With reference to the repairs necessary to the Weir at Pentre Felin Bridge for the protection of the water mains there situate, the Engineer reported that the Mostyn Estate are not now prepared to do the work themselves, but they will pay the proper proportion of the cost of the work if carried out by the Council. The Engineer also stated that the, Con- way Rural District Council would con- tribute a sum of 95, and at the next, meet- ing of the Denbighshire County Council, an application that the Authority should also pay part of the cost would be con- sidered. It was; resolved that the Ei-igii-ieei- be directed to carry out the work, as soon as the water is low enough to permit of this being; done, it being made clear that the Council give no guarantee, or accept more than a fair share of responsibility.
