..... PWLLHELI GUARDIANS
PWLLHELI GUARDIANS COMPLAINTS AND AN EXPLANA- TION. A meeting off the Pwllheli Board of Guardians was held, on Wednesday, Mr J. T. Jones. (chairman) presidirMg. The Clerk (Mr Hugh Pritchard) reported on the investigations he made, at the re- quest of the chairman, into complaints con- cerning the methods of distributing out- j relieif in the division of Mr W. O. Jones. He inquired in all into twenty cases at Lian- iestyn, Tydweilicg, and Edeyrn, taking the cases at random. All the cards examined, -with, the exception of two, were regularly entered up, and no complaints were made as to irregularity of payment. The other two were in Lianiestyn. In one of them a. pauper in receipt oi 5s weekly relief said she haid not received the previous day's re- lief as she did not letch it. She had no complaints to make, as she had always been paid regularly, and when unable to go for the money on pay day she could always have it upon going for it to a shop a.t Dinas, where the money would be awaiting her. In the other case, also in Lianiestyn, the daughter dE the recipient of 5s per week produced the card, which was. not entered, up for the last two weeks. The reason given by the daughter was that they did not sendflor the money. The pauper, her father, was old and bed-ridden, and she said she had only once sent for the money to Lianiestyn. The officer used, to leave the money either at the house in pass- ing or at a shop at Dinas. Since August last he had ceased the practice, but on Sep- tember 24th. when seven weeks were due, he sent her (the daughter) JB1 to the shop. (After another four weeks had elapsed she wrote about the balance of 15s, and he replied that it was her duty to call at Pant- j yceJyn (the pay station in the village) for the money. IShe went there, and was paid the balance of 1.5£ and the JE1 then due. That was the only occasion upon which the money had been sent for to the pay station. It would seem, added the clerk, that Jones had made the shop at Dinas a kind of un- offiiciail pay station, and theretby leading same of the paupers to believe that they had a right- to be. paid there and not at the village pay station some distance off. He {the clerk) might say that the persons visited had no knowledge of the object of his visit. The officer adinitted that his methods were a bit irregular, and promised that this irregularity would not occur again..Some of the paupers did not come to him for their money at the pay station, but as- sumed that they would be paid at the shop at Dinas. I The Chairman said the matter was a very important one. The officer had no right to pay at the shop at all, and the Local Government Board were against it. The Vice-Chairman (Mr- Daniel Jones) was. afraid that the officer had been a little neglectful in his duties. Ill" some of the paupers had not called for their money was it not his duty to inquire and know the reason why. They might be suffering for want of it. 'That was a very unfair way of dealing with the poor. .)1jr Wm. Jones, Lianiestyn, said that some paupers had to walk long distances to the pay station. The Chairman said he had been a mem- ber of the Board for many years, and he had never heard of a similar complaint be- fore. Mr W. E. Williams said that it was a convenience to the paupers to have their; money naid at the shop at Dinas. Mr Parry, of Penllwyn. proposed that the Board drop the matter, and further ob- servations having been made, the Board having reyard to the explanation given by the officer with regard to Jhe complaints referred to, decided to take no further steps.
FISHING IN SOUTH CARNARVON-|…
FISHING IN SOUTH CARNARVON- SHIRE. The quarterly meeting of South Carnar- vonshire Fisherv Board was held on Tuesday, at Criccieth, Sir Hugh J. Ellis Nanney pre- siding. j. ) The balance sheet showed receipts total- ling in trout licenses, and £18 in sal- mon licenses. After paying £5 for re- stocking the rivers, the Beard would have a balance of R55 in hand. The re-stocking was stated to have brought a great improve- ment in trout fishing. A good season was also enjoyed in salmon fishiing. The Carnarvonshire County Council wrote suggesting that the scale of license duties in force in South Carnarvonshire should be reduced to the level of those in the Dovey, Conwav, and Seioit districts, and that separ- ate licenses should be issued for each river: at half the charge fqr the license for the whole district. The latter proposal was deemed impracticable, and with regard to the reduction of the ordinary license duty. thø Board aereed to reply + bat, compared with other districts where fees were paid, the duties in South Carnarvonshire were verv reasonable. It was resolved. however, to take steps to reduce the salmon day lioense duty 2s to ls. -r-

THE WELSH QUARRY FRAUDS. The Welsh Quarries case has at last been concluded. Henry W arwick Gyde, finan- cier, and Marcus Edward Septimus Bernard, otherwise Septimus Marcus, accountant, were indicted on charges of conspiracy to defraud such persons as should be induced to become debenture holders in the Welsh jate Quarries, Limited, and the North Wales fclatc Quarries, Limited, and of ob- taining money by false pretences. It was alleged that the prisoners conspired with another man, wno has absconded, to obtain money from the public, whereas the quarries were practically worthless, and that they had defrauded the public by putting upon them debentures in the companies that were valueless. > The jury, after threequarters of an hour s deliberation, found the prisoners guilty. Mr. Muir, for the prosecution, said that in the last four years Gyde and Darby had got out of the public upwards of £55,000 by means of companies they had promoted, and which had been wound up. Gyde was sentenced, to five years' penal servitude, and Marcus to 12 months' hard labour. Gyde was led from the dock in a collapsed condition.

FESTINIOG GUARDIANS
FESTINIOG GUARDIANS ABLE-BODIED MEN IN THE WORK- HOUSE. Tuesday, Mr. William Jones (vice-chair- man) presidiilng. Mr. Robert Richards protested against men, who could work, being brought to the workhouse. He maintained that so long as they got even their board and lodging as salary, ablie-bodied men should not enter the workhouse. There was plenty of work for able-bodied men on the farms if they only submitted to do it.—Mr Rd. Williams said it was unreasonable for a man to work on I a farm for board and lodging alone. A Portmadoc sailor recently admitted to 1 the house, was at this stage brought before the 'Board. Asked by the Vice-Chairman whether he was a sober man, he replied that he had a little drink occasionally. He had a wife, who lived at Llanberis. He was driven out of the house because his daughter was about to get married, and he was averse to the marriage. He did not know what his wife was doing for her liviing, and that never weighed upon his mind. He had nothing to do with her now. He said he was willing to go to work if he only got a berth on a ship-—The Vice-Chairman said he must pre- pare himself for work forthwith.—The Guardians agreed.—Mr. Robert Richards said this class went to the relieving officers without making a serious effort to find work. They ought not to be admitted into the workhouse, and he protested against it.— Mr. Morgan Roberts: To whom will this class go except to the relieving officers? He added that not toi take notifce of them would be tantamount to inviting them to accept the advice extended to them by Socialists to steall food. The Local Government Board wrote sanc- tioning the appointment of Dr. Carey Evans as medical officer for the Trawsfvnvdd dis- trict.

We are always pleased to hear from those who have been bene. fited by the use of our World- famous LUNG TONIC, which has achieved such an extraor- dinary success during the 34 years it has been before the public, but we wish it to be clearly understood that we never pay for Testimonials in any way, form, or circumstances We do not solicit them, nor do we publish them without Per- mission. W. T. OWBRIDGE, LTD., The Laboratory, Hull. First Avenue, Walton-on-the-Naze. I think it my duty to thank you for what your LUNG TONIC has done for me. I suffered with Asthma for four years very badly. Now I can say, thank God, I am quite free from the complaint, and if anybody is suffering I will be pleased to say anything in favour of your f"ll' imedy." G. ELLIS. Cowley Road, Uxbridge, A friend of ours persuaded my wife to buy me a bottle of your LUNG TONIC. I am no believer in patent medicines in fact I am a homoeo- pathist. But my usual remedies failed to touch this severe cold which I had contracted, and I was glad to taxe your TONIC in the hope of relief. The first dose, taken at bed-time, relieved me, and I shall certainly keep a bottle by me for future use, for my cold was better in a few days." EDWARD COLE.

I procured a bottle of your LUNG TONIC, and before he had taken half the contents the cough had entirely disappeared; also his appetite has returned, and he is now quite a different child. In my opinion it is a most valuable medi- cine." A. AYTO. Atsley House, Shillington, Hitchin. I can safely recommend OW- BRIDGE'S LUNG TONIC for coughs and colds.

It is to be hoped that the Lord Chancellor will nof. ibng delay his consent to hold sit- tings of the County Court at Colwyn Bay, I now that the new Court-house has been completed and placed at the disposal of Judge Moss. The Judge is favourable to the project. Sir J. Herbert Roberts, M.P., has done all he can to bring the matter to a successful issue, while the local authority. as well as the tradesmen, have been most indefatigable in their support of the move- ment. The establishment- of a County Court at Colwyn Bay, alternately with Llandudno and Conway, will go a long way I to mitigate the great inconvenience experi- enced by the tradesmen of Llysfaen and Colwyn Bay district.

Conway GYFIFIX SCHOOL.—At a meeting of the Carnarvonshire Education Committee to-day (Thursday) a letter was read from the Board of Education inquiring whether the author- ity are now in a position to submit pro- posal for providing additional school aocom- modatilon in the district of this school. A letter was also read from the correspondent of the school, in which he intimated that he would be happy in consideration of a liberal commission to offer to negotiate with the Ecclesiastical authorities the purchase of a corner qf the glebe whereon to buildl the Council school, provided the committee un- dertake to make the like generous terms paid for the site of the new Council school at Pen- machno. He trusted that the committee would not allow the opportunity to slip, as the promiised Disestablishment Bilil in the next session of Parliament may deprive them of a genuine bargain. A petition was read from 45 parents and ratepayers residing in the Llangelyni'n and Gyffin districts, urging the committee to make suitable provision for greater educational advantages for the children of these districts.:—It was was re- solved that the petitioners be asked to sub- mit proposals with regard to suitable alter- native sites upon which the new Council school might bo erected.
Llanrwst
Llanrwst A TALL OtR'DER.—At a meeting of the Urban Council, on Friday evening, a com- munication was read from the Denbighshire Conntv Council suggesting that the water main should be extended to 12 farms which kept cowsheds.

TRTvFRIW GOLF LINKS.—A provisional committee has been fc;rmed to take over the TreMw Golf- l inks, ^pi» h arc admirably situated in the Crafnnni Vallev.

Wright is 1 the lion, secretary. SALE OF PjUAS.—For some time the Urban Council have experienced some dif- ficulty in securing a suitable site ior the weekiy pig sales. The Board of Agriculture will not allow the existing site in Statiop.- road to be used much longer unless the street is properly paved, etc. It was de- cided at a meeting of the locap authority on Friday to give a month's trial in Parry- street, and if it is found adaptable for the purpose, it will be properly paved for the carts. PROPOSED WORKMEN'S DWEL- LINGS:—Mr. William Hughes, J.P., pre- sided over the proceedings of the monthly meeting of the Council, held on Friday, when the Clerk reported that the owner of the land selected as a site for workmen's dwellings refused to sell the two acres and eight perches under £ 600. The committee recommended its purchase at that price. Mr. Watling said he was in favour of the scheme, but was not prepared to; pay a fancy price for it.—Mr. D. J. Williams argued that the question was an urgent one, and there was not a house in the town fit for a respectable workman to reside in. The proposition was referred to a committee of the whole Coun- cil. ITINERANT TRADERS.—At a meeting of the Urban Council, on Friday evening, Mr. Arthur Parry (chemist) introduced the question of itinerant traders on the Market- square, who, it has been contended, under- sell local tradesmen. With a view of miti- gating the effect, Mr. Parry proposed the following motion of which he had given notice :—" That the charges made for stands outside the Town Hall be revised." He contended that it was essential to move in the matter without delay. The tradesmen, who were large ratepayers, suffered serio,usly from the competition.—Mr. Albert Hughes' (a prominent Conservative) expressed his satisfaction that the tradesmen of the town had at last grasped the importance and vital necessity of protection! (laughter). The trade of the town had suffered through this un- fair competition, and the unemployed pro- blem in the district had been aggravated.— Mr. D. J. Williams saiki that there were two sides to the question. If the strangers were stopped from selling on the square it would be hardship to the general public, who were enabled thus to purchase goods at a cheaper rate than at the shops. The gen- eral public should be considered as well as the tradesmen.-On the suggestion of Mr. W. J. Williams the matter was adjourned until the next meeting, when the new bye laws will be submitted.

He instanced the failure of the Socialism of Fournier ill France and of Rojbert Owen in Wales, thesfl reformers having failed to take this fact into consideration, and whose schemes had to be abandoned. He pleaded for a new spirit; in society, and for new social ideas based upon the teaching of the New Testament. The only practical measure which he could suggest was a system of land taxation simi- lar to the system which was such a great success in New Zealand and New SoutlI Wales. He held out no hope of the prevent non of enforced idleness oin the part of peo- ple who depended for their living upon theiB daily labour, unless and until justice could be substituted for selfishness as the motive power of society.—There was a very warrrt discussion following Mr. Griffiths' speech, during which some speakers asserted that the people in this country were not Chris- tians, but Pagans whilst another contend- ed that Socialism was the one hope of modern society.
