A reference to our advertisement column, in which the Urban Council's annual statement of accounts appear, will show that there was a balance at the end of the financial year of C963 5s lid. This shows that the clerk and the Council exercise the greatest care in the distribution of the ratepayers' money, as very few Councils in Wales can boast of such a credit balance at the ter- mination of their administrative year. • • • ■ A feeling prevails amongst the tradesmen that Llanrwst should settle its own prices for the produce offered for sale, and no longer be ruled by the prices obtaining in Conway as has been the case in the past. The towns are differently situated and in different circumstances, so that a form of "home rule" on this matter is desirable. • • • • The large number of visitors to the town this summer proves that there is a bright future in store for the inhabitants if the place was properly advertised. The defunct Town Improvement Society should either be revived or another should take its place in order to publish the many advantages of the district as a pleasure re- sort. Other towns are doing this with consider- able monetary gain to the residents.

LLANELIAN. THE OLD PARISH CHURCH.— Visitors will be interested to know that an English ser- vice is conducted in the Old Parish Church, at 10.45 a.m. Amongst other interesting features of the ancient structure is the pre-Reformation chalice, which may be seen after the service upon request of the Rector.

AN ENTERPRISING TRADESMAN.-Llan- fairfechan, writes a correspondent, can boast at least one tradesman animated with a spirit of enterprise. Hanging outride his shop is a card- board sign conveying the information that the public can buy at the establishment Black Hen's Eggs, 8 for a Is." "I called upon the shop- keeper and asked whether he could tell me the difference between white hen's eggs and black hen's eggs? "Yes," he replied. "Black hen's eggs are bigger than those laid by white hens. Moreover that sign has drawn more attention to my eggs than anything else. Scores have asked the same question as you have." THE SEASON. The season is now at its height, and though some lodging-house keepers are complaining the town appears to be enjoying a record influx of visitors. Bathing is naturally very popular.

ALLEGED LARCENY OF A GOLD WATCH. At the Bangor Petty Sessions on Tuesday, William Corner, commission agent, Sparkbrook, Birmingham, was charged with stealing a gold watch belonging to Mr F. C. B. Butterfield, Queen 3 Hotel, Llanfairf-eohan. Supt. Harris, who prosecuted, stated that the watch was placed in a case on a sideboard in the hotl by Mr Butterfield, and) shortly after- wards the defendant was seen coming into the hotel, and he was served with a glass of beer. After he left the hotel, the watch was missing, it being found in the possession of the defend- ant at Penmaenmawr- Mr Butterfield stated that the watch was valued at ten guineas. The watch was re- moved from the case. The Defendant: Why did you watch me? Mr Butterfield: Because I did not wnt your company. Wm. Williaw, the boots at the Queen's Hotel, gave evidence, as also did P.C. C. Williams (69), who said that when he taxed the defend- ant about the theft, and threatened to arrest vl railsP1'c'<>n> he made a rush at him and said No, you don't." Witness, howevetr, over- powered him, and found the watch in his pos- session. Defendant said that he picked up the watch from a chair at the hoteL The defendant handed to the Bench a long statement, which he had written whilst in ous- todv, and which he started: "Corner v. But- terfield. I do solemnly declare that the under- mentioned statement is absolutely true in fact and substance." He stated that he sat on the watch which he looked at, and then placed in his pocket (laughter). He had been drinking, and did not consider that he was responsible for his actions, or else he would not have con- descended to lower himself in committing a theft. He was well-known and respected in Birmingham, where he had a wife and two sons Supt. Harris reported that five years ago the defendant was fined for assault. » The Bench sent the defendant to prison for a month with hard labour. Mr Butterfield, addressing the Bench, stated that he wished to compliment P.C. Williams on his promptitude. Two hours after it was stolen the watch was recovered.

The concerts at the wells continued to attract a large crowd every morning and evening. A number of the visitors assist with the result that varied, and interesting programmes are sustained. The local Council is to be congratulated on the way the seats have been arranged in convenient spots to view the falls, but the Council should go a step further and rail off the paths which are at present rather dangerous, especially to the juvenile element. Such a popular resort as Tre- friw should accord visitors every facilities to view its attractions with safety. The road leading from the village to Gower Bridge is at present covered with about three inches of dust, which is a source of considerable nuisance to pedestrians. It is to be hoped the authority which regulates this road will take some steps to keep it in better condition.
