Mr v H Davies who was the chairman of the Saaitery Commtttee last year, said that he thought the Committee onght to be armed with more power for the treatment of infectious dieeaees, sickness and so on. It would be a great saving in time for iastaaoe, if the Committee could aet without waiting foe the confirmation of the Coutwil, under the guidance of the Town Clerk and the Sanitary Inspector. Another thing where they would Jaia woald be in preventmg publicity. He did not think they gamed anything by sending all theM matters through the paper. to the public. They woull gain a lot if they dealt with the matters in the Committee and passed them finally, the Oounoil just to have a general report. In ^i«w of that, he moved that the Council "dolvate to the Committee its powere under j!«otiou 200 of the Pablic Health Aot for dealing with iufeotieus diseases and nuisances Mqmirinjf immediate attention. lution. ^or said he would second the reso- D w Griffith said that the matter and he thought it Mr the agenda for another meeting. that+iv. u ,mp^r*ya Roberts was of opinion Cwnoritt^ Oeuncil should be the Sanitary Mr Dqvion ,ia he believed that the same Mr See sSd ? ithe townB' resolution. elt iQoliQed to support the •4fSr ^^er disoussion, the Mayor mlnfcinnfld it ta have the matter £ !r ^nS^hat for the next meet- mg. and that wa. agreed to. l « DaTl8B "aid that was the first aT?„.3*?fu'appointment of their man E the chair- man of tha Sanitary Committee he felt it his duty t0 8Ry few worts with referenoe to the work oi Mr Windsor. He thought that, durlllg the taID. Mr Windsor had been with them they had hai very good reports as to sanitary improvements. First there had been a vast improvement in drainage. Mr Windsor had done splendid work in several parte of the town. The owners after spend- ing their money on the improvements were quite satisfied with what they had done, and did not gradge the expense (applause and laughter), They found that whst»h- y w^re advised to do was a rpal improvement. An- other point was that there had be(.n a graut improvement in the oottagee, especially those of the poorer inhabitants. They bad done their best as a committee to improve them before condemning them wholesale (applause), giving better light, and better ventilatson, to secure health and to prevent overcrowding. He thought they had done very good work in that respect. Another point-tlaey had improved the cow sheds, milk shops, dairies a* d slaughter houses, by having, them well Ole-iled, and the pavements improved, etc., Pat, ing them into a proper sanitary conditiot. An4 te prove that they had done good, they had had ino infections diseases from these places (applause), so they were securing for the borough healthy meat, healthy butter, and healthy milk. They had made great im- provements in converting privies into water closets, and they had improved old middens, big, large things containing loads of manure, by reducing them in size so that people are obliged to clear them oftener, and thus lessen- ing the obnoxious and dangerous smells, and adding to the healthiness of the borough. Of course they had bad for all that several oases of infectious siokness, but the Medical Officer and the Inspector had done their work well, giving the cases immediate attention, so that they had had netbibg serious (applause). Their Inspeotor knew all the branches of bis work well, and he had worked hard, and been most faithful to all his duties (applause). In ooaolusion he must say that in bis opinion, although the borough were against him perhaps, to a certain extent, that the In- spector highly deserved the little rise they had so recently given him (applause). Mr Roger Pryoe said that the last year bad been his first on the Sanitary Committee. They all knew he took a little interest in sanitation, and he could assure the Council that the new Inspector had done his work excellently (applause). He had dealt with everybody, the arietrooraoy and the demo- craoy, on exactly the same lines, and he corroborated what the chairman had said as to Mr Windsor being a most excellent and energetic officer (hear, hear).

THB BBIDGS XOT TO BE XADK TJKUKSS THE COUNTY C017 JTOIL WILL XffCBBASB THEIR OR"T. It was reported to the Council that the County Council at its meeting in Denbigh recently refused to contribute more than jSlOO towards the cost of these bridges. Mr Boaz Jones said the members for Den- bigh had tried to induoc the County Council to give the 9130, but they had failed, and had been aeeused of favouring their own town unfairly, although that was not the ease, as they were convinced that 9130 was a fair proportion of the cost to be borne by the County Council. Mr R Humphreys Roberts asked whether, in the face of the deoision of the County Council they were prepared to go on with the construction of the bridges. There seemed to be an idea in the County Council that the making of these bridges was of great import- ance to the town of Denbigh, bat he did not thins that was the oase. It was of far more importance to the people who lived in the districts to be served by them. He could not see how it sould be any advantage to the town to construct these bridges, but it would be a very real advantage to the people of the diBtriots, who were ratepayers is the county. The question now was whether they would proceed with the work. or not. The Mayor: De yoa think the County CouociJ will reconsider the matter, ia the beba ofwbat you have ow-gaid. M* it Hamphrajs R >b*rt* said, he did net think this C»uneil were jestified in spending sueh a large sun on a bridge wbioh was not much use to the town, seeing that the County Council would not meet them in a more liberal spirit. Mr Boaz Jones said it might perhaps be well to ask the County Council to hold a Bpeoial meeting and visit the plaoe, so that they oould see for themselves what was intended. They might then be willing to give a little more than £ 100. Mr R Humphreys Roberts said that as ehaiman of the Highways Committee he was against going on with the bridge at all. They should simply drop the whole matter. MrWDW Griffith said he quite agreed with Mr R Humphreys Roberts that the benefit to be derived from the bridge would not be by the inhabitants of the borough but those who wished to come to Denbigh. He felt great doubt so, to the justice ef throwing the whole of the remainder of the outlay upon the borough; Mr R Humphreys Roberts said that the fact that the County Council had voted L 10 a mile for that very road which abutted upon one end of the proposed bridges showed that they reoognisKi the road to be of suoh importance to the county that it was entitled to treatment and consideration that no other road In the county received excepting one down at Pensarn. Mr Gee advised that they should rather refer the matter back te the County Council than adopt the resolution that Mr R Humphreys Roberts had proposed. If, after another referenoe to the County Council, the contribution were net increased then they ould drop it. Mr W D W Griffith said that was the same thing. Mr Gee: I dare sav, but if you say now yen will not proceed the whole thing ends at once, whereas if you adopt my suggestion the County Council will be able to reconsider the matter. I think the grounds mentioned by Mr Roberts are very forcible, because in the winter when the bridges would be most serviceable, very few from Denbigh go up that way, but the Llansannanites have of necessity to come to Denbigh, and then the bridge would be of the most service. Mr Humphreys Roberts said the Llan- gsonanites ought to take the matter up and bring pressure to bear upon the County Council to induce them to make a liberal and fair alter, when the Denbigh Council would be willing to carry out their share of the' work. It should be made clear to the Llau- sannan people that the blame did net rest with Denbigh. Mr W D W Griffith said it was a matter for the District Council to take up. Mr Boaz Jones thought it vould be rather selfish on their part to drop scheme with- out doing their best to get the County Council to v--ar, I a reasonable sum. Mr R Humphreys Roberts: Unless an inoreased oentribution is given by the County Council, we say that we shall drop it. The Town Clerk: And you direct a letter to be written te the County Council, and also to Mr Grimsley, of the St Asaph District Council, to that offset P Mr R Humphreys Roberts: Yes. Mr Griffith seconded the motion, and it was unanimously carried. INTBCTIOtra DISNASZS HOSPITAL AT THB SMXTHFIBLB. Mr Alfred Jenes, the Crest, wrote offering 935 for the iron house in the Smithfield ereoted for the purposes of an infeotious diseases hospital, but never used as such. It was explained that the building oost iBO, with the Met of ereotion in addition. It was suggested that the Clerk should write offering the place for JB40, and this was agreed to. THB WATBB COMPANY'S CASTLB 80HBMB. THB PROPOBLL ADOPTED. Mr Vaughan Jenes, the secretary to the Water Company, wrote to state that the directors had coneidered the representations made to them with reference to the area of supply for the new Castle scheme, and they had decided that they must adhere to the area shown on their tracing. Mr D H Davies said he fait that the time had come when they should settle this matter. The water was along one side of this lane, and it was the owner's fault that it was not upon the other side. Mr T J Williams had a supply upon the premises, but no supply into the houees from the main. If the supply were too weak, after supplying his own house, it was hiafault in not having a straight oon- nection from the main. At Tanygwalia again the Water Company had offered more than once to Mr Parry to supply him with water by means of a tank that would give a sufficient supply to the row of houses. In that oase aleo, therefore, he found that the fault was with the owner, and not with the Water Company. He was now ready to pro- pose that they adopt the plan on the condi- tions that they had already agreed to (hear, hear). Mr Lloyd Jouea seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. ItB SMITHFBLD AND THB AUOTIOXBBBS. Msssrs Clough and Co., wrote to ask what course the Council intended to adopt as to the turns of the auctioneers at the sales of fat stock at Christmas. Mr R H Roberta (Fexball) proposed that they adhere to their arrangement, and that Mr Byferd get his firat turn this time, as Messrs Clough had it last fear. Mr R Humphreys Roberts said this question was referred to one er two other members and himself, to eeme to. mma arrangement between Messrs Cleugh and Mr I Byford. The suggestion was that the two firms should draw, but the Committee fell that, as Kellrs Clough were a Denbigh firm, they should have the right to commence selling first iu the first year. But when the second year same Messrs dough A Co forgot all about the arrangement and started the sale at the first hour, and there was a scene, aud he hoped they would be fair to Mr Byford, and give him a proper turn. Mr Roger Pryee aaid he was told that nothing was sent officially to Messrs Clough, and Mr Glough forget te tell the auotioneeer of the promise he had made. He would pro. pose that they do not restrict the auctioneers to aay time whatever. There were other plaoss where auctioneers sold, especially at Wrexham, and at these plaoea there was no specified Cim*. The farmers and breeders nsturaUy took their stock to the beat and smartest auctioneer, the man that could com- mand the best priocs, and therefore he pro- posed that the matter be left to right itself in that way. Mr R Humphreys Roberts add that they had tried the way suggested by Mr Pryce, and he had found that it would not work. Those who were buying complained that they eould not be in two places at the same time, and it was with a view to avoiding any trouble of that kind that the arrangement was made. Mr J 8 Reberts said that Mr Byford had a place at Ruthin, and if he oould aell all at Ruthin it was ten to one whether he would bring them to Denbigh. Mr Boaz Jones said he believed Mr Byford; did his utmost to get everything into his own smithfield, and he did run their place down very much, and he thought they ought to support the one who was living in the town. In his opinion one auctioneer was the best, instead of having more there to annoy people. Mr D H Davies said he had heen ia con- vereation with Mr Byferd, who had not oomplaiued of his treatment at Denbigh, but this particular point, of course, did net crop up. He thought it would be the best thing fpr their farmers to have both the auctioneers to sell. Mr (fee thought that each auctioneer ought to be restricted to time when he ought to oommenoo to sell. Mr Roberta (FoxhaU) moved that Messrs Clough and Byford be informed that this year it was the turn for Mr Byford to sell first, but that he must ooouneace at ten o'oloek promptly, and must then go on selling till he bad fiaiehed. The motion was carried unanimously. THB MAYOR TBKDIBB TKAJQU* The Mayor said that he had made an omission at the laet meeting of the Couacil, and it was to thank the ex-Mayor for his kindness in acting all his deputy. He omitted to do that, and he begged to notify his mu-r take by now thanking Mr Mallard for his klM?Mcilard acknowledged the compliment briefly. COKM1TXHBS.

ST. ASAPH. TaB Education Committub AND Ehtl BMOOLS. A deputation, consisting of the Vicar of Rhyl and several educationists, at- tended for the purpose of supporting a petition presented to the Council by the Rhyl Seheol Attendance Committee, atking that the Coun- cil should aaeume the duties of the School Attendance Committee in Rhyl, instead of the authority of Bt Asaph. The petition stated that owing too the irregular aad poor atteodfrnee of children at school, and the indifferent of many of the parents, the local Sehool Att«aet- snoe Oommittee considered it their detjr to eail attention to the matter. The ComaaittM had doeided to petition the Council to apply te the Bdaeation Department for the pow which it was entitled to under the E4uc«.uoa Act of 1876, and which authorised the Council to ap- point a committee to carry out the work-, to the exclusion of the committee appointed by. the Board of Guardians. Thi administration of the previsions of the Act via 8t Aeaph was oircuitona and slow, oausilllg unnecessary loss of time and mousy. The Committee did not want to increase prosecutions bat to lessen them and to increase the attendances without extra expense or vexatioue proceedingsThe several members of the deputation having ad- dressed the Council, it was resolved to refer the petition to the General Purposes Committee.

The fortnightly meeting of the St Asaph Board of Guardians was held on Friday, under the presidency of Mr S Morgan. lIE Howes- Roberts occupied the viee-ohair. THB lPOBTD JBRIDOB. The Clerk reported that the Foryd Bridge, which connected the counties of Denbigh and Flint, was now under the whole oentrel of Flintshire County Oounoil and was situated in the latter connty. The transfer would not make any difference to the Union rates with the exception that it would be a less te the Abergele poor rates. DINBlOKSHOUB COUWTT COCHCIL AJTD ITS raxcspTs. AIr AWKWARD DBLAT. The Olerk etated that he had received a precept frem the Denbighshire County Council for the county rate. He undoretood that his letter oemplatning of the delay in issuing precepts had been laid before the Couueil, but no action had been taken in the matter. It practically meant that the Connty Council d.a -1- -L1. ,,1. _=_L_- .M a! w PIT wasa eui WUOVI qu iii. Guardians. It really placed him in an awkward position. They had to issue their precepts at the commencement of the half-year, ana in erder that he might have an idea of what the county rate would be, he telegraphed an inquiry to the Clerk of the County Council, and read the answer that probably at would cover it. Now that he received ttleproftpia, he found that the rate had been fixed at 5d, or that amount within a foaotion. That meant a large increase. The Chairman: It means an increase of several hundreds of pounds. Mr Joseph Lloyd: Have you not made the rate sufficiently high to meet it P The Clerk said they would doubtless have sufficient money to meet the call, but he did not anticipate the Denbighshire Council asking for tl481 for this half-year. Mr Joeeph Lloyd: But perhaps they cannot help themselves. Mr Li ion" Jrindly hoped the Baud would observe that, it was Denbighshire and sot Flintshire who made the demand (langhter). The Viee-Chairman; Is Flintshire any better? (laughter). Mr Jones.- Decidedly (laughter). The Olerk observed that in 1891 the rate was very low. Denbighshire only asked for .£121i for the twelve months, whereas now they demanded R1481 for the half-year. In 1891, Ad-j8 iwas paid for the whole year. This year the rate would be A2800, for the next half-year was the same AN thib. Mr LI Jones said the amount included a grant lor Intermediate Education, so that amount would not be in the next half-year. The Clerk said the precept included a k rate For Intermediate Education purposes. The eounty rate came to 4d, and there was give- twelfths of a penny for agrioultoral education. It was the first time for them to receive a demand under the latter heading. Mr G Parry: It is on account of the grant made to the Agricultural Department of the Univeriity. Mr ijoyd Jones: The College have acquired a form at Anglesey which they want to equip and develop. The Cierk said the raies had slssady been made for the half-year. If they had xl"- k balance they would be able to make.itep, but it would be impossible to make anothef oall on the ovf-rpeer. He really thought the CoUpeUe ihould issue their preoepts earlier. If they did not pay the money proceedings would have to be taken against the everfeess, Ur Joseph Lloyd: Do you suggest that we should make a complaint against such pro- ceeding. If the oountiea require a certain grant o! money they should ask for it at the proper time, and give use ebaeoe. The Clerk: The precepts should be issued.at the beginniog of sach half-year, the ..4,fl, y., Marofc or the and of September. Mr 'Llo,. Jones observed that the County Council could only send out their precepts after each Finance Committee, and they had to be confined by the County Council. The Clerk: For the half-year ending of Sep- tember we reoeived the precept in July, and the rates were made two months prior, when we did not know to a hundred or two kowauh we should want. Mr Lloyd Jones: The County Council have received no oemplaints from Holywell Hawarden. Mr Lloyd: It must be awkward te draw up the precept. Mr Jones: We are guided to a oertain extent by the precept you sent us. Until we (i.e., the Flintshire Count Connoil) receive the d«>»»»"<* from the different Board of Guardians we cannot issue our preoept. The Clerk I always made it a rata to send in the demand as early as possible. On the motion of Mr Joaeph Lloyd eeoonded by Mr J D Jones, it wasdeoiaed to eend a letter to the Denbigh and Flint County Council on the subject. THB VACCIHATXOlf AC*. The Vice-chairman (Mr T Howes-Roberts) Raid the Committee had gone into tac question of fees allowed te the vMoinatieu emeere. Certain feee were mentioned in the am" aa minimum fees. The doctor was allowed Ie for every child bom iu his district, whether vaccinated or not. For each vaccination that took plaoe in hie eucgery ho reoeived Ss 6d, aad it it took plaoe at the house of the patient he received Ss. Vaoeination statione would be done away with. The Committee had therefore ciesid-A to adopt the minimum fee. Mr Joseph Lloyd asked whether the doctor had any voice in tbe queetion. Tbe Clerk said the Board would have to come to a mutual arrangement 01 refer the matter to the Local Government Board* The arrangements must be perfected before the let of January. Mr LI Jones: I think the Committee ought to tell us what the extent of a conscientious objection is, for the benefit of guardians and the ratepayers gsnerally.

ST ASAPH (FLINT) RURAL DISTKICT…
ST ASAPH (FLINT) RURAL DISTKICT COUNCIL. THE BODFARI DISPUTE. At the monthly meeting of this C :ncil, held at the St Asaph Workhouse on Frid, v, Mr T Howes Roberta presiding, the Hodfari ) Quarry dispute was discussed at some and numerous witnesses were examined by J Foulkes, with a view to shewing that the la. I in question was the property of the Kim estate, and that encroachments wer- i being made. At the outset Mrs Rawlins asked whe' r was a fact that, if a quarry had been of more than 12 years, it was public properr2 it was so, title deeds were no good at al Foulkes had not brought one persor could give evidence as to the shortness <- the quarry had been open, and that wt- the question they desired evidence upon. The Chairman I understand Mr FoulktiS has brought his witnesses to-day. Mr Roberts (Geinas) The quarry has never been closed it has always been open to ihg public. The Chairman: Well, we shall hear evideico on that point. Mr St. John Charlton, the head agent of the estate, is also here. The witnesses were then called into the room, Mr St. John Charlton being accom- modated with a seat near the Chairman. Mr Charlton said the subject in dispute was really & very small matter, and ought to be settled in an amicable aad easy manner. But it had apparently assumed dimensions almost as great as those existing between and France and England (laughter). They had that after- noon brought up their forces and apparently were in for a fight, but if they looked at the matter calmly it was not a very big question. For the Kinmel estate it was serious in this way, that either the District or the Parish Council were taking part of the estate, and al- though it was not a very valuable part, still as landowners they must of course defend their ground. Their contention was that whether the parish had a right to qu&rry stone or not, and that was doubtful to begin with, although they might have acquired a right to take atones from tho oldqoarrvat iirS^jpals—they considered that only about 300 l%j|iW»ad been taken away altogether—they wm. Jtfw tress- passing upon the Kinmel estate, and Mr Hughea was determined to protect his property. Whatever decision they came to, and what he now said was without prejudice to the legal aspect of the case, because they could not possibly agree that the decision of the Council would be -sufficient to allow the parish to monopotiee part of the Kinmel property, the estate belonged to Mr Hughes, and the Council had no right to pronounce otherwise. They were readv to give evidence to show that their position was a strong one, and that the parish had trespassed beyond the boundary of the estate, had gone into their plantations, knocking down the trees, and had taken their stone. Of course they were bound to protect their rights, but they were prepared to accept a small royalty. He did not see the use of importing feeling into the matter. First of all there was nothing to show that the parish had a right to the quarry either the committee must clear out or pay the estate something for remaining. The fact that a right bad been acquired had nothing to do with the question. A trespass was now being committed upon the Kinmel estate. If they continued to go on, they would go right across the Vale. After numerous witnesses had been called, Mr C W Bell said if the Council had in- spected the Jocttt tn quo before they met, the question would have been settled in half the time. All the witnesses called by Mr Foulkes were harping on the same string and did not volunteer any any further information. He suggested that the inquiry be adjourned until the Council had inspected the scene of the dispute. The Chairman said he quite fell in with Mr Bell s suggestion. It would facilitate matters very much. The Clerk said they would get through the business quicker. Mr Bell proposed and Mr Morgan seconded, that the Council hold & speoial meeting on the spot on Thursday week.
