Parry), the Assistant Olerk (Mr J, W. Post), and other officials. A PLAGUE OF FLIES." AN AMUSING DISCUSSION. Mrs Oldman called attention to what she described as a "plague of flies" in the house. Hundreds of these insects, she said, tormented the sick poor inhabiting the hospital wards. The Board had pre- viously called the attention of the Oonway Corporation to the desirahility of removing theÏr refuse pit trom its site jU8t outside the worktlouse walls, but the Board's applications had not been successful. She Ílow moved that the Medical Officer of Health be asked to inspect the tip, and to report upon the Blatter, because she was convinced that the flies came from the tip. Mr William Davies (Colwyn Bay): I second that, Mr Chairman. These complaints have been going on for many years now, and it is full time that the Gonway Corporation be prosecuted over this business (laughter). Mr Ed. Roberls (Conway) asked whether any com- plaints had been previously made to the Corporation; he could not recall any. The Chairman: We have been complaining for years; you know that yourself. Mr Ed. Roberts: No; I don't, Mr Chairman. Mr Wm. Davies: Yes; we have complained for years Mr Ed. Roberts (with a wave of the hand): Oh, Oolwvn Bay may say what thy. like (laughter). But come now, Mr Chairman thIs IS a very serious matter It is all very nice to laugh, you know <renewed laughter), but when this sort of thing ceta 111to the papers it is a serious thin for the Corpora- tion. Can you prove what you say? It is very easy to say a thing, but proving it i a dierent matter, to say II. thing, but proving it IS a different matter (laughter). Mr O. W. Roberts: I rise to a point of order. Mr Roberts rose to move an amendment, and I have l10t "et heard the amendment. M; Ed. Roberts: My amendment is that we gt more time (laughter). I hare never heard of this thing before. The Chairman: You move that the matter be de- ferred. „ ferred. „ Mr Roberts: Yes, and that we write the Oorporation and see what they have to say about the question. The Chairman said be quite agreed with what Mrs Oldman had sdd. Be had visited the hospital bimself and he could assure the members that the wre a great nuisance. He thought they would do right to ask the Oorporation to remove the tip. Mr McOlement 8aid he had called attention to the desirability of removing the tip before, and he wished to know whether the tip still remained where it used to be. Several members cried, "Yes." Mr McOlement: Then I will IUpport the resolution. Mr Ed. Roberts (to the Chairman): Do you say that the tip has not been removed? j-'he Chairman Tea, I do. I say the flies in the hospital are a nuisance* but I can't flay for certain that the tip is the cause of them. ?tIr Ed. Roberts: You don't expect the uonway Corporation to keep an inspector of flies; do you? (loud laughter). I ask you plamly now-can you SSlearlv prove that the flies are caused by the tip/ The' Chairman We can ask the Medical Officer of Health whether he considers the tip to be a nul- vance, anyhow. PROOF IN THE EATING. Mrs Oldham: It is suggested that we need proof f the nuisance. If any member wants any proof he may come wIth me to these wards and judge for himself. I wonder whether any ot us would like to taste the food into which these infected 1Uea have fallen. Several members Oh! (laughter). The Rev. J. Raymond said that as there was no certainty whether the tip waa responsible for the Aies, he failed to see how they could move, Mr Wm. Davies: This il a very urgent matter. We must approach the Medical Officer of Health, and if he decides that this tip is a nuisance the Conway Corporation should be prosecuted unless they abate it. Mr Raynes pointed out that the tip which had been described as a nuisance last year was situated on another site, at the back of the infirmary, but he present tip was further away considerably. 1111' John Williams (Conway): I have no recollec- "oon of any oomplaint made to the Corporation. Mr Wm. Williams (Llandudno): It was about two yer's ago. Inr Ed. Roberts: But those flies are dead now (loud laughter). Mr McOlement remarked that unle8s something were done at once the 11ies would have disappeared moreover, their Medical Officer of Health would be leaving the oountry shortly, so that if the Board meant to fight the Oonwa.y Oorporation over the matter they must proceed immediately, so 11.8 to k get Dr Fraser's services as &. wil;ne88. Mr John Williams sud there WII.8 no need for fighting. A special meetinc of the Corporation Would be held in a fortnight, and Mr Edward Roberta &1Id himsel1 would be glad to do all they could to have the nuisance abated if the Uorporation were responsible. Mr Roers Jones: I have a lot of fiie8 &t my house, and I have no tip near the place. Mr O. W. Roberts suggested that a sma1l committee be appointed to go into the whole question im. mediately." Mr McClement: And that this committee be em- powered to deal with the flies at once (laughter). Mr Raynes (smilingly): I move that the lady mem- l'B and Mr O. W. Roberts serve on the committee. The Chairman And you can call it the Flies Com- mittee if you like (roarl of laughter). GUARDIANS AS FLY-KILLERS. 111' Aneurin Jones: I think it would have been far better for us at the commencement to set about to- gether to kill the flies ourselves. We have been here talking for quite long enough & time to bave done it (laughter). Mr Ed Roberts I second that motion on the under- standing that Mr J onea provides us with a gun and powder and shot each (renewed laughter). Mrs Oldman vigorously protested against so muoh levity, and said this was a matter for pity and IIYDJpathy with the poor sufferers rather than for laughter. Mr Aneurin Jones: I beg your pardon, Mrs Old- man. I can assure rou that you have not a mono- rily of the good feeling existing for the poor people. Bay Mrs Oldman: I think that laughing at a nuisance Which troubles the poor people is not wortby of this BOArd. Mr Aneurin Jones said he claimed to be equally serious, and he was surprised that AJrs Oldman had stood the laughter which had been going on for 80 tong a time. He repeated Ulat if all the members had set about killing the flies themselves they would have done far more good than wasting valuable time Over so mueh talk. Mr W. Williams appealed to the Board to have nothing to do with a Flies Committee," otherwise they v-ould make themseles the laughing stock of the whole country. Mr Haynes gravely assured Mr Williams that he Wns quite serious over his suggestion that the ladies and Mr O. W. Roberts serve on the committee, because he felt that ladies would6e tar more suc- cessful in dealing with such a matter than men. Mrs Oldman If the Indies had been able to abate the lluisance it would have beem done 80 long ago. After some further discussion, much in the same strain, The Rev. J. Raymond said it did seem a pity that the Board shoulù waste so much time over so simple matter. Eventually, after two or three divisions, the ques- tion was referred to the Works Committee, who were given power to act. TOLICE BUILDINGS FOR 'LLANDUDNO. A pnOnST AGAINST PALATIAL ERECTIONS." In accordance with notice of motion, Mr McOlement Moved that the Board protest against the proposed expenditure of £ 7,000 on county police buildings at Llandudno. He said he need say little in support of the motion, because he felt sure that it would commend itself to all of them. He would, however, remind them of the faot that the Chief Constable for the county had stated at the last Police Oom- mittee meeting that he could not say ttIere was an absolute necessity for a police station or court room at Llandudno (hear, hear). On reading the report of the meeting it would be further seen that those who were not in touch with the ratepayers nor directly represented them in any way-namely the magistrates who served on the o0mmit,t.ee-were the persons who favoured the project, while the other lectiun of the committee-those members of the Oounty Council who were connected with it., men who directly represented and were in touch with the ratepayers—strongly opposed it. With the excep- tion of the Llandudno members, all the county coun- clllor TO the oommittee were against it (hear, hear). He argued that, as the Chief Constable had declared there was no necessity for the buildings; and that As the majority of the representatiHS of the rate, payers had pronounced against them, that, as the magIstrates did not represent the ratepayers, and, further, that. as the rates were already so very high, to spend the large sum of £ 7,000 on the projected buildins would be unjust. In addition to his motion, he wished to moyc that the Board request all the Unions throughout Carnarvonshire too adopt a similar resolution. Mr Aneurin Jones seconded. He held tIlat, ItS far as p,>ssible, people who weTe not directly in touch with, and responsible to, the ratepayers should not have the right to spend the ratepayers' monev. It was no doubt a laudable desire on the part of I Llandudno to possess palatial public buildings, in ke8ping with the remaining erections in the town, bt. when the money for such huilding were pro- vided. from the purses of the poor their voices should be heard over the matter. A SLIP. Mr O. W. Robert9, who rose to move an amend- JDent, said that at the outset he objected to the taction on tire ground that it had been seconded by a member of the Board who did not represent any part of the county concerned. Mr Aneurin Jones was a member residing in Denbighshire. Several cries of "You are wrong," and an emphatic denial from Mr Jones, followed ttiis assertion. Mr Roberts: Then I apologise to Mr Jones for my error. I thought he lived in Denbighshire. The Chairman You are not well acquainted with the geography of this place. Mt. Roberts: I will have to learn it. evidently (hear, hear). Continuing, 1\1r Roberts said that the need tor something other than the existing police station at 'Llandudno must be obvious to all who were acquainted with it (laughter), The building Was certainly not worthy of the town nor of the Col1nty, especially having regard for the fact that a larg-e proportion or the cost which would be entailed on the new buildings would be contributed by I.Iandudno iteH. The present police station was inadequate in size, diflkuJt of access, and out of the way (hear, hoar), while the magistrates' room was certainly unworthy of a piace ef the popuhltion and importance of Llandudno, for it was ulltJealthy small, and badly ventilated. M1' William Williams: But the magistrates meet at tl.e Town Hull hOW. Mr Ruberts said 11') waR referring to th old court ronm, but the fact that the Town Hall wa ttow used went to support his argument, because eveT. that pIac" was not suitable owing to its un. sa.tH q, 'torv Qceonlie properties.

"HUMORS OF HISTORY." I U. -I' THE STORY OF THOMAS A BECKET.-NO. 3. After Becket became attached to the Court he rose high in the King's favour. He was remarkable for the gorgeousness of his dress and the extent of his establishment. There is a story that one day in winter when he was ridin; through London with the King, his Majesty pointed to a beggar by the roadside, and remarked that it would be a charity to give the poor man a nice warm cloak.' 'It would, Sire,' said Becket. and it is to your Majesty's honor to think of such Christian duties.' Well then,' said the King, give him yours, 'tis warmer than mine,' and the King plucked Becket's cloak from his shoulder and handed it to the beggar. The New History of England."

LLANDUDNO NATIONAL SCHOOLS. COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. THE STAFFING QUESTION. meeti g of the managers of the Llandudno National SchooLs waj held on Friday evening, at the Ctiureh House, the Rector (Rev. Ll. R. Hughes) presiding, and the other members pre- sent were: Messrs Richard Conway, Ralph Fisher, and thef Rev. John Hughes, together with Mr J. E. Hornsby, headmaster, Church Walks School; Mr J. S. Stevens, headmaster, Bodafon School; and Misa Bamford, headmis- tress, Church Walks School. Mr Stevens, headmaster of the Bodafon School, presented a report as to the deficiencies of staff, and as to repairs arvl equipment, which needed attention. He contended that it was not the at- tendance that should gauge the number of teachers required, but the number of classes. In the infant school at Bodafon there were only two teachers for 51 children. In Bodafon they had only four teachers for 162 children, whilst in the Craigydon School they had five teachers for 151 children. Mr Richard Conway proposed that a copy 01 the report be sent to the Board of Education, and to the Carnarvonshire Education Committee. Mr Ralph Fisher: Will you be content to send the report to the Carnarvonshire Education Committee only? Mr Richard Conway: No, indeed, I won t. It is the little children who suffer--they are being robbed of their birthright. The Rector said there did not seem to be any dispute as to the requirements, but the schools were starved. The local managers had already borne the fargest expense. Mr R. Conway: The County Education Com- mittee are doing their utmost to enforce un- necessary demands upon us. We have recently provided a play-grounfl at Bodafon at an im- mense cost. Mr R. Fisher: But that demand came from the Board of Education, did it not? Mr R. Conway: Certainly not, it came from the Carnarvonshire Education Committee. The Rector: The Board of Education gene- rally enforce their demands through the inspeo tors.. Mr R. Conway: This Is a sort of intolerable tyranny, and it is high time we should stand up for our rights. Upon being put to the vote Mr Conway s motion was declared carried. SUCCESS OF A CHURCH SCHOOL PUPIL. Mr Hornsby remarked that the first Richard Owen Scholarship had been won by one of the pupils of the Church Walks Schools. The state- ment was received with much gratification by the managers. Mr Stevens pointed out that a. girl from the Llandudno County School, who had passed the Central Welsh Board examination, had been "dumped" into the school, which was under- staffed, and she had not had the leaot training in the art of teaching, and he was much too busy to teach her that art. Mr Hornsby, the headmaster of the St. George's School, Llandudno. expressed the opin- ion that before any pupil from a County School should be reckoned on the staff of any school, he or she should have twelve months' experience in one of the larger elementary schoolt3, as an apprentice, and during the twelve months' alp- prenticeship, he or she should not be considered part of the teaching staff of the school for the purpose of calculating the number of teachers the school should have. INEQUALITIES OF STAFF. Mr Richard Conway complained that the County Education Committee deliberately dis- criminated in the staffing of the schools of the county between the provided and the non-pro- vided, to the disadvantage of the children who I were being educated in the latter class of school, and to indicate the oxtent to which, he alleged, this unfair discrimination was carried he quoted statistics as to the staffing of and number of children attending the Llandudno schools. Lloyd-etreet Council School, he said, had four certificated teachers, and two Article 50 teachers. There were 206 children on the books, which gave one certificated teacher for every 52 chil- dren. In the L'.oyd-strcet Girls' School there were five certificated teachers and one Article 50; 230 children on the books, and on certi- ficated teacher for every 46 children. The In- fants' Department at Lloyd-street had three cer- tificated teachers, one Article 50. and one Ar- ticle 68 (at B60 a year). On the books were 189 children, giving one certificated teacher for every 63 children. The Craigydon Council School had two certificated teachers, one Article 50, and one monitrcss. On the registers there were 100 children, the proportion of certificated teachers being one to every 52 children. The proportion was just similar in the Craigydon Infants' Department. Turning to the Church Schools, Mr Conway stated that at St. George's Mixed School there were two certificated teachers, three Article 50, and one Article 68 advertised for. With 190 on the books, this gave one certificated teacher for every 95 children. St. George's Infant Depart- ment had one certificated teacher, one Article 60, one Article 68,. and one monitrese. There were 87 on the books, and therefore one certi- ficated teacher for 87 children. Bodafon Church School had two certificated teachers, one 'Article 50, one Article 68, and the places of two other teachers wero vaoant. There were 163 on the books, and 81 children for each certificated teacher. Conway Non-provided School, Infants' Department, had one certificated teacher, three Article 50, one Article 68, and a pupil teacher in her third year. The number on the books was 176, eo that there was only one properly trained certificated teacher to 176 children. Sum- ming up, Mr Conway claimed to show that Coun- cil Schools were staffed on the average, and in proportion to the number of scholars, by more than twice the number of trained teachers that were employed in the Church School. He further held that the same policy was followed with respect to the school cleaners, pointin.g out that the cleaner in the St. George's Schools, with a total number on the books of 277, 're- ceived dS25 a year, while the cleaner at the Craigydon Schools, with 151 on the books, re- oeived zC26 a year. The cleaner at Bodafon, where there were 162 on the books, had only Lb a year. A new Council School on the Great Orme's Head had recently opened in the Baptist chapel. Its cleaner reoeived 112a 6d a month, while the cleaner of St. Beuno's School, in the same locality, and with about the same number of children attending, received as 4d a month. All t.he cleaners alike had to provide the cleaning material^ and also firewood in winter. EDUCATION COMMITTEE'S DEMANDS. Mr Conway sa.id at the last meeting he was asked to take in hand the question of the latest demand by the County Education Committee for improvements, repairs, etc., at the several Churoh Schools. It was sugigesied tha-t the Chairman of the committee and the County Architect should meet him on the spot to con- sider the requirements, but he received a let- ter from the Secretary to say that the committee could not oons-ent to any such consultation, and, that their requisition must be striotly carried out, unless, on an appeal to the Board of Educa- tion, some or all of the requirements were de- clared to be unreasonable. Unices and until these requirements were carried out, it was not likely that the committee would undertake any responsibility for the minor repairs mentioned in the previous communication of the head teachers. In view of that reply, he pr.ooeeded to carry out the work specified, and it was actually completed by the date specified, namely, Septem- ber list. The specified work was cleverly put down in order that everything might cost as much as possible. A large addition had been made to St. Beuno's, and several other things had been done, and at Bodafon the same. At Bodafon a very large play-ground had been formed, at great expense, a level space having to be excavated out of the side of the mountain, and a costlv retaining wall had to be built. -Yprc The cost of the work alt ,ether would al ach £450. The Rector: I understand that everything we were asked for has been done, and that we have shirked nothing? Mr Conway: Quite right. A vote of thanke was passed to Mr Con- way for the trouble he 4kad ta-ken in the mat- tor. The Rector said he' hoped that the County •Education Committee would now do their duty by the schools, and see that they were properly staffed and maintained.

Titie Clark explained that tthe custody of road- side wastes was in the foaun/dis of the Rural Dis- trict Council. q,r (.?onwy Bell prop3w-?-d t4&t, sub'ect to the approval of the Road Surveyor as to position, etc-, permission be granted. Mr Geo. Williams seoowfod.

He would) cor t airily c'ppcoo the ap- plication. Mr Conwy Reill replied that the seats would be a girteat imp-rovellicint. and he felt that there we.ro many places where they could be placed without inltarfering witih the traffio. The sur- veyor would use ihis common sense as to where tiho seats should be placed. it was suggested that one seat be fixed tneaar Pout Dafydd Bridge- No traffio went near irnere. Tiro Road Surveyor said it was a question whether the County Council wotUil>cf not oorieiuer tlhe seats -an enoroadhimenit an the road. The Otark replied tlbat they could give per- mission ao far as they Jeigallv could- Mr Mongian said it was questionable whether they could give any permission that rroadside waste be used. The Council hau only the power to protect it. Tthe Clerk said it could net be an obstruction where there was plenty of room. Hhe Vioe-Chairman (Mir Ed. WiLIiam^ agreed witih Mr Morgan that they should not allow any space to be taken up by tfce seats. Who would sit on the seats and be covered by "motor dust ?" The Chairman replied that they would be fine m3ate for tramps to rest on mi til the vagrant ward opened- Hhe Vioc-Chairman added that they had only to Iliook cm the soarts in Grange-road, Rhyl, to see what they were used for. Mr Morgan moved that tihe Clerk inform the Parish Council tihat thov did not consider it adhiiaable to place the eoats on the side of the The Clerk 83;id it was had opinion that tthe Parish Council had no p,ow€tr to ftp end money to fix seats on tihe roadside.

LADY MOSTYN AND THE TAL. ACRE SCHOOLS. A NEW DEVELOPMENT. At Friday's meeting of the Holywell Rural District Ojuncil the Cleik read the following letter which lie had reccivea tr;>m Ladv Mostyn, of Talacre — Talacre, Frestatyn, October 4tii, 1907. Sir,-I have to acquaint you that there are children attending the Talacre Schools, whose education, board, and general welfare, I believe is entrusted by the parish to your care, and for whom you levy a rate on the parish' for this relief. Through the prolonged closing of the schools by the Flintshire County Council and local authorities when the school was under their care from October 5th, 1905, to January 20th, 190S, the trustees and managers of the Talacre Schools 'were forced to give the county authorities notice that the education of the children might proceed, as they were not educating- the children, but keep- ing the schools locked up with infectious germs, and the children at home all the while unneces- sarily, since when the grants have been refused to our schools, although the children never left them, and I must therefore ask you to be so good as to refund me for the education, the cleaning, and heating of the schools they have used, and to give me your directions as t.o the future of these children to be educated at the Talacre schools. If you do not agree with the parents' wish it will be necessary for you to remove these chil- dren to another school, which in the case of the Catholic children will mean that the county must board and lodge them at one of our denomi- national schools, which will mean £40 to £ 50 a year. I shall not receive them without proper compensation to our funds, and I will acquaint the attendance officer of my decision. Yours faithfully, ANNA MARIA MOSTYN. The Cleric said, although addressed to the District Council, the letter was meant for the Guardians. It was decided to bring the letter before the next meeting of the Board of Guardians (which had sat earlier in the day).

ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. "EXPENSIVE MEDICINES" FOR THE POOR. REPRESENTATION OF DYSERTH. The fortnightly meeting of the above Board was held on Friday. Mr Edwin Morgan, J.P., presided, and Mr J. Frimston (Rhyl) occupied the vice-chair. There were also present: Messrs J. Pieroe, John Roberts, J. E. Ellis (Abergele), W. S. Roberta (Bodfary), Mrs Gee, Messrs J. E. Jones, Robert Jones (Denbigh), Edward Wil- liams Dyserth), Mark Cross (Llanddulas), William Jones, Thomas Salusbury (Llannefydd), J. F. Jones (Cwm), G. Williams (Meliden), W. Conwy Bell, William Morris,Llew. B. Evans (Rhuddlan), Hugh Edwards, 1. Batho, S. Perks, Mrs De Ranee, Mrs M. Jones (Rhyl), Mias O.wen Jones (St. Aaaph), Mr J. D. Jones (St. George), and Mr Charles Grimsley (clerk). THE HOUSE. It was reported that there were 135 inmates in the workhouse, a decrease of seven on the cor- lespouding period last year, and that 117 tramps had been relieved as against 128 in the corresponding fortnight last year. ILLNESS OF MR T. HOWES ROBERTS. At the opening of the proceedings, the Chair- nuan referred to the serious illness of Mr T. Howes Roberts, St. Asaph, who, he said, was a very old member cf the Board. He proposed a veto of sympathy with him. This was sccnded by the Vice-Chairman, and earned unanimously. INCREASE OF SALARY. On recommendation of the Finance Com- mittee the salary of the industrial trainer was increased bv £2 10s per annum. "EXPENSIVE MEDICINES." The Local Government Board wrote sanction- ing the appointment of Dr. Lloyd as medical officer for Denbigh district, at £100 per annum, to include medicine. The Board pointed out that for some time they had considered it de- sirable that expensive medicines should be paid for by the Board when supplied to the poor, and they asked the Board to consider the matter. Mr J. D. Jones said it seemed to him that the suggestion was not a right one. They as a. Board always considered that the doctors did conscientiously give the poor tSe best medicines their cases required. Mr J. E. Jones felt it was a slur on the doctors to suggest that unless paid extra they did not give expensive medicines. Mr Llew. Evans moved that the matter be re- referred to the Finance Committee. The Chairman said the doctors were expected to give what medicine was required. Mr J. Pierce opposed the motion on the ground that* it was not a financial question. They were not prepared to incur any further financial responsibility after having engaged a doctor on certain terms. Why was it that the question had been raised in this instance? The Clerk said it was a footnote to the letter, and applied generally. It had nothing to do with Dr. Lloyd. Mr S. Perks said it was surprising to be told that medicines were expensive. The expensive part of the business came in with the consumer, as the first cost was small. Mr Llew. Evans: We must draw the line some- where. Mr Pierce said he was not prepared to cast a slur on the doctors by saying that they did not give ecpensivo medicines unless paid extra. He moved that the Beard do not at present deal further with matter. This was carried, whereupon Mr J. E. Jones said h3 hoped it did not mean that unless paid for the poor would not pet. expensive medicines. REPRESENTATION OF DYSERTH. A letter was received from the County Coun- cil as to £ n application by the Dyserth Parish Council for two guardians to lepresent the parish irsteed of one as at present. The Clerk explained that the Rural District Council had already considered the question, and referred it to the Board. Mr W. Conwy Bell said they had already fully discussed the matter, a.nd they considered that. if they entertained the application, a number ot other places would have to be considered, as they had the same rateable value and population as Dyserth. He would also point out that it they had any more representatives that that room would not hold them, as at present, especially in the summer months, the room was uncomfort- ably crowded. The Cha.iTman ar{>{'d with Mr. &11. Mr T. E. Jones int.inl1tÆ;d thg,t If DyHrth ha.d any more me-mbers Donblgh would ?'ant mMe also. The Clerk pointed out tha.t. the County Coun- cil had fixed the representation after due con- sideration. vM < t ? The Vic.e?Cha.irm&n said that Rhyl felt the town should have twelve memfoens instead of n¡œ Mr Conwy Bell that there were seven other places which <ld claim another member if Dy&erth's application were granted. Mr John Roberto, end he would agree to an increased represent^on if the membere would attend the meetings better (laughter). It was decided to proceed to the next business. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE WORKHOUSE, Mr Batho, reporting for the Visiting Com- mitbee, urged the Board to carry out certain imtprovennentos in the House, including the pro- viding of new baths, the fixing of ball ta-ps to prevent waste of water, etc. He believed the work could be done for £1Q or J612, and he pro- posed that it be carried out. Mrs De Ranee seconded. Mr T. E. Jones wanted to know when the improvements were to finish? He felt that they could easily re-arrange the baths, so that they could be used by different sections at different times. MJ1 De Ranee and Mr Batho urged tha-t this would not be a satisfactory course to pursue. Mr W. S. Roberts said he did not think that the Board need trouble about the expense. He had offered to take out the old baths and to re- place them by new if the Board would give him the old material. The old baths were of load, and were worth five new baths. It was decided to oarry out the work. Mr W. S. Roberts: What are you going to do with the old baths? Mr Llew. Evans: Sell them. Mr W. S. Roberts: Well I hope tho Master will give me a obance (laughter). A CURIOUS DISCUSSION. It wae reported that the relieving officer for Denbigh was ill in bed, and it was proposed that the Board pay Mr Owen Jones, his substitute, £1 per week for four weeks. Mr T. E. Jones pointed out that they were dealing with ratepayers' money. If he were ill he would have to pay a substitutue out d his own pocket. He moved that they do not pay the substitute, who did his own work at night. The Clerk observed that because a man worked extra at night it was not right that he shoiuld be penalised. It was not to be expected that Mr Owen Jones wou'.d give up what he was doing for a month's appointment. On a. vote being taken it was decided to pay £1 per week. THE BRABAZON SOCIETY. The Board granted a request made by Miss Ilore to hold a sale of work at the workhouse in connection with the Brabazon Society. MOwen Jones raid the society did excellent work, and found rna.terial for the aged and in- firm to do work in the workhouse, thereby occupying many idle moments. Mias Hore and Mias Grimsiey rendered splendid service for the society. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by the Vioe-Chairinan. a vote ofthanks was pieced to Miss Hore and Mias Grimsley for the interest thev took in the inmates. THE DEBIGILSHIRE, INFIRMARY CEN- TENARY. The Board decided to grant £5 extra to the Denbighshire Infirmary in connection with the centenary fund, tho annual subscrption bring now £ 8 Ba. Several mem-berg is poke in high terms the Infirmary, and of its work. A LOST COW. At the request of Mr William Jones, the tjoa.ri decided to forego JS6 arre.ar due from a black- smith in respcct of relatives' maintenance, hu having recently lost a cow. Mr J. Roberts failed to see what rv.e death of the cow ha.d to do with arrears, but Mr VV. S. Roberts urged that it would 110: be right to put a "double doso" on the n..m.

good care to secure all the benefits in the way of suitable buildings, and he thought the northern part of the county deserved more attention in that respect. SHOULD DENBIGHSHIRE MEMBERS VOTE? Mr J. T. Taylor (Colwyn Bay) asked whether it would be wise for those members who lived in Den- bighshire to vote on a question which affected Oar- narvonshire. Mr D. O. Williams (Old Colwyn): Certainly. Mr McClement: We are here to represent the rate- payers generally. We are to help Colwyn Bay, and Oolwyn Bay should help us. Mr William Davies, in a long speech, protested against the lavish expenditure incurred on ornate public buildings in Carnarvonshire and Denbighshire, and moved, as an amendment, that, while the Board was in favour of providing Llandudno with police buildings, they protested against the expenditure of so much public money on palatial buildings. The Rev. J. Raymond seconded the amendment. Mr Fisher asked whether it was a fact that Den- bighshire had spent £ 7,000 upon palatial police build- ings at Oolwyn Bay. Mr Wm. Davies: I believe so, and that Is the reason why I protest against doing so in this case (laughter). Mr Hugh Davies thought it was time Oolwyn Bay had the buildings, because they had none before. Mr McClement, in replying to the discussion, added that Col. Lloyd Mostyn, who was as much interested in Llandudno as any one. had stated at the Police Committee meeting that there was no desperate hurry for the new buildings at Llandudno. On a division, Mr McClement's motion, without the addendum referring to the appeal to other Unions, was carried by 16 votes to 12. Mr 0. W. Roberts: Now, I ask, Mr Chairman, that, in conveying this decision to the Police Committee, it should be explained that the resolution was car- ried by a small majority. Mr J. T. Taylor: That would give a very wrong impression, unless we also explained the nature of the amendment. The matter then dropped.
