PROPOSED INCORPORATION OF LLANDUDNO. PUBLIC MEETING OF RATEPAYERS. BALLOT TO BE TAKEN. A well attended public meeting of ratepayers jtv&s held at the Town Hall, Llandud- yoGtsrdiy week, for the purpose of consider- ing the advisability of petitioning his Majesty the King to grant a charter for the incorpora- tion of Llandudno. Mr Samuel Chantrey (chairman of the Llan- dudno Urban District Council) presided, and was supported on the platform by Councillors E. E. Bone, James McMaster, T. Smith, J. It. Dawson, and Mr Alf. Conolly (clerk of the Ur- ban District Council). HISTORY OF THE MOVEMENT. The Chairman, after referring to the object of the meeting, hoped that all present had oome to the meeting with a.n unbiassed mind. The Llandudno Council were not trying to rush the matter, but were anxious to test the feeling of the ratepayers, and carry out their wishes. Personally, he had an open mind on the question, and had oome to the meeting to hear both sides (cheers). The subject was first brought forward in 1893, when the clerk prepared a report on the matter. In December, 1901, Mr Garic Ro- berts, who was a member of the Council, brought the matter before the Council, and was seconded by Councillor T. W. Griffith. The matter was referred to a committee, a.nd upon their recom- mendation a public meeting was called, but as Mr D. Garic Roberts was not present the mat- ter fell through. In December, 1903, Mr Mc- Master brought the question up again, but cer- tain matters concerning the overlapping of the boundaries with Conway came up, so the matter was referred to the Works Committee. In 1905 Mr Marks rose the subject, but with- drew it, to be brought forward again at the present time (applause). Councillor James Marks said incorporation as admitted to be the highest form of civic government. If that system of Government was adopted by all towns which had the necessary population incorporation must be considered of la higher status than an Urban District Council. Urban District Council and such forms of gov- ernment were always changing, but boroughs always had, and always would, maintain their high status'. One of the advantages of incor- poration was the possession of a Mayor, ana he contended that more dignity attached to tho edition of Mayor than to that of chairman of an roan District Council.. 'A borough was ocmaklered more important, IImJdI had more effect in dealing with other inuni- fcripal authorities and Government bodies than a town managed by an Urban District Coun- cil -As an Urban District Council they were Daly ane of the "rook" in dealing with the County Council, but when they became a Cor- tiheir status was improved, and they were treated with respect- When an Act of Parliament was passed a copy was sent to the clerk of every Corporation, but aithioiigii ur- ban District Councils had applied for that pri- vilege it had been denied them—a sign of the ;a. itJifferemoe with which the Government rogardeid fe borough as oompard with an Urban District Council A Town Council had the power to tnake bye-laws for the regulation of street trading and street betting, which were at pre- sent made for them by the County Council- The two dhief points on which the oontro- versy revolved were the r&tos and the auditing of aoooumts- A good deal of harmful talk had been circulated about the cxtravaganoe Off Town Councils, and it was alleged' that the rateg of Ibe town would increase by incorporation- 1 h (Town Clerk of Douglas had taken the oppor- tunity of enquiring whether incorporation did increase the rates, and the answers of a num- ber of boroughs had been almost unanimous m ifche negative. The expenses of maintaining the town would be slightly greater than it was, but they would have a larger basis for taxa- tion. Tb&> railway lines at present had only to say one quarter of the taxes, whilst if they became incorporated they would have to pay the full amount for the benefit of the borough rate ^applause). Then again a borough with 10,000 inhabitants was allowed to control its own ole- mentary education, whilst to enjoy the same (privilege a town under an Urban District Coun- cil mupt possess a population of 20,000- In England and Wales there were over 400 bor- oughs, wfuo. if they desired, oould have a Government Auditor in addition to their elective auditors, but out of that 400 only three bad cboeen tihe eervioes of a Looal Government auditor. One advantage of elective auditing that it W;a8 made half-yearly, not eight months after the Council's accounts had been dLoped, and the two audifcois would be Selected by the people on St. Davids Day. The (question was, "Is Llandudjno ripe for inoorpo- ration ?" Within neoemt yeacs 60 borougiiB had beoome inoarpora-ted, and the average sum or Iae4.d rateable value in the lowest of thepe bor- t>ugœ was a little over £5. whilst the highest a little over £10. In oonolusion, Mr Marks said that he was con- vinced that the time iiad now arrived when Llan- fludno, in its own in tercets, should take the step he advocated. Llandudno was far and away lie leading town, in the oounty, but it was not treated as it should be in county matters. In- Corporation was one way of remedying that de- fect. He, therefore, proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting approve of the prin- ciple of applying for a charter of incorporation for Llaadudno (applause). Mr Tonge eeoonded, and said that they all felt proud of the town in which they lived, and twa-nted their town to be elevated to a higher Status. Mr Marks had made it clear that thi6 object could be obtained by the incorporation of jLlandudno. They did not want to be considered a. scoond or third rate town—(hear, hear),—they had a right to the highest form of government and that was the one advocated by Mr Marks, the privileges of which would far exceed the poet (applause). Mr O. W. Roberts asked whether the pro- posed Borough Council would have the power to prevent street hawking? Mr Marks: No. Mr Roberts: What would be the difference, then? Mr Marks: It would effect hawking by chil- dren, and the selling of newspapers, etc. Mr O. W. Roberts contended that the Educa- tion Act could not now be brought under the power of a new borough at Llandudno, as it was not incorporated in 1901, when the Act was passed. However, there was one decided ad- vantage to be gained by incorporation, and that fwas a Borough "Bench instead of a County Bench, which, considering the very few magis- trates at present in the town, would be a. de- cided gain for Llandudno. Mr H. Rathbone said that he desired to know how incorporation would effect the votes of (women ? A DISSENTIENT VOICE. Mr Higginbottom said t.hat if Llandudno was Incorporated, it would have its ownpoiioe force to maintain, and would have to contribute to- :wa.rd. the maintenance of the county police as 1W11. A certain number of ladies would be de- prived of their votes, which woukl mean that xJandudno would become great in name, but little in fact (hear, hear). He thougiht that tilings were far better left as they were. Men (■were now elected for three years, and if they conducted themselves well, the ratepayers ai- rways took good care to retain them. Unfor- tunately, perhaps, tihey had found some of the members not so useful as they we.re a.t first, so the town at recent elections had given thorn the open-air treatment. If they had a Borough Council a.t Llandudno, such men would be made aldermen by their friends on the Council, thus placing them beyond the reach of the ratepayers. He oontended that men who spent the rate- payers' money tibould oome before the electors at least every three years. Some people thought incorporation would be a.n advantage as it al- I the Council to spend as much money as they liked on advertising the town, but tiat not necessary at Llandudno, for once visi- tors came to Llandudno, they always came again fend for that reason he contended that Iiandud- r was far better off as she was at present than ? incorporated (applause). Councillor E. E. Bone said that he had been in favour of incorporation for over ten years, but admitted that there was a good deal to be paid in favour of both sides. The tendency of legislation wag to make borougihs more and more self-governing, which was an important Iaot wthen it concerned seaside towns such as liandudno. The legislation of the future would confer further powers upon boroughs, and tie last Education Act afforded ample proof of that t. If a. neighbouring town was oonverted Into a borough before Llandudno, he felt sure they would all regret it (apfpiaa&e). Councillor J. R. Dawson said Ohat Councillor J. J. Marks had made a very eloquent speech, but he would venture to suggest that the ad- tag they wore supposed to gain from in- corporation were very shadowy. If incorpora- tion would make Llandudno a first-class borough there wag & great deal to be said for it, as they Would then have direct dealings with the Government. For his part, he would rather see 'the town under a first-class Urban District Coon- oil than have the shadowy advantages of a second rate borough. With regard to the irit- is jng, they already enjoyed the privilege of a -< large* basis, only under another name, by which be referred to the highway rate. Therefore they would stand to lose rather thM to gain in that respect. The highway rate weø taken openJy and Jvonestly, not smuggled in the poor rates By incorporation the Railway Company Would gain a little bit, and the householder would have to make it up. One of his chief ob- Sft ions to incorporation was beoa-uee a Urban istriot Council was the meet Democratic form of government known, and he did not wiant to pee the electorate diminished. With regvwd to the wotnen'e side of the question, they wanted protection for married women He did not think it right that a nimc&er should be doba-rred irotu

AMATEUR THEATRICALS AT LLANDUDNO. SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE OF "NIOBE." At the Grand Theatre, Llandudno, yester- day week, the Llandudno Amateur Dra- matic Society gave their second performance of the season, when the proceeds were in aid of tihe Llandudno Hot-pot Fund. The popularity of the play, and the actors, together with the worthy object benefited thereby, attracted an exceptionally Large audience. The piece selected was "Niobe," a farcical oomedy in three acts, by Harry and Edward Pault-on. The title role was taken by Mrs C. A. Hutton, and she admirably adapted herself to the part. Mrs Hutton is always a. wel- come figure on the amateur stage at Llandudno, but upon tAiiti occasion she was at her best, and her elocution and graceful manner at once oap- tivated the audience. The part of "Peter Amos Dunn" was allotted to Mr Sam Hewitt (junr.). Mr Hewitt has been eeen in various dharaeters, and always earned well merited plaudits, but upon this ooca. siorn excelled himself. Miss Gladys Haworth, as "Caroline Dunn, the beautiful wife of poor "Peter Amos," was afforded but little ecope for her abilities, but she did that little weli, and with her charming and graceful manner won the high appreciation of the audience. Miss Adelaide Port, as "Helen Griffin," and Mies Mabel Ward, as "Hattio Griffin," in cpen rebellion, did full justice to the characters. Mies Madeline Mifton, always in the way, gave a natural withal effective pourtrait of the cihar- acber. Mim Ethel Porter, as "Beatrice Sillocks," in love, was most charming, especially in the soene with Mr George Chase, who took the part of "Cornelius Griffin." Others who were equally I good were Miss Nellie Margetts, and Messrs C. ) N. Dairies, A. C. Slater, and R. H. Thomas. j At the close of the performance, it was the unanimous opinion that this was undoubtedly the best production ever given by the L.A.D.S. TRIBUTE TO LLANDUDNO TRADES- MEN. Mr J. E. Hornsby, on behalf of the Hot-pot Committee, thanked the Society for their ser- vices, and the audience for the generous sup- port they had given to the performance. Mr C. A. Hutton, in responding, stated that the previous day the Society found that the eos- ttrrne for "Niobe," received from a London firm, was not suitable. He consulted Messrs Zaloudek and Co., who came to the rescue, and within a few hours "Niobe" was on the stage, at the dress rehearsals, in the charming costume ehe wore that evening. Mr Ernest Jones and Miss Jessie Haworth were responsible for the musical portion of the performance.

LLANRWST URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. MOTOR SPEED LIMIT. THE iVTAiNTENANCE OF THE MAIN ROADS. A meeti.ng of the above Council was held on Friday, Mr W. Hughes, J.P., presiding. There were present: Dr. J. W. Owen, Rev. W. Cynwyd Williams, Messrs W. J. WilJiams, J.P., Edward Mills, J.P., Gth. Jones, T. Rogers Jones, W. G. Jones, J. Rhydwen Jones, D. J. Williams, and Wm. Davies, with the Clerk (Mr R. R. Owen), and other officials. IMPROVEMENT AT THE TOWN HALL. The Surveyor produced a plan of lavatory and other accommodation in connection with the Free Reading Room and Library. On the motion of Mr D. J. Williams, seconded by Mr W. J. Williams, it was decided to proceed with the work, according to the surveyor's schema. COLLECTOR'S REPORT. The report of the Rate Collector showed that during the month of November he had collected the following sums: General district rate, £102 18s 8d; water rents, J614 4s 6d; tolls, etc., jE2 8d 6d; making a total of 9119 lls 5d APPLICATION FOR THE MARKET HALL. A lo; t >r from Yapyn,y, and signed by A. Tierney, was read by the chairman, in which he offered to pay the Council 10s weekly for the use of the Market Hall every night in order to put up small ,talls-there. Tho applicant appeared before the Council, and, replying to questions, said there would be nu perishable goods there. He intended having a small concert to attract the people to the ooooanut shies, etc. There would be no loud music, and when they had any talent there they would make a small charge of a Id or 2d. It was decided not to allow the hall to bo used for such a purpose. MOTOR SPEED LIMIT. At a conference c-f representatives of the North Wales Automobile Club, the Urban Council, and County Council, held recently, tho objections of the Motor Union, the Royal Automobile Club, and the Automobile Club of North Wales to the application of the County Council for a regulation limiting the speed of motor-cars through the town of Llanrwst at ten miles an hour, as lodged with the Local Government Board, were considered and discussed, when it was decided that, subject to the approval cf tho Motor Union, the Automobile Clubs, and the Councils concerned, the restriction of the speed limit over the following roads and parts of roads ivithin the urban dis, rict be agreed to: So much of the main read to Llandudno and Cohvyn Bay a4* extends from its junction with Station-read to the crown of the railway bridge near the sta- tion, Stat ion-road from its junction with tho last-named road to its termination at Aucaster- square, Ancaster-square, Bridge-street, extending from its junction with Pont Fawr to its termina- tion at Ancastor-square, and so much of the main road to Bottwsycood as extends from its junction with Pont. Fawr to a point in the said main road opposite the Drill Hall. The Clerk now read a letter from the clerk of tho County Council, eiciojing letters from Mr H. R. Davies, s2crM.a.rv of the North Wales Automobile Club, and the secretary of the Motor Union, together with a map of Llanrwst, showing the proposed area cf limitation. They wished to know whether tho proposals met with the approval of the Council. The letter of Mr H. R. Davies was to the effect that the Motor Union agreed to a ten-mile speed limit from the centre of the railway bridge at the north end of the town. along Station-road, as far as the corner of George-street, and another from the Wesleyan Chapel, in Sration-road, through Ancaster-square. Bridge-street, and Jo a j point 69 or 70 yards to the south-east of wnoro Wa.tling-ntrr.et met the main road. He hoped tliat. the Council would b> able to accept that. There was no doubt, he thought, that in the ordinary conditions which generally lire- vailed it was quite safe to travel along Station- road at a greater speed than ten miles per hour, j The C'perk said ho was sorry he had "forgotten to bring the map with him, but it. showed that the motors could travel as they liked between George s reel and the Wes'evan Chapel, arid it did not go as far as the Drill Hall as the Coun- cil decided. Mr I). J. Williams said the Council should in- foist on the ten mile limit along the whole of Station-read. Why should motorists want to travel 20 miles an hour on that small portion of road? On the motion of Dr. Owen, seconded by Mr j Griffith Jonos, it was unanimously decided to ad- hero to their previous decision, and ask for the limit from the railway bridge to the Drill Hall. THE RECTORY ROAD. At a special meeting of the Council, the ■ Vice-Chairman called the attention of the Coun- cil to the need for a channel aeroos the entrance to tho Old-road near the Rectory to carry the surface water direct into the river. The clerk was instructed to make inquiries as to whether j the road had been legally closed by statute. The Clerk now reported that he had made inquiries at the county offioos, and Mr W. R. Evans wrote to say that he had searched the records from 1859 to 1880, and found nothing to show that the road had been closed by statute. The Surveyor asked whether the Rector (the Rev. J. Morgan) had the right to put a rope across the entrance of the road. The Rector stopped him putting gravel there once. The Clerk, in reply to a question, said that if the road was closed by an order of the Quarter Sessions, it would revert to the owner of the land. The matter wai left in abeyance, until such time as the surveyor had a further report to make upon it. THE ROAD MOTOR SERVICE. The CoLuncil a short time ago made represent*, The CoLuncil a short time ago niade represent*, t.ions to the Great Western Railway Company with raspect to extending tha» road motor service from Corwen to Llanrwst, but the company now wrote stating that after carefully reviewing the j whole of t.he circumstances they regretted that they oould not see their wav clear at the present; time to extend the service beyond Pentrevoelas, which is the present limit. j CRAFNANT LAKE FISHING. The Local Government B^a-rd wrote with re- ference to the proposal of the Urban Council to I improve the Crafnant Lake fishery, a.nd stated j that they did not believe there was any power enabling the Urban Council to expend money for the purpose of improving the fishery. The Clerk snid he had also looked into the matter carefully, and was of opinion that they had no power. I It. was decided to call the committee eleeted to deal with the matter as soon as convenient. VITAL STATISTICS. The Medical Offioer of Health reported that during October thai* were fivo births and fi-m deaths, making a death-rate of 21.6, as against 8.7 for the corresponding month. During No- vember there were seven births and one death, the deaths being a.t the rate of 4.3 per 1000, aa against 26.2 for the corresponding period. FINANCE. The Finance Committee recommended, and it was agreed, to pay bills amounting to B70 4s 7d. thus leaving an available balance in the hands of tha Council of E912 126 8d. THE HEAVY TRAFFIC QUESTION. At a meeting of the Highways Committee the question of repairing the main roads was con- sidered. the surveyor having reported that he would require 550 tons of macadam for the work. Tenders were received, but on the recommenda- tion of the committee it was decided not to in- cur any expenditure on the main roads this year beyond what was absolutely necessary to keep them in such a oondition as would satisfy the re- quirements of the contract with the County Council, and it was further agreed, on the mo- tion of Mr W. G. Jones, seconded by Mr Grif- fith Jones, to give notice to the County Council that they were not prepared to cojitract for the future maintenance of the main roads at the present inadequate rate of mileage. At a further meeting of the committee. it was resolved that the question of repairing the roads be deferred until the end of December, and that the clerk prepa.re a statement shewing the actual expenditure up to that time. The Clerk said that they should apply to the Countv Council for an extra grant. There was no doubt but that there was extraordinary traffic on the road, and it was only fair that the County Council should give a contribution. When the Council entered the contract, there was no thought of this heavy traffic. It was decided, on th- motion of Dr. Owen, seoonded bv Mr Griffith Jones, to ask the County Council to contribute towards the extra cost of keeping the main roads in repair, which had been sprung upon them unexpectedly. THE LIGHTING OF THE TOWN. At a meeting of the Lighting Committee a letter was read from the Gaa Company sub- mitting the following quotations fcr an exten- sion of the lighting hours:—(a) For lighting all the public lamps the year round from eunset to twelve p.m. an additional charge of 5s per lamp per annum. (b) For lighting all the public lamps the year round as in clause "a" with the exception of two nights before and two nights after full moon, an additional 2s 6d per lamp, i.e., 316 per lamp per annum. (c) For lighting the following lamps the whole of the year from sunpot to one hour after dawn at the rate of two pounds per lamp per annum, viz.: Opposite Post Office, Town Hall, near Glan Conway Hotel, Council Schools (end of Watling- ttrcet), Farm Cottage, near Foundry, corner of Plough Shop, ScotLand-eire-st, top of Soot- lancLstree-t (Talylx>nt-road), and top of Denbigh- street. On the motion of the Rev. W. Cynwyd Williams, seconded by Mr Mills, it was resolved to recommend the Council to accept the terms mentioned for lighting the epe.eial lamps re- fe.rred to under clause "c." It was further re- solved, on the motion of Mr W. J. Williams, seconded by Mr Milfe, to recommend the Coun- cil to include the lamp at corner of Waterloo House with the special lamps to be lit all night, provided the Gas Company will agree to light the Fage on the same tenras as the others. This was adopted by the Council, and a letter from Mr Edison Stone, the manager of the Gas Company, was read stating that they would include the Waterloo Houoe lamp in the con- tract provided it was not in an isolated position.

the Town Council, if the community wished to elect him (applause). Mr Ll wyfo Roberts spoke in favour of inoor- poration. Dr. Spinther James said he failed to find how any material benefit the town would derive from incorporation. They would have a Mayor, who would have a salary. (A Voice: "Not neces- sarily"). A Mayor would have more power to spend than a chairman of an Urban District Council. He objected to incorporation beca-usc it enabled men who the ratepayer* had rejected as councillors to be elected ss aldermen (ap- plause). CONWAY'S CLAIMS. Councillor James McMaster referred to cor- tain portions of the district which were claimed by the Conway Corporation, but which, he said, really belonged to Llandudno. He said that it was no use of LLandudno going in for incor- poration unless it could claim its rights under Act of Parliament or otherwise. He was in favour of incorporation if they could get the area. now claimed by the Conway borough back .again, but not otherwise (cheers). He pro- posed that a vote, by ballot, of the ratepayers on the question be taken at the next Council election, and that each ratepayer be requested to vote either for or against in a separate ballot- box from that of the election of councillors. Mr H. Rathbone seconded Mr McMaster's re- solution, as he thought it would give the publrc a.n opportunity of considering the matter. MR MARKS REPLIES. Mr Marks, in replying on the general dis- Icussion, said that .the polioe force would not necessarily be under the control of the new bor- ough, but with regard to the appointment of magistrates the borough oould deal direct with the Lord Chancellor. He failed to see why those persons who objected to aldermen being elected from outside on Borough Councils did not object to the same procedure on County Councils. Alderman Robert Roberts: On a point of or- der, Mr Chairman, this is not the first time that Mr Marks has taken advantage of his position to insinuate The Chairman: That is not a point of order. Alderman Robert Roberts: Allow me to ex- plain. The Chairman: No, I cannot. Mr Marks said that he was referring to a principle, and not to any individual. He was quite prepared to withdraw his motion in favour of that of Mr McMaster's. t Upon being put to the vote. Mr McMaster s motion was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Mr Marks concluded the proceedings.
