A petit ion was read from householders on the Marine PHIade, asking the Coun- cil to prohibit bathing vans being hence- forth placed in a position so as to be opposite to their respective houses, so as to avoid the annoyance and monetary loss caused during last summer. THE SURVEYOR. A letter was read from the Surveyor (Mr T. R. Parry) stating that be was still stationed at Conway wailing for the Cadet Corps Classes to begin. Should the Council desiro his services for any work, he believed the Council could secure his release until he was wanted far the Cadet Corps, that was if the Council bad any scheme or work which he could prepare. As the Council bad no scheme on band, it was decided not to apply for Mr Parry's temporary release. I FOOD PRODUCTION. It was reported that a fresh Order forwarded by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries gave power to the Council to enter on any land, whether occupied I or unoccupied, without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the owner or occupier. In view of the urgent impor. tance of maintaining the milk supply, no land should be taken under the Order which was being used for the grazing of cowa, or which was otherwise essential for dairy purposes. A circular letter from the same Board inviting active steps to be taken for preparing lists of vacant gardens, etc., was referred to the War Agricultural Committee, who have promised to assist the Council in the matter. A letter written by Mr R. G. Jackson, Marine Mansions, to the Board of Agri. culture complaining that the Council had not been, able to provide him with a field in the occupation of a farmer with- in tie Urban District was transmitted to the Council for its observations. It was decided that the Clerk should reply to the letter, pointing out that the Council could not fee its way clear to take compul- sory measures for acquiring the field in question, but an offer was to be given Mr Jackson of a plot on the Recieation Ground, in front of Otielton Hall, or by Glandwr Bridge, where Mr John Winiama, Goetrp, bad placed a one-acre field. well cultivated at tbe disposal of the Council for two or three years free of rept.

Lloyd George, MP. {Prime Minister), urging the cultivation of every available piece of land, so as to enable the country to successfully com- bat the submarine menace. I ABOUT MANURE.

I The Deputy Clerk rpported that it was within the Council's recollection that the notice served by the Yorkshire Penny Bank calling up their mortgages I expired on February 25th last. On I March 8th, 1917, Mr William George journeyed to Leeds to interview the manager, and be has since presented the following report: "The Bank manager stated that all the Bank's mortgages bad been called op, and fresh terms arranged in each case except in the case of Barmouth, which was the only one outstanding. He further stated that the Bank's policy J was to raise the interest according to the market, and no guarantee could be given that any agreement came to now would be adhered to for any definite term of years." Mr George pointed out that the case of Batmouth was ex- ceptional, having regard to the towns, position and prospects, and also referred to the arrangement recently come to with the Bank when the rate of interest was increased to 4! per cent, to convey this view of the matter to his directors, and, if possible, to allow Mr George an opportunity of appearing before them before anything further was done. This the Bank manager ultimately agreed to do. Since the interview, a letter bad been received by Mr George that the Bank, after due consideration, was willing to agree that the loans should continue at the present rate of interest, subject to six months notice* as before" The Finance Committee were ex- tremely glad at tho successful result, of Mr George's efforts in the matter, and highly appreciated the stand which he took in the Council's interests, as the increase demanded meant an increased payment by the Council of over R200 per annum.

The Company were represented by Mr Herbert, (one of the Directors), Mr Macdonald, (engineer).

The Railway representatives had met the deputation in a most sympathetic* spirit and had promised to do what they could in the matter. Mr Herbert had visited some of the housps which were complaining, and be was much impressed by the grievance. Thp fencing in that part would be removed, Tbe Railway representntivps had met the Council very generously indeed and the Council ougbi to be very thankful for whati they bad offered to do The Clerk then- referred to another matter which «he deputation had men- tioned to II)p Railways officials and that was with ngiicl to having reductions in the railway fares for thp coming season.
