I At Bangor Police Court, on Tuesday, Mr Samuel Evans, Assistant Overseer, claimed E2 17s 5d poor rates, from Mrs Jane Wil- liams. Sheffield House, Carneddi, in re- spect of a shop and a shed. Mr Lloyd Edwards, who represented Mrs Williams, oontended that the rates were demanded for an unoccupied shop. Mr Evans explained that in January Mrs Williams appealed to the Assessment Committee for a separate assessment of the shop and house. This was granted on condition that the door between the shop and the house was screwed up, but that had not been done. There was a motor car in the shed. The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr Vincent): The question is whether the occupation of the shed by the motor tar is tantamount to the occupation of the shop. If the door had been screwed up and the motor car kept in the shod, would the overseers have claimed the rates for the shop?—Mr Evans: Yes. Mrs Williams stated that on January last she applied for a separate assessment for the shop, and since that date it had not been occupied. She kept the door from the house to the shop locked, and only opened it once. The motor car be- longed to a neighbour. The Bench held that the shop was occu- pied, and ordered the rates to be paid.

LLANFAIRFECH AN. EXCUSE LIST.—At Bangor Petty Ses- sions, on Tuesday, the Assistant Overseer (Mr J. Rees Hughes) produced the excuse list for Llanfairfeohan, amounting to J63 6s 6d. It was passed by the Bench. THE FAIR.—The strike notwithstand- ing, there was a good attendance at the annual fair on Tuesday. The amuse- ments of the fair were very attenuated. BOWLING CLUB.—The local club will bring their season, to a close next Wednes- day, when they journey to Bangor to play a return game. FOOTBALL. The railway strike has affected the local football club in rather a curious way. They are unable to play tho opening League match with Glasin- fryn because the registration forms of their players have not been handed over to the secretary of the League (Mr H. R. Williams, of Bangor). They are in the possession of the secretary of the dub (Mr Wheldon Roberts), who, owing to tho railway strike, has been stranded at Aber- ystwyth, where he was spending a holiday. ALLEGED NUISANCE: CASE DISMISSED. At Bangor Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, before Sir Henry Lewis and other magis- trates, Mr Thomas Hughes, sanitary in- spector, charged Mr William Hughes, butcher, Llaniairfechan, with disobeying an order to abate a nuisance. Mr W. H. Ellis, prosecuting for the Urban Council, stated that last July the defendant was summoned for allowing a nuisance arising from a refuse heap. He did not appear nor was he represented, and the Bench fined him 30s, and made an order that there must be no recurrence of the nuisance. The prosecution complained that the nuisance had been allowed to go on for 56 days after those proceedings. The Sanitary Inspector gave evidence that the refuse heap was on land occupied bly tht defendant, and there was a house only 60 yards away. Garbage was con- tinually placed on the heap," and when he went there on August 23rd the smell was intolerable. In answer to Mr S. R. Dew, who defended, Witness stated that recently the defendant who was one of the largest ratepayers in Uanfairfochan, gave a piece of land gratuitously to widen a certain dangerous corner. Defendant had appar- ently been offended with witness since the last proceedings, and had not spoken to him. Witness denied that the refuse wsts deeply covered with sand and lime. Tne Medical Officer of Health (Dr. Lewis Travis), who visited the heap, which con- sisted -of slaughter-house refuse, on Sep- tember 10th, said it caused a nuisance which was dangerous to health. No at- tempt was made to cover the heap. Mr Dew submitted that the Order of the Court served an the defendant was bad as it did not specify the work to be done to abate the nuisance. Mr Ellis contended that the notice re- ferred to in the Act quoted by Mr Dew was tho Statutory Notice served by the Urban Council to abate the nuisance. That notice was before the Court in July. The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr Vincent) agreed that the Order was not drawn up in accordance with the Order of the Court. It was, however, always open to a local authority to issue a fresh summons to abate the alleged nuisance. The Bench dismissed the case. Mr Dew stated ithat his client had in- vited the members of the Council to visit the place. Judge Bryn Roberts (a magistrate): And the members of the Council might say they are not willing to go. Mr Dew: Mr Hughes has expressed his willingness to meet any reasonable require- ments.

TOWN COUNCIL. -1 A special meeting of the Town Coancil was held on Monday night, the Mayor, Dr. R. Parry, in the chair. The Chairman of the Housing Committee (Mr NIPB) stated that they had received applications from three architects whose names the committee did not. think desirable to mention. One of the architects mentioned that he" was willing to do the work connected with the scheme for 91,250, and the committee had recommended that this applicant be accepted. It was de- cided only co proceed with 50 houses at pre- sent. Mr A. Richards seconded this, though he did not know who this architect was. Mr 11. (jrwyneddt-n Davies a.-ked if the ap- pointment was a whole-time one. The Mayor ad this Win a very important matter. He would like to know if a clerk of th., works was to be appointed or whether the architect was to pay for the services of same out of the Xl,9-,Ll. Now was the time to ask these filia tions. In reply, Mr Ne-o said tint the RI,250 would include everything. If there was no supervi- sion by the architect he would have to provide someone ('1!:4 in his place. Mr John Jones asked what would be the ca"oe if the Oovernment abandoned their hous- ing scheme Would they receive the cost of the houses built above a penny rate? Mr Nee thought it was testate in the day to talk in the way Mr John Jones did. The Council hid pledged themselves to build 100 hcuses. They decided to proceed with SO at pre.-ent, but the zclieiiie for the whole must reach the Ministry of Health before October 3lst, otherwise the Government would give no "ran t ° Mr Richards expressed the hope that the Council would go oil budding 100 houses iin- mediately. as there WcM a great demand foi them. Mr R. Gwyneddon Davies agarn ask, ix, i wh.y the committee had decided to pay a lump sum to the architect instead of an annual salary? Mr Nee replied that tll. committee, by doing this. would know what their responsibilities were. Mr John Jones asked what wouid h,appen if all the houses were completed within 12 monthsV Would the sum of £ 1,250 be paid to the architect? Mr Nee replied that :t was entirely at the suggestion of the Mayor that thi-s lump "urn was agreed to. In uniL, cases the co?t would be £ 2,500. If they made a contract they would stand by iL The recommendation was then carried. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. I A meeting Nvzs held on Saturday morn- iltg, Mr D. J. Davies, Llanberis, in the chair. Tho Master pr esented a report, which showed that prior to the building of the Etyri Hospital there were 10J 111- mates in the house, compared with S5 at the present date; but it appeared that the officials bad more than doubled. It was decided that Mrs Nath. Roberts, Mrs W. J. Griffith, iYle-ssrs J. Rees, W. Eiiasi Wil- liams, H. J. Angel and Hugh JCIKM be appointed an a sub-committee to meet the Master and to go fully into the matter. The Clerk reported that live trained norses had sent in their applications for the advertised post, 'i'wo w<i e> asked to appear befd o the committee, viz., Miss Beatrice A. Jcnes, Bagillt, and Mies Annie Pritchard, Bryncoch, Aborereli. The latter was unanimously appointed. The Rev. R. R. Roberts produced a. report which he and other members had drawn out in regard to the interview they had with 20 iiia-le persons in the house. Ho considered that some of the ccmplaints made by the inmates were serious. Mr Ro- berts asked the Board to postpone the re- port until the femWe inmates had been interviewed. -This was agreed to. The Clerk reported that there were thr.ee pigs belonging to the Union ready to be sold.—Mr J. C. Lloyd Williams, Llan- beris. asked if it would not be better to kill the pigs for the use of the institution. —The Clerk answered that the. inmates were not allowed bacon. The Clerk read a letter he had received from the North Wales Society for the Blind_, reporting that T. M. Roberts, a blind young mrji from the institution, had been appointed a home teacher" at Portsmouth in shoornakirig. The letter begged to thank the Guardians for recom- mending thi, young man, as the authorities at Portsmouth considered him a compe- tent tcac-iler.-It was decided to write a letter of congratulation to Roberts on his appointment. Mr J. C. Llovd Williams, Llanberis, called attention to certain things the Go- vernment wero offoring for sale, as he understood that local authorities wore hav- ing the first chance. Ho suggested that ariiiy boots should bo bought for all the inmates. Those could be bought for about 12s a pa Ir, and were a far better quality than those supplied now to the inmates at 22s a I)--ir.It was agreed that the Clerk should purchase same. I CARNARVON GOSSIP. I It appears that the loaal Eiisteddfodau which were held in the district in pro-war days are to be, revived generally this win- ter. New ground has been covered by tho Committee of the Rho;.tryfa.n Eistedd- fod. which is to be held during Christ- mas week, in offering a substantial prize for tho best performance of a Welsh drama. The Committee that had the arrange- ment of .welcoming the Carnarvonsldre troops, on Saturday, are criticised for showing laok of sympathy with the Welsh language. "In all," says a oorrespondent, "there were six flags bearing different mottoes, all. of which were in the English language. We should have liked to see: Gwell angau na chywilydd" ("Better death than dishonoux"), and other similar WTelah mottoes." There was nothing to arouse the en- thusiasm of the monoglot Welsh soldiers who a&sembled in tho Castle to hear the speeches, and there were scores, if not hundreda of men, who did not understand a word that was said. It was a groat pity that General Sir Owen Thomas, M.P., who was present, had not been invited to ad- dress the troops in the Welsh language. it The singing of the Carnarvon Choral Society, especially of "Yr Haf' and Cwsg, filwr, cwsg," was splendid. The oonauetor, Mr Wm. Jones, Crugan, did his work admirably. The other two pieces were not quite up to tho ma.rk. It is to bo hoped that this choir will keep together as there are prospects of the making of a oanital Eisteddfod ohoir. A friend of mine dictated to me the other day an English stanza, which he be- lieved was an extempore effort by the late "Eos Bradwen," of this town. The englyn" is to the late Dr. Joseph Parry, the eminent Wc-h musician:- "A peer in music was Parry, a Kelt Of culture and study; In matter always mighty, In art a Mozart was he." A notice was placed in some shop win- dows of the town on Wednesday, announc- ing a public meeting to be held by railway- men at 2 o'clock in the afternoon; but it was said that reporters were not allowed to be present. I have been told that the Memorial Com- mittee in conjunction with the County Committee, are to buy the monument erted temporary as a "Cenotaph" in order to get a permanent memorial for the fallen. Owing to the strike there was only a very limited quantity of Abutter offered at the market on Saturday; but it is to be hoped there will be an improvement by next Saturday.

PHOTOGRAPHY.—The other day the following paragraph appeared in the Newcastle Daily Journal, which rekfctee to one of our Portdinorwic boys The com- mittee of the London Salon of Photography have accepted for exhibition a character- istic example of the work of a local photo- grapher, Mr Phil. Jones, Gosforth. The picture labelled The Epicure' is a charm- ingiy naive study of child life, and reveals considerable aptitude in this branch of portraiture. This local success, the only one within a radius of 40 miles of New- castle, is a notable one." Mr Jones is a native of Portdinorwie, and is the only son of Mrs J. V. Williams, Mandiester House, and is well known in the district. This honour that has been conferred upon him is considered a great one in the pro- fesaioru

BANGOR CITY COUNCIL. I MEMBERS AND THE Z?JLy I HERALD. J STAFF REORGANISATION SCHEME. I The monthly meeting of the Council was held at tho Town Hall on Wednesday. Th-e Mayor (Mr R. J. Williams) presided, and the other members present included Aldermen Sir Henry Lewis, W. Bayne, T. J. Williams, O. Owen; Councillors R. Joneu Roberta, J. L. Vaughan, A. Ivor Pryce, M'ddin Jones, Dr. R. Rowland Jones, DT. J. E. Thomas, T. Vallanoe, Capt. John Roberts, W. R. Jones, A. Carter, T. E. Taylor, W. A. Foster, Char'-es Pozzl and W. Thomas, with the Town Clerk (Mr Pentir Williams), the Lighting Engineer (Mr Pi-yce White), tfie Sanitary Inspector (Mr Worrall), and the Surveyor (Mr Gill). ALDERMAN'S CRITICISM OF THE I COUNCIL. Capt. John Roberts inquired when the aldermen would --c-tlre 11w Town Cierk stated that the Mayor, Sir Henry Lewis, a.nd Mr W. P. Matthews would retire in 1920. Capt. John Roberts then alluded to a letter which appeared in the North IFa/fs Chronicle from Si: • Henry Lewi.}, who, he said, had referred in terma which were not complimentary to the Council and its work. He thought the Council should have an opportunity of expressing its opinion of the petition adopted by Sir Ilenry Lewis. M, T. J. Wil:iarns: I raise a. point of order. This discussion might be inter- esting and profitable, but at the same time it ia out of order. The Mayor: We cannot discuss the mat- ter, a.? it is not en the agenda. I dare- say Sir Henry Lewis can look after him- self. MOTOR CAR FARES: ALLEGED I PROFITEERING. A lettcc was read from the C/gwen Food Committee protesting against the high charges imposed by the owners of certain motor cars which ply between Bethesda and Bangor, and they instanced that 2s was charged for conveying a pas- senger on the single journey. hoped the Council would assist in putting an end to these exorbitant charges. The Mayor also directed attention to the overcrowding OL t'ie-o small cars. He had seen from cig-Ut to ten people in one of the caM. One day there would be a terious accident. The Town Cierk thought the Councils should combine to adopt a common bye- (aw to ii,event the overcrowding. Mr T. J. Williams said the overcrowd- ing was not confinod to Bethesda; it was dor. > in Bangor. These people would bo the first to condemn tradesmen for profit- eering when th?y were themselves among the worst profiteers in the country. The compfcint was referred to a com- mittee. OBJECTION TO A NEWSPAPER. I Tu-c General Purposes Committee recom- mended that the request by the Bangor Trades and Labour Council to allow the Daily Herald to be placed on the :ack at the Library be granted. Capt. John Roberts stated that he no- ticed ill the newspapers a statement con- cerning the Daily Herald with which the Council should be acquainted. T'he state- ment was made by Justice, a Socialist journal, which described the Daily Hrruhl as "the Anarchist 'Labour' Daily." Justice alleged that the Daily Herald, by its support "of all the conscientious ob- jectors, passive resistors, and tho policy of 'won't play' the m,oment anything hap- pens which it doesn't lik.e, i" heading di- rect for anarchy." L'ndcr the circum- stances he moved that the committee in charge of tho Free Library should recon- sider recommendation. Mr T. Vallanoa seconded. Mr Taylor hoped the Council wouid not show si-doa in .such a matter, especially at the present juncture. Rather than have a discussion he was prepared to drop tho Vf-holo matter. The Council knew the temper of the men, and if it should go out that the Council were opposed to a Labour paper he did not know what would hap- pen. As it was they were at their wits' end to keap the men quiet. They were etilliti-ed to read any paper they wished and draw their own conclusions llom w'hat they read. Sir H-c-nry Lewis agreed with Mr Tay- lor. Ho believed in free trade and in free speech. In a publio mLary they should have an opportunity of consulting every class of newspaper. He had taken the Daily Herald until he gave it up for reasons of economy (laughter). Ho would like to dip into its pages again occasion- ally at the public library, where one would naturally look fe" it. He did not always agree with its view.?, but he liked to re-ad it. Mr Lansbury, the editor, was an able and a Christian man however much mis- taken he might bo. Mr Ivor Pryce aJso thought the pape: should bo provided in the Library. Capt. John Roberts said his object was to call attention t.o the matter, and he did not press .his proposal. was carried. PROPOSED AVIATION SERVICES. I The Highways Committee reported hav- ing received letters from two aviation companies asking the Corporation to pro- vide facilities tor establishing aviation sorvices at Bangc< Tile surveyor re- ported to the committee that the only tsite was the foreshore at Hirael, which was private property and far too email to meet the company's requirements. The committee tresolved to ask the surveyor to communicate with the companies. Mr Taylor in-quired whether the com- mittee had considered the suitability of the golf links as a landing place. The Surveyor stated that the foreshore at Hirael was too small, being just over 200 yards long. IIo had not considered the suitability of t golf links. Dr. Thomas hoped the matter would not he dismissed too lightly as there was a great future for aviation. Mr Jones Roberts suggested tna-t an application shot'Id be made to Lord Pen- rhyn for pcVmi?sion to have a landing- place in Poilrliyn Park. The recommendation was referred back. SUGGESTED PURCHASE OF SWIMMING BATH. The Finance Committee reported hav- ing considered a suggestion that fhoy should purchaso tlio swimming bath in Hirael.which hag been used by the "Clio" boys and decided to send a letter to Capt. Langdon 8ttins that tthe matter IKUI been uM?cr consideration, but that no decision had bceQ arrived at in view of the en- deavour, ihat were being made to induce the County Education Committee to join tho City Council in its acquisition and asking whether the matter couTd be post- poned for a month pending the result of negotiations. REORGANISATION OF STAFF. In view ot tile oeath of the chiel col- lector, and the return of certain members of the staff from military service, the treasurer submitted a scheme of re-organi- sation of the office staff, which was briefly as follows:—(1) That the assistant coifector (Mr R. J. Buckland) be appointed chief colk-otor and, responsible for the ocsllect- ing department, at a salary of 2190 per annum; (2) that the clerk in tihe Gas Works (Mr W. Lloyd Jones) be trans- ferred to the Treasurer's Department, and apjxnnted assistant collector, BIt LS 3s per week (3) û80.t the rental dSerlc in tihe Treasurer?a Office (Mr David WiUianM) bo trangferred to tho Gas Manager's De- partment as slot collector, etc., at JE3 per weak; (4) that the junior in thie Trea- surer s Department be appointed stores and weighbridge clerk at the Gas WorScs, at £1 per week; (5) that Mr R. J. Jones, now in tho Town Clerk's office, be ap- pointed rental olerk in the Treasurers office, at 30s per week; (6) that the chief rental clerk'# salary be J3140 per annum; (7) that an office boy be appointed at 103 per week. The Finance Committee having consid- ered the above suggestions seriatim, una- nimously resolved that they be approved. The Ma.yor stated that by the re-organ- ifation of the staff there would be a sav- ing of £ 160 per annum.. Mr Taylor took exception to the last four recommendations, and urged that the proposed salaries were inadequate. The office boy should have JS1 a week and the others should receive more. Mr Pozzi: There is on election coming on and Mr Taylor 13 a candidate (laugh- ter). The Mayor pointed out that these youths were being trained, and when they learnt their duties they would be fitted to re- eeivo higher wages. Mr Taylor contended that no one could live on such salaries these days. The Mayor; I have the privilege of keeping four, and I know what it costs. Mr Taylor: It oosts more than 10s a week. Mr Carter agreed that it was not tihe rule to pay apprentices Ingh wages. He started at 3s a week. Mr Taylor: That's a long time ago (laughter). Mr Carter: As the finances of the town are at present, and if tihese young men are satisfied, I have no objection. The Mayor: Then why all this talk? The recommendation was carried. TOWN CLERK'S SALARY. It was decided to increase the salary of the Town Clerk by JE25 per annum. The Mayor pointed out that according to the scale of the Looal Government Board, the Town Cqe& wai c-ntitled to considerably more.
