PREBTATYN URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. PROPOSED NEW ROAD FROM GRONANT TO RHYL. PUBLIC LIBRARY WANTED. TOWN BOWLING GREEN SUGGESTED. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Monday evening, when there were present: Messrs Henry Wriight (cliairman), C. M. Hop- wood, T. Pennant Williams, William Inglefield, G. W. Jones, J. Bonn, A. Caradoc Williams, Thomas Jones, J. B. Linnell, and John Pritchard, with the Clerk (Mr John Hughes) and the Sur- veyor, Sanitary Injector, and Gas Manager (Mr F. Wilkinson). THE NEW PUMPING MACHINERY. In the report of the Inspector, it was stated that the installing of the new engine was now completed at the. pumping station, and that the pumps had been enlarged. It had not been pos- sible to carry out test-pumping owing to the ex- cessive rainfall, but he was safe in saying that the lifting capacity of the pumps had been in- creased threefold, and this should minimise the possibility of flood-ng to a proportion-ate degree. A SATISFACTORY HEALTH BILL. The Surveyor reported that the district still retained its enviable immunity from notifiable illness. Mr A. Caradoc Williams said the recent exces- sive amount of rain had resulted in a considor- able amount of water covering large stretches of low-lying land, and some provision should be made to get rid of it. If the flooding was al- lowed to go on, the subsoil water level would be rased all over the district, thereby endanger- ing the health of the community ctonsidera.bly. He suggested that the Council approach the land- owners and others interested in the flooded land with the view of getting the watercourses cleared out and put in a fit condition. If they allowed the thing to get beyond its early stages they would be very sorry for it in years to come. The matter was referred to a committee. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that since the last meet- ing Pendre Avenue and Fforddlas had been cleared up, and the end of Sandy Lane was re- ceiving attention. He hoped to make up that portion of Mar.ne-road from Hafod-road to Bod- nant Avenue during the next few weeks. He also asked for instructions as to the acquisition of land extending from Mr Lavender's property to the end of Mr Normansell's. He suggested that tho Council made aon offer to execute the work, which when carried out would tend alike to the benefit of both parties concerned. It was decided to act on the suggestion of the Surveyor. THE PLEASURE GROUND. The Surveyor was directed to submit a report to the next meeting of the Road and Improve- ment Committee on the fencing of the pleasure ground. WATER AND LIGHTING MATTERS. It was stated that although the extension of the rna;:n. in Highbury-avenue had been com- menced, the work had been delayed owing to the flooded state of the land, a-nd with regard to the extension in Preswylfa-road the work had not been commenced as the necessary agreements ha I Tiot been entered into. With regard to the dis- s&tisfaction expressed in certain cases as to the oewt of ne-, services owing to the mains being on the opposite aide of the street in some in- etances, the Engineer suggested that it would be more equitably to measure all services in the future from the centre of the road and to charge fcr all exccss over 30ft. The Gas Committee recommended the carrying out of these suggestions, and this was agreed to. The make of gas for the past month was re- ported to be 699,000 cubic feet, as against 619,000 for the corresponding period last year, an in- crease of 13 per cent. FINANCE. It was reported that S747 lis 5d had been ool- Icct0d during the month, and that the total sum collected for the financial voar was R5915 15s 5d. PUBLIC LIBRARY MOOTED. A letter was read from the Prestatyn Cymro- dorion Society suggesting to the Council the advi- sability of securing- for the town a public library. Early attention to the matter, said the writer, was desirable, inamudl as Mr Carnegie, if ap- proached, would undoubtedly, as he had done in other places, generously undertake to-defray the whole cost of the necessary buildings, provided 3 sutabi-Zte was found by the town. A library would be an immense oovantage to the town-an attraction to visitors in the summer and a boon 10 r and blessing to the young people of the town and surrounding district. Mr Inglefield said th's was a matter he had had in his mind for some time, and by a coincidence he had in his pocket a notice of a motion which he intended to bring forward at the next monthly meeting of the Council. It was to the effect that the Council should resolve to adopt the Libraries Act and appeal to Mr Carnegie for his help in the erection of a librarv for the town; further, that they should consider the question of erect- ing the buildings on the public ground in Stetion- road, and of laying out a portion of the ground as a bowling green; also that the Chairman of the Council be asked to convene a public meet- ing to discuss the matter. The matter was referred to a committee. RHYL TO G HON A NT ROAD. It was reported that ai special me-c-ting of the Council had been he'd for the purpose of oon- tidcriijg a communication. from the County Council rtxi'iierfing that a resolution bo passed by this Council in support of the County Coun- cil's application to the Roa,d Board for a. grant in aid of tho above se-herme. On the motion of Mr Bewn, seoondied by Mr Linneli, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "That this Council be.gs most respectfully to support the application of the Flintshire County Council for a, grant towards the construction of a new road from Grona.nt to Rhyl, a distance of 5 males. Tho proposed new road has been under consideration 'for years past, but. the expense involved was such that tlie auth-or-Ities concerned were not in a position to undertake the liability. In view of the passing of tho Development and Road Improveroetnits Act, 1909, we think that this proposed new road is one which the Road IJoard would be justified in living effect ro as meeting the purpose and spirit of 1 tlie Act. Tho proposed new road will a\o.d villages and exceptionally dangerC'OS corners, and reduce the distance by 24 miles. We trust that the appli- 4 cation will receive consideration at their hands." Tho Town Clerk said that since the Council met to pass the foregoing resolution he had re-oi'ved from the County Council a letter to the effect that the amount cf the grant which the Roadl iyoa.rd would probably be in a potion to allocate to the county was £ 1,E00. This being totally inadequate, it had! been decided by the County Cour.ou to appeal to the. Road Board for more liberal trea-tmeaiir. by means of a depu- j tation consisting of Messrs W. Y. Hargreaves (ohairman of the County Council). Hugh Pi-el .-a,' U.1 (chairman of the Main Reads Comuittee), J. Herbert L2W.:Ø, M.P., J W. Summers, M.P., and H. A. Tilby, with (lie County Surveyor (Mr S. Evans) and the Clerk of the County Council (Mr Bromley). It had also been decided to in- vite. the Chairman of the Rhyl and Prestatyn Urban District Cousicds and the Holyweil andl St. Asaph Ri- ral District Councils) to join tho depu- tation. Mr Inglefield said ho thought there was suffi- cient weight and strength of eloquence about the deputation without any of them incurring further exncnw in connection with the matter (hear, hear). He moved that, they leave the matter to tho County Council deputation. Mr Linnel said they certainly-had an oppor- tunity here of saving £ 5, and he thought it. could b:i done without aaiy fear of detriment to the towi. Mr Berm proposed that the Chairman join the deputation. They ha..di all along supported the scheme very heartily, and they ehould not show a.ny lukewarmness now. Mr '1.

RHYL JUVENILE CHOIR. ENJOYABLE CONCERT AT THE PAVILION. THE COST OF COMPETITION. The concert given in the New Pavilion, Rhyl, on Thursday evening by the Rhyl Juvenile Choir, under the oonductorship of Mr B. Wadsworth, was a great success, and those who did not at- tend, thinking that the concert would be "an ordinary affair by children," lost a treat through misapprehension. Mr Wadsworth has for many months cllevotod a great deal of time and atten- tion to the choir, and he has trained their voices in a really noteworthy manner, and at the close Mr Wadsworth was congratulated on a.11 sides for the great musical treat tie had g;ven the audience. There were several other entertaining items in- troduced into the programme, including the tableaux "Santa Claus." Mr J. D. Asher had assisted in setting about the stage for this in a very taking manner. The scene represented a. bedroom witii little children in bed awaiting the arrival of Father Christmas, suitable verses being sung to illustrate the wishes of the little sleepers, who had hung up their stockings in anticipation of the good things to come. That a choir of children "ranging from 10 to 16 years of age could give such capital renderings of "The Hallelujah Chorus," "He gave them hailstones" (Handel), Elgar s charming song, "Land of Hope and Gfory," Cowen's "Bettor Land," and Balfo's Excelsior," spoke eloquently for the work of the conductor. In each of these pieces the choir sang admirably, and were encored on each occa- sion. The expression was very One, particularly in "The Better La.d." The large audience were obviously delighted with their two-hours- and-a-half programme, the scene changed to Christmas morning, and the children were shown with the toys, etc., Santa Claus had brought. A humorous piece representing the Suffragette movement caused much amusement. The full programme was as follows:—Chorus, Hail, merry playtime" (T. Price), the choir: solo, "The songs the children sing (Moir), Miss Dorothy Jones; duet, "The Admiral's Broom," the choir; song (with harmonised chorus), "I,and of hope and glory" (Elgar); ,bet on two pianos, "Concerto in G minor" (Mendelssohn), Miss Hughes and Mr Wadsworth burlesque Suffragette song, "Could we but rule;" duet (mandoline and piano), "Marl- borough MtiTch," Misses Cartledge and Pryce; part song, "Month of May," the choir; chorus, "Hallclujah" (Handel), the choir; song, "The Children's Home," the choir; tableaux, "Santa Claus;" double oiiorus (six-part harmony), "He gave them hailstones" (Handel); duet, hJixed- sior" (Bal e; nursery rhymes (Sir C. Viiliers Stanford), (a.) Rcek-a-bye Baby," (b) "Jiittle Willie Winkie," (c) "Four and twenty tailors," (d) "If all the seas were one sea;" National Eis- fod Tests, (a) "What can lambkins do" (Coleridge Taylor); (b) "In the snow" (Pedr Alaw); song, "Daddy" (Moir), Master Gerald Edwards; song (arranged), "The Better Land" (Cowen), the choir. "God save the King" the choir sang two verses in three-part harmony. PRESENTATION OF MEDALS. nd During the evening Mr W. J. P. Storey pre- sented each member of the choir with a silver medal with the initid" of the recipient engraved thereon. He also presented Mr B. Wadsworth (conductor), and Miss Mabe] Hughes (accompan- ist) with gold medals of like design. In making the prcsent-at on, Mr Storey sarid they were trying to do honour where honour was certainly due (app'ause). In doing so he thought they would be following in sate footsteps, for would they not be treading in the 'footsteps of the adjudi- cators not only of the, National Eisteddfod of Wales, but of many other eit-teddfodau held within tho last two ycar'S? The choir was forined about two years ago to compete at the Rhyl Box- ing Day Eisteddfod, at which it took the third prize. Since that first appearance the choir had taken part in many eist 'ddfodau. and on no oc- ca.s.on had it taken a prize lower than the second, while on several occasions it had been awarded the first pri7e (applause). All would agree with him that the attempt of the choir to take a prize at the National Eisteddfod in September last was a somewhat heavy task, and there were not a few in Rhyl who, when they heard that medals were to be given to the members if they took a prize r.ot lower than a second, imagined that those medals would never leave the jeweller's shop. But the choir had1 actually been sufficiently efficient to take the second prize at the National Eisteddfod, and aft:T what the audience had heard of thoir abil. Lei that evening they would wonder how it v. that the adjudicators could have withheld the first prize from them (hear, hear). He was sure all had listened to the choir that evening with the same amount of pleasure, and it must have crossed their minds, as it had crossed liis, that they were not only being taught to carry on the work which the elementary schoolmaster seemed to have so well done in grounding them in music, but they were also being taught patriotic sent men ts, as was shown by their renderings of "The Admiral's Breem" and that beautiful song of Elgar's, "Land of Hope and Glol y." They were there that even- ing to thank Mr Wadsworth personally if or the care and attention and perseverance and skill he had "hoWIJ in bringing the choir to finch a state of excellence. He had often wondered where all the elementary school training in music went to, and lie personally was very grateful to Mr Wadsworth for coming forward to see that that trainng was not altogether wasted (applause). In the short time hc choir had been in existence they had done admirably, and the town, he was sure, was immensely proud of them and their conductor (cheers). In Rhyl they had a Choral Society yet out of 9010 inhabitants it was diffi- cult to get a choir of 120 young people who would take up the study and training wh'ch the Choral Society gave. But he looked forward to the time when the members of Mr^wadsworth's Juvenile Choir would be drafted into th-e Choral Soeicty, and be of benefit to themselves and others (applause). Mr Wadsworth's choir was composed of children between the ages of 10 and 16 years—the latter being the I'm it for juvenile competitions- -so that a conductor d d not have much choice, and the leader of the choir had shown what perseverance- end patience oould do in bringing a choir to a h igh state of efficiency (applause). Mr \Vaå2:wO\-tn, in thanking Mr Storey for presenting the rnrdals, said that was not the only occasion on which that gentleman had taken an interest in the choir, as he had attended several of the practie. It was a difficult matter to keep a choir of children in a high state of efficiency, and the responsibility would be greater in the future with t choir, as having won at the National Eisteddfod other choirs would be anxious to defeat them. lie had taken the full finarc'al responsibility of the choir, and did the training as a hobby. Some people thought that the prizes won by, choirs paid all expenses, but he knew from experience that that was not the case. The pr ze Avon at the National Eisteddfod did not pay his out-of-pocket expenses, and lie knew for a fact tint tint although the first prize was only £10, at least one choir sp >nt S80 in their endeavour to win it. He was pleased that the singing of the choir was appreciated, and it was grat-ieying to receive, as he had done, expressions of gratifio- t on of the work of the choir from such gentlemen as Mr L. J. Roberts, H.M.I.S. (applause). Bxk prizes Avero also presents'! to the folioAV- 'n,; members of the choir who had been in,stru- in Tital in Rell'ng the mot t/ckcls:—Caradoc Ro- berts, Laura Danks, Sarah Evans, Edith Robin- SOD.

RHYL U RBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. ENTERTA,INMENTS IN THE PAVILION AND GARDENS. NEXT SEASON'S ARRANGEMENTS DISCUSSED. (From Our Reporter). A special meeting of the Rhyl Urbaii District Council was heiLdi yesterday (Wedineisd'ay)1 evening for the purpose of considering' the lifrauvgeinents for the Pavilion and Gardens next scajoTi- The Council a few days ago had an interview with Mr Barinig (whose firm have the Pavilion and Gardens for another year by arrangement wath the Council). At. the interview it was suggested that there ,hc,uldachange in the ar, and the meeting' yesterday was caded to consider Mr Baring's offer. Mr LJew. B. Evans was voted to the chair (t!he chairman, Mr A. R.hydwen Jones, not I)--ing present at iihe opening of the proceedings), and there 7/ere also; proocrut: fiJr. II U.gho..3 Jones, Messrs G. A. Taverner, J. Frimston, S. Perks, J. H. Ellis, Edmund Hughes, J. Buckley Jones, E. D. Evans, E. G. Evans, A. Gheetbam, F. Phillips, 1. Batho and T. D. Jones, with tihe ofFicia2s. PROPOSAL TO DISCUSS MATTER IN COMMITTEE. Mr Cheatham moved that the Council should resolve itself into committee, as he considered it was not desirable that they sh-endd1 discuss, negotiations pubiicly. Tho decision of tlie Council couid afterwards be oomnruinicatod to the Press. Mr K. Phillips seconded. Mr Perks sivid he did not, consider there was any ncoeesity to gt* into committee. It wlas a question wiiefcher they should accept certain terms. Mr Batho said he did not think thai they should publicly discuss tlie maitfcer. Mr Buckley Jones said they wanted to dis- cuss an offer, and if the Press were present they might just as well have the otlier party present a,o. It was not busioccs to discuss such masters publicly. Mr Ellis said die public were taking a great interest in the matter, and they had a right .y to know what w«s goinig on. He believed ihati they fihould approach the matter -fcorJcB-ily, and he wa^ sure t<h^i.t if they took the pub'LC into their oonfider.ee they Avould agree Avith what tihey did. He hopia4 the mci-ioon would be with- drawn. Mr Cheetham said he was wlilin-9 to with- draw, but it was a question whether by publicJy dtnaeHirg it they were servkng tihe best interests of Rhyl, a.* the matter would havo a wider pub liicity thar¡ in the town itself. Mr Phillips was williaig to w.'rfidnavv if tho majority thought fit. Mr Buckley Janes U "<e.d that tlbe Ccwmcil shfuild not disowB it publicly, and he moved that they go into committee, but as no secon-ded the propceail the matter was puibLiclv discuesed. MESSRS BARING BROS.' OFFER. The following is a summary of the letter whleh was piaccd before the meeting from Messrs Baring Bros. :—For an im.mediate cash payment of £ 100 Messrs Baring were willing to cancel their agreement, but the Council would Itavo to tafc-e over their contracts for next season, whicti were definite for twelve weeks, and four other1 weeks contracts were out for signature; there j were also three special day visits (provided tho firm were not able to cancel or transfer the con- tracts elsewhere). This offer to remain open for three weeks from the 16th inst. The alternative proposal was for the Council to take the gardens 10 from the east of the pavilion, barricade that por- tion off, open the east entrance, and to take the gardens refreshment rooms, paying for light and upkeep of the gardens, etc. The Council to pro- vide a band for week-days, but not to have voca lists or to run other attractions; the Council's band to give a concert in the Pavilion each Sun- day evening (except on any Sunday when Messrs Baring were able to arrange for some special at- traction or "star" oonccrt party), and on Sun- days the Council Avould take one-third tfi the gross receipts in lieu cf the 15 per cent.. (sub- scribers to Pavihon free as usual). If the Coun- cil decided to take the gardens Mofwrs Baring would net run bands in the Pavilion against them, but that would not apply to the one or two engagements during the season thly may make tor special day visits of well-known bands but only to bands for a week or more. If this arrangement were carried out some understand- ing should b0 come to so that PavilionTibsoribers should have acocss to the gardens, the Council taking part of th<.ir admission mcncy. The Council to use the same form of programme as Messrs Baring, paying for filling in, etc., and the same advertisirg boards to be used outside the I it! gardens as last year by the firm. If the Council desired to run any special attraction in the gar- dens, or even a vocalist now and again, Messrs Baring would be open to some arrangement with them to db so, subject to their keeping faith with the Pavilion attractions. On wet mornings (and afternoons when the Pavilion is not engaged) no doubt they could arrange for the band to per- form there on sharing terms as suggested for Sunday. This offer as to the gardens was open for four weeks, but the whole offer was strictly Avithout prejudice. The Town Clerk next read a letter from the Ratepayers' Association urging the Council to secure an efficient band for the whole CM next ea- son for the gardens from as early a date as pos- sible, and to continue to the end of the season. Mr Perks said he had read and considered the letter from Messrs Baring Bros., and he would not be disposed to entertain it unless it was varied. He agreed that it was desirable that ti e Council should secure poss-ersion of the Pavilion and Gardens as scon as they could, and that tL-1 slwuld revert to the original intention of the build,ng, viz., the holding of high-class concerts there (hear, hear). The Council start,ed all right, but they were induced after on-o season to go to the variety fort of entertainment. It was lamentable that they should use a building cost ing £ 20,COO for that sort of thing, and it was against the b::st interests of Rhyl that it should be ÐJ. Ho was not prepared to take over the contracts oi Messrs Baring, and he moved that the Council offer them £ 50 to rescind, the agree- ment. There was no s cornier, and the m,1j,;(¡Jl dropped BAND AND VOCALISTS. Mr J. H. Ellis, Avhile agreeing with Mr Perks as to the original intention of the Council with regard to the Pavilion, did not, think that they could go into the cancelling of the agreement on the terms suggested, but he desired that Hiey should secure the gardens on the terms men teonod, subject to eortain detei's being altered He believed that a fine band in the gardens wo-ild be a source of attraction to visitors, and he proposed that they offer Messrs Baring tc take the gardens from them provided the Conn cil were at liberty to engage vocalists and to sett'e other details. He suggested that tbey should have a vocalist for three nights each week—Friday, Saturday, and Monday—and they might offer tlie vocalist to the Pavilion for Sun days. They had heard a great deal about th-j Avay the. Council managed the place, and the pre- sent position showed the ratepayers the difference between what the Council and a pri\rate firm had done. They oould during next season take the management into their own hands and make ar- rangements for the future well to time, and not wait until the best p-ople were picked up. He believed that the Council would be able to pro- vide concerts in the gardens which would be satisfactory to the public. Mr Frimston aAed what the details were Avhidi Mr Ellis suggested, but Mr Ellis re- plied that it was premature to discuss tix-m. Let them get trie gardens first, and they c-.uld (settle details afterwards. They .imsrt I avo vccc.iisis as well as a band. Mr T. D. Jones seconded Mr Ellis, and said that last year tho Uomrvcil paid 9175 towards the band, and be. felt tha.t they would have to pay again this year for a. band, but. he did; not agree with the Ratei'/iyens' Association as to the band being there tho hldl sc-eeon. Mr E. G. Evan:? aked for Vthat period Messrs Baring Avould provide a regular band next sea- Fl-ll. MV L'ew. B. Evans replied that they would not. provide a ba.n,d for so. long as last. year. Mr Buckley cLdi not cc.nsid'or the Coun- cil was j unified in cats ring for a few people, and felt that, fchey should ha-v ■ ia the peace variety and', high-doss concerts. He considered that tho Pavilion and Gardens, .*> fir r.j m" .iso.-n ticket 'holders were concerned, she-aid be kept m.ieely separate. Mr Edmund Hughes s.a:d it seemed: to h 11:1 that there wa3 to be no bacidl for the pavilion other than the Council would provide. That a great mistake, and ha was somewhat surprised to hear so many screak in i'avcttT of VO.a.11flt;, in tee gardens w'heu tihey laiigned at him astd Mr Frinifctcn a Aveek a,go Avhen they suggested the same thing. Mr E. D. Evans sr.id their object should bo to popularise the Gardens, and net to liavo then empty as last year. Whatever details Avere to be arrarged should be worked out by a small cozn- to popularise the Gardens, and net to liavo then empty as last year. Whatever details were to be arrarged should be worked out, by a small CifJl- i nrittee, <100 the gardens should be managed by them. Mr E. G. Evans contended) that they hould not have dual managetmc-uit in the Gardens and Pavilion. Last. yt-ar they were told that Messrs Baring spent about £ 300 for the band, and he proposed) that they offer Messrs Ba-ring to supply the basidi for the whole season, the Council to take. 15 per oan-t. of the gross receipts from everything, and for Messrs Barling to pay the Ocuncal say i;200 towards t.he band. No seconder AVUS found for this "TO MAKE THE GARDENS ATTRAC- TIVE. Dr. Hughes Jones supported: Mr Ellis, and said1 they wanted to make: the gardens auraeiive so that visitors could enjoy tnernselves there. Ho lui-ew for a fact that tie absence, of a band during- portions of last year lost one hou^e L40 in visitors. The admission, money was but a small thing cornjjarcdf with the amount of money Visitors speint in Rivyl through coming to the town because there was a high-class ba.ndl here, andi that was the point of MOW they should con- sider. llûhoped they Avould do what tliey could to long-then tl;e season, and he believed that it was far more ilmportant to have a first-class ba.rid at the beginning- of the season than in August, as in teta-i month the town would fill without a band. Mr Perks said he AvouLdi vote against. the pro- posal' as it was edged) around witli too many oem. ditions. lie feared that if they continued1 ar- rangements on lines suggested they would find further disagreement. Mr Gftcetu'uam said he a.groed: with Dr. Hughies Jones, and the reason why the Council had got into a muddle was J¡Jat iliey listened to a. feAV member.} and, changed tde policy cif the Council as to class of enterminiment. People did not grumble éèt the iiKmcy which Avas lost on the gardena and paA-ihon the first year, aB they reali;sed that high-alasa ccaicerts were .:0 raise the tone of the town-, arud he would go further and say that it was the visi- tors who came early and late who were the bat for Rihyi. The batter daa; people camo at a time when the crowds were not there, and it was for those the Council should cater. What people did comp&an cf was that they wexe govern week alter weak the same thiinigs, aaid thai there were no open'-aj-r concerts with voeal- isfs. It was possible to A-ai-y an enterbainmcait without rnakir.ig it one of varieffcy turns. The fact that last year, whoo. there Avias a hi^ £ > c,;o £ s baeKl in the pavilion, the alftenda-nce in the morning- of tie better class of viaitar was aibout 200 showed t'hat people would go cvccn irj^o a building to hea-r a band if tlie price was ripfbt. Ho suggested that vocalists should be en'g-aged fcr the Aveeik msteadl of for Avec-k-ends. SUNDAY EVENING CONCERTS. Mr Phillips aig'reedi that- ,t;h!'y must h-avea fi'nstclaos band, but they must have good vocalists. As to the Sunday evening concerts he urg-cd that they were the things which would pay, aind he pointed ouit that in the first, year they haki between two and three thousand j>eo- plc at the opera-air Sun/day eA'enin.g co noerts. Ho si<ggoritcd; that they should &qk Messrs Baring to biave the band in the Pavilion on aitermte Sundays, and permisaion sihould also be obtained for th.e holdinig' of garden fetes. Mr L.'eAA'. B. Evans pointed out that they were offered' 33 per cent. o:f taltings for Sunday evening concerts when the banif was in the Pavilion. Mr Ph-Jlips: Yves, and wo have cleared £20 to £ 30 when we had them in the gardens. Mr Frimsituiii &aiq; it was uisoio:s to have the band' without the vocalists in the gardens, as they Itud tried both methods. During the first season they had vocalists, and they paid, but the noxt yeac when tliiey hzd- no Arooaiists in the open-air, few peoplo Avent there. It was not sufficient to have a good band alone. He proposed aa a f-urfcher ame-nidonenit, that if the Council obtunod' pceseteion of the gardesnis tihey should eoTisidier the letting- of the band rights to £ ome of the many persons who Ji!ad apjiiied to the Council. He beuieved that they could let tne gardens to a bandim.astor, and thus, relieve tlie Council of the responsibility of 6he band. Mr E. G. Evans: That will bo worse than ever. Ycu will have three sets of mana'gerneant. Tho Council then divided, when Mr Eliltil mccion was carried by ten votes to four, the vv6 rig boiog:—For: Dr. Hu^ghes Josnes, Mtasre K D. Evans, G. A. Taverner, T. D. Jones, Edmund Hughes, J. Buckley Jones, A. Cheet- ham, F. PjuUipB, LCAV. B. EVUJIS, and J. H. Ellis. Against: Mcssia A. Rliydwen Jones, S. Perks, J. Fiimston, aid L Bathe. Mr E. G. E\taTl¡.> did, not vote, considering' the Council were making a mistake* in (the matter. T-ho Cltainnan ruled that Mr Frimston's amendment ocsuld not be considered until they had more defi m be ii'-llormaition as to, whether they could get poesession cif Liie gardens. It was decided to meet on Wednesday next, at 3 p.m., .o settle details. WORK FOR THIS UNEMPLOYED.

GOOD PROGRESS IN DENBIGHSHIRE. The movement so successfully begu-.i at Den- bigh last November, is making good progress. It Is understood that abotIt £ 20,000 is wanted in this county alone, and it is to be hoped that when the collectors to be appointed, come round ever)7 one will be prepared to put his hand in his pocket and contribute his quota to this great and worthy object. As has been stated, every penny will do .something—a shilling will nay for an educa- tional poster, a pound will pay for a set of lan- tern slides, S5 will pay for a lecture, and all will help in providing the sanatoria and dispensaries intended for those who qannof, afford to go to private homes. Before anyone will support this movement two points may occur to his mind: (1) Whether it is practicable; and (2) is it Averth To answer these questions, it is only necessary I to look at the facta. No movement has had. the disinterested support of so many medical men. This in itsdf speaks volumes :5 to it, practica- bility. Professor Osier states: "We have learned how to prevent this disease. We have learned how to cure it; a. generation should see a reduc- tion of 50 per cent, in deaths and a victory as memorial as that which has been won against' typhus end typhoid." The second question can not be answered cx- cept in one way by all those who have the well- being and health of tho country at heart. With- out health nothing can be done. We trust the movement will have the assst- ance of all, and that the committee appointed in the different portions of the county to carry on the work of g :tt n.g sul scrip ions will be enthus- 'asticdlv supported in a practical manner by each locality. locality.
