The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

Death of a Liverpool Welshman. MAXY citizens of Liverpool, and more particularly the Welsh section of the community, will hear with regret of the death of Mr David Hughes, J.P. The sad event occurred on Saturday morn- ins; at the residence of the deceased gentleman, Wintet-dyne-, oacl, Grove Park. Mr Hughes, who had reached the advanced age of 83. was a builder and extensive warehouse owner in Liverpool, and was the principal of the firm of Messrs D, and L. Hughes, William Moult-street. He was placed on the commission of the peace for the city as far back as 1880, and as a L beral represented Everton for a brief period in the Council Chamber many years ago. Latterly, however, he had taken very little interest in public affairs.

The Clerk stated1 jjhat :truea'SlS'essür's report in regard t-o ;the damage at -the re-oeinit fire at the industrial (female) quarters in the ITouse was as follows:—Damage to the building, £'15 10s content's of the room, £ 16 17s; total, £32 7s. Those items -did not comprise itihe damage to the industrial trainetr'si clothing of £7 45. The policy did noit cover any private clothing of the i.flicc.rs, only the clothing -of the animates. Mr J. H. EHills asked) were tfhie Fire Company going to allow the whole of the- damage cost. The Clerk said the assessor-s bad requested hi.mi to prepare a claim, and forward ,t. The Chair.m.an said he oansidfared' the Union ought to ende.avour to get at least £35 to cover the -damage to the building1 and _fio to cover the loss to the industrial! train-eir. Mr (-unneir said that was what ijh-e Finance Gommitltete had ineco-mmenided1 that,morning, and he mon-cd a resolution- (to that effiect. Mr Mostym Willliamis- se-coinded, and it was re- solved' that: the claim be made for £45. The Board and the Licensing Question. It was statedl tbak letteps had been received from Mr J. iHerbert Roberts, M.P., Mir J. Her- bert Lewis, M.P., Mr iSannuel .Smith, M.P., and Mr iSannieil Moss, M.P., acknowlieidgiing the re- ceipt of copies of a resolution, passed by the Board with reference tOo the pro, c)- sals. Prestatyn's Guardian Representation. Mr Robert Davies, of Prestatyn, desired to mention a matter which hie had submitted to that Board .eighteen months ago. and that was as to the desirability of having1 two Guardians, aa least, to .represent the Prestatyn district. He understood it was arranged that application was to. be made to the Flintshire and' D-enbtigbshire County Councils; but ,he believed, no thing had bee.n decided. He mentioned that, Llanrwst made application some time ago, and he was surprised tlhtey had so many Tepresent.abives as compared with their population. The popula- tion and rateablie, value of Prestatyn) was very iDuch larger than those of Llanxwst. Pres- taty.n p-os'sess-e-d oaie-fifthi of rateabilifcy compared' wilth Rhyl, yiet this latter place, had rep-re- senitatives anidl Prestatyn only one. Another matter -he wished to- .a,sk, as Juls of office was expiring, wsis with TefeTeineoe :to the deduc- tion of twenty per cent. by the Assessment C cm- milrtee and! The Chairman: I think you must not refer to that. (Voices: Hiear, hear.) Mr Davies Well, I have broached the matter •bafore, and The Chairman.: It is entirely out of order. There are plenty of opportunities for discussing this mattiar before- the Assessment Committee. Mr Daviest: Yes, I have dome thait. The Chairman Well, if you have- any fault to find, you must bring-it before the Assessment Committee. Mr Davies I take it -we are violating a great principle. The Chairman): I cannot allow you to pro- ceed. M-r Bennett Jones Where is the place to. dis- cnsls the- matter? The Chairman: At the Assessment Commit- tee. Mr -Bennett J-ones: Well, cannot we have a report from. the As-s-essim-ent Committee on the mattN, and di'souss it afterwards? The Chairman!: You can bring the maltster be- f-cx-e the, committee1 by putting a notice on the agenda. Mr Davies: I am sorry the matrter cannot be dealt with to-day. The Clerk sard he had made- the applicat'-cai to the authorities, but the: delay had1 arisen chiefly to the fact of -the- Union: being in- two cousmties. It was -a miatieer which wo.ulid' have to be dealt with by a jOlintcommittee. He observed it had been 'considlered by the- County Connicils;, andl a .committee had been appointed, but a' -decision had' .not been received. The Chairman Do you propose that the' re- 1 -1 s,t e?d of 'h,e 'Cou?rty Co:l-i?n)r-?ls be requ?e Mr Dav:es Yes. Mr G-wilyimi Parry (vice-chairman) sac on dad and the proposition iwa.s carrie,I. The Guardians and Elaborate Funerals. DI S C O' U N'T'E N ANCI NG HURRIED RE LIE F. During the hearing of several appli-cati-cins for 11 p •relief, it appeared- that the -widow of a plasterer 'who was killled by .fai-l-inig from ,a roof in Kinm-el- 'street, Rhyl, applied; for the Board's assistance for herself and1 chlM-rem. The Chairman -catechised her respecting the disposal ofmOlniies she had received' after the dela,th oif-he.r husband for the fumieral, eitc. The applitCantrepliedl that what she had had been das-posed of in paying accounts. The Chairman reminded her, under the cir- cumstances of the case, that the guardians could not .grant relief to persons without proper en- quiries were made as to their positions. They were not empowered to grant relief so hurriedly. If the applicant was really in need of relief, she could come again to thei Board at tthe next meet- ing,, whiem s'he .could make a statement as to what had! become of monies she had received after the death. The applicant having withdrawn from the Boardroom, Mr S. Perks said be thought the Guardians should discountenance relief being- give.ni to per- sons who had expended a large 'amount of money upom funeral arrangements. He be- lieved in the present case the. deceased was a ,working ma,nt, and thime were three, or four car- riagesused at the funeral. He dared- say that the other arrangements' were -on '[he sam? ex- pensfive scale. He: Ithoughit it was, their duty as Guardi.ans to intimate in some way that that Board, was not 'prepared to give assistance to such parsons: directly after t funeral, and especially in Te.gard to. people- who had expend- ed their money so extravagantly. He thought it would be very well i!f the .Bo.a.rd took that matter into- consideration. Mir J. H. Ellis- concurred, for it was necessary to deprecate such' exkravagant expenditure. He, however, would1 like to state that before the ap- plicant's hu,siband,w as killed, her child had died in the bouse, and! that the two bodies were buried the. same diay. H& did' not think that £5 was- too much for 'the ,two coffins, etc. tie thought the carriages -were kindly lent by Mr Joseph Williams-, of the- Alexandra Hotel. He thought careful enquiries should be made by Mr Davies, the relieving officer, respecting the -money givem to the. woman, -and. how it had been. spent. (Hear, hear.) It was very likely that the mam was in- debt, seeing that he had not 'been 'in -reig,ular employment, and that some o\f the money -bad been devoted' to paying arrears. After the enquiries perhaps the Guardian's would think, she might be •worthy of considera- tion. She had four children living—the eldest ten and the youngest four. He, therefore, hoped the relieving officer would' give the matter -his ii, modIate and careiful attention. f Air Joseph, Jonles said it was saiid that the woman, did not know what was, going on. outside in collecting money for the funeral. The Chairman remarked that persons were collecting money SOlOn after the death. Mr J. Frimstani said iit was :a practice which ,via,,i be'n, tresoirte,d, ito re,ularl?y in( h 11 1 l? iyl for full- erals. Mr Griffiths,: It is good -for drapers. (Laugh- ter.) Mr F-rimstoni: No, it is not. He said that persons engaged too many carriages fc:r funerals when they could' not iafford to do so. Mr Gwiilym Parry .said that the same sort of 'thing prevailed in De.n.bigh. 'There was a case only ,the previous week where four or five carri- ages weTe .emgagec1 for 'a pauper's, funeral. Miss Bennett saidl she thought the Board should -do all that was possible to deall with such cases properly, and prevent persons' extra- vagance upon such occasions. This concjuded the discussion, and the meet- ing. +
