LLANDUDNO COLWYN BAY LIGHT 1 RAILWAY. CONTRACTORS SAY THERE HAS BEEN NO DELAY. Mr William Horton forwards us the fol- lowing copy of a letter which explains itself I- Messrs Paines, Blyth and Huxtable., 14, St. Holen's-place, E.C. Dear Sirs,— Llandudno and Colwyu Bay. We are in receipt of your information to the effect that the Urban District Council of Colwyn Bay are of opinion that the work is being neglected on the portion of the tramway from Rhos to Llandudno. It may certainly appear to the outsider that nothing much has been done, but ,YO may say that this is absolutely not the case. Nothing more could po-ssibly have been done since the company went to allot- ment, and for the following reasons:- The agreements were only definitely signed at the end of July or two nonths ago. The first week in August, the whole of the materials were ordered, which com- prise some 500 poles, 700 tons of rails, 500 tons of cement, 50 tons of copper, 18 cars. 100 tons of joist work for the car- shed, the whole of the galvanised roofing for the oar-shed, 4000 sleepers, and, ap- proximately, R6600"3 worth of sheathed cable and troughing. This amount of material, representing very many thousands of pounds, natJ "dPy cannot be wafted magically to the spot, but takes a little time, and any renunable porson will see it is useless putting men on the job for the mere sake of it, unless the materials are delivered. We are now in a position to state that the two months we nave given the manu- facturers for the delivery of these goods have elapsed. The manufacturers are carry- ing out their terms with us as we arc carry- ing out ours with the company, and the rails, bonds tie-bars, nuts, cement have now arrived. The poles are due for de- livery in ten days, and the copper will arrive in two weeks, and 100 men are now start- ing. The whole of the plans and drawings have been approved of by the Llandudno sur- veyor, and we are prepared to stake the reputation of our company on the fact that the permanent way between Rhos and Llan- dudno will be completed, as we have in- formed Mr Horton, by the 31st December, this year. We are not tyros in tramway work. Many hundreds of thousands of pounds' wortlf of work has been built by us during the last few years, and we submit to Mr Horton an extract upon one of our latest contracts (the value of which is approximately half a million) in Shanghai. This contract re- presents a total mileage of some 30 miles. We started last December to send our men out to Shanghai, and hero it took four months for the material to arrive. The months of January, February, and March were spent in delivering and shipping material in exactly the same way as the months of August and September have been in delivering materials to Llandudno. We do not think any better enconium is necessary than that from the "China Gazette" which we append hereto for your information. Since March of this year we have built over 15 miles of track of the value of some ;C200,000. Here, again, for the first four months, nothing was visible. If, therefore, Mr Horton will realise the great principle that in tramway con- struction, material must be delivered before one can work, and when he sees the enormous difference that this month and next month will make, he will understand definitely that the reason for the apparent delay Is simply because we know business, no. becau we do not.

LLANFAIRTALHAIARN SCHOOLS. (To tho Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir,Hearing from you that Mr William Grif- fith still feels that grave reflections were cast upon him in his capacity as a public man by my letter of the 20th July. in which I referred to his attitude regarding the expenditure of publio money on the Council School at Llanfair- talhaiarn, may I be pej-mittod to state for a second time, and in the most emphatio terms possible, that I did not desire to cast any such reflection upon him? I merely cautioned the attitude he adopted in his capacity as Llanfair's representative, and as a ratepayer I fairly think I was entitled to do so. Maybe the language I used in the last paragraph was unusually blunt and to the point, but I wish to assure him most sincerely that I do r.ot personally bear the slightest ill-will or animosity towards him. As a public man he is most energoticj in fact, I frankly admit we could not have a represontative who works harder for what he considers to be the beet interests of the ratepayers. But, surely, Mr Griffith docs not. go so far as to say that his work on behalf of the ratepayers precludes any individual rate- payer from criticising his actions in public matters.—Yours, etc., RATEPAYER.

PILES AND ERUPTIONS. THREE MONTHS' INTENSE SUFFERINC. ENDED BY ZAM-BUK. Mrs A. Grose, of 247, Crystal Palace Road, East Dulwich, London, S.E., told a local news. papex man how Zam-Buk cured both an irri- tating raaj} and painful piles. She said "Rather more than three months ago I commenced to suffer from piles. At first I wa3 only inconvenienced, but they got stead'ly worse until they were very large--so la,rge, in fact, that I never imagined such things were possible. The pain was terrible, and 1 had the greatest dfiioulty in moving about the house. This went on for some time, and my health was being seriously undermined. I was at a loss to know what to do. In des- pa.ir I tried poulticing, but the relief was only temporary. "Then, on the top of all this, a horrible rash broke out all over my body. The eruption? were so intensely irritable that I oould not keep from rubbing them, with the result that they continued to get worse \ou may be sure my anxiety ana suffering caused me many sleeplesis nights. Day after day I hoped for some improvement, but in vain. I became thin and worn, and the efforts I madp to per- form my ordinary domestic duties were almost futile. The piles were getting worse all the time, and the eruptions continued to spread. "At last I determined to see a doctor. The I very chaxacter of the complaint had induced me to postpone seeking advice, and even then I was unhappy at having to go. I was actually an my way to the surgery when I was told about Zam-Buk. I* turned back, and immediately bought a box. To my delight the very first application gave me great relief. It was simply marvellous. I followed the directions and advice givarj by the Zam-Buk Company close.ly, and within a few days the piles had disappeared a3 if by magic. Tho unsightly and irritating rash first subsided and then oompletciy disappeared, leaving my skin in its normal, healthy condition. Since then I have been absolutely free from both com- plaints, and am rapidly regaining my lost strength, colour, and energy. Only those who have suffered as I suffered can possibly appre- ciate the extent of mv gratitude to Zam-Buk." Zam-Buks is invaluable for all kinds of eruptions, rashes, sores, and humors, as well as for outs, bruises, burns, ecalds, sprains, chapped hands, and faces, etc. Of all che>- mist-a, or post free from the Zam-Buk Co., 4, Red Cross-street, E.C.

Llandudno Finances. I THE LIGHTING AND WATER DEPARTMENTS. The following report of the electrio lighting, gae, and water undertakings waa presented by the accountant to the Llatndudno Urban District Council on Wednesday evenin,g:-The accounts have now been prepared upon what is known as tho income and expenditure system in lieu of the cash system of previous years, conse- quently alf sums owing to the Council, includ- ing the March quarter rentals, and all liabi- lities incurred but not paid, including accrued interest on loans and sinking fund, and provi- sions for redemption of loans have been brought into the aooounts up to 31sli March. 1905, therefore the aooounts now presented will cover a period of 15 months. ELECTRIC LIGHT DEPARTMENT. The income during the period of 15 months is as follows: —Private lighting, £ 7914, publio lighting, £ 698; sundries, £ 87; total, E8699. The expenditure was 93624, leaving a gross profit of £5075, whioh, after making provision for redemption of loans and interest (£3480), leaves a net surplus of £1593. In appropriating the net surplus I would recommend that a Brum of B1100 (which repre- sents cash in hand on revenue account at 31st March, 1906) bo placed to the reserve fund, and the balance of E498 be oarried forward to the credit of net revenue account. With regard to the question of setting aside a sum for depreciation purposes on the basis settled by your committee on tho 5th Febru- ary, 1S06 the amount to be provided out of the above named available balance of JBHOO is £ 450, leaving a sum of £ 650, but instead of allocating this sum to rates it wiil be applied to depreciation purposes and treated as an instalment of the sum of JC800, which in ye are gone by has been transferred bo raw out of electrio light profits. If the above named eum of E1100 be placed to depreciation fund the amount stan-cling to the credit of tho fund at 31st March, 1906, will be E1332. The capital outlay up to 31st March, 1906, was £40,657, and the loan indebtedness £ 31,346. GAS WORKS FUND. The income from sales of gas was as fol- lows:—Private consumers, £ 10,835; cooker rents, £ 512; slot meters. £ 1274; publio light- ing, £ 1383; sale of reaidual products, £ 2/88; fittings, £ 139; sundry reoeipts, £ 182; stock of ooalj etc., £ 194; total, £ 17,307; expenditure. £ 9348; leaving a gross profit of L7959. After deducting the charges of 25118 for in- terest and redemption of leans, etc., there b a net surplus of £ 2841, which has been appro- priated as follows, viz.i-To rates towairds de. ficiency on water fund, £ 1827; water and gaB depreciation fund, £ 500; gas coo kens deprecia_ tion, £ 380; carried forward t« credit ol net revenue aocouut, £ 134; total, £ 2841. The consumption of gas by private consumers has decreased by 485,700 oubio feet, which re- presents a decrease in sales of a sum of £ 76. ubt ae the expenditure on gas coal was reduced by £ 200 it will be aeon that the decreased sales has not diminished the profits. The income from prepayment meters as oom_ pared with the previous year is as followB: — 31st March, 1906 £ 1274; 31st March, 1905, £ 957; increase, B317. WATER DEPARTMENT. The revenue from water rents, etc., was £ 8333; sundry receipts, £ 86; total, £ 8419; ex- Eonditure, £ 2098; the gross profit was £ 6321 j but as this amount was insufficient to cover the oharges for i/edemption of loams, £ 4121; sinking fund, £ 669 j interest, £ 2733; annuities (pro- portion), £ 625; total, £ 8148; there was a de- ficiency on the water fund of £1827. The sum standing to the credit of the water and gas depreciation fund at 31st Maroh, 1906, after transferring a sum of £ 880 from gas revenue, was £ 3162. WATER AND GAS CAPITAL ACCOUNT. The capital outlay on water and gas works up to 31.st March, 1906, is as follows:Gaa works, £ 47,336; capitalised value of annuities (moiety), £ 18,480; total, £ 65,816; water works. annuities (moiety), £ 13,480; total, 3blU4, /u5.

WILL SOAP BE DEARER? Important Question for Householders. A cardinal feature of th9 programme attributed to the projected Soap 'lrust is that >t has no intention of increasing the price of the article. One of its objects, it is asserted, is if not actually to keep prices down, at all events to prevent them going up. A trade correspondent, dealing with this point, states that this presentation of the case is acourate enough as far as it goes, but that it is unfortunately qualified by the fact that purchasers will get ft smaller quantity of soap for the same money as was formerly paid. Indeed, he alleges, this curious method of keeping down prices has already been introduced in various cases. Much soap Is bought by the bar, and the publio has been in the habit of buving particular brands at so much per bar. Now the average weight and length of the bar has been reduced^ and the purchaser, wir'e congratulating himself that his position re- mains unaffected, is practically paying an advanced price. If bar" was a term implying definite weight or bulk, the manu- facturer might find himself in a difficulty, but as it is neither, he possesses a practically free hand. This trade correspondent adds that retailers are perfectly familiar with the facte he mentions, but that the public so far is unaware of them. The retail trader, who is paying more for his goods, hitherto has been grumbling that an equivalent increase could not be demanded by him from his customers. That increase in price is now to be assured in the way indicated.

Abergele and Pensarn Urban District Council. A GOLF CLUB WANTED. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS ADVOCATED. (From our Reporter.) This Council met on Monday. Councillor Pierce Da vies presided, twid there wetre also present: Councillors CJ. H. Judson, J. Pieroe, W. H. Jone*, J. C. Knight, Ed. Willi-ams, J. Buchaainam., and W. P. Morris, Mr E. A. Orabbe (clerk), and Mr M. R. Jones (survey- or). PUBLIC LIGHTING. Mr Buohannan drew attention to the fact that the lamps on the Promenade at Pensarn had been removed, and there was no provision for replacing them. The Clark pointed out that the Council had decided that they would replace by degrees the old lamps throughout Abergele and Pen- sarn by new irvoandesoent lights. It was dcoided that the work should be car- ried oub at once. Mr Morris asked why It was that local tradespeople were not given the tender for the incandescent lamps. The Clerk replied that if Mr Morris had at- tonded the oommlttoo meeting he would have heard the fig ires read out, and would then have readily understood. SEATS ON THE PROMENADE. With regard to the removal of the seats on the Promenade, the Surveyor, in reply to Mr Judeon, paid they were left on the Promenade nearly a fortnight longer than usual, and some tima after the lamps were put out. In the dark youths damaged the seats that wore left out. VOTE OF CONDOLENCE. On the motion of Mr Ed. Williams, seconded b Mr Buchannan, the Council passed a vote of condolence with the family of the late Mr W. Ellis, a former member of the Council, and a well-known resident. FAINT LIGHTS AT PENSARN. Mr Buchannan oalled attention to the poor lighting of Pensarn. He stated that while the la.mp6 at Abergele gave a brilliant light those a.t Pensarn were very bad. In Dundonald Avenue it was scarcely possible to see through the lanterns. The Surveyor replied that perhaps the large quantity of dust in Dundonald Avenue accoun- ted for the state of the lamps. The Council should remember that the cleaner could not go round ajl the lam-s in a couple of davs, especially whon it was considered that they paid him practically nothing. Mr Judaooi did not think they should leave such a matter to the oleaner. He should have definite instructions as to the cleaning. On the Chairma-n stating that he had never before heard the complaint made, Mr Buchanman advised the Chairman to take a walk down to Pensarn and judge for him- aelf. The matter them dropped. The Surveyor reported tlio receipt of a letter from the Secretary to the Gas Company com- plaining of tho escape of gaa at Chapel-street consequent on damage to the mains. He (the surveyor) was of onimon that the mains had not been laid dee-i enough im the first place, and heavy traffic from steam road rollers and traction engines passed over the road. No action was taken in the matter. PROTECTIVE MEASURES. On the motion of Mr Pierce, seconded by Mr Morrifi, it was decided to erect am unclimable fence around the drain in Gele-road, and a sub-committee was appointed to see the matter through. CHAPEL STREET IMPROVEMENTS. The Council directed the surveyor to prepare plans of the proposed improvements at the oorner of Chapel-street, and to submit same to a special mooting to be held a fortnight honce, when a resolution will be proposed to ask the Local Government Borurd to hold a formal in- quiry to grant a loan to carry out t.he work. THE STATE OF PEEL STREET. Mr Ed. Williams complained of the state of Peel-street, and said that after every shower of rain iihe road was in a terrible state. It WJUi true that Peel-street was only a working main's street, but it should be attended to. The Surveyor promised that the street should be attended to In due course. BOYS OR ANGELS! Mr Judaon culled attention to the damage done by boys to the shelter at Pensarn. Mr Buchannan suggested that the damage was done by Abergele boya. Mr Pieroe: Of oourse, the boys at Pensarn are all angels (laughter), Mr Knight: I do not think there are any boys at Pensarn—they are all girls (laughter). The Surveyor said he would do what he oould to prevent further damage being done. A GOLF CLUB WANTED. It was decided to call a town's meeting for the purpose of deciding the steps to be taken to form a &olf club for Abergele. Mr J.

MR BELL AND RA!LWAY I- ZRTVXNTS. Protest Against Beard of Trade Whitowashinir. Mr Richard Bell, M.P., was the chief speaker at a meeting of railway men in Glasgow, on Friday, 111 iavour 01 the "all grades" movement. In the course of his speech in support of a resolution urging all railwaymen to jocn the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, Mr iieii re- ferred to the latest report issued by the Board of Trade on railways. He lllJaimain- that the report whitewashed the railways, and he protested against a State Depart- ment whitewashing either employers or work- men. He said that railway men desired á considerable reduction on the present standard of hours, and they were determined to have it before long. The public did not seem to realise the great hardship, the great suffering, and the great loss of life and the great injury that took place among railway men year by year. iney only realised it when something happened, as at Salisbury and Grantham recently. The workmen in every other industry worked fewer hours than railway men, and no argument could be brougnt forward to show why engine-men, firemen, and ail grades of railway servants, should work 12 hours a day, or 72 hours a week. It was abomin- able that such a condition of things should have been allowed to exist up till now. But after all the railway companies were not so much to blame as the railway men them- selves. He urged the necessity of every railway servant joining tho Amalgamated Society, and denounced any sectional move- ments, which, he stated, had been shown to be absolutely powerless in securing re- forms from the railway compares. Finally, he quoted a statement made by Dr. Forbes Winslow, who said recently in regard to the unfortunate accident at Grantham that of the 40,000 registered drivers and stokers employed a very large percentage became ment al'y deranged, and out of 75 trades and occupa- tions they stood seventh highest on the statistical list of mental diseases.
