The ratepayers of Towyn are this week discuss- ing the question of the rates. It appears that the Urban Council can, if they so decide, Deduce the rate for the ensuing year, or they can leave it at the present figure and carry out urgent improve- ments. Will they adopt a policy of stick-in-tbe mud" or will they show themselves to be pro- gressive ? Now that it is a year of plenty with them they should, if they desire to carry out the wishes of the ratepayers, attend to those things which should have been attended to long ago, Besides the routine work on the roads it is very difficult for the ratepayers to know where the sum derived from the rates has gone to. Nobody would dream of charging the members with dishonesty or even incompetence, for they will compare favour- ably with any other Council in the district, but the Towyn members seem to entertain such an idea of economy as would justify anyone in characterising it as false economy. To keep money in hand is not the best investment, and to keep a town at a standstill as regards improvements is not the best thing for a place the residents of which entertain strong hopes of making it one of the best seaside resorts in the country. *#* All hope the Council will make the rate the same as before and with the additional sum at their disposal decide upon some scheme of improve- ment. There is no need to point out any improve- ments. All the members know of them in fact, matters needing attention are before their eyes everyday. ##* Mr Wynne, Peniarth, presided over a county meeting held at Bala last week to consider the question of a battalion of Volunteers for the county. It was resolved, after a thorough discussion, that the Lord Lieutenont should consult the authorities at the War Office without delay and get full inform- ing as to the cost of forming companies and battalions and forward the information to the several districts in the county. Steps will then be taken to form comprehensive local committee for the purpose of enrolling members and reporting to a subsequent county meeting. V The Government have been worried since the re- opening of Parliament by Mr Swift MacNeill, the Nationalist M.P. for Donegal, for information re- lating to the Spion Kop despatches. Some years ago Mr McNeill used to be very much in evidence in the House of Commons, but of late years he has given comparatively little trouble. Over this Spion Kop affair he has been remarkably active, and his lead has been followed to some extent in the country. People who did not know imagined all sorts of underhand dealings on the part of the Government. When the simple facts come out they will wish they had let it alone for there are in- dications that the Government and Lord Roberts acted with the utmost caution and with due con- sideration for the feelings of the Generals who were criticised. The official correspondence between the Secretary for War and Lord Roberts contains many proofs of this. Certain despatches could not be made public because they contained reviews of the situation and forecasts of the General's intentions and information of importance to the enemy. This is the first point-the public interest was duly con- sidered. The second point is that Sir Redvers Buller's interests were not overlooked. The Secre- tary of State for War suggestedithat Lord Roberts's despatch of 13th February, with enclosures, should be treated as confidential, and that Buller should in place of the enclosures give a full narrative of the operations. General Buller would not accept this and we must admire his manly attitude on the question. I do not at all like the idea of re- writing despatch for publication," he replied. I prefer to leave it in the hands of the Commander- in-Chief and let him select for publication whatever he thinks proper." The history of the transaction is not discreditable but rather the reverse to any one concerned in it. There will be no party advan- tage out of the affair, but the country will be relieved and reassured. *#* In the debate on local taxation—the respective claims of town and country-on Tuesday Mr Chaplin made an interesting statement on the proportionate increase of rates. In London the rate had increased during the last five years by 7'1 per cent., in county boroughs 10'2 per cent., and in the other urban districts 12-4 per cent., while in rural districts the income had been 22'5 per cent. These are facts that should not be lost sight of in considering the justice of the Agricul. tural Rates Act. *#* The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have given their decision on the question of the reserva- tion of the Sacrament and they have found that reservation is in no sense whatever a part of the form prescribed in the Book of Common Prayer. More than that the twenty-eighth article could not be taken otherwise than as condemning the practice altogether, just as it condemned its being carried
