ST. ASAPH. ST. ASAPH (FLINT) RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. The Inspector's Report I Criticised. The Council Indignant. At the monthly meeting of the St Asaph (Flint) Rural District Council held on Friday, the principal business was the consideration of a letter from the Local Government Board enclosing copy of the report of the Board's Inspector (Dr Fletcher) on the sanitary circumstances and administration of the district, and asking to be informed of the steps pro- posed to be taken to carry iato effect the recommendations contained therein. The members of the Council present were :—Mr Edward Williams (chairman), Miss Owen Jones, Messrs R E Griffiths, Edwin Morgau, George Williams, J Jones, Waen W S Roberts, Ll B Evans, W Morris, J Francis Jones, and Conwy Bell, with the clerk (Mr Grimsley), and the medical officer of health (Dr Lloyd Roberts). It will be remcmbeted that this report, which created a considerable stir in the district, has already been published in extenso, and is chiefly remarkable for the fact that Dr Fletcher upholds the position taken by Dr Lloyd Roberts, the medical officer of health for the district. The Chairman said that as regarded Dyserth he would like the matter in regard to that parish gone into fully to see what could be done. With reference to Towyn and Meliden the Clerk called attention to that part of the report where it was said that a sewage scheme for Meliden and Towyn would cost ten thousand pounds, and as the rateable value of the district was only fi3,200, it would appear that such a scheme was out of the question. The Clerk added that he had been told that it was hot possible to deal with the sewage from To wyn to Prestatyn because there. was not enough fall. The Chairman elicited that a builder had told the Inspector that the cost of a sewage scheme for Meliden would be ten thousand pounds, and he remarked that it was not a matter for a builder so much as an engineer. He would like to know how that figure had been arrived at. He objected to such vague statements being put in a report of that important character, and considered that only matters of which the Inspector was quite sure of should have been inserted. The Clerk then read the recommenda- tion that the Council should increase the Medical Officer's salary, and that an isolation hospital should be provided. Mr Conwy Bell said he had referred back to pievious reports made by the Local Government Board Inspectors, and it ap- peared to him that Dr Fletcher had had these reports before him and those of the local Medical Officer ot Health and had founded his report upon them. There was a certain amoant of freemasoniy amongst the medical pro- fession, and naturally they would not give each other away. Personally he expected the report would have been blacker than it was owing to the strong attitude he had taken towards the Doctor. The report was not so bad considering the Medical Officer had gone behind their backs writ- ing to the Local Government Board. With reference to the suggestion that Bodfari might be able to get a water supply from the Birkenhead supply, that showed that that had been taken from another report, for it was known by those in the district that the Birkenhead supply would go nowhere near Bodfari. As regarded the salary of Dr Lloyd Roberts, if he did not chose to live in St Asapb, and his travelling expenses were heavy, that was his own look out. He (Mr Bell| endorsed what the Chairman of the St Asaph (Denbigh) Council had said on this matter. Moreover, he did not think that the, Council had been given due credit for all they had done. At Rhuddlan, for instance, they had spent hundreds of pounds on im- provements indeed thousands of pounds had been spent there in the last ten years. Credit should have been given for this in < the report, instead of blackballing, black- mailing and holding them up all the time. They should try and pull together, and it would be better if a little encouragement were given to them. They could work very well together if the Doctor would only do so. Mr Edwin Morgan said there were many things in the report which he did not understand, and he strongly objected to saraastic remarks in the report which did not convey any meaning. For instance, the Inspector had commented upon some healthy frogs being seen in the water at Tre- meirchion, but did not say whether they were detrimental to the water or not. He did not think that they were. But some of the people at Tremeirchion were getting rather nervous on the matter. Dr Lloyd Roberts said the Inspector's point with regard to the water at Tre- meirchion was that water was drained off manured land. Mr William Morris asserted that the Council did not want the Doctor to re- write his report but only to insert some- thing to give them credit for what they had done. They were fully aware that the Medical Officer should bite Lis attention to the matters in question, for that was what he was appointed for, but he should have given them credit for what they had done. Although the report was a bad one, he thought that it could have been worse. Mr George Williams said that of course Meliden was not going to allow a portion of Towyn to go to Prestatyn. Mr Conwy Bell a k d if Meliden had tIe right of sending its sewage into the Pres- tatyn sewers, seeing that Meliden had contributed to the cost of that scheme prior to Prestatyn being an urban district.' The Clerk said that off hand he did not think, that Meliden could claim such rights. Mr Conwy Bell pointed out that the Inspector had only visited seven farms in the district. He asked if he had only been taken to the dirty farm yards. The Clerk replied that he was with the Inspector for two days. Some of the farms they went to were very well kept in his opinion. It was not true to say that they only spent ten minutes at Dyeerth. A great deal more time was spent than that. Mr Conwy Bell said that St Asaph appeared to be the dirtiest place (laughter). The Chairman aaked, if the Doctor really thought so, why bad he spent three weeks holiday at St Asaph ? Mr Lothian said that there was nothing wrong with the sanitation at St Asaph nor with Rhuddlan. The Chairman said he put very littla value on the report. Mr Conwy Bell said that in 1882 Dr Parsons gave the city a clean bill of health, and said the place was all right. Yet despite the fact that so much money bad been spent since, Dr Fletcher took a different view. Dr Lloyd Roberts said St Asaph wanted a public scavenging scheme. Mr Lothian Who wants it ? Dr Lloyd Roberts The town. Mr Lothian But who wants it ? Dr Lloyd Roberts I cannot name any individual, bus the town wants such a thing. Mr Conwv Bell asked who wanted it at Rhuddlan ?- Mr W S Roberts wanted to know where the cowsheds complained of at Bodfari were ? He had been all round the district, but could not find any sheds in a dirty condition. The Sanitary Surveyor mentioned the farm, whereupon Mr Roberts denied that they were not all right. These sheds were paved and built on the latest principles. Mr Conwy Bell said that both medical gentlemen were seeking trouble, which was very easy to find. They had practically ignored the good farmhouses. It was decided to inform the Local ,Government Board that while the Council did not agree with the report, they would defer it for further consideration. Mr Conwy Bell said it was not a fair report of what was going on. The Chairman said he cculd have written as good a report himself. He thought the opinion of members of the whole Council far outweighed that of the two Doctors.

St Asaph Board of Guardians FRIDAY.—Present: Mr Edwin Morgan (in the chair), Mr Frimston (vice-chair- man), Mrs Robert Jones, Mrs Howell Gee, Miss Owen Jones, Rev C F Roberts, Messrs S Perks, Wm Jones, J Ellis Jones, John Roberts, William Williams, W S Roberts, Hugh Edwards, William Morris, Isaac Batho, J R Ellis, Edward Williams, Ll B Evans, J Francis Jones, Thomas Evans, George Williams, R E Griffiths with the Clerk (Mr Grimsley) and other officials. I INCREASE OF VAGRANCY. The Master (Mr Robert Jones) reported that the number of inmates in the house that day was 146 as against 136, an in- ciease of ten as compared with the same day last year 221 vagrants were relieved, which showed an increase of 75 on the cor- responding period laet year. The Master said that from what he was told there was likely to be a decrease in the number of vagrants relieved. It was strange there was an increase of vagrancy throughout the country. CALLS IN ARREAR. The Clerk reported the following places in arrear of their calls :—Llanfairtalhaiarn L99, Bettws X55, Bodfari £28, RbylZ28, and Waen X22. SATISFACTORY INSPECTOR'S REPORTS. VISITING COMMITTEE'S itECOMMENDATIONS. Mr Isaac Batho, the chairman of the Visiting Committee, reported that they had had the Local Government Board's Inspector's and Lunacy Commissioners' reports under consideration. They recom- mended, on the suggestion of the Local Government Board Inspector, that the children have their meals separate from the adults in the boys' day room. It would only mean a little extra trouble, but they would be entirely separated from the adults. They had had under con- sideration the Local Government Board Inspector's report, which they thought was very satisfactory, and it stated that the Inspector was pleased to see the general cleanliness and comfort of the inmates. The Commissioners in Lunacy also re- ported that the Workhouse was in good order, and he was very much impressed with the Infirmary ward. The committee recommended that a communication bell be fixed between the tramp ward and the porter's room. Mr Perks said he was glad to under- stand that the children were to be kept separate from the adults, as there was every possibility they might learn some- thing from the adults which would be detrimental to their future welfare. The recommendation of the Visiting Committee was adopted. OBJECTION TO STRANGERS. Mr Batho further reported that the Visiting Committee had considered the case of an inmate who threatened the Local Government Board Inspector with a missile. They found that the man was half an imbecile, and did not like strangers being present as he thought they intended doing some harm. The man had since been removed to the Asylum. STATISTICS. The Clerk reported the receipt of statistics from the Inspector showing that the average cost per head of the population in in-door and out-door relief had been reduced from 5s 6d to 4s lOd in the past five years, and the percentage of pauperism had decreased from 3-5 to 3*3.

St. Asaph Petty Sessions. MONDAY.—Before Major Birch (chair- man), Colonel Howard, Dr Davies, Mr P Roberts, and Mr R C Enyon. OCCASIONAL LICENCES. Mr Robert Roberts, of the Plough Hotel, was granted occasional licences for he cattle markets on the 10th and 24th inst. CYCLING WITHOUT A LIGHT. Robert Davies, Pencae du farm, Tref- nant, admitted cycling without a light inring prohibited hours on August lcfth, and, P.C. Hughes having stated the facts, rhe Bench imposed a penalty of 2s 6d and, 93 costs. A DRUNKEN MOTHER. Mary O'Brien, Jones'-square, St Asaph, admitted having been drunk in charge of a child in Denbigh road on August 13th. P.C. Hughes proved finding the defen- dant drunk near the Cathedral at 10.40 p.m. with a child in her arms. She ad- mitted that she was drunk, and he took ner home, but, as her husband declined to let her in, he was obliged to lock her up. In reply to the Bench, witness added that the defendant had an empty pint bottle as well as a broken bottle her husband was out of work. The Chairman said that it was one of the most disgraceful cases they had ever had to deal with-that a mother should be found drunk with her child in her arms. She must pay 2s 6d and 6s costs. A PUBLICAN'S MISTAKE. George Jamieson, now of the Alexandra Hotel, Rhyl, was summoned for having, on JulySOth, unlawfully served a drunken man with beer at the Bryndinas Hotel. Sergt Connah stated that on July 30th be saw Hughes in charge of a man named Murray, ani later he asked the manager of the Bryndinas Hotel why he had served him. The manager denied baying done so, but his wife admitted it, adding that she did not consider that the man was drunk. By Mr Lloyd (who appeared for the defence) The manager's wife did not say that the man was sober. Mr Jamieson knew nothing about the case, and the house had always been respectably con- ducted. He had had no cases against the present tenant. P.C. Hughes corroborated, adding that the man was very drunk. By Mr Lloyd He was not present when the man came with the lurry other- wise he would have prevented his being served. John Hughes (out of whose convic'ion for drunkenness at a previous court the present proceedings arose) stated that he was served at the Bryndinas, but the land- lady said nothing to him. Mr Lloyd contended that no more serious charge could be brought against a licensee. On taking up an important license in Rhyl his client had to appoint a manager, who took the profits, his client deriving no benefit. By a conviction in such circum- stances his client's clean record would be blotted, and it might prejudice him in uture, as the Rhyl magistrates would kLOW nothing beyond the bare fact of the conviction at St Asaph. It was also a serious thing for the man in charge. Mary Griffith". the wife of the licensee, gave evidence as to serving Hughes, whom she considered perfectly sober. The Chairman said that the Bench, while considering that a technical offence had been committed, desired to express their sympathy with Mr Jamieson, and their hope that the Rhyl magistrates would not allow it to prejudice them. He would be fined Is and 16s costs. They hoped that it would be a warning to Mr and Mrs Griffiths, as the Bench would ba obliged, to bear it in mind in any future case against them. The Bryndinas had always, been well conducted, and they did not wish its record to be spoiled. WILL YE NO COME BACK AGAIN? James O'Brien, summoned by Sergeant Connah for using offensive language on August 29th, did not appear. The Sergeant stated that he had been seen leaving the city that morning, and the Bench issued a warrant for his arrest.

GOLF. The Rhyl Cup. This cup was played for on Tuesday in dull weather and under fine conditions for good golf, the wind having disappeared just before the start. The first card returned was that by Miss Lloyd Roberts (plus 2), whose game was the finest of the morning. She went out with 41 and finished in 88, leaving her one hole down. She played a little unsteadily in the last eight holes. Miss Duncan and Mrs Ellis Griffith (the wife of the member for Anglesey), tied for first prize. Miss Duncan played a fine game, as her handicap indicates. To go round equal to bogey is a considerable feat. Mrs Ellis Griffith also played finely up to the fifteenth hole, where she stood 4 up, but the sixteenth and seventeenth, being long holes, proved disastrous. Hitting a long low ball in the last, it was bunkered, and in attempting to play her second stroke high she got under the ball too much, and it only went a few yards. It took four stokes to reach the green, and she holed out in six. In playing off the tie Miss Duncan returned a card alt square, while Mrs Ellis Griffith was six down. The Rhyl Cap was accordingly won for the second time by Miss Duncan. To beoome the property of a player it must be won three times in succession, or five times in all. The chief ruturni, were:— Miss Duncan (holder) (1), 2 up; Mrs Ellis Jones Griffith (10), 2 up; Miss Lloyd Roberts (owes 2), 1 down Miss Allington Hughes (3), 3 down; Miss SmaUey (3), 3 down; Mrs Storey (4), 4 down Miss Clay (6), 5 down; Mrs Wood (Palo) (18), 5 down; Miss Kathleen Hall (10), 6 down Miss L G Peers (11), 6 down; Miss Mesham (11), 6 down; Miss Brooke (5), 6 down; Miss Lloyd Williams (4), 7 down; Miss M Jenkins (17), 8 down; Mrs Vincent- Johnson (9), 11 down. Miss Orbora (8), 12 I down.

ABERGELE. LOCAL PRIZE WINNERS.—On Saturday last, the annual sports were held at Minydon Park, Old Oolwyn, when Mr E H Williams, won the first prize in the 120 yards handicap and the long jump, and Mr W E Owens got third in the pole jump, while Mr C Davies won the third prize in the one mile bicycle handicap.

Abergele Police Court. MAJOR, MAGISTRATE AND MOTORIST. The Abergele magistrates on Saturday were equally divided in a case in which a I motorist was summoned for driving at a I reckless pace on the outskirts of the town, and the case was adjourned to the next sessions on the first Saturday in October. The defendant was Mr William Taylor, a major in the Yeomanry and a magistrate for Shropshire and Radnorshire. He resides at The Woodlands, Herefordshire. Mr James Amphlett defended. Inspector Tippett said he noticed a car raising a cloud of dust while passing along the highway skirting the grounds of Gwyrch Castle on July 25th. As soon as the car rounded the corner by the Castle gates, and came on towards the town, Mr Cuffin, a veterinary surgeon, who was with J witness, timed it. The car covered the distance from the corner to where witness was standing in 20 seconds, and as the distance was 348 yards the speed worked out at 35 miles an hour. Defendant slowed down after passing witness. Children were leaving school at the time and he considered the speed at which the car was travelling altogether excessive. In reply to Mr Amphlett witness said the car slowed down before reaching the school, and witness did not notice that anyone was on the stretch of road which he afterwards measured. Mr Cuffin said in his opinion the car was travelling altogether too fast. He timed it with an ordinary silver watch, looking at the minute band. Defendant said he was an experienced driver, and held certificates in this country and France. He had been fined 10s and costs for travelling at 21 miles an hour through a police trap at High Wycombe. It was a straight stretch, a road free from traffic at the time. Beyond that he had never been charged. He could not re- member the circumstances under which the present charge was made, but he was positive that on no part of the road did he travel at anything like the pace alleged. His car was a Vulcan lOh.p., and the beist that make of car had ever done was 38 miles an hour on a track. He was most careful in driving, and invariably reduced his speed to a walking pace when nearing children. Mr Amphlett complained of the vague- ness of the particulars, and of the fact that defendant did not learn he was to be charged until some days later. After a consultation in private, the Chairman announced that the Bench eould not agree, being equally divided, anct adjourned the case. DRINK OR RHEUMATISM ? The Bench were occupied for several hours in investigating a charge against David Wynne, a labourer, of Gofer Farm, Abergele, for being drunk on licensed premises. The evidence was of a most contra- dictory character. Two constables swore that they saw the man leave the Kiomel Arms shortly after ten o'clock, that he staggered and fell down in the porch, was afterwards found leaning against a walL, was followed for a mile by the officers, who found him at one stage creeping along the side of a wall, that for the other mile they helped him home, and that he was so drunk that his fellow-workmen refused to have him to sleep in their room. The witnesses for the defence said the man was pefectly sober, that he had only had three glasses of beer the whole evening, that he did not stumble, and was able to walk home all right. It was true his gait was peculiar, but that was due to rheu- matism. Six witnesses swore that he was not drunk. The Bench said it was a case which the police were justified in bringing forward, but on the evidence they were not satisfied that it was proved th man was drunk. They dismissed the case. The case against the licensee, in conse- quQLce of the failure of the other, fell through, as did also a like charge of permitting drunkenness against the licensee of the Bee Hotel, which the Bench said was a matter for iavestigation. NO RELIANCE ON PUBLIC CLOCKS. The Bench dismissed a charge against the licensee of the Kinmel Arms Inn, St George, of keeping his house open after hours upon the ground that there was no reliance to be placed on clocks, the Chair- man remarking that he had had experience of the difference of clocks in the Abergele district. It was a case in which the police alleged that at ten minutes past ten they found men in the Kinmel Arms, but the licensee contended that the clock at Kinmel Hall, which was the timkeeper of the district, struck as the police entered the bouse, and one witness said that he heard the clock strike after he was outside, and was sure of that fact as he turned to his companion and said The police are getting very strict now about time it is now only ten o'clock." DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. Mr Bulkeley Wynne Yorke, of Llan saanan, was fined £ 1 and costs for being drunk and disorderly at Abergele. It was stated that defendant had had some words with a man who he accused of taking rabbits on his estate, and in a drunken condition he went on to Inspector Tippett, and wanted him to come to the man. The officer resented the way defendant behaved, whereupon be caught hold of the tail of the officer's coat. The inspector charged him with being drunk, and abusive language followed.
