Coast Erosion. Tho Surreyor having drawn attention to the coast erosion east of the boundary of the dis- trict, it was reported that the Clerk had been directed to write again to the Board of Trade with the view of some action being taken to prevent the erosion. Mr Ellis said the recent storms were Tory severo as regards tIn Welsh coast, and he regretted to state that by their action a small portion of the wet end extension defence works had been undermined. Recalling the old adage, A stitch in time saves nine," he urged upon the Council the advisability of remedying the damage done forthwith. The Surveyor had advised him that a sum of +10 would be necessary to meet what was urgently required. In some parts the foundations had been exposed to a depth of as much as f Jur feet. What was pleasing to notice, however, was that during the past fow days a considerable quantity of gravel had been thrown up against the sea-wall it the east ciil. But farther e3.1t, outside the town boundary, the erosion had of late been of a very serious character. From figurcs supplied by the Surveyor he gathered that from 1871 to 1898 the sea had encroached upon them by no It1 si than 100 yards, while sines it had made a further advance of 40 yards. If the encroachment of the sea continued at that rate it would very seriously affect the position of the town in a few years. Mr T D Jones supported Mr Ellis' proposal that the Surveyor be allowed to spend a sum not exceeding JE10 upon making good the damage at tho west end. Mr Frimston was of opinion that more than Elo would be necessary. The sea wall at te east end was in a very bad state, and he sug- gested that the spot ho visited with the view of deciding what was really necessary. Mr Ellis replied that the proposed expendi- ture of iClO was only to remedy the defects oalling for urgent attention. He quite recog- nised that it might cost C200 or zC300 to do the work on an elaborate scale. The proposal having been agreed to, the Vice. Chairman next suggested that both the damage at the west end and the erosion to the east of the town be made a matter for early action on the p^rt of the Council and if possible in conjunc- tion with other authorities. From observations he had made on the previous day the last storm had made greater ravages than any preceding storm. The sea-wall built by the late Captain Keatinge had been practically demolished and huge slices of the sandhills east of the town had beon carried away. Sooner or later they would have to face this question. So far they had been able to do nothing with the Rhuddlan Marsh Embankment Trustees or the St. Asaph Rural District Council. The district was in great danger and unless action was taken with- out much further delay they would be held responsible for grave dereliction of duty. lIe proposed that the East Anglian authorities who were faced with the same difficulty be communicated with, so that having ascertained what steps they had taken they might by a con- certed movement bring the whole matter before the Government in a definite and concrete form. The Clerk said he had been in communica- tion with the Board of Trade on the subject, and they had replied st iting that they were not in a position to take any action in the matter, and suggesting that if the Council anticipated dinger to their district from sea erosion they should, if they diI not already | possess sufficient powers, take steps to procure ( additional powers from Parliament. Continuing, the Clerk said he wai in a position to assure the Council that they had power to do any work outside their district in order to protect works within their district. Any expenditure in such a direction would be quite legitimate. J Mr Ellis At our own expense ? The Cierk Yes. He added that it had been suggested in committee that additional groynes should be constructed to the cast of the town boundary. Mr Perks, who supported what it had been decided to do forthwith in regard to the west end, said the statement made by Mr Ellis was a very disquieting one. They had been almost led to believe that the dredging operations in the Voryd were not the cause of the erosion that had taken place there. But although he was not an expert on the matter he strongly felt, and he believed Mr Ellis was of the same opinion, that a great deal of the mischief had I arisen and was still arising from the dredging. It was going to be a very serious matter if they had to spend £ 10 on temporary romedies after every storm that arose, and he thought the time had to spend £10 on temporary romedies after every storm that arose, and he thought the time n ars AU uaiiu tt Hull rSUIIlUlUlllg Ol » puriHUIlGUl character should be done. Mr H P Williams supported the proposal to seek to take action in conjunction with the East Anglian authorities, and ventured to express the opinion that if the sea kept on encroaching and broke through the sandhills it would reach a higher level than that of the rail- way 1 inc. Ho had been weighing in his mind the desirability of erecting a wall along Tynewydd Lano, but he had come to the conclu- sion that it would be better to have a report upon the whole question with the Tiew of taking action in conjunction with othor interested parties. Mr Tilby said that it must be recognised that the procedure the Vico-Chairman had proposed would make very slow progress.. Moreover, it was highly improbable that the Government would in the course of ths next twelve months bring in any measure to give increased sums to loc\l authorities. Conse- quently he fult that what had to be done in regard to this matter must be done by the parties I interested. They had tried to come to an ar- rangement with the adjoining owners, but they I had been met with the argument that it would be less costly from the owners' point of view to allow the land to be swept out of existence. I That, at any rate, was tho opinion of an owner of land in the immediate vicinity. Mr II P Williams had referred to the Railway Com- pany's position in the matter, and it seemed to I him that about the best course they could take would be to point out to the railway authorities that their line was in a serious position as well as the town. If they made an effort to meet the Railway Company in the matter he felt that something satisfactory and expeditious would be done. Certain it wns, howerer, that unless something was done the erosion would be attended with disastrous consequences in the southern part of the town. It was ultimately agreed to once again seek the co-operation of the adjoining landowners, together with the Railway Company, in the matter, as well as to ascertain what the east coast authorities were doing. Religious Work on the Foroshore Too Much Noise. With regard to a letter from Mr Goodbodf, Summerfiold, and Mr Parkes, evangelist, asking the Council to give them the first choice of the same position on the Rands as they had this year for their platform next year, it was recommended that the application be refused. Mr A Lewis Jones asked whether there I was any special reason why the application should be refused. Mr Frimston reminded the Council of the big fight they had some years ago over the question of tree speech on the foreshore, and in view of the result of that fight he asked if they had any right to refuse the request of these people. Mr Ellis We have the right to refuse thom what they aro asking for. Replying to Mr A Lewis Jones, he went 011 to say that they] could prevent any structure being placed oil the beach without their permission, and that was what the Road Committee was asking the Council to do. Mr Frimston ? Is that the only objection? Mr Ellis replied that there were other objections. It appeared that some of the gentlemen who occupied this platform last summer had vocal powers of a very strong character -(Iau,,htei-) --acd of a very objection- able character to people. living in the immediate I neighbourhood. They had had complaints from the owners of property and occupiers of houses oppo3ite the pitch, stating that the ongoings there had interfered with the comfort and peace of visitors staying in that locality. Ife therefore behoved them to restrain anyone who was inclined to make himself objectionable, wher- ever he might make his stand. Some people had lost visitors in consequence of this The Chairman Annoyance. Mr Ellis AnnoyaSoe and uproar. The object of the persons concerned might be a good one, but the whole question reminded him very much of Lord Palmerston's definition of dirt- they were in the wrong place. He did not consider the Promenade the place for any such work, nor did he think they did one iota of good. Mr Perks, in supporting the recommenda- tion of the committee, said the occupiers of houses immediately opposite the pitch had complained to him that they were absolutely lost in the noise. In one case a lady, some- what an invalid, had taken rooms for a month, but such was the discomfort she had to put up with in consequence of tho noise from the pitch that she left before her time was up, although she had paid for her rooms for the whole period. A similar complaint came from an adioinintr heuse. I The Vico-Chairman thought the matter could be amicably settled if it were not put so bluntly to Mr Goodbody as was proposed in the recommendation. He therefore suggested that the matter be referred back to the committee with a direction that they take into consideration the question of I the liourii for holding the services. Personally he did no think that so many services as were lield last summer wore necessary or reasonable, Mr John Hughes seconded this proposal. | Mr Frimston What about the vocalists ? 1 | think he ought to get some new ones by next f year (laughter). In the course of furtli3r discussion Mr Ellis humorously suggested that a sito more seawards be offered (laughter). Mr Frimston Do they collcct money there? Mr If ughes No. Mr A Lewis Jones said he hardly thought it fair that the evangelist" should be made the scapegoats for other people. He had no doubt that the complaints voiced by Mr Perks re- ferred to othera besides the evangelists, and he therefore thought the Road Committee should ascertain whether there were any other sources of annoyance. Mr Frimston We had complaints about Mr Cheetham, but I think he has reformed (laughter). Mr A Rhydwen Jones said he could quite corroborate Mr Perks' statement to the effect that the gathering in question had been a source of annoyance to the people residing opposite. But if they were to be removed from that pitch he asked, were they going to allow them to make themselves a nuisance in another part ? He thought it unfair to dra" Mr Cheetham's name into this matter. Mr ) Cheetham was a tenant of the Council. I A member So were these people. Mr A Rhydwen Jones thereupon asked what rent they paid compared with Mr Cheetham, and was informod that Mr Cheetham's rent amounted to 91.5 per aiintit-i while the evangelists paid 5s per week. That being the case he thought they ought to look at the mat- from the point of view of the revenue to be derived. Mr CheeLham was one by himself, but there was a crowd of these other people. He would rather be opposite Mr Cheetham's pitch any day than opposite the other. He I would, however, support the Vice-Chairman's proposal. Thetimendniont was eventually carried by nine votes to four. Surveyor's Report. The Surveyor's monthly report was as follows —I beg to report that the number of loads of sand removed from the Promenade, Parade roads, and foreshore was 1278. 67 loads of sweepings have been carted away from the streets during the month. :32 van loads of water have been taken from the standpipes and Town Hall tank,—7 loads being for street watering and 25 loads for repairing. The amount of sunshine registered at Rhyl from September 25th to October 22nd (twenty-eight days) was 122 hours 20 minutes,—an average of 4 hours 20 minutes per day. Repairs have been neatly executed on Cefndy Road and Vale Road—-169 tons of material having been used. Sandscreens have now all been fixed. The work of laying a sewer in Crescent Road has proceeded satisfactorily. I have commenced ] the relaying of St Asaph Street sewer and I J expect the work to last about 3 weeks. Four new surface water gullies have besn < fixed in High Street, and I am pro- [ ceeding to fix two more in Market Street. { I have commenced the asphalting of some of the paths of the Lake, which I shall complete in a fortnight. The work of extending the present Bowling Green is progressing satisfactorily, although I have considerable difficulty in ob- taining soil for the same. Rival Council Undertakings. The Gas Committee minutes showed that 4,464,700 cubic feet of gas were delivered from the works during October, or 30'J,200 less than during the corresponding period of last year. Comm'ing upon these figures, the Engineer sta ■1 The decrease in the sale of gas for the month is a disap- pointing figure, but it can easily be understood when the competition of the electric light and the extremely fine weather which prevailed throughout the month are taken into considera- tion. October, 1903, was the wettest month experienced during the past 4 years." According to the Electric Light Committee's minutes 19,509 units were generated during the past month, as against 22,112 units a year ago, the works costs amounting to E135 7s 4d. as against £131 5s fid a year ago. The number of connections to date as compared with a year ago was as follows :-Arc, 108, 106 incandes- cant, 3932, 3078 motors, 12, 10 the increase during the past month was 54, as against an increase of 111 during the corresponding period of last year. Mr Tilby thought the figures furnished by the Gas Engineer were rather disquieting, for he did not think there was all that improvement in the output from the Electric Light Works. The reports from other localities in North Wa!e. showed increases in both departments. An authority a short distance away had recently reported i.n increase of half a million feet in the consumption of gas. The Gas Engineer, taking it that Mr Tilby referred to Colwyn Bay, said it must be borne in mind that the growth there had been exceed- ingly rapid of late. Mr Tilby maintained there ought to be some fuller explanation forthcoming than the one given in the minutes, and he hoped the Gas Committee would inquire into the matter. A Month's Water Supply. It was reported that 10,052,000 gallons (,f water were delivered throughout the district during the past month, as against a delivery of 11,675,000 gallons twelve months ago. The reservoir on October 31st contained 4,750.000 gallons. Tho New Reservoir.— £ 7,000 more wanted! On tho progress of this undertaking the Water Engineer reported as follows The trench excavation, puddle wall and embankment have made very good progress during the month of October, the weather being ill that could be desired for such work. No further fissures have so far been met with. The byewash is now practically complete, with the exception of the wall copings. The Water Committee reported having had under consideration the Engineer's report upon the cost of the new reservoir, by which it was shown that a further sum of £7000 is required to complete the work. It was recommended that application be made to the Local Government Board for sanction to take up a loan of £7000, repayable in 60 years, for the completion of the undertaking. Pend- ing the raising of the loan the Finance Com- mittee had requested a deputation to arrange with the treasurer for an advance of the money. Mr Perks said that from the first he had questioned the mode of procedure in regard to this undertaking, and he thought there was now some justification for his attitude. It came upon him as a bombshell when he learnt about a month ago that so largo an additional sum would be required to complete the works, and it looked as though the Water Committee had been very reticent in the matter. The Engineer had placed before them a very able report, but for all that it was rather disquieting to think that oven the additional £ 7,000 might be exceeded. Much more borrowing would be disastrous to the town. In fact their finances were already in a deplorable condition, and it behoved them to keep their expenditure at as low a level as possible. He did not wish in any way to belittle Mr Hall's capabilities, but it appeared to him advisable that they should call in an experienced man to report upon the present state of affairs and as to future requirements. He therefore propoted that an engineer be called in to make a report for them. Mr Winterbottom seconded, "to test the feeling of the meeting." Mr A Rhydwen Jones regretted that at practically the eleventh hour there should be any insinuations against their Water Engineer in this matter. Personally he had every confi- dence in Mr Hall both as a water and as a gas engineer. There had been a great out- cry, in connection with the settling of the foundations of the reservoir, that no trial holes were made. But it was very questionable if the Council would have been any better off to-day had such trial holes been made. For his own part he thought the Water Committee took a very commonsense view of the matter at the outset, and he not only congratulated 1. p f't tue xmgineer ana tile committee upon the satisfactory manner in which the work had proceeded, but also the Council for the manner in which up to the present they had backed up the water department in this great under- taking. But for any one to turn round now and indulge in unkind and unmerciful criticisms of the scheme was "hard lines" upon those who had borne the brunt of the work (hear, hear). Mr Ellis very much doubted if any outside engineer would be of any service at tho preRont istage. He was rather inclined to think that it would be simply throwing money away. lIe, too, thought they were to be congratulated upon having got so far through the undertaking as they had dono. The work had been kept well within the estimates of the committee. Only two votes being given in favour of Mr Perks' motion, it was easily outvoted, and the minutes were passed. To Guard against a Breakdown." The Electric Light Committee recommended, "as provision has been made for the feed pump at the Electricity Works in the loan of J:2,610, and confirmed by the Council, and as the [pump is an absolute necessity to guard against a breakdown, as advised by tho Engineer," that the resolution of the Council at their last meeting to defer the matter until the time for passing the next annual estimates bo roscinded, and that the Committee be authorised to order the pump without further delay. 1 Mr Tilby said his objection to this proposa had not yet been removed. He maintained that the Council was not in a position to afford duplicate machinery of every character. Ho wished to call the attention of the Electric Light Committee to the state of its own finances. Ho would not say the committee was spending money unwisely, but he would Ray it was doing so lavishly, and ho would like to know if they were getting full value in return. Mr Frimston thought Mr Tilby should be a little more definite in his charges, whereupon 1\:r.. "r;1 L"nfn.n..rl t. 1 ,j liic casn statement in connection with tho undertaking and pointed to a loss on the past half-year's working of £ 1511 as against an estimated loss for the year of £ 300. He admitted that in the past half-year's figures was put down to meet tho year's loan charges, but were they going to make up the lost ground this half-year ? He had not the slightest doubt that the whole of the loan now under consideration would be wanted in other directions, and he therefore proposed that tho question of providing another feed pump be again deferred. Mr Perks seconded the amendment. Replying to Mr Oldfield, the Electric Light Engineer said the usual practice was to have a duplicate pump, as it was the most important piece of machinery in the whole plant. They had been very close to a breakdown owmg to the single pump they had having been in bad order. On a division the recommendation of the com-, mittee was carried, only four members voting for tho amendment. The Queen's Palaoe Eloctriolty Supply. The minutes of a joint meeting of the Elec- tric Light and General l'urpcses Committees, rolative to the agreement with the Quoen's Palace Company for the supply of current, showed that at the first meeting Mr Doughty explained why the company had not signed the agreement to take current for five years at 31d. 4 per unit, for a minimum supply of 40,000 units per annum. Ho appealed for less stringent con- ditions, suggesting a minimum of 20,000 units per annum. The matter was further discussed at another meeting, when the committee decided to recommend that the terms of the agreement be as follows :—For a supply for five years, a minimum quantity per annum of 20,000 units, at 4d. per unit for any quantity between 20,000 and 25,000 units, at 3ifd. for all be- tween 25,000 and 30,000, at 3d. and for all above 30,000 at 3}d. The Finance Committee made the following recommendation :—That in view of the lost which has hitherto been suffered by the Electric Light Department, the Finance Committee respectfully suggests that the Electric Light Committee shall take steps to secure that the agreement between the Rhyl Urban District Council and the Queen's Palace Company nruy be signed without delay, and further urges that should further negotiations take place no departure be made from the terms of the agree- ment, either as to prioo, period, or minimum consumption. Mr Perks regretted that so much temporising had gone on in connection with this matter, with the result that the position between the two parties had been entirely upset. The Palace Company now seemed to plead for an agreement on a different basis altogether, on the ground, for one reason, that they pro- posed to alter the character of their en- tertainments, He would like to remind the Council of the hundreds of pounds spent with the view of conciliating the directors of the Palace Company. Roughly, R500 or JE600 had been expended to meet their requirements, yet they had failed to comply with the agreement originally proposed. As he had said before, he msintained, upon very high authority, that it was a most unwise proceeding for the Council to supply the com- pany on even the terms submitted to them, having regard to the heavy cost of the under- taking and the town's financial position. He proposed that the Council decline to enter into any agreement to supply the company with current except at the ordinary rate of 51 per unit for any amount up to 20,000 units and L at id per unit for any quantity abovo. Mr J A Williams seconded the amendment, remarking that it was only fair to the ratepayers. Mr Tilby said that personally ho had a great deal of sympathy with Perks' proposal, but ho did not want to put a single obstacle in the way of the Palace Company, who would still be by far their largest consumers even if they did not take more than 20,000 units per annum. He was prepared to support the recommenda- tion of the committee on the understanding that the terms were accepted without further delay. Let the Palace Company know that those were bedrock proposals. Mr Frimston said this matter had been a source of a great deal of worry to him, and he felt it as a personal matter that the electric light department should be so severely criticised from time to time, as though they were deliberately running their heads against a wall. He had borne tho brunt of a great deal of very harsh criticism. In regard to the matter before them he felt th,t they were conceding the Palace Company very favourable terms, in fact in committee he proposed that they atart with a minimum of 25,000 units at 4d per unit, but gave way to the majority. He had every reason to think that the Palace Company would accept the terms now recommonded. Mr Aslirield said that when the terms were oommunicatod to him he was under the impression that the price given was an annual prico, not that there was to be any agreement for five years, and that was how he had reported the matter to his co-directors. He could not answer for his co-directors in regard to the stipulation for a five years' agreement, but he believed they were quite willing to accept all the other conditions. On a division Mr Perks' amendment was easily outvoted, and the recommendation of the committee carried. In view of this decision the recommendation of tho Finance Committee was deferiei. Dredging In the Foryd. The Road Committee reported having had under consideration the correspondence read at the last meeting of tho Council from the Board of Trade in reference to dredging operations in the Voryd, and they recommendod that the thanks of the Council bo tendered to the Board of Trade for so far meofeing their wishes, and that they be respectfully requested to favour the Council with a copy of the letter from Mr Robert Jones, containing the assurance required from him, viz., to obtain from time to time the views of the Town Surveyor as to the most fvdvantageous position in whioh his dredgers snould work. Replying to Mr Perks, the Clerk said he! had; been in communication with the Board of Trado, and they had forwarded him a copy of Mr Robert Jones' lottor giving the required assurance. The Vice-Chairman inquired if it was a fact that Mr Robert Jones had transferred his dredging rights to anyone else. He had been told that such was the easo. The Clerk did fnot think any transfer had taken place. Mr Perks hoped the Clerk would satisfy himself as to whether any change was going to take place. Mr Ellis I think that if Mr Robert Jones has any intention of relinquishing his rights to the dredging we should have the first refusal. With the Chairman's observation that ho did not think Mr Robert Jones was giving up the dredging, the discussion dropped. Work for tho Unemployed. Arising out of a reference by Mr Frimston to the unemployed question, in the course of which he said he had loarnt tlut the proposed alterations at the Post Office would not be started until after May next, it was decided to authorise the Road Committee to proceed with the making up of Glanglasfor forthwith. Tho Treasurer's Aooount An 11 Inacisquately pfild 11 Official. With regard to a letter from the treasurer pointing out that ho was inadequately paid for L T7'w f'I nis services the r mance (Jommittee had resolved that the deputation already appointed, viz., Chairman of the Council, Chairman of this Committee and the Clerk, with the addition of the Vice-chairman, be requested to seek an interview with the Treasurer on the subject. The committee further recommended that a sum of at least £ 500 be provided for in next year's estimates, towards reducing the deficiency in the general account, and that a similar sum be provided in each succeeding year until it is wiped out.—Carried. Mr Tilby reported the result of the deputa- tion's visit to the treasurer, namely, that a satisfactory arrangement had been arrived at and a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the deputation. Plans. The Road Committee reported having dis- posed of plans as follows :-Four dwelling houses in Westbourno Avenue, by Mr E L Williams (amended), approved alterations at 12 Wellington Road, by Mr R B Slinn, disap- proved two dwelling houses in Butterton Road, by Mr Thos. Lloyd, approved baths, &c., in Sussex Street, by Mr Alfred Huxley, disapproved. Breaoh of Byelaws. In regard to a breach of byelaws as to height of rcome, ttc, in new houses built by Mr A Torkington, it had been resolved that legal proceedings be taken by the Clerk for enforcing the byelaws.

The Palace and the Merrle Merr. It was reported that the question of fixing the time for the evening performances by the Merrie Men had been under consideration, arising from a complaint by the Queen's Palace Company that tho open shows and evening performances in close proximity to the Palace seriously interfered with the takings of tie entertainments at the Palace. A letter had been received from the Palace secretary, Mr E W Parry, on the subject. The matter had been deferred for the Clerk to enquire what is done in other seaside resoits.
