He was not giving evidence either for the Conway Counoil or the Cowlyd Board, but he Ihad had! a letter from Mr Thornton Jones (solicitor for Conway Cor- poration) stating that he should call him.- The Chairman: Has the Conway Corpora- tion appointed any expert witnesses?—The Mayor: That is our business.—Tfoei Clerk (Mr Parry) said it would; be left to Mr Chamberlains discretion to engage expert evidence.—The 'Mayor I do not tfhink that is right.—Alderman H.

(Ro- berts said Colwyn Bay paid 7d out of every shilling towards the expense, and its ratable valuei had increased j312,000 since the scheme was commenced. tHe thought Col- wyn Bay ought to have six members, and moved that the board support the memorial from Colwyn Bay for increased representa- tion.-i'Mtr R. Evans seconded' the amend- m,e,nt.—'Upon being put to the meeting, two supported the amendment, and six the ori- ginal motion, which was declared) carried. THE WORK AT THE LAKE. Replying to the -Mayor of Conway, Mr Farrington said that the work at the lake was nearly finished. though they were only able to work eight days during the last six weeks. The lake was overflowing the em- bankment, which was not yet completed, but it stood the pressure well.—The Mayor asked whether there was any further need for the clerk of the works, and) whether that officer drew hia whole salary when he was not up more. than two dlays a week, because of the weather.—iMr Farrington replied that it would! be necessary to keep the clerk of tfhe works for another two months, as the works had reached that critical stage that re- qillredl close watching. --1 'Mir J. Roberts agreed that the services of the clerk of the works was indispensable for some time yet. -The Clerk of the Works said that he only got 22 a. week, while common workmen got 'more. (Bejaidfes, he lhad to pay his ex- penses out of that sum.-In answer to the chairman, the Engineer said that the clerk of the works should! from this out—it was now that the necessity arose—be up at the works fire days a week.—IMr (Edward Ro- berts severely criticised the spending of £ 2 upon an officer who went up to tlhe works only one or two days a week.—iMr Moses Williams challenged them to prove that he had not dione hia duty. There was no better built lake in the whole of Wales. If he had done anything wrong, let them give him notice. The Mayor said that he was satis- fied after the engineer's explanation.

Efforts are now being made to restore the ancient .parish church of Llangeitho, in Cardi- ganshire, which is in a very dilapidated con- dition. This parish, from its early associa- tions with the revival of religious life in Wales under the fervid ministry of Daniel Row- lands, should (thinks the ^Record ) claim the interest of many beyoind the confines of Wales.

COLWYN BAY DISTRICT COUNCIL. THE TRAMWAY QUESTION. The monthly meeting of this council waa held on Tuesday, the members present being:—The Rev Thomas Parry (chairmaai), Rev W. Venab'es Williams, Messrs John Roberts, William Davies, Owen Williams, G. Bevan, J. Blud, H. Hughes, Hugh Davies, J. Porter, James Porter (solicitor), Mr Roberts (cleTk). THE TRAMWAY QUESTION.—Mr W. Davies moved "That the clerk be instructed to write to the Llandudno Urban District Council and other authorities concerned to ascertain whether they would be willing to meet this council for the purpose of consider- ing whether joint action could not be taken by them with a view to applying for powers for tramway purposes through their districts, and also for dealing with any application that may be made by any company for the pur- pose of laving down a tramway or light rail- way in their respactive districts." Mr Davies said that of all the resolutions he had moved in the council he considered that the most important, because he was of opinion that they should have full power over their roads. Tnough it did not follow that tihey should utilise the proposed powers at present, he firmly believed that it was but right that they should go in for them. It was the case at present with small and large towns. Take for instance Liverpool. There was a time when the tramways there could have been bought for JE200,000, but lately the corpora- tion of that city had to pay £ 400,000. It was also the case at other places. They were well aware that Colwyn Bay was not so educated on ihe matter as Llandudno. I The latter town was pretty unanimous on, the question at present. But even Colwyn Bay should look to its interest and see that it got control over any tramway system that came there. One of the witnesses for the pro- moters had stated before the Commissioners that their main policy wasi to make a divi- dend.—.The Chairman Most people do that, I dare say.—The Rev W. Venables Williams asked would it not be better to turn the re- solution topey-turvy. If Mr Davies would do that he would second it. That is, if the motion read as follows:—"That wo apply for powers <for tramway purposes through our district, and also for dealing with any application that may be made by any com- pany for the purpose of laying down a tram- way or light railway in their district, and that the clerk be instructed to write to the Llandudno Urban District Council and the Llandudno Urban District Council and the other authorities concerned to ascer- tain whether they would be willing to meet this council for the- purpose of considering whether joint action could not be taken by them in their district."—Mr Davies accepted the resolution as read by the Rev W. V. Williams.—The Rev W. V. Wil- liams Then, I will second it.—Mr George Bevan believed that the expense which they had entered into already in connection with the Cowlyd Board end other improvements was quite enough for this generation, without speaking of going in for an amalgamated scheme of that kind. Even, if they did the Penrhvnside and the Llandudno Council would. out-vote them and spend their money. In his opinion, it was an ill-considered and foolish scheme. Besides, to lay a tramway to Colwyn Bay was a foregone failure, and the best thing for them to do was to allow a company to come in and do a tramway for them. He moved a direct negative.—Mr Blud said that he had; followed the develop- ment of electrio traction of late, not only in this country, but also in other countries, and and found from statistics that it was: much cheaper than horse power. He advised the members to read, if they could obtain a copy, the report of the committee appointed by the Birmingham Corporation on the matter, and they could then find for themselves that that was so. If they got the powers they could then transfer them to a company upon their own terms and conditions, and prevent e-y Sunday traffic. He was not certain whether Mr Bevarn was right that the wheme would be a failure if worked by the joint councils. It was a commercial suooess at other places, and he did not see why it should not be at Oolwyn Bay and district. They should be foolish if they did not go in for the powers at'present, and if they could not succeed with the enterprise they could sell it to the high- est bidder.—Mr John Roberts (who was in the chair pro. tern.) asked would it not be better to defer the question to a committee seeing that- that was their last meeting ?— The Rev W. Venables Williams: Time is everything.—Mr Blud: We want to be masters of the situation.—MT Bevan moved, and Mr John Roberts seconded, as an amendment, that they defer the matter to a committee.—Mr W. Davies said that it was like Mr Bevan. Why should they all come there and allow outsiders to dictate to them ? He pressed his resolution, and believed that the new members were of the same opinion. —.Mr Roberts But they are not here.—Mr Davies I have spoken to one of them and believe the others to be of the same opinion. .—Upon a division, only two supported the amendment, while six voted for the resolu- tion, which was declared carried. PROPOSED PTER AND PAVILION.— The Surveyor submitted a letter received from Mr Bellis, solicitor, LIandudno, on be- half of the promoters of the proposed pier and pavilion. As Mr Bellisl was present, and desired an interview, he asked the conn- oil to, approve of the plans submitted for this scheme, and to give the promoters control over the part coloured green on the plan, subject to the public rights not being in- terfered with.—It was proposed by Mr G Bevan, seconded by Mr Hugh Hughes, and j carried unanimously: "That the Company be I asked to pay to this council a sum of JE50 per annum, "as soon as the undertaking shall pay 5 per cent, dividend to the shareholders, and JS100 per annum, as soon as it pays 10 per cent., for the right of erecting the same. —It was also proposed by Mr Thomas Parry, seconded by Mr John Blud, and carried un- animously "That the committee approve of the plains, subject to the level of the ap- proach being altered, and to the council being allowed the veto of considering the question as to how many shops shall be erected on the pier." FOOTPATHS.—The Surveyor reported "In accordance with your directions I have called on Mr Smith, Parciau, and he does not understand that any footpath went passed his house. I also pointed out the incon- venience of the present position of the path, and he is now prepared to divert the same from its present position to a, point nearer Colwyn, that is, if the council will provide a. bow wicket gate. I produce a plan showing the path in its altered position, I have care- fully inspected the path, and I find that it will cost about JS18 to repair it along its whole length, owing to its surface being very soft; and it requires a quantity of cheap macadam or gravel to put a passable surface on the same. I have also considered the re- pairing and making of the path passed Meifod. Here also, it will require a large quantity of material to secure a hard surface on the same. The day that I was there it was very sloppy, and almost impassable in places. The bridge which will be neces- sary to alter this path to the higher level, will have a span of 28 feet, and, therefore, must be constructed of very strong timber. I estimate the cost of the same, together with the repairing of the footpath, at £ 57. — It was resolved that Mr Smith's offer be accepted with respect to Parciau footpath, and that the surveyor be instructed to place a plank across Meifod footpath, as the com- mittee could not recommend at present the expenditure required to repair these paths. JSTEW PlROMENAlDE.—The surveyor re- ported that very satisfactory progress had been made with the promenade works during the past month, and. a large portion of the surface was Teady for the asplhalte. He I should' be glad for instructions in the mat- i ter of lighting the same. It was resolved that the question of lighting the new pro- menade be deferred wxtil the council had come to a decision as to ths electric lighting and refuse destructor. FOUNTAIN. — The surveyor also sub- mitted sketches of fountains suitable for erectiom on the promenade.—The surveyor was instructed to procure tenders for the erection of a fountain madö of red granite from local masons, and from masons at Den- bigh. CONTINUATION OF PROMENADE TO COLWYiN.i—The surveyor reported as follows —"Regarding the continuation of the promenade to Colwyn I beg to laly before you the following letter received from Mr Hull on the matter. '—Mr Hull's letter hav- ing been read, it was resolved that the sur- veyor be instructed ,to send a detailed plan of the wall to Mr Hull, for the company's final approval, and to prepare an estimate of the cost of tlhe extension of the same. RAILWAY FACILITIES.-The surveyor submitted a letter from Mr Jveele, of the London and iNorth-Western Railway Com- pany herein, stating that they could not see their way to grant the facilities asked for by the council at their interview with Mr Neele. —-It was proposed by Mr John Blud, se- conded by Mr William Davies, and carried unanimously, that the clerk be instructed to write to the railway company, stating that the council regret that the company cannot grant to Colwyn Bay the facilities which they have already granted to Rhyl and ILlan- dudno, and that the council further regret that the company are unable to make the alteration) asked for at Old Colwvn towards which the council have agreed to grant j350. THE SAINITARIY COMMITTEE.—The surveyor reported tha.t the agreement for the tenancy of Bryn Awel for the purposes of a hospital would expire on the 26th instant, and' asked! for instructions as to whether the council would continue the tenancy.-It was proposed by 'Mr William Davies, seconded by iMr John Roberts, and carried unanimous- ly, that the tenancy be continued for anotiher year. GAS NUISANCE. — Mr Thomas Parry called the attention of the committee to the nuisance produced from the carting through the town of refuse for the gas works.—The surveyor was instructed to write to the gas company requesting them to cart the eame before 8 o'clock in the morning. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.—On the mo- tion of Mr Thomas Parry, seconded by Mr John [Roberts, and carried unanimously, all the officials of the council was authorised1 to take legal proceedings in any cases they think necessary without having to wait for the council's instructiona in the matter. CLERK—It was resolve-d that the new clerk be instructed to enter into his guaralnftee as soon as possible. CLERK AND COLLECTOR'S OFFICES. —It was decided that the clerk be allowed to take the collector's-room for 1188 as his office, and that the collector remove to the room now used bv the clerk. COUNCIL ROOM.—It was proposed by Mr Thomas Parry, seconded! by Mr (Hugh Hughes, and carried unanimously, that the council room be fitted with gas fittings, and that the surveyor be instructed to make other arrangements for 'the convenience of the council meetings. TEOHNICAL EDUCATION. — It was proposed by 'Mr John Blud, seconded by Mr Robert Evans, and carried unanimously, that a cheque 'be drawn for the grant ( £ 60) in favour of the School Board,. NOTIFICATION OF INFECTIOUS DISEASE.—It was decided that the medical men in the town be not paid their charges for notification of infectious disease unless they submit their accounts to the council quarterly. WATER RENT.—The collector reported that the churchwardens of St. Paul's Church required! an abatement in the sum of P,6 charged them for water for the use of the organ on account of their not 'having been provided with constant supply.—Mr Bevan moved that C3 be allowed.—Mr Blud said that other (Nonconformists places of worships had sufFared the same.—Upon a division it was decided' by a majority not to make any abatement. FINANCIAL. — The collector reported that he had collected the sum of JS90 during the month. The balance in the treasurer's hand is £ 291 Os 5d. — Mr John Roberts, chairman of the finance committee, in mov- ing the adoption of the report, said that they had started the nnafnicial year with an over- draft of £441, and made a rate df 4s 6d in the pound'. The money derived: from the rates, etc., for the year efnding the 31st of March, 1897, amounted to J59672 6s, as com- parecl, with. a total expenditure of d310,165 7s 4d, their overdraft at present being £ 491. Mr Roberts w-ent on to explain that out of the current rates they had paid for certain improvements, which, if they had been covered by a loan, would have left them a balance of E1200 to their credit. They had a balance of JE5648 in hand on a loan account of £ 10,000. In its finances Colwyn Bav dom pared1 very favourably- with other towins in the district, especially Bangor with a rate of 9s 7^d; Barmouth with lis, while Rhyl had a much higher rate than theirs. It must be satisfactory to all of them to find that Colwyn was carrying out so many improve- me-ntwith such a low rate.—(Mr Blud moved a vote of thanks to Mr IRoberts for his ser- vices during the year. Ha had only lost one committee meeting during the whole of that period.-This having been seconded, it was unanimously passed. NEW -SCHEME. —fMbrf Wiseman, one of the promoters of the light railway, made a statement as to the new sc/heane, and the council thanked him for his remarks. VOTE OF THANKS.—A hearty vote of thanks was passed to the Rev Thomas Parry for presiding so efficiently over their de- liberations during the past year.

THE WELSH SETTLEMENT IN THE ARGENTINE. Commander Woods, of H.M.S. "Acom," recently, at the request of the Foreign Office, visited tlhe Welsh settlement at Chubut, in the Argentime Republic, and reports it to be in a prosperous condition. The language and religion of the colonists tend to keep them together. WeMi, however, has ceased to be the official and commercial language, but it is that used in the household and by the chil- dren generally, and they know very little of any other until they are six years of age, when they go to school and learn Spanish through its medium. It is also the language used at the meetings of the municipal council, During Commander Woods's tour through the valley he noticed that all salutations and con- versations were made and held in the Welsh language. The colonists are essentially Pro- testant in the religious views, roldi up to the present the -Roman Catholic priest has made no progress with' them, ignorance of the Welsh language on the one (hand and of the Spanish language on the other haying proved an insurmountable barrier between them. Some time ago, in the teeth of great op- position, a railway (was made and Com- mander Woods reports that Mr Lloyd Jones, a Nonconformist minister, who has been in the colony twenty-five years, stated that in his opinion the railway had been constructed prematurely; the, colonists did not want it, and it was -better for them to ship their wheat by the river, time being no object. The colony possesses one newspaper, "Y Drafod" (the "IDisousser"), which sells at 25 cents a copy..It ia published by a society of colon- ists, who guarantee a circulation of 250 copies weekly!

About eight months ago she was attacked with a severe skin disease. I took her to the hospital here, and she attended for oix weeks. I then took her to the Manchester Hospital for four months, but neither of them did her a bit of good. I was obliged to take her from her work. At last, I was persuaded to cry Clarke's Blood Mixture, and now I thank God I have done so, for, I am happy to say, the disease has disappeared, and, I can safely say it, the medicine has worked a miracle in my daughter's life.

CHURCii SCHOOLS AT CONWAY. SPEECH BY THE BISHOP OF BAXGOIL On Tuesday evening, the Mayor of Conwav presided over a public meeting to inaugurate a fund for the erection of a new sohool for girls as a memorial of the Queen's reign. The Vicar read a statement demonstrating the ur- gent need far new schools to meet the re- quirements of tihe Education Department, and pointed out that the burdens of educa- tion would be much heavier on the ratepay- ers if the residents in Conway failed in their (iiitr in this maftter.—lAjnongsb nhe leftters read was one from Archdeacon Howell, stat- ing that amongst, the greatest sacrifices of his life were those made to maintain the Volun- tary Schools system. As a matter of eouno- my the subject demanded the candid consideration of all ratepayers, but there was a far higher new to take of the matter—the uncertainty as to the religious instruction given—and euoh uncertainty on a point of vital importance ought never to be risked. The whole atmosphere of a day school should be pervaded by a religious spirit. If the parishioners of Oonway were well advised,' they would not hesitate to make great sacri- fices in a matter of such paramount import- ance (applause).-The Hon. H. Lloyd Mos- tyn moved that the warmest thanks be given to Mr Albert Wood for providing a site in one of the best positions for the schools, and characterised it as a munificent gift.—Mr H. Lewis seconded, and it was carried.—Mr Lees moved :—"That this meeting, recognising the urgent need for more school accommodation, pledges itself to support the fund, and con- siders it a suitable way of celebrating the Queen's reign.—Mr J. Porter seconded.— The Bishop of Bangor supported the resolu- tion. He congratulated Con way on being famous, or at aJl events notorious, with re- gard to education. They had One of the raire things in this country—a school board with no schools; with officers, but nothing else (laughter)—and ho confessed, though possibly he might be sat upon for the confession, that he did his best to prevent them from having even the shadow of a school board (applause). They were also famous for having schools in connection with the Church, which had done excellant work. It was no wonder they felt; proud of their schools, and that they desired to add to their usefulness. They did not want to mince matters. They were against a board, because under a board there would be no guarantee for the permanency of relig- ious education (applause). Ho was not ashamed to confess it. There were other reasons, but that was the main reason why they wanted to maintain Voluntary Schools. Churchmen had done their best in this mat- ter, and their efforts had had an immense influence on the minds and feelings even of school boards themselves. But for this in- fluence the standard of religious instruction, in Boaird Schools wo'jJd be very much lower indeed, school board advocates said, "Why don't you step aside, and let ua provide schools?" Churchmen reply, "We were the first in the field, and we are not goino- to be driven out, and let others reap the benefit of our labours" (applause). Up to 1845 any- body conversant with the history of the religious movement in Welsh education would at once see that the Nonconformists of this country put their shoulders against State aid in elementary education. They thwarted ele- mentary education because they did not want State aid;, otherwise education would have been pushed forward much more rapidly than it had been. He made that statement at a public meeting the other day, but the press never reported it. Some of those facts, were not pleasant, but they were facts, and he vouched for the truth of them (applause). He emphatically asserted that the fact that the Nonconformists threw this opposition in the way of the progress of elementary educa- tion had been very damaging in the long run to education in Wales (applause). One or two words with regard to the new.bill. He was afraid some of the clergy, and many of the school managers, had come to the con- clusion that the new bill was going to set them up for ever, that it was quite a godsend, and that there would be no more trouble— plenty of money, and everything at hand. He did not think anything of the kind. They would have to make sacrifices in the future as did not think anything of the kind. They would have to make sacrifices in the future as they had done in the past, and those sacrifices were the price they would have to pay for the freedom: the Government allowed them for choosing their own teachers, and conducting their schools without any interference from the ratepayers (applause).. What the Govern- ment gave with one hand it would take away with the other. He meant they would have to spend the money on greater efficiency in education and improved buildings, and he did not grudge it at all. He hoped the Govern- ment would insist upon such things being done (applause). The only satisfactory solu- tion that he could) oee ofl the educational difficulty was to throw the burden of educa- tion upon the State. He was glad that the schools at Conway were to be a memorial of the Queen's reign, because the latter half of the nineteenth century was celebrated for educational progress (applause).—Numerous subscriptions were promised in the room.
