COPY LETTER: Charles S. Murdoch, Secretary of State, Home Office, Whitehall to the clerk to the Standing Joint Committee of Caernarfonshire. They have considered the county council’s plans for creating a special police district at Bethesda because of the riots and disturbances there [during the Penrhyn Strike]. They comment on certain points in the report of the enquiry. They point out that the new district would have a low rateable value and that it would not correspond to existing parish or petty sessional boundaries. Also they stress that this is only a temporary measure. Bethesda and the Bethesda Urban District have already petitioned against the proposals. He asks for the Joint Committee’s observations on these points.
