the proposed amount of dividend for this purpose.

,3 FIR S 71 CORRESPONDENCE. THE TRAMWAY POLES IN G'LODDAETTI STREET1. To the Editor. Dear Sir,—Attached is a, copy of a let- ter I have written to the Council with reference to the Tramway Poles in Glod- daeth Street^ which I think it would be to the interest of the public, for you to publish.—Yours faithfully, H. WILLOUiGHBY LANCE. January 6th, 1909. The Surveyor, Llandudno U.D.C1., Llandudno. "Dear Sir,—I beg to call your atten- tion, and the attention of your committee to the danger arising from the unlighted condition of the Tramway poles in Glod- daet-h Street. The portion between the end of Gloddaeth Avenue and Chapel Street being especially dangerous, the light here being only from gas lamps, which, being at the side of a wide road, throw very little, light into- the middle, and some of the poles being near the end of the cross roads. "On Monday evening last, I had an accident which might have proved serious. Coming down one of the roads from Abbey Road, I turned into Gloddaeth Street, and on account of two other cyclists coming along Gloddaeth Street, I had occasion to go towards the middle of the road when I suddenly found that I could not clear one of the poles, not having seen it until right on it. My front, wheel caught the protecting curb and threw me against- the pole, injuring my knee. "If the pole had been lighted I should have seen it, and the accident would not have occurred. I fail to understand why oi'l lamps were placed at the foot of the posts for several months prior to the trams running, and then because the trams started to run they were discontinued. The poles are just as dangerous now on a, dark night as previously.—Yours faithfully, H. WILiLOUGHBY LANCEi." MANNERS MAKYTH MAN. To the Editor. Dear Sir,—As a visitor to Llandudno, I recently received a rather bad impres- son of the good taste and feeling shown by a certain section of the residents of your town. The circumstances are as follows —> Last, Saturday evening I turned into the Town Hall to see, what, the popular con- certs were like. The concert I found to be very pleasing, but I regret to say that the conduct of a section of the audience was the reverse. The artistes, I understand, give their services free, and do their best to brighten the winter evening's without asking: any return except a courteous hearing. I was therefore greatly surprised to note that this slight return was apparently be- grudged them. There were many exhibi- tions of bad taste, but I will content my- self with relating one of them A young man near me caused some sen- sation (and unfortunately some amuse- ment) by his loud guffaws. Eventually tjiring of this pastime, he rose, and re- marking; in a voice audible over a large portlion of the Hall that he "could stand a lot, but couldn't stand this." He went out while the artistes still had a few pearls to cast. I am quite sure that this conduct does not represent the attitude, of the residents generally, and would like to see some en- couragement given to the artistes. Yours truly, ERNESruS.

NATURE JOTTINGS. JANUARY 3.—During1 the recent severity a pied blackbird was caught- in one of the fields, which were then covered with snow, outside Llandudno. The bird has been shewn to me and is an adult male, and although looking quite vener- able it is none the less beautiful. The whole of its head, neck, throat and primary quills, together with a portion of the brea,st" are pure white, whiile all the other portions are, more, or less variegated with black and white; the eyes have a pinky lustre, but this peculiarity is usual- ly present in all pied and albino birds. Marked, or, as they are sometimes called, "off-colour" birds are by no means infre- quent, but as there are collectors who de- light themselves in shooting anything which appears to be abnormal it is always wise not to be too explicit in giving the names of the localities which they are seen to frequent.

— — SATURDAY NIGHT' POPS,—A splen- did magic lantern entertainment was given on Saturday night at the Town Hall, under the direction of Mr R,. Owen.

Squirrell, Miss R.. Owen, Miss A. Higginbottom, and Mr A. J. Peacock. Mr Lance acted as accompanist, and Mr Councillor J. McMaster as chairman. This week an excellent programme will be gliven by the "Knights of the Road" from Colwyn Bay.
