PETITION promoted by the Barmouth Branch of the Selborne Society. Members 
are invited to sign and obtain signatures ; and to send this form to Miss Blanche 
ATKINSON, Tyn-y-ffynon, Barmouth, N. Wales, — by the 31st August. 
To the Light Railway Commissioners, — 
In the matter of the Porttnadoc, Beddgelert and Rhydden Light 
Railway Scheme of 1898. The Humble Petition of the 
undersigned, sheweth : 
That the proposed Light Railway will enter the Pass of Aber- 
glaslyn at a point distant about 15 chains from the Bridge of 
Aberglaslyn, and near the bed of the River Glaslyn ; that thence 
being continued in the Pass by cuttings and embankments for some 
33 chains along the eastern or left bank of the river, it crosses the 
river by a bridge of two spans, each 30 feet long and 10 feet high ; 
that afterwards it crosses the main road at a short distance from 
such bridge. 
That your Memorialists consider that the works above referred 
to, will irretrievably injure the natural beauty of the celebrated 
Pass of Aberglaslyn ; that the requirements of the District do not 
justify such injury, and that the best interests of the public will 
not be served thereby. 
That your Petitioners may be heard by their Counsel and 
Witnesses in opposition to the Scheme. 
And your Petitioners will ever pray. 
Signed :
