(,'hairman said he was pksisod to see the report, which he 0 >nsideax3d was legibly safcisfao- tory. He rklill; the Council that )!hyi was not the only plato wiiiih had fctt aggrieved a.t the way it was troateo by Courrty CVmnciLs. In the previous woek's papers tlliey would have noticed that Mr George Beva.il had fought bard for Coilwyn Bay. and had ] > Tinted out how (his town, like Rhyl, bad sufleivxl. R-hyl as well as Cohvvn Hay had been fighting for jastioo over titic roads question, and he thought that, apart from politics, they should t-hank the coun- cillors and akJeimien f.r An Rllyl who had workcxl so hard for tiheni (iiiear, hoar). Mr E. G. Ev anis I to a point of order, and said he had not come tlhore to liston to a h,rrungll,e on the well-bccrag or weH-u ;i of tihe county oouncillora. It was s.'mply bolsteaing tihom up" to pass a vote of tihankis. The Chairman romJidied Mr Evarus that lie was in the chair, and that what he wad talking a.bout was thoroughly in ordor (hear, hear)- lie did a vote of tlxtnii., to tibear repreeenta- tives on the County (ouncill, and ooinsfidered tihat they worn indebtipd to CouiniaiHoi's II. A. TOby, J. H. Ellis, and W. J. P. Stoiey, with Aldermen S. Perks and W. Elwy Williams for the work they had done on the County C jurucil for Rhyl (hear, bear). They hail1 tried to do their begi., aind had nen"ved tlie town well. In fact they had pugnaciously fought for Rhyl for many years. flthose gentlemen had .secured for the town the main.ng of the road from title foot r' of the Vale-road BT1.dge to the Foryd BrJdg'o. He did not speak from anf, f>oliti<'al or seotarian standipoint" 11. those gentlemen included Conster- vatIveli and, Liberals and Nonconformists as well a.s Churchmen. Ho prrJiX*sed a vote of thanks to them as representatives of Rhyl. Mr Philips said he had, pleasure In secondring- It did not matter to ihim who the fieople were. So long as they worked for Ithyl ajid did some- thing for tibe town they deserved the thanks ol tlie Council- lie could not ag^ive with Mr Eval16 on the position he had taken tip. Mr IliM also associated himself with the re- marJQ. of tihe Ohaarman* He cona:dered that the town had a groat, dleal to thamk tlhoee gentle- men. Mr T. D. Jones said he also joined in the vott- of thanks, but at the same time he had to lyolnt out that there was some danger in pursuing the policy they were now pransing. illhyl had to pay heavily for any maining* that took place. Mr Til by: We have had to 7. ay all along, but had little an return. Mr T. D. Jones added that* there had been a tendency on the part of the County Council to niake footpaths and to improve main roadts. Mr Tilby: Yes, in the OOtUutry districts, but not i-n Clio towns. Mr T. D. Jones added tihat Rhyl had to pay heavily for all new work, and in any new main- ing Rhyl had to pay directly, as it was the largest contributor to the county funds. The Vioe-Chairman thanked the Chairman for his remarks, and said that he had at. one time oppayad tlboe policy wthicih had ii /vv been^adopted. because the main mads cxpe-m fell heavily on Ribyj. In fact, the County Council was now being assked for somainy things that he expected next to hear people asking' tliem to clean tiheir windows for them (Laughtor). Mr E. G. Evans referred to certain figures, and remarked that he understood that they would lose the £ 150 they had had for RhyL How much more would they also lose under this new aarratige-iiient Mr Tilby said they would still get the J3150 and a little more. In the past they had had 60 per cent, of t.he cost of the roads, but now they would get the whole. The vote of thanks liaviog' been carried, Mr Tilby acknowledged, and remarked that he was in full st. iiipath-y with Mr T. D. Jones, but they could not Icae sigiht of the fact that at onie meetiiiig of the County Council a snatched vote had decided that all urban districts should no longer receive grants to district roads. That was -at the next but the dan- gler of an adverse vote stiiil remained, and the course now adopted had secured Rhyl for the future. Instead of having grants only for dis- trict ioiaAZ thty had secured the maining ci one road, and they 8till stood to get, the distiict road grant, so they wem better off. Some five years ago the expenditure on iria-i roues was £ 11,000. but now it had gone up ta 1;16,000, and Rhyl had to t)czli- one-sixth of that, but they had had little in return- It was time they altered tiheir pol:cy a.s to the mainrirug of roads, and they had accordingly done so with benefit to Rhyl. If they to:;ik tihe Union basis they found that while the St. Asaph Union only had soizie 50 per cent- for loads from the county, otiheir Unions had 100 per cent. That was the first injustice. Secondly, with the exception of Prestatyn, Rhyl had one-edghth of its proportion of support for roadts- At lenig't'.h there was some recognising of justice, and Rhyl had secured the first measure of it. They had done what they considered was best for the interests of Rhyl. VOTES OF THANKS. A vote of thanks was passed to tihe Chairman for recent,ly entertaining the officials, workmen and chairmen of committees to dinner, and also to the Clerk for presenting to tlie Council a fira.med oo-pv of a photograph presented to him by Mr J. H. Ellis. THE MARINE LAKE. Negotiations were reported to be well ad- vanced for providing the Marine Lake with various attractions yuoh as a water chute and S!jd& shows, but as the agreement has not yet been definitely decided upon the m.iwuiteis were treated as "private and confidential." TAXI-CABS FOR RIIYL. Tlio Road Committee recommended that an application by Measns Peter Edige, Ltd., for per- mission to run two taxi-cabs in Rhyl be grantiwl until the next annual licensing melting, and that, their licence be then olio-n to renewal. Mr E. T. Evans moved that the report be re- ferred back, and pointed out tha.t there seemed to thavoe been a great deal of hurry over the matter as the application was granted the same dJay as tlie letter was written. Mr Wallis seconded, and urged that the mat- ter should stand oxer until tine anniuial licensing meeting when all applicati:-ns could be dealt witih. They had already decided agairust motor char-a-bancs; yet they "pushed for taxi-cabs." Mr Phillips thought that Messrs Peter Edge's enterprise should be encouraged. He was pleased to find that the Road Committee were waking up. and that they had reached that stage when they could deal with an application on the day it was received (laughter). Mr Till by: I see you are g'etting in toucih with the work (laughter). Mr Phillips: Some people take care we do not get in touch with the work. lie added that it would be a mistake to stifle enterprise. Mr Ilill also congratulated the Road Commit- too on its smartness, and hoped they would be supported. The report was adopted by a large majority. NO SUNDAY LABOUR. The Vioe-Chaiirman announced that in conse- quence of tihe improved plant at the gasworks Sunday labour ha.d been done away witih from the previous day until Aug'ust (hear, bear). THE LIBRARY. A gift of a volume entitled "Welsh Political and Educational Leaders in the Victorian Era" was reported from. Mr W. J. p. Storey for the Library. The salary of librarian was in- ereaised by JS10 from April 1st next. NEIGHBOURLY FEELING- It had been recommended by the Sanitary Committee not to receive a deputation from the St. Asaph Rural District Council on the question of the Isolation Hospital, but the Council decided that the Clerk should deal with the matter in "a mare neighbourly feehng." SUNNY RHYL. The Surveyor reported that the amount, of bright sunshine registered from December 19th, 1909, to January 22nd. 1910 (35 days) was 87 hours 15 minutes, an average of 2 hours 30 minutes per day.
