The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

Llandudno Urban District Council, THE monchlv meeting of this Council was held on Tuesday. Mr Robert Roberts, deputy chair- man, presiding.

Ploiaenade Seating. A tender was accepted for the supply and delivery of 327ft. of additional continuous seat- ing for the Promenade, at a cost of £ 89.

A Slaughterhouse Dispute. The Sanitary Committee recommended that the solicitor to the Council take proceedings against Messrs John Jones and Sons, Limited, for the misuse of the slaughter-house premises occupied by them. A letter from the firm was read by Mr A. Conollv, clerk, in which they stated that they would be obliged to igive up their tenancy unless they were allowed to carry on there the business which they had carried -on hitherto in their own premises for twenty-five years without any com- plaint from the sanitary officers of the Council. Mr E. E. Bone moved that the recommenda- tion be eliminated, and that the solicitor be asked what proceedings should be taken. Mr L. W. Griffith said this firm contributed a third of the revenue of the slaughter-houses. Mr J. M'Master contended that all the Coun- cil were desired to do was to carry out the law of the land and not any regulation of their own as the landlords of these premises. Mr T. T. Marks said it was obvious that there were other considerations than regard for the sanitation of the town at work in the Council in regard to this question. Mr E. E. Bone said that assertion was open to interpretation that he as the mover of the amendment was animated by other considera- tions than the interests of the town. He would be sorry to be in any personal altercation with Mr Marks, but he did not wish to be under any wrong imputation. MrMarks repeated the statement, and refused to withdraw or vary it. There was nothing im- proper in it. The Chairman failed to see any personal re- ference. Mr Bone It did appear that there was. I do not want to put Mr Marks in a false position I do not think he meant what he said. Mr Marks said it was scarcely necessary to say that he meant no personal reflection, but they were asked to deal with this firm, a power- ful firm in the town, in a manner which they would not be asked to deal with an ordinary small firm. That was what he meant exactly. Mr John Owen contended that the committee were unduly harassing this firm. Both the sanitary inspector and the medical officer had suggested a way out of the difficulty. Mr Thewlis, chairman of the committee, denied that there had been any such way out of I the difficulty. I Mr John Owen said what was objected to was I the boiling of tripe. The dressing of tripe was I more objectionable than the boiling of it, but I tripe was dressed in parts of the slaughter-house I occupied by other tenants, and it was taken I away and boiled on their private premises. I Mr M'Master said1 that information should I have been made known to the committee. I Mr J. Owen said the committee should have I their eves open. If the case came into the court witnesses would be called as to all these things, I and what would be the position of the Council then? I The amendment was carried.

I Hotel Fire Appliances. I The Fire Brigade Superintendent reported I that by invitation he had visited the Grand I Hotel, George Hotel, the Imperial Hotel, I Queen's Hotel, Marine Hotel, and the Craigside I Hydro with a view to advising as to the fire I extinguishing apparatus on these premises. He I made certain recommendations as to the pro- I vision of fire buckets >and other precautions. I Mr Chantry suggested 'that the staffs of the I hotels should be drilled in the method of fire I -extinguishing so as to be able to battle with an I outbreak if it occurred. I Mr R. Bellis. chairman of the committee, said I the superintendent swould no doubt be pleased I to give any assistance required in the training cf I the hotel staffs, but it was for the 'hotel pro- I prietors themselves to take the necessary steps I to have the staffs trained as suggested, and also to provide the ap z, paratiis.

I The Town Under-Policed. I It being pointed out ithat the police force in I the town was two under the proper strength, I Mr J. J. Marks moved, and Mr R. Bell's, I seconded a, resolution to the effect that a com- I plaint be addressed to the police authority of ■ the county. ■ Mr John Owen said that .even when the full ■ strength of police was in the town th place was ■ under-policed, and he thought a communication I 'ought to be sent to the Home Secretary to that effect, ■ The Chairman concurred, remarking that it ■ was no use confining any representation on the ■ subject to the county authority, who generally H ignored them. ■ It was agreed, to send the complaint to the ■ Clerk of the Peace, the Chief-Constable, and the Home Secretary.

■ Coronation and the Seaside. ■ A letter from'the Town Clerk of Douglas with H reference to the effect of having the Coronation in the visiting season upon seaside resorts was read, but on tne motion of Mr Bellis it was decided not to pass any resolution on the subject. The Chairman said the date of the Coronation was practically fixed, and it was a matter for the King himself. The event would only occupy one day, Mr Thewlis added that the Coronation might ■ greatly benefit the town, inasmuch as a friend of his had had an order to accommodate 1,600 H people on that day.

M The Sarah Nicol Cottage Hospital. I The Sa-rah Cottoge Hospital Comniittce applied for ',ea?,e to hold the annual ,treet col- lection. L\,Ir J. j. Arark, wil?"le movin'g that t,)e per- mission asled for be giN-ei-i, said 'he would like t,?) mal?e a short ??latemei-it -,i,ith rellard to that very deserving insti-?tLitiolli, T'bere was con- ,siderable dissatisfaction iii the town iii re,ard to the exclusion, the perpetuil excli-isioii, of medical men from the hon6rar?, staff. This was a direct cause of a loss of usefulness to that i-is 'tutiorl, wh-"ch wa,, public in character. ,ti ,T?lledical gentlemen dulv qualified were not allov,7ecl to attend their- patients there. That Council was asked- for perm- iss;-on to make a Collection, which meant the raising of Zloo to ,f 150 a year for the hospital, and when they granted that permission he recommended that they should represent to the committee the in- justice inflicted by this exclusion of a certain proportion of the medical practitioners from the institution, not only upon the medical men themselves, but more particularly upon the resi- dents who were unable to go inrto the hospital because they could not have their own doctors to attend them. Mr Bone, Mr Bellis, and others concurred with these remarks, and permission to make the collection was given,

Parish Representations. The Clerk read the order of the Joint Com- mittee representing the County Councils of Den- bigh and Carnarvon, who sat recently at Con- way and decided that the representation of Llandudno parish on the Conway Board of Guardians should be increased by three Guard- ians, and thait of the Eglwysrhos parish, within the urban district, by one extra Guardian. The Chairman moved that the Council appeal to the Local Government Board on the, ground that the order made was totally inadequate, in so far as the urban district of Llandudno was concerned, the two parishes named- being very much under-represented. He said the gentle- men acting ,at the inquiry seemed to him to sym- pathise too much with the rural part of the Union, and left the urban district worse off than it was. He had felt sure that, as a result of the appeal, Llandudno parish would get eight Guardians and Eglwysrhos three. They might get more, as they were certainly entitled to them. That Council had accepted the com- promise adopted by the Conway Union, but when that compromise was upset by the Joint Committee Llandudno was free to apply for the full amount of representation to which it was entitled. The motion was carried unanimously.

Llanrwst Horse Sales. (SPECIAL TELEGRAM). Thursday Afternoon. TO-DAY the Llanrwst Horse Sales made their debut before a crowded attendance. There was a grand collection of horses, those of the heavy type being the best ever seen in Llanrwst. Messrs Marriott and Whittaker, the auction- eers, are to be congratulated upon their enter- prise. Some of the prices realised and the prize-win- ners are as follows:—Mr Williams, Henblas, Llanrwst, gained a first prize with his heavy "Captain," which changed hands at 71 guineas. Among the light horses the best was shown by Mr Thomas Roberts, Llanrwst, who was awarded first prize. Two splendid pony bay geldings, named "Colonel" and "Lion," were sold for 130 and no guineas respectively, to Mr Roberts, War- rington, and Mr Sankey, Warrington. John Hughes, Penybont, Llanrwsf, won a first prize with "Boar Defiance." Capital prices were given for other cattle by Messrs Webster Bros., Liverpool; Stamford, Wolverhampton; Kaufman, Liverpool; and Briggs, Blockheaton. The start was succesful, and the prospects of establishing permanent horse sales at Llanrwst are promising,

Dee Estates, Limited. Mil Justice Buckley, sitting on Tuesday in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice for the disposal of companies' winding-up business, had before him a petitioft filed in the Liverpool District Registry for the winding-up of this company. Mr Hart, who appeared for the petitioner, stated that his client was a creditor of the company, but the company had provided for his debt, and had agreed to pay his costs. There would, however, be some difficulty in getting the costs taxed if the petition was dismissed, and he asked, therefore, that no order should be made upon the petition except that the company do pay the petitioner's I costs, and be taxed. Mr Justice Buckley made an order in that form. <

Colwyn Bay Free Library Movement. Meeting of the Committee. Mr Carnegie's Munificence. A MEETING of the Free Library Committee was held in the Council Room on Tuesday evening. The Rev Thomas Parry presided, and there was a good attendance. The Chairman remarked that after what had occurred at the Council meeting that afternoon, he felt in honour bound to tell them that the chair was in their hands entirely. He had been elected to the chair as a member of the Council, but he had resigned his seat. Rev Wni. Hughes said that he took it they had nothing to do with the Council. That was a committee of townsmen, and they had elected Mr Parry chairman. They were all sorry on account of the misunderstandings on the Coun- cil, and they grieved that the members of the Council could not carry on the work of the town without those perpetual misunderstandings. They remembered the grand work which Mr Parry had done for Colwyn Bay during the last 20 years, and they were full of sympathy with him. Dr Cousins remarked it would be a calamity almost if their chairman were to leave them. As much as they regretted the disruption in the Council, it was their wish that Mr Parry should continue in the chair. The Chairman: If it is your wish, gentlemen, I will remain in the chair. (Hearty applause). The business of the committee was then pro- ceeded with. The Chairman said that he had received a very nice letter from the Hon. Laurence Brod- rick, Coed Coch, expressing splendid senti- ments. Mr Brodrick was not very well known in Colwyn Bay, and he did not know the town intimately, but he had promised a sum of £ 20 towards the Free Library. He received a towards the Free Library. I received a letter from Mr Nunn, solicitor, announcing that Mr Andrew Carnegie was willing to give ^1,500 if 'another similar sum was raised locally. (Loud applause). The question of the funds collected by the canvassers was then discussed. Some of the canvassing books had been brought to the meet- ing, and the names thereon were given to the secretary. But, in order to get a complete list for printing, it was decided that all the canvass- ers should forward all the names of those who had given or promised to igive sums, to the Rev W. Hughes by Thursday morning. Those of the canvassers who were present gave a very favourable account of their labours. People were everywhere willing to give, and substantial sums were promised.
