NEWS AND OBSERVATIONS:
NEWS AND OBSERVATIONS: ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. The University of Cambridge has conferred th honorary degree of Doe'or of Divinity on the Rev JOHN LLOYD. Bishop Suffragan of Swansea, and Vicar of Carmarthen. Mr GIBSON'S application for a renewal of his pDperty in Mary-street, which was further considered at the last Town Council, is of con- siderable importance in more ways than one. As will be seen by the report publi bed in another column there are several objections to the renewal on the terms proposed by the Finance Commitee, the chief of which are that renewals ought not to be granted for any of the properties on the west side of the street, because it may be desirable to widen the street afrer the expiration of the present leaser, some sixteen years hence, and because the land may be wanted for market purposes; that the terms are prejudicial to the interests of the ratepayers, and th:)t it is not desirable or neces- sary to widen the street at all, For our own part we hold, and have held from the first, that Mary-street ought not to be widened under any circumstance whatever, be- cause it is a short street, and as it leads only to the railway station, there is not and cannot possibly be heavy traffic through it. There are three outlets from the station to North-parade, so that there is no danger whatever of there being anything like a congestion of traffic. The heaviest traffie i3 when trains arrive and depart,, when two or three basses, aLd au equal number of carriages, and a cart or two, may be seen in the street. That is all the tra,ffic that there i«i„ Mr John James holds that there never is much business transacted in striets near railway stations. Anotl er argument is that the abatem, nt pro- posed is excessive, and thererore prejudicial to the interests of the ratepayers. The following figurts are, we believe, thoroughly reliable, and will show the effect of the Finance Com- mittee's proposal. For an ordinary renewal for 75 years X s d the annual payment would be £11 2 4 which comes to a total of ray 833 0 0 Less 16 years- of present to run 178 0 0 655 0 0 Amount suggested by the Finance Com- at £ 3 70 say 250 0 0 Loss to-the ratepayers -„ 405 0 0 Without saying that these figures are correct to a faithing, we have every confidence that they are substantially right. And what is this sum of £405 to be sacrificed for ? Practically for Bothing. Mr GIBSON owns the property for sixteen years, after which it will relapse to the Corporation. It was on these conditions that he bought the property, and his interest in it ceases at the expiration of the lease which he purchased. Mr GIBSON is not compelled by the Corporation to build, and if he does build, it will be for his own convenience and profit, and therefore the ratepayers ought not to be called upon to contribute one Z, penny piece for either the land or the buildings. This is no hardship upon Mr GIBSON. He only bought the lease, and that is what he paid for, and the Town Council do not propose to interfere with his rights. If he intends to rebuild-and in his letter to the Council ask- ing for a renewal be said that that was his intention—why should the ratepayers be obliged to contribute towards the cost of the rebuilding ? It seems to us that all the con- cession that ought to be made to Mr GIBSON -and we do not advocate even that much-is the value of the land, without the buildings, in proportion to what he paid for it. The sum paid for the land and buildings is under- stood to be ..6400. Roughly speaking, this sum may be divided equally between the land and the buildings. The proportion of land to be taken is about one-tenth, so that the pro- portion to be conceded—supposing that any concession is made—is £20. But, as we have already said, there is no reason why even this sum should be conceded, because it is quite certain that the proposed widening of the whole street cannot be effected for sixteen years, by which time the whole will be in the hands of the Corporation if renewals are not, granted. The additional width is not required in the street, whilst it is of the greatest possible value at the backs of the houses, whe hfr for garden or building purposes. Therefore, land ought not to be wasted away- leaving aside the loss that would arise to the ratepayers from the proposed concessions. What these concessions will cost was stated by Mr C. M. WILLIAMS on Wednesday. Mr WILLIAMS calculates that the ordinary fine for the whole street would be £ 1,150, or an anllu.1 sum of cS52 9s. Ss,, whereas at 3s. per foot the annual sum would be only fli. 11s. Gd., leaving a loss to the ratepayers of £:3.7 17s. 9d., which, capitalised at 3t per cent., would be equivalent to £ 1,070. That is a pretty good sum to pay for a fad. Practically, the Finance Committee's pro- posal WaS supported by Mr D. C. ROBERTS an 1 Mr IVI KR JONES, with possibly one or two osher ni mbers, whilst the great majority oppo&ed k„ rv.d the roatuy was referred back for further information. It is difficult to understand how gentlemen of the experience of Mr JONES and Mr ROBERTS can find it possible to support a proposal which would he a heavy burden upon the already heavily-rated ratepayers. Mr PALMER urged that the renewal should not be granted at present, and until it had been decided whether a new market should n t be erected on the spot, and the same view was taken by others, whilst Mr WILLIAM THOMAS seemed to sit on the fence, free to jump down on either side. Mr INGLIS JONES, Derry Ormond, was pre- sented at the levee held a fortnight ago at St. 0 C, James' Palace, by his brother-in-law, Sir HENRY CHAMBERLAIN. At the last meeting of the Town Council an increase in the Town Surveyor's salary, from £ ) 20 to £150, was voted, practically without opposition, although Mr WILLIAM THOMAS wished the matter to be deferred for the pur- pose of considering the advisability of re- arranging the Surveyor's duties. Several t, Z3 members spoke generally of the excellent services rendered by the Surveyor, and Mr PETER JONES enumerated in detail several of he works carried out under his supervision, at a considerable saving to the ratepayers. Successful meetings of the Primrosa League were held in this town and at Hafod last week. Colonel EVANS, Lord-Lieutenant of the County, presided at the former, and Mr WA DDINC H AM at the latter. Mr T. E. ELLIS was in this town on Friday, having run down to see his sister, who is a student at the College. Mr ELLIS looked remarkably well after his trip to South Africa and the Mauritius. In the evening the popular Member for Merionethshire looked in at a concert of the Junior Radical Club, at the Assembly Rooms, and was received with up- roarious and continued applause, which showed the feelings of the assembly. He afterwards gave a short speech. Daring his brief stay Mr ELLIS met many of his old friends, and on ■Saturday morning went to Dolgelley. D It is said that the Central Wales Railway, which runs from Carmarthen northwards through Llandovery, has been sold to the London and North Western Railway Company, for £137,500, the purchase to take effect on the 1st of July. Mr E. J. EVANS, Cnwcybarcut, g ive notice on Monday that he will move at the next meeting of the Rural Sanitary Authority that in future the meetings of the board shall be held at the Clerk's office, the Clerk being willing to give the use of one of his rooms for the purpose. This will be an advantage to all concerned. Viscountess LISBURNE was presented by Lady SEYMOUR at the Drawing Room held at cl Buckingham Palace the other day. We are pleased to say that the Rev J. PUGH, vicar of Llanbadarn Fawr, has suffici- ently recovered from his indisposition to be able to conduct services in his church. Dr HARRIES recently paid a visit to Dr KOCH'S establishment in Berlin, and to other famous centres of medical skill on the Conti- nent. The library of the late Mr WILLIAM REES, Tonn, Llandovery, which is one of the best private collections in the country, has been purchased for the Cardiff Free Library. The Right Rev ALFRED GEORGE EDWARDS, Bishop of St. Asaph, becomes entitled to a seat in the Housj of Lords by the translation of Dr MACLAR;AN from Lichfield to York. Dr EDWARDS, who was consecrated in 1889, is the youngest of our bishops, being in his forty- third year. The BISHOP works hard, and is making great endeavours to infuse life and energy into the Welsh Church. He created a sensation about a year ago by preaching in the Welsh language in St. Paul's. He is cquainted with every parish in his diocese, and endeavours to reach the hearts of the people by identifying himself with the in- cidents of their daily life. His democratic leanings show themselves in his habitual practice of travelling third class by rail-at least so says "The Star." Dr EDWARDS is married to a daughter of Mr GARLAND, an eminent English merchant ab Lisbon. Mrs EDWARDS'S sister is the wife of Dr J AYNE, the Bishop of Chester, who was appoiptcd the same year that witnessed his brother-in-law's elevation to the Bench. Both Mrs EDWARDS and Mrs JAYNE are ladies of singular beauty and charm of manner. In consequence of the death of the Earl of Powis, the Marquis of RIPON will not visit Welshpool until later in the year. The Rev WAREEIF TJREVOE, rector of Mach- ynlleth, has appointed the Marchioness (D.) of LONDONDERRY as his churchwarden. This is an innovation, but the appointment is a good one. The Bishop of LLANDAFF gives some in- teresting facts and figures in his triennial charge, delivered this week. He quoted statistics which showed that the rate of increase of persons confirmed in his diocese is greater than in any diocese in England or Wales. During the last three years he had ordained four Ex-Nonconformist ministers to the I ministry of the Church, and during the last four weeks had received no less than four applications from persons in this class for permission to present themselves as candidates for holy orders. Dr LEWIS also reported pro- gress in other respects. As may be expected, there exists a stormy feeling of indignation in the Lledrod and Ystrad Meurig districts against the proposals put forward by the Joint Education Committee and the Charity Commissioners with respect to the educational endowments of these parishes. There is a good deal of mystery about the proceedings of these bodies, but it is gradually oozing out that they propose to increase the number of trustees by the addition of a number of people who are not in any way whatever con- ueeLd with the parishes or the endowments- « as if the parishes and the immediate district 1 did not contain gentlemen worthy and capable of the position This proposal, taken in con- junction with other acts of our new governing bodies, are enough to make the inhabitants of the county long for the old administration of the county magistrates, with all its faults It has also been hinted that there is or has been an intention of removing the Ystrad Meurig School from the neighbourhood, but that is a proposal that cannot be seriously contemplated seeing the nature of the founders' will. Some idea of the feeling that has been aroused in the neighbourhood may be inferred from the fact that churchmen and Nonconformists, high and low, rich and poor, are all combining for the protection of their common heritage. It is gratifying to find that the Great Wes- tern Railway Company have unanimously elected Viscount EMLYN Vice-chairman of the Board. This is good news for Wales, for we are sure that his Lordship's knowledge of the Principality will be of advantage to the Com- pany, who have of late shown a disposition to make more of Wales than they formerly did. Difficulties are already cropping up with respect to the collection of tithes under the new Act. At Cardigan new buildings are to be m erected for the Intermediate School to be located in that town, at a cost of £ 3,000. The Ven. Archdeacon of Merioneth, the Rev JOHN EVANS, died at Bangor, on Sunday, of influenza. The death has recently occurred of Mr DAVID LEWIS Woo DING, of Beulah, Brecon- shire, and brother to the Rev W. J. WOODING vicar of Eglvvys Fach. The newspapers circu- lating in Mid-Wales speak most highly of him. He was one of those who were educated by the late Dr. DAVIES, of Ffrwdvale, a famous schoolmaster. He was also widely known as a distinguished antiquarian, and had one of the largest collections of books bearingou the subject he loved so much in the Principality, many of them being exceedingly rate. should his family n t wish to keep the books, this is a rare opportunity for the University College to secure works of value.

The deceased, who leaves a widow and six children, was related to Mr Charles Evans, butcher, Chaly- beate-terrace. The funeral took place on Saturday. at Bethel, Llangwyryfon. A BAD PRACTICB.—On Wednesday afternoon of last week, when the vehicle of the Favourite Milk Sapply Company was going its rounds, the driver bad occasion to "top at the top of North-parade. Having no one with him to take charge of the horse when he went to one of the shops, the driver tied the reins to one of the wheels. Shortly the horse became restless, and the consequences being that one of its II legs got entangled in the reins, and whilst straggling to liberate itself the ani.i al fell. The attention of the driver was immediately called to the animal by some passerb-by, and with his assistance the horse regained its footing, fortunately without receiving any injury. BUSINESS.—J. Walter Evans, Tottenham House (opposite the Corn Market-hall), begs to announce that he has received a Splendid Selection of new Spring goods, comprising all kinds of ready made clothes for boys and men, ladies jackets and dol- mans in great variety, Now dresses, an entire new stock of fioor and stair Oil-cloth, Carpets.

A similar per- formance will be given by the same company at Barmouth. Considering the talent that wiil be repre- sented, we have no doubt that the affair will be a thorough success. RECKLESSNESS OF VISITORS.—Seeing that some accidents have occurred in past years through the carelessness of excursionists in venturing too near the edge of the rocks, it would be thought that a very practical warning had been administered to those who come into the town J and go for a ramble along the cliffs. Last week wo noticed several per- sons actually sitting on the very edge of the roeks, and allowing their feet to dangle over the precipice, thus laying themselves open t) an accident which would undoubtedly hare resulted fftbt ly. On Satur- day a man named James Badd, spinner, o;' Newton Heath, Manchester, was on; of a company who attempted to seals Constitution Hill (Graig Lais) from the sea. They had climbed a considerable dis- tance up the rock when Kudd discovered that he had reached a point from which any further ascent would be impracticable. He lurried to retrace his steps, missed his footing, and slid a distance of about 60 feet on to the beach. Several excursionists were near and ran to his assistance, and discovered that he was quite unconscious. They procured a trap, and conveyed him to Dr Harries' house, where it was found that no bones were broken, and no further injury had been sustained tba-i a sevare shock to the system. The man, who is >1",<>11. 30 years of age, remained at tha doctor'- h ua d about G o'clock in the evening, when he ivf-'t -ned «nt'i his friends to Manchester.

LOCAL LAW CASE.
LOCAL LAW CASE. ARBITRATION BETWEEN SYDNEY ADOL PHUS LONDON, AND DAVID LLOYD JONES. In this case Mr Sydney Adolphus London, of Bettws- y-coed, enamelled slate manufacturer, claimed damages from Mr David Lloyd Jones, of the Llwyn- gwern Slate and Slab Quarry, near Machynlleth, for breaches of an agreement whereby Mr David Lloyd Jones agreed to sell to Mr London fifty tons per month of slate slabs for the term of eighteen months, commencing on the 1st February, 1890, but deter- minable in the event (among others) of the sale by Mr Lloyd Jones of the Llwyngwern quarry. Mr E. S. London, of Sheffield, and Mr W. J. Lewis, of Towyn, were appointed arbitrators, with Mr Joseph Davies, solicitor, Aberystwyth; as umpire. The arbitrators having made no award, the reference was heard before Mr Joseph Davies, the umpire, at the Town Hall, Aberystwyth, on the 4th and 5th of May, when Mr Hugh Hughes, solicitor, Aberystwyth, appeared for Mr London, and Mr Pritchett, barrister-at-law, Birmingham (instructed by Mr Arthur T. Carr, solici- tor, Birmingham), appeared for Mr Lloyd Jones. Several points of law upon the construction of the agreement as to the events upon which the same was determinable were raised by Mr Hughes and Mr Pritchett on behalf of their respective clients, and Mr London was called to prove that during the months of February, March, and!April, 1890, the terms of the agreement were partially complied with, but that no slabs were afterwards^ supplied by Mr Lloyd Jones, in accordance with his (Mr London s) orders. On behalf of Mr Lloyd Jones, Mr Pritchett called Mr W. J. Lewis, of Towyn, and Mr A. T. Carr, to prove the purebpse by them of the Llwyji- gwern quarry from Mr Lloyd Jones, in May, 1890, Mr Joseph Davies published his award on Saturday last, and thereby found that Mr London had sus- tained damages under the agreement to the amount of .£75 16s Od which are directed to be paid by Mr Lloyd Jones, together with the costs of the reference and award.

You must catch the public eye in a well-displayed advertisement if you expect to catch the public parse. There is no business so high, 150 strong, or so exclusive that it cannot be benefitted by advertising. I would as soon think of doing business without clerka as without advertising."
