V- io.1: OOLWYN BAY URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. TRAMWAY EXTENSION SCHEME. THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOCHDRE. SCARCITY OF LAND FOR ALLOTMENTS. Mr D. O. Williams presided over the monthly meeting of this Council on Tue3day. There were also present: Rev. William Hughes, Messrs T. H. Morgan, T. Hopkins, John Jones, William Horton, Bliss Hill, George Be van, Jos. Dicken, E. II. Davies, J. Williams, Hugh Davies, Chas. Reynolds, Hugh Evans, Bearnard Lowe, Ed. Allen, with the Clerk (Mr James Amphlett), the Deputy Clerk (Mr Jos. II. Roberts), the En- gineer (Mr William Jones, M.Inst.C.E.), the Sanitary Inspector (Mr W. Henry Jones), and the Collector (Mr Lewis Jones). A MEMBER'S BEREAVEMENT. After the members had assembled the Chair- man asked whether, havi-ng regard for the sad bereavement of Mr William Davies, their fellow member, who, as they were all probably aware, had just lost his wife, the Council desired to adjourn the meeting for half an hour so as to afford them an opportunity to attend the funeral service, which was to tako place at Glyndwr at that hour. On the motion of Mr T. Hoskins the chair- man's suggestion was unanimously agreed to, and the members left forthwith for the service. Business was subsequently resumed, and on the motion of the Chairman a vote of condolence with Mr Davies was unanimously agreed to. APPLICANTS FOR ALLOTMENTS. The Allotments Committee reported that at the invitation of the Chairman (Mr Charles Rey- nolds) the following applicants attended the committee meeting on the 8th ult.R. J. Jones, J. Biilingham, J. W. Browne, W. Greenfield, W. Kilbourn, E. Driver, E. Proudlove, A. Fisher, G. Tooley, Thos. Baskerville, W. Lamb, A. T. Harsenfc, T. C. Jones, Yf. Davies, D. Llewelyn, 1. Butler, D. Jones, and J. T. Chaplin. Each individual 'applicant was interrogated as to his experience, etc., and the committee were favour- ably impressed by the suitability of the several applicants. After an exchange of views as to probable rent to be paid for the land, etc., the interview closed with a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman. According to the requisitions the area of land applied for was over ten acres. —The Chairman stated he had offers of land if found suitable to the Council, and reported an interview with Mr J. M. Porter on the matter who promised every assistance possible on learn- ing the Council's requirements.—A communica- tion from Mr D. Mac. Ni(,,oll was expected as to land on the Coed Coch Estate.—Finally the com- mittee resolved to leave the matter In the hands of the chairman and the surveyor to report on the land offered and how they couid be divided up for allotment purposes. At a meeting of the committee, on the 30th ult., "the Chairman reported that the gardens at. Oakamoor were withdrawn from the list pre- viously mentioned to this committee, that, the land named by Mr J. M. Porter was situate a long way up Nantyglvn Valley; that he had communicated with Mr E. Mackie, estate agent of the London and North-Western Railway Com- pany, a.,3 to land at Bronynant, and Mr Barlow, M.P., who stated that all the land he had for allotments had been let to small holders—wish- ing the Council every success. The Chairman stated he intended to make enquiry of Countess Dundonald as to land at Glyn Farm; and further to make enquiry respecting a small farm of four or five acres which it was reported was about to become vacant. "Plans were submitted by the Surveyor show- ing the situation of land now available and suit- able for allotments, viz. :—(a) Portion of field, Conway road, 1060 square yards, Mrs Crosfield, owner; (b) portion of field, Bronynant Depot (adjoining cemetery), 1400 square yards, Urban District Council, owners; (c) land lying between railway bank and the last mentioned field, 2080 square yards, London and North-Western Rail- way, owners; (d) portion of land adjoining the gasworks, 4182 square yard?, Urban District Council, owners; (e) portion of land adjoining Rhiw roservoirs, 2200 square yards, Urban Dis- trict Council, owners; a total of close on 2g acres." The committee now recommended that this land be utilised for allotments, and that they be authorised to proceed to let it with power to carry out, the fencing required. Mr Charles Reynolds, in moving the adoption of the report, said he did not think the com- mittee were submitting a large order when they asked the Council for power to allot the land now in their hands. With reference to the Rail- way Company's property he had been in com- munication with Mr Mackie, representing the C0aJpany, who stated the company would accept L5 for it provided the Council fenced it. Asked to reduce the price to £ 3 Mr Mackie said this could not be done, adding. that the company did not like letting their land for allotment pur- poses. Considering the exceeding length of the piece he (the speaker) thought it would be too expensive for the Council to fence it, and pay the JB5 suggested; he therefore proposed that that part of the scheme be dropped. The committee were of opinion that the land round the Rhiw reservoirs would serve wpH for garden- ing purposes, and the committee now sought power to allot that suitably. Mr George Bevan referred to the land adjoin- ing the gasworks, which the committee proposed dealing with, and asked whether the Gas, Com- mittee had been consulted. When the gasworks were purchased he believed that one of the con- ditions were that the land should be utilised for gasworks purposes only. The Clerk pointed uut that the Allotments Act had been passed subsequent to that affecting the gas undertaking, and he believed that almost any land could be dealt with under the new Act. Mr Dicken said the Gas Committee would want more land for the gasworks than they owned in that neighbourhood, and if any of it were let for allotment putpose.s where would they be? Mr Reynolds replied that the land would be lot subject to a year's notice so that the pro- perty could be handed back to the Gas Com- mittee whenever it was required, and the com- pensation clause only anticipated yearly profits. The committee had consulted Mr Pennington, the gas manager, and so far was he from objecting to the suggested allotment of the land that he had practically pegged the land out for the com- mittee (laughter). Mr Dicken: Mr Pennington did not consult the Gas Committee about it at any rate. The report was adopted. At a later stage Mr Reynolds reported that he had written to the Countess of Dundonald with regard to the land at Clyn Farm, but her lady- ship had replied stating she could do nothing for them. There wa3 no truth in the report that a small farm would become vacant soon. A GOVERNOR. Mr George Bcvan Willi appointed to represent the Council on the Court of Governors for the University College of North Wales. THE COST NOTWITHSTANDING. The Sanitary Committee rcpoitod that nine- inch .sewer in Greenfield-road between Back Bav View-road and Bay View-road had become 11(kl) :,mail, and that as a consequence flooding took place during heavy rainstorms of certain house.B in Bay View-road. They recommended that the existing nine-inch sewer be replaced bk a -jewcr 0f 12 inch dia-meterut an estimated oost of 1;65. Mr Ceo. lkyan asked the committee where they were going to have the money to spend on the work. If they had not provided for it in their estimate t he re would bs a deficit at the end of the year. Mr E. H. Davies replied that wherever the money came from the work must be done (laug'h- ter). It was not new work, but something that should have been done long ago- The Surveyor concurred, ana added that the committee intended to place the oost against the sirp^nse account. If something were not done the (ounci) would bo liable for damage in con- sequence of the flooding of other people's pro- perty. THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOCIIDRE: EXTENSIVE SEWERAGE SCHEME. "In compliance with the Sanitary Committee's diioctions tine Engineer submit t'd a report on a scheme for the sewerage of the village of Moohdre. He pointed out that there a.re in this part of the district several estatos which aro in the market as building sites, and "al- though the present requirements of this locality are not very great, stall I am of opinion that if the scheme now submitted is carried out it will induce a much faster development here than hitlierto." His was a more comprehensive scheme tlian that in the minds of the commit- tee, because he had ascertained that some diffi- cuilty would arise in procuring an outlet except at the point now proposed, while other con- tiderutIOJIS had arisen which cortit)-c-,ilt--d him to fix the outlet or discharge on the low lying land shown on the plan which accompanied the re- port. He intcxxled laying nine inch sewers in Tanrallt-street and Chapel-street, which would be extended so as to drain the whole of the cot- tages in that neighbourhood. A short length would be extended so as to drain the Eagles Farm; then the nine inch sewer would be ex- tended towards the Station road, where it would < • 'r ¡.r f be enlarged to 12 inch diameter and continued wlonog the main road until it reached the occupa- tion road on Glanywern land along which the 12 inch outlet sewer would be laid to the dis- posal works on the low lying land referred to. The 12 inch sewer would be continued along the main road for a length of 176 yards up to Wan Villa, so as to pick up all the 20 cottages recently erected by Messrs Isaac and John Hughes and the other houses in that neighbour- hood- The treatment proposed for the sewage wil.. by means of septic tanks and filtration. The land upon which it was proposed to con- struct the disposal works was an isolated piece containing an a.rca of about two iicres, and he was of opinion it could be acquired at a very moderate price. This scheme was so designed that if from any cause it would be found neces- sary to abandon the disposal works it could be extended towards Glanywern and continued through the Railway Subway to a point on the northerly side of the railway, where a small pumping station could be established to enable the whole of the sewage from that low lying part of the disÜrict to be raised to the Council's Sewerage Pumping Station. The number of houses that could now be drained into the scheme was 74, which represented an estimated population of 370 persons. The amount of daily sewagte that would have to be dealt with would bo about 11,100 gallons, but he was of opinion that in ten years this would be more than doubled. The approximate cost of the scheme would be L2WO. The repayment of this loan by way of annuity with interest would amount to £ 117 per annum for 30 years." The Sanitary Committee reported having in- structed Mr J. M. Porter to negotiate for the land referred, and that further consideration of the report had been deferred till their next meeting. Mr Dicken remarked that since the commit- tee had taken action with regard to the possible fxurchase of land, it appeared as though that sdheme was to be proceeded with. Was there any serioun intention of that kind ? They were told that although the present requirements of th,q locality are not; very great," the committee suggested the expenditure of 9117 per annum for 30 years on a scheme to meet those require- ments. lIe would remind the committee that the Council could not afford to spend anything' upon such a scheme jmst yet- Mr E. H. Davies (cihairma of the committee) replied that all the committee desired was to know the price of the land so as to be prepared for the time wihen action would be taken. The com mat tee made no recommendation so that there was no occasion for a discussion upon. the question on that occasion. Mr< 11 ujgh Evans thought tbo mater should b:: left in the hands of the committee as they were well able to deal with it. Mr John Williams said he had never heard of the scheme before. Had anybody asked for it? Mr Hugh Evano: Yes; they all have from that distnet. Mr J. Williams protested against taking action in a matter of that kind before the General Purposes Committee had dealt with it. Mr T. II. Morgan agreed with Mr E. H. Da- vies that tho Kanitarj- Committee had a perfect right to take the step they had. Tire Council would be Ixjund to deal with t,he matter some time later on, and it was not right that they should choke off useful inquiries at their initial stage in that fashion. The matter thru dropped. MR llORTON v. THE COUNCIL. Mr John Williams said he regtet-tcd that no mention had been made in the Sanitary Com- mittee's report ot t.ho threatened action between Mr Horton and the Council in regard to -he Rhos suj-fa.ee water sewerage question. Were going to allow litigation to proceed The Clerk replied that a letter had been re- ceived on the matter from Mr Morton's solici- tors, and with tbs Council's consent he pro- posed to read it in comm.itteo at the close of t.ho ordinary business. When the correspondence was read at a later stage, the Clerk again referred to the letter. Mr Dicken protected against) "going to law over a ten pound note" when the whole matter could be .satisfactorily settled in about live min- utes. lie knew as much about the drainage and the connections of drains in the Rttos dis- trict as any member of the district, and he knew of nothing tha.t could not be dealt with properly by three sensible men provided Mr Horton dis- cussed the disputed point with t-hem (henr. hear). Mr Horton was a reasonable man, and he moved that the Chairman, Mr John Wil- liams Mr David Gamble, and Mr Geo. Bevan be depaled to meet Mr Horton with a view to effecting a settlement. Trie Rev. Win- Hughes seconded, and said it would bo a shame on the part of the two parties if they were to resort to law over a trifle of two or three guineas—the amount was not £10 as suggested by Mr Dicken. It: wa.s subsequently decided that Mes..r3 Dicken, Gamble, Bevan, and John Williams, with the Clerk mrt Mr Ilorton, who expressed his readiness to adopt t.he suggestions. Mr E. H. Da vies remarked that since the word "shame" had been used in that connection it was only right that the ratepayers should know that the "sllame" of contemplating leiral steps did not rest unon the Council, because the Coun- cil were, merely the defendants in the matter. The Chairman agreed, but added that as the committee had been appointed it would be ad- visable to let the msitrer rertt for the present. On the motion of Mr J.. H. Morgan, the com- mittee were (riven power to act. WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED PAINTERS. The General Purposes Committee recommen- ded that tenders be invited for the painting of the Promenade railings, seats, and shelters. The Rev. Wm. Hughes proposed, as an amend- ment. that, work be carried out by the Council's surveyor, so that tho Council could re- lieve some of the unemployment in the town. If it were done by contract men from other parts of the country might be employed. Mr John Williams seconded, and observed that there was more unemployment amongst the painters of the town at that moment than men of almost any other trade. Mr Dicken said he understood that there was to be a stipulation in the contract that local men be .employed on the work. Mr J. Williams replied that they had had ex- perience of what that meant for the sewerage works, when traiiiis,froni all parts of the country had been engatred. Mr T. If. Morgan supported the motion. Mr E. H. Davies said the Council had no money to throw away on work that was not per- formed satisfactorily, and unless the men em- ploy rd were skilled men he thought the Council would he doing an injustice by the, ratepayers. Mr Charles Reynolds agreed, and pointed out that if they placed a paint brush in the hands of an unskilled man he would not know how nro- peily to use it, with the result that the work done would be worse than bad. The speaker related his experience with two respectably dressed Col- wyn Bay men who had called upon him for em- ployment. I gave them a little immediate help. said Mr Reynolds, and promised them work if they came for it a. few days later. Neither of them have yet turned uP: and I would have found work for two or three days for both of them. The speaker urged the Council to give the work to the skilled men who were out of em- plovment. Mr George Bevan moved that it be made a condition in the contract that only residents of the district be employed on the work. The Clerk said it had been intended to intro- duce a clause of that nature into the contract. On that # understanding, the Rev. William Hughes withdrew his amendment, and the re- port was adopted. EVERARD-ROAD AGAIN. A petition was read from the property owners and residents calling attention to the unsatis- factory state of this road. The Highways Committee reported having in- structed the surveyor to report fully on the matter to the next meeting. Mr T. H. Morgan said a resolution with re- gard to the adoption of Everard-road had been standing on the Council's books for some time, and as the Council were deriving an income of about B200 per annum from the ratepayers living there, he hoped the matter would be pushed for. ward without delay. RHOS RATEPAYERS' PRIVILEGES. A protracted discussion took place on a notice of motion given by Mr Bliss Hill to the effect that the Council took over, under the Private Streets Works Act, Marine-road—from the Rhos Abbey Hotel to the so-called College Avenue— Abbey-road, Colwyn Avenue, Trillo Avenue, and College Avenue, all situated at the Rhos end of tho district, and that they be lighted. At the outset Mr John Williams inquired whether Mr Hill was entitled to bring the ques- tion forward before it had been discussed by the Highway Committee. Mr Hill: The l-lig-h ways Committee are all here. What you suggest is merely delaying the matter. Continuing, Mr Hill said the ratepayers resid- ing in the district affected by his motion contri- buted J3869 14s 8d annually to the funds of the district, and it was obviously unfair that they should be denied the advantages and privileges which others enjoyed, and for which they paid. Mr John Williams: I ask again whether Mr Hill is in order. Mr Hill: I have given notice of motion. Mr Williams: I submit that as he is a mem- ber of the Highways Committee he should bring this matter up there rather than here. If Mr Hill wants to hear himself talking before the Council, it is another matter (laughter). Mr Hill: I think this is the first time I have spoken to-day, and I have been rather thinking that you were rather fond of talking not so long ago (renewed laughter). Proceeding, Mr Hill dwelt upon the danger of going about the roads' in question at night time, and the inconven- ience caused to strangers seeking given addresses when there were neither name plates on the streets nor gas lights to reveal the houses. Mr T. H. Morgan seconded the motion, and pointed out that that was no new subject, for it had been previously introduced by him. The Chairman: Do you blame the Council for this? Mr Mou-gan replied that he blamed nobody, but so long as the Council were receiving so large a sum from the residents concerned he contended the Council should do something for them. Mr Dicken said the roads had not been niade up in accordance with the Council's require- ments. Gas standards and other things should be provided before tlio roads could be taken over, and lighted as suggested by Mr Hill. Mr Reynolds: If these roads were taken over would it cost the Council anyttnng ? The Clerk: If there is any oast incurred we can roooveur it from the owners. Mr Geo. Bevan warned the Council of the difficulties they would have' to contend with if the road;; were taken over as they were. The Council always called upon owners to. provide surface water drains in such cases, and that, con- dition had not been complied with in those in- stances. The Council could not take over roiads in such a wholesale mannej-. lIe, proposed that the matter be referred to the Highways Com- m.t tee- Mr J. A\ illiams seconded, and after some fur- ther discussion this was agreed to. LIGHT RAILWAY EXTENSION. OLD COLWYN ROAD WIDENING. The Surveyor reported that the sub-commit- tee appointed at the last meeting of the Coun- cil had met on the 22nd ult., and considered this matter. Having heard report presen- ted by the surveyor, the sub-committiec peram- bulated the route from Groes to Colwyn, and inspected the various lands and 03rta.:n property at Colwyn, which would have to be acquired. They now recommended the approval of the scheme, and that the necessary steps be taken to further the matter. The report- presented by the Surveyor was as follows:—"In accordance with the instructions received from you at the last Council meeting I submit a plaii ihowing the proposed widening of the Abergele (main) road in view of the ex- tension of the Llandndno and Colwyn Bay tramway from Gro\<; Bridge (the present autho- rised terminus) to the Qucen s Hotel. I have also prepared the following report which de- scribes (!e improvements necessary and gives an approximate estimate of the cost of the pro- posed scheme: From Grocis Bridge to Croes Smithy the road was widened some few years ago to 34 feet, the carriage road being made 22 feci; wide with six feet footpaths on each side, so that between these points it is sufficiently wide for a single line track. At the corner near Groes Bach a very sharp torn in the road takes 140 place, and to avoid the obstructed view of the traffic from both directions, a good wide strip of Ianni would have to be taken from the north side at thisi point, and for this a portion of the o4d laundry premises should be taken down and the area thrown into the road. I believe the Light Railway Company have been m negotia- tion with Sir John E. Barlow for the acquisi- tion of a portion of thi" property for the widen- ing necessa: here- The roadway between the entrance of BrYn Eiriasi and Afon Llwvd varies in width from 16 feet 6 inches to 22 feet 6 inches, with a six foot footpath on the northerly side, but my proposal a3 shown upon the plan now submitted is that t.he carriage road shall be widened to 30 feet with a footpath six feet wide on the noith side, the whole of tine wi<iening being made on that side. I remember when Sir John E. Barlow called on me in November iast that he made it very clear that he could only approve of the land being taken from this side. Bel ween Afotn Llwyd and Hesketh road the roadway varies between 18 feet 6 incthes and 20 feet 9 inches, and I would suggest that the widening* b3 again continued on the north side, the carriage road being made 50 feet wide and a footpath six ieet wuie in addition. The road- way between the private entrance to the houses of Mrs Earp and others, and Minafon road, is very narrow, bJing only 16 feet 9 incihes in paj-ts, and a veif, awkward bend occurs between t points. If possible, 1 would prefer the wideming done on the south side here, so as to straighten the road from its dangerous curve, but, I think that the land could be acquired with loss trouble on the nortih side from the Glan-y-don Plstate, so that I have shown the widening- on that side. Opposite No. I, Marine- terrace, the roadway is only 17 feet 6 inches wide, and opposite the Welsh Congregational Chapel 20 feet. Between th Vicarage wall and the kerb of the footpath on the south side it is only 19 feet. This lengv.h up. to Church Walks shoukl undoubtedly be widened for the safety of the public who traverse this road, the nar- row footway on the south side is only three feet nine inones wide. The widening here could be carried out by taking down and setting back the Vicarage wall on one side, and by tailing down the boundary wall and the acquiring of a strip of land from the Colw\,n. Hou.se property, also from the Colwyn Churchyard on the south side. Some little difficulty might be expexi- erieed in securing a portion of the churchyard for widening purposes. It will, however, be within tihe recollection of some of the members that the widening of this part of the main road was under the serious consideration of the Coun- cil Kwne six years ago, but the matter was not persued with much earnestness at- that time From the Plough Hotel to Colwyn Bridge the width of the main road again varies in different v- I parts, the roadway by the Plough Hotel being only 17 feet 9 inches wide, and the footway four. feet wide. This part could be widened by the acquiring of land from the Min-N-don Estate.- From the Bridge to Wellington road buildings have been erected on both sides of the road, so that it is not possible to improve the existing conditions. From Wellington road to the termi- natiosi of the light railway near the Queen's Hotel, the width of the main road averages about 22 feet, except a point near the Queen's Hotel, where the roadway at present is only 18 feet 5 inches wide. On this length there are no footways, but the Tcouncdl are now inviting ten- ders for the widening and forming of new foot- pathii in front of Mr Heenan's property up to Queen's rood, and in front of the Queen's Hotel, I and a loam has been sanctioned to continue thd widening here from Wynnstay road to the boundary opposite the Welsh Wesleyan Olkap-ol. It would be as wen If a communication was sent to the Conway Rural Council, suggesting! the widening' of the portion of the main road within their district. I estimate the cost of carrying out the widening throughout including! boundary and retaining walls, fencing, kerbiiig, channelling and tar paving, at £ 1887, but this amount doe* not include any sum for the pur- chase of land or for legal or other expenses in acquiring' the same." It was resolved, without discussion, "that thd foregoing scheme be adopted subject to the provision of a footpath nine feet wide; and that the Clerk be instructed to enter into negotiation for purchase of tihe land required en route." Tho Clerk was again directed to press the Tramway Company to extend the line as far as Groes, and to make the contribution stipulated 1 in the agreement with the Council. ADDITIONAL SHELTERS. It was decided to take under consideration the question of providing additional shelter aoo- commodation on the Promenade, and the Sur. veyor was directed to bring in a report on tobtf matter, and also on the proposed extension of the Promenade at Combermere Gardens. NEW HOUSES. Plaiis were approved of the following nmr. property: Senru-dotadhed villas in Everard.- road for Mr Wm. Williams; a detached tiou-4 on the main road at Moobdre for Mr F. G. TY>wnsend; seani-detached villas in Llannerch- road for Mr Albert Sclling; three houses all Mount Pleasant, Old Colwyn, for Mr D. O. Williams, and a house in King's-road for M. W. B. Lucas.

LECTURE AT COLWYN BAY "THE GROWTH OF PAPAL INFLUENCE. The Church Room was well filled on Monday. t evening, when the Vicar (the Rev. Canon H. Roberts) delivered an interestmg lecture illus- trated with limelight views, on 'The Growth of Papal Influence Mr W. R. Hands (people's warden) occupied the chair. At tihe outset, the lecturer remarked that it was not until the time of William the Con- queror's landing' in the country that Catholicism had been introduced into Britain. In the 9th century, when the Danes invadod the country, they burned and pillaged churches, and at that time Church life was at a very low ebb. But there was no interference from the Church of Rome. This Island maintained the independ- ence of its Church, wliidh was acknowledged as a true branch of the Holy Catholic and Aposto- lic Church, though that did not affect her pcei- tion in any respect. William the Conqueror appointed Normans as Bishops, but clearly gave them to understand that thety were to observe the independence of the National Church, ihe battle oi Hastings was fought under a banner blessed by the Pope, who wanted the "Con- queror" to do homage to him for the Kingdom. Uiiis, however, William refused to do. ihe Norman architect's and builders at that time re-built many churches and cathedrals. borne yea.rs ago, said the l'pe, when Mr Asquith broujght in a bill tor the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church in W ales, the dis- establishment party went so far as to say that they wetre going to talie away the Cathedrals from them, and endeavoured to prove that tine Roman Catholics had built the Cathedrals. Thia was eu-roneous, as those beautiful churches were r built before the papal influence was felt in tho country. Continuing, lie &-iid th,at one v< ry, important change was made by the Conqueror, which played directly into the hands of the Pope. Until that time all peoplo had to be tried in civil courts, but the Conqueror made a law which demanded that clergy should be tried in their own courts. This led to much trouble between the Chusnh and State, and very often a third party had to be called in to settle dis- putes. Matters were referred to Rome for de- cision, and thus the Pope began to interfere. The speaker then proceeded to show how Papal power was gradually gaineo in the country, througth the indiscretion* of the various mon- archs, until the timta of the Reformation. Deal- in.g with the Chu'rejes in Wales, the speaker showed that until 1115 the St. David's Diocese was quite independent of tihe Archbishop of Canterbury, and of any interference from the Pope, and Aiat it was in the 12th century that the Churcha-s of Wales were united to those of England- In conclusion, the Vicar said it was all very well for N oneon form is is to say that theirs were Free Churches, but thoiy were not so "free. The clergy of the Church of England might be Radicals it they chose, and they could go about the country and speak upon Radical policies. If, howe\er, a Nonconformist minister did not hold with the views of his people, they woul starve him in a very short, time (hear, hoar)* The Church of England was still the Churott of England, aind as long as it continued it would be a safeguard against the Church of Rome. But if the Churoh were Disestablished it would be the opening of the door to allow the entrance of the Roman Church.
