RHYL AMPHITHEATRE. LICENCE FOR MUS!C AND DANCING GRANTED. On Tuesday a special sitting of the Rhyl magis- trates was held for the purpose of considering an application by Mr S. Warhurst for a music and danc- ing licence for the new amphitheatre. Dr A. Eyton Lloyd presided, and there were also present Mr W. Elwy Wiliiame, Dr Moreton Prichard, Mr R. M. Hugh Jones, Mr Jacob Jones, Mr Thos. Jones, Mr Hazle- Imrbt, Mr John Williams, and Mr Thos. Hughes. Mr Joseph Lloyd, for Mr Warhurt, said that the facts were well known to the Bench, and he did not think it was necessary to go into the history of matter. He would point out that under the Act f.'f Parliament which gave the magistrates absolute power to grant or refuse such a licence the points to be considered were as to the character of the applicant, the suitability of the building from a public and orderly point of view, and the means of egress. lie pointed out that the Bench had nothing to do with the beauty or ugliness of the building, and he asked the magistrates, even though they were pos- sessed of the powers of a giant, not to use them as nuch. There seemed to be an impression abroad that Mr Warhurst was defying the authorities, and that wsvs not so. jir Warhurst was anxious to erect the permanent building as soon aS he could get the necessarv capital, and from the point of view of his own' pocket, he was anxious to get the whole thing completed, and he hoped to be able to do so shortly. The Office ot Woods n'id Forests had krivcn him permission to erect in front of the amphi- theatre a temporary building which would greatly add to the appearance of the placg, and he (Mr Lloyd) ailked for the licence'. Mr Warhurst had appeared before the Council, and he had had his plans passed, giving an undertaking that by the end (,f October lie would pull down the temporary fivntage, and if he did not carry out more permanent works then the Bench would be in the same posi- tion as to the refusing the licence next year as they were to-day. They would be masters of the situa- tion. Mr J. H. Ellis said the Council wished to help Mr Warhurst and tliev had agreed to pass the plans sub- ject. to the removal of the frontage at the end of ^Tli^Town Clerk confirmed this, and said that the Council and Mr Warhurst were now working well to- gether. After considering the plans and making certain suggestions as to the sanitary arrangements the Bench decided to grant the licence until July 14th Ulie ordinary court day), upon the understanding that the licence diu not operate until the work is com- pleted. and that the frontage comes down at the end of October.
