The motion was seconded by Alderman W. Eirl Jones, wno remained joomarly that he nuped happy relations would exist ibetween all members during tne coming year, and that there would be no need ior the Mayor to call in a policeman daughter). Whilst supporting the motion, Counctillor Cornelius Roberts said he did not agree with everything said by the mover and seconder. iie 'did not believe in the practice of so^t- soapjJng. Mr. Anthony did his work ^well. Dr. R. J. Evans gave testimony of Mr. An- unv'- courteous manner. He deserved every honour the Council could bestow upon him. Dr. Wynne Griffith, who said that Mr. An- thonv had discharged his duties in the best possible manner, then invested Mr. Anthony with the insigna of office. Alderman Anthony, in reply, said they had had to struggle a good deal to get him to accept office this time. He was not a greedy, weak, and avaricious person, and it should be publicly known that the office was thrust upon him. He had ibeen a member of the Council for 25 years, and, whether in or out of office he topk an active interest in municipal work (hear, hear). He was Igoing to do his best to increase tke prosperity of Pwllheli. Rovewing the year s work, vMr. Anthony said that the most im- portant committee was the Public Works and Harbour Committee. The harbour contract with Mr. Lester, which had cost nearly £60,000, had been practically completed. Turning to another part of the harbour works, which was not completed. Mr. Anthony said they had recently been successful in obtain- ing a 'Government grant of £7,500. Indeed, during the last ten years the Council had ob- tained grants to the extent of i:50,000 from the Government- whereas other authorities had made strenuous efforts, but without success. As to the Tevenlue from the harbour, he re- membered a time when the annal income was only £ 14, but to-day it was JJ500. Mr. An- thonv also dwelt on other schemes which were well afoot, and said that to him the only eye- sore was the Penycei property. He really felt that the Council were jjot doi-nt, their duty with this property. Any Corporation would be ashamed to claim it in its present state, as their T-roperty (hear, hear, and Quite true "). He was of opinion that this property could be de- veloped. r The retiring aldermen. Dr. Wynne Griffith and "Mr. K. O..Tones, were re-elected. Votes of thanks were accorded to thg, Town Clerk, and other Corporation onicials.—The Town Clerk replied.
A CONWAY
A CONWAY UNANIMOUS SELECTION OF DR M. J. TORGA-N. There was a fnil meefting of the Conway Town Council on Monday, for the election of Mayor. A private meeting of councillors had been helld ptfiiar to the annual meeting, and an agreement was come to with regard to the new mayor, and also, the respective committees. Alderman Dr R. A. Pridhard (the retiring mayor) occupied the chair -I, the opening prooeedioiigs. j Dr Caj't-ex proposed the election of Dt M. J. Margan as mayor. He felt confident that Dr •Morgan would make one of the beat mayors that thev could select. Mr Jaines Porter, in second ing, said that the Council was to be congratulated upon the fact ( that- they ware unanimous u|pon their selection of mayor. Dr Morgan was a fair-minded man. that- they were unanimous upon their selection of mayor. Dr Morgan was a fair-minded man. He had known him dating the w'aola of his municipal life, and that was longer than he cared to sa-y (laughter). Dr Morgan had. ren- dered good se.rvi.ae to the towm. He had acted on all the committees of tihe Council. He had taken an interest in too education of the borough; and represented it on the County Council. In conclusion, Mr Porter said he felt confident that tlhey would have in Dr Morgan, ] as they had in Dr Prichard, a mayor that would uphold the honourable traditions of the borough (hear, hear). 1M.r John Williams expressed the hope that in fulbore the Council would eledta-mayof. every alteTnate vear from the respective •pairtie.s. The motion was uinanimously agreed to. ) Aldeirman Prichard then invested the mayo?- «iecit wit/h the rdbes. and chain of office. Dr Morgan, who V;8iS finslt eleotÐd a council- lor nearly nineteen years ago, and occupied the cmavorall chair in 1898 and 1899. addressed a few words oi thanks to his coi'l-easues for the uuBoin^ht honouT. Not iong ago he said a Government inspector stated that the Conjway ipeoplle ought to be happy for ta-N, had every thing tihey wanted. There was some justifica- tionf lor the afserition, for the old trough was set in a healthy loaallity, in the midst of beau- tii'ul scenery they had the magnificent old casltle, which he was sure they would, do their beat to preserve ;n good repair; they had per- feat sanitation, and an abundant supply of pure water, they had libraries and halls for cultivating the mind of tihe people, -and they had the Al'orfa for the physical recreation of the people (applianse). The Council woulld help roijwajrd all furtiher improvements to make Conway a peilfect health resort. The Mayor proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the retir- ing mayor for his very faithful sorvicea in the 'chair. and for the able manner in which he had. ifu'iiililed the mayoral duties. Mr A. J. Oldiman, in seconding, observed that Dr Prichard had always the betterment of Conway at heart-, and at all 14ir.es gave his decisions fairly and squarely. The not,ion was passed. Dr Prichard was healtiy cheered upon rising to respond. IF-e gave an interesting review of ithe work of the Council during the year. Com- imencing with the bridge, he said they had cf.n- 1 tiiijuied tihe policy InaugaTated some t ime ago of I incM'ea>s'ing the amount of the rosea-ve fund, and tlhey had been able to place in reserve during the year the record amount of £ 1790. The amount of the fund now was £6490, and by oonltinuuug their policy tlhey could look for- ward to an sarlv date when their obligations undar the Rridge Aot should have been accom- plished. and their reserve amount to £ 10,000. In regard to the harbour they are all gratified that the great dispvJte between the Grown and the Corporation has now been settled. Hhiis question had received the serious atten- tion of the Gouncil for a long time. but hap- pilly they have now a.rrived at a settlement upon iterms. which would be of enormous ad- vantage to the borough (applause). One of the j most important, part of our corporate estate was the Mortfa, and the protection of the eatafte lias received cirefdl attention. Their scheme had been approved by the Local Go- vernment BDard laifteir a searching inquiry, and a sanction obtained to borrow JE2500 for the puirpase. The work has been continued throughout the year, and great progress has been made, .giving regular employment to an average of 15 nun during the year (hear, b.ea.rt,.

|DENBIGHSHIRE EDUCATION
DENBIGHSHIRE EDUCATION DECREASED ATTENDANCE; INCREASED RATE. Mr. W. G. Dodd presided over the quarterly meeting of the Denbighshire Education Com- mittee, at Chester, on Wednesday. The reports of the Attendance Committee, submitted by Mr. J. S. Jones, showed that since June, 1906, when the attendance reached a high-water mark of 88 psr cent., it Jad loeen steadily declining, and trom January to June this year it was only 86.7 per cent. Various reasons were assigned for the decrease, including the partial exclusion of children under five, and the largely increased number of those who leave the elementary schools for the secondary schools. Mr. D. Davies said that the Education Committee were obliged to ask for an increase of a penny in the rae for the current half-year. At the appointed day the total sum paid in the county in teachers' salaries was J340,025, whereas now the total amount for salaries was JB46,581, an increase of JE5,558, or 13 per cent. The average attendance on the appointed day was 17,773, the number on thq register being 23,179; but in June last year the aver- age attendance was 19,288, and the number • n the register had dropped to 22,246. There was, therefore, an increase in the average attendance of 1,515, and a decrease in the num- ber on the register of 933. The cost per child had increased from 45s to 47s. The important fact for the committee was that whereas OIl the "appointed day" the number of recognised teachers was 4'J0, Saving a taaeher for every 37 children, at the present time there were 73S I adult teachers, showing an increase of 233 which was enormous .seeing that the average at tendance had only risen hy 1.515. There wa: now a teacher for every 28 pupils in thE schools. In the administrative counties oi England and Wales the number of scholars in average attendance to each certificated tfiachei was 73-7: in Wales the number was 80.9; in Denbighshire it was 66.9. So that among the administrative counties of Wales Denbighshire Id the premier position in that respect, lr England the average number of teachers pei 1.000 children was 13.6, in Wales 12.4, in Den bighshire 15.0. The Committee agreed to ask the Count} Council for a rate of 6d in the L. instead of 5c for the current half-year.
IDISCUSSION AT THE COUNTY…
DISCUSSION AT THE COUNTY COUNCIL I At a meeting of the County Council held a Wrexham, on Friday, Mr. G. Cromar, Rossett moved that a rate of Is Ojd in the ;C be levie< (6d fQr general county purposes, 6d for elemen tary education, and id for higher education) This was an increase of Id in the £ for educa tion, and it was made necessary by the ver large falling off in attendance, owing to epi demics an bad weather. The Government, toe discouraged the sending of children to schoc under five years of age. This affected the coun y 11 ty to the extent of over £ 1,200. There wer increases in the salaries of teachers and cleaner and the total expenditure was increased abou £ 1,600 or £1,900. Air. D. coll, C'olwyn Bay, moved as a amendment, that the rate for elementary educs tion remain at 5d. They were told in Ma that 5d would be ample. On the apppinte day there were 17,773 children on the registers last June there were 19,288. On the appointe day there were 490 teachers, now there wer 7123. iSpeakinsr of the rural districts, he di, not know what the additional teachers wer up to. zx In supporting the amendment, Mr. G. Bevan Colwyn Bay. said that the extravagant wa.y i] which the Education Committee carried on their duties compelled them, on behalf of th ratepayers, to utter a protest. The amendment was lost. seven voting for it and the rate was proposed and then adopted

:¡BURDEN OF THE RATES r
¡ BURDEN OF THE RATES r E j VIGOROUS PROTEST BY CCXLWYN BAY. • » Mr. P. H. McOement, Penmaenmawr, pre- l sided at Friday's meeting of the Conway Guar- dians. A letter was read from the Local Government Board stating that their sanction to hold the meetings of the Board at the clerk's office was not necessary. j It appears that there a!k but few collectors i who are legally acting as assistant overseers in j the union. Cnder such circumstances the Local Government Board wrote to say that the Board of Guardians could make the valuations. On the motion of Mr. J' W. Raynes, seconded by Mr. Edward Jones, Dejjanwy, it was decided to request the Parish Councils to appoint as- sistant overseers, and acquaint the clerk of such appointments, A letter was read from Mr. J. Berth Jones, 011 behalf of the overseers of Llandrillo-yn- Rhos, pointing out that the amount of the i Guardians' demand upon the precept of Octo- ber 2nd showed an increase of £ 1,189 on the corresponding half-year of last year, and 1;1,761 more this financial year than last year. We desire," the letter proceeded, to enter our most emphatic protest against the constant increase m the demands on this parish, which are becoming unbearable." Mr H. Hughes moved that the Board send a resolution of protest to the County Councn. There was actually £ 1,200 more to be paid this half-year than in the corresponding half 01 last year. The public blamed tne Guardians, as the rating authority. Mr. Post, the deputy clerk, pointed out that for poor law purposes Lhe rate was now a painv less than it was in 1§U3> whereas the demand of the County Council in respect of Colwyn fay had risen from £ 726 in 1903 to £ 6,428 m tne current year. Mr. J. T. Taylor, Caaon David Jones, and others urged that it should be made clear that two-thirds of the money was not spent oy the Guardians, but by the County Council Mr. Edward Willia-ms: It was reported at the County Council meeting- that they, had spent £ 7,000 extra on the Toads to make them i into racecourses for motor cars, and that. they only got JB114 in return from the motcr car licenses. Mr. Hugh Owen said it would not be ww to send a complaint to the County Coune 1. The schools throughout the county had been im- proved, and he did not think the County Coun- oil should be satisfied to build new schools in the old way without sanitation, without ventila- tion, and light. The County Council were very careful indeed, and they ought to be encour- aged, and not condemned. The County Coun- cils could not help the increased expenditure on the roads, which the motor cars tore up worse than any other traffic. He felt that if they passed a resolution of protest they would show themselves to be very ignorant and im- polite. Mr. J. W. Raynes said that the ratepayers of Carnarvonshire ought to make a protest. If the County Council spent more on the teaching of the scholars than upon highly paid officials, the parishes, he thought would be better off. Mr Hughes consented to withdraw his motion on the understanding that » copy of the letter of explanation, which Mr. Post wae directed to send to the Colwyn (Bay overseers, should also he sent to the Denbighshire County Council. ————TT^T-rr^
! CONWAY COUNCIL AND THEIR…
CONWAY COUNCIL AND THEIR 1 WORKMEN. I ( Mr Robert Ellis, J.P., of Brynpin, presided at the meeting of the Conway and Glan Con- way Rural Cûuncils, on Friday. The financial statement showed a credit bal- ance of JBE05 Is 7d with the treasurer in fav- our of the Conway Council, and of B224 195 6d in favour of Glan iCbnway. The Finance Committee recommended "that the Council be asked to defer the question oi workmen's hours and duties for a mon h, and that, in the meantime, the Clerk obtain psrbioula.ra from other Rural Councils as to the working hours and the duties of their work- men. generally." As an amendment, Mr J- W. Raynes, p-ro- posed the following, as previously recommend- 1 ed by the Finance Committee :—The working hours from Monday to Friday to be, 7 to 12 -and 1 till 5.30; Saturday. 7 till 1. When a > workman is called upon to work overtime, the 1 pay for the first quarter (2 hours) will be r according to the rate for another quarter of the day, tho second quarter will be pay and a half. That all men be allowed 2 days' leave r of absence annually, viz., Christmas Day and 1 Whit-Monday Mr Ben Fisher seconded. Mr J. Aneoirin Jones observed that they t should have some regard for the investigation made by the Finance Committee before. Per- 1 sonally, he could not see why they should be L~ governed by outside bodies. They were there to do what was fair to both the workmen and v the ratepayers. The Finance Committee only [_ suggested what private employers granted their I, employees; and he believed that it would be >i to the benefit of the Council if they were to 1- do likewise. e Mr Hugh Owen said that, Mr Jones, or any ,t one else, must not think that they wanted to be unjust towards the workmen. All they re- n quired was information. He proposed the l- rocomendation of the committee to defer the y matter for a month. Mr E. J. Jones seconded. d Six voted for the recommendation of the e Committee and three against. d The Committee appointed to enquire into e' e the matter of the Llysfaen water supply recom- mended that the pipes supplying water -from the reservoirs be extended from Peulwys road t through the proposed new road and join the e existing pipe in Meiriadog road, and from Plas Gwlyim to Pendyffryn, and from Bodel- wydden Avenue through the proposed Watkin Avenue, at an estimated cost of about £220.. The recommendation was adopted, the work to be begun forthwith. n

THIRTY YEARS A PASTOR
THIRTY YEARS A PASTOR THE REV JOHN RAYMOND'S W0P.K AT LLANDUDNO. Five years ago the Rev John Raymond, per, ftor off the English Baptist Chapel, Llandudno, was presented wtitih a purse, containing JB120, and an illuminated address, upon the comple- tion oif his 25 years' pastorate of the church, the general public, regardless of sectarian or (politdical feeling, joining with the chuirch in imakinig the- evtsnt a successs. Five years have elapsed since that time, and the Rev John Raymond conltdnues to be the pastor of the church, and from atll appearances he is likely to remaiin at his po&t mucih longer. The mem- Ibers of the church. could not allow the com- pletion of Mir Raymond's thirtieth year as pastor to pass without giving further tokens that he still retains their confidence. A sub- scription list was opened, and the response was so generous that it was found possible to purchase a silver inktsltand for the pastor, a gold topped umbrella for Mrs Raymond, and still have sufficient to augment- the gift, to Mr Raymond by a purse of gold. The presentations were made at a social (gathering on Thursday, aimonig tlrose present 'being' Mr A. Fioullkes, elf Abergele, for many years agent for the Mostiyn Estate. Mr Henry Detail, the senior deaqon. presided. Light re- ftreahmenta and music were provided. The pTOfgramme. was contributed by the following Mlissee Owen and Spahn, Mr W. Roberts, Mrs Wataon, Mass Underwood, the Orpheus, Glee Party (under the condiuotorslhip of Mr Osborne Roberts), Misses Raymond and Harrison, etc. Mr A. D. T. Marks, and Mr Osborne Roberts were the accompanists. (Mrs Reeves Biughes, the oldest member jf the chuirch, gave some very interesting remini- scences of the early days of the cause. Ml's Hughes recalled the first English service in connectiotn: with the Baptist denomination willen. the Rev O. H. Spurgeon preached in the tenit in which the first National Eisteddfod was held, in Llajndudno, that spot being now oc- cupied by Roby House. After that Mr John Eiuighas—whom she was very glad to 800 pre- sent, was very anxious to start a Sunday iSidhool, and asked herself and. several littla igirLs to attend. Only two, however, turned up, i.e., hensellf and Mias Annie Voyd (now More Williams). The place looked very de- serted that afternoon, eo they adjourned to Mr Hugihes' hou&e. "I'm a;fraid I don't re-. member what the lesson was, paid Mra Hmghes, "but I do rem-ember we had tea, and that, it was a goiod teal" (laughter). Thatt was in 1868, and cominig down to 1874, Mrs Hlughes said that in that year a few friends g-pt together to try and keep the servioes go- ing all the year round. They could not afford a minister, but very frequently borrowed one ('laughter). Mrs Hughes concluded by refer- ring to the greajt service rendered to the church by the Misses Roberts, Arwendon. They only wanted one thini^, she said, as her luudbsnd did—a dip-(laugihte.r and applause). (Mrs T. T. Marks (who made her first public appearance after a prolonged ilineas) was re- oeived with appilause on rising to make the presentation to Mr Raymond. Mil's Marks said that the rev. gentleman had served them faith- fully for thirty years, and she trusted that he and his partner would for as many years to coime be blessed in order that they might be a blessing to otheris.

Asthma, Bronchitis
Asthma, Bronchitis Catarrh and Blood-Sipitting. EXTRAORDINARY CURE. Mrs. Joel Chapman, Maulden Road, Flitwick, nr. Ampthill, Beds., writes:—"For over 20 years I suffered dreadfully from bronchitis and asthma, which was attended with nasal catarrh and blood-spitting, and I couid hardly breathe on account of the accumulation of phlegm in the air passages. I thought I should never be any better, but one day I tried Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, and was relieved after one dose, and found great comfort. I could breathe freely and naturally through the nose, the blood-spitting was at once stopped, and I got so much relief that I don't know how to thank you enough for what Veno's Lightning Cough Cure has done for me." Veno's Lightning Cough Cure can be bought for 9^d, Is 1-21 d, and 2s 9d everywhere.
