DENBIGHSHIRE TEACHERS' CONFERENCE.
DENBIGHSHIRE TEACHERS' CONFERENCE. The members of the Denbighshire County Teachers' Association assembled in large numbers at Cohvyn Bay at the an- nual meetings of their Association. The primary object of the Association is, of course, to safeguard the interests of the members. Yet, judging by the character of the annual meetings, it serves another purpose perhaps equally useful, namely, the quickening of public interest n the administration of education. There is the possibility of apathy on the part of the general public following in the wake of the turmoil on the education question. But, as Mr Herbert Roberts pointed out, the Welsh people have much to learn from their fellow Celts beyond the Tweed in bearing patiently the financial burden ac- cruing from a sound educational system. Wales has been deservedly praised for its efforts on behalf of education, but the bogey of the rates has been held out to such pur- pose of late years as to cause in the minds of some a feeling of alarm, whilst others are indifferent to all matters appertaining to education. This, however, is not strictly characteristic of the Welsh. The quarrymen of North Wales and the colliers of the Rhondda Valley, for instance, have contributed largely towards secondary and .higher education, and have in a practical Thanner shown their appreciation of the facilities which the Welsh Educational system affords. Waning interest in the whole question is, as already stated, the source of the trouble, and the sooner edu- bationalists set about reviving that interest the better it will be for the children of .Wales. That the Denbighshire County Association of Teachers is giving a help- ing hand in this matter is a gratifying fact. In dealing with their own professional affairs, the teachers confined themselves largely to an appeal to the Denbighshire Education Authority to adopt a scale of salaries. Several strong speeches were de- livered en the subject, the main conten- tion of the speakers being that under the existing rule it is absolutely impossible to regulate the salaries fairly. It was re- marked that no system exists for the in- vestigation of cases where teachers apply for better remuneration, with the result that one applicant's claim was successful, whereas that of another man, placed in much the same circumstances, was rejected. One speaker emphatically asserted that "we have to depend upon having a certain amount of influence on the County Authority before we can get a rise." That may or may not be the case, but there can be no doubt that the present system is by no means an ideal one. With regard to the county teachers' scale of salaries, rate- payers generally will doubtless like to see Denbighshire following the example of Flintshire and other neighbouring counties by adopting a system such as tlfe teachers are now appealing for. The feature of the public meeting was the striking address delivered by the Bishop cf St. Asaph on the progress of Welsh edu- cation during the last two centuries. The full text is published in another column, and we cordially commend it to the notice of all readers interested in an absorbing topic dealt with by one well versed in the subject of education.

The figures relating to the cereal year, which ended on August 31st, cannot be re- garded as satisfactory, as far, at least, as our own agricultural position is concerned. The "Birmingham Gazette" puts the situa- tion thus "Our national wheat require- ments arc estimated at 32.300,000 quarters. Our yield stands at the poverty-stricken figure of S,ooo,ooo quarters, or less than a sixth of our national consumption, leaving the immense balance of 27,300.000 quar- ters which we must necessarily import. Tlfus under our present Free Trade condi- tions we tend to become permanently de- pendent on a ring of foreign exporting countries for the staff of life. It is impor- tant but disquieting to note that wheat con- sumption in the United States is still steadily increasing. The day cannot be long distant when the States will need all the corn they grow. The position of our thirteen millions now living on the verge of hunger will be an unfortunate one—un- less in the meantime we make strenuous efforts to encourage Canadian, Australa- sian, and Indian wheat raising by a pre- ferential tariff. Nor is it sufficient to in- crease the wheat production of the Empire -we must grow more wheat at home." The speculation which has been prevalent in Volunteer circles as to how far the existing auxiliary forceg will be affected by the new regulations under the Territorial Army scheme will be set at rest by an official statement about to be issued by the War Office. It has been decided, it is understood, that Volunteers at present ser- ving will not be liable to undertake the new conditions when they come into operation. They will have the option of retiring if they do not desire to undertake those conditions without further liability than their present terms of service Recruits joining the Volunteer forces before the new scheme is put into operation will ion on the old con- ditions, and will have the same option of resigning, if they so desire, when the new arrangement is inaugurated. It ;s pro- bable that it will take some time to form the new county associations under the pro- posed altered conditions, and it has been decided that the new scheme for service shall not be applied until the associations are in proper working order. The "London Gazette" of Tuesday con- tains a notice calling the first meeting of the court of governors of the National Museum of Wales at the City Hall, Car- diff. on Tuesday, October 13th. The busi- ness to be transacted will be the appoint- ment of six further persons to be members of the court, to make arrangements for the enacting of the statutes required to be enacted, and other business (if any).

THE REVISION COURTS. ---..
THE REVISION COURTS. ABERGELE. ASSISTANT OVERSEER'S ALLOWANCES. The Hon R. C. Grosvenor held his revision court for the Abergele district on Thursday. Mr Mott represented the Conservatives, and Mr Gwilym Parry the Liberals. LATE ARRIVALS- For the second year in succession the proceed- ings of the court were delayed in consequence of the late arrival of the barrister and the party agents. This was due to the unsuitabilitv of the Vale of Clwyd train service. The time table has been rearranged of late, but no publ.io notice had been given of the alteration of the hour, although the assistant overseer for the parish of Abergele had a letter on the matter. Tho.=e having business at the court were kept waiting for about forty minutes without any ex- planation. AiiERGELvE LODGER. CLAIMS. Tho claims of Mr Thomas Samuel and Mr Thomas Leigh to lodger votes were admitted without opposition. A NEW FORM OF TENANCY. Mr E. A. Crabbe appeared to support claims made for votes on Divifion 1. instead of Division II. by Charles Pierce, gardener, Tanybryn Cot- tage. and James Esling, Tanybryn Lodge. Mr Crabbe explained that the men occupied emi- detached houses and paid a yearly rent of £ 10. He produced the signed agreements legally executed. Questioned by the Barrister, he said that one of tho houses adjoined the stable yard, and al- though a. separate building was part of the stable premises. The Barrister said that if the men were not servioo voters he really did not know who were. He was bound to accept the agreement as evidence. Replying to Mr Parry, Mr Crabbe said the men were entitled to three months' notice, and they were ordinary tenants- The Barrister said that for the purpose of creating votes he waft bound to accept the agreement, and allowed the claims. FATHER OVERLOOKS HIS SON'S CLAIM. Mr Gwilym Parry pointed out that one of the claimants on tho list for Llanddulas was the assistant overseer's own son, who had been left off the list. Mr Thomas: I suppose he was too near, and I omitted his name. The claim was allowed. A BAD OBJECTION. Mr Mott said that an objection had been made to George Roberts, Tanybont, being on Division I., whereas he was on Division III. The objecticn was that the tenancy had expired. Mr Parry: Tho objection is bad on the face of it, and it must fail. "A CLOSE SHAVE." The Liberals claimed for Samuel Wil.iams, 4, Pennington-terrace, Llanddulas, and Mr Parry admitted that it was "a close shave" as the tenancy only commenced on July 14th.. Mr Mott was satisfied with the production of the rent book, and the ólaim was allowed. AN ASSISTANT OVERSEER COM- PLIMENTED. When the assistant overseer for Llanddulas; asked for an extra allowance for this year's list on account of the extra printing involved by the cia-inir, and objections, the Barrister said he would allow 10s as the list had been very well done. A DIFFICULT SERVICE. Reference was made to a na.me appearing on the Llanfairtalhaiarn list to which objection had been raised, and Mr Griffith, the assistant over- seer, observed that service would be difficult to prove as the man was dead. NO HANDING DOWN OF TENANCIES. Objection was taken to John Roberts and Thomas Roberts, Bedwyn Isa, and when the assistant overseer stated that the mother was the tenant until she died in November, the A DIFFICULT SERVICE. Reference was made to a name appearing on the Llanfairtalhaiarn list to which objection had been raised, and Mr Griffith, the assistant over- seer, observed that service would be difficult to prove as the man was dead- NO HANDING DOWN OF TENANCIES. Objection was taken to John Roberts and Thomas Roberts, Bedwyn Isa, and when the assistant overseer stated that the mother was tho tenant until she died in November, the Barrister said it was clear that the two w>ns had not been long enough, and their claims must come out. LIKE FATHER, LUtE SON., During the revision of the Llanfair list, the Barrister said he wished that Welsh parents would not name their sons alter the father. It was very confusing and it was difficult at times to know which was father and which was eon when both bore the same name. So long as the practice was followed so long would there be confusion. AN ASSISTANT OVERSEER S COMPLAINT. Mr Griffith asked for 91 extra. for printing the Lianfair list, as he had had to print claims and objections. There was no necessity for them to be made. The Barrister: Yoii must allow the agents some latitude. I allow the extra J61. BETTWS CASES. When the Bettws list was revised the Barrister complained that the assistant overseer had not sent to the Clerk of the Peace the alterations .he had made in manuscript to the lists he had published. That must not occur again, but it did not prevent the Barrister allowing an extra, ICe to the assistant overseer, who pleaded that he had a very extensive parish to attend to-over eight miles long. Mr Mott successfully sustained a claim for a vote on Division III. for Robt. Waitkin Williams Wynn, in respect of shooting on the Coed Occh Estate. NEWS FROM HOME. The Assistant Overseer of Bcttws, in dealing with a case, said that the man wae able to work, and seemed to be often drinking, but he occupied the house, and he supposed the claim was all right- Ms Millward said he kneyy that the man was a pauper, but the Bettws Assistant Overseer said he did not know that. The name was struck off. MR MILLWARD COMPLIMENTED. There were but two trifling alterations in the Abergele and St. George lists, and these were caused through the death of the parties. The Liberals failed to sustain a claim for a vote for Mil's Price, Chapel House, Moelfre, Mr Mott contending that she was neither an occupier nor a service voter. The Barrister complimented Mr E. H. Mill- ward Oil his excellent bst, and said that out cf /50 names there were no alterations excepting by death, and the party agents seemed to be afraid to make ciaims and objections Mr Mott: The work is too well düne. The Barrister said it was extremely good work, and he hoped that. Mr Millward would live for many years to discharge the duties of the ornce so ably.
BETTWS YCO ED.
BETTWS YCO ED. Mr Latham, revising barrister, reviVed the lists of voters, for the parishes of Bettwsyeoed and < apel Curig, at the former place, on hatuiday .morning. The business was of an on- tirely routine character. Neither of the party agents were present, the work being done hy tno Banister and Mr R. E. Thoma* over- seer.
CONWAY.
CONWAY. At Conway, Mr Nee objected to the appli- cation made on benalf of Mr John Daviee New Junction Stables, Llandudno Junction o'n~ the ground taat he was not the tenant, duning the qualifying poncd- He had been put on the in previous yeans, buit had been taken ou and now, ornce a.gain, he had lieen put on.

COLWYN BAY.
COLWYN BAY. MUCH BUSINESS QUICKLY TRANSACTED TWO LLANEMAN CLAIMS STRUCK OFF. The Hon. R. C. Grosvenor revised the voters' list at Colwyn Bay on Thursday. There was much business to be transacted, but thanks to a mutual arrangement between the party agents —Mr C. C. Mott for the Conservatives, and Mr Gwilym Pa-Try for the Liberals—there were no cases of a contentious character, and the court roro within an hour. The agents were assisted by Mr Wainwright, for the Conservatives, and Mr Jonathan Roberts for the Liberals. Messrs Thoma.s Jones, Colwyn Bay, and Mr Borthwick junior, LlaneLian, attended as assistant overseers Several new lodger claims were put in and granted. BROTHERS' JOINT INTERESTS. Mr GwiiJm Parry objected to an ownership claim submitted by Alfred Kay, of Woodviile, Llewelyn-road, Colwyn Bay, on the ground that he did not hold a sufficient interest in the property. The Revising Barrister (to applicant): Have you parted with your interest? Applicant: No, sir. What does it consist of?—Two houses in El lessrnere-roa d. What rent are they?—One at £84. and an- other at E64. Mr Gwilytm Parry: How did you come into possession of them? Applicant: I purchased them. Nobody c'so as part owner?—My brother, Percy Kay. The Barrister: Where are. the deeds? Applicant: In the offices of Mr Morgan, the Bolicitor. Mr Gwilym Parry: My instructions are that you parted with the property, Mr Kay. Do you still own them! I Applicant: I and my brother 8tilí own them. Is there any mortgage on them?—Yes. The Revising Barrister: But after paying the is there Sufficient to give you more t.an 4lis each per annum? Applicant: Yes. Mr GwiJym Parry said he was satisfied, where- upon the application was granted. LLANELIAN SCHOOLMASTER'S CLAIM FAJLS. A claim for a vote in respect of the school- house in which he resides was put in by Mr W. J. Clifford, (schoolmaster, of Llanelian. In reply to the Revising Barrister, Mr Borthwick said the house was not on the rate-book. '6 The Revising Barrister Then it is not rated? Mr Borthwick: I presume not: at any rate I can't find it entered o-n the rat e-book, and I have looked it up. The Revising Barrister: Do not fcchoolhouses pav i-alcs? Mr Gwilym Parry In eome cases they don't. Mr Mott: But there is no reason they should not pay in future. The Revising Barrister: Well, as this houso is not down en the rate-book, and no rates are paid by anybody in respect of it, I can't allow it. Mr Mott: But that may not be the house- holder's fault. The Revising Barrister: But that its the fact which must influence me. The name was therefore struck off the list. RECTOR'S WIFE S VOTE. The name of Mary Owen, of the Llaneiian Rectory, was entered on a claim in respect u" certain property held by her. Mr Gwilym Parry objected en the ground that the property was of insufficient value. In answer to the Revising Barrister, Mr Mott said he did not support the claim. The Revising Barrister: Why put her on the list ? Mr Borthwick: The reason is that I was noti- fied that she was cntitlcdt to a. vole. Tho Revising Barrister: What is the extent of the property? Mr Borthwick: About two acres of land. The Revising Barrister: I", it worth ;ClD? Mr Borthwick: Hardly. The Revising Bai rister: The value is in- sufficient. One is a married lady and therefore not entitled tc go on Division Ill. STRUCK OFF. The Assistant Overseer (Mr Thomas Jones) objected to an ownership claim entered by Mr Thoma.s Owen, of Manchester House, Colwyn Bay, on the ground that the applicant "j" net the owner and never has been. This has been proved in High Court. It belongs to the children." The Revising Bar; kter: The claim is struck off. AN IMPROVEMENT. At this stage Mr Gwilym Parry called the Re vis.ng Barrister's attention to the desirability I of ^adopting a better method of initial.ing the Cvlwyn Bay lists. He pointed out tha-t the letter "J" was at present used as an indicator in respect of the tili-c e electoral divisions, which, he thought, must lead to much trouble, if not con- fusion. at election times. He suggested that one division be marked "J," another "Jl," and the third "J2." 'The Revising Barrister thanked Mr Parry for calling his attention to the matter and invited him to icmind him of it later on so that a cor- icction could be made. At the close the Revising Barrister remarked: Th;s list is a very good one, gentlemen, con- sidering how complicated the place must be. The party agents agreed. ASSISTANT OVERSEER'S SALARY. Mr Thomas Jones made all application to the Revising Barrister for "a email advance" in his salary. He pointed out that hiu salary last yea.r had been £100, but his work had been and was "growing by ieapti and bounds." There were between 150 and 200 more names on the list this ycor than the previous year, and the district had of late been divided into three wards, which made his work more difficult. He also remarked t-hat the district was peculiar inas- much as ite population was much of a "shifting character." In that respect at was very different to places like Abergele and Conway, where people resided for years in the same place. His salary had previously been nr1- creased three years ago from JE92 to jElOO. In reply to the Revising Barrister, Mr Jones said he had, roughly speaking, about 2200 people to deal with this year. The Revising Barrister: That ie somûthinlike the number at Rhyl. Mr Mott: But I think the changes are woit-e 'here than at Rhyl. This has a different class of population to Rhyl. Mr Gwilym Parry remarked that the fre- quency with which the word "successive" ap- peared on the Colwyn Bay list was striking, and that spoke for itself. The Revising Banaster: i. think the salary at Rhyl is £100, and there is about the same num- ber of voters there. J will make VOUTO £ 105: shall I? Mr Thomas Jones: Thank you, sir. The assistant, overseer added that the printer's bill amounted to between £ 35 and JM8 per annum.
DENBIGH.'

Bryan and Mr T. Jones Williams for tho borough of Denbigh. The Liberals, both county and borough, were represented by Mr Gwilym Parry. The various assistant ovemeeris and Mr J.

Llanddogct, Llanger'niew and Eglwysbach was held at Llanrwst on Fri- day morning, before the Hon. R. C. Grosvenor. Mr C. C.

Mr Mott: I should like to see Division II. done away with altogether. LODGER CLAIMS. Lodger votes wore granted to Ernest Lloyd, W. Ewart Price, Walter Roberts, J. E. Jone.s and R. Thomas in tho Llanrwst urban parish! and a similar claim was not objecled to on be- half of Mr Wiiliajn Burnwell. at Llangerniew. CAN A ROAD BE OCCUPIED? THE RECTOR OF TREFR1 W AND His VOTE. The Rev. John Gower, Trefriw, claimed a vote in rctpect of occupation, and this was objected to by the Liberal agent, who stated that the claim was made in respect of a road. There must aVo be an occupation qualification for Division III. Revising Barrister: Why is he not on in re- spect of the Hafod ? Mr Parry: That is in Carnarvonshire. Revising Barrister: What is the c!aim in re- spect of? Mr Gower: The road known as Cfower's-road from Trcfriw to Llanrwst Station. Mr Parry But tha-t is in Carnarvonshire. Mr Gower: No, the part from the bridge to the railway station is in Denbighshire. Revising Rarriftcr: To be on Division III. you ni U.,t occupy something. You ,an t occupy a road- The public occupy that. Mr Gower: But it is a trespass read. I do occupy it, and pay rateK Revising Barrister: I hold you do not occupy it. Mr Gower: What do I do then? Mr Mott: Could he not. be put on a separate list. Mr Parry: You better claim on another franchise next year and fight it out. Mr Gower: I occupy the toll house if I don't live in it. Revising Barrister: Oh, no. you don't. Wiiiiarn James, the toll collector, who was on Division I. was objeotcd to on account of his not being there the £u:l year. The applicant, however, produced an account book shewing the takings at the gate whilst he had been there since the beginning of July, 1906. The objection failed.

OLD COLWYN.
OLD COLWYN. THE QUESTION OF RATES. The proceedings at Old Coiwyn were of more intercut than usual. Mr (Jordon Robertp, Conservative agent, 00- jected to the name of Mr John Roberts, Hafod unc8, being placed on tho owners' lift on the ground that ho was not tJ;e owner. The over- seer had I)ti-L (the name on without authority, a.nd as far a-1? lie was informed, Mr Roberts was not the owner. The had been served with notice. an<i1 should have hoe^n nresent. If lie- had coano he (the tollKMuo:) would have to pay the COgts. The BarrViteir held that he* entstled to over-rule the objection if he thought it right, oven if the man did not put. in m appearofnee. Objection had been. made toO him on several occasion, and ho had over-ruled them without the presence of tllie person to whom it referred. Had this a new claim it would have been tslightly different. Mr Whitley, lecail agent, said that the ife a few ,ea.r previously had cia,JI11('(IJ ownTE,11¡P, but the property was ijic-rtga.ged, -,n.(] the mort- \,(1 g 1110 brc4Ihe, Mr Fen fir illiidano (for the Liral) said tfhat working- men could not. possibly be pre- sent. They did not know where court was hold, and they dad not look at oli-ape) doors for the notices ile had had the utrnofct difficulty in getting them to come. Yet. it was their duty to preserve tlie rights of citizens which these people claimed. The objcof.ion was eventually withdrawn, "THE KING OF WALES." Mr Goirdon Roberts asked t.hat the final "0" shouf.d be taken out of the name of Major W vJitn, of the name beang giyc-n in the I lists as "\Vpmc." The Barrister ea-id that the had been at "XI}- lege with the Major, and if amyone had made suc'h a nri^f-ako there they would have got tliei- lieads punched (laughter). They must put in the rigfiit spelling of the name of "the King of Wales." Later, in dealing with a. v.im.ilar application, the Barristeii- remarked "Wo will take out the pwperfluous 'e' UNPAID RATES. A large mum,ben- of objections by the Conser- vatives, owing to unpaid rater, > ere upheld. Thetse, it was stated were not ow- ing to any fault of :he tenants, t*nt to an ounifssion by the landlord. J";ie Revising Ba;rrister remarket* 'hat it was a all aim such people dho-uld be disfranchised be- cause the landlord had not paid the rater* Later, the name of the landlord in question was objected to, and the Barrister said he was very- glad to removo the na.me. A )N'S CLAIM. John WilJiajn<?, of Maenaji-terrace, was A>- jected to on the ground that Jhtis mother was the tenant, her name being oil t.he rent book. Mr Pentir Wiilliama supix>rted tlie a.pphoa- tion 011 the ground thai WUiiame was the bread'. winner of the family. He eaid it was very- likely that the wife's ncune was on the rent book, a:nd t'hat tthte hueba.i*d's had been on be- fore. Now the eon wtas t,he bread-winner; still he had not the rights of cotrizenship. Mr Whitley said the name of (lie mother ap- peared 011 the rant book. Mr Pentir Williams continuing, said that the (son liad taken oh himself the :»j.»Jeno! citizen- ship rather than allow his mother to 'go OJI THE panish." The Banrister said he had decided that tihe naiia should' be taken out, although he was eorry, aard fully realised the argument of Mr Wil- liarim. OBJF/TION WITHDRAWN. The name of Ed. Evaiw was objected to on the' grouindfS that he had received parish re- lief. In reply to a question, the Assistant Over, seer said the main had reocuved a. little niilk during an ifhiess. The whole, of his reuef had only amounted to 14e. and this had been in kind- Mr Pentiiir Williams said it was a \ery hard' oepe, but of c-ourse^ if his friend cared to pre-oj.; it there was (nothing to be done. T'he Barrister pointed out that they ll,ig' t "take this to be medical relief." Mr Gordon Roberts said he would prefer to witlhdraw the objection. "INiSORUTABLE WAYS OF THE POST OFFICE Thos- Robert*, of 13, Mae nan-to mice, Lhs- faen, was objected to by the Conservative agent on the ground that. there was no perecai of tJh;1t. n.anno living at that adolresa, in fact there wum no .such number. Robe.rtfl stated that he had feiit notice of the objectioni, but it thad beo.11 returned marked "not known." The Arista rat Overseer stated that there was i a Thoe. Robert. but he was a sailor. His wife, however, lived in the place named. Mr Latham: The WtNr, of the post office are inscrutable- I havo had le.tter8 th,.t were ad- dro-wed to me lcturned marked *!iot kiit,,vn THE BREAD-WINNER. Mr Isaac Williams, Rock Cottage, was ebjee- ted to because he wa& not tihe tenant. The Overseer said the applicant, was tenant of tho present hou«e, an<J also )aid tihe rent. He kept his mother so as net to let her go on the parish. He claimed for Craigt-ide- Mr Roberts pretexted that the officers were! pairty men. Mr Williams replied that Sie thought there ought to be To nuibbling. Mr Roberts com ended that the remarks w re only heaaQty. a.nd what, tho mother had said. The Barrkvr said he had always taken over- seers' evidence as litil-,a.rtlit), and when in court they ought to bo so. They were there to give such a-eietance and make .statements that would a^ist tho barrister- He had invariably taken what they said m facts. It was their duty -to remain unbiassed by party feelings, am,! to lend to each side their assistance. Mr Roberts said that tho A^si^taiU Overseer had been the Radical agent, until recently. Mr Pentir Williams admitted that that, had been the oa-c for a short time. He had known him person ally, but he had never had a more tiuthful agent. The Barrister said he would allow tihe vote as he was of opinion, that the man was the bread-winneir- HUSBAND AND WIFE. A claim was made by the Liberals for a vote in reispcet of v h:C1h the wolfo was the owner of the property, and the husband was the tenant. Mr Gor*;V>:i Roberta objected. Mr Williams contended that there wa6 nothing to prevent a man being his own wife's tenant. The Barrister admitted that there was nothing to prevent it, but he was not prepared to re- cognise it.

Carmen Sylvan-road, Llandudno, on the ground that. he had not occupied the premises during t-he qualified period. Mr J.

Mr Nee: If you put it in that way of appealing to me I will allow it. The vote was allowed. "The,-e were no other objections made by either %ide.

Yesterday (Wednesday), a County Council in- quiry was. held at the Public Ha-.I, Trefriw. to consider an application by the Trcfriw Parish Council for an additional representative 011 the Llanrwst Board of Guardians and Geirionydd Rural District Council. The Om-mit-tee of In- quirv was composed of Messrs P. Mcliartyre, G. O. Jones, and R. O. Davies, re prose 11 ting Car- narvonshire, and Mci.srs J. M. Porter and D. Mao Nicoli, representing Denbighshire. Mr P. Mc-lntyr<? was appointed chairman of the Committee of Inquiry. Mr R. E. Thomas, the clerft of the Par,h Council, handed in a table, showing the popu- lation and rateable value, as compared with other parishes. r There was 110 response to the question ot the Clerk as to whether there was. any opposition to the app-ica.tion, but the Rev. John Gower re- marked that there were several petitions in favour of it from Denbighshire and Oirnarvoii- shirc. The Rev. Henry Jones (chairman of the Parish Council), in the course oi a lengthy statement, said that at a meeting of the Council, held in June. it was resolved to make appJcation to the County Council for another guardian and district councillor for the parish of Trefriw. The resoiution had the hearty and unanimous support of all the members present. Their case, in the main, was based on a comparison with the representation of -other parishes in the Union and in the Geirionydd District C oun- cil. wcro g-ubuuittod to &how how uhi.4 Trefriw" pa rich, on account of its rateable value, its population, and its prospects, was ent-it.cd to increased representation. Mr R. R. Owen, clerk of the Geirionydd Council and Board of Guardians, submitted re- solutions supporting the application from the Council and the Board of Guardians. The Rev. Rawson Wiih-ame also spoke in favour of the application, stating that the Guardians were unanimous in their decision to support the application. As a resort he thought Trefriw deserved strong representation. Mr R. R. Owen also spoke in favour. On behalf of the Geirionydd District Coun- cil, the Rev. John Gower. the chairman, raid that exce<MiingIy great alterations had taken place in Trefriw during the b5 years he had been there. There were but few houses there then, but they have now increased exceeding- ly, and no doubt would still increase. As there i Inc, was no opposition, he thought the application should be granted. If there was any opposi- tion. it should come from Denbighshire. Re- ferring to the popularity of Trefriw as a re- sort, the rev. gentleman said that people f came there unable to move. but- after taiing Cae Co-eh water they were able to leal) over the mountains, and persons visited the weife from all parts of the world. The Chairman paid that the committee had been given power to act in the matter, and they would consider the application in pri- vate. On the motion of the Rev. Henry Jones, seconded by Mr R. T. Ellis, a hearty vote of thanks was a-cccwded the committee. It was afterwards ascertained that the applica- tion was granted, and it will come into force on the 1st of January next.
