Llanrwst Urban District Council. Parry Street Taken Over. Seeking Mr Carnegie's Assistance. THE monthly meeting of this Council was held at the Union Workhouse, Llanrwst, on Friday even.ng. There were present: Mr W. J. Wil- liams, J.P. (chairman), Messrs William Hughes, T. R. Jones, E. Miills, J. Jenkins, Evan Evans, J. Rhydwen Jones, J. E. Humphreys, T. Marriott, J.P., C. T. Allard, with the Clerk (Mr Hugh Pierce), and other officials. Tenders for Macadam. The sub-committee appointed to open tenderis for supply of 250 tons of macadam for use on the roads in the district, recommended that the tender of Messrs Brundreth and Co. to supply 220 tons o,f two-inch macadam, at 7s id per ton, and 30 tons of I; -inch macadam at 7s1 4d per ton, delivered at Llanrwst Station, be accepted. This waft adopted. The tender of Mr Evan Hughes for carting the stones from the railway station at gd per ton was also accepted. Parry Street Taken Over. In accordance with notice of motion, Mr J. E. Humphreys moved that the Council take over Parry-street, Llanrwst. Ine speaker observed that the road had already been welil-dra.ned, and was in an excellent state of repair, while it was principally devoted to the use of the rate- payers generally. Mr T. R. Jones seconded. Mr John Jenkins called attention to the fact that the road was not channelled, and for that reason he'moved as an amendment that the road be not taken over. As there was no seconder, the amendment fell through, and the motion was carried. Seeking Mr Carnegie's Assistance. Mr Humphreys then moved that an applica- tion be made to Mr Andrew Carnegie for assist- ance to estabLs'h a public library. He brought that matter forward, because some months ago he wrote Mr Carnegie pointing out that Llanrwst wcij; a centre for 14 miles of country, and asked for his assistance in providing1 a suitable library for Llanrwst. No reply cams* uiculgfti he (the speaker) forwarded letters to both Mr Carnegle:s American and English addresses. After making enquiries, he afterwards found out that it was the habit of applicants to' secure the support of the local authority or bench of magistrates, and it was for that reason that he brought the matter before the Council. Mr William Hughes seconded. Mr Marriott asked whether the imposition of a penny-rate was not one of the conditions under which Mr Carnegie rendered! assistance. Mr Humphreys' said that was: the case in some instances, but there were exceptions where the rule was, not enforced. On the su!g;g,estic;n of Mr T. E.Jones,the matter was eventually referred to a sub-committee con- sisting of the Chairman, Mr Humphreys, and Mr J. Rhydwen Jones. New Wall in Station Road. The County Council wrote giving permission for the ,erection -of the proposed wall in Station- roadi at a cost of £16 10s. Street Improvements. The Surveyor submitted the following state- ment of the cast of works, to be included in a comprehensive scheme for street improvements —Station-road, Z250; Crown to King's Head, £ 10 6s; Bridge-street to Rectory, 627 6s; Conway-terrace, £40 10s; Watling-street (east and west side), ^.93 4s; Bridige-street (east to west), £ 71 Plough-street, ZS 8s; Narrow-street, £5° 16s; Scotland-street, £ 124. 4s; George- z!1 street, -f 138 4s—making a total of ^813 18s. Mr T. R. Jonefi proposed that the Council apply for a -loan of £ ^000 to go on with the work. He did not see why the present genera- tion should bear the whole cost, while the future would, receive the same benefits. Mr Evan Evans seconded. The Chairman then read a circular ietter from the County Council a,sking the urban authority to forward, a year beforehand, an estimate of the expenses which the Council would incur during the year in regard ,to main roads. Mr Humphreys observed that that matter only referred to main roads, while the surveyor's re- port referred to other roads as well. The Clerk suggested deferring the matter until information came to hand in regard to the de- cision of the county authority in reference to the footpath in Station-road. Then, they could in- clude all expenses for main roads, and. footpaths. Cost of Main Roads. Mr Humphreys observed that when the Coun- cil applied for their allowance from the County Council towards the maintenance of main roads the -surveyor of the latter authority estimated the cost to be Z60 per mile. It had been found afterwards that the roads were in such a bad state of repair, because that sum was not suffi- cient to keep them in good condition. At that time the whole thing was only an experiment in order to ascertain the lowest price at which the roads couILd he kept. All they could get from the County Council was Z60 per mile, and that sum they accepted. He for one, after the first twelve months of the experiment had elapsed, wanted an increase from, the County Council, but everybody said he need not waste his, breath over the matter, as the county authority would not alter that aillowance until after two or three years' experience of the experiment. That was the reason why they as local members had been quiescent. This year, however, they were in a position to get the same sum, a<s; Colwyn Bay got last year. Their traffic was enormous, and they were entitled to a far bigger allowance than £ 60. He could assure them that at the first opportu- nity the County Council would have before them a strong case. (Hear, hear.) Mr William Hughes then moved; that an ap- plication be made to the County Council for the full amount the, Council had paid for maintain- ing the main roads in the district during; last year. They were very much under-paid. Mr Evan Evans seconded, and said, other places were treated with justice, and he did not .see why Llanrwst should not be dealt with in the, same way. The motion was carried unanimously. It was then decided that the Council should consider in committee what steps should be taken wi'th regard to the proposed loan. Payment of Rates. Mr E. M. Jones (rate collector) reported that Mr Rogers Jones refused to pay the 4s charged on the general district rate account. The Chairman said he understood1 Mr Rogers Jonens objected, to the same thing last year, and it was allowed. The Collector observed that the circumstances were different this year. Mr Humphreys proposed that, until the Assessment Committee reduce the rateable value, Mr Rogers Jones be forced to meet the demand. They as a Council had nothing to do with the assessment; they had to collect the rates as assessed by the committee. Mr J. Jenkins seconded, and this was agreed to. The Market and Fairs Act. PROPOSED APPOINTMENT JOF INSPECTOR. Arising from a circular letter from the County Council in regard to provisions against offences under the Market and Fairs Act, Mr Humphreys asked whether Inspector Jarvis was an inspector under the Act to safeguard the public in regard to proper we'ight as well as quality of produce. No definite reply forthcoming, Mr Humpnreys proposed that proper steps be taken to get an official to carry out the duties of inspector periodically. MrIarridtt seconded, and it was carried. On t'he suggestion of Mr Ailard, it was further decided that the appointment of an official be one of the items put on the agenda for the next meeting. A Tender. The tender of Mr John Roberts was accepted for road scrapings at the rate of gd per load. _u-

St. Asaph Board of Guardians. War Office and the Insane Soldier. Mrs Brodrick's Gift. MR LLEWELYN JOXES, C.C., presided over the fortnightly meeting of this Board on Friday last. There was a fair attendance of members. The chief item in the report was the record of a vis't to the Houc-e by Lady Florentia Hvighss, of Kinmel Park, who brought with her 68 enam- elled Jubilee cups, the gift of tiie Hon. Mrs Brodrick, Coed Coch, for ,le use of the in- mates. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mrs Brodrick for her gift. A General Complaint. The Master wsasked if he could, account for so many tramps being relieved at the house. Did he give them enough, work to do? The Master replied that every mau had1 to break a certain quantity of stones and do la- bouring work. The same complaint was general all over the country, and it wais in consequence of the large number of men out of work. The Chairman They don't come here in pre- ference to other unions? The Master: Not at all; they have peEty to do. I believe they are complain nig at Holy- well and other places. Oldest Member Meets with an Accident. On the motion of the Chairman, a vote of sympathy was passed. with Mr Thomas Lloyd, Berthewig, who has met with art accident. He was thrown off his horse. Much sympathy is expressed with Mr Lloyd, who is the oldest member of the Board. Wife Complains of her Husband. Elizabeth Roberts, wife of NVm. Roberts, Castle, Denbigh, ,appeared before tne members with a child in her arms, to complain against the trea,tment she was snbjectedl to at the hands of her husband. She had left her house, and entered thel workhouse. As the Guardians could not proceed against the husband unless the wife was an inmate of tihe house, it was decided to offer the woman the house. New 11 Alenu 11 for the Inmates. WILL AFFECT THE GUARDIANS' POCKETS. The new dietary table prepared by the Master according to the new regulations of the Local Government Board was produced. Mr Pierce proposed that the amended table be .approved. He be-lieved the master was the greatest authority in the room, and they could not do better than adopt his recommendations. Miss Bennett seconded the motion, which was adopted. The Master sa.idt he would have been glad o have left well alone. The inmates 1 ked the o'.d dietary table well enough but, of course, they were subjected to pressure from the superior Board, and had to comply. The Chairman It will not be worse than the old one, wilil it? The Master: No, sir; it wiM be an improve- ment. The Chairman: Well, gentlemen, if you want to test the new dietary table you had better be come inmates for a few weeks. (Laughter.) (To the Master) Will it affect the lunch of the Guardians? The Master: It will affect their pockets. (Laughter.) The Gambling Evil. On the motion of Mr Robert Davies, seconded by Mr Pierce, the Guardiams adopted a resolu- tion in favour of legislation, to put down bet- tinig. The Chairman humorously remarked that he hoped the habit was not prevalent amongst the Guardians. Sanction to Erect a New Infirmary. A letter was read from the Local Government Board, directing the Guardians to proceed with the erection of an infirmary, and sanctioning the borrowing of a. loan, of £5,700 for the purpose for a period not exceeding 30 yeans. The Clerk said he had advertised for tenders. Several letters were received, offering the sum required by the Guardians at rates of from £3 per cent. to £3 17s 6d. It wajs agreed, on the motion of Mr Gwilym Parry, to refer the consideration of the applica- tion and the ,entire question of negotiabnlgl the loan, to the Finance Committee. M'r J. Pierce' also suggested that members of the Visitlinig Committee not already on the Fi- nance Committee, should be added for this pur- poise alonie. This was agreed to. Smallpox Again. A letter -was read from the Local Government Board, suggesting the vaccination and re-vacci- nation of vagrants. The Chairman, amid (laughter, said there was enough talk and circulars about smallpox to give it to them. Extraordinary Conduct of the War Office. THE WOUNDED SOLDIER AND HIS FAMILY. Another discussion took place on the pathetic case of Harry Malings, the Royal Welsh Fusil- ier Reservist, who is now an inmate of the Den- biJgh Asylum, he having developed sligns of in- sanity in consequence of injuries he received at Liady smith. The Guardians are maintaining Mailinigjs at the expense of tne ratepayers, an appeal to the War Office for assistance having proved futile, the nature of the reply being to the effect that the Guardians, if necessary,.would be able to reimburse themselves from the man's pension of is per'day. As, however, this was all the poor wife and her children had to sup- port them, apart from private charity,the Guard- iianp naturally refused to accept such aid, and allowed Mrs Malings to have the money. The "callows" conduct of the War Office found its way into the' London newspapers, and on Friday a London gentleman, named Horace- Rose, of Fore-street, London, wrote, saying' he had seen the statement in the papers, and was anxious to raise a fund in aid of the wounded soldier and his wife. He was going to, Lady- smith shortly, and, with the aid of two South African newspapers, intended to issue an ap- peal and asked the Guardians whether they •would, consent to any s'um being handed over to the woman without any deductions bein:t made for her husband's maintenance in the asy- lum. The Chairman, said he was sure the Guard- ians would not ask for any of the money that might be collected. Mr Rice Williams said, they ishou-ld be very -careful how they encouraged this sort of thing. These funds were abused sometimes, and they had no evidence as to the bona-fides of the gen- tleman in question. The Chairman did not encourage this view of the matter, and said there was no harm in send- ing Mrs Malings' address Mr Rase. Mr Pierce said he understood that the wife had not received a penny of her husband's pen- sion fiince last November. If so, it was very unfair. The Clerk said it looked as if it was true, because' the- War Office offered to deduct the last quarter's asylum maintenance out of h s pension. It was stated- that Captain Flower, of the Wrexham Depot, had sent Mrs Malings a postal order for ios to defray her expenses from Southport to Denbigih to .see her husband. In a letter to Mrs Malings, dated November 12, the War Office informed her that a sum of 2 12s had been deducted, from her husband's pension. Mr Hughes (Denbigh) said it wiai-, pretty clear that the woman had received nothing at all. Mr Joseph Jones The woman may be starv- ing before the War Office does anything for her. Mr Frimvston:: We had better write to the War Office, sayinjgi that neither we or Mrs Malings received any money. The Chairman pointed out that they had no official intimation of that fact. There was a danger that the War Offie might keep the money from Mrs Malings under the impression that the Board wantedi it for her husband's maintenance. He, therefore, suggested that the clerk point out to the anthorities the desirability of sending the money to Mrs Malings as soon as. possible, as1 the Guardians did not want it.. Mr Rice Williams said there was a great num- ber of these cases- all over the country, and iit did not reflect very favourably on War Office management. If one of his men, hurt himself on his farm, the Government would make him, keep him, but here was one of their own men disabled), and they wouldn't help- aim, or h's family. The Chairman's suggestion was adopted. A Case for Inquiry. The Chairman read a letter from a man named Evan Jones, of 88, Mill-bank, Rhyl, complaining that John Williams, a shoemaker, Greenland House Cwm, wa<s receiving 5s a week from, the par s'h when he was in receipt of money from other sources. He had proof that „e received £ 13 during Christmas week. His brother LEas WilliamfS had also pounds belonging to him, and a man named John Williams told him that he weighed; s'xty pounds on the scales for him. The relieving officer (Mr Davies) was. calls(3. in, and, in answer to quest.ionis, said lie relieved Williams because '11e, was destitute. He had been. in rece'pt of relief for about five years. He was in a feeble state of health, and couldn't do much work. Mr Fri.mfston: He cannot save much out of what he gets from us. It was decided that the clerk should look into the matter.

Had Anaemia from 18 to 26. So Weak She She Could Not Walk. Bile Beans Restored her to Perfect Health. THAT period when girlhood gives place to womanhood is fraught with danger; and mothers cannot guard too carefully the health of their daughters, at this time, when Anaemia either seriously weakens, or fatally attacks over 50 per cent. of girls. As a cure for this insidi- ous disease Chas. Forde's Bile Beans are un- equalled. Miss Annie Rogers, of the Queen's Head, Beaconsfield (Berks), says :i,ht years ago, when I was eighteen years old, I-was in service, and overwork at this important period of my life brought on anaemia. I be- came weak, and was often so dazed that I hard- ly knew what I was doing, my face was pale, I was out of breath with the least effort, and I could not eat nourishing food to get up my strength. So reduced did I become that I was actually too weak to walk to the doctor's sur- gery! -Of course, I could not keep my situa- tion, and for a long time I was unable to do any work whatever. Frequently I would go so dizzy that I could hardly stand. At night my sleep was fitful and unrefreshing, and I would awaken as tired and worn out as when I re- tired. So I went on through eight long years "I am now well and hearty, and I owe my recovery solely to C'has. Forde's Bile Beans. A few months ago I was induced to try them, and with every box I have improved until I am now quite cured. I firmly believe I owe my life to them, and you have my permission to publish my case as a guide to other sufferers." It is cures of this kind, effected when all 'else 'failed, that 'have made Bile Beans world-famed. For anaemia, biliousness, indigestion, liver and kidney troubles, rheumatism, headache, debil- ity, and all female ailments,they are unequalled. For colds and chills, and as a preventive of rheumatism, they are also most useful. Ob- tainable from all chemists at is I.Yz d or 2s 9d per box, or post free from the Bile Bean Manu- facturing Co., Red Cross-street, London, L.C., on receipt of prices.
