Conway Town Council. The Engineer's Commission. Letting the Quarries. No "House of Lords" Wanted. A SPECIAL meeting- of this Council was held at the Guild Hall on Thursday evening last to con- sider Mr Sellars' and, Mr Gardner's alterations to their draft leases concerning the letting of the quarries, and to sign the general district rate at 6s 6d in the £ for the ensuing year. The mem- bers present were the Mayor (Mr Albert Wood, J.P., D.L.), Aldermen Hugh Hughes, F. Hadley, and H. Jones, Mr R. S. Chamberlain, Dr R. A. Prichard, Mr J. E. Conway-Jones, Mr Llewelyn Jones, Mr Emanuel Jones, Mr James Porter, Mr A. J. Oldman, Mr Hugh Abram, Mr Edward Roberts, Mr John Williams, Mr Thos. Foulkes, with the town clerk (Mr T. E. Parry), the sur- veyor (Mr Delamotte), and other officials. Medical Visitors. Dr Prichard observed at the outset that the members of the British Medical Association met in Manchester in July, and from there they would be making visits to several parts of the country. As Conway would be amongst the places visited, he asked the Corporation if they would kindly allow ,admission to the Castle free to them that day. Doubtless they would receive a good return for it. Alderman Hughes moved that the request be granted. Alderman Hadley seconded, and this was agreed to. Kindness of Academicians. Mr Conway Jones said he would like to call the attention of the Council to the kindness of the President and members of the Royal Cam- brian Academy in granting free passes to the councillors for the art gallery at Plas Mawr. He moved that they acknowledged the kindness formally. Mr Porter seconded, and added he had per- sonally acknowledged the receipt of his own, but it would be only fair that the same thing be made by the Council. This was carried unanimously. A Quid Pro Quo. Alderman Hughes suggested that in return the members of the Academy be offered free admis- sion to the Castle on presentation of their cre- dentials. The Mayor said he understood that that had always been permitted. Alderman Hughes said he did not recall a formal resolution to that effect. That being so, he moved that a record of such resolution be placed on the Council's minute-books. This was agreed to. No House of Lords" for Conway. PETITION FOR PUBLIC MEETING IGNORED. The Mayor reported the receipt of a petition si'gned by some sixteen people requesting him. to call a public meeting in the near future for the purpose of discussing the question of letting the quarries, and giving the public certain informa- tion concerning the terms offered by the Council in regard to the leases and those of the appli- cants. It was also explained that the petition was presented on the application of a town's meeting held previously. Mr Chamberlain said that if the petitioners took the other business of the Council off their hands they might as well have it. The Mayor: Surely they don't expect us to bring up the whole business for them to see Mr Emanuel Jones: It is because we are having an election very soon; nothing else. (Laughter.) Mr Chamberlain said he did not think the re- quest should be granted, as they could not divulge the proceedings on foot between the Council and the applicants. The Mayor: I'll have to grant it. Mr Chamberlain dissented. Alderman Hughes moved that application be granted. The Mayor If this petition is in order, I am bound to grant it. The Clerk, in response to the Mayor's request, then read a resolution on the Council's minutes to the effect that if an application were made by ten or twenty ratepayers for a public meeting, it should be granted. The Mayor There's no doubt this is simply for electioneering purposes. Alderman Hughes said he did not think they would lose anything by granting the applica- tion. The Mayor remarked that that sort of thing was like having a House of Lords ruling over them, and he did not agree with it. Two or three of the signatories to that petition had been disaRpointed candidates at the last election, and were probably elective candidates for the next. Peurile "Onslaught" on the Press. Mr Conway Jones quite agreed with the gen. eral idea of the petitioners, that more notice should be taken of the proceedings of the Coun- cil. He had been personally charged with having not carried out the wishes of his electors in regard to the letting of the quarries. He had been accused of having not supported the appli- cations, and complaints had been made to him that he was not in favour of encouraging the cause of the working man. As a matter of fact, at the previous meeting of the Council he had definitely expressed his opinion in favour of let. ting the quarry to Mr Sellars, but not a word of his statement had appeared in the press, and he did not think that the proceedings of the Coun- cil should be ignored to the extent it was by the local press. They liad discussed the quarry ques. tion at Council meetings for a long time past. Had proper notice of the proceedings appeared, there would, in all probability, have been no such meeting as that held on the previous night. As it was, all he saw the reporters do was copy- ing the minutes of committee meetings, and if a member made a rude remark that was reported, whilst if anyone said anything sensible that was omitted. (Laughter.) Alderman Hughes then amended his motion, and moved that the use of the Town Hall be granted for a public meeting. Mr Llewelyn Jones seconded, and this was carried. The Mayor: I shan't call a public meeting, then. Let them call their own meeting. A Retort. A member pointed out the desirability to hold someone responsible for the use of the hall on the night of the meeting. Mr Chamberlain Lloyd George is not com- ing, is he? Alderman Hughes Perhaps Mr Chamberlain is. (Loud laughter.) The Rate. The general district rate of 6s 6d in the £ and the borough rate of is were ordered to be sealed, on the motion of Mr Porter. The Engineer's Commission. "A MORAL UNDERSTANDING." The question of whether the engineer (Mr Delamotte) had been promised a commission upon his work in regard to the gasworks im- provements was considered at length. It was reported that some of the councillors had paid a visit to the works during the after- noon, but no one seemed able to give an esti- mate of what had been done. A balance in hand amounting to Zi,262 IOS iod was reported in connection with the work at the gasworks, the work having been overesti- mated to that extent. At the request of the Mayor, Mr Delamotte pre- sented a statement of accounts for the work done. The Engineer further reported that the work had not yet been quite completed. Mr Conway Jones thought, in view of this, that the further consideration of the matter should be deferred until the work had been finished, and he moved to that effect. Mr Chamberlain said the matter directly before them was whether their predecessors on the Council had made some arrangement with Mr Delamotte with reference to a commission, hon- orarium, or gratuity for the work he had per- formed. He had been told that Mr Delamotte's appointment was made on condition that no commissions were given. He (Mr Chamberlain) asked whether the plans of the works had been prepared by the Council's former engineer or not. The Mayor: Well, who made these plans? Mr Delamotte I did. The Mayor: Are you a gas engineer? Mr Delamotte I suppose I am. Alderman Hugh Hughes seconded Mr Conway Jones's motion. Mr Conway Jones added that he had no objec- tion to give Mr Delamotte an honorarium if the Council found it the right thing to do. All he wanted was the provision of a better statement of account and a completion of the work. Mr Edward Roberts agreed with this, and added that there was one room the ventilation of which had not been completed, while there were other things which also remained unfin- ished. Mr Oldman said it was only right to see that they were provided with specifications before anything further was done. There was some further discussion as to whether the old Council had promised an honorarium to the engineer, and Mr Porter asked whether any of the old members could vouchsafe any information. Dr. Prichard said he was present at the ap- pointment of Mr Delamotte, and he understood that he was appointed at a specified salary, and that he could devote his whole time to the Cor- poration. He had not heard anything subse- quent to that. The Mayor: I have heard outside that Mr Delamotte's salary was increased on account of the extra work done by him. Mr Chamberlain: And there was an assistant kept by us while this work was in progress. Mr John Williams maintained he was under the impression that there was some sort of a promise made to Mr Delamotte. He recollected that there had been some talk of an agreement, and the advertisement which appeared in the papers seeking a man for the post. It was then pointed out that in the advertisement there was no mention of anything except "taking charge of ,a gasworks." When Mr Delamotte undertook the work he (Mr Williams) believed there was a moral understanding that if Mr Delamotte car- ried out the work satisfactorily his services 'would be recognised by the Council. There was no sum mentioned. Alderman Hughes remarked that he had deter- mined upon proceeding with the gasworks matter before he left the chair. There was some hitch, and he recollected there was some, indistinct promise made. Mr Chamberlain: eventually moved that Mr Delamotte be given an honorarium of 5° guineas for his work. They had been paying for an: as- sistant for him in connection with his other work, and he thought that that would be quite sufficient. Alderman Hughes pointed out that the assist- ant only cost them-a guinea a week, while a clerk -of works would cost them at least £ 2 los. Mr Porter said the proper time to pay archi- tects and engineers was when their work was completed. He had accompanied the other members down to the gasworks that day. They had enjoyed the fresh air and other pleasure's perfectly—(laughter)—but they could not judge upon the work done. He was not opposed to giving Mr Delamotte an honorarium, but they must surely wait for the completion of the con- tract. It was subsequently decided to await the com- pletion of the work. Quarry Letting. QUESTION PRACTICALLY DECIDED. A LITTLE "BREEZE." Mr John S. Sellars again wrote regarding the leasing of Anwell's Quarry, suggesting the further amending of the amended draft lease which had been sent by the Council on the 22nd May last. It would require alteration by the re- instatement of the words "sand, gravel, and other mineral," which the Council had deleted. It was obvious, said Mr Sellars, that if the quarry was to be worked, sand, gravel, and other material overlying the stone must be removed, and it would be better for both parties to dispose of this if possible. Alderman Hughes moved that the deleted words referred to be reinstated. Whatever Mr Sellars took he would be paying for it. Mr John Williams seconded. The Clerk suggested the 'suspension of the standing orders, if they were going to rescind the previous resolution of the Council. Mr Porter did not think that was necessary, because those were only negotiations. Mr Chamberlain favoured the substitution of the quoted words by the words "overlying material." He asked whether it was intended to give (Mr Sellars the right to remove anything and- everything he got there. The Mayor: We are bound to give him a right of way to the rock. Alderman Hughes I take it our solicitor will see to that. The Mayor: Yes. Alderman Hughes then moved that the Council agreed to the text of the proposed amendment, and that the Council's solicitor be given a free hand to settle the matter finally. Dr. Prichard seconded, and the motion was carried nem. con., the Mayor observing that Mr Sellars had now come to the terms the Council originally advertised. W_ Mr Chamberlain I object to a statement made by a councillor sitting by my side, Mr Mayor. The Mayor: What was that? Mr Chamberlain It was spoken too low for you to hear. Mr Oldman suggested something and said, "I congratulate you upon the wind having changed so favourably. (A laugh). The Mayor Oh I don't care. Mr Chamberlain said that if people who came in there did not hold the same political views and opinions as others they stood the risk of being insulted in that fashion, and he protested against it. Mr Oldman Those who speak so loud should be careful of their own counsel. The Mayor: You have often done the same thing. It has always been my earnest endeavour to make a bargain for the Corporation. I have had a great deal to do with the purchasing of propery in my time—more than anybody in this room, I believe—and' I know it is a matter with which one has to be very careful. Mr Gardner's Application. Copies of the terms of the lease, as amended, between. Mr R. Gardner and the Council, in re- ference to the china stone quary, were distributed amongst the members. Mr John Williams (perusing a copy) Mr Gardner is coming back to our terms, I believe, Mr Mayor? The Mayor: That is so. Alderman Hughes hinted they dealt with that document as they had done with that of Mr Sellars'. All they had to do, he took it, was to decide the question of acreage. Mr Llewelyn Jones: And the royalty. Alderman Hughes Yes; we could take that, too. Mr Gardner applied for 22 acres to work upon, while the Council offered ten acres. There was a difference of 2d per ton between the parties on the royalty in question. Alderman Hughes pointed out that Mr Gardner abided by the most objectionable point of the agreement, and that was the agreement that he would not convey any materials or open kilns on the Morfa side of the mountain. Mr Conway Jones Do I understand that Mr Hughes means us to settle the amount of the royalty now? Alderman Hughes: Yes. Mr Conway Jones I have no objection. Alderman Hughes then moved that a royalty of 4d per ton be charged Mr Gardner for every- thing he took away from the mountain. There was an understanding with Mr Gardner to that effect in the first instance. Dr. Prichard He does not take anything away but sand and gravel. Alderman Hughes: Well, if he does not take it away he does not pay for it. At the instance of Mr Chamberlain, Alderman Hughes accepted the wording of the phrase con- cerning the royalty payment so as to make it read "materials taken away except metallic ores." Mr Edward, Roberts seconded the motion. The motion was then put to the meeting, and carried. Messrs Hadley, Porter, and Chamber- lain, with Dr. Prichard, voted again&t it. In reference to the question of acerage, Alderman Hughes moved that ten acres be granted, excluding that portion of the mountain requisite for the erection of machinery, etc. Dr. Prichard seconded. Mr Oldman moved, as an amendment, that 22 acres be granted. No seconder to the amendment forthcoming it fell through. The motion was then put to the meeting and carried, it being also resolved that the solicitor be instructed to watch the interests of the Coun- cil in reference to the employment of labour. It was felt that a guarantee should be given that a large number of labourers be engaged upon the works in order to help the trade of the town. An Application. The use of the Town Hall was granted on the ap- plication by the County Council on the occasion of an inquiry into the proposed increase of the number of Guardians on the Conway and other Boards, and a number of the Councillors were appointed to attend the inquiry to watch the interests of the borough. North Wales Dog Show. The committee of this show wrote applying for the use of the Town Hall for the purpose of holding this year's show there on the 31st August next. The application was granted.

Welsh Patagonians Trekking." Journeying to Canada. By the Allan liner "Numidian," which left the Mersey on Thursday, for Quebec and Montreal, there departed for Canada, there to start life afresh, the 250 Welsh Patagonian colonists who arrived in .Liverpool a few days previously from the Chubut Valley, by the Pacific Steam Naviga- tion Company's steamer "Orissa." During th "¡r stay in the port they were accommodated in houses by the Allan Line. From various parts of North Wales friends travelled to meet the colonists, and many remained to bid' them fare- well. In the morning a special farewell Communion service was held in the St. David's Welsh Church, when a number of the colonists at- tended. An impressive address was delivered by Canon Walter Thomas, of Holyhead, who was assisted in the service by the Rev. James Davies (vicar). At about 10.30 the work of conveying the emigrants in waggonettes to the Alexandra Dock, where the "Numidian" was lying, was commenced, and the embarkation was quickly carried out, special care being bestowed on the many little children included in the party. The embarkation arrangements were superintended by Mr W. L. Griffith, Canadian Government agent for Wales. Mr John Ennis, of the Allan Line, had made most satisfactory arrangements for the comfort and the conveni- ence of the colon,ists. Amongst those who assembled at the dock whilst the embarkation was proceeding were Canon Thomas and the Rev. James Davies, together with many friends, During the day a letter was received by Mr Griffith from Sir John Llewellyn, Bart., chair- man of the Welsh Patagonian Commitee, who have raised the funds for transporting the colonists from Patagonia to Canada, in which he expressed sincere good wishes for their future happiness and welfare. He also said that any further news of their movements would be wel- come, not only to himself, but to thousands of others in Wales and elsewhere who were taking a deep interest in this historic trek. He was convinced that the lesson was being deeply driven home in all parts of the world that the truest liberty was to be found under the Union Jack. The colonists will disembark at Quebec.
