OPPOSITION Tp THE SCHEME. Mr J. R Hughes introciuced a discussion with regard to the proposal to erect now police build- ings at Lliiidudio, at a cost of JE7000. He moved that no application be made fer the mcnay until the agreement with the Mostyn Es- tcto had been perused by the Police Committee. Mr W. Pierco (Beddgelert) objected to such a large sum as £ 7000 being spent on a police station even at Llandudno, and lie moved that a resolution be sent to the Police Committee that the Council did not consider it expedient that £ 7000 should be spent upon the buildings, es- pecially as thero were more worthy objects in "r. the county which merited expenditure. Mr Thomas Jones (Portdinorwic) seconded. Whilst agreeing that Llandudno was "a classical place"—(laughter)—he strongly protested against J&7000 being spent upon ornate buildings when an ordinary strong structure wcfuld be quite suffi- cient. Mr Richard Daries: You can pass this resolu- tion, but it won't have any effect. Mr Pierce: Let's tell them that we won't pay the bill (hear, hear). Mr J. R. Hughes: Any resolution from us must be acted upon. Mr R. Jones Roberts (Bangor) pointed out that the Chief Constable was not in favour of erecting now police buildings at Llandudno. Dr. Prichard (Conway) expressed great sur- prise at tho opposition of the Chief Constable, especially as he had attended the meetings of the sub-committee. Mr J. R. Hughes: These remarks should be made at the Police Committee, so that the fl'nief Constable might reply. Mr Vincent pointed- out that tne motion was out of order, because the matter was only dis- cussed at the last meeting of the County Coun- cil. The motion was carried tnough several coun- cillors declared that they did not know what it was. Mr T. W. Griffith: It is not right (cries of "Too la 11 to ?'IAL EDUCATION L'F,VIES. SPE The Rev. W. Morgan (St. Ann's) referred to the special levies made on the parishes of Llan- degai (£32 19s) and Llanllechid (C21 16s 8d) in respect of the Education Act, and Mr E. R. Davies explained that the levies were in respect of children from those parishes attending the Bethaada schools. Rev. W. Morgan: It is neither regular nor legal. Mr E. R. Davies: On, yes, it 1e. I think I 8hould have had notice of this question, and I largest that Councillor Morgan should do that. SURVEYOR'S COMMITTEE. The Surveyor's Committee mentioned that the surveyor had submitted a repcrt as to the extra- ordinary traffic along the main road from Lian- lwst to Porthllwy3, Talybont and Talycafn, in connection with the construction of aluminium works. Much damage had been done to the roads, and many of the drains and culverts had already been renewed. The traffic would ap- parently contim'e for some time. A separate ac- count was being prepared of the extraordinary expenses incurred. A latter was read from the clerk to the Lleyn Council suggesting the advisability of construct- ing a bridge to bear vehicular traffic by Ysgoldy Bach, in the parish of Bryncroes. The matter was deferred, and the clerk was instructed to make inquiries as to whether the existing bridge or culvert belonged to the county. Hugh Jones, Pendinas, Tregarth, a roadman, wrote stating that for 18 years he had been em- ployed by the County Council, and that he was now, and had been for six months, unable to do any work, and he appealed to the Council to grant him an allowance. The committee recom- mended that the application bo not acceded jQ. A committee was appointed to inquire into an application by the Geirionydd Rural District Council for an order declaring the road known as the "New Road," leading from the Holyhead road near Hendre Isa to the village of Yspytty Ifan, a main road. Mr Closs, Plastirion farm, Llanrug, wrote directing attention to the alleged unsatisfactory state of the fence adjoining the main road be- tween Cwmyglo Railway Station and Penllyn, and it was decided to inform him that the re- pair of the fence in question ia ono for the owner of the land adjoining. Tho Clerk reported that he had looked into the question raised by the North Wales Power and Traction Company and others with respect to the repair of the old road from Gwynant Lake to Penvgwryd, and was satisfied that no liability whatever attached to the County Council. A letter from Mr W. Lloyd Davie*, ot Hign- biiry-place, Loncn, calling attention to a notice j lacc:l at the commencement of the Capel Curig rente to Snowdon, viz., "Private road, no ve- hicle allowed Footpath on sufferance only. Bv order It "vas lecommended that the matter referred to being one for the Parish Council—the letter be laid on the table. Mr J. R. Pritchard-, however, moved that the letter be sent to the District Council and to the Parish Council. The C'erk said it was explained nr the committee that no attempt had been made by anybody to prevent the path being used if t|iprc had been any obstruction the case would be different. Mr J. R. PrieeTiard: Perhaps an obstruction will be erected later on. It was agreed to eend copies of the letter to the District and Parish Councils.
