A communication: was read from Mrs Edith M. Jenkirason, secretary of the above Associa- tion, stating that the services of the nurse al- ready extended well over the district. Trie Com- mittee. however, could not see their way to ex- tend the divtriet over the whole of 1,703 acres of Llysiaen district, and she sincerely hoped the .d cii: way to gra 13-card wru? see th iit fivegun?3as as was done in other parishes. Mr Raynes proposed that a letter be written stating that they did nob want the nurse to go to the extreme ends of tho parish and on that condition they should grant the usual five guineas. Mr Thos. Williams second-id, and it was car- ried- WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE. A letter was read from the secretary of the Oolwyn Bay branch of tlie Women's Suffrage Society asking the Board to support a bill which is to ho introduced shortly by Mr Shackletan in favour of the enfranchisement of women. Mr 0 id man said he was in favour of women's sutiraga, but at; the same time he did not con- sider that meeting should be troubled with such resolutions. He moved that the letter be laid on the table- and this was seconded by Mr Wilkinson, and carried. MEDICAL OFFICER'S COMPLAINT. i I The Medical Officer remarked that he had noticed in the minutes that the House Com- mittee recommended purchasing elastic bandages for an inmate of the workhouse. With all due respect he wished to say that he did not think it right for lady guard.a.nts to intecfc-ro with patients without consulting the Medical Ofhccr. The recommendation of the commiltoo would bo of no good, and they might as well throw the bandages ido tho water. Mr (-?i.dn ''t?" said\that 1,,D ii.t se,a that tLc- lady guardians were Jnclltiünd in the recommen- dation of the committee. The person who moved the resolution was not present, that day, and the doctor was not present at the meeting. The Medical Officer replied that what he wished was that if a lady or gentleman guardian wanted to make suggestions it was their duty to suggest to the master, matron, the medical officer, or the nurse. The guardians had every right to look into the duties of the officials, and as to whether they performed them rightly or no, but hoe-n, there was a recommendation which wa.s really not required. It was decided to refer the recommendation to purchase bandages back to tho House Commit- tee. THE CHILDREN'S HOMES. It was decided to communicate with tlie Local a;n'n- th,?? ,ff Covernitioiit Board e?xpl 1 -?l c-ultie?i of a,?id re-adi-riittln, chil0rcn of parents ill tllo w o,, k hD use, 4ri c) i,e part,*?eu!urlv fliot3e ca--e?s knon,-n aL6-?

At a n-i?--eliri,- of tll.o IJOUS.C- CO- lowing roaohition submitted by the Norwich (Cor- poration was S'ubmitt.e<d That the Board is of opinion that a:il legal disabilities suffered by the recipients of poor law relief should be 10- moved." After a considerable discussion it was recommended' that the resolution be approved of with the addition of the, words "caused by temporary distress" after the word "i,,Ji0f." An amendment by Mr McCk-roent to adopt the rtxjiution of the Norwich Corporation was defeated by a majority. The House Committee also decided to sup- port the following resolution of the Chorlton Union, "that tdio Secretary of the State of the Home Department be requested to take inunedi- ate steps for the deletion of tlie description "pauper'' patients in the 01 death forms from county asylums, as such description is not only uamecc^sary, hut abfctolutely objectionable and hurtful to the feelings of relatives at a time of deep distress and bereavement. In connect ion with the aroe matter Mr W. Davies, Colwyn Bay, had givon notice to move a resolution on similar lines. A long discussion took place on tho motion, which was tdtimately rejected1 by a large majo- rity, and the committee's recommendation was agreed to- MASTER'S REPORT. According to the Master's report, gifts were received for the in mattes from Mrs Jones- Mortimer, Bryn Steddfod; Miss Champneys, IJlandudlno; Mrs Lloyd, Colwyn Bay Mrs Rogers Jones, Glan Conway,, and Mrs Roberts.

At a meeting of the Finance Committee it was reported that there was a net balance in the bank of E-1,186 6s 2d.

DENBIGH TOWN COUNCIL. THE NEW TOWN HALL SCHEME. The monthly meeting of the Town Council was held to-da.y week, the Mayor (Alderman J. Humphrev Jon.es) presiding. FIRE BRIGADE DEMONSTRATION. Councillor J. Morris Davies (who is also captain of the Fire Brigade) said it was suggested that the amnual demonstration of the°NiOrtli Wales branch of the National Fire Brigade Union should this year, be held at Denbigh, and a letter from the secretary of the branch setting out the conditions was read. The Council were of opinion that the diffi- culty of securing a suitable field with an adequate supply of water was at present an insurmountable one, for this year at all events. It was at some future time, how-ever, to surmount the difficulty. It was decided to reply to this effect. EXPERIMENTAL WELLS. The Highways Committee recommended that an experimental well be bored in the upper end of the Cattle Market, as water was urgently needed for the motor tractor. The Borough Surveyor now T-opurted that he had consulted the chairman- of the High- ways Committee (Mr Boaz Jones), and had already put his men to bore the well. Councillor Clo-ugh strongly condemned the custom of starting works of various descrip- tion before they were sanctioned by the Coun- cil. He moreover objected to the spending of money on this and other similar weills. Alderman Boaz Jones said he thought the matter urgent, and though lie had failed to follow the letter of the law, his intentions were good (hear, hear, and laughter). The recommendation was eventually adooted. FINANCIAL REFORM. The Finance Committee submitted a lengthy report, containing also the special report of Mr Walter Conway, of Chester, upon his ex- amination -of the Corporate accounts for the la,st financial year. As a result o<f this Te- port, the committee made various ilecotit- mendations with the view of reforming and perfecting the present system of keeping the borough accounts, especially in reference to the mode of collecting rates, the payment of workmen, etc. In moving the adoption of the report, Coun- cillor Cottam said the rate-collector (Mr Wm. Price) did his work admirably, and the recom- menda-tion of the eom.mitte-e cast no reflection whatever upon him. Councillor T. Lloyd Jones seconded, and the motion was carried. THE RAILWAY ASSESSMENT. The London and North-Western Railway Company wrote stating that they were ap- pealing against the poor rate assessment and enquiring if the current general district rate •oould stand over and abid-e by the result of the appeal. It was decided that this should be agreed to subject to the payment of £ 50 on aoceorat of the* rates. THE PUBLIC HALL SCHEME. A meeting of the whole Council in com- mittee re-adopted the resolutions passed in December last in reference to the proposed new Town Hail scheme, with the following modificatioiiis-, viz.: That a public hall be provided (as part of the scheme) large enough to accommodate 2000 people, that a Town Hall be provided to accoinmodat3 450 people that it be an instruction to the architect when appointed, to provide the necessary offices for each room; that Crown-lane should be widened to an average width of 20 feet; that it be left to the architect to advise whether the present ante-room to the Assembly Room remain or be taken down that the present Tub Market be retained for the same pur- pose; that it be left to the architect to ad- vise as to the position of the heating ap- paratus. It was further resolved that it also be an instruction to the architect; to provide accommodation it. the new buildings for fowls, wool, seeds, pound butter, meat, fruit, and vegetable markets, a Council Chamber, Magistrates' Court Room, com- mittees and retiring-rooms, Fire Brigade Station, etc., etc. All the foregoing resolutions are to be con- sidered as instructions to the architect, and not as absolutely binding on the Council in the final consideration of the scheme.. The report was adopted without discussion, on the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Alderman Boaz Jones. ROAD IMPROVEMENTS. It was decided to otfer the owners of Bron Dyffryn Farm £ 10 for 50 square yards of the farm yard for the purpose of widening the road, the Council to re-build the boundary wall and carry out the work. It was also recommended that Colonel Hughes, Ystrad, be a-sked to give a piece of land for t.he pur- pose of widening the road near Liys Farm..

MISSION"SALE-0F~VV0RK AT LLANDUDNO. RECTOR AND CHURCH WORK. There was a. large assembly at the Town Hall, Llandudno, to-day week, when the ,annual sale of work in connec- tion, with the Church of England Home and Foreign Mission, was held. The event was organised, as has been the case in former yca.rs, by the local mission working party, the lady president of which is Mrs LI. R. Hughes, The Rectory. The Town Hall was prettily decorated for the occasion, whilst the stalls were laden with a varied selection of articles for sale, and in fact, all the arrangements were a credit to the tact and business capabilities of Mrs Hughes and her band of workers. THE OPENING CEREMONY. The opening ceremony was performed by Mrs Martin Wilson, Eithinog. The Rector (Rev. LI, R. Hughes, M.A.), speak- ing at the outset, said he considered the annual salei of work on behalf of the home and foreign missions of the Church, one of the most important events connected with Church work during the year. It -was now an old event, established twenty years ago, and it had proved a good means of bringing before the public in their little parisll some of the greatest institutions of C, -Li r oli (h,e??ir Lear). Th??yd'd -,)?rt work of to siipl the ('hurch's gr??, taii.,d t'l?l,?, lic!;(l severa?l oii bc'ha,?f of -vvli;vh sp,?ei-,il efforts were made, but he pointed out that there were a great number of agencies in con- nection with the Church of England which only existed through the aid of the mission ladies' working party. This aid not only embraced foreign miss-ions of the Church, but also seemed to gather in the great home missions, towards which they could contri- bute by this means (hear, hear). It was ,;i, r-pri,I 17-- diow Tiii?,ch of t7i]e -wor?: of the ("I-iurch (1.p,.?nd?d -a,?,,ou vo"iuntarv c<)ntribil-- t,.(y0 ? as. lclr 1000 curnl ?,s in the Ciiu;:ch o?'

However, with regard to the work that ihey were now cluing and had done throughout the year, there wa* nothing of •Volf' in it at all, as they in that parish would not benefit to the extent of a single penny by the sale, but the proceeds would aK be handed ever to the different societies of the church (hear, hoar). Mrs Wiilson expressed her pleasure at being present to open the sale of work, which she hoped would be quite as successful as u/ual. At the fame time she announced that a garden fete would be given at. Eitbincg on the 16t,h August, d to Scani?en 'c' The Rev.

CONWAY RIVER CONSER- VATORS. APPOINTMENT OF CASUAL WATCHERS. The quarterly meeting of the Conway River Board on: Conservators was held at Llanrwst on Monday, Dr. Pilchard presiding. There were also present, Coil. Gee, Messrs Ephraim Wood. Pabo Hall; O. Isgocd Jones, E. Mills, W. J. Williams, and Idwal Fielding', together with Mr C. T. A Hard clerk) and the river bailiffs. Col. Gee. who had been deputed to examine the plans of the new hospital submitted by the Conway Joint Board, reported that lie was quite satisfied with the sewerage system. The Board had evidently done them best to meet the re- quirements of the Fishery Board. PRESERVATION OF THE FISHING. The Lancashire and Western Sea Fisheries Board intimated1 that their three baiiffs were at liberty to asist the Coaiway water bailiffs near the sea if the Board cared k> take advantage of tho offer. The offer was gratefully accepted. Col. Gee drew attention to the suggestion ad- vanod at the previous meeting to appoint casual water ba.iLi.fis to assist the.. regular men in the upper reecbes of the, river which were not al- 'be -b -iI ,vay,?i w,cs' t.?) the water ffs, -vlio h,d a great d,&al to dD walch Irg other portions of the river. He contended that a great deal of poaching was practised in the upper reaches and it was time to take action with the view of de- tecting the offenders. Mr Isgced Jones: You mean' the appointment of casual watchcrs and not permanent water bailiffs, I presume. Col. Gee replied, in affirmative, and- said that at the former meeting a retaining fee of about £ 1 was suggested as remuneration 'for ca&ual watchers, wno would be appointed to assist the regular men, especially during the spawning season- The district was too large for two men to cover adequately. Mr W. J. Williams said the system had been dbut fell through for want of funds. 0 Mr Wood explained that the retaining fee- in this case would' be nominally only the duty of the men being restricted to reporting cases cf poach- ing to the chief water bailiff. 'Nir W.11*?,.Yns sa', J Wi I id that ti).c, icriraner.?L watchers were well known so that poachers when watchers were well known so that poachers, when they approached, ran away. If men were appointed to assist them, their identity should remain a secret. Col. Geo remarked that the water bailiff sub- been instructed to see likely men to do the work and submit their names to the meeting. Mr Moses Roberts, tho chief water baliff, sub- mitted the names of three men who wero pre- pared to do the work and it was decided that the Clerk should see them and arrange the fees, etlJ. DIVERSION OF WATER, Chief Water Bailiff reported that a portion of tho river by Dolgarrog 'had been diverted into a ditch, with the result that trout were drawn into it. During dry weather the river would heecme tco shaknr for fish to exist in it. He had not complained to the proprietors of ,,h,- vvorlzs.

A circular letter was read from the Wear Fishery Board asking the Board to support their petition to the Government to have statutory powers to prevent the catching- of trout under seven inches in length. This was agreed the Clerk was instructed to explain, to tho Wear Boards that the Conway Fishery Board' had al- ready ade-pted a rule to that effect and in the smaller rivers the. measurement was reduced to 6 inches. RIVER. WATCHMAN'S REPORT. Mr Moses Roberts, tho chief water bailiff, in his quarterly report stated that the number of trout licences for the rivers and lakes in the dis- trict, exammed by the bailiffs, were 218 season tickets, and 53 day tickcb-or a total of Z71 licences. There wero also 14 salmon rod fishing licences and one weir licenco.

AN EXPENSIVE DRINK. Daniel Jonas, 55, Alexandra road, Llandudno, pleaded guilty to being in the North Western Junction Hotel during prohibited hours on a Sundav. Evidence was given to the effect that the defendant was on the premises at 7.15 p.m. on the evening of the day in question. Deputy Chief Constable Rees said that Jones was not a bona-fide traveller, but lie made it a practice every Sunday of walking to the Junc- tion Hotel for drink. The distance from Alexan- dra-road was under the three mile limit Defendant had been warned several times, and was fined about two years ago for a similar offence. The Bench imposed a nne of 5s and costs. NO TICKET. Mary Fury, Marl Lane, Llandudno Junction, was fined 5s and costs for travelling between Llandudno and the Junction without a ticket. Mr Eddv appeared for the prosecution. IRREGULAR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. A number of parents were fined for failing to send their children to school regularly. Robert Edwards, Gwylfa-terrace, Uysfaen, was mulcted in two fines, namely 2s 6d and costs for the ir- regular attendance of his son Harry, and 10s in- cluding costs for sending the said boy out beg- ging. The defendant, said Mr J. R. Jones (at- tendance officer) was a mason, and a very good one when he worked, but he seldom did so. Therefore, the children had to go out begging or go without food. Peter Jones, P.odryfedd-ter- ra.ee, Llysfaen, was fined Is and costs Thos. Wil- liams, Gioddaeth Bach. Glanwydden, 2s 6d and costs; John Williams, Bodbyfryd, Llysfaen, 2s 6d and costs.

CARNARVONSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. A BLANK CALENDAR. NEVIN LICENSING APPEAL. Tho Quarter Sessions for the county of Car- narvon were held to-day week at Car- narvon. The magistrates present were the Lord, Lieutenant (Mr J. E. Greaves) who presided, Judge Bryn Roberts, Capt. Stewart, Capt. Dra-ge, Dr. Lloyd Wiiliams. Messrs Kneeshaw, Richard Jongs, Adey Wells, Ephraim Wood, Edward Roberts, T. E- Roberts, Thomas Jones, (Portdmorwic), and Robert Roberts. THE LATE KING EDWARD. Before entering upon the business of the Court, the Chairman said that wherever Britisl* subjects had met during the past few weeks one sombre and overshadowing thought rose unwillingly to their minds, and no one could forget that a great calamity had visited the land., and the nation had lost a good and great King, who was honoured and beloved by his subjects because he ever strove to manifest a deep solicitude for all that appertained to their welfare and happiness. King Edward was a great constitutional mon- arch, ever jealous to maintain the liberties of his subjects, and his guiding principle through life was "Peace on earth, goodwill towards men." He moved a vote of condolence with the Royal Family in their bereavement, and also a vote of congratulation with King George on his accession to the Throne. TRIBUTE TO DECEASED MAGISTRATES, Tho Chairman referred to the death of Mr Lloyd Hughes, Coedhelen, who was one of the kindest of men, and most conscientious and gene- rous. He also alluded to the sudden and tragic death of Mr J. R. Pritcliard, Portmadoc, who did excellent work as .magistrate, and his cheery presence and ever-ready help would be sorely missed bv his friends and neighbours. WHITE GLOVES FOR THE CHAIRMAN. The Chairman said he was gratified to an- nounce a blank calendar, though it should be remembered that the Assizes for the county were only held recently. The Clerk of the Peace (Mr Bodvel Roberts) presented, on behalf of the High Sheriff (Mr D. P. Vv liiiams), a pair of white gloves to the Chairman, who observed that he had of late re- ceived many similar tokens of the county's im- munitv from crime. RATING APPEALS SETTLED. Mr Thornton Jones, acting on behalf of public authorities in the Bangor and Beaumaris Union, referred to a number of rating appeals against the County Rate Committee, in respect of rail- way assessments in the parishes of Llandegai, Pentir, Aber, Llanllechid, and said that terms had been arrived at.

John William Jones, liccncee of the Bull Inn, Nevin, appealed against the refusal of the Pwll- heli magistrates to renew the licence of the Inn. Mr Wm. George represented the magistrates, and Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P. (instructed by Mr Caradoc Davics, Pwllheli) appeared for the appellants. Mr George stated that the Pwllheli magistrates had referred the house for compensation, but the Compensation Authority found it was not a case in which compensation could be granted. Later the magistrates again refused to renew the licence The grounds for the refusal to renew wc bad conduct, of a previous tenant and structural un- 'ta ii uI b"ity. s Mr Evan Evans, County Surveyor, gave evi- dence that the house was unsuited for a public- house, and the sanitary arrangements were un- satisfactory. Answering Mr Ellis J. Griffith, witness ad- mitted that a fourth of the houses in Lloyn would not come up to the standard upon which he had based his evidence that day. An adjoin- ing public-house fell short of the bye-laws. There was accommodation for twelve horses at "ie P ,.i )ull Inn. Richard Davies, a retired police constable, gave evidence as to the conduct of the house by former licencecs, and said that the house was difficult to supervise. By Mr E. J. Griffith: The Bul! was in as good a state as several public-houses in the district. Supt. Jones,. Pwllhcli, stated that the lower -oo- 1 1011, ?is of the Ini-i were in a very bad cond*t' and it was certainly not fit for a licence in its -oresent state. A fine of 5s and ccsts was imposed upon a former licence for an offence, but that was during election time. Mr George There have been several elections there, judging by the number of fines imposed ^laughter). Mr Ellis J. Griffith: There were elections in Carnarvon also, and there was more than 5s and costs to pay here (laughter). Evidence was also given by H. T. Jones. Can- ton House, the Rev. Owen Pritchard, Nevin, Owen Williams, schoolmaster, Nevin, and John Griffith. THE APPELLANT'S CASE. On behalf of the appellant. Mr E. J. Griffith said that the character of the applicant would As to t, stctnd any test. :,o obiectio-), the County Surveyor based his evidence on the bye-laws issued by the Local Government Board, which were not obeyed by anyone (laughter). The inn was certainly up to the standard of Lleyn As far as the structural objections were con- cerned, the owners were prepared, if the inn could not be repaired, to rebuild the whole house. The avers ge trade of the house was P,309 a year for the past few years, and it was doing a legi- timate trade. The liccncee of the Bull Inn said that since the ease came before the magistrates lie had been married, and his wife had experience in licensed houses. Since the Bull Inn had been closed the Nanhoron Hotel had been crowded when he called there. He paid i:40 for going into the inn. Col. Savage, V.D., agent of the owners of the Bull Inn, gave evidence that the house had been doing a fairly good trade. The owners were pre- pared to meet the requirements of the magis- trates as regarded structural alterations. Mr Metcalf, representing Messrs Morgan Lloyd and Company, and Mr Charles Lloyd Roberts, surveyor, Pwllheli, who said thai, the inn could be altered at very little expense, gave further evidence. Furtht. evidence was given by Robert Owen, grocer, Nevin, who stated it would be a con- venience to the parish to have the Bull Inn with a. capable tenant Evan Williams, grocer, Mill- street, Nevin, Hugh Jones, farmer, Nevin, who said that the inn was a convenience to farmers; P.C. Hugh Williams, Nevin, who stated that apart from the conduct of one of the former licencees the house had been well conducted, and he had not found any difficulty in supervising the house. Two houses were not sufficient for Nevin, added witness, and there would not be less drinking if the Bull Inn was done away with, he thought. Mr Ellis J. Griffith said it would be better in the interests of true temperance to have three public-houses in tha village rather than two, where the business would be congested. The Court disallowed the appeal with costs.
