Let the work be done with the best grace possible (hear, hear). Mr Chantrey: Mr Roberts may rest assured that- what can be done is being done, but it is llOt the WWI of the comrruitee to rush into legal .^spense to obtain satisfaction if it can be avoideij. Mr T.

Roberts: When the matter came blifore OriginAy we were told ti?c' coniiiitte,- should tic 6.

I don't want tO lunder the work, but I don't want the Ccun- cll to net before we have an opportunity of dis- cussinrr the scheme in detail. Tho Clerk pointed out that the Council h.^d ready adopted that paragraph in the cominit- n*u r0P01' deciding to proceed with tho work. C-»iairman added that that was merely Part of the original scheme which had boen bo- toro the Council for some months. The who;o !i:>g had been debated moro or less several wmes. Of course, they rotrd postpone it by vot- against the application suggested. Mr Pierce Jones SJid Mr R. Roberts was quile Correct because Mr Roberta had been given an undertaking from the Chairman of the Counril r that before the scheme went through an oppor- tunity would be given the Council of discussing it in detail. There would be no harm in delay- ing the application two or three days, and lIe moved that the matter bo referred to a meeting of the Council in committee, with power to act, so that full opportunity could be given to discuss it. Mr W. 0. Williams said ho would accept air Jones' suggestion, which was thereupon agreed to. DAMAGED STREET TREES. The Works Committee reported that the clerk had been instructed to take legal proceedings against a certain person on account of damage done to a street tree belonging to the Council. Mr Chantrey explained that that step had been taken because trees in various parts of the town were badly damaged from time to time. In that I _,o had been done b a hors,! instatice the damag y carelessly left by the man to do as it liked. Drivers frequently pulled up their horses under trees, and leit them to maul the foliage and the branches unchecked. The tree in question had been so badly damaged that the committee de- ided to ? 'gli'?Nirav (hear, ',icar). c ct stral The Chairman said the summons had been al- ready delivered, and the man referred to and two or three others would appear at the next magis- trates' court. Mr T. W. Griffith said it was very premature to institute legal proceedings before the step was sanctioned by the Council. The case in question appeared to him—he did not know the facts-to be very trivial, and a word of caution seemed to be all that was necessary. They generally cau- tioned every defaulter, but the committee had apparently gone headlong into an action against a poor working man, who earned probably 18s or 20s per week. H:, questioned the legality of the committee's action. The Chairman: For many years we have re- ceived complaints about damage committed in tins way by horses left without supervision. It is all right to talk about harshness to poor work- ing men, but let us not forget that we have a duty to do to the ratepayers in general. We have spent some hundreds of pounds upon trees, etc., to beautify our streets, and they should be adequately protected from damage (hear, hear). Mr W. 0. Williams said that if the Council placed wire-netting round all the trees there would be no complaints. He moved that the action be withdrawn, and that notices be sent out warning people that they would prosecute in future. Mr D. Davies remarked that that would be of no use, as there were notices to that effect on almost every tree at present. If it was worth the Council's while to plant the trees it was worth while taking action against individuals who did not care a rap whether the trees grow or not. Mr W. H. Jones agreed, and added that one prosecution would prove more efficacious than a cartload of notices. By nine votes to fdur it was eventually de- cided to approve the committee's action. WEST SHORE IMPROVEMENT. The committee recommended the adoption if Messrs Evan Hughes and Son's tender at €929 for the erection of public lavatories on the West Shore. The total cost was estimated at S1053 12s 6d, but as the Council had S316 already in hand for the work. Only £718 would be wanted to meet the account. Mr R. Roberts said he protested against that sort of procedure. They could not possibly got the lavatories ready for this season, and the Jom- mittee should surely give the Council an oppor- tunity to consider the scheme proposed. People talked about signing blank cheques, and it wes a very serious thing to sign a blank cheque f'r £7000, as was suggested by the committee. They were becoming more and more unconstitutional every month, and it was time they improved upon their present business methods. Mr T. W. Gritnth agreed, and argued that that was surely a matter of sufficient importance to be referred to the Council in committee. Some members were that day in a mood to dfwl with thousands of pounds aa though they wc re so many hundreds. They had been already ashed to sanction the expenditure of £ 8000, and now they were asked to allow the spending of a fur- ther JE1003 without reasonable consideration. He did not know what the ratepayers of Llandudno would think about it in view of the expenditure on other schemes looming in the distance. Mr W. H. Jones said they were repeatedly tolc! that the Works Committee were not acting in good time, and now that the committee tried to proceed with that scheme in sufficient time to have the work carried out by next season they were again criticised. There had been abundant chances to consider the scheme. Mr R. Roberts was with the committee when they went down to see the site, and his recommendation then had had as much weight in determining the committee's action as that of anyone else. The scheme had been before the Council and ti < committee for a long time, and there was nothing new about the committee's proposals. If those ,,s were to be prov-ided for the (,ra,igyl-)n thing district there would be no objection whatever to them (cries of "Withdraw" and "Order"). No, said the speaker, I won't withdraw (cries of "Withdraw"). There is no doubt about it. Every facility would be given to carry them out at Craigydon, but all Borti( of objections are raised because they are for the West Shore. Mr Sarson remarked that the plans wore not signed by any member outside the committee. Mr Wm. Thomas said the Council had decided upon the site for lavatories. It appeared to hiin as though there were a serious attempt to dish all the work of the Works Committee in its pre- sent form, for everything it attempted to do was taken out of its bands and placed in charge of another committeo. Mr D. Davies: I am very much surprised that Mr Roberts should raise this matter now. Mr Roberts was on the committee at one time, It.Jd he said he would like to have a word to say about the site Mr R. Roberts On a point of order, if the committee told ua this was the aaine scheme as WAS before us twelve months ago it would modify the vi-ews of some of us. Mr D. Davies added that Mr Roberts was one of those who selcet-ed the spot where the lavatory was to be-. The Chairman said there were more than two years since he was commissioned to see l'or that site from the Ecclesiastical Com- missioners. Mr Chantrey And I can assure Mr Roberts that. there has been no scheme before the Council for the laf-t two years other than this one. I propos-e that the Council be empowered to proceed with it ct onoe. Mr Sarson seconded, and this W3 agreed to, it being- further resolved to apply to tho LocaJ Government Board for sanction to borrow the neoeasary money. A STREET NAME. The question of changing the name "North Madoe-street to that of Arfon-avenue" was deferred for further consideration. PREPARATIONS FOR FOOTBALL. A letter was read from the secretary to the Amateurs Football Club agreeing to pay the prOjX>sed increased rent for the football pitch m the field, and asking that the propoaedi levelling work may be done forthwith. For- inal application was also made for the use of the pitcll on Good Friday. It was decided that the clubs arrange amoiigst themselves as to play on Good Fri- day and Easter Monday. NEW ROAD AT CRAIGYDON. The Works Committee reported meeting at Sylva Gardens, Craigydon, and discussing with Mr Hill, en amended plan submitted by him of the proposed new road at the north side of the new houses recently erected by him, facing Carmen Sylva-road, and after thorough consideration and inspection of the site it was resolved "That the plan originally submitted be approved of so far as the same r<lla.tca to the line of the ro,%d abii,.tin,?, on Mr Hill's propertv, a plan sho-ing tlio'pre- &?it proposal to he del s;tEd." 'Me t a,, adop?-i. pl?IN ?YW NSIDE? WATER 'UPPLY. The Water and Gas Committee reported that at a special meeting th-c Chairman (Mr W. Thomas) reported that on the 18th ult. rep -t cotr he h. -eiv-e -munication from tll,3 Penvhvn Parisli Council appealing for a water supply for Penrhynside. He, with Mr W. O. Williams and Mr J. McMaster, met at tho Town Hall to discuss the situation, and owing to the urgent nature of the application he had instructed the engineer to make a temporary connection to the Penrhynside main with the Llandudno water main. I'hA, Parish Cloitucil, by rc- ',on on tile -,oluti 21st, undertook to pay for the supply until the next meeting of their Council. Tho committee approved of the action taken by the Chairman, and it was decided that should application be made to the committee for a permanent supply of water they would, subject to tho Council's legal ability; to do

LLANDBTJLAS CHURCH HOUSE. COUNTESS OF DUNDONAiLD LAYS FOUNDATION STONE. PARISHIONERS IN HARMONY. Wikile openiofr a bazoar in the Lhuxidulas sohooh-oom, about twelve months ago, tne Caan- tess of Duodonald called attention to the desira. bility of providing the parch with a Church House, and said she was particularly anxious that such an insutution would, be put uip as bad been fufrnrshed at St. Asaipih a short tane previ- ously. Canon Roberts, the rector of pa1" then announced that the working men of the vil- lage had volunteered to devote their Saturday afternoons to digging the foundation for such a buikilisg. whereuipon her ladyship said that inae much as the working men took such an interest in the movemerfit ahe woutd give the necessary land and eoun-L, stone. Thus encouraged, Canon Roberts promptly aet about carrying the echeme to a practical issue, and on Saturday the Counters of Duindonaid had the personal gratification of laying the founda- tion stone of the building. The site is admiraJbly and centrally situated, and when competed the Church Houie wiill be a standing monument not only of the Countess of Dundomaid's geneiroeity bud of a recnark able instance of a harmonious erfiort on the part, of the parishioners in general. Up to date Non- conformists h3. perhaps played as prom-neat a part. in the edheine as the members of the Es- t-abiasbed Church. Led by the Rector and his curates, ail of whom ha.v plied the pick-axe and ehovelj memiburs of aid denomination^ have wiL iirigly sacrificed thea- weilL-won hoaoe of leisure to preparing tine foundations and clearing the ground, thus saving a. conisideraible expenditure on manual labour. Indeedi throughout the community there hiaa bee-n a piractioai in- terest maaiifeoied in the progire^ of the work. The estimated cost of the Church House, in- ci'itdi-ng lighting, beating and furnishing is from the Couuteai of Dundonaid the promoter,3 were gratuitously safpjjlied with all the xseoeeoary lima by Messrs Kneaihaw, Lupton and Co., Mr liup. ton giving the handsome dopaAoon cd JB300. Mr Harold Hughes, A.R.I.B.A., Bangor is the architect; Messrs Isaac Roberts and Son, A>bergcle, the bulking oontractors; and Messrs Mueguade and Co., Behfastj the heating ocffKrac- tom, whilst Mr J. S. CheiiihaiS, acta aa clarl- of works. The following serve on the Building CctIn- mittee Canon C. F. Rcibeirti (chairman). Rev. J. W. Thomai:, Mr Wm. Lupton, Mr W. Wel. Icfiley Humbly, Mr Hsissey, Mr Lnghfi, Mr J. S. Cheiihail, Mr Richard Jon-ess, Mr R. B. Roberts a-rid Air B. 1L Jonee (hon. secretary). The \vorkung Men's Oo include Mr R. B. liaberiB (chairman), Mr Price Fautkes (hon. treasurer), Mr Hugh Hughes (hon, oecpetary), Messrs Robert Wuiiaans, Hugh EVCES, Ihotaaa Williams, Evan Evans, John Jones (Maesilyn), David Jones (Brigvdon), Wm. Evase, and Edwin Willi arm. Happily, the weather was favourable far the oeresnony, arnd there was a iairge and representa- tive attendance. The Countesa of Dund(ral-d was accompanied by the Hon. Rdhin Cadbnane, Lady Jean Cochrane and Lady Marjorie Coch- rane. There v, ore also present the Rector (Cainon Rc/berte), Archdoacon Lloyd. Rhyl; Canon Jones, cf Abergeie; the R.ector of Llya- fiaan (Rev. D. Lewis), Canon Trevor Owen, of Bodelwyddan; Rev. Ll. A- Richards, Old Coi- wyn; Rev. J. W. Thornaa, curate, Lianddwlaa; Rev. D. R. Griffith, curate, Abergele; Riw. R. D. Hughes, curai?e, ColWYll Bay; Mr J. Ingiis, Abergeie; and Mr Huffy, Llandduias. The local company of aeou-ts render Scout- nuister R. H. Hughes, formed up a guard of honour aa the Countess of DundonaJd made her way to and fiom the site. The Rector carried out the special eervioe, "Ali people that on ear^h do dwell" being- sung by the gathanmg as an opening hymn, to the ac- oompaniinent of the Ljandduina Silver Band. After the Rector had oit'erod prayer basoeching Divine blessing upon the building, The architect Harold Hug-ises), on behalf of the committee, presented a silver trowel' to the builder (Mr llcbert^), a mallet to the Counteoi, who formally performed the neat little y-'n, "in raayNe of (??d & f a I 4,e, Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, w, lay thi-3 memorial stone praying ty &t here the true fainih, tix, fkar of God. and brotherly love may ever dwell." "PIONEER" UNDER THE STONE. The Rector explained t-o the assembly that in a cavity under the foundation stone had been d-opoiited a tablet bearing the names of the men who had worked on the foundations; photographs from the current issue of the "Pioneer, acid a d-wi y Dcwgpaiper, as we'J id some ooinj dated this year. Proceeding, the Rector said about J6682 had been already subscribed t-awaxda the building fund, but they wan.ted. JE600 more. When they bogan thinking -aibout tho Ccurch House eighteen months ago they hardly thought they would have been able to enter ul).on tln very important work to soon, and if it were not for the gener- 'n ous h?elp ed actrio ki d fritiads p,obaNy Uley would not have done so. The a-dmirabde site and some of the stone, so most of thenn were aware, were present-od by the Counter of Dundonaid, and a generous donation of JB500 had been given by Mr Lupton. All classes of people m 11, parish had taken a doap interest in the work, and several working men had apetit their spare time last winter excavating the site, a no small work, whxh saved about £ 25 in the labour bill Moreover, othor friends had carried out me cart- ing gratuitously. It wai ra.ther late in the day to say anything a, to the necessity of church houses, becauue they were springiiug- ùíj) ill round them; at that very hour the beginning of a church house was being- oeiobratod at Penniaeu- mawr. while the Jritle village of Cape] Jrarm u wad aJfready thus equipped. He noped that when the new building was competed t would grve strength to the social life of tho C>Hiroh iri tlie viiiage, and prove of lasting benefit generations to eoine. He invibed their liberal donations tlxit afternoon to enable JLJe eoinnirtee to wine out the large deficit 6ti: 1 romaimng for a email- a-nd not very if-ch parish. After a ooLection, Archdeacon Lloyd proposed thanks to the Oüunroæ for her kuxi y oltioevs during the after- noon. The great personal interest which her lady- ship took in the parish generaiiy, and in any- thing that affected the Church in the parish would have made the part sh-0 had taken in the ceremony a delight to her. A Churcih House was uow almost uieL:spen-,able to efficient pariah work. The schools had bcoome increasingly ckJBoult for any practical Ur3'C ior periah purpoeeii. Too complexity introduced irrio their nsanage- ment, and tiuQ^difhc-u ty of apportioning the various small expmloi in oannection with light- ing, bring and craning between two hostile I autiliorities irM-d-a it uirioet impossible to use the building to any groat extent for cchor than edu- cation pirrpares. Then in, the NEW FASHION IN FURNISHING, tho schools incroaised the difficuettLes. Time was when they had a stat", y bench for edaolars, that j might be oomvorted almost to any use, but now dzepper little desks had been introduced—made apparently, very much like church oa^ocks, to of ov43r I-,d .y ch' no t::? could be made of them impart from that of the scholars purely and si imply. However, tho echoad were furnished for tho dhtidren, and they did not oontplain of that, but admits h-ed lost much in consequence. Again, they were no ? r. 'Itu? o.gle?r SatL&fied with (- ?e-h &rvioa one diay a week to furtiier the work of the Cburdh. There were several organisations, such aa mothera* unions, girls' guilds, and raoa's eociettei, asso- ciated with the work, and for them they must provide facKliti-ej for meeting or working, 61> that in almo6t every par-ch there waa need for a church house. He hardly need congratutiate Llanddulau upon the projpect of having such a ooauortable and ad^Kj^uiaie building. It was practically a fact already, thanks larg^Jy to too Countess of Dundortiid, and: it would interest some of tbam to remember tlhat tw ikidy^hip began that kind of work very early iei her li £ e, for there were other chure,h buifdingg in the locality testifying both to her nruntfjeenoe and her active Church work. Mr Hisffy seconded. ) The Rector, in supporting remarked that the Countess had not limited too committee to the amount of latnd they took for the site.

so, supply water to Penrhynside upon equit- able terms. At a subsequent meeting o f the com- mittee it was decided to provide a temporary supply at the following rates per onnum: Is per 1000 gallons up to 1,000,000 gallons in any one year, 9d per 1000 gallons for all quantities supplied over 1,000,000 in one year; a meter rent of 7s 3d per quarter to be paid. together with the cost of fixing the meter and removing it when not required; all costs incurred in making the connection, the Council not to be required to lay down any tjpecio.1 mains for the purpose, and "the above arrangement to be terminable at any time." Mr W. O. Williams remarked that the Penrhyn people could not continue paying the Council Is per 1000 gallons as well as pay the Cowlyd Board water rates. The Clerk said the Parish Council now "wrote asking the Llandudno Council to modify their charges, and suggesting that, instead of paying by meter, they paid on the rateable value on the same terms as the Cow- lyd Board. The pioscnt price was a great hardship upon & small and poor parish, and the interests of the parish were becoming more and niolo tho interests of Llandudno, and what was of benefit to one area benefited, the other. Mr W. O. Williams moved that the Coun- cil acquiesce to the application of the Parish Council, charging for the water on the rate- able value. The Chairman said that point had been dis- cussed fully before the present arrangement was decided upon. Mr Williams: Yes, but not before the Council. 'He suggested that it be referred back to the Water Committee. Mr W. II. Jones, while not saying against modifying the charge, objected to paying on the rateable value. .The Chairman I don't think this Council has any power to charge on the rate-able value. It was eventually decided to refer the mat- ter back to committee. It was resolved to lay a new 3-inch water main for supplying the district of Nantv- gamar, which is'within a few hundred yards oi the Penrhynside hill-tcp, at a cost of £ 125, the work not to be commenced till after the October meeting of the Council, so that the arrangements for supplying Penrhynside may mature. GAS COAL YIELD. The Gas Committee recommended that 600 tons of Swanick Cannel be purchased. Mr Pierce Jones, in the course of a long speech, proposed that only sufficient be pur- chased to carry on the work un- til the end of September. He argued that the yield from the coal at present in use at the gasworks was unsatis- factory, remarking that whereas the coal used previously turned out a certain quantity of gas without the use of either cannel or ben^oil the present coal produced, less even though cannel and benzoil were used to sup- pk-ment it. Tiie motion was seconded by Mr Chantrey, and carried, Messrs Beaumont and D. Davies voting against it. A COMPLETED CONTRACT. The Gas Manager reported that the con- tract had been completed for the erection of retort house governors tar extractor, oon- den&or and connections on the 14th of July, being 21 days over and above the agreed time. The amount of the estimate for the work was .£600, and the actual cost including ex- tras was £ 586 19s lid. It was resolved "that in order to cover addi- tional cost incurred by the Council in consequence of the work not being completed within the specified time, the sum of £ 5 be deducted from the balanoe due on the contract." UNREASONABLE WATER CHARGE. Mr Sarson raised the question of amending the existing regulations with regard to water charges imposed on lock-up shop pro- prietors, and, in moving that the committee be asked to consider the edvisability- of re- ducing the charges, he remarked that there were some such premises in the town where there were no sanitary conveniences, and where the only water used was that utilised to wash the floors and windows. Yet such premises were x-,sessm at a'bout £ 200 a year. L He knew of one shop paying o. water rate of X10. When the amount of water u&ed would not be more than 00 buckets per week. i Mr Vollam seconded, and the motion was carried unanimouslv. A CLOSED INCIDENT. The report of the- Bye-Laws Committee con- tained the following paragraph:—■ "Tho Clerk submitted correspondence which had taken plaoe between the Chairman of the Council and the solicitor and manager of the Motor land Garage Company. The letter of tho manager was accepted as closing the incident." Mr Pierce Jones moved that "tlie whole history of this eo.ne be explained to thte Council, and a\so that the letters be read." He said he felt • that tho dignity of the Council was as much aff-ected in that matter as the dignity of the Bye-laws Committee. He told them a month ago, when the Coun- cil granted the company permission to run their char-a-banc round the town, that he had no objection to their running an ad- vertising car, but he urged that concessions of that character should not have been made to people after a certain date when the Coun- cil accepted an invitation to an excursion on the company's cars. He assured them at the time that he had no intention of going on such excursions in future — daughter)—and he was laughed at. Now it had come to those le tters. Mr H. Edwards seconded, and said it was only fair that the letters should be read to the Council as well. Mr Sarson (chairman of the committee) re- plied that it would not be to the interest of the Council to have them read. There had been no loss of dignity on one side or an- other. If an offence wa,s committed by a person, and that person offered an apology a gentleman would accept the apology and end the matter (hear, hear). Mr Roberts said Mr Pierce Jones was the highest authority on the whole question be- fore th-em--(Iaughter)--why-, therefore, waste any time in discussing it now? (hear, hear, and laughter). Mr W. H. 'Jones jocularly recommended that the matter be referred to the Council in committee. Mr W. O. Williams: I propose that it be the Cemetery Committee (loud laughter). There was general laughter as the Coun- cil decided on a show of hands to refer the question to committee. UNSATISFACTORY PROMENADE LIGHTING. Mr R. Roberts ,asked Mr Pie roe Jones (chairman of the Lighting Committee) whether some arangement was to be made to provide better lighting for the Promenade, which he thought was quite unsatisfactory for a place depending so much upon the autumn season. Mr Pierce Jones replied that the committee were endeavouring to bring the lighting1 ri,ht -up to th?e required mark. Z:,Dnti.nuing, Afr Pierce J?on,?? m<),ved that ii,cati n be mad?e to the local Gov-ei-ii- a -pp, 1<) ment Board for sanction to borrow £ 2320 for the execution of certain works—including fixing two mechanical stokers—in connection with the electricity undertaking. Mr Chantrey seconded, and this was agreed to. LIBRARY FURNISHING FUND. The Library Committee recommended "That the Chairman of the Council and the Chairman of the committee (Mr R. Roberts) be asked to follow up their printed appeal for subscriptions for the furnishing of the Library by personal calls upon the members of the Council and other likely subscribers, and that this committee meet again in two weeks' time to consider what further action shall be taken. In reply to a question, Mr R. Roberts now reported that only X40 had been received for the Library furniture, and he appealed to his colleagues for subscriptions. LLANDUDNO-OOLWYN BAY NEW ROAD. -iitt,4 i spcci.,Ll oymn appoiited t-h refer- ence to the proposal to provido a new public road from Penrhyn Bay to Rhos-on-Sea re- ported that "the committee interviewed the Chairman of the Carnarvonshire County Council in reference to the steps which are being taken to obtain a fre-e road communi- cation between Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. It was explained at the meeting that the County Council have appointed a committee to consider a scheme to be placed before the Road Board in furtherance of an applica- tion, it is proposed to make to the Board for a grant, and it was suggested that to strengthen the application it would be advis- able for the authorities through who (Us- trict the Toad runs, to meet at the "locus in quo" in order to discuss the best means of improving the road communication between the two places. It was therefore decided to invit-e th-o followin4, repres-antativm to mcvt on Wednesday next, the 17th inst., at 2.30 in the afternoon, at the Rhos Golf House^ n.amcly -Four members of the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council, four members of the Carnarvonshire County Council, one member of the Penrhyn Parish Council, two mem- bens of the Conway Rural District Council, and four members of the Llandudno Urban District Council, together with Mr Horton," the owner of the new road along the sea- shore. The Clerk now reported upon the confer- ence, stating it had been decided to refer the plans and particulars relating to two alternative rout-es before the County Councils, and that the Surveyor's Committeoe of the Carnarvonshire Council would consider th-y matter on following day (Saturday;, when Mr Ward, tho assistant surveyor, would attend on behalf of the Llandudno Council. SICK PAY. On the motion of Mr (Pierce Jones, it was resolved that in future the namies of all offi- cials and employees in receipt of sick pay be inserted in the Finance Committee's minutes. MARINE DRIVE TOLLS. Mr U. Edwards pointed out that though pedestrians were now allowed to use the Marine Drive free of toll, hasinettes end baby cars were charged for at the rate of 2d each. He moved that the committee took into consideration the desirability of remov- ing that regulation. This was at onoo agreed to. BANDMASTER'S APPOINTMENT. It was reported that 36 applications had been received for the position of leader of the town band in connection with which office the applicant would be called upon to render other service to the town, and the committee recommended the selection of Mr F. Tre- verey, of Barrow-in-Furness, 1; ■ ■ t. the matter was xef-erred back to commit tt-e. NEW POLICE STAliuN. The County Council wrote stating that the selection of a suitable site for the new Police Station at Llandudno had been referred to a deputation, and it was decided that the whole Council met the County Council deputation to discuss the scheme. THE TRAMWAY. The Light Railway Company wrote notify- 'Ing the Council of the' intention 3'r to app for an extension of th-e time limit for the completion of their line to Deganwy, and the far end of Abergele-road, Colwyn Bay. The letter was referred to committee. NATIONAL SERVICE LEAGUE. It was resolved that Major Townsend Logan be anted the use of a part of the (?ouncil fl"U for the purpos-e o'?' conducting a public xaek-,ting p,omotcd 'ii the interests 1 of the National Service League. INVESTITURE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES. At the close, Mr R. Roberts pointed out that there appeared to be a battle between Cardiff and Oarcxarvon with regard to the venue for the investiture of the Prince of Wales. He acknowledged the commercial and oth-er supremacy of Cardiff, but Carnar- von better deserved the Llandudno Council's helping hand, and he moved that they sup- ported tho Carnarvon application. Mr W. O. Williams seconded, and this was unanimously carried. LOCAL LABOUR EXCHANGE WANTED. The Clerk reported that he had been in correspondence with the Clerk to the County Council with regard to the establishment of a Labour Exchange at Llandudno. It was resolved that application be made for th-e establishment under the Labour Ex- change Act, 1909, of a Labour Exchange at Llandudno, and that a copy of this resolu- tion be forwarded to the Carnarvonshire County Council, and to the Divisional Officer.
