HOLYWELL GUARDIANS AND MR. LLOYD GEORGE. NEW PENSION SCHEME CRITICISED. I At a meeting of the Holywell Board of Guar- dians on Friday the Chairman (Mr J. Prince) read a statement which he had prepared asi to the manmer in which tihe proposals of the Chan- ooUor of the Exchequer to meet tlle cxtm ccst of giving old-age pensions to persons now dis- qfuaJifkd by being in reoeint of relief would affect the Board. The Chairman said he was of opinion that under the new arrangement the poor would, be nrixlh worse off than tihoy were at the jresent time. Dr. Oliver did not think they should do any- thing to frustrate this achenne, whicb was only a beginning. It wias a modic-rate beginning. The Chair nan: I question very much if any great number of old people in this Union will accept the pensions. Dr. CHivor: They will have the chance. The Chairman: And' thcee who do accept the money will come to us for reliesi, a.ixt be paupers sftill. The Chairman pointed out several difficulties which would arko in the practical working of the scheme. Dr. Oliver said these diSioulties would all ba worked out. The Cierk They are difficulties that must be provided for. Mr Webster thought some influence should be brought to bear upon the Chancellor :efore the scheme became law, or it would be too late, lie felii sure a better scheme could be dc'vÍ"C!. The Chairman said Mr Lloyd George did not know the practical working of Boards of Guar- dians. and before he legislated he should get bis information from practical men. It was eventually decided that the Chair nan and Clerk shout4i draft a. letter on the v.ibj -ct to the Chancellor and submit it to the Board for approval.

r CONWAY BOARD OF GUARDIANS. MEi'DERS' CHARITABLE ACTION. CONSIDERABLE INCREASE IN YAGRANOY. Th-e monthly meeting of this Board was held on Friday, when there were present: Mr Wm. Williams (chairman), Mrs Oldman (in the vioo-chair), Mrs B. C. Jones. Miss Lewis, Miss Williams, Rev. W. Phillips, Messrs J. W. Raynes, Rogers Jones, Ed. Williams, A. J. Oldman, T. Williams, R. Roberts, J. T. Tay- lor, John Dowel. Thos. Roberts, Wm. Davies, S. R. Bartley, O. W. Roberta, Hugh Owen, D. O. Williams, Ed. Jones, Hugh Davics, with the Clerk (Mr T. E. Parry), the Assistant Clerk (Mr J. W. Post), and other officials. GENEROUS GUARDIANS. A singular case oaxae before the Board in reference to a child formerly an inmate of the house. It apjvc-ars that the child waa placed in service at Jtiethesda .about three years ago, that she had no longer a Kelt lenient in the Conway Union. Her employers w-er-e now in temporary pecuniary difficulties in con- sequence of the illness of the husband, who was laid up in hospital. The wife wrote pa nting a painful little picture of domestic unhappmess, but adding that befoio sho parted, with the little workhouse child she would rather "cat dry bread." Having- regard to their impotence in the matter irom a legal point of view the mem- bers decided to contribute from their own pockets toward.,3 the maintenance of the for the time being, a collection being made in the room. PAUPERS' PENSIONS: THE Cli AN,. tlLLOR'S SCHEME UNPOPULAR. Circular letters were read from three Board of Guardians, including t Irewisliam Board, requesting the Board to take the usual steps to prevail upon the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer to amend his scheme in regard to re- moval of the pauper disqualification clause of the Old Age Pensions Act so as to relieve Boards of Guardians of the burden of pro- wling tho mon-ey as suggested by the Chan- cellor. Mr A. J. Oldman proposed t.hat the Board approve the Lewiellam Board's letter, and that two local members of Parliament and the Local Government Board be asked to support the stoep ad voce ted by that Board. The motion having been seconded, Mr WIll. Davies said he thought it would be better for them to acknowledge the diffi- culty confronting the Chancellor, and rather than place difficulties in his way they should do all they could to assist him out of his trouble. They would only be called upon to do so for twelve months, because at the end of that time things -would have OOIIbe round so that the Guardians would be relieved of the burden. He was afraid there was some political influence at the back of the Lewisham Board's idea in order to place the Chancellor in an awkward plao?, and it was thor duty to get him out of the corner (laughter and hear, hoar). He moved that they protest against imposing the burden upon the Poor" Law Authorities after the clooj of the financial year. Mr Dowell seconded. On a division, however, only three votqd for Mr Davies' amemdment, the original motion being carried by a majority of ten VOILS to seven. ELECTION OF GUARDIANS. The Board decided to support the follow- ing resolution adopted by U:e Parish of Bir- mingham "That in the opinion of this Board an amendment of the Local Government Board's regulations with regard to the elec- tion of Guardians was. necessary, to prevent a person contesting more than one word or pamsh at the same tinhe in parochial elections, and that a oopy of this resolution be aent to the Local Goveraimnt Board."

A circular letter was read from the Bangor and Beaumaris Union recommending that a meeting be held of two representatives ap- pointed by each of the following Unions, namely, Carnarvon, Conway, Pwllheli, Fes- tiniog, Llanrwst, Holyhead, Anglesey, and the Bangor and Beaumaris Unions, to confer as to the best way of dealing 'with tramps. The committee recommended the Board to support .1 the Bangor recommendation, end that this Beard's representatives be, Messrs Edward Jones and P. H. MeCiement, with Mr J. T. Taylor appointed to attend if either of the lirst two find it iriconvenient to attend oil the day of the conference. It iva-s reported that there had been an enormous increase in vagrancy during the last few months. The Chairman It seems to Le a complaint all over this part of the country. Mr Wm. Davi.cs: You had better put that down to the Budget too (laughter). FINANCIAL. The Clerk jepGrted that the Board were in credit at the bank to the tune of £ 2031 that day, and he siiorgest,-d that cheques for < £ 1000 each be signed in favour of the Den- bighshire and Carnarvonshire Councils, the suggestion being adopted.

LAND FOR GARDEN PURPOSES. A committee recommended the Board to apply to the Conway Corporation for the sale to them of the land adjoining the work- house prcmiocG on the north or north-east, ard north or north-west for garden purposes, and that the Board apply for the prices of the land offered for sa.le on the opposite side of road to the workhouse. The minute was confirmed. CHILDREN SAVE FOR THEIR TRIP. The boys having asked to be allowed to visit Llandudno, "as they had saved enough money for the (purpose," the members of the Homes Committee sanctioned the holiday, and subscribed amongst themselves to provide for teas. The Chairman now reported that he and some of the other members representing Llan- dudno had met this children who enjoyed a happy time. i OLD COLWYN RSI-NG ASSOCIATION. 'I In reply to a letter from the Board Miss Edith M. Jenkinson, hon. secretary to the Old Colwyn Nursing Association, wrote stating the Association's nurse "already at tends all cases, including those who receive Poor Law relief in the lower part of the parish, that the committee cannot undertake to extend their district over the whole of the 171-40 acTe- of Llysiaen parish, and that they sincerely hope that the B-oard will sub- scribe the = £ 0 5s as in other districts in the Union." scribe the £5 5s as in other districts in the Union." It was resolved that a letter be written in reply stating that "the Beard do not expect b"l' committee to cover all the rural portion of Llysfaen parish, but they do expect them to include the village of Llysfaen and the whole of the- urban area.

BELIEF DISABILITIES. On the recommendation of the House Com- mitter the Board adopted the following re- solution: "That the Board of Guardians of the Conway Union is of opinion that all legal disabilities suffered by the recipients of Poor Law relief caused by temporary distress, should be removed." AN OBJECTIONABLE DESCRIPTION. It was resolved to support Choriton Union's resolution, namely, "That the Secre- tary ol State of the Home Department be requested to take immediate steps for tine deletion of the description 'pauper' patients in the notice of deaths form from county asylums, as such description is not only un- necessary, but absolutely objectionable and hurtful to the feelings of relatives at a time of deep distress and bereavement." An amendment proposed by Mr William Davies, and seconded by the Rev. Peter Jones, to the following effect was rejected: "That representations be made to the Local Government Board to take steps for the deletion of the description 'pauper' from all documents relating to persons receiving assistance from public funds, as such term is not only un- necessary but absolutely objectionable and hurtful to the. feelings of many deserving re- cipients and their relatives."

LLANDUDNO MARINE DRIVE. NO MORE TOLLS UPON PEDESTRIANS. A historic little oeie-rnony took place at Llan- dudno on Saturday morning when the famous Marino Drive around' the Great Ornie was djer olarod to pedestriana henceforth. Origi- nally liitlo more than a sheep's track, the beauti- M drive was converted into a passab'e carriage way over five miles in length by a private com- pany of wfliom th>ei lateMr T. T. Mark." was one of tho most enthusiastic mjeanber.fche necessary rights being obtained from the Mostyn Estate, who are still holders of considerable property an the Head. Thie making of the reed involved enor- iinoua labour for much of it had to be carved out of the :'o(Ùd¡ rock, wbelt presented then con- siderably greater diffkniities thpn it would in these duys of stOllIll drills and powerful cranes. In 1891 the thoroughfare was acquired by the Urban District. Ocm,nail at a cost of about £8.500, a sjx^cial Act of Parliament for its administra- tion costing ari additional £ 1,500. The Act em- powered the Council to impose tolls upon vehicles and pedestrians up to a. certain date in order to repay the ca.pita.l outlay, of wheh there yet re- mains £ 7,600." which will have to be repaid dur- ing the next 37 years. Up to the present the drive has cost the ratepayers abcrat DICO a year, but. that amount will new be increased by RWO, tSie amount annually paid in toils by pedfestrians. The period lor which the toll upon pediet-Arians was originally enforceable lla6 broil extended) on at least one occasion, but the Loe-al Government Boa.rd have been latterly urging- the Council to fulfil t:hel r obligations under tho Act, with the result that so far as foot passengers are con- cerned! tolls are to be no longer charged; the tolls upc.n vehicles will Lo withdrawn in due course. Tho formal "opening" cf the drive waa per- formed! by Mr WID. Jones, M.P., in the presence of a numerous gathering*, inolud ,ng Mr E. E. Bonel (eliairnvan of the Urban District* Council), Councillors R. Roberts, J. J. Marks, J. McMasier, Vollanr Btaamonfc. W. O. Williams, H. Ed'.vardis, the Clerk to the Council (Mr A. Con-oily), Mr John Owen (chairman of t'he Car- narvon County Cou.ne.), and Mr H. Woodhll (chairman of the Llandudno and District Liberal Association). Speaking from a temporary little staging fixed near tho Happy Valley cniranoe to the Drive, Mr Done briefly explained tho object of the meeting and forthwith called upon. Mr Wm. n,s to perform hi", fihare of the work, Mr Wm. Jones. M.P., who was well cheered at the outset, said!: I do -not think I need make a spordli this morning- (oriee: "Aye, aye" and go on fin Welsh"). This gtor.ou-s run is better than any erpeedh that I or anybody el xi can de- liver. It augurs well on this occasion that we start- the ceremony in the Ha.ppy Valley (hear, hear), known the worldl over as the 'home of minatrc'lijy, of talking age, and whispering lovers (tefualhfcer). I have heard t!he Marine Drive spoken of in conjunction with other amenities of Ll«ndUdno in Indilain the east, and) California in the west, and! not very long ago I received a beautivul letter f rom sonte German peopfe who had been here for three weeks, and their testi- mony to Llandudno, the Marine Drive, and the Great Orate was simply magnificent. (A voice: "And under Free Trade too" a-nd laughher). 'I'hi3 Marine Drive may not be tha longest in the world; it may not be the most perilous, al- though that qualification is attractive to timie people, but I can say that it is scarcely sur- pascad in Europe- in its lovelineaa (cheers). From whatever point of it you turn you can see the im-jestio sweep of the rea. and1 from any other point of vantage in its oourao you have open be- fore you a panorama of hill and mountain soerery of tho most stately splendour. Nature and the skill of man have combined to make it ono of the matdhiess drives* of Europe (cheers). Little children will enjoy it beat, and particularly now that it is going to be declared free of toll. I believe thai the Council has much to its credit for this work and visitor. as well a* Llandudno friends will bless them for many a day; (hear, hear). The Drive was purchased in 1897 from the Great Oitmc's Head1 Marino Drive Company, and it-v popularity with tihe public has been steadily on the increase. During the year end- ing MaraSi 31st jart over 80,000 people paid toll, so you can oee what a sacrifice this is for the Llandudno Council; it win in fact bo equal to a penny rate in the £ on the ratepayers. You won't forget that Lta.ndudi:w> is doing ita best ,-c for the visiters, and the public (hear, hear). I hop: my young fr.endt3 wiho have powers of sprinting will be using "thorn cai the Drive (laughter). It is tlie best phvee in the wocld: to develop rUrLning powers—in sunshine glorious, and frcan tihe wind! you get the ih81t,r of its carbonifoeous rcoks (hear, hear). "Dyna dd!igon a.iri byth" ejaculated' the -hon. member. I don't think I need say any iiore extent what a very gireafc pleasure it is to dcolara this Drive free of roll henceforth for ever—or as we say in Welsh "Tn'}' dwr yn rhed^g" (loud eheera). Mr W. Jones then descended from the platform, and after turning the key in the gate-look he eord'laUy wdloomcd aill into the Drive "free of charge." Thanks were voted: no hen. member on the motion of Mr MoMa/ter, seconded by Mr Rebt. Roberts. A rocket, was liredi to oelebrate the "freedom" of the Driviei.

Barest ord stated that the County Licen- 6in,rr Committee considered all the caæG before a summons was issued. Defendant pleaded that he had been to AbeT- gele for Chopping- purposes, and he produced a. number of accounts to prove this.

But as the defendant did not know t.ha.t a licence was necessary and as. he had taKen out a licence the. next, day they would dismiss the case. They hoped that the case would be a warning to other farmers that they must not carry passengers in their traps "Unless they had, licences.

Having been recently instructed they aeked for an adjournment. Supt. Beresford objected] to an adjournment, contending that the defendant had had plenty of time as the summons was served on JwIy 7th. Several witnesses were also in court. The Ben-ch decided to proceed with the care. P.C. J. F. Rowlands stated that at about 9 p.m. an Sunday, June 19:1, he saw a motor ca.r ooming from the lower village at a very high speed' and raising a cloud of dust. A large luimWr of people were coming- from and going to the seashore, and some were so frightened at too speed of the- car, that they ran to the side of the road. At the cross roadm witness attempted to get the number. He failed to get the front number, but he/ stooped down and! obtained tlie ba*:k number. As he did so a shower o f grit and stwae, struck him in the face. He 0 at- tempted to stop the defendant,, who was. driv- ing, but ftilm to do so. Defse-ndamt did rot JOe- duce speed, but proceeded to the ttpper vil- j lage. Peter Owen Davies, Pennington Terrace, Llanddiulas, said the car was driven 4f; such a great speed that grit from the road was driven against him. Hugh Williams and, John Davies gave oor- roborative evidence. In reply to tLo Bench, P.C.

Appropriately enough the geouts c1 a hived the rpeeia'i attention of the assembly during the next fifteen minutes, for it had been arranged that certain presentations should be made to certain of them during tho afternoon. On the previous afternoon the 1st and 2nd Colwyn Bay troops entertained t'he dhow patrons with a display representing an attack on a settler's camp by Indians. The "Indians" were well "got up" for the oocasKwi and the whole thing went off very satisfactorily, and ambulance work being neatly introduced. They now paraded under the supervision! of Scoutmaster Maeklin, an enthusi- astic worker on behalf of the movement, and' Mr Cairns, the chairman of the local committee, pro- sided over a happy little ceremony. Col. Sandbach, who superintends the work in the district was expected to take the principal part in the proceedings, but as Mr Cairns ex- plained, ho oculd rot attend, Mr Cairns pro- ceeded to say that one of the first things to do wa's LI), invest Scoutmaster Maeklin. with his warrant of office. Too warrant was signed by the Gaiet Scout, General Sir R. S. S. Baden Powell. LTnfortunately tlie other Saoutmaster (Mr F. T. Barker) and thc1 two assistant Sooutr masters (Messrs N. Tucker and G. Heard) were away, otherwise all three warrants would be presented together. At Mr Cairns' request Mrs Wm. Hoit-OTt for- mally presented Mr Maoklin with the document, the little act being performed midst loud: ap- plause. I Badlges were then presented 'to D. Clegg (ambulance), C. Carter (stalker), G. J. Smith (cyclist and patrol Leader), and F. Holmes (?<econd class badge). The most interesting* feature of the ceremony, however, was the investiture of Scout D. C. Jones of the Second Troop with a badge of merit for gallantry in stopping a runaway ho on Jul), 14th. The little hero is a mere child of about twelve years old and Mr Cairns explained that he had per.forrned the act in question at considerable persanal risk. The badge was pinned to the boy's tunic midst ioud ciseeTS by Mrs I Ior ton who a'so handed him tlie certificate of the Chief Scout acknowledging his bravery.
