FALL OF ROCK AT PENMAENBACH, I The Surveyor's Committee reported havi-jyg reo ceiived a letteii- from ttbe Pe-nmaeftrimwr UtwbiI Council with reference to the reoerit fall of rock at Ponimaenbaeh,, aiid asking tho County C-ou'n-' oil to anoint a Small dfesputetaon to meet thont with the object of miititgati-ng- the to tliA public and to obtain eome expert fcdvsoe, tiie COin- mittee recommended tlie to deny all liability in the m, Ater. Mr W. H. Ritodias rcgl-etted the attitudie of the committee. It was a dangerous spot, and in Auguislt lost 60 tons of rock fell oti tine road. Mr C. A. Jonce,, while agreeing that the place was dangerouis, pointed out tfliat tiie Council had to be guid ?2 d t7?? po i iit?e d oli-t. taiat tdic Couiic, I l liad to be guided by the legal aspect of the matter. The question was wheilher the owner- of the adL joining land was ad'vigjed that t'lie County Council was not liable- and that if the Council interfered they might render t;h2m¿dv>£:s liable to serious consequences. Dr. Parry said the local Council could apply for a mandamus to have the place put into piro- per repair. Rev. W. Morgan said the place was a serious danger to the public, and an expert had warned them that there might be a catastrophe there some day. The nojipossumus attitude of the Surveyor's Committee was not worthy of the Council. The Surveyor (Mr E. Evans ) stated that tiie rock had been failing on the road for the last 27 years. It was a hUlge business, and meant tlie removal of a mouriitain. He had li-ea,rdl lawyers discussing the question, the opinion being held that when the mountain feill it would1 be an act of God1, and the Council knew what that meant. The Counoil muet keep clearly in mind that they had nothing whatever to do with the Tokid beyond repaying tfhe Penmaenmawr U rbaril Council any reasonable expense incurred on the road, which was not vested in the County Coun- cil at all. It was a great mistake to think that the County Council bad anytsliirg to do with the road. The danger arose not from the road, but from the land adjoining the road, and: no one could go on another mail's la,1,d withoiut his con- sent. Mr Cwyneddlon Davies thought the Coum.cil, without admitting, liability, should appoint a sub- committee to meet represejitatiivee of the Pem- ffiaenmawir Council. Mr Hugh Pritchard Would that not be estab- lishing a precedent? Mr C. A. Jones oSlIljd the mountalzi must be re- moved to make the place safe. Mr Jones Roberts emphasised tihat tire re- sponsibility rested with the Penmaenmawr Couiir cil. Mr Rhode's pointed out that it was a national road, being the means of coon muni cation between England audi Holyheadv It was decided to ask the Penmaenmawr Coun- on submit a ecihe-me. CONWAY TOWN COUNCIL AND THEIR MAIN ROAD ACCOUNTS. The following appeared in the report of the Surveyor's Committee:— The report of the sub-committee on the ex. amimat'on of bills was submitted by Mr J. E. Greaves. Attention was called to the fact that the main road accounts of the Conway Town Council -were not kept in with the County Council's requirements, that no clnim ha.s been proforrtd in refpeet of extraordinary traffic, and tibiat tttue oondiition of the Ban.gor main road, (at Coinway) remains uneatisfaciory-. Resolved that ,it be raecimmended be. deducted from the claim in this respect." Mr T. R. Hughes (Conway) stro.nigly protested Against the "recommendation, and mid that Con- way was being unfairly -punished. Mr J. E. Greaves eiaid that if Conway had' made application for a sum in ree-ipect of extraordinary traffic they would have reoeiivcd; it. The Con- way representative complained! that they wei-e similarly punished la?t year, but apparently that punishment had not done them any good (laugh- tetr). Repeated (representations )i«d been made without rewalt to the Conway Council to prepare thár accounts in the form required. By a majority it was decidcd- to-refer the ile- commendation back to the committee. DECREASED RECEIPTS FROM LICENCES. I The Local Taxation Officer (Mr J. T. E. Jones) presented his report for the year ended 31st, in rcsped, of local taxation lnoenece. The eum placed, to the credit of tlie Council from this source for 1916-17 was B4647 17s, compared with £ 4691 lis 6d for the preceding year. He stated that the level of taxation of luxuries, such a,s motors, male servants, doge, etc., could not be maintained in these times of unexampled na- tional stress. A large number of armorial bear- ings had been discontinued owing to increased taxation in Income Tax, dp. Practically all efficient men of military age, especially chauffeurs, gardoners, grooms, and keepers- had joined the Army. With regard to dogs the rumour of a proposed increase of the licence at the endi of last year caused -a large number to be destroyed. THE HOUSING QUESTION. It was dfecidcd o ta-sic the Clerk to ascertain fixxm the vwaoue OoawaiJa what nbepa have 'been or are about to be taken with regard to the pro- vision of houEies for the walking c!a«g«9 in tiheir respective diiistricts. It was aL o agreed to ar- range a conference between the w-Jiol!> of the County Council meimbc-rs, and three representa- tives (and their clerks) of cadi of the Urban 1 and Rural D'istrict Council and tlie IiiEurance Committee on the subject. The Assistant Cletrfc (Mr Harrison Monris), Mr W. Parry, and the Assistant Overseer were asked to inspect houses said to be pn ruina in the parish of Bethesda. 1 I A WORKMAN'S COMPLAINT. The Surveyor'e Committee resolved thai having- j heard the sfcatememt of Mr W. W. Davies to the I Clwk, And tho Surveyor's version, and it appear- ing to the committee that a misunderstanding had jaken place in reference to the letting of a conitu-act for quarrying- stone, the oommit-tee re- commended the payiiieiit of £ 1 16a 9d., being tlie difference between his account and the amount paid him, Mr Hugh Pritchard moved the appointment of a email committee to .invest:?ga.te certain ohangæ mwdl¡; by Mr CadKvialadr Humphreys (a. irjember of the Counc-"I ) in Mgaitd to the County SujiTve-yor and Mr W.

Mr G-ieaves refei-red to the depredations of doge among sSieep flocks in the county. Hundreds of fcheep were nHed by etagsiii tiiie county each year, involving a waato of thousands of pounds. If the exemp- tions were abolisihed tlie farmers would be the gainers. The number of exemptions in Carnar- vonshire was between 5000 and 6000, whereas only about 4000 licences were taken out. Mr H. Parry and other farmers urged that simp herds and farmers tlhould be exempted from the Licences. By a large majority the resolution was car- ried. -> "r, NATIONAL COUNCIL OF EDUCATION 1-OK WALES. A disc lists; on took place on the proposed -Na- tional Coiiiurl of Education for Wales. Mr W. George, proposing that tihe scneme should be sent to the Education Committee for their consideration, said he had heard only two objeciiLons to the proposed fchcme. On» was advanced by Mr Fisher, President of tlie Board of Education, who oomplained1 that the fee-heme d'id not cover unversity education. The cnly reason for that was that there was a OommissioJi sitting with regard to university oduoafcion ai \A ale51, and this proposal emanated from those wlio conti-oilcd secondary education, and who de- oid'ed that university education fJioukl bo kit out of the scheme. No doubt those who had had the movement at heait wouid be very will- ing, if there was a c&,position on t'he paiTrt of the higlior authoritica, to agree to the inclusion of university education m 0 the eoherne. Anther objection was tha.t they should wait for a scheme of Home Rule for Wales, so that education could be dealt with by the Home Rule Parlia- ment. The promoters of this education scheme had no objection to that idea, and were loosing forward sc.on-er or later to the e«t&ibl!Kilwwnt of a Homo Rule Par!mfnt for Wales, but in tie meantime let Wales get wha.t it could. I. ho proposed education scheme ini'ght be dovewii.ed into Mr Fieher's propogain. The Chairman asked w'hether some arrange- ment could not be made so that North VTales would ihavc better representation on the N^ atio-ial Council. The \-YeIM Churth had accepted the principle Of equality of representation be ween North and Soutll. Mr George eaid that point had not been H sf sight of. Aft-ei all South Wales- had the popula- tion and rateable value, and the principle ot ce- mocratic Governimenit entitled them to the larger measure of representation. The scheme was referred to the Education Committee for consideration. STRAY SHEEP.

Lloyd could not support that sug-gpstion as the circumstances of Anglesey were dillerert to those of other parts. Mr Lewis Hughes thought they should deal with the question on its merits ai applying to Anglesey.^ This was the third appeal for in- creases since the outbreak of the i-ar. On the motion of Mr S. T.

Pollock, of the Warwickshire Regiment. and his wile, who were spending a ho;l(iav ak Barmouth, lost their way in the mist while climbing Cadcr Idris, and fell over the precipictf overlooking the lake. Hearing their cries for help, a farmer founct them after some hours in a perilous position, tut could not r.adt them A i escue party from Doigellcy arrived on the tpot of the accident oil Monday, and by means of ropes succeeded in rescuing Mrs Pollock at 4 o'clock on Tuesday morning. She was in a critical condition owing1 to the fall, two nights' exposure, and absence of food Another rescue party endeavoured ior hours to rescue Captain Pollock by ropes, and at last brought him 'to a place of faiety. He also was suffering greaUy frorr; exposure. Captain Pollock, in telling thj story of the ad- venture to a correspondent, said lie was attached to the Aimy Serv ice Corps, hacf been serving for 20 months in Salonica, and bad come to Barmouth for short leave after being1 three months in hospital, lie had been up Cad- ei Idris five or six times previously, and again went lasf Sunday mornin-r. In descending, owing to heavy mist, he and his wife missed their way. NN hile searching in the darkness for a pathway they both missed their footing, his wife falling down the cliff about 60ft. fracturing her thigh. They waited there throughout Sunday nighr, exposed to a severe hailstorm, snow, and lightning. In ih.3 morning ne ventured to the edg? oi the cli? hoping fob. able to climb dow? but. tha^ was impossible. There was a narrow ledge below which appeared to be a path, and he decided to try and Jet his wife do>vn to tills ledge. He tore up some of his wife's clothing and his trench coat and made them into a rope 25ft. long. He let his wife down on t-o what looked like a path, but, to -,ii(, Ii, horror, she discovered it was only a ledge of the cliff not more than two yards long by about 2ft. wide. It was im- possible for him to go to his wife s assistance, and neither could move a foot from their perilous position. ThAy had taken no food with them, and his v.-ife had to sit in a stream which was flowing from the rock. They called out for help, and very luckily a lady visitor from Barmouth saw his wife and gave information which led to their rescue. J-Ie, hit rone the v. orse after his trying experience, but his wife had suffered greatly Lorn exposure, and would not be. able to he moved from Barmouth for some time.
