ADJOUUNEU MEETJLN G. THE RECENT ELECTION. MR THOMAS LEWIS EXPLAINS. INSULTING INTERRUPTIONS. REFUSED A HEARING. An adjourned meeting of the Council was held on Wednesday evening, under the presidency of the Mayor (Councillor Grey Edwards). The other members present were Aldermen T. Lewis, E. Jones, H. Savage, R. Langtord Jones Councillors R. Owen, T. G. Williams, J. Williams, E. Jones, Rowland Jones, W. Bayne, Kichard Wilhams, and W. P. Mathews; Messrs J. A. Rodway (de- puty town clerk), J. Gill (surveyor), Smith Owen (accountant), and J. Smith (gas manger). THE GAZELLE TAVERN. The Pier and Ferry Committee reported that 28 amplications had been received for the posts of manageress of the Gazelle Tavern and collector of tolls on the Anglesey side. This number was reduced to eight, and two withdrew, leaving six. The committee asked the Council to authorise them to ask Mr and Mrs Griffith, of Liverpool; and Mr and Mrs J. Williams, Upper Bangor, to appear before them, the committee to have power to make such terms as they might consider neces- SftMr R. Davies (chairman of the committee} moved that the report be confirmed, and Mr W. Bayne secouued. The Mayor observed that the house was closed that day; and therefore the committee ought to ^Colonef Savage characterised the closing of the house as a bad arrangement, and said that the license in consequence might be jeopardised.. He did not know wno was to blame; and he might point out that they could have had a transfer of the license without the house being took advantage of anything nowadays to object to the renewal of a license. kle strongly advised the Council to put some one ia the house at once. It was resolved to ask Mr W. Edwards or Mr Morgan to take charge of the house until the ap- pointment was made. VOTING AN HONORARIUM. On the motion of Mr T. Lewis, it was resolved that an honorarium of £10 be given to Mr Hulme, clerk of the works, whose engagement in connection with the pier had terminated. POSTAL. A letter was read from Mr D. Jones (postmaster) stating that it had been arranged to close the sub- offices at Glanadda and Hirael on Wednesday afternoons for indoor business, the collection and delivery of letters not being affected, and asking if the Council had any objection to this course being taken. Mr R. Owen complained that the late delivery at Glanadda had been stoppel since the advent of the present postmaster. It was resolved to inform the postmaster that it would be a great inconvenience to have the offices mentioned close. REARRANGING COMMITTEES. At the meeting held on Monday it was proposed that the water should be taken from the Water aad Gas Committee and placed under the control.of the Sanitary Committee, which was te be called the Sanitary, Hospital, and Water Committee; and the Mayor now asked the Accountant if such an arrangement would cause any inconvenience as re- garded the accounts. The Accountant replied that there would be no difficulty. The Mayor believed that an arrangement by which the water would be placed under the con- trol of the Sanitary Committee would prove more satisfactory than the preeent one. Mr T. Lewis maintained that they should look upon the gas and water as a whole. It was not simply a matter of accounts. The question ought to be fully gone into, and he had an idea of mov- ing an amendment that gas and water should re- main together as they were under the control of the Water and Gas Committee. Mr Lewis, refer- ring to the rearranging and the appointing of certain committees as done at Monday's meetiag, said I feel very much because of the manner this has been brought about; and it does not require Ja sage to know what underlies it. I have, fortunately or unfortunately, been what you please to call an obstructionist. Of course, I have my strong con- victions, and you, Mr Mayor, and, no doubt, many of you, have your convictions, and strong ones too, upon t" is question. I havj felt very strongly anil do feel strongly. The reason given for upsetting the committees is not sufficient; and I think I have a great deal to do with it. I was put upon the Gas Committee because,as" was then said, I had had long connection with the gas and water works, and that I might be ot si ne service. But, I suppose, because of certain steps I took recently, you, the majority on the Council, have thought well to drop my name j from that committee. < The Mayor: That is not the point under con- 1 sideration. Mr T. Lewis: I have asked your permission, Mr ] Mayor. I am making an explanation, and I have a right to do so. I have been a public man in ■ Hangor for 40 years, and I have a position to up- hold, and I, therefore, claim a right, whilst in the presence of this Council to make an explanation and prove how certain things have been worked during the past few months. I have tried to do j my duty on ev^ry Board in this town during the ( last 40 years, a;j 1 whatever I have said or written ( I have endeavoured to be strictly correct, and this I repeat. j Mr J. Williams: Can I say one word? I g cannot listen to any gentleman praising himself. £ I shall withdraw from the meetiBg if he con- t-'nuee. Mr T. Lewis, uumindful of the interruption essayed to proceed, when The Mayor said: We mast prolest. Wo cannot sit her* all night. Mr Lewis I am aware that the majority on the Council have been looking over the minutes there (pointing to a minute book on the table) in order to try and find something to substantiate what they have said. I have brought the records of the Council here to-night. I had the honour to sit as an alderman in August, 1894, and I was placed on the Gas Committee on the 27th The Mayor: We have nothing to do with the matter Mr T. Lewis If you (the remainder of the sentence was lost in the interruption that took place, duriag which Mr J. Williams was heard to exclaim We have:been elected as well."). Mr T. Lewis (still standing) On the 27th August. 1894 Mr T. G. Williams I rise to a point of order. It is not right that Mr Lewis should indulge in braggadocio. I cannot listen to this. The Mayor: We shall be here all night. Mr Lewis (sternly): You have asserted that I mooted a scheme which would cost jE30,000 or .£40,000 of the ratep&yeia' money. Dr L. Jones: I think this ought to cease. Mr Lewis: I say there is nothing whatsoever in those records to justify that assertion. In fact, I am charged with having mooted this scheme in 14 days after I had been placed upon the committee (Interruption). If you do not listen it shall be otherwise made ynown. I am entitled on account of my age and because of what I have done ilk this 4- +- offer an explanation and to give an em- phatic denial to the statement that I have misled the people, with regard to the question of gas and electricity. What has been stated in a manifesto is an injustice to me. I said nothing but what are facts, and there are the minutes before you. In the manifesto issued by the electric light party the following appears:- h On September 12th, 1894, Mr Thomas Lewis and Mr J. Evan Roberts signed a report which read as follows :—' That the necessary steps be taken to obtain the foreshore in front of the Friars' field with the view to the removal of the gas works when such shall be deemed necessary, and that a new gasholder be erected there and con- nected with the present works as early as possible. Mr J. E. Roberts and Mr Robert Owen were, ia addition to myself, members of the sub-committee which had this report, drafted by the gas manager, under consideration bat I wish to point out that it was not signed by Mr J. E. Roberts. It was simply signed by myself, and nothing further was done. Therefore, it cannot be said that not only has a scheme costing JE30,000 been mooted, but that Mr Thomas Lewis and Mr J. E. Roberts mooted it themselves." Such a statement, as appeared in the manifesto, is entirely misleading, and I believe that some gentlemen would not have put their names to such a document had they known the true tacts. If you, Mr Mayor, rule me out of order, I will not say anything further, but will allow the responsibility to rest upon you. However, I must say that the statement that I mooted a scheme to cost £ 40,000 is without a shadow of foundation. Mr Lewis then resumed his seat. Mr R. 0-ven: What sub-committee does he mean ? The Mayor: You better be quiet. The question under consideration is whether the water should be placed under the control of the Sanitary Com- mittee. Mr 1". Davies moved that this be done, and Mr T. G. Iliams seconded. Colo si Savage moved a direct negative, this being (seconded. The Mayor There is no other object in com- bining water and sanitation than that it would be better for the town. Mr T. Lewis asked whether the majority on the Council were losing confidence in themselves when they appointed on the Lighting Committee gentle- men opposed to the electric light scheme. Why did they not carry through the scheme themselves as they did last year ? (hear, hear). The Mayor: I cannot see what that has to do with the matter. A division was then taken, when eight voted in favour of combining water and sanitation and nve against. y
HOW THE LTFE OF MR. WATSON…
HOW THE LTFE OF MR. WATSON WAS SATED. Mrs Mary Watson, 8, Fleming Street, Govan, I Glasgow, writes that her husband was afflicted with a serious attack of Bright's disease of the kidneys. First one doctor and then another was consulted, but neither of them seemed to do any good, indeed, one of them said from the first that it was a hope- less case. He had been ill about six weeks and still getting no better, and with no rest night or day, always with the feeling, when lying down, as if he would be drowned. About this time she met a friend who told her of a Mr Dick, who had been cured by Warner's Safe Cure, and recommended her strongly to get some for her husband, as he had never known it to fail. Mr Watson began to take this remedy, and after he had taken the fourth bottle, the water came away as black as porter, and with flakes in it like snow, and he gradually got better, and was able to be up in a fortnight. Now he is completely cured and working at his trade, that of a carpenter. But I for God's goodness and Warner's Safe Cure he wo..l i have been in his grave. This speaks volumes for the curative powers of Warner's Safe Cure, and more and more proves that it is bhe only remedy which effectually cures kidney disease.

Williams, Father Jones, Messrs R. Normau Davies (vice-chairman), R. O. Poberts, D. T. Edwards; and Mr J. H. Thomas (C1--Lk). ATTENDANCE OFFICER'S REPORT Mr McLaughlin (attendance officer) imported as follows tor the month of October:—Board S chool: 280 boys on the books, and 236 in average attend- ance 263 girls on the books, and 202 in average attendance; 333 infants on the books, and 203 in average attendance. National School: 221 boys, 225 girls, and 313 infants on the books, while in average attendance there were 187 boys, 173 girls, and 206 infants. Twthill Board mixed): 131 on the books, and 84 in average attendance. The totals for jail the schools were 1798 on the books, and 1320 in average attendance, as compared with 1824 and 1317 during the same month last year. PRIZE DISTRIBUTION AT THE BOAhD SCHOOL. The Chairman said that he and other members of the Boai d were present at the recent prize dis- tribution at the Board School. He considered that thelmoney spentjin prizes were well spent, and the effect upon the school and the parents of the children was such that the Board felt certain they got value for the money. He suggested that in future the distribution should take place earlier in the year. EVENING CLASSES. The Chairman pointed out that at the last meet- ing of the Board it was resolved to start evening classes if a sufficient number of pupils would join. He now understood that 29 boys and 15 girls had expressed their willingness to join. Although the number was not so large as he would like to have seen he thought the classes might be started, and he suggested there should be two teachers for the boys and on" for the girls. By adopting this course he did not think money would be lost; possibly they might gain money. Father Jones asked what kind of young men had promised to join ? Mr T. Jones (headmaster of the boys' school): Quite different in character to what we had some years ago. Ihey are boys anxious to learn some- thing. Mr R. N. Davies: Have they sent in their fees ? Mr T. Jones: Most of them bave. Mr Davies: That shows they are anxious to learn, and that they are iona-fide scholars. Rev O. Williams; Do they attend school regu- larly ? gjfMr Jones None attend the day school. It was agreed to adopt the chairman's sug- gestion. SUCCESS OF AN ASSISTANT MASTER. Mr T. Jones (headmaster of the boys' school) in his report for the month, stated that Mr M. Williams, one of the masters, had passed in the second division of the certificated examination for schoolmasters. ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL. The Chairman said that it was very gratifying to find the steady increase that had taken place in the average attendance at the Board School, the at- tendance at the boys' school for the past month being nearly the highest on record. Mr R. N. Davies observed that the high per- centage of attendance had been maintained for some time, and was not in any way spasmodic. Mrs Hughes (head mistress of the girls' school) submitted her monthly report, which showed that the attendance for the past month had been similar to that of the previous month. The Chairman remarked that the attendance for the past month showed an increase as compared with the corresponding month of last year. Miss Kerruish (head mistress of the infants' department) reported that the :attendancefor the past month had been unsatisfactory, owing to the prevalence of measlei. THE TWTHILL SCHOOL. It was reported that the cost of the treat given to the children of the above school was defrayed out of the subscription given by Mr Bostock; that Mr Cecil Roberts, who succeeded Mr Hughes as headmaster, had left; and that the school was now under the charge of Mr Griffith, master of the Bronyfoel School, Llandwrog. The Clerk explained that Mr Cecil Roberts had accepted an appointment in England, and on the suggestion of Mr Roberts, H. M. Inspector, Mr Griffith was asked to take charge. Owing to the alterations made to his school at Llandwrog, Mr Griffith would be at liberty to take charge of the Twthill School until February or March next. In answer to advertisements several applications had been received for the headmastership of the Twt- hill School. The Chairman doubted whether the Department would allow the Board to Wntifclie the school after the next examination. Eventually the Board would do away" with the school,'and it waS, there- fore, a matter of difficulty to decide what course to adopt with regard to the headmastership. On the motion of the Rev O. Williams, seconded by Mr R. O. Roberts, it was resolved to ask Mr Griffith to take charge of the school until next Maroh. Mr Griffith expressed his willingness to remain until March, when his school was expected to be reopened. In a report he submitted upon the Twthill School he stated that the attendance and the discipline were in a very low state, which might be attributed to the prevalence of measles. He would do his best to improve the school. SITE OF NEW SCHOOLS. The Clerk read a letter from the Education De- I partment asking what was the present poaiilon of the Board with regard to the acquisition of a site for the proposed new schools. He had replied that the proceedings were progressing satisfactor- ily and that the Board would be put in possession of the siter as soon as the draft conveyance was executed. The present tenants would give up pw session as øooÐ as the document wes signed. ALLEGED1 DISMISSAL WITHOUT FAULT. A letter was read from Mr W. Owen, Llanbeblig road, asking for the amount' aJJegea j to be due to his daughter, who, he st^Jt^i was dismissed without fault and without notice. It wiis held that the Board was not liable, hud it was resolved! that a letter be few- warded to Mr Owen in the terms of a similar letter sent recently to Mr Leach in answer to a like application, a proposition by Father Jones that six months' salary be paid finding no seconder. OF INTEREST TO PARENTS. The mother of a lad 13 years of age, who was in the third standard at school, wrote asking the Board to allow her son to take up an occupation. Mr T. Jones (master of the boys' school) t If you will allow him to go away others will follow. It was resolved to inform the mother that the law would not permit her son to leave school under the present circumstances. FINANCIAL. rt.was reported that on the 29th September there was a balance of J6215 in favour of the Board. The Chairman said that JE250 would be paid in a ilay 1.- t. o to the credit of the Board by the Cor- "n" ,j and there would afterwards be due from t', :=\1. Clerk: You will end your financial year wita something to the good.

The Colwyn Bay District Council on Tuesday decided to promote in the ensuing session of Par- liament a bill for conferring further powers on the Council and tor making further and better pro- vision with reference to the improvement, health, and local government of the district. It was also resolved to offer prizes of £ 30 and £ 20 for the best schemes for supplying the district with the electric light, and to ask the railway company to erect a new station at Colwyn Bay. No medicine for the cure of Asthma, Con- sumption, Coughs, and Bronchitis was ever at- tended with such speedy and unfailing success as Dr Locock's Pulmonic Wafers. In every news- paper and periodical may be seen testimonials of their wonderful effioacy. Nothing else gives such a souad, refreshing night's rest. In hysterical and heart complaints they are unfailing, in rheumatic and nervous pain they act loke a charm. To singers and public speakers they are invaluable for clearing and strengthening, the voice. They taste pleasantly. Pnce I"8 l^d, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and lis per box. Sold by all. medicine vendors.

Mr Roberts held tuat Monachdy Gwyn was over- ass eased in respect of the gross estimated rental, the same being largely in excess of the rent actually paid. The total acreage of the farm was 447a 3r 18p. A portion of the farm to the extent of 161 acres, was in the parish of Llanaelhaiarn, and! consequently in the Pwllheli Union, and being mountainous Ian K was assessed at Is lOd per acre. The gross i. Mmated rental in the parish of Clynnog, of £ 136 o vas reduced to £ 116, and the appellant claimed ther reduction, as, in com- parison with faro. the immediate vicinity, he was much over-rated.

IBANGOR CITY COUNCIL. j
qmp- Continued, from page 7. agreed to contribute part of the expanse, and one had declined, andjsuggested that the work should be done, and a charge made on the property when buildings were erected. It was resolved that the work be not proceeded with until the owners agreed to contribute their respective shares.- College Road: The secretary of the Woman's Hostel Co. wrote enquiring whether the Council would be:ir vhe cost of re-erecting tho ittii, in addition to the making up 01 the added width of road, in consideration of the directors giving the necessary land. The surveyor was directed to inform the Company that the Council could not bear the cost of re-erecting the fence wall, but would undertake to do the whole of the work mentioned in their letter of the 3rd October, 1895. -Infant Lane: Messrs T. Lewis and Co. wrote stating that they could not admit any liability to the Corporation in the matter. It was resolved that the letter be refenei to the town clerk for his opinion and advice, and, if he thought necessary, the opinion of Mr J. Bryn "Roberts, M.P., be taken on the subject.—Trees: The surveyor, in com- pliance with the instructions of the committee, presented a list of places where the trees and shrubs overhung the road, and read the section of the Highways Act bearing on the matter. It was resolved that the surveyor be instructed to issue notices on persons concerned, calling upon them to "lop" the branches of the trees and shrubs, where the same overhumg the road.—Chairman It was resolved that the best thanks of the com- mittee be given to the Chairman (Mr Robert Hughes) for the businesslike manner in which he has conducted the proceedings of the committee during the past year.—Penrallt Road (width of): Drawings of a house proposed to be erected on a plot of land adjoining this road were considered, It was resolved that the Council be recommended to sanction the same. Mr tWo Bayne called attention to the minute relating to Infant Lane, and moved that it be left out. Mr J. E. Roberts said that the Council obtained the opinion of Mr Bryn Roberts respecting another dispute in Upper Bangor some twelve months ago, and though he believed the opinion was very decided, yet the Council took no action in the matter after spending money. Mr T. G. Williams suggested that Mr T. Lewis should retire in order that the matter might be more fully discussed. The Mayor thought that such a course would not be necessary. Mr Henry Lewis said ic appeared rather hard that the Council should commit itselt to take counsel's opinion and perhaps bi*d itself to enter into a law suit without knowing .^anything about the point at issue. Mr R. Owen said that the matter had been before the -Council on previous occasions, and therefore they ought to know something about it. Mr P. 8. Gregory explained that the committee recommended taking counsel's opinion as to whether the Council had a right to charge Messrs T. Lewis and Co. a small sum for a gangway placed over a street. Further than disposing of that one point the could not go. He considered they had discussed the question too much in open Council, and they might leave it in the hands of the committee. Mr Bayne thought the explanation given was not satisfactory, and there was nothing to justify them in going so far. The Corporation had been in the law courts before, and had come out second best. If they took action they wanted to win, and he, therefore, advised them to proceed car.,tiously in the matter. They had not had the advice of the Town Clerk as yet. The Town Clerk: I understand that the Deputy Town Clerk has given his decision once or twice before upon this matter. On a division the minutes of the committee were adopted in their entirety. SANITARY. The minutes of the Sanitary Committee included the following :—Hospital: The Matron in her re- port complained of the unsatisfactory quality of coal and portion of the provisions auppbed under the new contract. It was resolved that the Sanitary Inspector be directed to write to the contractors where goods were complained of calling their at- tention to the clause in the specification bearing on the point. -The:ohairman It was resolved that the best thanks of the^committee be given to.the Chair- man (Dr R. Langford Jones) for the very efficient manner in which he had conducted the business of the committee during the past year. The report of thecommittee was adopted. BIRTH AND DEATH RATES. Dr Langford Jones said that the death rate was 17'28, and the birth rate 22*40 per 1000 of the population. The death rate was very low for the reason that the majority of the deaths had occurred in persons over 70 years of age and infants, thi rate of mortality in ages between one and 70 being 6*96. i THE PIER AND PERRY. The Pier and Ferry Committee submitted the following reportPontoon: It was resolved that the resident engineer be instructed to da what was necessary to provide and fix two small flights of steps on the pontoon for the convenience of the fe:ry boats.—Management sub-committee: The minutes of this committee were read. The com- mittee reported that they had considered the question of salvage of the barque Minde," and the town clerk, who attended the meeting, stated that, in his opinion, the committee had a claim to the salvage of both ship and cargo. It was resolved that the town clerk be authorised and instructed to take such steps as he might find necessary to pro- secute the Council's claim, and that a special meet- ing of the Council be called to confirm the action of the committee, It was resolved that the action of the Management Sub-committee be confirmed and acted upon. Mr Riehard Williams voted against the resolution. — Clerk of Works The engineer wrote stating that the services of Mr Edwin Hulme would not be required after the next few weeks, and suggested that notice should be issued terminating his engagement. It was resolved, acting on the engineer's recommendation, that formal notice be fiven to Mr Hughes terminating his engagement, he committee availed themselves of this oppor- tunity of recording their sense of his valuable and efficient services, and for his courteous manner in which he had performed his duties during the period he had been in the employment of the corporation, and recommended the Council to con- sider the advisability of granting him an honor- arium on leaving their service.—Gazelle Tavern: It was resolved that the Town Clerk be instructed to apply for a transfer of the license from Mr Wm. Morgan to the candidate appointed by the Council. Mr Henry Lewis, referring to the recommend. ation of the committee to give the clerk of works an honorarium, did not think it would be politic for the Council to begin to give these sums from the rates. The gentleman in question had been paid for his duties, and he had been engaged twice the time he should have been, There was jnothing to prevent those members of the Council who had come in contact with Mr Hulme to recognise the service he had done (laughter). Dr R. Jones: I do not think this matter is with- out precedent. The Mayor thought that Mr Hulme had rather exceeded his duty by the personal interest he took with regard to everything connected with the pier. It was resolved that the matter should be further considered at the adjourned meeting to be held on Wednesday, and the remainder of the minutes were confirmed. ENGINEERS' REPORT. The engineer reported as follows respecting the pier I I The contract is now completed, with the exception of one or two things which have been delayed by the weather and other unavoidable cir- cumstances. Until these are complete I cannot give my final certificate. This I hope to give after my fitSj visit to the works on the 4th or 5th November. I hn ve therefore deferred making any remuneration for payment to the contractor till then. VOTE OF CONDOLENCE. -RMJ., -IU- S rn n?°^on J. E. Roberts; seconded by Mr E. Clarke, a vote of condolence and sympathy was passed with Mr Robert Roberts on the death: f his wife. REPRESENTATIVES.

( Mr Thomas Lewis proposed to apply to the Board of Trade for a provisional order to amend ( the provisions of the Bangor Corporation (Pier, ( &c.) Act, 1894, as regards borrowing: powers and L ;0. The Mayor seconded, and said if they did not get the Order they would have to pay for work out of revenue, which was not right. Mr J. E. Roberts said that the matter came before the Council without any details whatever. The Mayor observed that similar resolutions had been passed with regard to water and gas. The resolution was adopted. FINANCE. At meeting of the Finance Committee the ^GfWEULant produced bonds for the sum of A 1,200 whit*. he had negotiated at 3 per cent for the re-' deacpt on of 3 £ per cent mortgages.
