DENBIGH. CONSERVATIVE MEETING.—A meeting of the members and friends of the Denbigh Constitutional Association is arranged to be held in the club-room at the Iving's Arms, Vale-street, on Thursday next, at 7.30, when addresses in English and Welsh will be delivered by the Hon. G. T. Kenyon, the Conservative candidate for the horough; Captain P. P. Pennant, and other gentlemen. Dr. A. E. Tumour, J.P., will preside, and the com- mittee invite the attendance of ail friends of the Con- servative cause. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING. THURSDAY.—Present: The Mayor (Councillor E. T. Jones), in the chair; Councillors W. Morris, John Armor, J"hn Davies, James Caithness, Evan Thomas, Robert Ellis, Robert Parry, R. H. Roberts, J. S. Jones, and W. H. Foulkes Aldermen Evan Pierce, Thomas Gee, T. J. Williams, and E. W. Gee. The TOWN CLERK read the award, which had cost Ge1., and wirch stated that the price fixed upon for the Glas Meadows, 10a. 2r. 35p., was £:2,207 10s. In the course ofthe conversation, it was said that the price at which the land was offered them, in the first instance, was £ 2,300. Adding the cost of the award and the fees of Messrs. Lloyd Williams and Clough to the price fixed upon in the award the Counpil saved about £:5 on the original price. The TOWN CLERK read the terms upon which the £7,950 could be borrowed for the Smithfield and the widening of Red Lane, and after a very lobg discussion the following motion was carried, on the proposition of the EX-MAYOR, seconded by Mr. MORRIS "That as the Council is not obliged to complete the purchase of Gias Meadows for twelve months from the date of the valuation, and as the widening of Red Lane cannot be proceeded with until the sewerage works are carried through that part of the town, that the question of borrowing the money for both purposes be deferred for the present." The reports of the committees were read, one of them stating that Mr. R. \Vihianis, solicitor, had given a piece of land at the corner turning to Eglwy* Wen, and that the committee had ordered a wall to be built there, to cost about £15. Mr. MORRIS raised objection to these things being done in committee, as only one portion of the Council knew the reason for the things carried out. A long discussion about the advisability of having the Council divided into committees took place, during which the arguments so many times brought forward were ngain put before the meeting. As regards the wall named, Mr. Morris was informed that it was ordered at the last meeting of the Council, and Mr. R. H. ROBERTS said, if Mr. Morris would not listen to reports brought before the Council they were not to have their time wasted by giving him explana- tions. Mr. MORRIS said he was not present, and did not hear the Surveyor report upon the question. The reports were confirmed. A very long discussion arose as to the cost of the present length of the drainage, and whether the present pipe drain would be cheaper than the former brick one (which the ex-Mayor said would be the co.se), during which it was stated that £ 3,100 had already been spent on the drainage, but that seemed to include the £449 15s. for the High-street drainage, which it had been resolved should be defrayed out of the loan. However, to settle the question, it was resolved that a detailed account of all the money expended both on the works and litigation, &c., should be presented when number 1 contract was completed. Mr. E. W. GEE presented to the Council a letter sent by Dr. Hughes, Denbigh, to the St. Asaph Union, as their medical officer, announcing that a case of typhoid fever had been registered in his medical journal that day, and, added the Medical Officer, "Perhaps I need hardly remind you of the enormous cost in which the Board was involved some years ago through the mani- fest indifference of the Corporation of Denbigh at the commencement of a similar fever in the very place which you find specified to-day." The letter went on to say that the communication was made to the Board believing it to be the proper channel of communication with the Council. The necessary action was taken, and after other busi- ness had been disposed of, the meeting closed.
