TOWYN. PROPOSED GAS WORKS.—A meeting was held in the Town Hall, on Wednesday evening, for the purpose ot promoting the establishment of Gas Works in the popu- lar and attractive watering place, Towyn. From the prospectus handed round to the parties attending, we gather that the scheme has been originated by strangers, Mr. James, Solicitor, of Wellington, Salop, appearing in the interest of the promoters. Among the local sup- porters we may name Mr. John Lloyd, of Bronyfrys, Towyn and Newbridge, Ruabon, who has not only put his name down for 20 shares himself, but has canvassed his friends in other places succeeding as we are informed, in getting 95 shares taken up in Oswestry alone. Amongst these we may mention Mr. T Savin, 20 shares; Mr. John Minshall, ironmonger, 5; Mr. Bassett Solici- tor, and Secretary to the Oswestry Gas Works, 5 Mr. C Minshall, Solicitor, 5; Mr. Jones, hop merchant, 5 Mr. Henry Weaver, 5 Mr. n. Davies, 5, &c. The prospectus states that the proposed capital of the com- pany is to be X 2000, but it is not anticipated that more than iCI500 will be called upon until such time as the proposed terrace is built on the beach, and the town itself increases in magnitude. ro,p,ntn. a!õo state" that the party who is e. eting gas works, at Aberdovey, at his own cost, has otto. -id oa,j vuird of the capital of the proposed works at Towyn,. also to build the works, and afterwards work them on a lease at a per cent, on the outlay, or if the Shareholders pre- fer it, to take the management for the Company. The meeting was souuu uied for five o'clook, at the Town Hall. Amongst those present we noticed John Lloyd Jones, Esq., (who took the chair), Mr. John Lloyd, Mr Richard Price, Pali Mall; Mr W. W.

Mr. JOHN" LLOYD then addressed the meeting in Welsh, and in the course of his speech observed that I the leason why he busied himself in the matter was, that he had always felt a lively interest in Towyn, and when he heard of this scheme, and had a prospectus phced in his hand, he set to work and try and further the scheme, and to show the opinion the English people had of such work;, he could tell them that in Oswestry, on the previous day, he had succeeded in getting A'.J 5 subscribed in something like three hours and a half (hear, hear). This meeting was called to test the feel- ing of the inhabitants on the subject, and he had hoped that it would have been more fully attended.
