.L. Llanrwst County School. The Financial Situation. The Chairman and the New Education Act. Measure not so Bad after All. A MONTHLY meeting of the governors, of the Llanrwst County School was held at the Magis- trates' Room, Llanrwst, on Thursday. There Wre present Mr O. Isgoed Jones (chairman), Rev John Morgan (rector), Rev Wm. Thomas, Miss Jones, Col. Sandbach, Mr E. Jones Owen, ~fr D. J. Williams, Mr O. Hughes, Mr John Roberts, with the clerk (Mr i eter Mclntyre). Election of Chairman. THE EDUCATION ACT: A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE CHAIRMAN IS OPTIMISTIC. The first business was the election of chair- man for the ensuing year, and Mr Owen Hughes I b Proposed the re-election of Mr Isgoed Jones. Mr J. Roberts seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. The Chairman, in reply, said that while feel- ing very grateful for the honour again conferred "Pon him, he felt that perhaps a change would be of some benefit to that body. He had been acting for something; over eight years now, and e was certainly anxious to see the school in eviery way prosperous. The education imparted was, he thought, equal to that given in every similar institution in the county, or in North Wales, consistent with the staff they were able to engage. They were really in want of an in- creased staff. He was pleased to think that the number of the boys attendiiag the school was ncreasing, and he was also in hope of finding ln the near future a similar state of things in reference to the girls. They were, one and all, feeling acutely the want of funds, and there Seemed to be an awkward, misunderstanding in to the contribution of the sister county. Their own county was acting very honourably towards them.; the governors had the annual Contribution regularly paid them, and also the amOunt for non-educational purposes. More- OV€r, the superior authority were meeting the governors in their difficulty. As he had report- ed to them before in regard to the deficit, the County authority had kindly come forward and said they would pay half of it if they secured 76 other half locally or otherwise. The grant f^ven was made on those conditions. However, t1.6 was very sorry to say that the amount appor- _*oned to be paid by the locality had not yet 'f^n provided. He was only hoping they would able to fulfil the arrangements made with Mr p Intyre, when he attended the meeting of the County Governing Body, and that was to pay, retrospective from the start, the £5° per annum which would cover the balance of me deficiency. ,r .n frey would be placed on a. sound financial asis. They had had a good deal of discussion « over the country about the new Education and really they must think better of it tnan key had done hitherto. When he looked at the ct> and read between the lines, ~e thought it e ruled. to place education generally upon- a Rational system plan, and he would very much ike to see the day when national education was cknowledged all over the land. It would not ,e long coming, and the adoption of the new was a step in the right direction. Regarding the religious difficulty or contro- he hoped that that would not be the cause of any friction amongst them in their educa- _uxs to carry out educational principles. J ear, hear.) He could not tell them exactly ^w the Act would affect the Local Governing _,0cv, but there would be a meeting of the ounty Council during the first week in Febru- and then, he took it, they would appoint a to confer together in the first ance, and afterwards to frame a scfteme k ereby the local education authorities would, jj s°nie means or other, elect their own bodies. ^ar matter would affect them, he was in a position just then to explain but they inJ" l^PeHd upon it that the parties constitut- ion T committee would be men possessed of ^oretk°ught, a thorough knowledge of different districts, and a great experience in j^'tional matters upon local education Jo0-l?s" With those combined together, he was fa ..lnS forward with a certain amount of satis- tile '0n ^n' £ 'ed with anxiety to the working of ig;e new Act, not only in elementary schools Mrell ly> hut in the intermediate institutions as catio '^QP'&d thus to see an end to the edu- *hei n Pr°Wem and their anxiety concerning t«li °Wn financial position.

"It was also resolved unanimously, on the motion of Captain Griffith Boscawen, seconded by Mr James Darlington, that the Llanrwst County School Governors be required to in- crease the tuition fee at least Ci per annum. "It was further resolved unanimously, on the motion of Mr Thomas Parry, that the following governors be appointed a deputation to meet the Llanrwst County School governors to discuss with them the financial position of the school, and to reporlt thereon at the next (February) meeting of the County Governing Body, viz. Mr W. G. Dodd (vice-chairman of the County Governing Body), Mr J. Harrison Jones (chair- man of the Finance Committee), Mr Jas. Dar- lington, and Mr Thomas Parry." Mr E. Jones Owen, proposed that they depute a certain number of members to meet the depu- tation. The Chairman observed that the. whole Board would be expected to attend, and he was anxious to get all the governors mere to hear the views of the four gentlemen appointed as a deputation from the County Governing Body. He wanted united enthusiasm, if they could pos- sibly get it. The Rector proposed as an amendment that a sub-committee be appointed to arrange a finan- cial statement, and make out a case for the local 'governors. Mr Jones Owen then withdrew his motion, and the Rector's idea was adopted. The sub-committee will consist of the chair- man, vice-chairman, Messrs E. Jones Owen, D. J. Williams, W. J. Williams, and Mr Farr. Strengthening the Staff. A report was read from the Liiief Inspector of the Central Welsh Board, in which he called attention to the need of strengthening me school staff or adopting the mixed classes system, and as to the salary of one, of the assistant mistresses which he complained was too low. The Clerk read a minute passed by the Board subsequent to the inspector's visit recommend- ing the adoption of the mixed class system in the school. Mr D. J. Williams said he was of opinion, as he had said time after time previously, that Mr Farr and Mr Williams, were very hard-worked. In fact, they were completely knocked up at the end of each term. As they could not afford to get an assistant master for the classics, he would suggest they secured the services of an assistant who would be able to take tne elemen- tary subjects, as that would be of material assistance to the existing staff, while it would not cost them so mucn. The Rector observed it would be wise to defer consideration of that matter until the Board had met the deputation from the superior authority, so that they could learn what amount of sup- port they could expect from the County Govern- ing Body. The Chairman, concurred, and, acting upon this suggestion, Mr Williams gave way, and the matter dropped. The Almshouse. The application of Mr Thomas Williams, of Efail Ucha, Maenan, for admission to the Alms- house was recommended for approval.

4 The Price of Bread in Colwyn Bay. Interviews with Local Tradesmen. A LETTER recently appeared in a Colwyn Bay paper asserting that the price of all articles of food in the town was very high. No prices were quoted, and in order either to obtain a confirmation or a denial of the facts, a Pioneer representative called upon one or two of the largest provision mer- chants in the town. His enquiries ied him to the conclusion t!,at goods could be obtained as cheaply in Colwyn Bay as in any inland town of the same size. As in most other towns, if a good article is wanted, a good price must be paid for it. I The Carriage Question. The carriage question seemed to be the great bugbear of local tradesmen. In a chat with a prominent baker, some very interesting facts were obtained. And this tradesman's remarks apply practically to the whole of the retail trade in Colwyn Bay. Take my bread-baking," he said. "If I lived in a large town, I could easily reduce the price of bread, and yet make more out of it. In Man- chester flour is delivered from the mill at the bakehouses without charge. I have to pay 12s 6d carriage from Chester, and 3s for the carting up to my bakehouse of every two tons of flour. My baking accommodation must be large enough, and my bread vans numerous enough to cope with the big rush of a six weeks' season. I should say I sell four times as much bread in August than I do during other months. If it takes four vans to deliver my bread in August, I have to invest in three more than I need during the rest of the'year. These three additional vans bring me no return during 46 weeks of the year. I have also to engage extra hands for the season, and every business man knows that such men do not exercise as much care in regard to their work as regular hands do. I have to pay their railway fares here, 1 9 and give them high wages, because of the expense of living in a seaside town like Coiwyn BAy." This view was shared by other tradesmen in the tort\n. They remarked that Colwyn Bay had at the present time a large number of shops, and there was no lack of competition, especially since large firms had opened branch shops, where the pricts were the same as all over the country. A gentleman who represents a wholesale house in the provision line, called attention to the fact that in a small town like Rhyl four failures were recorded this winter in the provision business, two or three in Llandudno, and one in Conway.

0 Llanrwst Urban District Council. The Joint Water Scheme. Uses of a Steam RoHer Doubted. THE monthly meeting of this Council was held on Friday. There were present Messrs W. J. Williams (chairman), T. R. Jones, Wm. Hughes, H. J. W. Watling, Evan Evans, Rhydwen Jones, with the clerk (Mr Hugh nerce), the. surveyor (Mr G. Wynne), and Mr E. M. Jones (the col- lector) Messages of Sympathy. A letter was read from Mrs Griffith, widow of the- late Mr Wm. Griffith, solicitor, conveying her thanks for the Council's expression of sym- pathy with her in her bereavement Mr R. R. Owen wrote to the same effect in reference to the sympathy on the occasion of his brother's recent death. The Joint Water Scheme Loan. In regard to the Council's application for the Local Government Board's permission to borrow the sums of £ 1,560 and 665o respectively for the Llanrwst Urban District Council and the Geir- ionydd Rural District Council water supplies, the Local Government Board wrote, stating there were certain questions in connection with the proposals which could best be discussed at a conference in London, and they suggested that the clerk and one of the members of the Council attend for that purpose. The Clerk reported that the joint committee recommended the authorisation of Mr Kitchen to, call at the Local Government Board offices on the matter in question, and, providing! that suggestion be not approved by the Board, that Messrs J. E. Humphreys, W. P. Roberts, and the clerk with, if necessary, Mr P. Mclntyre, be appointed as a deputation to await upon the Board. This recommendation was approved. Vital Statistics. The Medical Officer of Health reported four births and four deaths, making a death-rate of 18.0 per 1,000 during the month of November. Appointment of Arbitrator. A letter was read from the joint committee, reporting the appointment of Mr Thomas Jones, of Westminster, as arbitrator in connection with the proposed removal of the intake connected with the water supply. The use of the Steam Roller. The Surveyor applied for permission to secure the loan of a steam roller for a period of three weeks. In reply to Mr Watling, The Surveyor said the engine was used for five weeks last year. Mr Evan Evans asked what sum of money the Council had in hv.i:] for the remainder of the financial year. The Chairman replied that the- amount would be about );280 4s 6d. The Clerk: And with that sum you will nave to be very economical. Mr Watling observed that the Denbighshire County Council would not use a steam, roller, and in view of that and the state of their funds, he moved that they did, not use a steam roller at all this year. Mr Rhydwen Jones pointed out that while the Denbighshire County Council did not believe in steam rollers, the Carnarvonshire authority placed great faith in them, because they found them much cheaper in the end. Ine Denbigh- shire Council were also beginning to be educa- ted up to that view. In reply to Mr T. R. Jones, The Surveyor said he only asked for ?oo tons of macadam this year, whereas 500 tons had been used last year, and that was with a view to economising. Mr Evan Evans was of opinion that the roads were in a very good condition at present, and he did not agree with useless expenditure. The Surveyor added that he would only be using a.bout five tons of macadam per mile. Mr Evan Evans then proposed that the sur- veyor use a steam roller for ten days. Mr Watling withdrew his original motion, and seconded Mr Evans's proposition. This was carried unanimously. Mr Wm. Hughes observed that the county authority was not contributing satisfactorily towards the maintenance of the roads, and he moved that they be asked to make a further al- lowance towards them. Mr T. R. Jones seconded, and this was unani- mously approved. Tenders. The tender of Mr O. Isgoed Jones was accept- ed for the supply of carbolic acid for disinfect- ing purposes. Finance. The Collector reported collections amounting to £47 39 4d during the month. Cheques were signed for a total of 4195-
