The Welsh Coast Pioneer and Review for North Cambria

Rhuddlan Parish Council. THE monthly meeting of this Council was held on Monday evening, when there were present: Messrs W. Morris (chairman), John Roberts (vice-chairman), R. C. Enyon, J.P., W. Conwv Bell, R. C. Thompson, and J. Kilner (the clerk). J 1 To Fill a Vacancy. The first business was the aopointraent of a councillor to fill the vacancy' caused bv the disqualification of a member. Mr W. C. Bell proposed that Mr Owen Wil- liams, Cwyber Fawr, be elected, and said Mr Williams would be an acauisition to the Coun- cil. Mr R. C. Thompson seconded, and the pro- position was carried unanimously. Uewcni ffairy School. A letter was read, stating that the Lleweni Dairy School would shortly open for the sea- son, and that there were a number of scholar- ships open to pupils from Flintshire above the age of 14. If this Council desired to nominate any candidates for a scholarship, it was request- ed that application be made before the Á 1Sth inst. Some of the members thought it was too late to move in the matter now, but Mr Bell proposed, and Mr Enyon seconded, that the letter be handed over to the school- master and schoolmistress, as it was thought that if they had any candidates to suggest, they might yet make arrangements with the dairy authorities. The resolution was carried. University Extension Lectures. A communication was read from the Univer- sity College of Bangor, calling attention to the extension lectures arranged by the college, under the auspices of the County Council, and giving a list of the subjects and the terms upon which the lectures would be given, namely, the provision of a room and the costs of adver- tising, etc., and the guarantee that there would be at least 20 attendants. It was also explained that a small library of books on the subjects of the lectures would be sent on condition that the committee would be responsible for their safety, and would pay the carriage. The Chairman said that the matter had been under their consideration before, and he be- lieved that when their reply was sent to thi college, Professor Winter was away. Mr R. C. Thompson remarked that they had played with the matter so long that they were too late, apart from Professor Winter's ab- sence from college. They dilly-dallied with the matter for two or three meetings, and in the meantime the lectures had been arrariged. The Vice-chairman remarked that there were not so many members in favour of the lec- tures, when the matter was before the Council before. Mr Thompson agreed that there were rot many favourable, but he remembered distinctly that they were too late to be included in the arrangements for the course of lectures last winter, and they were informed that they would be advised of the next course. The communica- tion now before them, he supposed, was that advice. Mr Bell suggested that a public meeting be called to consider the subject, and so get the opinion of the parishioners. The Vice-chairman: Is it worth wlfle? Would the parishioners attend? Mr Bell replied that some of the people out- side would blame them if they did not take sotua action. Mr Thompson And quite right, too. On the motion of Mr Bell, seconded by the Vice-Chairman, it was decided to call a public meeting, the date to be fixed by the chairman and clerk. Rhyl and Prestatyn Light Railway. A notice was read of an intended application by the promoters of Rhyl and Prestatyn Light Railway for an extension of time for the con- struction from April 3rd inst. to April 3rd, 1905. Mr Enyon remarked that he had seen in the newspapers that Rhyl were opposing the appli- cation, and thought that they in Rhuddl'an should back Rhyl up. After some conversation, it was resolved, on the motion of Mr Thompson, to go on to the next business. Accounts. It was resolved to pay an account to the vicar for the use of the schoolroom for parish meet- ings in 1902 and 1903, and to Mr Slater, St Asaph, for bookbinding and printing. The Annual Meeting. At the close of the monthly meeting the annual meeting of the Parish Council was held. Appointment of Chairman. The retiring Chairman said that the first business would be to appoint a chairman for the ensuing year. Before proceeding to that busi- ness he beg'ged to thank all the councillors foi the help they had given him during the time he had occupied the chair. lIe was afraid that he had not done so well as was expected, but at the same time he desired to thank the Coun- cil for the help extended to him. Mr Conwy Bell said that it was usual before proceeding to elect a new chairman to pass a vote of thanks to the old one. He, therefore, begged to propose a vote of thanks to Mr Morris for the able way in which he had conducted the business of the Council. He was an excellent chairman, and had carried out the work in a very efficient manner. Mr Thompson, in seconding, remarked that he could see no reason to think that Mr Morris had not fulfilled their expectations. He had never thought Mr Morris was so ambitious as to expect to satisfy everybody. (Hear, hear.) If he could satisfy the half, he would be well pleased. {Renewed laughter.) He had great pleasure jnproposing the ;re-election of Mr Morris to the chair. x Mr Bell seconded, and Mr Enyon supported the proposition, which was unanimously car- ried. Mr 'Morris, in thanking the Council for the renewal of its confidence, hoped to give satis- faction, as they were good enough to say he had done in the past. Appointment of Vice-chairman. On the proposition of Mr Conwy Bell, seconded by Mr Thompson, Mr J. Roberts was re-appointed vice-chairman. Appointment of Overseers. Mr Bell proposed, and Mr Thompson second- ed, the re-appointment of Messrs Charles Jones, R. Morris (Hendre),and J. Roberts,a-- overseers, with Mr W. H. Davies, H>h-street, instead of Mr Owen Williams. The Affairs of the Lighting Committee. Mr John Roberts called attention to the fact that certain accounts were due from the Light- ino Committee, and that the exchequer was ex- hausted. He also said that a lamp post had been wilfully broken by some one or another, probably about Easter Monday. It was im- possible that the damage could have been done by a trap, or boy. It was agreed to call in outstanding sub- scriptions to the lighting fund, and call a meet- ing of the committee after the next meeting of the Parish Council. With regard to the damaged lamp-post it was decided to refer the matter to. the police. T he Same Old Game. Mr W. Conwy Bell said that he regretted to call attention to the fact that some people had again commenced to throw rubbish on'to the 1\ land opposite Ty Mawr, which at one time was the source of considerable nuisance. Mrs Conwy had gone to the expense of getting the place cleared and rendered sweet, but people had a!gain commenced to use it as a rubbish depot. He thought something ought to be done to detect the offenders. If they got one conviction, it would be sufficient. The warn- ing boards that had been put up prohibiting the j deposits of rubbish on the spot, were used by boys as targets to throw stones at. It was no use one person trying to keep the place clean and wholesome, and if the Council did not co- operate with Mrs Conwy she could not be ex- pected to do anything more. He thought the Council should do a bit a detection work. Mr John Roberts said it was a great shame that people should throw rubbish on this place, after the expense and trouble that had been taken with it. But it' would be better for the police to take the matter in hand than private individuals. If the police-constable was to watch the place between eleven and twelve at night, the would be sure to catch one of the offenders. He suggested that the constable be instructed to watch the place, and this sug- f gesticn was agreed to. +>

Denbigh Town Council. The Inefficient Water Snpply. II AT the monthly meeting of the above Council on Thursday evening, the Mayor (Councillor A. '0. Evans) presiding, it was decided to hire a number of isolation hospital tents, to be erec- ted >at the end of Privy-lane, to meet any emer- gency which may arise from an outbreak of smallpox. As the surplus land bought some years a>go for the purpose of making a smithfield; is at r, 1 present unremuneratrive, it was- decided to apply to the Local Government Board for sanc- tion to sell it, the proceeds to be devoted towards the reduction of the smithfield mort- gage. A proposal by the Mayor that the Water Company be asked whether they are prepared' to dispose of their works, and on what terms, led to, a discussion. The present source of supply 'has been condemned by the Council, acting on the report of the medical officer of health. Mr Howel Gee took strong objection to the proposal, characterising the present source of supply as inefficient and thoroughly unsatisfac- tory, and could not be ma die pure and efficient. Should it be taken over by the Council, another source would have to be provided, and a great deal spent on new works. The Mayor said he did not think it conducive to the interests of the ratepayers to discuss the matter at present. He would be no party to give more for the undertaking than it was worth. After further discussion, the Mayor's propo- sal was carried. The Council unanimously supported the pro- posals in favour of extending the jurisdiction of the County Courts from ^50 to ancl of the reduction of railway fares, notice cf which 'came from the Liverpool Chamber of Com- merce.

:—4, A National Temperance Party. Mr Herbert Roberts' Plea. MR HERBERT ROBERTS, M.P., speaking at Car- diff, dealt at some length with the position of the temperance question. Referring to the re- cent Welsh Conference at Shrewsbury and the proposal to ask the Government- for facilities for passing a short measure amending the Welsh Sunday Closing Act, he announced with regret that they had been informed that the present time was inopportune to approach the Government for facilities for such a measure. He criticised the recent utterances of Mr Bal- four and the Lord Chancellor as to the refusal of licences, and said that Mr Balfour's ex- planation of his speech had aroused, not anger, but rather grave concern that the reins of Government were in the hands of a states- } man who, however excellent in many other re- spects, was so ignorant of the realities of the situation. [T Roberts closed with a plea for the formation of a national temperance party.

+ The Development of Welsh Coast Resorts. A CONFERENCE is being convened by the Rev. Gwynoro Davies, Barmouth, chairman of the Urban District Council Mr E. R. Davies, town clerk of Pwllheli Mr W. R. Hall, Aberystwyth, and other delegates from the Cardigan Bay resorts, to con- sider the best means of promoting their general interests. Among the objects of the organisation which it is proposed to form will be the counter- acting of the efforts of the English tourist agencies, which seem to be mainly designed to send English people to places on the Continent. It is estimated that £ 4,000,000 is annually spent in this manner. An endeavour will be made to induce members of the Royal Family and the aristocracy to set a better fashion by patronising home resorts, and and to ob- tain better facilities from the railway companies, and the co-operation of English newspapers and periodicals. The movement is receiving the heartiest support all along the Welsh Coast.

f Llandudno Petty Sessions. The Adjourned Grocer's Licence Case. Good Friday Amenities. MOXDAV :—Before Mr H. Kneeshaw (in the chair), Dr Dalton, Mr Ephraim Wood, Ir J. L. Jelf Petit, Mr C. J. Wallace, Mr G. O. Jones, Mr Adey Wells, with the clerk (Mr Jas. Porter). A Groce 's Licence Granted. Mr E. W. Johnson. (Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson) again applied for the permanent transfer of the grocer's licence held by Mr W. V A. Evans, in Mostyn-street, Llandudno, to Mr T. Esmor Ilooson, grocer, also of Mostyn- street. Mr Johnson reminded their worships that the application had been adjourned from the Conway Court owing to the absence of Mr J. J. Marks, who appeared in opposition on behalf of the temperance party. He now made the application with some confidence, because he felt it was a peculiar case, though it might be that he should have to ask their worships to state a case for a higher court. Mr W. A. Evans had held the .licence for. two or three years, and in February 23rd last, the magis- trates renewed it for him. Having .regard to that latter fact, it was not right to say, as he understood his friend contended, that the licence was nor required. It must be assumed to be required, because the magistrates had already renewed it to Mr Evans. Another point was as to whether Mr Hooson was a fit and proper person to hold the licence. In re- gard to that, Mr Hooson had been in trade m Llandudno for the past 30 years, during the latter sixteen of which he had conducted, his own excellent business in Mostyn-street. 'No- thing could be said against him, and it could not in any way be suggested that he was not a fit Jtnd proper person to carry on the business properly. His friend, Mr Marks, appeared for the temperance party —— 1 Mr Marks 'With Mr W. O. Roberts. Mr Johnson: Who is the representative of the temperance party. Continuing, Mr John- I son said it was the duty of the temperance party to deal with cases of intemperance or where convictions could be shown a'gainst licensed houses. To employ Mr Marks to come there that day to say the house in ques- tion was not wanted was not right. ■Mr Marks stated that that was scarcely the ¡ argument he had put before their worships at a ¡ previous court. What he contended was that the granting of the renewal of the licence was used as a means for obtaining a fresh tenant on better terms than would be the case if there were no licence. Mr Johnson held that that could not be con- sidered good, because Mr Hooson had already taken the house, and was in fact the tenant of the property at present. Mr Marks reminded their worships that dur- ing cross-examination Mr Hooson had pre- viously stated he would not give 680 per year as a rental for the premises unless the licence were granted. He again asserted it was cor- rect to stlate that the granting of the licence I would be the means of a monetary considera- ¡ tion. I After Mr Hooson had given his evidence, I The Bench retired to consider the matter, and on their return, The Chairman stated the Bench had decided to grant the application. Structural Alterations. I Plans concerning certain structural altera- tions carried out in the Royal Oak Hotel, Mos- iyn-street; the restaurant on the pier in con- nection with the Llandudno Grand Hotel; and the Commercial Inn, Groesynyd, Roewen, were submitted by Mr Johnson, and they were all approved. The Drink List. Annie Bovce, Mary Ellen Hushes, and joliit Williams' (Ty'nycoed), Llandudno, were each fined 2S 6d and. costs for being drunk. 11 For being drunk in Mostyn-avenue on the 14th March, William Brooks, of Craigydon, Llandudno, was fined 5s and costs, the same fine being imposed upon Wm. Jones, Ty'ny- coed, for being drunk and disorderly on the 28th ult. Edward Evans, 'Bryngosol, Llandudno, was mulcted in the sum of ios and costs for being drunk in charge of a horse and cart; while John Williams, Back Madoc-street, Llandudno, was ordered to pay a like sum for being drunk and disorderly on the 28th ult1. A Hood Friday Fracas. Mary Davies, of 1, Warehouse-street, Llan- dudno, was summoned for .assaulting Catherine Morris, a neighbour, on the 10th inst. Mr Marks appeared for the complainant. De- fendant pleaded not guilty. Mr Marks stated the defendant held the coign of vantage in Warehouse-street by residing in No. x. On Good Friday there was some little misunderstanding. Two of the complainant's children were playing outside the defendant's house, and for some reason Mrs Davies began using abusive language towards the children, this being continued towards his client when she came on the scene. Things became still more uncomfortable when defendant threw a bilg stone, which narrowly escaped striking Mrs Morris on the head. All the complainant de- sired was that defendant should cease what had become a regular annoyance. Defendant was continually creating disturbances in the street, and the language used by her on 'he occasion in question was foul to a degree. After a protracted hearing, defendant was fined xos and costs.

« The Country House Water Supply. „ FEW people are yet able to realise exactly what can be accomplished by a wiiid-motor. They do not appear to understand that a modern wind-motor is something entirely different from the old wooden windmill. The latter was, more or less, subject to the caprice of the weather, while the former is a powerful and trustworthy piece of mechanism. It has this very great advantage, too, that the cost of fitting 'up an ordinary country house with a water supply by wind power is extremely cheap, as compared with the system of laying down pipes from a town supply, while the hydraulic nam system is very often impossible owing to | there being an insufficient fall of water. A complete wind.-motor pumping plant for sup- plying an ordinary country house wi,th 500 to 1,000 gallons of water per day would cost about ^'50! The storage cistern should be capable of holding at least four or five days' supply, so as to ensure an unfailing supply in calm weather. •—"Country Life."
