The minutes of the pMVtone meeting having been rea.daadooniirmed.MrBiMHAM.the Loc&i Government Board inspector, who was preeent, Enid that since this was the first meeting he would like to say One word of farewell to the old Board and ot welcome to the new. He found that there were several changes in the members, but no doubt the wcrk would be performed well. 'l'htJ.o was one facc ttat h6 missed very much, namely, that ot the old obiirman, whom he had known for a long time. Undoubtedly they would all remember him for a loolt time r,o oome. He congratulated tin; electors in the district for thoir good sense in talecting !9,dOH on tfce noard. The"# were certain matters in whiih lilies oould render much batter assistanoe than mea. HJ feutd that out of 28 members they I bad 12 in w members. He hoped the new members would later expressing ndverse opinions on the woik of the old Hoard until they would have had some experience of the work and the difii- cnltlis attended therewith, He had drawn up some observations which would be printed in both Welsh ami English explanatory of the work, and he would e-nd tho olerk a copy, and if tb<;y thought it desirable each member might be sup- plied with a copy. He noticed the generosity of ladies and gentlemen towards the children, and he suggested that shelves should be provided for child- ren to keep their books and presents. He did not know whether they had fixed a fine for the non. acceptance of offioe, if not it remained at L20. This was a fine for non-aooeptance of office, and not for resignation,and was simply to prevent mal-praotices in the parishes. It was fully decided on the rtcom- mendation of Mr Biroham that each overseer or rate aollector should send in to tho clerk a statement of rates colleoted by them during the month, and that this should be ia hand by the second meeting in each month also that the auggeations mentioned by the inspector with regard to certain alterations in the house be carried out forthwith.

Mrs Ann Hughes, grocer, Valley, very kindly sent oranges for the inmates.

The following entry was made in the visitors book by the cbairman (Mr J. Lloyd Griffith) Visited c the house on the 31st December, 1894, and found all in good order and very clean. In- mates appear well cilred for and comfortable, and I oalled attention to Mr Bircham'a suggestion of 23rd February, 1894." URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. The sesond meeting of the Urban District Council was held on Tuesday evening, when there were present;—Dr. Roland Williams (chairman), Mr John Roberts, Elm Park (vice-ohairman), Rev. Robert Price, B.A., Dr. Fox Russell, Messrs T. Forcer Evans, W. Griffith, W. H. Edwards, V. E. M. Prichard, Griffith Jones, W. 8. Owen. Joseph Evans, Robert Roberts, O. Hughes, R. Mon Wil- liams, John Owen, Joseph Hall, T. R. Jones, John Thima«, Divid Williams, William Jones, together with Mr R. Kice Williams (deputy clerk) and Mr R. Lloyd Davies (surveyor and inspector). It was resolved, on the motion of the CHAIRMAN, seconded by the VICE-CHAIRMAN, that an applioatioll be made to the Looal Government Board to grant certain powers allowed to a Parish Council, and to confer these to the District Counoil, more especially clauses 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Mr FORCBB EVANS moved, and Mr R. doli WILLIAMS seconded, than an ambulance or asuitablo vehicle ba purchased to convey the dead bodies that be wash.'d ashore to the mortuary. Carried uein oon. Tfia G'IMR.UAX pointed out that several old men were at present out of employment, the old Board having let tbe t-lsstiiig of stones, &c., by contract, aud be thought that something should be done to give th-ise men soma work to do. Mr W. S. OWEN said that he should like to know the opinion of the late chairman of the Board re this matter. The present contractor was a sober and industrious lIlan, and no fault had been found with him by the surveyor. Mr WILLI ILL GUIPCITH remarked that the old Board were totally unable to have sufficient maca- dam by tho-a who were s-nt there to prepare it. Therefore the Board were obliged to let the work by oontract. The surveyor further explained tbat some of the Board's workmen were those who raised the I stones aud metalled tham, when it was found that their services would be of more use abont the town. Mr HALL remarked that fall inquiry into this matte; should be made,and left to small committee, these to rsport upon the matter to the Council. It was finally decided to refer tbe subject to a sub-committee. A plan of a new reservoir and filter bed was sub- mitted f.,r tbe approval of ths Council, when Mr W. Griffith (cbairman of tbe Waterworks Com- pany) aid that the company were about to expend soma E4000 in making a new reservoir in order to have a better supply of water in town. An appli- cation is to be made to the Board of Trade for a provisional order to extend and improve the works and raise the capital. It was not the intention of the company to advance tbe water rate. The CHAIBMAN said some guarantee should be given by the company tbat this will not take place. Dr. Fox RUSBEL sitid he hoped that the water supply would be improved as well as the quality. Mr T. R. JaNKe siid that many a time the oom- pany were asked to give a larger supply, bat they would not lay proper mains. He was of opinion that the Council should have a share in the Water. works Company. Mr GRIFFITH: No doubt Mr T. R. Jones has a grudge againat the company beoause the old Board pulled down some old wall tbat was behind his houses in Arthur-street. The VICU-CHAIRMAN counselled them not to let personalities creep into the Couucil. He firmly believed that the oompany should be asked to give a better quality and supply of water. Mr JOSEPH EVANS propo,ed.and Mr Huolo seconded, that the question of passing the plana be adjourned in order that a full enquiry into them might be made. The DBPUTY-CLERK said that unless they were ap- proved of at ttie present meeting or at a special one it would be too late to ask for the provisional order. Mr W. H. EDWARDS moved, and Mr JOHN TuomAs seoonded, that the plans and sections of the new reservoir be approved of provided that the Water- works Company give a guarantee that the water > rate be not advanced. Before the motion and the amendment were put an, Mr WILLIAM GRIFFITH eaid that a letter to tbis effect would b- sent in on Monday. Ultimately the arneadmont was oarried. A letter wae read from the clerk (Mr J. Lloyd Griffith) resigning the post as clerk of the Council, wbioh office lie had held for the last 27 years. After the reading of the letter, The CHAIRMAN remarked that no better offioial could be found in tbe Principality. Mr HALL Slid he quite endorsed the ohairman's remarks, and indeed it was a pity for the Council to lose the serviced of so able a person as Mr Lloyd Griffith. Air PRICHARD then proposed, and Mr W. H. EDWARDS seoonded, tbat Mr Griffith be asked to re- consider the question. Carried unanimously. Mr R. Rioe Williams was appointed deputy olerk in the meantime. It was resolved to accopt, the resignation of Mr R. Lloyd Davies as surveyor and inspector of nnisances, hut tbat his services as col- lector of rates be retained. Mr P. A. Smith, National Provincial Bank, applied for tbe post of treasurer of the Council wirhout remuneration. It was decided, on the motion of Mr HALL, that the whole subjeot bj disoussed byltbe Fiuanoe Com- mittee, and that they should make a full enquiry, and see on what terms the present treasurer is engaged.

The proceedings were in have beerr preceded by a team match of ten players of the Liverpool Cheaa Club and an equal number of players headed by Mr Iloffer, but this unfortu- nately fell through, The entry for the tournament was not so numerous aa promised, sickness arld other causes preventing several intelldin oompeti- tora from attending the meeting.

LIBERAL MEETING AT ST. GEORGE'S HALL. SPEECHES BY MR W. JONES AND MS FOULKES GRIFFITH. Last week, under the auspices of the Liberal Association and Cymra Fydd League, a public meeting was held in St. Georg;e'3 Hall, to further the candidature of Mr William Jones for the Arvon Division. Mr Elias Jones, J.P., presided over a large attendance, and in opeuing ttie met. ing, referred to Profeseor Hugb6a, the Couaervative candidate, who was a gentleman in every sense of the word, but there was a vast difference between the political principles of Professor Hughes and their Liberal candidate. Mr W. Jonea (applause). Mr FOULKBS GRIFFITH (London), a member of the Liberation Society Executive, said that the full development of the Parish and Distiiot Councila would give such tone to the national aspirations of Wales that manteiprilism with prophets and eeera would take tbe place of vestries with priests. It was ridiculous to call a Cnurch national which per- mitted organists to play at dances, race dinners,and balls, hut evicted them mercilessly, as at, Bangor, if they touched a Dissenting Sunday School harmonium (applause). Wales was the land of Sunday Sohools, and the new municipal life would heavily squeeze any Auglicau Church which rau oountar to the national will, so that its clergy would crave for a new order of things. Mnniipal freedom would bring a strapping liberty that would overmakter a puny sacerdotalism. The bill of Mr Asquith next session would diffir from that of last year in making the tithes divisible according to population, cot merely according to parish." It would be well it Mr Asqaith altered another clause and gave, instnad of the tithes, the Church edifice to the parish commuuicants and vicars, instead of handing them over to a bishop- chosen ceutrai body, which would lord it over the parish clergy, while the communicants fonnd the funds. If the churches were vested 111 the parishes, sime parishes would permit men in Prusbyterian orders like T. C. Edwards or Price Hughes to preaob in the parish churches (applause). This woald be demoeritio and if tbe bishop refused this bill, the next, would be more democratic. The next general election would require self- sacrifice, Tht-iy muar atoop to oonquer. They must let eren disestablishment aland till the Hoose, of Lords wa. dealt with. Ireland had an Irish peerage Scotland had its Seotoh eirls and dukes Wales, with an older liueag', dating back 500 yeara before the time when the ancestors of; Saxon lorda were worshippers of rude Odin, I had no peerage, bnt it had itg nobles. Evtry Welshman was "Ap Freeman." They had the lordly conrage, and they could dispense with the titles (applause). There was something unworthy in the oringing to a lord or titled man, and making him a senator. In the old Catholic days moat of the nonse of Lords were life peers cbosen for per- s.nal worth. It was sur?ly strange that now we slioald permit iu these latter (layi a majority of mere hereditary coronet wearers I Wehadaottially, gone back. The creat of the House of Lords was a crab, and they had oaught one (laughter). He hoped they would loyally follow Lord Iicsebery, I though they might think be made mistakes. The old Welsh proverb must guide them-" Hawabarna na saetbu eaeth (it is ca.ier to orit'cise than to shoot an arrow). Lord RJsebery and Tom Ellis were trusty bowmen (applause). Mr WILLIAM JONES, the adopted Liberal oandi-; date, who was received with enthusiasm, laid the Conservative Party bad •> last pele4ed a candidal who as far as could be gathered from his speech at Bant.or before the Conservative Council, was a st-aichtforward, honest Conservative, fhe parly had nudolbtedly failed to get tbe classified creature erme(i LibeMi Un.oatot, rho as a Ml* could b, dt1ned muoh M oe? we abof?n dt!5r."a at) .;Mal- or?:.iM tt?t?.d not ]iv on land And which dil, I in the wa er (laughter). The Liberals of Anon were at present in a positiiu to understand the forces arrayed against i hem. They w->"> those utirattig&E,,t class prejudices, the forces which to-day aft in ;bo oast had fought against the rights of demoeraoy. In their selected candidate mere would bo found a VfeUli gentlacisa of culture and ability. who had declared himse.' an exponent of those priucipI'S. who upheld the Church as established ill WaIM, the House of Lorda as it existed, who considered the Anglican CKttrr-b Yicioiu:v ii.vrntel ty W.ba >OCCDU- formists, ani who believed tbas Welab landlords were a very fine lot (laugbtar). Conaidering that the overwhelming majority of the Welsh people and their representatives had darini the last quarter of a century sacrificed effort, intellect, and power to undermine the privileges of the Churob, the House of Lords, and landlordism, it would not be a hard task to fight for viotory if the Liberal Party in Arvon rallied round their standard of freedom (applause). Disestablishment was the great national question which would be immediately before Parlia- ment, They did not expect the bill to be passed because of the mutilating power of the Lord). Con- sequently everything tended to show that at the next general election the cry would be the ory of the people against the peers" (loud appUase). Mr Ellis, the Government Whip, ta egraphed to M: Jones saying it was impossible for him to attend the melting, and wishicg him every saccns.

LLAtfFAILlFECHAiY. PARISH (.'OUNCILS.-The first ordinary monthly meeting of this Counoil was held on Tuesday even- i?. when there wee pr.eont = -Mr J. Owen Jones (chairman), Captain Lempriere, Dr. Clifton Hughes, Mesars R. C. Evans, L. D. Jones, J. Hughes, W. G. Roberta, T. G. Morgan, J. R. Wil- liams, J. Doldir Williams, R. Williams, T. Hughes (surveyor), aDd P. Joues (elerk). The minutes of the previous meeting and committees being read and confirmed, Dr. Clifton Hughes, chairman of the Sanitary Committee, referring to the work of connecting with the main drain, called attention to the question of the right of owners of adjacent pro- perty to construct one common drain for the whole. It being urged that in such a otae the drain would become a public sewage, the responsibility for repairing, &a., the aame would devolve upon the Council and not on the individual owner. The Chairman auggestsd tbat all owners of such pro- perty should sign an agreement binding themselves to keep all their drains so constructed by them in proper order and repair.-After considerable dis- ouasion, on '.he motion of Dr. Clifton Hughes, sup- ported by Lir T. G. Morgan, it was decided to eeek legal 'Jptui on the question. The Road Com- mittee, Mr J. R. Williams, chairman, called atten- tion to the SUtion-road, and suggested that a thin ooating of stone b3 laid thereon. The rough stats of the path leading to Tanygraig was pointed out, as also the road at Pcnrhvddallt aud Gerizim, both being in a most dangerous condition.-Tbe Collector reported that the persons who had been summoned before the magistrates for the non-payment of rates had not, with one or two exceptions; oomplied with the order then made.—A discussion arose as to what courae the Council should adopt with respect to the sime. Ultimately it was decided to summon the defaulters to appear before the Council at the next meeting.—Mr T. G. Morgan read the standing ordera now in f >rce at the meetings of the Bangor Guard- ians, aud a copy cf the same was ordered to be sent to each Councillor for consideration.

Nugent), Julia Lorimer (Miss Gillson), ifS Titlark (Misi Meyrick), Deborah (Miss Nugent), All the performers acquitted tbemaelvea splendidly, and the droll sayings,jokes, and really olever acting of all created roars ot laugbtar and fairly brougha down the hous?. The stage and ecenaiy looked beautiful, and the success ot the entertainment is due to tbe untiring exertions of His-. Meyrick. We understand that the stage aod soiuery Were done up entirely by Misa Meyrick and liar f:ieod3. The audience showed ita appreciation by its npt atten- tion and excellent behaviour in spite of the over. crowded state of the room. Soma very pretty solos and duets were played on the piano by the Misses Thomas, Rectory, at the commencement and in the interval between the two parts.
