The House Committee reported that the cle.-k had brought up the question of the insurance of inmates employed by the Guardians for special work in the house, having regard to the ease recently decided where a Board of Guardians had to pay com;wl1sa- tion for injury sustained by an inmate of a work- house. The Committee repoiled instructing the clerk to make enquiries as to insurance, and to report at a future meeting. THANKS. The same Committee reported that Mr Denbigh Cooper, of Llandudno, had visited the house, and dis- tributed illomy and sweets amongst the children, and tea amongst the old women. Mr Cooper was accorded the thanks of the Board for his kindness. FINANCE. The Finance Committee reported that the. balance at the bank on August 24th, amounted to £ 5,085 2s 9d. Of that amount however, C227 78 9d were to be de, ducted on account of outstanding cheques. Other cheques to the amount, of £4,024 14s 5d were ordered for payment. Contributions of £3.000 and £1,000 were paid from this sum to the Carnarvon and Denbigh County Councils, respectively. A PAUrER'S BEQUEST. The Clerk reported that a Llandudno pauper luna- .?, I;e(l EiO R,er 1,;ni. ti(? lia,lI T'iie had been pr;)Illi3ed ti) tjie tioar(l, btt fit(' widow of the man now claimed it, and she refused to sign an m:,1ertakin6 that the money be handed over to the Guardians. She wanted to pay over the ,tin( ),,int i?i instatnients tnd the Iuestion f,)r the Liaii- dudno relief committee was whether or not the widow be allowed the time requested. In reply to Mr 0, W. Roberts, The Clerk sa.id that the Board had spent more than £ ■'• ) over the deceased, but they could not compel the woman to sign the docuiHpnt in question, though they C0111d proceed for its recovery. It was decided to adjourn consideration of the question pending the receipt of further particulars. CHILDREN AS PAUPERS' MESSENGERS. Dr. Spinther James called attention to the lax manner in which children were allowed to receive relief on behalf of paupers. There was an old law that children be not allowed to do that. There was also an old "saying that they should train up a child in the way he should go, and it was incumbent upon the Board to see that children were not allowed to have anything to do with that business (hear, hear). There was something in the atmosphere which was not calculated to improve the youthful character. He had personally noticed young girls, well dressed and well trimmed, at the pay stations waiting for relief for others. Such a thing was shameful (hear hear). He believed the officers of the Union should be instructed to carry out the. regulations strictly. If a pauper was unable to come for his or her money the officer concerned should ascertain the reason, and to I(tt as lie thought best, but that under no circum- stances should children be allowed to take the money. Mr Hugh Owen seconded. The Chairman asked whether it was true that child- ren were allowed to take money as indicated. The Relieving Officers repliod that under certain circumstances the practice had been carried out. Mr McClement objected to laying down any Jilin) and fa?' r(ile over tli?, tl,.ere w,?re many paupers too old or ill to be able to go to pay- stations two, or may be two and a half, miles away fer the relief paid to their. As long ,%3 the Board were satisfied that the cases concerned were ¡j"tT- ing of relief he saw no reason why the Board should compel the paapers to fetch the money. Dr. Jain" We want. t,) keep these children from the worldlOlIse (hear, hear). bir McClement said he had known plenty of child- rpn who liar! been fetching relief for years, and who had grown im to be a credit to the Union. He sug- gested that the matter be left to the discretion of <!«#» relieving officers. The law on the point was an old one which, like nio-nv others, wnn!«d revising. Mr R, RohertR Raid iie was of the same opinion as the previous speaker. The Chairman said he believed Dr. James had been present at the recent conference having regard for the manner in which he had taken up that lnatfei* He (Mr Ra\.n..s) said it. ha-d opened his eyes to find such an unanimity of opinion on the question at conference. He was fu'.lv in accord with Dr..Tames' view, The conference seemed inclined ff) Z:) further slid in the matter, RnnHt. spftakers suggesting that pav stations be abolished altogether, and that. the relief lie jmid to the recipirnt in their own houses. If he ¡"1 lis* own way t-hat step would be taken in the C mway Union. Dr. James replied to the {lisc1:"ion, and. on lining- put t-o the meeting, the Board accepted it resolution on the lines suggested by Dr. James by a. majority of sixteen to seven.. On the motion of Mr T. Ahram. seconded hr Mr W. K.Tones, it was further decided that the relief committees take into consideration "the 'question of p\(1:11f. r:r R!tj;)n. INDUSTRIAL TRAINER'S APPOINTMENT. Out of six applicants, Mk-a Nellie Jones, of "The Shin," Glan Conway, was ;¡ppulHte\1 an industrial trainer at the house. REPRESENTATION AGAIN DISCUSSED. The; CIerI, pointed out that there was a technical error in the County Council order relating to the decision giving Colwyn Buy an increased representation on the Board, and it, was decided that the attention of the aulhority be called to the matter. In accordance with notice Mr P. H. McClement then moved "that as the Joint. Committee of the County Councils of Carnarvon and Denbigh have consented to grant the Colwyn Bay Urban District Unen addi- tional Guardians, this Board apply to the said County Councils for further representation pro rata or in accordance with the Guardians' application of .iune, 1902." Speaking in support of the resolution, Mr Mc- Clement said that if it <va3 carried into elieet the only difference in the constitution of the Board would be that, Conway, Llandudno Llysfaen, and Penmaen- niawr would have one more Guardian each. The Clerk: No, sir. It will mean one for Conway, ore for Dwygyfylclii, and one for Llandudno-cum- F.jilwvarhos. The Chairman: And one for Llysfaen. The Cierk said that was not the case, as they would apnly under the 1932 basis, which provided I would apply under the j!)J: hsi", whidl pJ'o"icted I (01'. ¡m];' 44 Gua.n¡ian on I.be Board.

Meredith Hughes said Uwt as the Colwyn Bay district had made the application on their own behalf it was only fair that other districts, where it was felt that the ion was 1;11 f"ir. should do the same. He did not think that step should h, taken by the Board. Mr Abram said the Colwyn Day application came indirectly from the Board, and if the present RUg" gestion wore adopted only one inquiry would be neces- sary. whereas if each district put forward an ap- plication there would be several inquiries which would entail unnecessary expense. Mr McClcment's motion wag carried by 11 votes to 10. HALF-YEARLY ESTIMATE. Ti?e Clerlc s,ibinitt,.d LI.,e catim?-t(, fi),* tlle ijulf Lady Da.il, t(,?7.

The officer said that from complaints received about some la-ds from Llanrwst bathing in the '?'v?. a, -r Conway, he went in pi in clothes to the spot mentioned and there he found seven or eight lads altogether. Three of them only were wearing bathing dre.-ses. Sergeant, Breeze, who was the prosecutor, con- tended that several proceedings had been taken under the county bve-laws, and lie was certain it had been tested in that court, and a conviction followed. The Clerk: Not under these bye-laws: Mr Griffith submitted that the cases must ne'oesf.arily fall to the ground. It was the custom from t-imc immemorial for people to bathe at that spot. He (Mr Griffith) was certain that the very object of the byc-!aw was not to bring little boys like the defendants before the-ii. A fino of Is ee-ch and costs was imposed. CRUELTY BY A BLIND MAN.

THE MOSTYN PEDIGREE. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir,—I notice that the Va-ughan side of the Mostyn pedigree is stated to be English. This is not correct, although there were certain English ancestors in their pedigree. The Vaughans, of Kors-y-Gedol, Merioneth, repre- sent the oldest side of the Mostyn family, and have also a derivation, common to a great many other Welsh families. Tho deseent is from Owain Gwynedd in the senior lin to Llewelyn, etc. There is, of course, another descent from the junior branch, from Owain Gwynedd. as represented by the Wynns of Gwydr.—I am, otc., PEDIGREE.

Mr Ifta.ynes called attention to a minute re- lating te the previous Council meeting, with re-feiren.ee to a communication to the Colwyn E"v U a--I-ng v?'betL,(-r t'i?t autho-rt-? wc-:c Nvilli-ig to lay 2,,0 yatcis -)?f i,ir)-o lir)?? o.,i the Co,,d -stai- ti Rur3,1 Council p,id a tlie fec+,, ???at tie Colw)m Bay Council were a'recdv carrying out similar work up to the boundaTy of therr own dis- trict,. The speaker inqu red whether any in- formation had been obtained from the Colwyn Bay authority. The Clerk read a letter frctm the Colwyin Bay Council -tat;d-g that they could not under- t?jke to by wafer mains outside their own district, inasmuch as tliere was a possibility that they might be placed in difficulties in ocancctioi with the matter. Mr Raynes protested against the Colwyn Bay Council's decision, contending that they were doing nothing but puttimg difficulties in the way of the improvement. Tire Clerk read a. letter from Mr McNicoll. agent to the Coedecch Estate, asking the Rural Council to do the work in view of the Colwyn Bay Council's decision, pointing out tha.t t-he. matter was very urgent. Mr Ravnos: It's a.bsurd to thiri-li that the Colv. n Bay people aire doing tho work on their o'n part of the road, and now they re- fuse to do this extra little bit when wo offer them £ 150 for it (hear, hear). Mr Aneurin Jones: They a-To playing with tho mattor. This 13 simply placing an obstacle in our way again. Mr Hugh UWCIll suggested that it would be be»ar,r to get Mr McNicoll to obtain the Colwyn Bay C-ouineil's consent t-o connecting the two parts of tho pipeline, and that the Rural Ooruneil did the work themselves. After d. '-hort discussion, the Council adop- ted this suggestion. LLYSFAEN RIGHT OF WAY. The Clerk reported the revult of the inquiry 'th n i a, iv 1 t,, the r-,ight L4 fixing two gates on a abort road running between some fields eonneoted with the Tygwyn Farm, Llysiaen, by Mr W. Parry, the tenant of the fa.1"n jviforrod to. Mr Parry eta-ted the road was narrow, rough and short, and was ap- paivnitly vory little used. The gates put up, however, Lad the effect, of making the road still mairrower. The tenant of Tygwyn claimed the rctad as his private property. He (the speak or) liad "een the deeds concerning the p rop(),rty, and they. d:d not show that it was a private jxxld. In the -rdnance map, also. it was simply marked as an ordinary road. it, now remained for the Council to decide whether they would allow the gates to remain. Mr Parry, the tenant of the farm, attended, and stated he had no intention of preventing the use of the road by the public, his sole dec ire being to prevent his oat.tie straying. Asked by 1113 Chairman whether he would be prepared to pay Is per ,1 t.iunn by way of a nominjal rent for the privilege., Mr Parry said tie failed to x e why he hould pay for doing something which was of benefit to the public in general. After Mr Parry had retired, The Chaiiman said they must be jealous cf the rights of the public in connection with public roads, but it remained to be seen whether the Council had the power to charge the rent suggested. Mr Ed Williams said th-oro waz no doubt that the road was a public CUi) 21 or 30 years ago, as it was then very much us.0d for carting lime from nciehbouring lime kilns. Mr W. F. Janes: IIa,vo we r-ony-or to collect this 1.3 rent if wo impose it ? The Clerk: I question \"ry much whether it. If lie does pay it, he gi yes you the right to tho road. I11 reply to Mr Ben Fisher, The Clerk said that notices notifying the right of the public to use the road would wri-c) t.1-?.3 I)urpc,o the Coaiicil had 1.11 view: it wa-s c:?2cIdcd that two notice 'to t'ng the L-.l,-t--trdrj bc, fixod ld-le f-a.lka ac.(iti?-in i pubTie of the fact, a. sttep to whioh Mr Parry 'agrfced when invited" for- his- opinion by the chairman.. HEDGE CLIPPINGS "A NUISANCE." The Surveyor reported that the reason the I the rtli-,al d' ?tiict not jll I" ti-li?iti-icd, a-iid I.,IIZ?t TJIC I i 1,; 1) 1*1 Dl .,S wliic-,h had dropped from those attended to, had net been I cleaied, was that the farmers had been busy their harvest operations. Mr Ben Fisher said it was very desirable t.o have the work attended to in a regular manner. As a eycliat who roamed about the ootiutry roads a good deal, he had had oppor- tunities of realising what, the neglect of the that duity me-aant. The clippi,ngs quite a n i-i' the amount of i i ior. he had had to pay in consequence of tyre punctures caused by thein was quite a serious item (laughter). He urged the Council to take some c "tep in the matter at once Mr Rogers Jon.3: When roadis a.rc taken over by County Council* liD trouble of this kind is exporie-/x.'d, a.nd why can't we have due order mai.nif.ainod with the same effect? (hear, hear). We should be as strict as the Or/naty Council in enforcing the law on the 111:attcJT. Mr W. F. Joaiee stated that as the work bad to bs cairried out during r.ajrve,:t time, it be- oanno a -tverious matter for farmers, who were already hand,ieappcd in consequence of a lack of lr.bourinig hands. He suggested that the Council gave [xsrmissiem to farmers to employ Council roa-dtmen to carry away the clippings wiien they feund themselves unable to do it themselves,, tlie njen to be paid by the farmers at the Council's rate of pay. The Clerk was eventually ifictruoted te ac- t-ii-c sgirvey??,,rs ol t,iicir W-iti 1 icn, in cacTv.in,ir out the law in thoP: rmtw -A c<n tlie motion of Mr W. E".
