West Denbighshire Conservative Association. Meeting at Colwyn Bay. A MEETING c'f ConserVatf ves and Liberal Union- ists was held under the auspices of the West Denbighshire1 Conservative Association, at the Consrit-ut-ional Oluib, Cokvyn Bay, on Wednes- day afternoon, when there was a most satis- factory attendance. The chi'.ef s'peaiker was ool. Wynne Edwards, of Denbigh, and: the chair was ta,],;ei-i,;bv Dr. J. E. Brooks, Coliwyn Bay. After Nine Years.' Absence. Colonel 11-yiane Edwards, who, on rising, was greeted with loud japplauise, said that after an absence of nine years it afforded hum the great- est pleiasure tfo be amo'ng them tagain. He noiticed thait there was a nuimlbe'r of strange faces among thtose present, (which showed that a greati -dhange had come over the constitaency since 1895. A number of fffiends and (enemies mu/dit have gone, and fresh friends and fresh enemies must have Icome in their places, and he had hopes that the majority of enemies: mdg'h't have been reduced, and eventually hiave arrived at ¡a vanishing point. lie Oould not hlave a greater pleasure .than to fight t'he seait— (applause) -¡hut family and' other reasons made it impossi- blie for him to do. so. The. Conservatives were not disheartened, and in1 tended finding someone to fight., and wnth ,'thiat objaat: in view they had obtained assistance of Mr Jenkins, wlho had j been ,seleced üult of a number of applicants to go round) and stir things up, and organise gener- ally. Colwyn Bay was the leading place, and contained! ;one-itenth off the voters of the w'hole constxtu«npy. ThEre was a large number of Conserva'ti ves, and if they were not k-epit together it vI-as owing to the lack olf proper organisation. There were plenty of men who did' not know their colours, and wanted looking up. Method and Organisation Wanted. Whialt they lacked was some definlite system, which, tthey should arrange and ,carry out as their opponents did. It was impassible for anyone 'to say h'ow far off a political contest was, and when the fiscal question had been discussed a lilttle further t'he country would be ready. There was one other question which occupiedl considerable attention, and that was the educa- tion question. In England the new Act had come into forlce, and if it had a fair trial here it would1 work equally well. T'he, only way to get a trial of the Act was Ito get a imajonity on the County .Conned. Therefore, the next election otf tlhait body would be most important, and he hoped) Colwyn Bay would set an example to th-e rest of 'the constituency. There appeared tlO be a great (question between, the Nonconformists and the Church on the matter. In order to show th.s attitude of the ultra-Calvinistiite Methioddstis in regard to the Act), he would give tlhem an in- stan,cie, of a man who had occupied various im- portant position,s in a certain parish, and who had, got into disgrace owing to his conduct with a girl he had' in his employ. Notwithstanding ,that this -was, known, he was again made chair- man of the School Board, a-nid re-instated! .in;' other offices. (Cries of "Shiame,") In aoui- tion ito, the Edaicational Bldl, the Radicals had directed great attention to the War Office, and tibese two subjects seemed to occupy their miimds. With regard to the War Office, he thought the Government had come .to ithesa.me opinion as the Radiüa,lls-th'at it wanted retfor.ming, and they were taking steps to dto that. They had ap- pointed a Royal Commission, and had acted on ■their report. A new .Secretary of Stalte for War had been appointed in the pertson oif Mr Arnoldi Foster, who, he thought, was ttbe best .man they could get. A Negative Policy. The policy of the liberal's appeared! to be entirely negative in all things. With regard to t'he fiscal question, they seemed to think that what served some eighty yeaTs ago would! meet the requirements of the country in the present day. Personally, he entirely agreed with. Mr Chamberlain's policy, and was a believer in fee line he advocated, even long before Mr Chaanher- ladn himself took it up. He had spoken a lot on the question otf Free Trade, and at one meet- ing was thle only one on his side. (Laughter.) He thought the farmers were prepared to sup- port Mr Chamberlain's policy. He doubted whether t11<ey-wouldpaT;t the church and chapel question at onice, and go in for, it, but he thought they would eventually. There were three im- portant ways at looting at the fiscal question, viz., frloau an Impen:al, general business, and' an agricultural1 'view. Imperially, if they did not adopt it, they would be running the risk af Canada accepting the perpetual offer of Amenica to join her, owing to the be/tter tlerms she offered. From a business point of view, it would protect our own trade, and prevent such terrible blows as the tinplate and other industries had sus- tained. Thirdly, it would provide a better market1 for the farmer to send his pxod/uce to. Alftex an. address, by Mr D. Jenkins, orgapis,i:ng secretary, the .meeting then reiSlolvedt itsedf into committee, and an influential body was fonne.dl for it-he purpose of perfecting the organisation of the town and districft Conservatives. The usual votes of thanks' to Col. Edwards for his speech, and to Dr. J. E. Brooks for pre- siding, concluded ttbe meeting.

0. 1 Llandudno Pier Company. Season to Commence at the End of March. THE annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Llandudno Pier Company was held at the Pier offices on Saturday, Dr W. R. Nicol pre&id- ing. The report and balance sheet were adopted. Mr Stephen Dunphy and Mr Douglas Jones, the retiring directors, were re elected, and Mr Aadoniah Evans was re-appointed auditor. In the course of his speech, explanatory of the various items contained in the balance sheet which we published last week, the chairman said they had expended during the last year £3,600 on the landing stage and kiosks, such work being absolutely necessary. The kiosks were a good investment, and increased the stability of the pier. He had roughly calculated that in fifteen years they had laid out on their property not lees than £20,000, and this, with an uninter rupted dividend of 12 per cent for many years, was no small feat. At the eame time they had the satisfaction of knowing that the structure was more snbJe and much more capacious than when it was newly constructed. Ho would fore- cast that in fiva years, if all went well, and no disaster overtook them, they would be in a position to pay at least) 15 per cent. (Applause.) The great feature of the concerts was the excell- ence of the orchestra's musical renderings, under the able and energetic conductorship of Mr Payne. The music season would commence on M-xrch 3 with Mr Payne and a large orchestra. and celebrated vocalists during Ea-ter week, after which the orchestra would be reduced for a time, and again augmented in June and continued until the end of September. (Applause.) Mr W. Bevan seconded the motion, which was carried. Mr T. Gordon proposed that the directors' re- muneration be as usual zCtiOO, and this was carried. Votes of thanks were passed to Mr S. Hughes, the secretary, Mr Payne, the conductor, and the Chairman.

♦ — Llandudno and its County Council Representation. Strong ';ase for an Increase. Local Government Board Inquiry. THE vexed question concerning the inadequate representation of Llandudno upon the Carnar- yom-shire County Council was ionce more venti- laite.d at the Llandudno Town Hall, on Wednes- day, when ÔIr, Edmund, Pearse Burd held' a Local Government Board inquiry into the applitea'aon made to t'he coumty authority some months ago. At present, -the urban district of Llandudno is represented by two county councillors, and the local authority made a-representation in favour of doubling that number. The county authority held an inquiry into the matter through; a com- mittee, and tbety were now prepared' to give the district one' additional me.miber instead of two, as requested. The local authority further asked that the dlis- trict be re-arranged into three electoral divisions, to. be named the, Llandudno Western. Electoral (D'ivdslion, the Ll'amdudno Eastern Electoral Di'visd'on, and the Llianduldno Central. Elecltorall i).vis:on, inlstead of two as heretofore. The proicee:dings were well-attended, the fol- 0 lowing appealing in their public capadiui'es, County Councllors J. Jones Morris (chairman of the Parliamentary Committee of the County Council), C. A. Jones (ex-chairman of the County Council), Richard Conway (representa- tive for Llandudno), John Owen (also representa- tive for Llandudno), with the, Clerk to the County Council (Mr J. T. Roberts); Messrs Robert Roberts, John. Jones, J. J. Marks, E. E. Bone, J. 0. Thomas, T. W. Griffiths, Ellis Jones, J, MfcMaster, E. Thorp, W. 0. Williams, W. ibevan, S. Chantrey (members olf the Llandudno Urban District Council), with the Clerk (Mr Conolly), and Engiineer (IMr Paley Stephenson); Messrs John) Roberts, Roger Dawson, and cithers. At the outset, Mr J. T. Roberts ib-iiiiefly ex- plained. the nature of the. application made by tbe local authority, and stated the County Coun- oil objected to granting four representatives to Llandudno, for the reason that three members would meet the necessities of the case. The numbers of electors in the two, extisting divisions were 751 and 899, and even as things were now lit was only what was characteristic of other parts of the county. He would cite the case of Llanddeinion as an, instance, while the Llysfaen division, was another. ilIIoæover, the County Council felit that if the application made by Llandudno were granted the whole of th-e- county would have to be re-arranged in the matter of representation. He would a!dd, an conclusion, that the. applicants, attached considerable im- portance to the fact that the rateable value of Llandudno was very high, and, as the, presiding' officer was aware, rateable value was no ground ait all to. be considered in such a case. The Inspector: Quite so. Rateable value is no ground. Mr Jones Morris, chairman of the Parliament- ary Committee in connection with the County1 Council, concurred with what had been said bv Mr J. T. Roberts. -,¡ Llandudno's Case. Mr ConoMy, clerk to the Llandudno Urban District Council, then stated, the case for the local governing body. He said' the Llandudno Urban District Council were opposed to the represencat on, which had been made to the Local Government Board, on the broad ground that the proposed increase was totally inadequate I to remedy the inequality of representation whdcih wow exasiyed! between LI-andudno and the remain- ing divisions of the countv. I ■Section. 5a of the Local Government Act, 1888, provided, that the division shall be ar- ranged with a view to the populaition of each division 'being, so nearly as, conveniently may 'be, equal, regard being had to a proper repre- sentation both, of the rural and of the urihan population, and! to the distribution and pursuits of such population, and to area, and to the last publdshied census for the time being, and to evi- dence of any considerable change of population sinbe such census. Comparative figures would show t'hafc the number of representatives of Lilan- dudno at present 'was very much below what it should be, andi that the propos.al of the County Council! would; not overcome, the disparity which existed, and. that the spirit 0f section 51 just quoted was not observed, nor was ilt proposed /chat .it. should be observed. A comparison with Bangor and Carnarvon, the two boroughs which are entitled to return four members, showed that the present: .average representahdon. according- to the; population of 1901, was as follo,ws:- Baimgor, 1 for every 2,817 of the population Car- narvon, i for every 2,431 of the population; and Llandudno, i for every 4,653 of the population. If the proposal of the County Council was adopted, and three menib-ers only granted to Llandudno, there would still exist a greafc dis- parity, and Llandudno, district would then only have one representative for every 3,102 of the population. Whereas, if am order was made fo-r four representatives, the percentage would be one to every 2,327 of ithe population, which would place Llandudno in a srtate of equality with Carnarvon. A further comparison with other divisions in the county also showed that the proposal of the County Council was not an equitable one. For~examp>le, there were the fol- lowing 'districts:—Befchesda had a representa- tive for every 2,640 of the population; Ynyoscyn- haiarn, i, 2,414; Criccdeth, i, 1,405; Pen'tir, i, 2,252; AbF-"r and 'Llan-Il,ecjh,d, i, 1.448; Llanfair- isgaer, i, 1,725; Waenfawr and Llanfaglan, i, 1,942; Llangian and Llanengan, i, 1,919; Bedd- gele.rt 'and Treflys, 1, 1,570; Aberdaron and three other parishes, i, 1,790. The, population of Llandudno was increasing probably air as great, if not a greater, raite than z, any other district in the county, and for that reason, if no other, the district should receive generous .treatment'at the hands cf the County Council. lit should also be noted that popu- lation c!f Lil,andudno was aboult one-tourteenth part of the. whole counlty. So far, lie had referred"only to the question of population, bUi' there are other matters which, according to the Act, must be taken into con- sideration for example, .the pursuits of the population, and I submit that this has a bearing upon the rateable value. The mo.re important the pursuits of a district, the greater the rate- able value, and consequently >the greater the contribution of that district to the county rates. He would now menltiom one or two facts con- nected with the rateable value. The rateable value of Llandudno, according to the county rate basis, was £ 93,558, or 68,333 over and aobove the rateable value of Bangor and Carnarvon combined—Ithe two boroughs- which, belt ween them, returned eight) -members to the County Council. County Rateable Value. The total rateable value of the counlty, ac- cording to the county rat'e basis was s-talted to be £ 641,074, so Ithat Llandudno might be said to contrirburtenearly one-sixth .part of the whode of the rates of the county, whilst it had representa- tion only equal to one-twenty-fourth part, which it was now proposed to increase to one- sixteenth part. A represenaktion, of four mem- bers would further redtuoe this to one-twrilfth. part. The Llandudno Council further objected to the. proposed divisioni of the district into three. electoral divisions, on the ground that such, divisions were not sufficiently well-defined for electoral purposes. The boundaries, as shown on the plan suibmitte-d by the County Council, were no't good1; the district was nolt capable of being easily divided into three, having regard (to an equal distribution of the electors. An alternative plan was- now submitted, which the Council ventured to think was preferable. It showed the distriqc divided into four divisions to correspond with the number of representatives now asked for, 'and the number of electors in ea-ch proposed division was fairly equal, having regard to the builtc upon and unbuilt upon parts of the district. The request for four mem- bers ,was a very reasonable and modest one, and one which the County Council ought to agree, to gracefully. There was a strong feeling in the district, and amongst individual memlbers of the Council also, thait six representatives would not be too many, considering the import'amt part which. Llandudno- plays in the finances of the county. The speaker then referred to Colwyn tBay, who have been granted six representatives on the Denbigh County Council, and produced copies of resolutions passed by the Ratepayers' Association and the Conway -Board of Guard- ians, in support of the application. Mr John Owen jAvallon), the first witness called in. favour of the applicants, stjated he was a member of the County Council and also of the Urban District Council. In his opinion, Llan- dudno did not gel; an37thrng like a fair repre- sentation upon the County Council, and the re- quest for four members was a very reasonable and! moderate one, even: on the basis of popula- tion'. He was under the impression that popu- lation. was the only basis for consideration under the Act. Taking thalt as a basis- out of 38 divisions in the coun;ty of Carnarvonshire, there were 19 where there, were only 500 electors to every representative. Taking that for com- parison, Llandudno would, under the proposed new conditioil's, compare- very favourably1 with the- other divisions of the- county. In conclu- sion, Mr Owleni pointed, out that the, enhanced nature of .their rateable value was due to the vastly-i.nicreia^ed1 population in. Llandudno during the summer months, and they as a local authority had to cater for the Oiarger number of people, and net for residents only. 'Mr 'Rciber(t Roberts -said the local committee, who had ,taken: the matter into. consideration, had not troubled themselves with anything but to show the inequality in which Llandudno had been. treated by the County Council. The Llan- dud'no Council had for several years been urging those claims, and that the application was so belated was -not he fault of the local authority, but rather of the neglect of the County Council. In. his opinion, they were asking for the mini- mum of representation that could be accepted with a reasonable amount of satisfaction. Mr E. E. Bone gave further evidence. The Llandudno- Ratepayers' Association have advocated an application for six members, and their case was now placed before the inspecter by Messrs McMaster, John Roberts, and! J. R. Dawson. 7 Mr J. T. Roberts having briefly summed up, the inquiry came to a close with a vote of thanks, proposed by 'Mr Richard! Conway, seconded: by Mr J. T. Roberts.
