Mr J. P. Jones, the Holywell Inspector, was engaged with Dr. Manby, Local Government Board Inspector, and could not attend the meeting. HYDRANTS AT LEESWOOD. With reference to the suggestion of the Mold Parish Council, that a hydrant be placed in the water mains at Leeswood. it was reported thot the Brymbo Water Company would supply and fix a fire hydrant at C, 15s. and which could be used for sewer flushing or drain cleaning, water for such purpose would be charged for at is. 3d. per 1000 gallons, plus 5s, rental for use of hydrant. No charge would be made for use of water for extinguishing fires. It was decided to apply to the Mold Fire Brigade as to the length of hose required and the number of hydrants and their position.—The report was confirmed, and the matter was allowed to stand over for the present. PENTRE, HALKYN. The Surveyor reported that the retaining wall at Pentre, Halkyn, had been completed at a cost of Zz 10s. 6d. Mr Lynes had promised to build the wall from the crown of the road upwards. OVERCROWDING AT HALKYN. The Mold Inspector reported two cases of overcrowding at Halkyn. Five persons occupied one sleeping room in one case, and four adults in the other, The houses were also insanitary. Orders to terminate the overcrowding and the repair of the properties within 28 days had been issued. OBSTRUCTION AT NERQUIS, It was stated that a footpatn at Nerquis was obstructed by Mr Wain. The Parish Council made complaint, and Mr Walu denied that the path, was public. He was prepared to restore the path if the Council was prepared to dedicate the same. COUNTY COUNCIL GRANTS. The Clerk reported he had made applica- tion to the County Council for grants in respect of roads which would be repairtd during the ensuing year. The total grant applied for was £300. He had explained that the Council was opposed in principle to such, but as they were being applied for and granted to other Council, it was considered that the Holyweli Council would be contributing to other roads did they not apply for grants on behalf of their own roads. He (the Clerk) had received a formal acknowledgment only up to the present. SETTLEMENT OF THE TALACRE FOOTPATH DISPUTE. The Chairman said that the sub-committee visited and inspected the disputed tootpaih at Talacre and the proposed path offered by Sir Pyers Mostyn. After considerable discussion the committee decided unanimously to adopt the offer of Sir Pyers Mostyn. He (the Chairman) considered it was the best thing that could be done.-A communication was received from the Llanasa Parish Council intimating that the Council unanimously approved of the acceptance of the offer made by Sir Pyers Mostyn. The Parish Council desired that Sir Pyers Mostyn be asked to extend the path to the well and that he grant permission to the inhabitants of the houses at Tynymorfa, not employees on the Talacre Estate.—The thanks of the Parish Council were accorded the District Council for the trouble they had taken in the matter.-Mrs Batters said she understood tnat the pre- mission would apply to the people mentioned. —The report of the Chairman was confirmed. GARTH ROAD, FFYNNONGROEW. Mr Pickering intimated that Lord Mostya and Sir Pyers Mostyn had arranged to put Garth Road, Fiymongmew, in repair, but before the work was started it was necessary that a portion of the district road should be made up to the level of the Garth Road.— The Surveyor stated that the work required would cost about 4.3 and he recognised that the proposed repair of Garth Road could not be commenced before the district road was put right and the dram attended to.-It was decided that the Surveyor carry out the work on the district road as suggested. TREVOR WATER SCHEME. With regard to the Trevor water scheme it was reported that Mr Feilding had intimated that he was only prepared to contribute if the work was carried out privately, and also that plans prepared for the purpose were carried out. A letter was read bearing upon the matter as to it being a private undeitaktng and that the Earl of Denbigh went so far as to offer the land at a nominal rental of 2s. id, a year. The offer of aooo bricks was made on the same understanding. It was pointed out that the Earl of Denbigh would not profit by the scheme. The arrangement it was pointed out was that the scheme should be undertaken as a private work between Mr Feilding on behhlf of the Earl of Denbigh and Mr H. A. Cope. It was decided, before proceeding further to forward a copy of the letter to Mr H. A. Cope. PROPOSED FIRE HYDRANTS AT BAGILLT. Mr Hy. Powell said as a necessary Pre- caution in case of fire at Bagillt, fire hydrants should be provided. There was an adequate water supply for the purpose, and he proposed that the Council take into consideration the desirability of the necessary steps being taken to ascertain the number of fire hydrants required nd the cost of providing and, fixing the same.-The Clerk suggested as the same question was being dealt with at Leeswood, that the proposition be deferred until that had been settled, then the Council would have the benefit of the experience gaineCL-Mr Powell said he was satisfied so long as the matter had been brought forward. A BAGILLT ARRANGEMENT. The Clerk reported that no tender had been received for the removal of night soil at Bagillt,—Mr Powell said he was inclined to think there was some misunderstanding as to what was required, and suggested that the advertisement inviting tenders be again issued. —The suggestion was adopted.

THE HIGH SHERIFF ON FLINTSHIRE'S UNDEVELOPED WEALTH. The annual extra collegiate meeting of the Court of the North Wales University was held in the County Council chamber at Mold, on Frtday. Sir Isambard Owen, Senior Deputy Chancellor, presided, and was supported by Sir H. Hilles-Johns (hon. treasurer), Prof. Anwyl (chairman of the Central Welsh Board), Principal Roberts (Aberystwyth), Vice-Chancellor Principal Sir Harry Reichel, and Prof. Angus, registrar. Mr W. Y. Hargreaves (vice-chairman) and Mr P P. Pennant attended on behalf of the Flintshire County Council, and wel- comed the Court on their first visit to Flintshire. Regret was expressed at the unavoidable absence of Mr J. W. Summers (chairman of the County Council). The Court was entertained to lunch, on behalf of Mr Summers, at the Black Lion Hotel. Mr Hargreaves presided. The toast list was a brief one. "The County of Flint and the Flintshire County Council" was given by Lieut.-Colonel E. Pryce-Jones. In responding, Mr J. Lloyd-Price (High Sheriff) said he thanked Col. Pryce-Jones most heartily for the kind and courteous manner he had coupled his name with the toast. Personally, he felt on that occasion (alluding to the academical robes worn by the majority of the company), as if he were Saul amongst the Prophets (laughter). Having the honour of being entrusted during his Majesty's pleasure with the custody and charge of the county of Flint, he had much pleasure in that capacity to thank the Court of the University of Wales, on behalf of the Flintshire inhabitants, for honouring them with its presence, and further, to offer a similar welcome in words, to what the Chairman and Vice-Chairman, the founders of that feast, had so hospitably and generously extended in kind. He had confidence they should mutually profit by their acquaintance, as iron sharpeceth iron." He was sure the Court would find in this county many objects of interest— several things worthy of notice and atten- tion, as they also had their seats of learning. Their works could very well be considered colleges, and their manufactories minor universities. What made counties important were their works and manu- factories, and they had many industries of this class, due in the main to the richness of their mineral wealth. But if the ladies and gentlemen of the Court could, by their deliberations, find some means by which these hidden treasures, which abound in _Mr. this county, could be more easily discovered and further developed, then they would be conferring a real blessing on toe masses, by creating a source of ernplofment, and bringing happiness and comfort to many homes and families (applause). For, atter all, the primary knowledge is that which does the greatest good to the greatest number. And he ventured to predict tiiat it the members of the Court placed the county I upon the path of discovery, monuments would be erected in Halkin marble to their memories as the gteatest benefactors of Ihelr time, in every town and hamlet throiigiiout the county (loud applause), and it would relieve the Chancellor of the Exchequer to some extent in his dire straits for money, and debar him from his foxy adventures in raiding hen roosts (laughter and applause).

EXPENSIVE MAINTENANCE. A woman appeared before the Board requesting that the Guardians would allow her three children, aged respectively 13, 9, and 5 years, to be placed in a Catholic Home. She explained if the Board would grant her application she would leave the house, and go to service and contribute what she could to the maintenance of her children. It was stated the woman came from Bethesdai but that she and her husband, then living, had lived in a number or places. The applicant informed the Board that her mother lived at Bethesda. While there she bad out-reliet from the Bangor Union. The Relieving Officer there wanted her to go back to Holy- well Union, and she finally agreed to do so. She walked from Bethesda to Holywell.- The Master informed the Board that he had made enquiries and ascertained that the cost of maintenance in a Catholic Home would be 3s. a week per child. Mrs Batters remarked that such an arrangement would take away all parental responsibility which they preached so much about. The woman, if her children were put into a home, would have the loose 9* leg," and go where she pleased. Mr Humphreys Is it fair to others in the district to pay 15s, a week for the maintenance of these three children, and only allow 5s. a week for the maintenance of a whole family, —Mrs Batters I think it will be better to keep her here for the present, and enquiries may be made as to other Catholic Homes, where the maintenance may be less. I think she is a bad egg," and it will be well to keep an eye upon her. She is of a tramping disposition and really, people cannot pay rites simply to encourage such women to tramp the country.—-The Chairman remarked they would probably have children of the same character if brought up by her.—The Rev Watkin Williams If the Guardians are going to adopt children in this way, and let the parent go free and idle, farmers will not be able to pay their rates at all if such things go on. If you listen to such cases, the whole country will very soon be expecting to be kept by the small farmers.—The Chairman Leave the woman and the children in the house for the present-that will be the best thing.—The suggestion was agreed to.

THE CELEBRATION OF EMPIRE DAY. THE UNION JACK TO BE HOISTED. Miss Evans said before the Guardians met igain Empire Day, May 24th, will have passed. The day, as they all knew, was to commemorate tneir late revered Queen, and to celebrate their unity with Britain over seas. She asked that the Board would request the Master to hoist the flag on the buildings that day-not the Rd Dragon of Wales, but the Union Jack, the grandest flag that ever floated, tne emblem of freedom, and which floats over the greatest empire the world has ever seen. She was inclined to think that they were rathei behind in their recognition of Empire day, and in showing their affection for the old flag, but she was pleased to think there was a greater interest taken this year. Many schools throughout the country were celebrating the day, and the Union Jack would be explained to the children who would salute the flag. Were they doing what they could to maintain the traditions built up so nobly by their ancestors ? She considered that to teach the young the meaning and histary of their flag, would go far to instil in tneir minds a loyal appreciation of their country and of their race. Miss Evans addeu she had taken a Union Jack to their Cottage Home. The Chairman Have you explained the dag to the children? Miss Evans: No, I could not, the children were at school. The Chairman: I think you ought to deliver a lecture to them. Miss Evans: I hope the flag will be noisted here, and that anybody who has a Union Jack will do the same on that day (hear, hear). The Chairman: Have we got a flag? Have you seen the flag we have. Miss Evans; I know you have the Red tDragon. The Chairman: If you think that flag not good enough, we had better get one. Mr Lloyd: We have not got a Union Jack. Miss Evans; I propose that a Union Jack be obtained. Mr Pickering. I mil start it with five shillings. Mrs Batters: Can't we buy one? The Chairman I think it would be very much better if we bought it ourselves. I shall subscribe to it. if you think the Board should buy the flag, very well. Mr Pickering: If it is purchased by the! Board, I withdraw my offer. Mr Harrison proposed that a Union Jack be purchased at once, and hoisted on the Workhouse buildings on Empire Day, and that Miss Evans and the Master arrange for the purchase of the flag.-Mr H. Powell seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously.
