CONWAY BOARD OF GUARDIANS. PROPOSED CLASSIFICATION OF PAUPERS. THE BOARD'S FINANCES. The monthly meeting of the Conway Board of Guardians wae held on Friday, Mr David Jones (chairman) presiding. The other members pre- sent were Meesrs J. W. Raynes, Ed. Williams, Ed. Roberts, Robert Williams, Owen W. Ro- berta, S. R. Bartley, Hugh Owen, Wm. Wil- liams, John T. Taylor, Rogers Jones, Hugh Hughes, William Davies, A. J. Oldiman, E. J. Evans, Owen Williams, W. Wilkinson, E. Jones, Richard jonee, Hugh Davies, Ben Fisher, P. H. McCleumnt, the Rev. John Raymond, Mr R. A. Lloyd, Mrs E. K. Oldman, Mies Annie Parry, Miss E. Lewis, Mies Edith Chamipneys, Miss M. E. Williams, together with Mr T. E. Parry (olerk), J. W. Poet (deputy-clerk), and other officials. CLASSIFICATION OF PAUPERS. Mr William Davies galled attention to the fact that the paupers of the Union were not classi- fied. Among their paupers they had a number who, during their lives, had worked hard, and had done their best for their country, whilst others had done nothing. He moved that a com- mittee be appointed to report on the matter. Mr O. W. Roberts seconded, and it was car- ried. THE CHARGE AGAINST THE WORK- HOUSE CHILDREN. The Master reported that on Friday, August 23rd, whilst the children were out on the march with the Industrial Trainer, five boys had taken some bathing apparel from a van. The cloth- ing was afterwards found to be the property of a lady staying at Conway. The lads were taken before the magistrates, and bound over under the First Offenders' Act. The Chairman said that when he heard of the affair he went to see Mr Jones to see if any- thing oould be done before the boys ared before the magistrates, but the Master said it was hopeless as there was no defence, the goods having been found in the House. MT J. W. Raynes: How many children had the Trainer to look after? The Master: Twenty-eight. Mr Raynes: Is it usual to send so many chil- dren out under the charge of one person? The Master: Yes, douiblo the number some- times. Mr Raynes: I think it is a great shame to send so many children out in charge of one person. The Chairman i How old wae the youngest The Master: Two years old. The Chairman said that the ma.tter could be referred to the House Committee to enquire into if necessary. Mr Wm. Davies: When are we going to have the report of that oommittee on the duties of the Union officers? Mr Edward Williams: I am not surprised1 at the children getting a little wild when they get out in the open from these high walls which en- circle them like a prison. Mrs Oldiman said the Trainer, when out with the children to keep within reach of the little ones. The boys thought the bathing cos- ftumeis had been left behind by some of the Volunteers, and they therefore brought the things home to play niggers with them. That seemed the history of the whole affair, and she did not think there was any need to go any further with the matter, but suggested that when the Trainer had all the children out some- one should accompany her. The Master said that the boys were allowed to go on the marsh by themselves to play. He blamed the people who owned the bathing cos- tumes for leaving the van oipen. He did not think a.ny boy would pass it without looking in. The Rev. J. Raymond: I support Mrs Old- man's suggestion. It was only a boyish trick after all. The matter then dropped. SPECTACLES FOR INMATES. Upon the recommendation of the House Com- mittee, it was decided that Mr Robert Owen, optician, of Llanrwst, be called in to ex amino those inmates who required spectaoles, and re- port to tho Board.

The separate charges were estimated to be as follows .—County education .and poJice rate, £10,208; collectors' salaries, £484; floating bal- ance, etc., £2276; making a total of £16,950, which, after deducting balance in hand, etc., of £2726, left the total amount of contributions re- quired, £14,224.

The county rate also to be added to the poor rate amounted to 8d in the pound in the Carnarvonshire parishes and lid in Denbighshire.

LLANDUDNO RATE COLLECTORSHIP. THE RETIREMENT OF MR J. BELLIS. CONWAY GUARDIANS AND THE APPOINTMENT. The question of the superannuation of Mr John Bellis, Llandudno, on his retirement after 27 years' service as rate collector for the parishes of Llandudno, Eglwysrhos, Llanrhos, Llangystenin, and Penrhyn, was discussed at Friday's meeting of the Conway Board of Guardians. The Fi- nance Committee recommended that eight years be added to Mr Bellis' 27 years of service, without regard to the question of emoluments, which would work out as follows:—Llandudno-cum- Eglwysrhos, £ 122; Llanrhos, £ 20; Llangystenin, £ 14; Penrhyn, £ 4; total, L160, subject to the acceptance of Mr Bellis, and also subject to the approval of the Local Government Board. Mr O. W. Roberts said he desired to move an amendment to the committee's recommendation. He was second to none in his admiration of Mr Bellis, but at the same time he felt they were bound to deal with these matters on principle. Whatever Mr Bellis was entitled to should be granted in full, but he considered that they as representing the ratepayers had no right to add eight years to a period of 27 years. He de- sired to move that the salaries of Mr Bellis from the different parishes with the whole of the emoluments be ascertained, and then after ar- riving at the amount due they add three years to the 27, to make it 30 years. Mr P. H. McClement seconded, and said he did not approve of adding eight years to the period of service. They should deal with all men alike. He did not want to take any undue advantage, but thought that eight years was too much to add. Mr Wm. Davies wished to know why eight years werq nut on, and whether the Board had a right to add this period? The Clerk: The Board can add ten years. Mr Wm. Davies: Am I to understand that the Finance Committee thought Mr Bellis was enti- tled to it? The Clerk: They thought he was entitled to eight years. Mr Wm. Davies: I cannot see why we should pay more to any man than he is entitled to. What, between the heavy salaries paid to County Councils and Boards of Guardians' officials, things are becoming very serious. We are piling it on for the ratepayers. The Chairman said that the case was rather & complicated one. Mr Bellis had been a very good servant of the Board for many years. At one time he collected on commission, which amounted to B500 a year, and he willingly met the Board by arranging to collect for a fixed salary of J6165, waving his claim to the £ 300. It was clearly proved that he was entitled to a super- annuation of j6173, but he was willing to accept J6160 as recommended by the committee, which was J615 less than he was entitled to. Mr J. W. Raynes: Is that official, Mr Chair- man? The Chairman: I believe so. Rev. J. Raymond said Mr Bellis had been a very valuable servant, and he (Mr Raymond) took it that by adopting the committee's recommenda- tion they would be acting fair to their constitu- encies and generous towards Mr Bellis. If it was legal to add three years, as was suggested in Mr Roberts' amendment, he contended that it was quite as legal to add eight years. Mr 0. W. Roberts said it was not a question of legality, but the case should be decided on its merits. Upon being put six voted for the amendment and 12 for the committee's recommendation of J6160, which was therefore declared carried. Mr Rogers Jones moyed a further amendment to the effect that Mr Bellis be requested to fur- nish his full statement of claim. The Chairman ruled this out of order. THE NEW APPOINTMENT. The Finance Committee reported having re- ceived the following letter from the clerk of the Llandudno Urban District Council:- Poor Rate Collectorship. Llandudno-cum-Eglwysrhos. The Llandudno Council have decided to again apply to the Local Government Board for an order conferring on them the powers of a Parish Council in relation to the appointment of over- seers so far as relates to the parish of Llandudno- cum-Eglwysrhos, and for the powers, duties or liabilities of overseers in repation to the prepara- tion of valuation lists and the making and col- lecting of the poor rates of the said parish. The Council hope therefore that the Guardians will not take any steps to fill the vacancy in the poor rate collectorship caused by the resignation of Mr John Bellis, until the application of the Council has been considered by the Local Government Board. The committee reported that the letter was considered, and no order made with respect thereto, except that the question raised as to powers, duties, etc., in respect to the preparation of the valuation lists, which question was re- ferred to the Assessment Committee. It was recommended that, although there were in existence orders of the Local Government Board authorising the Board to appoint collectors for the old parishes of Llandudno and Eglwys- rhos, there was no order for Llandudno-cum- Eglwysrhos as a single pariah, application be made to the Local Government Board for an or- der vesting this Board with powers to appoint a rate collector for the parish of Llandudno-cum- Eglwysrhos; that an advertisement be issued for new collectors to fill the vacancies on the follow- ing terms:—Salaries Llandudno-cum-Eglwys- rhos, commencing salary 150, with annual in- crements of j35 to a maximum of £ 200; Llan- rhos, £ 35; Llangystenin, £ 25; Penrhyn, £10. Applicants may apply for one, or more than one, as he chooses, and that the clerk issue the adver- tisement in the usual terms, and canvassing would be a disqualiifcation. The Clerk also read a communication from the Local Government Board stating that the Board were in receipt of the application of the Llan- dudno Urban District Council, and were dealing with same, but the clerk said that no reply to the application had yet been received. Mr O. W. Roberts proposed that the matter be deferred until a reply was received from the Local Government Board. He further proposed that they as a Board of Guardians should sup- port the Llandudno Council in their application, as he contended the collection of the rates should be cheapened. In a place like Llandudno, where they had their own offices, he failed to see why they should have two collectors when th3 rate3 could be claimed on the same demand note. The Chairman ruled the proposition out of or- der, as there was nothing before the Board until they heard from the Local Government Board on the matter. In reply to Mr McClement, the Clerk said that the Local Government Board could not grant an order to the Llandudno Council to appoint a collector, but they could empower the Council to appoint an assistant overseer who could collect the rates.

CONWAY GUARDIANS AND THE WORKHOUSE MEAT SUPPLY. ENGLISH v. FOREIGN MEAT. At a meeting of the Conway Board of Guard- ians, on Friday, Mr David Jones, Llandudno, presiding, Mr Rogers Jones proposed that in inviting tenders for the supply of meat to the Workhouse for the coming half-year it should be distinctly stated that the meat must be home-fed. Mr Lloyd asked whether it was to be home- fed or home killed, as a great mand cattle were brought from foreign countries and slaughtered in Liverpool, which was afterwards called En- glish meat. Mr Rogers Jones: I meant home-fed, not home killed. Mr Lloyd: I think the home-killed is quite as good as the home-fed. Mr P. H. McClement: Why not have the price of foreign meat as well, and then w-e could see which was the best? Why should we pay 2d or 3d a pound more for English meat if it is no better than the foreign? Let us have the price of both, then we can judge for ourselves. Rev. J. Raymond: I am inclined to think that meat killed at Birkenhead is quite as good if not better than that fed in this country. Mr Edward Williams: Let it be home-fed and home-killed. Mr Rogers Jones. I shall be quite satisfied if it is home-killed, and will not press for the home- fed. p H. McClement: And let us have the price of frozen mutton. There is a great deal of it used now. The Chairman: There will be no mutton this half-year it is a pork half-year. The Clerk: Only a very small quantity.

CONWAY RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. LLYSFAEN FOOTPATHS. DRASTIC ACTION THREATENED. The monthly meeting of the Conway Rurfti District Council was held on Friday, Mr Hugh Owen, J.P., presiding. The other members piesent were Messrs J. W. Raynes, Rogers Jones, Robert Roberts, Ben Fisher, N. Small- page, Edward Williams, Richard Jones, Owen Williams, E. J. Evans, together with the Clerk (Mr T. E. Parry), the Sanitary Inspector (Mr Levi John), the Surveyor (Mr John Davies), and other officials. FINANCE. It was reported that there was a balance in the hands of the treasurer of J62175 19s Id to the credit of the Conway rural district, and L147 4s 2d in favour of the Glanconway district. APPOINTMENT. Several applications were received for the post of hospital caretaker, and it was decided, upon the recommendation of the Finance Committee, to appoint Mr Thomas Jones, Tabor House, Llysfaen. PENMAENRHOS FOOTPATH: DRASTIC ACTION THREATENED. A letter was read from Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson, Llandudno, enclosing the follow- ing letter from the office of Woods and Forests: "I am directed by Mr Stafford Howard to re- fer to the letter to you, dated 21st December last, and the subsequent letters, of which you have taken no notice, and to inform you that on the 30th September next the footpaths referred to in that letter will be completely closed by the Crown and its agreed lessees, Messrs Kneeshaw, Lupton, and Co., unless an agreement shall have been previously arrived at between them and your Council, and approved by Mr Howard. The date, September 3rd, is fixed as the date by which most of the visitors to Old Colwyn will have left, but if the Council desire to negotiate on behalf of the public for the continued use of the paths, you should as soon as possible put yourselves in communication with Messrs Batesons, Warr and Wimshurst, of 14, Castle-street, Liverpool, the solicitors for Messrs Kneeshaw, Lupton and Co. --I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, (Signed) MORTON EVANS." After due consideration, and bearing in mind the importance of the question to residents in the Llysfaen district, it was resolved that the attention of Mr Wm. Jones, M.P., and Mr J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., be drawn to the matter, and to earnestly urge them to do their utmost to induce the Office of Woods and Forests to stay action. It was also decided that the Chairman, Mr J. W. Raynes, and the Clerk be deputed to interview the Commissioners. A LLANGYSTENIN WELL. The Sanitary Inspector reported that he had inspected a well in Brodnant field, Llangystenin, which he found nearly closed up, and there was nothing to indicate the footpaths leading up to it- The matter was referred to the Parish Council.

ASSAULTING THE POLICE AT LLANRWST. A NAVVY'S VIOLENT CONDUCT. At the Llanrwst Police Court, on Monday, before Colonel Sandbag (presiding), Colonel Johnstone, Co.onel Higson, Messrs Isgoed Jonee, L. W. Jelf Pettit, W. Hughes, and J. R. Wil- liams, a navvy giving the name of Thomas Wil- son. and 'haiiliing- from Manchester, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and with assaulting the police whilst in the execution o4 their duty on the 31st August. With regard to the charge of being drunk and disorderly P.C. Holgate said that about 7.15 p.m. on the day in question, he found the defendant fighting with another man in Talybont-rcad, both being stripped to tho waist. The Chairman said the Bench had decided to convict. On the charge of assaulting the police, P.C. Holgate said that while conveying the defendant to the police station he became very violent, and mode use of e. threatening remark, at the same time drarwung from his pocket an Otpen knife (produced). He made a deliberate thrust at wit- ness, and but for the promptness of Mr W. T. Jones, he would have had a serious woundi The defendant was thrown to the ground, and after a struggle they sucoeeded in taking the knife away from him. Defendant was most violent, and the assistance of two civilians had to be requisitioned to take him to the police station. He kicked witness twice, and also at- tempted to kick Mr Jones. Defendant said he did not remember anything about it as he was drunk. William Thomas Jones, signalman in the elm- ploy of the London andi North-Western Railway Company, corroborated the officer, and1 added that the knife was open when he first saw it. He assisted the officer to take him to the cell. P.C. John Jones said he noticed the man taking a knife out of hie pocket, and making a. stab at Holgate. He got hold of wilkoave hand. WTiile on the floor defendant made use of a threatening remark. Defendant expressed his sorrow for what had occurred, and for drawing the knife. Supt-. Woollam said defendant was one of tie navvies working on the other side of the river. He was convicted only last month in that court for being drunk and disorderly. After retiring the Bench returned, and the Chairman said that they considered the case a very serious one. Defendant was up a fort- night ago for being drunk and disorderly, and got seven days. In a fortnight he was up again for being drunk and disorderly, and also for drawing a knife and assaulting the police. This sort of thing they could not possibly allow in this peaceful neighbourhood, and they were de- termined to pass the severest sentence poeible. He must go to hard labour for sdx m-ontbe for assaulting the police, and seven days for being drunk and disorderly, the sentences to run con- currently. Calling the witness William Thomae Jone6 forward, Colonel Sandbach said the magistrates wished to thank hipi for the assistance he gave to the police in this case.

"LUSITANIA'S" FIRST TRIP. The presence in the Meroey last week of the mammoth Cunarder, the "Lusitania," was a topic of manifold interest. Liverpool people,, accustomed a& they are to enormous steamships, each in its turn claiming sU(periority in one or other point over its immediate predteoeseor, is not easily moved to enthusiasm. The "Lusi tania," however, marks so huge an advance on all that has hitherto been seen in shipbuilding- that the imagination even of Liverpool was touched, and the citizens of the great seaport, it was found, were little less eager than their in- land cousins to view the vessel and note her sur- prising and impressive features. All the week, in one form or awthex-ouj- min;ating on Saturday afternoon, when the "Lusi- tania" sailed from the Landing Stage-the great ship was in one way or another in tnoet people's thoughts. On Tuesday the public, to the num- ber of some ten thousand, were adtaiitted iOn board at a charge per head, the result of which was a handsome increment to the revenue of the publio charities which were selected for benefit. Another and more significant assembly on board was on Wednesday, when by the in- vitation of the company tho Cunard agents from far and near, and ctrier besides, were entertained on board with regal hospitality, the gathering numbering in the total aJbout a thousand persons. The "Lusitania" is expected to arrive off the American coast early to-morrow (Friday) morning: Another Cunarder, the "Lucania" also left Liverpool on Saturday, and consider- able public interest centres upon the result of an alleged race between the two "fliers."
