Hughes, and Owen Williams, representing the Barmouth Council, inspected the New General Post Office situated near the Royai Hotel. They were accompanied by Mr J. G. Mellersh, assistant surveyor (re- presenting Mr F. E. Adams, head sur- veyor of the North Wales Disirict), and the energetic local Postmaster (Mr T. Howells). Everything appertaining to the comfort of the staff and the facilities for dealing with the work of the post- office are the chief features of these buildings. The whole arrangements of the postal facilities were in the able hands of Mr Mellersh, and much credit is duo to him for the able manner in which the different departments rhave been arranged. The architect was Mr Edwin Biakey, Architect and Surveyor, Jubilee Road, Barmouth, and the con- tractor was Mr Owen Edwards, Rose Hill, and they are to be congratulated on one of the finest post-office buildings in North Wales, and it is a credit for any town to have such handsome build ings. As indicating the importance and growth of Barmouth, it might be men- tioned that the average number of letters and parcels delivered and posted weekly at the present time as compared with ten years "ago, shows an increase of over thirty per cent. Owing to the great increase in the work of the post-office during the last few years, the responsi- bility of a postmaster had been made more than doubled, but Barmouth is to be congratulated on having such an efficient officer as Mr Howells as post- master. Barmouth and- District School Man- agers.—The monthly meeting of the above Manageis was held on Tuesday afternoon, at the Council School, Mr E. D. Jones, M.A., presiding. Provision of Meals for Children.-—A long discussion took placdon the scheme adopted by the County Education Com- mittee with regard to providing a meal for scholars who were in need of such a provision. Councillor R. W. Jones reported that the Local Committee had been consider- ing the matter and thought that there was a number of scholars from Bar- mouth who were in need of some pro- vision, and the matter had been deferred for further information. Mr Henry Freeman reported that a ladips committee had been appointed with one member from each Church and Chapel. The Rev. David Davies, Harlech, re- ported that there were about twenty- seven children in the Harlech district who should be provided with a meal. Reports from other Schools in the district were submitted on the matter, which were to the effect that at present there was no need for makin g any such provisions. Mr W. Watkin Davies hoped that the Managers would make careful investi-f gations before dealing with this im- portant matter. The rates were high enough already. The Rev. David Davies spoke most strongly in favour of this scheme, and it was the duty of the Managers to see that the scholars were obtaining enough provision in their childhood quite as much as to look after their education. He considered that this was a question of manhood and of Christianity. He propesed that the Managers should take steps to have the Provision Meal I Scheme put into force without delay; ¡ which was carried after a long and heated discussion, ¡ Cyfarfod y Calaii.Cyribelir hon nos II Tau, Rhagfyr Slain, a dydd Gwener, Ionawr laf, y pregethwyr fydd y Parch ¡ B.
