ANTIQUARIANS AT LLANRWST. VANDALISM AT CONWAY. A joint excursion of the Abergele and Nant Conwa.y Antiquarian Asaoomtiona -ind the Llan- dudno Fiekl Club was arranged on Saturday, to the Maenan district of Llanrwst. The weather wais delight.ful. a clear atmosphere affording a good view of the Conway valley and the distant heights of Carnarvonshire and Merioneth. Mr K. E. forest, of t.he SaJop Field Club.and autlior of "The Fauna of North Wakw, was to have let! the party, but unfortunately he was laid uri with influenza- His place was "taken by Mr H. B- Ilalhed, who. although somewliar advanced in years, was alert, and active, thus making an ideal guide. The first plaoe of call was Maenan Farm, a comparatively modern building where one re- gretted to observe that the few bits of the older work bearing- the date 1582 on tho beautiful plas- ter work had been mixed up with the new. Mr Halited gave a short account of the foundation of the abbey by the Monks of Aberoonwv, who removed to Maen.xn with their valuables for greater safety in the year 1289, the removal taking piaee under a charter granted by the POIX" Nicholas to Edward J. T1K? Abbots enjoved greater privileges and wielded considerable sway- in the district until the dissolution under HMirv VIII. The original founder of the Abbey at Aoorüollwy was Llewelyn ap lorwerth, who was buried there, his remains being removed to Maenan by the Monks in a aareophagus of stone. After the dissolution of the monastery this and otiter relics were, token to Llanrwsit Church, where they are still to be seen- THE LAST ABBOT waa Richard Kyffin, who boo a pension granted him of £20 a year. The abbey was granted in the fifth year of Queen Eli»al>eth'<i reign to Eli- xeua Wynne, in the possession of wliose descen- dant the Ixwxl Now bo rough it is still- The steep hill was then climbed in the direction of Maenan Post Office, and having reached the summit Mr Hallied pointed out Hie remain* of art ancient British stronghold which must have been of great strength. The rugged Silurian strata protrude in steep broken precipices most difficult of access: on the east and west sides, and these had been further strengthened by rude dry masonry. The site appears to have contained three forts, the most perfect being thar to the north, a rectan- gular enclosure with ail its sides st.m remaining, measuring some 15 yards across. There are eev-eral traces of hut circles aiso formed of the huge bouldera which were evidently close at hand. The high position of the fortress makoe it clear that it was one of a large number whio.lt are seeti on other hill tops itsed as plaoes of re- fuge during the fierce onslaughts of tlw tribes in their feuds. BRITISH CAMP ON CONWAY MOUNTAIN. Mr W, Bezant Lowe, of Llanfairfechan, a mem- ber of the Executive of the Llandudno Club, referred to the "worton destructor" of t.he cient Brit-iflsh camp on the summit of Conway mountain by troops stationed on the Morfa some time ago, and it was resolved that tlie three so- cities should, through their respective secre- taries, ctdl tite attetttion of the Conway Corpo- ration to the matter, and requesting them to take the necesaary &tJI6 to prevent any further damage. Mr T- A ITumplireys. I^la-ndudno. proposed a very lmrty vote of tJlImks to Mr Halhed for his kindness in conducting t.he party. Mr J. n. Ellb. Aoorg1e. secondad the resolu- tion, which was carried. Speaking aubaequently at the King's Head, IdiUirw»t' where tea had been prepa-red for tho party. Dr. Jones, of Hnar, rfrrJ to the gtwxJ work don bv the Nant Conwy Society in the past- Lately, he said, they h-ad bean in a quiescent state, but he hoped the presence of the visitors that day would be for tlte benefit of the society* and that they would go on with even greater vigour thall before in their practicably inexhaustible lield of research. AN INTERESTING DESCRIPTION. Mr G. A. Humphreys, of Llandudno, con- tributes the following deserifition of Gaer 0!ou:— It appears to have been a strongly forti- field hill camp, intended as a place of resort in an emergency, but not M a. place of habitation. There the in" habitants of the betook themselves with their families, and their when attacked by enemies- Owing to its elevation, bleakness, email size, absence of water, and general un- suitabilitv, it con hi not have been intended for protracted occupation, but it would be an exceed- ingly okrotig position, and one defended in C4.se,s of sudden raids. Caer O'eu may be more correctly termed a hill-fort. Its linei are determined by the shajie of the summit of tho hill on which it is placed, and the area enclosed is about I2 acres in extent. In primitive war- fare this position must have been almost im- pregnable. The fort appears to have been divided into three pArt. a northerly, middle, and southerly. These are in steps up from south 10 middle, and middle to north, and are divided the one from the other by natural defences strengthened by stone walls. Similar defences surround the fort. The east side is especially strong owing to the roek face being nearly vertical and many yards in depth, while im- mediately below is an in»}>crtant escarpment- Owing to the rock face along this side there was not the same neessity for artificial work like that seen elsewhere. On the west side neither the scarp nor the natural rocks would give ihe requisite protection, and therefore all the weak i>oints between and along the tops of the rocks are strengthened by walling. In some places there are signs of double walls or valla. The ramparts are chiefly of sione. this being easdr obtainable in the fort itself without going down the slopes. Owing to the rocky surface it would be impossible to sink many pit dwellings, but there a|>pear to'bo indications of a few on the N.W- -;idof the middle camp. In the northerly {>ortion there are the remains of a !arge amount of walling in the ramparts, in small circles—which might be the remains of pit dwellings and in one large enclosure rough- ly oval in plan and measuring aj^uoximate'y 20 vard; by 14 yards, I am inclined to think there was an entrance to the fort at the north end, and that the circular erections formed part of the scheme for guarding it. It woukl be qlflt;> consistent with what has been been found in the other hill-forts for the ramparts ar. an entrance to be increased in height, IInd nI,o thrown buek- wards so to form a le-entram angle and sec-u.-e a cross fire. Thw accoullt for the accumulation of stones. II would be mail instructive work to carefully examine- this positon with a view to tracing tho lines cf the defences and to ascertain deliniteh- I whether there wa-s a north entrance. The entrance to the fort pointed out. by Mr Halhsd is on the west side, up the west scarp and laads into the middle quarters. It would be de-fended bv cross-fire from the west ramparts of the southerly and middle portions of the fort, wh, it ur the actual gateway, ate the remains of wall- ing which must have given strength to this entrance. Near.the centre of the fort, in middle division, is place known locally 'Beddau SoWiers ("The Sddi«rs' amouHt. of inquiry <:ou4 elicit any iBt'ormaUorr with regard to these. It would be mUleadmg to Atfmpt MUf datims «< workj ias^ot«d. Mr Halhed, I think, hazarded tho opinion that it tnight be between B.C. 100 and A.D. 100. They may be earlier or later. There is only ono way of dating an earthwork, and that is by ex- cavating, trenching, and examining the objects brought to light. Thi.j do-as not appear to have been done at Caer Olau, and, thorefora, we must rfMnain ihe dark unless the local societies in. terested will undert-ake the work. The arrangements made for the day, adds Mr Humphreys, had been well thought out by Mr W. R. Brookes, the excursion secretary of the Llandudno Field (Mull, and Mr EH is, the secre- tary of the Abergele Association, while tho success of the excursion proved that the different societies might meet at intervals with advantage to ail.

LLANDUDNO CH F. S. BRANCH. THE THIRTEENTH ANNUAL REPORT. AN APPEAL ON BEHALF OF THE IN- VESTMENT FUND. Tho annual meeting of the Llandudno branch of the Friendly Society was held at the G.t'-S. Lodge, on Monday afternoon, when, in t.he absence of the Rector, the Rev. W. E. Jones presided over a good attendance, including the Hon. Louisa Douglas-Pennanr, president of the lodge, and the Hon. Mrs Henry lIoyd Mosrtyn. Tho Chairman said that, it was a groat p'oasure to see so many friends of the G.F.S. present, and h-s felt sure that when they cam^ to the busi- ness part of the agenda, they would laid thar the branch wa» not only making steady progress, but was in a flourishing condition. Their congratu- lations were duo to the Hon. Mrs llenrv Lloyd Mostvn for her work as treasurer of the branch. Her work was evident on every hand, and needed no explaining. They had also to congratulate Miss Champneys, secretary to the Society, and tho lady members of the committee, who always enthusiastic in their work. Referring to the work of the Society, he i>oiiHod out that it was a work done hi who had the w1.fa1'o of other ;>eoo, at heart. People thought that tiie Lodge was simply a hotue of refuge for mem- bers of the Society. It was that, but it was aiso the centre for all the work which was done in the neighbourhood. ANNUAL REPORT. The Hon Mra Henry Lloyd Ma-ivn, in pre- senting the thirteenth annual report of the com- mittee, stated that the membership had consider- ably increased during the year, namely, from 311 to 353—(hear, hcar),-the new members coming from Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Wol- verhampton, Bury, St. Helens, Derby, and the Potteries, and amongst them were school teach- ers (some of whom spent every holiday last year in the Lodge), nurses, and girls employed in business, factories, and domestic services: and they had also been giad to welcome amongst, the associates and non-ase.oci.ates ladies who had no homes, with limited means. Mrs Waódy had proved an excellent manageress, and wac; full of ardour in her work, into which she threw hor- fiiif, heart and soul, and in the true G.F.S. spirit. Mrs Waddv was away cn a short holiday, Miss Riley, an associate belonging to tho Fulham branch took charge of the Lodge- During the winter months, at the weekly classes, musical drills were given by Miss Bennett, and the musical evenings were arranged by the M isses Marsden and Miss Owen. A lecture had been gjvn on one occasion by the Rector on "Churches," and en another occasion he had de- livered an address. A cookery demonstration had been given by Miss Waddy, a lecture by Miss Bamford, an address by the Rev. Morgan Jones, whi'e a devotional meeting, held by the HdV. Morgan Jones, concluded the winter's work. Some evenings had Veen spent in sewing, and a "sowing bee" had bfxn lJd. The committee wished to express their deep gratitude to the ladies who had provided there very <-njayab'e and instructive evenings, and ako to the Rector for the quarter's' services at George's Church- A spocial meeting for members hud been held during the previous wrek, and the Diocesan Council had born held in the Lodge on the 14th inst., when many of the ladies who availed them- selves of the opportunity to inspect the house, expressed themselves much pleased with the arrangements and building. Their Shrove Tues- day sa'c had been a great success, realising tiie sum of £80 16s 2d, Mrs Wilson having paid an the expenses in connection with the Town HajJ. The concert arranged by Mrs Eakin, held in the Town Hall, on February 19th, realised the sum of £29 19r> 3d, towards the reduction of the mort- gage. They wished to offer Mrs Llewelyn R. Hughes, Rectory, who had been obliged to re- sign her position en the committee, their best thanks for her valuable services in the past- They had al-vo lost by death a subscriber in the late Dr. Ruccohen, who had proved a kind friend since the first Lodge was started. In the Sun- day Bible Classes 387 attendances had been registered since October, an average of 17 per class. The mortgage on th? branch property had been reduced by J3150, and now stood at £1450. 1t. was 1St ill in the same hands, and would re- main so for a period of ten years and they were muc-h indebted to the mortgagee for this arrange- ment. The sum of £62 3s (a considerable draw upon their resourcea) had been spent on outside painting, new water pipe, repairs etc., and their balance, was consequently smaller lhan hitherto. The sinking fund had also been raided to pay off some of the mortgage, but they hoped to see it started again during the year. Once again they thanked all who had helped to make the year a Sl1!tX)S8ful "11:>0 (applause). THE BALANCE SHEET. The Hon. Treasurer also read the sheet for the year, which showed thai the Lodge had commenced the year with a balance in hand of JS41 5s 6d, which had been increased by the year's receipts to £324 178 4d. The expenditure amounted to £305 12s lid, thus leaving a balance in hand of £18 18 lid. The sum of J6122 Os 3d had been transferred from the sinking fund 1O the general fund, which absorbed the whole of the sinking fund- Mrs Martin Wilson moved the adoption of the annual report and balance sheet, and Mr J. Adey Wei lit having seconded, this was carried unanimously. RE-ELECTION OF OFFICERS. On the motion of the Rev. E. I.nmley, B.A-, the officers and members of the committee were re-elected as follows:—Hon. Mrs II, Lloyd Mos- tyn, lion, treasurer; Miss Champnevs, hon. secre- tary; Mrs Piatt, Mrs Eakiii, Miss Edith Hind'e, and Miss Wright. THE INVESTMENT SCHEME. The Hon. L-ouisa Douglas-Pennant congratu- lat-etl the committee upon possessing such an ideal J ooge. G.F.S. homes had a two-fold objed, and this one fulfilled its object, both as a centre of work and a a holiday resort. Proceeding to deal with a scheme proposed by the Central Council, the speaker explained that the Council intended that special efforts should be made to obtain the um of £20,000 from the various branches throughout England and Wales, the money to be invested, and the interest was to be devoted to tll", Lodges. Already £10,000 had be-en oontábuted. almost entirely by members. Referring to local contributions, Miss Douglas- Pennant said that the Bangor branch were called upon to contribute ,£200, out of whicn £155 had already been subscribed, and as the time was not yet up, they hoped to complete the sum (hoar, liear). Some branches had done very well, oon- tributling considerab'y more than their share, whilst others had not contributed a.t all. On the whole, North Wales, however, had done very well. The Llandudno branch, acoordmg to tt, proportion, should contribute £29; out of that, sum JB15 had been received, and she appealed to t.henj. to try and make up their share (ap- }l1&U&t'). On the motion of Colonel the Hon. H. Lloyd Mostvn, thanks were accorded the Chairman for presiding- At the cloae of the meeting, tlwse present were entertained to tea-

THE WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE SOCIETY. MEETING AT CONWAY. SPEECHES BY MISS SPENCEli AND MISS WALTON EVANS- V:H,der the auspioos of the Llw •Judno branch of tho Women's Suffrage Society, a meeting was held at the A hereon way Temperanco Hotel, Conway, yesterday (W«dne»day) afternoon. Coun- cillor Ralph Fisher presiding- Amongst those present were: Mrs and Mias Eakin, Mrs Wright, Wright, Mrs St. Leger, Miss Champneys. li, Git-tings, Hutchinson, Miss Mildred S;>encer, Dr. Guest. Miss Best, Miss Rhodes, Miss Annie Harkor, Mrs Goodey. Miss Walton Evans (St- Asaph), Mr W. M. Sever (Nant-jwed). Miss A. Bamford- Miss Craig, and others. Tho Chairman said the Llandudno branch of the Women's Suffrage Society did not attach it- self to any particular political party, and they were now determined to engage upon missionary enterprise, with the object of forming a branch in Conway- The present Government was com- posed of men who had for years been in favour of the suffrage for women, but he felt that rhey could not. without a direct mandate from the I>eopk>. bring about such a great electoral rø- form. The qUPNtÙm was, "What would bo tho general effect if this reform took plaoe as far as the public are concerned?" There was no rea- son why women Should be debarred from this great political right. Parliament was becoming more and more a machine for social reforms, and lie would welcome the advent of women into their political life, as he believed it would bring more sympathy to bear ú!1 tlw. important questions which would scon arise before Parlia- ment- He would we'eome the introduction of more sentiment into their political life, and for that reason he was in favour of v,omen's suffrage (applause.). THE AIMS OF THE SOCIETY. ti Mildred Spencer said that during the last few weeks something ha-d happened which ought to be a source of great, encouragement to sup- porters of women's suffrage in North Wales- 8h meant that tho Women's National Anti- Suffrage I/eagu-e had been extended to the Princi- pality, and that a public meeting in its support was held at lihyl the other day. This .showed that thø suffrage move-merit was '-alive" in the district, and that it was worth fighting (hoor, iiear). It was a good thing to have people thinking about thoothings, because indifference and apathy were amongst the hardest things they had to fight- Ixjgic, argument, and fact, the soeaker added, were all on s de. She had read an account of the meeting <: t Rhyl, and was not impressed by the samples of reasoning there It was very unfortunate on the part of one speaker to quote Queen Vic- toria's remark, women, are not made for government, and if we are good women we must dislike these masculine occupations;" but every loyal Englishman and Woman must agree that Queen Victoria made an exce'lent ruler, and made her influence felt not only in this country, but in every corner of the Empire (applause). Another speaker at the same .meeting had stated that aristocracy of intellect had always been against women's suffrage,—every statesman from Moses down to Lord Cromer, every poet from Milton down to Tennyson, every scientist, from Harvey to Lord Lister, and every theologian from Paul down to John Knox" (laughter). At first sight iliis seems very terrib'e if all this elúud of witnesses were against them. Proceed- ing to deal with these .different sections of "ihe aristocracy of intellect," Mis?. Spencer referred very feelingly to the lamented death of George Meredith, who had supported the women's cause for fifty years- With regard to statesmen, the Rhyl speaker evidently had not heard of John Stuart Mill, and his pamph'et on "Thc subjec- tion of women." Tlse speaker wa, both wrong and unkind in this part of his speech in view of the attitude taken by leaders of the present Government, and Mr Balfour and other men on the Front Opposition Bench. As to the scientists tho Rhyl speaker was apparently ignorant of the existence of Sir Oliver Lodge, and his speeches in, favour of women's suffrage. Regarding the theologians, the gentleman was equally unaware of the views of eminent theo'ogian? of the twen- tieth century, like the Rev. H. J. Campbell, ('anon Stoit Holland, and many others. If the Rhyl speech wai a specimen of the arguments of those who opposed women's suffrage, then its supporters had little to fear (hear. hear). Miss Speneer next criticised Mr Frederick Harrison's arguments against the suffrage in his book, '■Realities and Id3a1;¡," ('onc-'ud ng. Miss Spen- cer asked what good would come of granting the vote to women? In the first place, she .aid: "Gcml always resulted from the doing of jus- t-ice" OKar, hear). It wou'd learl to an improve- ment in ihe status of wc-men, and to an economic and moral improvement, (app'ause). SPEECH BY MISS WALTON EVANS, iss Walton Evans. St. Asaph, said that wo- men were agitating for the vote on the same terms as it. is granted to men, became they were entitled to it, as they fulfii'ed the necessary con- ditions embodied in tiie Registration Acts of this country- They pa;d rates and taxes, and they were sane, well-behaved, as capable of forming an intelligent opinion en public affairs as men, and should, therefore, be given a constitutional method of expressim; that opinion. A woman should not be refmed a vote- simply bceause she was a woman. They wanted the vote became it would help to improve many terrible condi- tions under which their less fortunate sisters had to labour in the large towns. She referred to the sweating cf women in workshops and fac- tories. No one, she imagined, really thought that women went. out to earn their livings for the fun of the thing, and the days were goriie by when a man considered it his duty to provide a home for bis maiden aunts and old- maid <Bi.sters- There were at th present tima 1¡ million more women than men in the British Islets who had to work for a living. What did they get. from this work? Tiie cotton trade was Maid to be tho best paid- There, the average wage of women wa., 14s week. In the pot- teries, their wages were from 8 to 12s per week, 1.4it where tiie same work was done by men, it was paid the of Irom 2Ó3 to 30s per week. In every branch of work except three, tiie worasn had to accept from one-third to one- half wages tiuui tine men, for exactly the same work- Titfre were thousands of women who worked at more or less sklMed trades who could not to earn titan 7s to 12 per week. In concluding, Miss referred to the number of men who realised that the women's cause their c-:ii!se, aad yet stood aside and took no part In the strugg'e, either from feedings of indifference or fear of ridicule- All the more hcnour (hen, she said, to the men who came forward boldly to help them in their struggle. She 1Ii!so appea'ed to the women who had not yet. joined a suffrage eociefy, to do so for sake of their less* fortnnate i lMers, if not for the sake of themeelves (applause'. Mr I). J.

MERIONETHSHIRE ASSIZES. IMMUNITY FROM CRIME, The Merionethshire Summer Asv/.es were held on Tuesday at Dolge-iioy, before Mr Juetioe Buck- ttiM- His Lordship, in -addressing the Grand Jury, sakl the Chief Constable had supplied him with figur-es which were most interesting, because they showed how proud they ought to be of the im- munity of the county from ind'ctabl-e offence. Front'1899 down to that day, talcing all assizes, quarter e3SiolØ!. and the grouped assizes together, the number of penon broaght up came only to 50- Out of a ]K>puiatiori of 49,000 it was a remark- able fact that onry 60 cases had been tried dur- ing 10 years- Prooe-eding, his Lordship remarked that, when there was little to do at somn, assise thero was a groat deal of trouble, and conse- quently a great deal of expense. There might be some in the county who grumbled at that state of things, but personally he WH more in favour of the present arrangement, than to lose all that custom which required that judges at certain in- tervals should admin.ster justee at the door of the I)oOOJI!. The Grand Jury, on their return to court, handed his lorcuhip the following resolution:— as members < f the Grand Jury, are unani- mously of opinion that it is very desirable that, as hitherto, Wl should have the advantage of see- ing his Majesty's judges of assize visiting the county town, and entirely agree with his lord- ship." Hi;; Lordship thankel the Grand Jury, and said the resolution would be forwarded to the Lord Chief Justice- ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Roli-ert Davies, 46, labourer, pleaded not guilty to oil charge of attempting to commit suicide at the Towyn Police Statu,11 on April 10th. The jury returned a verdct- of guilty. Tho Jtuig* atMr^sinsf the prisoner, wished to impress upon him the wickedness of his act- lie was going to release him without any limitations, and hoped he would become a respectable member of the community.

A el-reified all-round improvement was noticoab!} in the May-Day festivities held yesterday (Wod- nesdav) at Llanfairfechaa. under the auspices of the Town Improvement Association. Much more public interest was evinced in the various ev ents, which weNskil£ully 1llII,n¡tg'0d, and that essential factor, the weather, proved propitious- The May Queen was Mi.:s .Joan North, daughter of a popu- lar resident- and surroundod by her Train Bear- ers and Maids of Honour, ail wearing dresses designed by Mr lI. L. North, and worked by members of the Ladies' Committac, she pre-, sen ted a mo?t charming figure- j The procession was heatied by the band of the "Clio" In-ilustrial Training Ship, and then came a number of smart boys from the National School forming an escort to the May Queen, the sergeants being Masters Robert J. Evans and John Da vies. The May Queen and her retinue were borne in state in a motor car, kindly lent by Mr H. I,. North, ami the Maids of Honour (twenty in number) were alao in car- riages.

Wat kin 'Da vies, M.A.), as Heraid in Chief, said t'hey were assembled to do honour to their Queen. The lady who was to perform the crowning ceremony was the wife of a great athlete, i.n his day one of England's greatest runners. He reminded them that- the successful race of his life was the race that he ran after his wife; he caught her, and has been happy ever since- As the hoary heraid of this ephemeral and august, be should say May, assembly, he gave expression on tnotr fc-enait and in the pre .once of the Queen-e!eot to the hope that the reign, as Queen of M»y-day land, might never be forgotten- "Arid ail cf you, little human blossoms." proceeded the Roeior, "with your bright and smiling faces, your fresh voices and nimble feet, remember what this May-day visit to the Court of the May Queen teaches you and us too. It teaches us that as loyal subjects of Iler Majesty Queen Joan, we mugt. do our best to grow May flowers and fruits in our natures. You can all be nice and good boys and girls- These aro the May flow- ers that make the world beautiful, and it shall be lovelier still." The crowning ceremony wes gracefully 1 er- formed by Mrs Jordan. TaRyckiarwen, and after bouquets and boxes of chocolates, with other gifts, had been presented to the May Queen, 24 girls from the Council School, who had been trained by Miss N. Williams, executed the May- pole da no? amkl great cheering. Then a number of girls from the National School, who had been trained by Mi, Owen (who was also responsible for tbs tuition of the Makis of Honour), sang with much sweetness Welsh aim. The audience heartily applauded a drd.1 by 42 boys from the National School- Under the direction of Mr Timmins the boys went, through a number of pretty evolution; with soldier-like precision Hd without a single hi. Though not included in tho programme the cake walk and sailor's horn- pipe dance given by the "Clio" boys proved jpne of ihe features of the afternoon's festivities, land they were rewarded with quite an ovation. A; stirring selection by the "Clio" band concluded the entertainment. The scene of the fastivit.es was afterwards transferrxl to a field, where sports were held.

A letter was received from Rhuddlan Parish Council, calling attention to the practice of firing chimneys in Rhudd'an, and asking the Council to put a stop to it. It. was decided to inform the Parish Council that the rural authority had no power to deal with the matter. "AN AWKWARD PRECEDENT." Mr Edwin Morgan, on behalf of the commit- tee. appointed to go into the question of drain- age, at Mr R. E. Evans' new kc.us-a at Penlon, Rhuddlan. stated c-hat the only way of dealing with the difficulty be to attach it to the main drain- Mr Lk>w. B. Evans moved that they offer £20 towards the cost of carrying out the work, pro- viding it was done under the supervision of the Sanitary Inspector. It was .slated that tho Surveyor's estimate of the cost of the work was £65, Mr Conwy warned the Council that they were opening the door to a very wide question, and were treading on dangerous ground- He wanted to do his bast for Mr Evans, but they were creating an awkward precedent. Mr f ,few. 15. Evans' motion was carried nem. con. RIlFALLT WATER SUPPLY. A letter was read from Mr J. W. F».u'kes, concerning the water Supply of Rhuallt, wherein he stated that nothing had been done to im- prove the conditions- The rchool had been closed for months owing to the existing state of affairs, and if something were not done, steps would Jr. taken to bring the matter to the notice of the Local Government Board. It appeared that several members had already visited j he place, and it was agreed that some- thing should be but as the cost would fall npon the parish of Tremeiivhion, it was decided to obtain the views of the Parish Council proceeding any further, Mr Ccnwy Bed point- ing- out, that as Rhuallt had been waiting several vears, another month wou'd not hurt, them ECONOMISING ON THE ROADS. Mr Conwy Bell moved that owing to the maining of the road between Meliden and Pen- paluiant, instructions be given to the Surveyor to reduce the number of ruudmcn in the em.p1.ov of the Council. He thought they ought to make the suggested reduction. The Surveyor (Mr L'oyd) said he could net do with less Illau, The Chairman said tl ev had men on the road who ought- not to be ihe re, and that was why they employ:*d so many; Mr W. S. Roberts, who remarked that they must economise somewhere, supported Mr Bell's motion, which was carried. PENGWERN IMPROVEMENT. A letter was read from Mr Mac. Nieoli, s>tatiug that- he had made, arrangements to lake the ianil for the proposed improvement near Pengwern.
