Continued from Page 6. mittee and a resolution was passed to that H effect. ■ Mr ',I'ani..s What was it ? Mr Gibson—I have not got my cuttings handy. I have not been called to any meet- H ingp of the Law Committee and I deny tha; H I have had anything to do with the case. ■ My opinion is that the Council had no nglr. to take over the ca.se. As to the state- mentjs that I have been a party to the case, ■ they are absolutely untrue. As to the state- H ment of Mr C M Williams that L822 14s 6d ■ is t(he total sum. of the costs oU the case, it ■ is not true. H Mr Williams—Yes, up to the present time. ■ Mr Gibson—You nevelf said up to the pre- ■ sent time. You said tiliait the, totaJ costs of ■ the case were £ 822 14s 6d; but you did not ■ say that it. had not been finished yet and ■ that the costs may be £ 1,000 or more 'before ■ it is finished. You thought you would let ■ the statement go out that -C822 14s 6d were ■ the .total costs. We have not heard the last ■ ef it. I am quite satisfied to leave the matter where it is. I am not auraid of the ■ sort of insinuations that Are made against ■ me. I am used to them. I am even used ■ to being called a blackguard b the Mayor; ■ threatened with death by the ex-Mayor and ■ other odd things of a simitar sort. ■ The Mayor— What has that got to do with it ? ■ Several members sVimped their feet and ■ the Mayor asked Mr Gibson to keep to the paint. I Mr Gibson-I will stick to the point. All ■ I say is thatl the ratepayers will understand H that they have been let in for a lawsuit and I that the costs will amount to £ 1,000 roonor I or latw. They will know and understand I who their friends are. Mr C M Williams I made a point of the fact Vliat the persons ■ who went. up to London as witnesses and sent I in low ibilVs of expenses were the friends Gf I the town. If the friends of the ratepayers I are those- who let the raepayers in for a law- I suit costing LI,000, I am satisfied. The I whole statement* that I have had anything a I do with the case is absolutely untrue. I Mr Wm Thomas Faid he agreed with what I he had heard Alderman Jones sav repeatedly I that; it was wcJI the Council sh-7u!d know I exactly their position in reference to the I matter. It was said repeatedly 1-(bat the I costs would be something enormous, but the ■ Council w&uld agree with him thati the costs I were less than they had expected. "With r> ■ ference to the statement that he had wished I Mr Gibson's death, it was wholly incorrect. I Mr Gibson-I have proved it before. Other I members have coroborat(ed me. I The Mayor asked Mr Thomas not to refer I to the statement. It was dead and gone. I Mr Gif.json—Yes, but I am not. I The Mayor—Do not, dig it up again. Mr I Thomas. I Mr Wm Thorn as—It is, rather hard when a I man is accused wrongly that I should not be I allowed to say in a Ilew quiet words what is true. I Mr Gibson—You uttered them and I can I prove it. (Cries otr "No.") I Mr Wm Thomas said he proposed a resolu- I tion at the committee and was seconded by I Mr Gib^n There was a. jolly little laugh I Mr Gibson—Yes, jolly I Mr Wm Thomas—And I said that Mr Gib- I son was improved and that I was atraid he I woutld not live long. I Mr Gibson—You said you wcmld be glad to I be at my funeral. (Cries of "No") I Mr Wm Thomas—I am obliged to the gen- I tlemen who were present; for saying "No." Mr Gibs,on-Iliere are gentlemen who are absent who can say "Yes" and there a,re gentlemen here whose hearts am beating who know the truth Mr Wiliams said he found that early in 1904 the Corporation decided to take over the liiability of Mi's Morgan. They were asked in July, 1903 in a letter from Messrs Roberts and Evans to do so. Mr Gibson—I was not on the Council then. Mr Wijiiams said that Mr Gibson was on the Council before 1904. He did not safi that Mr Gibson had voted in favour of the case, but there was no effective pibtest. Mr Gibson—I protested strongly against the policy of the 'Blind Following-" Mr Williams said that mis-statements were hurled against members of the Council and if they were not contradicted they were taken as true. What he said was that the total costs up to the present Mr Gibson—You left those words out. Mr Williams again relerred to Mr Gibson's speech when Alderman Jones suggested that the discussion shoulld be limited to the pro- position before the meeting. Mr Williams—I can quite understand Aid. Jones trying to limit me. The Mayor—I quite agree with Alderman Jones, but when insinuations are made it is difficult not to reply. Mr Williams—Has Mr Jones ever been an- xious to stop Mr Gibson who sits by his side and hurls mis-statements? No, lie is silent, but he gets up when we reply to those state- ments. Mr Gibson—Who are we" ? Mr Williams-Members of the Council. We are not u. Mr Gibson-You are speaking for the lot? Mr Williams—No. I have not assumed that infsllibilitN- Mr Gibson—Then who are you and who am I? Mr Williams—I should not like to describe you. Mr Gibson-I am a member of the Coun- cil. This is an electioneering speech. The Mayor-It is in good time. Mr Williams added that there had not been any rebutting evidence against any single statement he had made and he was willing for the public to judge. He should like, the Town Clerk to produce the minute of any re- port stating that Mr Gibson was appointed a member of the Law Committee. Mr Gibson—I was appointed when chair- man of the Finance Committee. Mr WIlliams-There is no ex-officio mem- bers. Mr Gibson—I never said there was. Mr Wlfiiiiiis-Tlie insinuation is that we banded together t.) keep you out. Mr Gibson-That is so. Mr Williams—It is not true. i I Mr Gibson—You will not have me on. I asked you to put me on at the last meeting. Mr Williams-You mentioned that you were on the Finance Committee and we know how you treated your colleagues on one or two occasions. You treated them as —— Mr Gibson—As what ? Mr NVillipiiis-I should not like to describe as what. Mr Gibson—He cannot describe his own col- leagues. It was then decided to pass the accounts and the report was adopted, it being explained that the groyne opp< site the Castle Point should be 120 feet. The matter, with correspondence re- lating to Messrs Ed wards Bros., were referred back to the Committee. THE WHOLE COUNCIL. Attention having been called to the fact that Mr Howe published a programme con- taining the advertisement of a locaj firm and programmes ctf the performances on the Pier Head and that the official programmes provided by the Council were virtually sup- pressed. it was decided at a meeting cf the Committee of the whale Council that the official programme should contain no trade advertisement and that Mr Rowe should be required to discontinue the practice of dis- tributing any -other nrogranime during the band's evening performance and to omit the evening programme from any other programme he might publish. A letter was read fro Mr La Camera's solici- tors stating that their client had sustained severe loss in pocket add reputation by reason of alleged breach -of contract on the part of the Council or the iBand Committee and that they were instructed to demand compensation, or commence proceeding's to ■recover damages and they proposed to sue alternatively the Council, or one or two prominlent memberA the;, Band Com- mittee. The Committee of the whole Coun- cil recommended that the Town Oerk shou.d reply that the Councii and Band Committee disclaimed any liability* to Mr La Camera. Miss S W Cockbill wrote complaining of the noise and nuisance caused bv the Mid-Wa)es motor garage in Queen's-road where on Mon- day night. it was alleged, the noise of ham- mering was incessant from midnight imtij three o'clock a.m. and again commenced at six o'clock. Instructions were given to write to the proprietors and to request that steps should be taken to prevent any recurrence of the cause of complaint. With regard to the Great Western lia.i.ii-a.-vi advertising, the Committee were prepared to meet at a date convenient, to the directors of Messrs Wills, Ltd. Mr Inglis, general manager of the Great Western Railway, wrote in reply to the Coun- cils letter that the Company would take all steps they considered necessary for biing- ing to the notice of the public the attrac- tions of Aberystwyth but as there were many places similarly, situated to Aberystwyth on the Company's system it would creato sia undesirable precedent if the Company ar- ranged to share in the "Daily Telegraph" advertisement and the Council were asked not to press the matter further. It was decided son to put two bathing tents on Castle beach, a similar application having been recently -refused. It was agreed that the advertise- ment in the Silver Sea" column of the I" Daily Telegraph" should be continued until the end of September provided the Cambrian Railway Company contributed a moiety of the cost as before. Mr Barnett Pareezer having writhen that- he was (prepared to sublet the whole or any oortion of the Market HalJ, in he could do so, and enquir- ing what rent the Council could offer the Town C.erk reported an interview with the Secretary of the Corn Market Company, who stated that the rent now paid. by Mr Pareezer for the whoje of the premises was £ 150 a year, that the unexpired term of the existing ieafci was about seven years, and that the Company were prepared to negoti- ate. The letter was ordered to be forwarded to the Markets Committee. It was recom- mended that applications for licenses to drivers of hackney carriages should hedea;t with by the Inspectors subiect to certificates of good character and competency1. A re- port was received from Inspector Davies stating that nine .licensed watermen were plying pleasure boats 'for hire on Sunday, August 5th. The matter was deferred for further consideration. Licenses for four drivers and two owners of hackney carriages granted by the Inspectors were recommended for confirmation. Mr Gibson, referring to the town band pro- gramme, said that the matter was brought before the Committee of the whole Couneil which was another name for the General Purposes Commit- tee. That matter had been brought on after the other business bad been transacted and yet it was brought on first in the report. He was standing near the door and was told by the Mayor that there was no other business to come on. The matter, however, was not only brought on after some members had left, but was put clean out of its order on the agenda. There must be something behind that in more than one way. The tradesman whose advertisement was men- tioned was Mr Rea, who was one of the largest ratepayers in the town. Mr Rea either made arrangements to get a copy of the programme which the hand played or he made other arrange- ments to get another copy. It wns unjust and unfair that the Council should interfere with advertisements of one of the most prominent tradesmen of the town. H should like to ask the Town Clerk whether the programme had been copyrighted, and whether the Council could prevent, anyone from copying it. The Town Clerk replied that the programme had not been copyrighted and there was nothing to prevent the programme being issued by others. Of course if the Council copyrighted their pro- gramme they could prevent others copying it. Mr Gibson having had that answer, asked if it was not very mean—he would not say despicable —to interfere with a man's insight in conducting his business? It was open for anybody to do the same. Was it not too bad that the Council should try to put the screw on one of the fore- most ratepayers of the town in reference to his own skill in advertising ? He said it was scan- dalous. The Mayor said Mr Gibson insinuated that the matter was brought on at the Committee after he had left. Mr Gibson-Not by you. I think we ought to have been told by the member who brought it up that it was coming on. The Mayor-Do you not remember that you were in such a hurry to leave ? Mr Gibson-Yes, I am engaged in important businesses. The Mayor said he wanted Mr Gibson to wait because he (the Mayor) wanted instructions as to the issue of licences to drivers. He wanted to know whether in conjunction with the Inspector he could issue licences without waiting to call a committee and it was agreed that it should be done. There was no reason for keeping the mat- ter of the programme back in order to go behind Mr Gibson. Mr Gibson did not say there was; but he aked if there was any other business to come on and was told there was not. The Mayorsaid he might have said that, but he could not recollect it. Mr Gibson was in such a hurry to go; but if he had waited until the end he would have heard it the same as the or.her members. Mr Gibson proposed the Committee's recom- mendation with reference to that matter should be left out of the report. Mr Williams said the Mayor had correctly described what occurred. Mr Gibson was in a desparate hurry and asked whether there was qny more business, but the Mayor was not sup- posed to repeat his answer to the questions all the time. Mr Gibson That is quite enough. I was per- fectly right in asking. I have a business to see to. Some people have no business. The Mayor-So we all have. You are not the onlv one. Mr Williams said he would not submit to any more statements that might be made. The Coun- cil was the laughing stock of all the country. Mr Gibson—You will have to get all that I have to give you. Mr Wiiliams-I have had it for years. You and your father have done your utmost and I am none the worse. Mr Gibson-There we have the true spirit. Mr Williams-I will meet you on your own ground. I am not going to allow these state- ments to be made. Mr Gibsoti-You can only meet me on my own ground. You have none of your own. I am not going to allow your statemets either, Mr Williams said that when a member spoke the truth he was charged with having done something behind the scenes. The matter of advertising was rightly brought on. There was dissatisfaction in the town in reference to it. He thought-all the members as friendly with Mr Rea as Mr Gibson. Mr Gibson—I doubt it. The Mayor-Tliat is uncalled for. Mr Gibson—I do doubt it. Mr W illiams said Mr Rea was not the only large provision merchant in the town and it was not fair,to allow one to use the town programme more than the others Mr Gibson-Let them all do it. All tradesmen. Mr Williams said the Council decided upon a programme without advertisements and to their surprise another programme with advertise- rs being distributed. i„ orde- to avoid friction they asked Mr Rowe to discontinue the distribu- tion of any other programme except the official programe. Several provision merchants thought of petitioning the Council, but did not do so on finding the matter was dealt with in committee. It was all very well to ask a high and mighty question about I lie copyriglil. ° Mr Gibson—Is it high and mighty to ask whether the programme has been copyrighted ? I will issue a programme myself next week, if you likij. Mr Williams, continuing his speech, Mr Gibson said, "Sawdust, sawdust nothing but sawdust." Mr Gibson explained that Mr Rea's men dis- tributed the programmes now. Mr William* said that copies of the official programme '^oulcl not be obtained some evenings and Mr Gibson s lid that showed they had his well-distributed. Mr William I'homas cous-ic'ered that Mr Rowe had served the town well and that it would not he a question of copyright with him as he would no (loubt fall in with the wishes of the Corpor- ation, Was it right that any tradesman should monopolise the official programme? Mr Davies then rose to speak, but the Mayor pnid that Mr William Thomas had closed the discussion by replying, whereupon Mr Davies remarked that he supposed he must obey. Mr Gibson—You have a right to speak. Why do you not speak l. Mr Davies—The gallant captain is on the deck and he will not, allow me to speak. Mr Gibson—Then throw the captain overboard. The Mayor—It would take a cleverer man than you to do that. Mr Davids—I do not know. The report was then adopted. PUBLIC LIGHTS. The payment- of L207 14s 6d for the quar- ter to tho Gas Companv a.id the Electricity Supply Company was recommended by the Public Lights Committee as compared with £ 202 6s lid in the corresponding quarter of 1905. 'The Chairman (Mr Wijiam Thomas) was requested to interview the resident en- gineer of the Electricity Supply Company and the Managing director of the Gas Com- pany and obtain further information on the lighting of the town. The Committee de- cided to visit Loveden-road at an early date as complaints were made that the street was: not property lighted. The attention of the Electricity Company was called to the defec- tive lighting of the town during the past month. The report was adopted, Mr Wiliiam Thomas saying there was a small reduction in the Elec- tricity Supply Company's bill owing to lamps be- ing out. He'had seen both managers with regard to the future lighting of the town and would con- vene a nieetino- of the. Committee shortlv. [ Mr Samuel saying that the amount was more I thin last year. Mr William Thomas said that was on account of there having been more lamps. An application by the Gas Company for per- mission co make an experiment on Marine-terrace with the object of improving the fpresent system of lighting was referred to the Committee. MORTGAGES. The corporate seal was affixed to mortgages forming part of the mortgage paid off on water works account. ABSTRACT OF ACCOUNTS. The abstract of accounts for the year ended March 31st with Mr Graham King's report were referred to the Finance Committee. The Council then went into Committee.

DOLGELLEY Obituary—On August 19th the death of Miss Jones, of Bank House, took place after a long illness. Miss Jones was a, sister to Mis J Richards, N and S Wales Bank, with whom she was staylijig. She was a young ladv of high character and was a member of the Wesleyan Church, where her loss will be felt. She assisted in the promotion of every gcod cause and was loved by the mem- bers of every denomination at Dolgelley. She was a daughter of Mr Jones,late reliev- ing officer of Dolgelley. Her remains were interred at Dyffryn in the family burial ground. Great sympathy was showed to- wards Mr and Mis John Richards, and the rest of the family in tTTeir sad bereavement. Flower Show.—Next Wednesday the an- nual show will be held under the presidency of Colonel Scott, when there will be a grand variety of flowers, fruits, etc. An instru- mental band also wiil be in attendance. Distinguished Visitors The- town is crowded with visitors and it is said that so many visitors has never before been seen at Dolgelley. Among those staying at Dol- gelley over last Sunday was the Lord Maybr of London, who was motoring through Wales. g Shooting.—On Wednesday a shooting match took place at Drwysnant between a team from K Company (Dolgelley) and B Company (Portmadoc) of the 3rd V Æ. Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The match had only been arranged the previous afternoon and some difficulty was 'found in getting the Dolgelley men together as they are scattered over the country from Barmouth and Fairbourne to Bala. The atmosphere was clear and the weather warm with a nice breeze, but this breeze seems to have caused some trouble to some members of the team and spoiled many a score at the longer distances. The conditions were seven rounds per man at 200, 500, and 600 yiards at B'isley targets. The Portmadoc team won by the narrow margin of 24 points and were just able to finish and catch their train home after firing them- selves while the Dolgelley men stayed on to fire and reached home a little after nine. The scores are as follows:— PORTMADOC. 200 500 600 Tl.

Present: Messrs Robert Hughes, chair- man; M. G. Williams, vice-chairman; Mey- rick Roberts, John Jones, Owen Jones, Hugh Evans, Thomas Owen, Morris Jones David Jones, John Roberts, M M Morgan, Griffith Pou '-1, R W Davies, John Jones, Hugh Jones, Jones Griffith, clerk'; W T Lloyd, assista. c clerk; John Edwards, sanitary inspect.,r; and Dr Hugh Jones, medical officer. Financial. Mr Meytrick Roberts presented the report of the Finance Committee, which showed that the amount in the Treasurer's hands was L108 13s 7d.; cheques paid that day to- talled L196 13s 2d., leaving an overdraft of I £ 87. Measles. On the motion of Mr Meyrick Roberts, se- conded by Mr John Jones, it was decided to apply to the Local Government Board for sanction to rescind the resolution which had been passed to include measles as a notifiable disease. Mr Roberts contended that no benefit was derived from the notification of measles, although it had been more expen- sive than the notification of other diseases. He was on the best of terms with doctors and did not bring the matter forward from any lllfeeluig toward them. Isolation Hospital. The Clerk reported that as directed at the previous meeting; he had ascertained the views of the parish councils with reference to the proposed erection of an isolation hos. pital. With the exception two parishes who had not replied, the unanimous feeling was against the movement and some of the parish councils protested strongly. It was contended that the hospital would serve no useful purpose for the rural districts and that the rates were too burdensome to justify the Council in making a contribu- tion.—On the proposition of Mr Meyrick Roberts, seconded by Mr M G Williams, it was decided to rescind the previous resolu- tion to become responsible for one third of the cost and that no further steps should be taken in the matter. Sanitary. In his report, the Sanitary Inspector stated that he had disinfected houses in the parishes of Llanonddwyn, Llanaber, Lian- fachreth, Brithdir, and Islaw'rdref. A no- tice had been served on the Manager of the Corris Railway requesting him to abate the nuisance arising from an accumulation of manure. The farm house of Cwmynnch isaf, Llanaber, was in a bad state and the present owner should be pressed to put in a habitable condition before the fipnroach of winter.
