BAGILLT. A SPBOIAII MISSION is being held by the Free Churches at Bagillt, the Missioners being the Rev. Keri Evans, M, A., and Rev. J. B. Williams, Llan- gefni. The Meetings are well attended, and it is hoped that they will be a blessing for the neigh- borhood. BAGILLT DRAINAGE DIFFICUTIES. THREATENED PROCEEDINGS. A letter was read at the Holywell Rural District Council, from the Chester Northgate Brewery Company, enquiring what quantity land the Council desired to purchased.—The Clerk stated he had replied, half-ac-acre of the land adjoining the Cambrian Brewery. The Clerk also stated he had called upon the Local Government Board, when in London, and he had explained to an official the present position of the Council with regard to the delay in the matter of plans and the difficulty in acquiring a site for the proposed pumping station, and he submitted the desirability that an inquiry should be held. There way be opposition in the district, and it would be well to hear what they had to say. If the inquiry was held and the plans approved ot, the Council would have power of compulsory purchase.—Mr Humphreys saidthe ratepayers were anxious to have the matter settled, and he hoped there would be a public inquiry.— The Clerk said he had explained there was a feeling against the scheme the inquiry would be the opportunity to voice any objection, and then the Local Government Board would say whether the scheme would go on or not, and the responsiDility would not rest on the Council.—Mr Humphreys There are some people who do not know what we are doing. It will be well to have the whole matter placed before a public iaquiry.-The Clerk stated that the Board of Trade had inquired what was the present state of affairs. He had also received two lctteis from Mr Gamlin, solicitor, Rhyl, on behalf of Mr Evan Evans, Bagillt, In one letter Mr Gamlin wrote that he was instructed to take such proceedings as may be necessary to compel the Council to abate the nuisance at present existing from the dis- charge of sewage upon his land. His client appreciated the difficulties in the matter and was anxious to assist as far as possible, and asked if the Council was prepared to buy the land, and would be glad to know whether the Council were prepared to submit an offer for purchase."—The Clerk replied that the letter would be submitted to the Council. On the 25th February, a further letter was received stating that it was very awkward there was no meeting uatil the 4th prox., as too much ielay had already been caused in that matter.' rne letter continued" Unless the Council I lefiaitely passed a resolution at theu next ,« meeting a greeing to purchase this land, my instructions are to apply to his Honour judge Moss, at Chester County Court, for the injunction wnich his Honour said in July, 1908, he would grant six months after, it nothing had been in the meantime. Twelve months' grace had been given and the matter was in no better position."—The Clerk: In default of passing the required resolution you must give directions to meet this application for an injunction. The Clerk added he had received a further letter from Mr Evan Evans that morning.—Mr Powell said, without goiag into the matter, the impression Mr Evans wishes to convey is that he is anxious only to save the ratepayers. There was no con- sistency in his -action, and it was time the ratepayers realised it. The Council had done its best to keep down the rates and to con- sistently do the best for Bagillt. If the present proposals were pushed forward, and the enormous cost incurred, it would mean a very heavy rate, and the prospect of industrial enterprise in the district would be very remote,-On the proposition of Mr Petrie, seconded by Mr Humphreys, the Clerk was desired to again communicate with the Local Government Board and to draw attention to the conversation he had had with the official there.—It was further resolved that any application such as threatened by Mr Evans be met by the Clerk.

Some time ago she met with an accident caaaed by the bracking of ote of the top treads of a step-ladler on whioh she stocd for the purpose of oltauing the window of the vestibule, Frocu the results of the accident she had undergone an operation, and was still under treatment. Mrs liurailo hoped the Board would give her application favourable consideration, and allow her a gratuity to lOver expenses.—The Clerk (MI P. B. Roberts) explained that the case was singular, in that the Icsuranoe could not grant any relief, owing to the aocident having occurred shortly before the Com- pensation Act came into operation.—Mr Petrie said it seemed a great bardstip. Mrs Cumins had sustained a severe and serious accident, and had been ut to considerable medical expense, and was outside the act for ay compensation, as tne Ckrk bad ex- plained. H. proposed that the Board allow Mrs Ouains what will cover her medioal expenees.-Mrs Jornsoo Jones: I was going to propose that we treat her generously.—After some fuither duonssion it was decided, subject to the consent of the Local Government Board, to make Mrs Cumins a gratuity ot .£16 to cover the expenses incurred in medical attendance, owing to an accident wbiie in the discharge of her duties.

On the pro- positi- n of Dr Jonea, seconded by the Vicar, the resolution was paesel to form an association. The financial question was discussed at length, and it was decided on the proposition of the Rev Fr Ryan seconded by Mr Joe Jones that a district nurse be furnished by the North Wales Nursing Aesooiatipn or other association, and that the salary be made up by voluntary subscriptions or in other ways, also by fees in maternity oases by those able to pay same.

GRACIOUS OFFER BY THE VICAR. At the Holywell Board of Guardians, last week, the Vicar of Holywell (the Rev J. W. Thomas) wrote to the Clerk with regard to services at the Workhouse, as follows:— With your Board's permission, I propose to hold religious services in accordance with the rites of the Church of England, with periodical celebrations of Holy Communion, in your Board's chapel, for the benefit of those inmates who care to attend. I shall hold myself responsible for the services, which will be conducted either by me or one of my colleagues, every Tuesday, at 11.15 a.m. If agreeable, I will commence the services on Tuesday morning, the 8th inst." The Chairman (Mr J. Prince): Personally, I am very much pleased with the kind offer of the Vicar of Holywell, and I feel quite sure that the Board will gladly accept it. Rev Dr Oliver Perhaps you will allow me to move formally that we gladly accept the offer of the Vicar to conduct services in the chapel on Tuesday mornings, which, evidently is the most convenient time for him. I think it is kind on his part to meet the feelings of those who naturally would prefer the services according to the rites of the Church of England. It will be a sacrifice to him and his colleagues, but will, I believe, confer a great benefit upon the inmates. I move that we make every preparation, and give the Vicar every opportunity of holding services, as desired. Mr W. H. Lloyd: I am glad to hear of it, and am pleased to second the proposition. The Chairman Why not allow a Noncon- formist to second it? Mr Lloyd: Well, a Nonconformist pro- posed it. Mr Petrie: I support it most heartily; it is a very graceful offer, and we accept it grace- fully, as Dr Oliver proposed it. The proposition was carried with applause, and a resolution was passed that the Master arrange for the services, and that all inmates desiring to attend the services be allowed to do so. Miss White said she wished to say how much they appreciated the services of the ministers of the Free Churches, on Sundays and week days. At the request of the Master, it was decided that the stock of English hymn books be replenished. The Master stated it was impossible to get large print Welsh hymn books at a cheap rate.

HOLYWELL. URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Monday evening, when there were present :-Messrs A. Earl, chairman; T. Waterhouse, vice-chairman; Jes. Jones, J. Ll. Williams, T. Griffiths, H. Vaughan Lloyd, Capt. Salter, Dr J. Q. Jones; Clerk, Mr J. Kerfoot Roberts; Surveyor, Mr R. Arthur Thomas; Market Inspector, Mr J. W. Davies. VOTE OF SYMPATHY. The Chairman mentioned that Councillor Edw. Foulkes was ill, and moved that a vote of sympathy be forwarded to him, with the hope that he may soon recover. He was sure Mr Foulkes would be pleased with the Council's sympathy. Mr Joseph Jones seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. THE ASSEMBLY HALL AS A SKATING RINK. At a meeting of the Council in committee, Mr J. Ll. Williams enquired whether the Council would be prepared to entertain the question of letting the Assembly Hall, on a lease for seven years, at a rental of 425, with the option of renewal for a further period at a rental of 45o, He stated it was sug- gested to convert the hall into a skating rink, and that the lessees would undertake all the necessary alterations to the hall. After dis- cushion, it was resolved that the Council would be prepared to consider the question of letting the Assembly Hall, provided satis- factory rental wes offered, and the interests of the ratepayers properly protected, and that Mr Williams be requested to furnish a written general outline of the proposed scheme. THE WATER SCHEME. The report was presented to the Council of the negotiations proceeding with Mr J. Lloyd-Price, with reference to the supply of water irom St. Winefred's Well to the Brewery, for cooling purposes. The sub. committee having again interviewed Mr Llopd-Price, who stated that it was absolutely imperative that he should have water of a certain temperature for cooling purposes, to pass through his attemperatures, and that it was for the Council to decide in what manner that should be provided in case of emergency. The sub-committee, after consideration, were of opinion that the circumstances raised by Mr Lloyd-Price, could be met by placing a ram on the line of pipe leading from St. Winefred's Well to the Westminster Bath. By this means it was believed water could be pumped from the Well into the attemperatures at the Brewery, without in any way interfering with the flow to the reservoir, should any of the emergencies contemplated occur. The matter having been discussed, the Surveyor was instructed to report fully on two questions —whether the present sources of water powt;r will be diminished by the flow ot a 9-inch pipe from the Well to the reservoir, and be sufficient to pump the water necessary for cooling purposes, also, as to whether the placing of a ram on the line of pipe leading trom the Well to the Westminster Bath was a practicable scheme, THE COUNCIL'S BUDGET. NO REDUCTION IN THE RATE. At a special meeting of the Council, Mr Waterhouse, vice-chairman of the Council, reported he had gone very fully into the matter of the estimate with the Clerk and Surveyor. The estimated expenditure in- cluded the particulars:—Drainage, Water, Well and Sanitary Committee, ^30$13s od.

Griffiths, chairman of the Finance Committee, informed the Councu hat he hoped to submit to the Council a statement of the fiaaucia position ef tb Council. He explained that the Committee found they could not reduce the rate from 4s. 6d. in the —It was arranged that the meeting supgested be held on the 29th inst. THE LIGHTING OF BAGILLT ROAD. Mr John Marsden, on behalf of the Bagillt Lighting Committee, wrote stating that the Committee were strongly of opinion that the present state of the Victoria Road during the dark nights in winter season was unsafe to the public generally, and the Committee thought the suggested extension of the lighting would prove a great benefit from a business point of view, as it would he the means of inducing people to travel to Holywell for business.— In the discussion that followed, the Surveyor suggested that the work of lighting could be more economically carried out if ascetelyne gas was adopted.—The Surveyor was in- structed to furnish the Council with further particulars, and an estimate of the probable cost. EXTENSION OF STREET IMPROVEMENTS. The Surveyor was desired to prepare an estimate of the expense of paving the south side of Well-street from the corner of the lane leading to Soring Gardens, and the notth side of Cross-street and Whitford-street to the corner of New-road. The question of kerbing and channelling of Cross-roads was deterred for the present. Mr Richard Jones (junior) had written to the Council on this matter. Whh regard to the public lighting at Penymaes to which Mr Edward Parry had called attention, the Clerk was requested to inform Mr Parry that the matter would receive consideration before the next lighting season.-1 he Surveyor was directed to pre- pare a report as to the best position for lamps for lighting the whole district. APPEAL AGAINST ASSESSMENT. The question of the rates chargeable in respect of the public buildings was considered, and the Clerk was instructed to take the necessary steps to appeal against the assess- ment of the various public buildings.

THE MARKET AND ASSEMBLY HALLS. Application having been made by Mrs Graham for permission to have the Market open and the gas lighted on Easter Monday until 8.30 p.m., it was at the Market Com- mittee decided to grant the application. The other stall holdeis objected, and it was decided to adhere to the usual custom of keeping the hall open until dark on that day. —The nuisance caused at the Market enter- ance by loiterers was referred to, and it was decided to request the police to assist.—The Market Inspector reported there were in the Assembly Hall, 405 chair, 8 of which are arm chairs, and including 20 broken and 29 damaged chairs. He suggested too new chairs for the new hall, also hat and eoat pegs.—The recommendations were deferred until after the annual meeting. COUNTY SCHOOL GOVERNORS.
