CAPEL CURIG. PARISH COUNCIL.—A meeting of the Parish Council was held on Tuesday, Mr. John Griffiths presiding. A letter was read from the Postmaster at Llandudno re the curtailment of labour at the Post Office, and suggesting that the hours in future should be from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. It was decided to agree with the recommendation of the Postmaster. The Clerk (Mr. R. E. Thomas) reported that the wicket gate which had been lying near the school had not yet been 3xett. The landlord of the property had promised to fix the same on condition that the Council provided the gate. It was de- cided to draw the attention of the landlord to the same, as 'he ratepayers were under the impression that it was a neglect of duty on the part of the Council. It was further resolved that "he necessary repairs be done to the footpath leading from this gate to Bryntyrch, and to ask the Gemoeydd Coun- cil to erect a sign-post at the junction of the Bryntyrch and Capel Curig and Crafnant footpaths indicatin.g the way to Bettwsy- coed.

Conway Housing Proposals.
Conway Housing Proposals. At the Corporation meeting at Conway, on Wednesday, the following report of the Housing and Improvement Committee was submitted Certain sites were suggested for the building thereon of workmen's dwell- ings, and it was unaimously resolved That the Borough Surveyor reports to the next meeting as to the suitability of these sites, with the measurements, &c.' It was further resolved that the Borough Surveyor be also instructed to report to the next meeting upon any suitable site in the Borough for the building thereon of work- men's dwellings." Alderman Netherwood said he was in the chair at the meeting of the Committee, and the minutes did not convey the least idea of what happened. He was sorry that Coun- cillor R. Jones was not present, because it was an injustice to him that the minutes did not appear fully, as it was a great and important subject. In his way, Councillor Jones had been trying to bring forward a housing scheme, and they fully expected, after so many years, that something tangible would be brought forward. He (Councillor Jones) moved in the Committee that the Surveyor report on the Town Ditch as a suitable site for workmen's dwellings. It was pointed out that the area of Town Ditch was not sufficient to comply with the Council's Bye-Laws, and it was also pointed out, and Councillor Jones had to admit, that the houses would be facing the Town Walls. In order to get sufficient room for the houses, Councillor Jones was going to lessen the width of the present road, and it was pointed out by the Surveyor that the road could not possibly be more than 12 feet wide, and the Council's Bye-Laws distinctly stated 36 feet. He expected that something of that would be in the minutes. It was no busi- ness of an authority like the Corporation to create slums. It was their duty, if there were any slums, to wipe them away and give the workmen the healthiest spots in the Borough. He moved that this was a true record of what took place, and that the re- port be referred back. Councillor Stott seconded, and it was agreed to.
Llanfairfechan Urban District!…
Llanfairfechan Urban District Council. UNEQUAL RATING. A meeting of the Council was held on Tuesday evening. The Chairman (Mr. J. Harrison) presided, and the other members present were Messrs. W. G. Roberts (Camarnaint), Thos. Roberts, J. R. Williams, W. Timminms, J. D. Williams, T. J. Owen, T. S. Morgan, Dr. Archdall, Messrs. W. G. Roberts (Hall Bank), and Harry Jorss with the Clerk (Mr. W. H. Ellis) and the Surveyor (Mr. Thomas Hughes). ENCROACHMENT ON THE SHORE. It was reported that a special meeting of the Council had been held on the seashore, to consider the sea encroachments, and it was decided to erect an additional wooden groyne to prevent further encroachments. With regard to Penclip the Council de- cided that the proposed purchase by the County Council of land at Penclip be ap- proved, and that the Council should ask the County Council to receive a deputation to impress upon them the desirability of ac- quiring the necessary land. The Council also agreed with regard to en- croachments by the sea that the owners of the land at the sea front be written to as to the sale of the land. PEN YCLIP. The Clerk to the Carnarvon County Coun- cil (Mr. J. T. Roberts) wrote asking whether the Council agreed to the purchase of the land at Penyclip within their jurisdiction, required for the protection of ths road. The Penmaenmawr Council had given their con- sent, and as soon as the Llanfairfechan con- sent was received, it was his intention to call a special meeting of the Surveyor's Com- mittee to consider the matter, and this would be followed by a special meeting of the County Council. He had already pointed out to the Council the importance of acting promptly, as further delay might result in the finding that the land had been sold to the Railway Company. In a subsequent letter the Clerk to the County Council stated he feared the Office of Woods would be un- willing to sell the plot: and all events that was the view expressed by the gentleman whom he saw when he called at the office. Sir Stafford Howard was only willing to sell so much of the land as was required for the protection of the road, and in his opinion the two plots the subject of the present negotiation were ample for the purpose. The Office of Woods wrote that Sir Stafford Howard regretted he was unable to enter- tain the Council's application to purchase further land at Penyclip owing to the pro- bable future requirements of the Penmaen- mawr quarries. Mr. T. J. Owen said it was clear the Sur- veyor's Committee did not understand the situation. He proposed that a deputation be sent to then. Mr. Jorss agreed, and said if the road was undermined the old road would have to be brought into 1.,se again. Mr. T. G. Morgan said it was wrong of the Office of Woods to give preference to the ?u?-Tr-y Company It was decided to send a deputation to the Surveyor's Committee. THE CENSUS. A letter was read from the Census Office stating that on the night of Sunday, April 2nd, 1911, a census of the population of England and Wales would be taken, and asking the co-operation of the Council in order to secure the services of efficient enumerators, upon whom the success of the census largely depended. Mr. T. G. Morgan suggested that unem- ployed clerks should be recommended for the work. In some places where paid officials did the work, their remuneration was deducted from their salaries. Mr. Timmins said the work would have to be done properly. Mr. Jorss: Our officials have plenty of work to do already. It was decided to allow the officials to do the work if they so desired. THE LOCAL TRAIN SERVICE. A letter was read from the London and North Western Railway Company regarding a Llanfairfechan stop being given on the 4 p.m. express Liverpool to Carnarvon. They were sorry to say that to give this stop would risk del,tying the down Irish Boat Express which followed the train closely through Bangor with the result that the 4 p.m. from Liverpool would frequently be held at Llandudno Junction for the boat ex- press to pass, and the service at Llanfair- fechan would be then no better than at present. As the Council knew, there was a train already leaving Llandudno Junction for Llanfairfechan at 6.8 p.m. In any case the time tables were now printed until the end of April, and they would not be considering any alterations for some time. Mr. Timmins said that if the Council wanted satisfaction from the Railway Com- pany a deputation must be sent to them. It was decided to send a deputation to Chester- A PLAGUE OF RATS. A letter was read from Mr. J. M. Baker, of the Gorddinog Estate Office, stating that Colonel Platt, C.B., wished him to write to the Council and ask if anything could be done to kill the rats—huge things that in- fested the rubbish tipped at Glasmor Elias by the Council. After a discussion, Ir. W. G. Roberts suggested that the Surveyor should get rid of the nuisance, and this was agreed to THE FORESHORE. Mr. Rice Hughes, Bay-view, Llanfair- fechan, sent a letter in which he stated that as the tenancy of the foreshore at Llanfair- fechan terminated at March, he would feel obliged if the Council would kindly allow him to rent it again for future seasons. He found it a great convenience to his business. The letter was referred to a Committee. THE RECTOR S COMPLAINT The following letter was read from the Rector of Llanfairfechan, and a Special Committee was appointed to consider the matter: May I ask the Council to take the following proposition into consideration with regard to the surface water that at present runs on to the building sites in the Rectory field. The present arrangement is most unsatisfactory, and I am writing to suggest that we should be allowed to close up the present outlet and let surface water flow pass the Penybryn Hotel, and empty itself on the Rectory Field on the last side of the Churchyard. Mr. Williams will readily do what he can to carry this plan out, and as I am still providing an outlet for the surface water on to the Rectory field, I hope the Council will accede to my request. I am not trying to get out of taking the sur- face water, I am only suggesting that I should be allowed to take it in. in another place." In view of the recent accident it was de- cided to ask the Railway Company to form wide steps on the 10ne pitching near Pant- y-Penmaen. RATING INEQUALITIES. Mr. T. G. Morgan protested against rating inequalities n the town. He said two houses erected in Park-terrace had been assessed at [12, whereas the rent asked for one of them was L2,S. They complained of inequalities, and here they were perpetrating another anomaly The Surveyor We assessed them the same as other houses in the place. Mr. Morgan We are worse off than under the Vestry. Mr. W. G. Roberts (Camarnaint) The whole place wants ie-valuing. Mr. TimrniiJS It is time we tackled our Guardians in the matter to let us have a re- valuation. Mr. T. O. Morgan moved that the Assess- ment Committee should be asked to re-assess the whole Union, and this was carried. THE CEMETERY. The Surveyor reported that the Cemetery had been tidied, and Dr. Archdall hoped it would be kept in that condition. THE SE V FRONT. It was decided to hold a meeting at the sea front to consider the recent encroach- ments, Mr. Jorss saying the position was serious, the place having been changed after the recent gale.

These increases bring the gains for the eleven months of the year up to very big figures when comparism is made with the first eleven month of 1909. Exports from January to November, inclusive aggregate ^'393,165,000, an increase of Z48,576,000, while imports amount to £609,359,000 against ^563,990,000 an increase of ^'45,368,000. Even after allowance has been made for the probability that foreign trade during the current month will not make such an encouraging showing in consequence of the political excitement attending the Gen- eral Election, the commercial world can al- ready congratulate itself upon a prosperous year, and can find moreover special grounds for satisfaction in the fact that trade has gone ahead more rapidly in this country since the end of last year than has been the case either on the other side of the Atlantic or in a majority of the continental countries. Dealing in detail with the ex- port and imports movements of November, the usual features are to be noticed. More than the total increase in imports is account- ed for by the growth of raw material im- ports, which were ^3,067,000 heavier. This gain is increased by a slight growth in manu- factured imports, but against it has to be set a contraction of ^898,000 in food imports. By far the largest individual ncrcase in raw material imports during the month was in cotton, the value of imports of the staple being ^3,525,000 larger. This increase in the value of raw cotton purchases is not entirely accounted for by a corresponding growth in imported quantity, the weight of raw cotton 'mports being 3,300,000 cwts. against 2,748,000 cwts. for November of last year. As regards November exports, the expansion in manufactured exports practi- cally accounts for the whole of the forward movement. The value of manufactured ex- ports for November was Z28,725,000, against ^25,486,000, an increase of ^3,239,000. Here again cotton accounts for the largest share of the expansion, the value of manu- factured cotton imports being ^1,180,000 heavier. The rest of the increase is well distributed. Wool exports increased by [33°,000, and increases of around a quarter of a million were shown by manufactured iron and steel and machinery. The only decrease in manufactured exports for the month is a small contraction of £ 12,000 in leather goods. 8'C

Mr. J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., at Deganwy. FINE TRIBUTE TO THE CHANCELLOR. With but a few hours notice, there w;¡" an excellent meeting of Liberals in C.M. Chapel, Deganwy, last (Wednesday) evening, when Mr. J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., Parlia- mentary Secretary to the Local Government Board, paid a visit in support of the Chan- cellor of tha Exchequer Alderman A. Netherwood pre si kd, and accorded the dis- tinguished member of Parliament a hearty welcome to Deganwy. He delivered a scath- ing attack on the House of Lords, and ridi- culed the idea of the Lords reforming them- selve" County Councillor Ralph Fisher" proposed the following resolution That this meet- ing of Deganwy electors declares its un- bot nded confideijce in the Government in its determination to destroy the veto of the House of Lords. It further desires to ex- press its gratitude to the Right Hon. D. I-loyd George for his long and distinguished services to the -onstituencv ,nd the great cause of the people." In the course of an address, he made an appeal to the English electors who came to reside amongst the: to help them as Welsh people to realise their hopes, and to support the candidature of such a distinguished politician as their prospective Member. Concluding, he said that they had a great candidate, and there was not a constituency in England, Scot- land, Ireland and Wales that would not go on their hands and knees to get him. Let them therefore make the Carnarvon boroughs the crowning point in this great fight. {Ap- plause.) Mr. Robert Davies seconded. Mr. J. Herbert Lewis, M.P., was accorded an enthusiatic reception on rising to speak At the outset, he said it was just like taking coals to Newcastle to sing Mr. Lloyd George's praises in the Carnarvon Boroughs. Thcv had followed step by step the various stages of his remarkable career, which, be- ginning in a cottage in a Welsh village, had ascended from height to height of power, of influence, of fame, of popularity, of admin- istrative and legislative success, until he now occupied the second position in this country under the Crown. (Loud applause.) But when they contemplated the dazzling height which he had attained, THEY COULD NOT FORGET all 1he toil and strife through which he had attained it, the obstacles that he had over- come, and the undaunted spirit with which he had faced and conquered every difficulty. Was it not something for every boy who attended school to know that it was a coun- Uvman oi his own, with no greater external advantage than he himself possessed, that had climbed to this great height. Was it not enough to inspire him in the future at any rate to do his best. It was not only what the Chancellor had done or what he had attained, but it was the new spirit in- fused into his countrymen that entitled David Lloyd George to the gratitude of Wales. (Loud applause.) And now when they contemplated his great position, they remembered also that on the way that he had to encounter great unpopularity. He (the speaker) 'ememlbered the time when the popularity of their member was at its very lowest point, and he 'the speaker) might say that he never admiied him more than at that particular time. (Loud applause.) His conscientious convictions were such and his force of character such as to enable him to brave and brave successfully the storm of unpopularity and direct persecution that broke over his head (Shame ) He (Mr. Lewis) never admired him so much as he did at that time, and there must be, he felt sure, many a Conservative in the Carnarvon Bcrcughs who, although he did not agree with Mr. Lloyd George, was after all proud to be represented by a man of his character. (Loud applause-I
Judge Moss's Welsh Estate.
Judge Moss's Welsh Estate. The right of Judge Moss to prohibit the use nf i. footpath through his estate at Accr,a, Llanaimon, was discussed at a meet- ing of the Ruthin District Council on Mon- dav. The Parish Council forwarded a com- plaint from Mr. W. G. Roberts, a parish- ioner, that the Judge had threatened him with leg.,I proceedings for using the path, and had also put up notices declaring the path to be private, whereas it had been publicly used uninterruptedly within the memory of the oldest residents. The Clerk (Mr. R. H. Roberts) said he had discussed this question with Judge Moss, who had put up the notices on account of carts being taken along the path. It was a orivate road, and the J'ndge was quite pre- pared to assert his rights in the matter. He would not, however, object to neighbours using the path provided they asked per- mi^eve°al. Council!01s stated that the path had been regarded as public for between 30 and 40 years, and was a great boon to the id6C>d1^ of Ll-3LHir.nion« Mr. Robert Jones (Llanarmon) u^ed the parishioners to continue the use ofthe path, and thus compel the Judge to take le&». aation to assert his alleged rignts. Eventually the Clerk was instructed to reply to the Parish Council on the lines sug- gested bv Mr. Robert Jones-viz. that the parishioners should continue to use the path. t

- What Ireland owes to Wales.
What Ireland owes to Wales. FLINT COUNCILLOR'S TRIBUTE. Speaking at a Liberal meeting at Holywell on Monday night, Mr. T. O'Donovan, an Irish Catholic, and a well kn. WII member of the Flint Town Council, said he was an Irishman living in Wales, and was very .proud to be so. because i-ince 1886, when the late Mr Gladstone introduced his great Hom" Rule Bill—throughout those stirring years Ireland had had no stauncber friend than gallant little Wales—(hear, hear) -elec- tion after election they had stood true to the great cause of Home Rule—(applause)—when other co«nme3, Scotland and England, deserted it. He was glad to be on that plat- fcran with Air. Herbert iewi.i. If there was one man who deserved well of his country it was fr. Lewis, and as an Irishman he desired to pay his tribute to his sterling worth in the cause of Irish Home Rule. (Hear, hear.) With fr. Lewis Home Rule was a matter of conviction. He hoped some day they would tee a Welsh Parliament, with Mr. Lewis on6 of their Ministers. (Applause.)
