THE HOUSE. The number of inmates was stated to be 166 an increase of 7 on <he corresponding day of lasi year. During \he fortnight 96 vagrants had been relieved as sgainat 132. Whilst the Board was considering whether a woman should be allowed to take her discharge, the Master reported that great discontent existed amongst the women inmates because some women had been allowed to leave the house without taking out their children. There were 56 children in the house, and only four or live able-bodied women. The application was refused. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. Dr Lloyd (the medical officer) reported that Edward Hughep, 81 years of age, an inmate, bad attempted to commit suicide by stabbing himself in the abdomen. The matter was reported to the police, and the man was found to be mentally de- ranged, and required watching. The doctor also reported that the Workhouse infirmary was full of cases requiring con- stant attention, and the nursiog was ixceptionally heavy. CONTRIBUTION REDUCED. It was decided, on the recommendation of the finance committee, to reduce the Board's contribution for the Society for the Home Teaching of the Blind from £ 5 5s to £ 2 2s. INCREASED RATES. THE HALF-YEARLY BUDGET. The Clerk, on behalf of the finance committee, submitted the estimate of the amounts required, which showed that the county rate for the Flintshire portion of the Union oame to Is 51 in the X. and for the Denbighshire portion of the Union Is 3td, the increase for Flintshire as com- pared with the corresponding period of last year being 4d in the 9, and for Denbighshire 2d. The amount requ:r?d for poor law purposes only was £ 6182, whereas over Xll,000 had to be provided for county rate purposes making a grand total of X18,742, or an increase of X2400 on the corresponding period last year. Mr T Pennant Williamg, chairman of the finance committee, in moving the iadoption of the estimates, expressed dis- appointment at the increase. So far as the Flintshire portion of the union was concerned, they would deriTe but little benefit from the extra expenditure. The increase for the year was Bid in the £ The fiaanoe committee had made a pro- test on this point before, but he believed they should do it again. He moved on behalf of the finance committee that the expenditure on the upkeep of the roads, which was continually increasing, should no longer be changed exclusively to the local rates, as traffic under modern con- ditions was no longer local, and the ex- panse should therefore be borne by the Imperial exchequer. Mr Robert Davies seconded. Mr J Ellis Jones moved that the cost of educaticB ba also included in the re- solution. This expense fell very heavily on the ratepayers. Education was as much a national concern as the main roads. Mr R Armor Jones explained that this matter had been fully discussed in com- mittee, and although he agreed with Mr Jones' proposal he would suggest that a similar resoiotion on education expendi- ture would ba more effective if sent separately. A resolution could be passed at their nrxk meeting protesting against it. The Chairman supported the recom- mendation of tbe Finance Committee. He was pleased to understand tnat Mr Herbert Lewis had a bill in hand which, if passed, would relieve locil ratepapers. rho increased rates was mainly due to the tremendous fxpaniiture on maia roads. He aho agreed ich Mr Ellis Jones in regard to the expense of education. Much money was spent on unnecessary buildings, of which he knew a glaring instance at Rbyl. Mr Ellis Jones withdrew his amend- ment, and the motion was then adopted. T LATE MR GWILYM PARRY. The Local Government Board wrote sanctioning the propoBed repayment to the family of the late Mr Gwilym Parry, the registrar of births, deaths and marriages, of contributions to the superannuation fund the circumstances being exceptional. Mr Hugh Williams (Denbigh) said he desired to thank the Clerk and others who had been instrumental in getting this money refunded. NURSING.

BAIkasL E^ti BACKACHE KIDNEY PILLS Every Picture Ullt a Stery" It is Proof like this which has made Doan's Backache Kidney Pills the most popular medicine in Denbigh. On January 2nd, 1909, Mr. E. Evans, of 1, Wellington Terrace, Wellington Road, Rhyl, said u After a bad cold I became seriously troubled with severe pains across my back and loins. When I stooped they darted across my bsck like the stb from a knife, and I had to be oareful how I straightened myself up. I felt constantly tired, especially first thing in the morning'. There were violent head- aches, and at times these were so severe that I cjuld scarcely see. The kidney excretions were unnatural and painful. I tri>d diff rent medicines, but got no relief until I used Doan's Backtche Kidney Pills. These pills did me good from the first, so I kept on with them tiil all signs of the complaint had left me. Doan s Pills seemed just suited to my case. I take much pleasure in testifying to their value. (Signed) E. EVANS."

DEATH.—March 29ih, the result of a sad accident at Denbigh Railway Station, Mr George Roberts, of Aled House, Caerwys, and a highly respected and moat faitbtal: employee for 14 years of Mr William Williams, timber merchant, Caerwys. Ever genial and obliging to all with whom he oame in contact. THE FAIR,—The fair on Tuesday was generally considered, a good one, being very numerously attenned. A large number of cattle, sheep and lambs sold quickly at fair prioee. Owing to the swine disease there were cot so many pigs ex- posed as usual, though a fair number ohanged hands. A good show of horses were to be seen.

==- Caerwys Man Killed at Denbigh Station. A terrible fatality occurred at Denbigh Station on Monday afternoon, which was A great shock to all who witnessed it. It appeared that George Roberts, of Aled House, Caerwys, aged 46 years, a married man with four children, employed by Mr William Williams, timber merchant, Cserwys (in whose service he had been for many years), along with three other man, was loading timber at the station, and in walking the tree trunk for the purpose of measuring the man slipped and fell, and in some way or other caused a huge trunk of a poplar tree to slip oat of its place, fall and toll upon him, striking him on the head and rendering him unconscious. His mates rushed to his assistance and gave every help that was possible. Dr Jackson was immediately summoned but found life extinct, and stated that death must have been instantaneous. Deceased was removed to Denbigh Infirmary mortuary to await an inquest.

THE INQUEST. The Coroner for West Denbighshire (Mr Robert Davies) held an inquiry into the cncumstances attending the death of the deceased on TusEdry at the Infirmary. Mr Marsden Davies was the foreman of the jury. Mr Sidney Watkins (of Messrs A 0 Evans and Oo's office) appeared for the employer of the deceased, and Mr W Evans, of Wrexham, watched the prociedings on behalf of the widow and family of tho deceased. Robert Owen Williams, Alod House, Cserwys, gave evidence of identification, and eaid that the deceased was 46 years of age. Charles Parker, 59, Lower Bridge-street, a timber loader, said that on the day in question the deceased pointed out a tree which he required moving to the railway truck. He (witness) turned round to go to the crane when the end of a tree swung round, knocking the deceased down, and picned him to the ground. The tree would weigh about 35 cwt. He heard no sound from the deceased, who must have been killed instantly. As far as he could say the timber was piled up carefully and safely. The crane was not in motion when the accident happened. He had been loading timber with the deceased for 15 years, and he had always found him a most cireful man. Piitchard Pearcey and J Ridley gave similar evidence. Dr Jackson said that on examination he found that the neck of the deceased was broken, and death was in his opinion instantaneous. The jary returned a verdict of ee, accidantal death, and passed a vote of sympathy with the relatives of the deceased. «

The two Road Surveyors reported their estimated requirements for road repairs during the next half-lear, and the Clerk suggested that a rate of 7tl in the £ ba made to meet those and other charges against the Council during the ensuing half-year. Mr Ba^natt Jones proposed, and Mr Robert Davies seconded, that a 7t rate be levied. „ NOTIFICATION OF BIRTHS ACT. A letter was read from the County Council of Dsnbighshire relative to a pro- posed scheme for the adoption of the Notification of Births Acts, 1907. The scheme would mean a charge ofC500 on the county rate, the propotion of this Ccuncil being aC48 la 81. LLANDDULAS WATER SUPPLY. The Clerk produced amended plans submitted by Mr Sborr for the improve- ment of the water supply at Llanddulas. The scheme is estimated to cost XI,726, but the loan for the purpose should include certain contingencies. Canon Roberts proposed that application be made for sanction to the loan ot £ 2,000, Mr Robert Davies, seconded, but In- sisted that the district of Rhydyfoel which had been overlooked in the scheme should be included. The proposition was adopted. LLANSANNAN WATER SUPPLY. Replying to Mr Jones, the Clerk said that when he bad prepared the plans and specifications for the Llansannan water scheme, an application would be made in the same way as that made for Llanddulas to the Local Government Board for sanction to a loan. THE HOUSING PROBLEM. The bousing question was considered at a meeting of the S5 Asaph (Denbigh) Rural District Council on Friday. It was stated that in the whole district there were 118 houses where overcrowding exsisted, and 114 houses were in a defective state. The number of new houses required was 102. Canon C F Roberts proposed that the plans prepared in connection with the Llanddulas housing soheme (estimated to cost aC2,281 for 12 houses) be forwarded to the Looal Government Board. By a majority the Council rejected the motion in view o! a more extensive scheme being probably required.
