Holywell Rural District Ccuncil.
Holywell Rural District Ccuncil. Proposed Improvements on Cilcen Roads. "WANT THE WHOLE LOAF." A meeting of -the Holywell Rural District Council was held on Friday last. Present: Mr. R. Lloyd Davies (chairman), Mr. Edgar J. Gaskell (vice-chairman), Mrs. Johnson Jones, Rev. I. C. Roberts, Messrs. Edward Evans, Edw. Jones, J. Price, Wm. Wil- liams, Wm. Roberts, S. Reynolds, Wilfred Astbury, D. Hughes, Peter Evans, Edward Davies, Win. Evans, and John Roberts, .with Mr. P. Harding Roberts (clerk), Mr. W. H. Roberts (assistant clerk), and the surveyors and inspectors. CHECKING WEIGHTS. Mr. Reynolds asked what check they had upon the weight of stones delivered on the roads. The Mold Surveyor replied that the loads were measured if there was a doubt about the weight. They had also a box by which they measured and gauged the loads of stone. Mr. Reynolds said it was important they should look into the matter. He had seen loads of stone which he doubted, and he should recommend the Council to look into it. It was stated that though loads could be weighed, there was no weighing machine in the district capable of weighing a traction load. The Clerk said the Surveyors would be only too pleased if some means could be de- vised of checking the supply of stones. Mr Astbury thought they should ask the contractors to guarantee the tonnage, and if they had any doubt afterwards a load could be weighed as a test. Mr. Reynolds inquired if the surveyors reported to the Council the number of loads of stones deposited on each section, and if they corresponded with the number contracted for. The Chairman: The surveyors check the bills and the roadmen number the loads. Mr. Gaskell suggested that the local councillors supervise the numbering of the loads. The Chairman did not agree with the councillors taking such a responsibility. The surveyors and their men should do such work. He agreed that the check should be made, and the owner of the stones should be present. The Holywell Surveyor said he had checked numerous loads, and had found them over-weight. Mr. P. Evans said the measuring box was not used often enough. He had seen many- loads which he considered were short weight. The surveyors should check the loads themselves, and keep a careful check upon the amount of stone supplied. If the stones were laid direct upon the roads they had no check whatever upon them. They had nothing to doubt about the weight of stones by rail; the Railway Company looked after that, and in that regard they were quite safe. It was agreed that the surveyors report upon the matter. •'NO ENCROACHMENT." The Surveyor reported upon the inquiry of the Ysceifiog Parish Council as to whe- ther there was not an encroachment on the road from Ddol, Afonwen, to Bryn Eitlnn. He said that there was a public path over an accommodation road. There was no interference with the path and no encroach- ment made. Mr. Peter Evans asked if the surveyor had been on the road. The Surveyor: I don't report without having seen the actual thing. I was there on Monday last. I inspected the Nanncrch, road. If you have any doubt I ask that a committee be appointed to inquire into it. Mr. Peter Evans I was told he had not been there. The Surveyor If the charge is made, it is very wrong. Mr. Peter Evans: I was told so. It is only fair to say so. The Surveyor: Do you doubt me ? Mr. P. Evans: I only say what I was told. The Clerk: Possibly supplementing his personal visit he made inquiries and that led to mis-conception. The Surveyor: It was Saturday and not Monday last, and I might say Mr. R. Roberts came with me and held my horse while I went up the road. Mr. T. C. Roberts: As the complaint came from the Parish Council, I should re- commend a committee. It was afterwards decided that a copy of the report be forwarded to the Ysceifiog Parish Council in the first instance. NANNERCH ROAD TO WERN MILL. The Surveyor reported that the road from Nannerch to Wern Mill, complaint as to which had been preferred by the Nannerch Parish Council, was not repairable by the District Council. "CILCEX WTANTS THE WHOLE LOAF." The Surveyor reported upon certain pro- posed improvements on Cilcen roads, which it was stated would cost some E35. The surveyor added that this would be recover- ed out of grants. Mr. Peter Evans objected, and asked why such matters could not have been brought when the rates were low. Rates were high, and because they were high it seemed as though they were inclined to raise them further. Their one business seemed to be to spend the rates instead of saving them. Mr. W. Roberts: There are plenty of place-s worse than the Cilcen road. Mr. T. C. Roberts: We granted Cilcen a very generous sum of money only a fort- night ago. Mr. Edward Davies: They are not satis- fied with getting a lot there. Mr. T. C. Roberta: They want the whole loaf. Mr. Edw. Davies: I want improvements in Cilcen, but I do not agree with being extravagant. The matter was referred to a committee to visit and report. "MISCHIEVOUS HANDS" AT WORK. The subject of protecting walls was raised, and reference made to a wall at Lower Calcot near Glanrafon, which cost £50 to build, but which was now going to ruin. The Surveyor said mischievous hands had been at work In one instance a retain- ing wall had been rebuilt three times since he had been in office. The Surveyor was requested to report up- on the retaining walls referred to. NEWMARKET RAILWAY. Plans of the railway from Dyserth to Newmarket, being the extension of the Prestatyn to Dyserth Light Railway, were deposited by the London and North-Wes- tern Railway Co. as a preliminary to their application for the order. HILL CLIMBING TRIALS BY MOTORISTS. The Clerk stated that application had been made for leave to hold a motor cycle trial on the road at Rhesycae on Whit- Monday. In reply to an inquiry as to whether the Council had anything to say in the matter, the Clerk replied that they could not stop it. Mr. Wm. Roberts: They come to Cilcen and very often on a Sunday. The Clerk: It is a matter of courtesy that they make the application. WEIGHING MACHINE AT LANASA. A letter was received from Mr. Bates, of Gyrn Castle, Llanasa, stating that it was the intention to put down a weighing machine at Llanasa, and the most conven- ient, place appeared to be in the angle of the road at the Gyrn Arms, Llanasa. He asked if the Council would sanction the position. It would encroach slightly upon the road, which, however, was broad at that point. He believed the Council had the I power to lay down a public weighing mach- Z, ine, and if the Council would take up the matter it would be much better than that it should be a private concern. Such a machine would be very useful, as there was no means of weighing a load nearer than Mostvn. The application was referred to the Sur- veyor for a report. CLUBROOM PLANS. The plans of the clubroom in course of erection at Bagillt, for the Unionist Club, were submitted for approval on the recom- mendation of the Inspector. The plans were approved. BAGILLT FLUSHING POOL. A communication was received from the solicitors to Messrs. Walkers, Parker and Co., Dee Bank Lead Works, with reference to the agreement as to the flushing pool, and intimating that the Company would not call upon the Council to clean out the pool in the first instance. The concession was deemed satisfactory, and the agreement was consented to. PAYMENT OF GREENFIELD SCAVENGING. The Local Government Board desired the observations of the Council OIl correspond- ence they had received connected with the report of the District Auditor, and the Overseers of Holywell Rural Parish, and Mr. J. Marsden, rate collector, in reference to the special expenses for the scavenging of Grenfield township. An order was is- sued by the Local Government Board authorising the levying of a rate upon the Rural Parish of Holywell, excluding the spe- cial sanitary district of Bagillt. The Assis- tant, Overseer excluded part of the parish of Coleshill Fechan. From the communi- cation it appeared that no copy of the Board's order was received by the overseers of the parish. It was common knowledge that the special expense was to meet the cost of removal of refuse in the township of Greenfield only, and in the absence of any communication to the contrary the rate was levied upon the township of Greenfield alone. No objection or complaint was re- ceived from any ratepayer in the township. A precept was issued for C120 to be collec- ted from the contributory place of Holywell Rural, no reference Vhatever being made to Greenfield. Mr. Marsden formed his own opinion as to the work being done, and al- located the charge upon the township of Greenfield only. As far as reference to the Board's order was concerned, that was a matter for the Local Government Board. If they thought an order was necessary to serve upon the overseers they would have done so. The contention was that there was no authority to allocate the rate with- out an order. The Clerk said he would reply to the correspondence pointing out the position of the matter.

He found everything in order and no complaints were received, and paid a compliment upon the way the painting and cleaning had been done. HOUSE COMMITTEE. At the meeting of the newly-constituted House Committee, the Rev. Dr. Oliver was appointed chairman for the ensuing year. The Committee inspected the several wards in the House, and though complaints were asked for, there were none made. It was reported that James Parry, Calcot, a skilled miner, had examined the draw well in the Cottage Home field as to shortage of water. He found the floor of the brickwork cham- ber quite dry.

Jones, the Medical Officer, stating in reference to a case referred to at the last Board meeting that the man had been treated by him as a panel patient for months. He had been seen by Dr Middleton, who did not con- sider the man was suitable for sanatorium, and in his (Dr. Jones') opinion he was now fit for light work. THE NEW INFIRMARY. The report of the Architects, Messrs. J. H. Davies and Son, Chester, on the new Infirmary was read and adopted. It was stated that Mr. Richard Jonee, the Clerk of the Works, was suffering from an attack of pneumonia and pleurisy, and the recommendation being made that his father, Mr. Richd. Jones, be allowed to carry out his duties during his illness, was adopted. Plans were submitted of the proposed generating station and storage room, and upon their approval it was decided, in or- der to expedite the work, to personally submit the plans to the Local Government Board for their approval.

Susan Netterville bequest. The Clerk replied that the matter was not being lost sight of. The trustee had not completed the accounts. He did not know how the Board could in any way force a settlement—it was a difficult matter dealing with the French Courts. He had written lately and would do so again.

-<t4- LOVE "KNOCKED OUT." A young married woman, Florence Ab- bott, obtained a separation order against her husband, a collier, at Chesterfield. Complainant said they were married close upon three years ago and almost every week- end he had ill-treated her. "He does not stop to drink all," said she, "he eats it" (laughter). By Mr. A. J. Hopkins (who defended): He had shown his craftiness since he got the summons by going on the club. She did not know her husband was consump- tive. "But he is not a strong subject?" sugges- ted Mr. Hopkins. "Isn't he; he can thump me about," re- plied the wife amid laughter. You have no love for him?—No; and I never shall have. You never have had?—I had at one time, but it has been knocked out of me every Friday. When was the love knocked out of you?- Nearly two years since.

Caergwrle Petty Sessions
Caergwrle Petty Sessions SUNDAY GAMBLING. Thursday.—Before Messrs. H. H. Hughes, Richard Allen, W. G. Barcroft, and J. D. Griffith. LANDLADY MUST PAY. The Hawarden Rural District Council summoned Mrs. Annie Bellis, of Rock Fer- ry, to recover the expenses incurred by the Council in providing a water supply to a house at Caer Estyn, owned by the defend- ant. Mr. Hugh G. Roberts, the clerk to the District Council, who appeared to prose- cute, explained that the tenant complained to the Council about the inadequacy of the water supply, and the local authority then served notice on the defendant to provide a supply. She refused, whereupon the Dis- trict Council instructed the Wrexham and East Denbighshire Water Co. to connect the house with their mains, which was done at a cost of £ 4 76. 2d. to the Council, who were now seeking to recover the amount from the defendant, plus interest at the rate of 5 per cent., as allowed by the Act of Parliament. All he had got to do, said Mr. Roberts, was to show that the defend- ant received the rents. Leslie Fredk. Wilson, the Council's in- spector of nuisances, said he received a complaint from the occupier of the house in question, and on examination witness found that the water supply was insufficient. Mr. Kendall, the tenant, produced his rent receipts and said he had no water sup- ply during the hot months of July, August and September. They had to cart water for ten weeks from a field on the other side of the road, because the pump was dry. The defendant maintained that the pump never failed, and that there was an excel- lent water supply to the house. The Bench made the order for £ 4 7e. 2d., plus interest, and the court costs. DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. Jos. Fidler, of Caergwrle, was fined 5s. and costs for being drunk and disorderly in High street on the 13th April.—P.C. Jones and Sergt. Parry gave evidence. Frank Lee, a Liverpool visitor, was sum- moned for a like offence, and it transpired that defendant was liberated from the pol- ice station to catch the train home. De- fendant did not appear, and the magistrates ordered that his recognizances of 40s. be estreated, and also that defendant pay the costs, a further 9s. Ernest Molley, a Bootle resident, was fined 10s. and costs for being Jrunk and disorderly on Sunday, May 10th. The Chairman, commenting on the ab- sence of these trippers when summoned, said the Bench felt it to be a contempt of court. Very often these cases turned out to be worse and they wanted to give warning that in future they would not deal with the cases in the absence of the defendants, but issue warrants for their arrest. PRETENDED TO BE DRUNK. Three very respectable youths named James Walsh (who did not appear), Wm. Ducker, and John Alun Hughes, all hailing from Rhcsddu, were summoned for disor- derly conduct near the station on Sunday evening, May 17th. P.C. Hughes said that about 9.15 p.m. on the date named, the three defendants were behaving very disorderly by using bad lan- guage, jostling people about, and pretending to be drunk. Witness receded several complaints and found defendants near the Bridge Inn. A young lady named Dorothy Ellis de- posed that a disgraceful remark was said to her by one of the young men, and she went to a constable and made a complaint. Thos. Jones, a local grocer, said he heard filthy expressions used and saw very dis- orderly and foolish conduct. The two defendant.g who appeared (Duc- ker and Hughes) were each fined 56. and costs. Walsh was fined 10s. and costs. FROM SIDE TO SIDE. John Reece Hughes, of the Mos, near Wrexham, was fined 10s. and costs for being drunk on Sunday, 3rd May, at 9-30 p.m. Sergt. Parry said the defendant was stag- gering from side to side, and when asked where he had got his drink, said he had been "round the district." Defendant gave his wrong name and ad- dress, and the police had some difficulty in tracing him. GAMING WITH CARDS. Geo. Tomkinson, Dominica Bowker, Jas. Rimmer, and J. J. Hurley, all of New Bri- ghton, and none of whom appeared, were fined 10s. and costs for gaming with cards in the Castle grounds on Sunday, May 24th. The case was proved by P.C.'s Davies and Parry. Harold Duffy, a Liverpool youth, appear- ed to answer a summons for playing pitch and toss in the Castle grounds 011 the same date. The Bench cautioned the defendant and fined him a shilling and 5s. costs. Defendant's companion was also summon- ed, but it was stated that as lie had given a wrong name and address, the police had not been able to serve it. Defendant avow- ed that he did not know where this person lived. lIe met him for the first time a Caergwrle Station. Anthony McGeeham and Walter Smith, both of Birkenhead, were summoned for gaming with cards on the Wrexham-road. The police evidence showed that there was a gang of six, but only the two absent de- fendants could be caught. A fine of 10s. and costs was imposed in each case. DURING PROHIBITED HOURS. Geo. Kendrick, Jacob Griffiths, and John Roberts, three Buckley men, were summon- ed for being on licensed premises during prohibited hours on Whit-Sunday. Sergt Parry said that he found the three defendants in the Bridge Inn with drink in front of them. Later he found them in the Half-way House, and when they saw the police they emptied their glasses and hur- ried out. Kendrick and Griffiths were after- wards scen knocking at the door of the Derby Arms. These two defendants, when questioned what they were doing in Caer- gwrle, said they had business there, but did not state what their business was. Roberts was found by another officer in the Glynne Arms. His story was that he had come over to see his brother. As a matter of fact his brother lived in the same house at Buckley. Kendrick, who was the only defendant who appeared, said he had come to meet a young lady, but she had not turned up (lau- ghter). Then he went for a drink (laughter) Supt. Yarnell Davies: To drown his sor- row (laughter). Kendrick was fined 2s. 6d. and costs, Gri- ffiths 10s. and costs, and Roberts 20s. and costs. FOOTBALL IN THE STREET. Walter Shemell, of Walton, Liverpool, who was represented by his father, was summoned for playing football in Castle- street on Sunday, the 24tli May. The police evidence showed that four men were playing with the ball and causing great annoyance to the large number of people going up and down the street. Sergt. Parry got hold of a youth named Nelson, and defendant was seized by P.C. Oldfield. Defendant was fined 2s. 6d. and costs. Nelson had given a wrong name and ad- dress, and the summons against him had not been served. The other two men got away. "TO PASS AN HOUR." Wm. Cross, of Rhosrobin, was summoned for being drunk in Castle-street on Whit- Sundav, at 10 p.m. Police-Sergt. Parry, who proved the case, said defendant was very drunk. Defendant told the magistrates that he had come to Caergwrle to "pass an hour." He had a drink, and as he had been ill it soon got over him. The Bench imposed a fine of 2s. 6d. and costs.

1%-THE KAISER'S POSES.
1% THE KAISER'S POSES. Herr Adolf Baumann, who is the recog- nised Court photographer to the Emperor and Empress of Germany, the King and Queen of Italy, the King and Queen of Spain, the Czar and Czarina of Bulgaria, and the King of Servia, discusses some of his royal clients in the "Strand Magazine." I believe (he writes) that the King of Spain smokes the biggest cigars made in the world. When he came to my studio in Munich, in 1908, to have his, photo- graph taken, he drew from his pocket a cigar which measured about 14in. in length, and which, at the middle, must have been about Ilin. to 2in. thick. King Alfonso's mouth is small, and the end of the cigar stretched his mouth consider- ably. He puffed away with inordinate enjoyment as he went prancing about the studio, looking at photographs of various Royal relatives on the wall. Which 01 the Royal ladies of Europe is the most beautiful, from the artist's stand- point? Of those whom he has pictured Herr Baumann awaras the palm to the Infanta Eulalia. of Spain, whilst to Queen Helena of Italy he ascribes the distinction of being "by far the best-dres6ed Queen in the world, the most chic, the most impec- cably fashionable." Admirers of the Kaiser will not be surprised to learn that it is he who most impressed the photographer, who writes:— Looming out above all monarchs and personalities, the Kaiser stands distinct. While my impressions of many of my Royal clients have faded, not one detail of my interviews with Kaiser Wilhelm has left me. The Kaiser is original, a domi- nant personality, who thinks for himself and directs others. He even directs his own poses before the camera, not even permitting any suggestions from the photographer. "He is always war-lord and ruler.

Buckley Urban District Council.
Buckley Urban District Council. Subscription to the National Library of Wales. The monthly meeting of the Buckley Ur- ban District Council was held on Tuesday evening, Mr. W. Rowlands presiding. MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT. L At a meeting of the Health Committee the report of the Medical Officer (Dr. Fraser) for the month of April was pre- sented. There were four deaths—three males and one female. Births numbered 11, .seven being males and four females. There was one notification of infectious disease, this being a case of scarlet fever. REFUSE DESTRUCTION. It was resolved at a meeting of the Health Committee to appoint a sub-com- mittee to consider the question of refuse destruction and report. This recommendation was adopted. TAR-SPRAYING. The Surveyor reported that he had seen the County Surveyor with reference to tar- spraying. The area to be tar-sprayed was the main road, and any portions at Alltami which could be done. LOAN FOR SEWERAGE SCHEME. The Clerk (Mr. John Griffiths) read a communication from the Public Loan Com- missioners, stating with reference to the Council's application for a loan of £ 11,900 for the sewerage scheme, that they had re- solved to sanction a loan not exceeding that amount. SPEED LIMIT. The Surveyor produced plans of roads on which it was thought desirable that a speed limit be imposed. SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NATIONAL LIBRARY. The Clerk stated that at a committee meeting consideration was given to a letter from the president of the National Library of Wales, pointing out that many local authorities throughout Walts had sub- scribed to that object, and asking whether the Council would subscribe. The sub- scriptions which had been received varied from £ 5,000 to three guineas. The com- mittee, in a fit of patriotic fervour, decid- ed that no action be taken in the matter. Mr. Ithell Roberts moved an amendment that the Council make a subscription to the National Library. Several local authori- ties had done so, and he would not like to think that Buckley was behind in patronis- ing such an elevating object. He did not think it would be compatible with the ideas of the neighbourhood if the Council over- looked it. He moved that they make a sub- scription of two guineas. Mr. Edward Roberts seconded. Mr. Collins remarked that he would like to know what special advantage Buckley would derive from the Library. Mr. Jas. Lamb mentioned that a good number of young people from Buckley went to the colleges at Aberystwyth and Bangor, and the Library would be beneficial to them. Mr. Levi Thomas urged that if any sub- scription were to be made, it should be three guineas. They ought not to be below the lowest subscription mentioned in the list accompanying the letter. Mr. Ithell Roberts said he agreed to that suggestion. The amendment was carried, and it as resolved to send a subscription of three guineas.

Motor Notes. I THE NEW MICHELIN GUIDE FOR 1914 When you take up your copy of the new Michcliu Guide, now being issued for 1914, vou will realise in a few minutes that here is a striking example of excellence made more excellent. The first facts revealed by a cursory glance through the book are that there are 36 more pages and some fifty or sixty additional town plans. To be exact there are fifty new plans. But, turning the leaves with greater care, you will observe at once that careful revi- sion has been devoted to the 748 pages con- tained, and that, in the geographical sec- tion, a complete series of references to the Michelin Map of the British Isles, of which several of the 32 sections have already been published, gives the tourist just that con- necting link between publications which binds them into the most informative and most readily accessible encyclopaedia ever placed before the motoring and motor cycl- ing public of Great Britain. There is lite- rally nothing omitted which can be of use to the traveller or of interest to the sports- man. ¡ The Guide now conains no le66 than 330 town plans with all principal streets and exits plainly marked together with the positions of the hotels recommended,—of which the guide mentions 2,500,-StockilSt6' premises, public buildings, etc. Full de- tails of hotel accommodation and prices, for car and occupants, are given in the town descriptions which also contain a wealth of local information on repairers, car agencies, garages which are open all night and on Sundays, with a special mention of those which supply benzole. There are also 51 separate detailed ex- cursions of interest from various towns and a complete sectional atlas of the British Isles. All important towns without exception are connected up by beautifully complete itineraries, and the roads to the smaller towns are also finely described, the turn- ings, gradients, quality of road surface, dangerous hills, and places of interest being dealt with, with that minute accuracy for which this Michelin work has become so famous. Take golf links, for instance not only is the fact announced that there are links in the neighbourhood, but the direc- tion in which they lie from the town is given, together with the number of holes they possess, and, if you look at the Miche- lin Map you will find them marked out in admirable detail. England's toll-gates being a distinct fea- ture, a complete list of them "is given to- gether with their fees; and all the ferries have also been listed Coming down to the sea-port towns the reader will find a further fund of informa- tion in the full details given of steamship and railway communication time-tables, fares, freightage! rates, etc., and for him who has decided to take his car abroad there is a chapter on the Customs formali- ties, rates, etc., of foreign countries, their rules of the road and other distinctive fea- tures of travel that can only be of the greatest help. And the page on foreign coinage equivalents will be found by no means the least useful. "The Law on Motoring" again is a chap- ter dealing with licences, registration and identification plates and other administra- tive formalities and conditions, which must be complied with while points on legal pro- cedure, action in cases of accident, speed limits, and so forth are also included. This excellent publication is to be obtain- ed free of charge from any Michelin Stock- ist or post-free for Is. 3d. from Michelin Tyre Co.. Ltd., 81, Fulliam Road, London, S.W., and in view of the fact that it is naturally in tremendous demand, I strongly advise every reader of the foregoing notes to write to his local Stockist, or, if he has not got one, to send his modest one and threepence to the Michelin Tyre Company not to-morrow morning but to-day—now— this very moment—and so avoid disappoint- ment. BIBEXDUM.
