TOWN COUNCIL MEETING, TUESDAY.— Pre- eiit Councillor Hugh Pugh (mayor), in the chair; Aldermen JamesRees, J. P. de Winton, I G. R. Rees. L. Lewis, Councillors Dr. J. Wil- liams. E. H. Owen (Tycoch), T. Williams, R. Williams, W. H. Owen, J. Jones, R. R. Wil- liam- J. Lloyd, R. Thomas, and G. GriSiths. Applicatioii for the nse of iÍlp Guild Hall.—The Mayor informed the meeting that the Independents, attending Salem chapel, who are about to make some alterations to that place of worship, had applied to him for the use of the Guild Hall on Sundays for a period of about two months. The use of the hall had been granted a short time ago, under similar circumstances, to the Wesleyans, on payment of gas and making good every damage done to the chairs, &c. After a short discussion, it was resolved on the motion of Councillor Griffith Griffiths, seconded by Councillor Thomas Wil- liams, to grant the use of the hall to the Indepen- dents for three months. The Militia Entertii,,merits.—A letter was read from Mrs W. H. Carter, on behalf of the ladies committee, returning warm thanks to the Mayor and other members of the Council for having granted the Guild Hall for holding free entertain- ments for the militiamen. The committee had great pleasure in saying that the movement had been a decided success owing to the assistance and sympathy shown to them by ladies and gentlemen in the town generally. Having a small balance (12s lid; in hand, the committee thought it better to hand the amount over to the borough fund.. The Toxcn Water Supply.—Alderman James Rees introduced the subject of extending the water pipe from the present inlet below Nant Mill to Cwellyn Lake, so as to ensure an adequate supply of pure water. He was more and more convinced of the necessity of securing a better supply of water from what lie had heard since the last meeting. Mr Jones, the surveyor, had informed him that lie was doing all he could to bank up the water, but he had failed to fill up the pipes. The pipes not being filled up with water, they took in a large quantity of air, and this was one cause for the complaint that the water did not rise. New houses were being built above the present source, and the sewerage must percolate from them into the river, if it was not actually drained into it. In this hot weather the farmers sent their cattle to the river to water. and there the\ stood rendering the water impure. He was of opinion it would be much better and cheaper to extend the pipe to the lake at once instead of leaving it where it was.—Alder- man de Winton observed that there was a great deal of wilful waste of water going on in the town. z, This, he believed, was the cause of the present in- convenience to the consumers. He was sure that if the waste was prevented there would be plenty of water for everybody. The long and short of it was, that the town could not afford to carry the pipes to Quellyn, Lil, He was of opinion that the water from the present source was (luite pure for all practical purposes, although, of course, it would be much better from the lake than from the river.—The Maytir: We have plenty of water now, while three months ago we were very short indeed. Councillor John Williams observed that the foun- tain in Castle-square is in a very dry and dis- graceful state. Aldermjm Lewis asked what I amount would be required'to extend the pipe from the present inlet to the lake ?—The Surveyor: About £ 4000.—Alderman Lewis said he perfectly agreed with Alderman J. Rees as to the desirability of extending the water pipe to the lake. Anyone going up Waenfawr might s?e cattle in the river. Again, a number of houses were now being built above the'present inlet.—Councillor J. Williams observed that according to the analysis of the medical officer of health the water was perfectly pure, and he therefore asked what was the use of I spending money in that way when urgent improve- ments were needed in the town.—Alderman G. R. Rees But we have no money.—Councillor Wil- liams —And if we had money it would be useless to spend them in that way.—Councillor Richard Thomas said they might as well spend any money they had in town improvements if they had pure; water.—Councillor Dr. Williams: If we cannot get water it is because of the waste.—Alderman de Winton produced a couple of water valves which were used by some consumers in the town. One of them, he said, was very much worn into and he contended that a great deal of waste would be the natural consequences, if, as there was every reason to believe was the case, the taps were gen- erally out of order in the town. Until lately, they had no one to go round and inspect these taps. If the consumers negiectcd to attend to the taps, they must be compelled to do so.-Aldermaii G. R. Rees thought the consumers were very much to I blame because of tlieiaxtrava-ttiiee. Mr Jones, the surveyor, had informed him of a certain gentleman in town who was in the habit of following his bath six times a day.—Conneillor R. R. Williams called attention to the leakage recently found out at Cae Cinamon. It had always been thought that the .water flowed from a spring, whereas a leakage had existed there for about six years.—Aldermam De Winton said that the notices ought to be printed and served upon the consumers, informing them that if their water fittings were not properly pre- pared proceedings would be taken against thm,- In reply to Alderman De Winton, the Surveyor said that about one-thifd of the water fittings in the town had been examined.—After further dis- cussion, it was resolved to issue notices cautioning consumers against wasting the water. The Sanitary Committee and its Rcomraendatious.— The minutes of the sanitary committee, held on the previous Friday, were read by Councillor John Williams. The meeting recommended that the plans of the new premises, proposed to be built for the Eryri Steam Sawing Mill Co., at the back of iforiah- terrace, be approved, provided that the chimney is built high enough to carry the smoke j clear of the adjoining houses, and that a smoke consumer be fixed. Plans of cottages to be erected for Mr Hugh Williams, Eastgate-street, in Dib orw^g-street, were also recommended to be passed. It is intended to build these cottages opposite those lately erected by Mr John Jones.-)Ir O. Griffith, slate works, submitted plans of a new slate yard to be built by him in the same street. The plan* were approved. — The plan-; of lock-up shops for Mr Morgan Lloycl were examined. The shops will occupy the open space in front of the Bonded Warehouse. The sanitary meeting recommended that the plans be passed, subject to the Surveyor's satisfaction. The committed trusted that Mr Lloyd would throw back the frontage of the shops in a line with the Brunswick Buildings. —The Surveyor reported that lie had examined the Guild Hall with the view of ascertaining what repairs are needed to render the building water- tight. It would be necessary to erect scaffolding sufficiently high to reach the caves, so that. every joint in the cornices (many of winch are now open and leaking) may be thoroughly examined and repaired, if necessary. The gable in Hole-in-thc- wall street, which is now damp, will be required to be repointed and probably painted. The bal- cony, fronting High-street, required repairs, and the outside, where it has changed colour, re-tooled. There is at present £ 60 available for repairing the hall, and it would be desirable that the outside work should be completed as soon as possible, and that the question of the internal repairs be consi- dered at a future meeting. The Guild Hall.—.Councillor R. R. William? remarked that the repairs to tfie Guild Ilall might be more effectually done by day-work, and not by contract. On the motion of Alderman G. R. Rees, seconded by Councillor Griffiths, it was agreed that the gable end of the hall be repaired first. Proposed Roadtriy alongside the Cadnaxi 2iiv:r. -P,eft-.riu- to the plans of the proposed new saw mills at the back of Moriah-tcrraee, Alderman Lewis remarked that a very great improvement could be effected by making a road alongside of the river, which might easily be covered, thus affording an entrance into the neighbourhood of Tan'rallt, which, at present, could only be reached from Twthill. Such a road, he thought, would in a great way remove the complaints which now 11 I existed with reference to the locality.—Coun- cillors'W. H. Owen and R. R. William i/expressed similar opinions, and urged the council to take the matter in hand.—Councillor Richard Thomas remarked that the formation of such a road in the locality would greatly increase the value of. the property which belonged to Sir William Clark. Mr Owen Jones, the borough treasurer, was the agent to the estate.—Mr Owen Jones, who was sent for, promised to convey to the owner of the property the feelings of the council upon the matter.—After some discussion, it was resolved,' on the motion of Councillor R. R. Williams, that a committee be formed to consider the desirability of having a roadway made alongside the Cadnant river from Moriah-terrace to Tan'rallt, power being given to the committee to make any arrange- ments approved by them. The plans of the pro- posed new steam mills, together with those of Mr Morgan Lloyd's new lockup shops, were referred to the (committee.—The committee, accompanied by Mr O. Jones, inspected the site of the proposed new saw mills at the close of the meeting. A Word to the Police. -AI(lerni,;Iii Do Winton called attention to the manner in which property was being destroyed in the tov.-n, especially in the slate quay. The harbour trustees, at that mor- ning's meeting, considered the matter.. Slates and timber were destroyed almost wholesale by boys, and as for window breaking, why it is with a wonder how people escape there. Boys also threw stones at passing trains. The other dap, his sister was passing in a train when a stone fell on the top of the carriage, and started all the occupants. He understood that engine-drivers complain very much. The police, he thought, ought to attend more strictly to this than they do. It was very seldom a police officer went into the neighbourhood of the quay, and when lie did go he was in his uniform, and only frightened bovs away. Steps ought to be taken to punish these offenders so as to make an example of them to others. He thought that if the Mayor were to complain to the police, something might be done in the matter. The harbour trustees had written to the Chief Constable, but it appears that this had very little effect, as a policeman was only seen in the neighbourhood for a few days.—Councillor R. Williams remarked 110 was very glad to hear Alderman De Winton bringing this subject for- ward. I Many windows were damaged in the neighbourhood of Segontium-terracc.-The Mayor said that he went round last Sunday, accompanied by several other gentlemen. It was astonishing to see such a number of men and boys on the quay on the Sabbath Day. One boy had been summoned by a police officer for using a catapult, and he was censured and ordered to pay the costs. The bcnch had told the police about the matter, and would tell them again. What further steps could "be taken?—Alderman Lewis referred to the desirability of issuing placards cautioning boys against throwing stones and injur- ing property. He instanced a case in which a stone, hurled through the window of Moriah chapel-house, had grazed the head of a man who was at tea. He (Alderman Lewis) thought it was time to prosecute the ringleaders.—Alderman de Winton said it was of no use warning them. A heavy fine ought to be inflicted. Referring to the police, he observed that he always noticed them in Turf-square, but did not see them anywhere else. —Councillor R. R. Williams: Quite true.—Alder- man Lewis Last Sunday, Councillor Thomas and myself visited Garnett's Lake (Llyn Garnets), and there found seven or eight boys bathing.—Coun- cillor R. Williams remarked that he had been speaking with an official in the force, who really seemed to pity the boys because they had no place to play," and because they were now sent from one place to the other (laughter).—Alder- man de Winton said that at the.harbour trust meet- ing the desirability of getting a private constable was referred to, but it was quite outrageous to think of getting a private constable to look after property for which heavy rates were paid.—After further discussion, it was resolved to publish notices, and to request the police to use greater exertions in pro- tecting property, and to visit the quay and other places in plahl clothes.—The Mayor promised to see Mr Prothero, the deputy chief-constable, on the following day. The Working-men''s Cottages.—Councillor Richard Thomas said he had seen Captain Stewart with reference to the movement advocating the erection of working men's cottages in the town. Captain Stewart expressed himself favourablv to the pro- ject, and had informed him (Councillor Thomas) that sixty houses could be erected in Henwalia. and he had also promised to attend a meeting of the committee, cither on Monday or Tuesdav. °
