In these the "boys" all take a fair share, and not the least is that of Thos. Dewley, the accomplished pianist. No small amount of the success of the troupe is due to his playing.

It transpires that at about 7 a.m.. in company with another gentleman friend, he divested himself of his clothing under the pier and proceeded into the water. At the time the tide was on the ebb, and there was a heavy sea. Presumably, he was not a very strong swimmer, for when he had gone about 70 yards out, found himself in dimculties. and loudly cried for help. John R. Jones, who is employed with the bath- mg machines, heard the cry, and, tying a rope around his waist, went to his assistance. He suc- ceeded In reaching the unfortunate man. Mean- while, the other end of the rope had been tied to a horse on the shore, and R. 0. Roberta, another bathing machine employee, mounted the anima), both the rescuer and rescued being pulled out In t '3 manmr. The unfortunate man was found to be quite unconscious, but artificial respiration was resorted to by several gentlemen, and after a short interval. Dr. W. M. Venables Williams, who had been sent for, arrived on the scene. In about ha-lf-an-hour the man had sumciently recovered to be conveyed to his lodgings in a motor car, kindly placed at his disposal for the purpose. It is understood that the man has since made a good recovery. Credit is due to the men who effected the rescue for their promptness, for had they delayed another minute the accident might have lwoved fatal.

COLWYN BAY: AN APPRE- CIATION.. A V!S)TOR'S tMPHESStONS. When soven y€a.rs ago I paid a Hying visit to Coiwyn Bay, I, was not much imprcsjed by wihat I saw. During tho following year 1 spent a fortnight h-M-e, and went away charmed. On my third visit I was still more infatuated. and now my opinion of your (?autiful town and bay has reached tho 'highest possible water ma.rk. Please allow me to give, in brief, my tmpresslons. 'Phe new railway station is a considerable im- provement on tho old on.e, ana instead of being a disfigurement is rather aji ornament to that part of the town in which it is situated. The only drawback is the c-missj'm of refreshment rooms, and the dimcul'y of obtaining access to the platform to &&e friends pass through. On Monday som-e relatives of tmne we o passing through the station on their way to spend a holiday at P.(';¡maenma,Yr. I applied for thr&c /phI.tIclrm tickets for my wife, my son, and myself, and waa at first refused, but, after threatening to lay an oKicia.1 comp'a.int agninst .such aj-bitjary t raiment, the ticket's were handed to me, and I was allowed to pass to enab'e m'a to seo some friends who live a hundred mil&s away, and whom i hnd not seen for twelve months.

Tne CLERK reported the L,=,oupt of furth&r reports on the matter, and on hia suggestion they were referred to committee'.

"Near- ly all the small seaside J-esorts near Dublin do this," a-dded the writer. The letter w&s peferred to committee. Bearing upon a letter from Mr A. Hamilton King as to wearing of costumes in connection with bathing at Old Colwyn, a report was re- ceived from the Promenade Inspector of the attention given to the matt-er. A DANGEROUS CORNER. Referring to the complaints lodged by Dr. Lord a.nd others with reference. to the turning from Conway-road into Brompron Avenue, in view of the tram tra-fno, it was resolved that the Ciefk approached the owner of "Wayside' with the' vi-ew to somo improvement being effected by acquiring a strip of land Or other- wise. THE ALLEGED OVERCROWDING OF TRAMCARS. A letter was read from the Secretary of the Tramway Company as to the petition alleging uudue noise in working the tramcars over the pissing place near the Roman Catholic Church, stating that every consideration was bc'ing ex- tended to the complaint. Tho Clerk was instructed to write the Tram- way Company asking that the stopping signs bo fixed up in the town as early as possible, and asking to be furnished with a list of fares for tho Council's information. A letter was <).L,o rc-a.d from the Bo.ard ot Trade, enclosing a copy of regulations proposed to bb ma.do with regard to the car trati\, and asking the Council's early observations thereon. The Chairman of th:) Genera) Purposes Com- mittes, tho Chairman of the Council, and vice- Chairman were a.pp?inted to deal with the mat- ter. Mr ED. ALLEN catted attention to the over- crowding of the tramcars, and -aid that as matters stood at present it was not safe for ladies to go into the cars. He thought that was a matter which deserved the attention of'the Board of Trade. The CLERK, in answer to a question, said that the Council had power to make bye-laws of their own, which would prevent the overcrowding of carriages, and the tram conductors were at 1 present empowered to stop more passengers 1 getting into the cars than It had been provided I with seating accommodation for. He suggested that the Council write the secretary of tho Tram- way Company askmg him to instruct the con- ductors to enforce the regulation on thut point, and further that the Council writ, asking for a copy of the mode! bye-lnws framed by the Board of Trade, and that the Board bo asked to sanc- hon their application In Colwyn Bay. Mr T. 11. MORGAN thought that was not a matter that should be left to the company, be- cause it v.asin the that the cars Cai-r lei as many as p03sible. lIe had just left a ear, and It wen so fun that. the steps at the rear were utilised by passengers. That should certainty not be allowed inasmuch as the practice courted a. serious accident (hear, hear). Mr JOHN WILLIAMS: It is the fault of the public. They will crowd into the cars in spite Mr E. H. DAVIES disagreed w?ith that view, and pointed out that a passenger who had paid for Ills seat had no power to stop others crowd- and pointed out that a passenger who had paid for Ills seat had no power to stop others crowd- ing on top of him. He could bear out what Mr Morgan had said, for he had personalty seen pt'ople have to move off the step of a car in order to permit other passengers to board the car. He also thought the company should regulate the charges on children under twelve yc:);'s of age. He had seen a mother with a child in arms compeDf-d to pay sixpence for the fare of the baby tu Haududno, and not content with that the conductor had had the assurance. when the lady plac-ed tho child to sit. on the Hca.t, to request her to nurse the child—which the lady properly refused to accede to (laughter and hear, hear), Mr DICKEN said that his experience of frajn- ill" bye-laws was that it was a very tedious business, and if they had to resort to that they mighc be at It for ten years before satisfactorily m&cting the difficulty. Mr HUGH HUGHES urged the Council to join hands with the Llandudno Urban District Council for similar complaints had been made to that authority. Mr WILLIAM DAVIES thought the Council should insist upon the provision of more cars by the company so as to be better able to cope with the demand on them at certain parta of the dav. Mr D. GAMBLE, who observed that the com- bye-laivs had been framed in a munner, said that so far as he understood them It rested entirety with .he conductor to say when a car was full. Mr E. H. DAVIES proposed that a letter be sen:; to the secretary of the company calling attention to the matter. Mr EDWARD ALLEN seconded. The Rev. WILLIAM HUGHES: I propose as an amendment that we ask for more cars. The CHAIRMAN: That is no amendment. Mr DICKEN: Have we a. risht to prosecute a tram conductor who ofYends in this ir.&tter ? The CLERK: You will as soon as you have frnmcd vour bve-laws property. Mr JOHN WILLIAMS said he sympathised with the conductors, and thought the company v/cro doing the best they couid under the circum- stances. Mr WILLIAM DAVIES moved that the Bye- faws Committee be ca.'ied at once to go into the framing of suitable bye-laws. Cn a division it was decided by the casting vote of the Chairman to write the company's secre- tary as suggested by the Clerk. ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PUPIL. # THE ABILITY OF OOLWYN BAY BOYS. The manager of the electricity works had sub- mitted letters received from or on behalf of appli- cants for the vacancy in his department since the last meeting, and afi.er consideration the Light- ing' Committee recommended "that W. S. Da- vies. of Denbigh, be accepted us a pupii in the electrical df'pa.rtn:f"it for a. period of thr?e ye?rs. at a premium of J6100, of which JS&O wou)d be pay- able to the to be DY the Council, as follows, at the rate of 2s 6d per week. hrst year; 5s, second year; and 10s, third "Mr JOHN WILLIAMS a.sked why the com- mittee should have gone to Denbigh for a pupil? He understood that <hfre were scverai !ccal youths applying for the vacancy. Mr DICKEN (chairman of the committee) re- pticd that that had been the only application I of" 1.1 which had met with the views of the committee. and who had met them m accordance with the terms of the advertisement. Mr WILLIAM DAVIES said be was sorry to hear that the Coiwyn Day youths had been treated in that manner. Were the committee allowed ——. The CHAIRMAN: Have you an amendment to submit? Mr DAVIES: Yes. I move aa an amendment that the best boy qualified from Co!wyn Bay who applied for the position should have it (laughter). It was giated that the Co!wyn Bay applicants were not prepared to pav the premium charged. Mr JOHN WILLIAMS: W:ts there any reason to nut un the premium of .C50? Mr WILLIAM DAYISS said that surely there- were some fads in Cci ?yn Bay who could come- up to the high standard nxcd by the committee (taufhter). Mr DICKEN protested against "this p;ay;ng up to the guUery"—— Mr W. DAVIES: Never mind the gallery (laughter). Mr DICKEN But it is that. We have inter- viewed the iads who cnpLed, and we b':JI'e the position to the most Int. !Hgent, and the only one who came up to the demand of tho advertise- ment. Mr W. DAVIFS pressed his amendment, but there was no seconder. Mr E. H. DAViES: I "hou!d like to sav The CHAIRMAN: Do you second the amend- ment? Mr E. H. DAVIES: 0':), no; but I would like to sav ——. The CHAIRMAN: Then the rialter is Mr'E? 11. DAVIES: W?M, then, I shaU ?.<.fEd the amendment. I on Mr WILLIAM DAVIES (promptly): I beg to withdraw the amendment then, Mr Chairman (kud laughter).

The health returns thnr 18 births hf!f! been reported during July, as against 21 In Julv last year, while the deaths numbered ei.-iit, (in- cluding two visitors), as against eleven ('nciud ing four visitors) during the same month of last year. THE NEW BARONET'S THANKS. Sir J. Herbert; Roberts, M.P., wrote gratefully acknowledging the Coumil's message f'f con granulation on the honour recently conferred upon him by His Majesty, and stating he valued greatly the Council's Hppreciation of what h<. had done for them and the town, though he wa well aware that their estimate of his services had been far too generous..However, he felt deeply gratefu! for the kindly feelings which lay behind their message, and assured them he would always be glad to do all in his power for the welfare, and to advance the Interests of Colwyn Bav.

The Clerk An elecHon must take place, and two members of this Council uiust give nottce to eit.hcr the Chairman or the Clerk of Utis Counci! Mr J. W. R:<ynes i propose that Mr Hugh Owen and Mr Robert Roberts give the necessary notice. The proposilIOn was HEDGE TRIMMING. Mr Robert. Roberts caiied attention to the fact that at the last meeting the Hxd Survoor was instructed to have the hedges in the district trimmed, and he desired to know what the Surveyor had doue in the maltex.

Mr Aneurm Jones said a question now arose as to whether a man did not start his work at the time he was walking along a road on which he was work- tng. Mr Robert Roberta D,.n't provide them with ex- CltSN, Mr Jonee. Mr Hugh Owen contended that when a man had ft long disLance (.0 walk he shouid be entitled to some but when a man livpd wit.h in reascin- ab)e dist.auce of his work it was a different matter altogether.

The Surveyor pointed out that one of the men bad an ijour'g walk to his work, and the other about forty minutes' walk. The Cierk pointed out that the Council were con- demning the men before giving them a chance to de- fend themselves, and he suggested that before any action was taken the men should be a-sked for an The Clerk's fuggMtion was adopted.
