1" IIOLYWELL l RURAL COUNCIL. < PROTEST AGAINST COUNTY EXPENDITURE. !At Friday afternoon's meeting of the Holy- fwell Rural Council Mrs Batters referred to a remark made at the meeting of the Flintshire Education Committee on Wednesday week by Dr. (Williams (Flint) to the effect, there was a great- deal of "cheap talk" regarding expenditure by members of other authorities. There had been a great deal of talk on this subject, but she did not consider it "cheap" talk, but very expensive talk for the ratepayers, and she did not think the matter should be passed unnoticed. Mr J. Petrie said he protested lately against the plans for a certain new school Hi this neigh- bourhood. At the meeting of the Education Commiuce it was stated that the District. Coun- cil were not able to specify their objections to "the plans, but he contended he had done so. As a minor authority, he contended, thi.i Council a. minor authority, he contended, th1.1 Council represented the ratepayers just as much as the County Council. If the County Council was getting beyond fair criticism things had come to 4k pretty pass. t The Clerk stated he wrote to the education authority stating their objection to the plans for this school (Greenfield) was their elaboration and 4Dutside ornamentation. 'Mr J. Prince (chairman of the Board- of Cuardians) asked to be allowed to say a word, though not a member of the Council. He said they must admit that the County Council was the supreme authority, and this Council was a sub- ordinate one. The County Council was in tho position of the centurion in the Gospel (laughter). They ordered them to do certain things, and they ij ,did them. The County Council made a precept Jipon them as Guardians, and as the subordinate Authority they had always collected the money from time to time. If they were not allowed to criticise the growth of the rates, then they might irefuse to collect them (hear, hear). Mr Humphreys: I may tell you this—we are Dot going to be dumb. We are going to ring the bell still louder oyer these rates. j v Mr H. Powell (Bagiltt) said the County Coun- cil were spending money wholesale to make the i main road* like billiard tables for pleasure-seek- ing motorists.
