LLANDUDNO PIER. BOARD OF TRADE AND THE NEW WORKS. Mr Ptliiam, Assistant Secretary to the Board of Trade, sat at the Board of Trade Olices en yesterday week to hear the app.;catK>n of tho Llandudno P&r Company, Limited, for a provisional order to e>.U?nu the pier and undertake certain otner works. Mr H. Lloyd, Mr Fitzgerald, and M/ HuichiiJson represented tho applicants, and tho application was opposed by the Llandudno TJrba.n District Council (represented by Mr R. Cleaso), by Lord jVlostvn (represented by Mr A. K Griffith), by the Lluidudno Grand Hotel Comtiany (represented by Mr Thornton Jones), bv the Llandudno Theatre Syndicate and bath- ing machine proprietors and boatmen (repre- sented by Mr E. E. Bone), and by the Liver- pool and North Wales Steamship Company (re- presented by its chairman, Mr H. Maciver). Mr Lloyd taid the pier was frequently over- crowded in the summer season, and steamship passenger* going to and from the boats wero greatly inconvenienced. The company sought powers to widen the pier and lav dowji a tiain- w;iy upon which to carry steamship passengers and their luggage. The foreshore on the southern side of flic pier—the side on which it was proposed to make the widcning-wa the property of tho Crown, and up to the pier it was let. on a yearly tenancy to the Urban District Council. Tho company sought power ,0v.f'T1^r upon that land by agreement, and tho Yvoods and Forests Commissioners had given their con- sent in writing, but. the Urban District Council objected. It would bo a. simple matter for the Commissioners to determine the tenancy of the Council, and then the company would no longer require the Council's consent. But there was an alternative phin—that the widening should be made on the northern side of the pier and carried down only to the entrance of tho old pre-lSSO pier. Part of the land on Una side tile company had acquired, and part was the property of the .Ecclesiastical Commissioner*, who did not object to the teheme. With regard to tramwayi?. the company already had powers, though thc had never been cxetvmed. It vac proposed, under the Provisional Order which was now w-Uvglit, to clot'-c at certain tiiDrc^ the ]antdwa.rd exton^ion of the pior the O'ruter oif 1380. That was the part of the on which the pavilinn stood. At pixy* ocr- eons who merely paid for admission to the pier —2nd before SIX o'clock and 6d after tix o CJOCK —had tho pleasure Otf the high-cla^e cntcirtain- ments given in the pavilion by remaining on the pier and gathering d.1f;c to the bunding. The intention was to cloee that portion of the pier d'urii>g pavilion, eii'tcrtaiirnienils a.nd leave open the old original pier, wlhich would add 28 feet to tho road leading to the end of the pier. Tho Order alto ankcd for powers to coin-tract and mainiain theatres, but that to be understood in the singular nuni'ber. sought also power to erect a generating t tat ion, and to supply elootric light and power to then tenants and to ottherf who paid them a rent chargo, lil¡ the Grand Hotel. GENERATING STATION EXCLUDED. Tho Afsiftant ScoreUry remarked that i; was a very t-t-ronjr nieatwo to propose to set up a .<'cnei-ajtin.g etatioii in oonneetion with li e p er works. 'The Piers and HarWurs Act of i,-61 did not cojitcanpJ'ii/t.o tJle nianufaci uro of tricity. Mr L!ov<l faid tho company hid aire,vt; set up a gei.'er.ating station to supply uie-a-fcoivep wiiiih electricity; but in reply 10 the A'hlant Secretary, he was EO! prepared to fay under wha-t auihority. The Assistant Secretary indiûaleJ 11nl Clauw 17 o'f t.he Provisional Orders of 18í6-1Lc iear- Cist au'thoritiy indicated—was not wuffieio'it, au! later he told objectors to the new Order that they need not trouble about the geno -it.ng tion.. Mi* Lloyd, in eenclusion, eaid if co.i.va,ny c:yul-d obtain power to widen the 011 the snuitihern eido tliey would ]>refer to do s<>. In.t if not, thev must go to t-ho northern sido. Jn answer to objector*, he f.aid it could be t. K- for granted that power net tougM 1o wuen on both sides. /-virvorr THE CASE FOR THE COL NCI L. Mr 'dense, for the Urban District Council, objected that the proposal to widen abridged the rights obtained by the Council under"their ov.n Acts, and 1 hey .had not given tlSr oUnt to such an abrio'gement, wlnoli consent was made neeessan by tlie liers a»d Harbours %t of 1851 before the present «»PP-'«- cation could succeed. 'The Council s tenancy o. foreshore fiwn the VVOJOS and i< ore^ Commissioners, though nominally from year to -IC.-J.I-, was in spirit perpetual. Ihe Council could only Le ousted by six monl-ns 110 ice at the end of the year, and he did not think that would ever be given. This second P »mt onlj affected tho proposal to widen the piN on the southern side, but the prejudice to the Counc-vi s statutory rights was equal wiiothor the widen. ing took plaeo on the eouthem side or the northern. .1\)>8 company had scheduled from three to five ao of land on the southern ide. But it had been tho practice ol the Hoard ot Trade not to confirni provisional orders aJlooting land without the consent, of 1.L.oso in wln the land was vested, and the Council not oonsent. Mr T. B. Farrington, civil engiteer, who lived in Llandudno for 30 years, was called t<> soeak to the need for an extension of too pier. OFFICIAL'S IMPRESSIONS Oh LLANDUDNO. OFFICIAL'S IMPRESSIONS OF LLANDUDNO. llhe Assistant Secretary said it had seemeu to him when he was at Llandudno, that the mer was not equal to the r< qur.ements of the town. Incidentally Mr Pelham remarked that he had alwavs thought of Llandudno as having a winter season, because he remembered read- ing of Mr .Mm Bright, going there rcgu arJy in°t.hc winter.. The witness was cross-examined by Mr Bone upon the possibility of the Grand HoteJV view being obstructed by the orect.on at a theatre on the pier, but the witness said obstruction woukl not lie serious, as the hot.! tailored to a p»i«t at the seaward end, an tl'A windmvs there were few and unimportant, lio hearing of the application was adjourned Tl'i PROPOSED ^'WIDENING ESTIMATED TO COST £ 26,000. The inquiry was resumed to-day week. Mr John Webster, engineer to the Pier Com na.nv "-aid that the theatre would be- 112 feet wide by 74 feet.and it would bcoU feet in heigVn. Cro*s examined by Mr Clcase, who the order on behalf of the Urban District Conned, he said that to a certain extent the widening was the purposes of the theatre a.nd the t, am way. The witness did not see why. nct- v it branding the company's limited memoran- dum of association, thq company should not be given power to carry on the business' of licensed victuallers. Tho proposed widening of the pier vould cost £26,000, it was estimated.—By Mr Thornton (for the, Grand Hotel Company): The tramway would be an electric one, but there would not he overhead wires. Mr Fitzgerald (representing the Pier Com- pany) said it was agreed that tho Grand Hotel had the exclusive right, under covenant, to sup- ply refreshment, on the pier, and it was not in- tended to derogate from the under which that, right was enjoyed. Mr Fitzgerald also stated that in any event the tramwftywouJd stop at the old toll-gate. Captain Walter Hawthorne, of the Mersey Trading Company, expressed the opinion that the widening of the pier was necessary for the safety of steamboat passengers landed there, and it. was desirable that the widening should be on the southward side. Mr Cleasei, addressing the Assistant Secretary against, the order, called attention to the limited memorandum of association of the company, and said that nvinv of thu powers now sought would be ultra vires. The Urban District Coun- cil objected to the widening taking place on the south side of the pier, b..t they did vet mind if the company widened the by 30ft. from tho old toll-gate seaward, L was ad- mitted that the landward widening would only bo required for the purp-ses of the theatre whioh was not yet built. In their pleadings the company wit* that, the main object of the proposed widening was to facilitate the c'n- «true bio n of the tramway, but 11<IW it. was de- cided that the tramway should stop at tho old toll-gate. Mr S. Chant-rev. chairman of the Llanducmo Urban Council, said tlhat the Council had una- nimously decided to oppose the order. Ibey -would agree to a widening on the northern 8i( seaward frumthe old toll-gate. But they d)- jected to the closing of any part of t';e per at any time to the public, and they objected to the widening landward on either side. They objected also to the erection of furlher kio.-ks for tradespeople. Mr E. P. Stephenson, cngineer and surveyor to the Urbr«n Council, and Mr Thorn.;s Parry, waterman, also gave evitibi.ce against the order. Mr A. E. Griffith (f- r Lord Most,yn), t'.e tho hirgor t landowner in-the neighbourhood; associated hints-ell with the objections put for- ward by Mr ( lease. Mr Thorntton Jones called attention to the Company's covenant not to sell any re- freshments on the pier in competition with the Grind Hotel, and not to any further shops The Grand Hotel Company cbjec'ed to the closing of the pavilwi portion 01 the pier, which -would injure their restaurant, and they objected to the erection of It Theatre fifaward of the hotel, as that would obstnkt their view. Mr Fitzgerald, in replying, that pc was now instructed to ask for a seaward widening of the pier by 15 feet on either side, as they were desirous of meeting their opponents they would be willing to. ccoe-pt a diminished "widening at the landward end. They proposed to obviate the closing of the pavilion portion Off the pier by putting up a new toll-gate for the "twopenny" public and a temporary barrier during prohibited hours. The barrier would be removed immediately the pavilion concerts were over, and the access to the hotel restaurant ,oul<1 thênhe as open as lx>fo-rø. The inquiry then closed.

1AFK NOT TO BE EXPERIMENTED WTTII. At tho Chairman'e eraggetition, Dr. Eraser, ait iihis point, tuibfluav-tesi his reipotrt wkii regard to the pxiaouoe cKiioii^g public schools in the d.s- trxit on certain occasion^, a matter to which Mr Edward Wilbanw had called auenuon at lihe preview Couueal meeit-irig. The Medical Officer of Health eta-ted there had been no variation cf the pinctico adopted by^hiir: since 1893, in tho carrying out of whic.h the Coun- cil had hitherto rendered him every aesit«uice. He had been Warned many times by vajioui, indivi-dbals for acting as he had done, but. V,38 not a. thing to experiment with, for once it wan lost it was beyond recall. In the cc-wte of his period of work under tho Council he had received hundreds of letters by poet from people in influential positions rekiung to outbreaks, oi dieeaie, and he had frequently fofund such coait- municaitions of eoino to Inm in performing his duitice. He feLt it his duty to act promii>tiy when he thought there was. danger to liic. 'H18 Tjocal Government Board emphafiited the import- ance of the aiVB'itilaneo which the medical officer oi h-calih could Obtain from echuohinaatcre and attond'ance offioe,r, the persons who knew all the 'vhG/ui children, and should be particularly wch inifoianed • as to the physique of tho scholars. He had not hesitated in ordering the c!c«irc o. ochcolli when otutbreiaka of d;t?ease had been rc. ported by i-juoh rcnpoiu-ible officials. He wuj- very gorrv to learn that the Education C^uniinittee (A tilie co-unity had decided to tako froim the i-chooimisotcr the right to report directly to the medical oftkw of heaith outbreak, of dieearc acnongst fehool children. He tho-ught, t'he mittoo we,re tlhus t^i-kni^ raqj t;ll-c ri.ght II ;1:uJanit froun the teachers (hear, hear). He had just been through the sfae!«.<b for the riod between 1893 and 1907. and he founu tdiat durinig that period there had' been a con- •■fder-blc reduction in the number of cases of m- feot/'i-t; illncfS in ihie district.. In measJes, wheooing ec;ugh, scarlot fever, and diipmheria cases 'there had been a material improvement in the Oittna \1-6 very bettea- \ff in that respect tSiau England and W aiet? fifs a whole. He 'vrae> preparing a report for tihe Local Govcrn- JLnfc Board on tJie question with, a view to obtaining the Board's views thereupon, and he wou'd be. glad to send the Council a copy t-hat report'fnoar, hca.;). "White I occupy any •notation," said Dr, i raiser, in oonciusiion, 1 g. aii carry out the poboy 1 have agreed to or eo Jcinig a ttin'O, and I you "vs xii help me to do so." Mr W. F.

It was an im- portant thing that children should not lose then school ing, a* was now Sometimes" the case, for periods of a month or six weeks (aralit frojn ihe;.r ordinary holidays) every jerar. By liie time a child raached the age of fourteen years he wouxi kse a big thee of vaiuc-ble time. Mr Ed ward Williamp said he fdt that, a.s long as children were permitted by their parents to mix and with one another_at the very period when echools were eloted in ccncequenee of disease, the children ought to be in school be- cause he thought they would be in less danger from coniamination in t'hoe schools t.han out d them. A nutblic body might be doing its- duty, bu:t. eo long parerrts exeroieed ca.reieeBnes.s under such circujmE'tanocis he thoughit a Council s good offices were of little value. The Chairman remarked that tihe present win- ter had been marked by an ext.iacrdenary amount of indisipoaition, and schools had been eicGed mere frequently in ooneequence. But for that fiini it was qui^te possible that that matter would not have co9»c under their ctonsideration. Dr. Fi:ia-er I'.w.ed tSuat, with regard to Mr Ediward William*' contention, it was quite a different tiling for children to mix up with one another in the open-air to doing so in the heavy atmonhere of a cksed-up schoolroom. More- over when tlhey compelled children to go to school under such cKCimistan-reK a public authority accepted the responsibil'i'ty for whatever danger accrued tuiore-frotm (hear, hear). Mr Aneurin Jones said he thought Dr. Frafer's rer>ort. a. verv satit-lffectory one, for he personally believed that wh< re there vreis any danger to Y-uino- life thev were justified in clceing the mWs. IWvveveir, if Dr. Fra ,r could see hi", wa.v veit a dL-tnct wtnore all outbreak was rrinorted within a re-aronable time after the receipt cf a. schoo'.im,aster's report, and th-ue e«b- sta-ntiate ihe evidence adduced, the diflieuiky womld be »unmoun-ted.

Mr Aneurin Jones aid it was pca-ible that Dr. Eraser had made his vi-siit en a fine day, but it was a. fact that not only did tho Buidi pass into the river during wet weather, but the water in the river itself was sometimes so high that it reeehed the tip. The Chairman: If there is a nuisance what we m-uiji do ie to call upon the Colwyn Bay Council to abate it. Mr Aneurin Jones: But what is the use of your addressing the Colwyn Bay Council on the matter when they confront you with Dr. Eraser's j-eiport'/ | Dr. Frasor said he would inake another to t.he rpot during wet wca«ther and report again on the question.

UNIQUE EXHIBITION AT LLANDUDNO. The Schoolroom of the English Baptist Chapel at Llandudno presented quite a unique Oriental appearance to-day week, when an exhibition of curios and native work was held in connection with the Baptist Foreign Missionary Society. "ihe exhibition had boon arranged by a joint committee of the English and Welsh Baptist Ch-apeis, under the eueigetic secretaryship oi Mr WilJcouginhy Lance. Two of the stalls contained articles for sale, the Literature Stall, superintended by Miss C. Roberts (Arwendon), Miss J. Bevan (Brecon), Miss Davies, and Miss Edwa.rds, and the Stall of Curios and Indian superintend- ed by Miss R Griffith, Miss Owen, Mr A. Da vies, and Mr J. Williams. There were also a Palestine StaJl, in which wore exhibited articles lent- by Mr J. T. Hunter; a Chinese Stall, an Indian Stall, and an African Stall. A large number of the articles exhibited" on these stall- had been sent from the Baptist Mission House. London, and from friends. 'IViere was also a meo'ical section, where native surgical instru- ments and drugs wore exhibited. The stewards were Messrs J. T. Hunter, R. Williams, A. Davies A. D. T. Marks, A. Rich ardson, Howel Edwards, and Howel Griffiths. The Literature and Sale stall superintendents were attired in Indian costume, and the attend- ants in the refreshment department were attired in the garb of China, which, together with the elaborate decorations, gave the room quite on Oriental aspect. During the evening, dialogues were given, re- presenting a. Chinese missionary school, the chil- dren being attired i.n Chinese costumes. A short lecture on the curios was delivered by Mr Cotton. sccretarv of the. exhibition department cf the Baptist Missionary Society, and interesting papers were read by the Rev. David Davies on "Opium Smoking," and Mr A. D. T. Marks oil "India's Goùs." A number of ladies took ad- vantage of the comnntteee's invitation to inspect the curios during the afternoon. It. is interesting* to note that this unique exhi- bition is the first of its kind ever held in LJan- dudno. Great credit is due to Mr Lanco for the satisfactory manner in which the arrange- ments were carried out, and taking into con- sideration the fact. that, the committee only had three weeks in which to make the arrangements, the event proved an unqualified success.

Mr David Jones presided over the meeting of this Board on Friday. There were also pre- sent Rev. Canon Jones, Rev. E. J. Evans. RAey: Pi-iillip Jones, TIpv. John Raymond, Mrs Lloyd, Mrs Barrow Williams, Mrs Oldman, Miss Chamspncyp, Miss Lewis, Miss Williams, Miss A. Parry, Messrs Hugh Owen, S. R. Bart-ley, Ed. Williams, Wm. Dav.es. J. T. Taylor, A. J.

Jones, Robert Williams, David Jones (Llan), Owen (Gyffin), with the Assistant L'lerk (Mr J. Post), a.nd other officials. Mr Win. Du\iet; called attention to a minute relating to a. jesolurtion put by himself at previous meeting in regard to abating the much discussed fly nu.isame, ai!<-g. to be caused in consequence of the existence 01 a tip placed by the Conway Corporation oa a spot just outside the workhouse ground. Mr John Williams (a member of the Corpora- tion) The Corporation are quite pre-pared to do what they can to abate the nuisance, so there is no use in discussing this matter again (hear, hear). Mr Will. Davies: It is quite time tihey dia so (laughter). Tlie matter thereupon dropped. FINANCE. The Finance Committee reported there was a balance at the bank of It was decided to pay off the precepts cf the Carnarvonshire and 1 Mil hi ghSlhtJro County Coun- cils amuunting respectively to £2000 and £1000. AN ACKNOWLElXiMENT. A letter was read from Mr T. J. Jones, ot Dinarth Hall, gratefully acknowledging tho Board's expression of sympathy with his family on the death of his father (the late Mr John Jones). CODIFICATION OF THE LAW. A letter was read from the Poor Law Coni- mib-sioners inviting the Beard's opinion on t:.e question of codifying the law as to the settlc- nient of paupers. The Assistant Clerk pointed out that at pre- sent the law on that point had' been so aitercd by canee decided in the law courts that hardly anything of the original 'Act remained, and a clearer codification of the law would be of great advantage. On tine motion of Mr Taylor, seconded by Mr Wm. Williams, it was decided to reply to the Commissioners t > that effect. A SUGGESTION. While the Board were discussing an applica- tion for a girl's services. Mrs Oldman suggested; that tlie Board favour- I ably considered t'ne system of providing homes for workhouse girls without as well as within the Union. She proceeded to say that at one time she ha.d had a girl from a certain English Union in her own service, and as her associa- tion with tihe workhouse had not been disclosed, tho girl had been able to make her way in the world very successfully, but- had the facts been known she (Mrs OJdman) fe]t sure the old stigma would! lhavo had its bareíul influence over the girl's chances (hear, hear). It was pointed out that the Beard had al- ready "decided to deal first with applications from within the Union, but it wa.s understood that outside applications should bo afterwards considered. PUBLIC VACCINATORS' FEES. The comimittee appointed to consider the foes as suggested by tne Board under the 1907 order, to tne public vaccinators, recommended the fees be fixed by the Board as follows —Article A Is 8d' per ease under two miles from public vaccinators surgery; 2s bd per case over two miles fr\u pub.c vaccinator's surgery. Article B 213 bd per case at surgery 413 6d per case within two miles of surgery; 5s 6d over tv-o miles and under three nides; 7s od over three miles and under six mjj, 10s over six mbes; and 2s per ease for all cases after the first at the same house within 24 hours. Article C: 2s 6d por case. Letters were now read from Drs. T. L. K. Davies (Llandudno), R. Arthur Prichard lCon- way), and Price Morris (Old Colwyn), the pub- lic'vaccinators.. agreeing tp accept these terms subject to on increase of the caarge for ca^s "Within two miles of the surgery from 4s bd, as suggested by the committee, to os per Mr A. J. Olcunau, in moving toile continuation of the committee's report, remarked t.hat the committee had given the several items their fuh- e-t consideration, and h« behoved that the officers had been very fairly met. Mr W F. Jones said that for the sake ot the fx, which was the subject of the difference, ne thought the Board should agree to the officers offer and he moved they do t'at. Mrs Llovd seconded. Mr J. T. Tayibr said that vvlien tne Local Government Board had been asked_to fix fees in such cases thev had invariably fixed them on ■i lower scale than the committee now recom- mended. After the e mmit-tee had devotee eo much of their time in arriving at such a. deci- sion Œle thought the should accept their finding (hear, hearj. Mr McC'lcnient, who also su-^orted the mittee's report-, suggested that the doctors be invited to abide by the decision of the Local Government Board, unless they accepted the committee's offer. Mr Eo'ward Jones pointed out that the com- mittee had raised the fees in certain instances in order to meet the doctors' terms. Tiue Rev. E. J. Evans remarked that. the increase the decors required dealt with the majority of the cases which they would have to attend to, because most of their patients would reside within the two radius. Mr Wm. Davies: I believe frcan what I hear now that MnJ Llovd has seconded Mr W. F. Jones' amendment while uiK.'er a misapprehen- sion. The Cfnairman: Do you adhere to your deci- sion, Mrs Mra Lloyd: Oh. it docs not matter. This won't carry (laughter). Mr Bartley said he would be glad to second in the place of Mrs Lloyd if necessary. 0:1 a divison, thè C-0IUDliU«,'e's recommenda- tion was adopted bv a large majority. THE 'ESTIMATE. Tho Finance Committee reported that the clerk hod "estimated the common charges at 5ld in the £ whicfi he was of opilJio11 w'JlUJd suffice, this sum bern"- id less than the corres- ponding half of last year that he had provided -for the oounty rata at the same rate as. last half-war, viz.:—Denbighshire parishes at lid in 1,:1e and Carnarvonshire at 8cl in the £ with special levied under Sec. 13 (1) (D.) of the Edu- oation Act." The committee recommended that tihis esti- mate be approved and adoiptea', subject to the county rate being- adjusted, if tho clerk found that it would be necessary to do so. Mr 0. W. Roberts, in moving the adoption ot the recommendation, remarked that the esti- mate was a very satisfactory one, showing- a .eduction of id in the £ as compared with the corresponding period of tihe past year (hear, hear). Mr W. F. Jones pointed out that the Board iiad a very large floating balance at the bank, and he thoutght thev could well reduce the sum to 5d in the He moved an amendment to that effect.. Mr Oldmam replied that all the floats bal- anco would l necessary to meet the calls be- fore tho half-year was out. Mr McClement seconded the amendment, but. after a short discussion tihe committee's recom- mendation was adopted' by twelve votes to nine. CLASSIFICATION SCHEME AGAIN DISCUSSED. Mr McClement revived the question discussed a.t great length at a previous meetinp with refere-nce to the adoption of a classification scheme in deailing with the distribution of relie- amongst outdoor paupers. In accordance^ witih notice he ftow moved' that in &e- | cordance with Standing Order No. 21 that the resolution passed at the meeting ol the Board held on the 3rd' day of January last, refusing to adapt the leccinmeudation of the classifies tion committee, be rescinded. Further, he moved that the classification scheme, as r.resented by the committee, be reconsidered, with a view too its being referred back to the committee with any suggestions for improve- ment that t.he B ard may make, or to be amended and adc.qited by the B ard." He now contended that the Board had decided on the pj-evious occasion, without giving the matter adequate attention. I quoted, figures showing the difference between the amount of reliot given by the three relief committees, and urged that there should be uniform E!!OV, aiices all round. "The great drawback." added line speaker, "with the suffragettes is that they are too much inclined to be guided by their emotions and sentiments—(laughter).—and I warn you here to-day not, to be governed by the same spirit or you will be classed with the sufFrrifroties (loud laughter). I appeal to your reasons" (hear, hear). Mr Taylor, in seo"mdinp. said he thought it unfair thero should be env possibifity that Col- wyn Bay for instance shculd be compelled to contribute towards excessive rclic-f granted at Llandudno. Mr Wm. WJRiame strongly objected to the suggestion, and. pointed out that ro B ard throughout Wales Shad acibpted a clapsiiication scheme, while no evidence had Ijeen forrh<o<m- ing that th", existing system had faded. Messrs William Davies and W. F. Jones con- tinued the debate. Mr McClement s motion was eventually de- feated boY 16 vobee to 10.
