BARRY DID ITS DUTY. -
BARRY DID ITS DUTY. THE visit of the Federated Chambers of Trade to Barry was a, great success. The weather was perfect. The conference in the afternoon was animated. The delegates, through the courtesy of the Barry Railway Company, had a special train to take them round the dock, and -the banquet in the evening was a good finish to :a pleasant and well-spent day. The large and representative gathering which assembled in the Market-hall, Barry, on Thursday evening, bore eloquent testimony to the importance and influence of Chambers of Trade. In proposing rihe Health of the Local Authorities Mr. /James, of Merthyr, referred to the Chambers ,.of Trade as quasi-official. We Englishmen ,(using the word in its broadest meaning as including English, ScoLch, Irish and Welsh) have always been accustomed to supply any ■ want in our social system by voluntary bodies, which, if successful, gradually, by custom and universal content, become official. Other races have been accustomed to look to their rulers to formulate for them remedies for their >.yarious needs, the English have been accustomed to look for help to voluntary associations, which -v,-ere ;iiot in any way official, and if these .associations were found to be useful they were gradually adopted as part of our social scheme. ■ Chambers of Trade form one of these voluntary associations. It has been found by experience that it is very useful for all those who are interested in the tracte of a district or town to associate themselves together, and meet from time to time to discuss matters referring to trade. The great danger which all these voluntary associations run is the temptation to discuss and interfere in matters which do not Toroperly belong to them. All official local authorities are restricted in their powers, and regulated by law. A unofficial voluntary association is not thus regulated, and unless those at its head are very careful, discussions arise and are allowed on all sorts of matters quite outside the scope.of the association enter- ing into such discussion. The Barry Chamber of Trade is a young 'body, but it has commenced well, and we sincerely bope that its career will be a success- ful and useful one. In the past it has not received the attention and consideration at the hands of our local public men which it -deserves, but we feel sure that the gathering. and work accomplished on Thursday last will have a beneficial effect. We are certain that the Chamber can be made a representative and influential body, and we hope that all who take ra truly deep interest in the welfare of Barry ■wills^ow come forward, and in the most public manner recognise the Barry Chamber of Trade as one of the public bodies of Barry.

LOCAL NOTES, THE UTILITY OF THE BARRY AMBULANCE BRIGADE. "The utility and value of ambulance class teaching has never been shown in a better light than the past few days. The necessity of young men joining these classes cannot be over- estimated, especially in a place like Barry, 'where on the docks the workmen are unavoid- ably liable to so many accidents. On Tuesday afternoon a man fell down on the pavement on the Barry Dock-road. A crowd 'gathered around, as it was noticed that the man was -suffering pain and unable to get up. Mr. Rees, coastguardsman, and Police-constable Hawkins both members of the Ambulance Brigade, were near by, and examined the man, and found his ankle was broken. Dr. Kelly was sent for, and whilst he was coming Mr. Rees, assisted by Police-constable Hawkins, attended to the injury. Dr. Kelly, on arrival, saw that the ambulance men had done the work in splendid style, and did not therefore 7 interfere. Another case also occurred 'the same afternoon. Two men were having a wrestling bout, in front of the hotel, and one somehow managed to break his ankle. Mr. found and Mr. Adams, both members of Dr. Kelly's, were close by, and attended to the -man's injuries. Such facts as these, we think, speak far more strongly in support of the claims • of the Ambulance Brigade than ever after- dinner speeches, and we trust that the newly- formed Ambulance brigade, of which Dr. Kelly is surgeon, will meet with the approval and assistance of every resident in the district. BURIAL BOARD—WHERE ARE THE RATEPAYERS? We understand that a vestry meeting for the parish of Merthyr Dovan was called for Thursday, the 1st June, but a sufficient number of ratepayers did not turn up in order to elect a representative for that parish in the place of Mr. J. Robinson, who has resigned. Another vestry meeting will be held shortly, when it is hoped that a sufficient number of ratepayers will attend to form a quorum. It does not -apeak well for the ratepayers of Merthyr Dovan parish in public affairs that a sufficient number of ratepayers do not attend to enable a election to take place. We understand tliat another vestry meeting will be called for Thursday, loth inst. IMMORALITY AND SlIEISKENIXCr. In our columns this week we publish several betters dealing with.the above subject. We are prepared to give the fullest publicity to the discussion of these questions, feeling sure that much good will result therefrom. THE TEMPERANCE COUNCIL. We observe that the Temperance Council for this district are determined to do all in their power to counteract the effects of the drink traffic, and it is with that view they have organised a crusade against it, and a demonstra- tion has been arranged to be held at an early date. The Council is by no means behind hand, and on every side they are making their influence felt. We hope that they will be able to do good work in the future as in the past.
BARRY AND CADOXTON! LOCAL…
BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD. On Tuesday afternoon an ordinary monthly meeting of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board was held in the Board Room. Dr. O'Donnell pre- sided, there being also present, General Lee, Alderman Meg-git t, Mr. George Thomas, Mr. J ones- Lloyd, Mr. Benjamin Lewi3. Mr. William Thomas (Sully), Mr. Wm. Thomas (Barry), Mr. Paterson, Mr. Jewel Williams, Dr. Neale (medical officer), Mr. J. C. Pardoe (surveyor), and the Clerk (Mr. J. Arthur Hughes). The minutes of the last ordinary meeting were confirmed, as were also those of the special meet- ing held on the 30th ult. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. General Lee proposed the adoption of the minutes of the Finance Committee. In accord- ance with instructions, Mr. Meggitt and him- self had divided out the estimate for the Dock Company. Mr. Hadjey made an offer to do it at a certain price, but as it was probable that there would be an alteration in the estimate of tha value soon, they thought they would be able to do the work themselves now. There was no other matter. The new collector of the rates had per- mission to engage a clerk, the approval of the Board to be obtained. The collector had informed him that he had appointed a clerk, subject to the approval of the Board. Mr. William Thomas seconded, and the minutes were adopted. PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE. Mr. William Thomas (Barry) begged to move the adoption of the Public Works Committee's minutes. Mr. Jewel Williams rose to oppose a paragraph in the Surveyor's report with regard to the public footpaths. He denied that No. 9 (a footpath at Crogan Hill past Tynewydd to the Buttrills and thence to the Buttrills) was a public footpath. It was made for the purpose of the residents of Tynewydd getting to the Buttrills, and Mr. Morris distinctly stated that there was never a footpa-th there. He proposed that No. 9 be struck out. If the Board adopted this it would cause them tQ enter into endless litigation, Mr. W. Thoiniig (Sally) seconded. The Clerk pointed out that the paragraph in question was in the Surveyor's report, and it would be impossible to take it out. It was part of the report which the Surveyor had presented. Mr. Paterson asked if the paragraph would commit the Board ? The Clerk Certainly not. Mr. George Thomas thought the best plan would be for the Board to refer the matter to the Public Works Committee for them to inquire into it. The Chairman said the matter had been before the Public Works Committee, and then had not sufficient information to determine whether they were public footpath or not. He thought the Clerk should be instructed to collect evidence as to whether they were public footpaths or not. Mr. Williams said if this was only taken as a recommendation of the Surveyor he was prepared to withdraw his proposition. Mr. George Thomas proposed that the list be referred to the Public Works Committee, the committee to report to the Board which were the public footpath the Board were liable to repair, if any. The motion was carried, and the report adopted. THE HEALTH COMMITTEE. The Chairman begged to move the adoption of the Health Committee's report. After a long discussion on the question of re- moving the ashes from outlying districts, and scavenging Oban-street, which the committee had recommended the Board not to do, and proposi- tions in opposition thereto negatived, the report was adopted. The minutes of the Health Committee of the 6th May were next passed, on the proposition of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. William Thomas. THE APPOINTMENT OF INSPECTOR OF NUISANCES. The Clerk stated that, in accordance with the re- quirements of the Local Government Board, it had been necessary to advertise for an inspector of nuisances, as the term of Inspector Leyshon's ap- pointment had expired. On the proposition of the chairman, seconded by Mr. W. Thomas (Barry), Inspector Leyshon was unanimously appointed for three years, compli- mentary allusions being made to the satisfactory manner in which his duties were carried out. THE POSTAL FACILITIES OF BARRY. A communication was read from the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce with reference to Mr. D. A. Thomas's action in the House of Commons with reference to the desirability of improved postal facilities for South Wales. The Chamber urged the Board to get the M.P. for the division to take the matter up. It was decided to communicate with Mr. A. J. Williams, M.P., on the matter. A CADOXTON LODGING-HOUSE. An application was read from Dennis Ely, 23, Foster-street, Cadoxton, for a lodging-house z, 11 licence. Dr. Neale said he had inspected the premises, and found them in a very clean con- dition. On the proposition of Mr. Wm. Thomas (Barry), it was decided that a licence for five persons should be granted. MISCELLANEOUS. Permission was granted Mr. J. Jackson, con- tractor, to lay a temporary railway across the road near the Biglis Brickyard, on condition that he erected a pair of gates, and took the railway away when requested. A week's leave of absence was granted the slaughter-house caretaker, and an application from him to rent the slaughter-house field was referred to the Slaughter-house Committee. LOYALTY OF THE BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD. Mr. Jones-Lloyd proposed that a resolution of congratulation should be passed, and sent to the Prince of Wales as follows :—" The Barry and Cadoxton Local Board tender to the Prince of Wales their congratulations of joy at the recent happy betrothal of H.R.H. the Duke of York to the Princess Victoria Mary of Teek, and express their earnest wish that they may enjoy a long life of unalloyed happiness." This was carried unanimously.

CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. The Editor does not hold himself responsible for the opinions of his Correspondents. DRINK AND IMMORALITY AT BARRY. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—The statements of Inspector Rees in an article in your paper last week, in which my name is freely used, call for a reply from me. That an attempt should be made to explain away my re- marks, as published by your contemporary the previous week, was not altogether unexpected, but I am taken by surprise to find that they are met with a direct denial. These were among my re- marks Some time ago I spoke to the Inspector repeatedly upon the existence of brothels and shebeens which undoubtedly exist together in some cases," According to you, sir, Inspector Rees says These allegations are utterly devoid even of a tittle of foundation," and he. asks why I and my friends do not exercise manliness enough and come to the Police-station with information ? This, I reply, we have done, notwithstanding the emphatic denial of the Inspector. Has he for- gotten the deputation from the Ministers' Associa- tion who waited upon him, consisting of the Revs. J. H. Stowell, J. W. Matthews, and myself ? Did not the officer in charge, on another occasion, inform him that I made a special appeal for inter- ference in the case of a house in Wood-street Will he deny the fact of my personal application i with reference to a disorderly house in Brook- street ? In both instances they were shebeens and brothels. I had been appealed to by residents near by who offered their houses which the police might use for the purpose of securing convictions. This information I gave at the police station. Then there was that notorious house in Courtney-road. Twice I went to the Cadoxton Police Station and made complaint, and into the hands of the Inspector at the Central Station I placed written statements from three persons who were well acquainted with what was going on in that house. This den of iniquity was not broken up, and one of the girls who had been rescued therefrom unhappily returned to her old haunt of vice. There is one sentence, sir, in your report of the inspector's words which I specially note, Shebeens, he went on, are not now required in the district," Then they have been required." Is not this a fair inference I The law says they are illegal, just as it says theft, &c. is illegal. But we are told by implication that in the absence of clubs, sheebeens are required. So we have one amongst us greater than the law of the land. To attempt to answer every point in your article would involve my trespassing too far upon your space. I can well afford to pass over the sneer that every woman I meet is not to be considered a prostitute, and to express in a sen- tence my belief that the leading temperance gentleman" who is so ready to find an excuse for the prevalent immorality is such in name only. If not, let him make known his identity. But I must ask if Inspector Rees, after such "careful inquiry and investigation," knows so definitely to what extent illicit trading- is carried on, why does he want the temperance party to supply him with information ? And why are not more than two or three shebeeneis prosecuted during a whole twelve months ? It is painful to me, and I am sure it is to my co- workers, that we have to take this matter up. We wish to help the police. We have sought to do so. Our friendly aid has been refused, and our attempts to improve the public order have apparently been resented. I trust that the result of this agitation will be a great improvement in the morals of many persons and, consequently, the increased happiness of the people in this district. -1 am, Izc., J. HONEY. June Gth, 1893. THE SHEBEENING AND IMMORALITY QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-I was interested in reading your article last week on the above subject. The statement of the Rev. Mr. Honey and that of Inspector Rees are obviously much at variance with each other, and it is difficult for an impartial looker-on which to believe. It is clear the district is not reeking with drunkenness and wickedness as the one would indicate, nor is the place so exempt as the other would imply. It behoves the committee of the Temperance Council, therefore, to go before the Joint Police Committee with a definite statement of fact, and not mere hapazard hearsays. In this way the Police Committee will be convinced, and the police may be aroused to a due sense of their duty in the matter. Whether the degree of the evil has been intensified or not, the thanks of the public are due to Mr. Honey for his courage and philanthropy in bringing the questions so pro- minently forward.—Yours, &0., J.W. CHURCH WORK IN BARRY. TO THE EDITOr, SIR,—May I crave admission for a few lines from an old and bold beggar ? It was my privilege to be present last night at one of the heartiest, most gratifying and most successful Church building meetings which I have every witnessed (held under the chairman- ship of an excellent Bishop to promote the build- ing of the Church of St. Teilo, in the Parish of St. Andrew's, Cardiff). £ 4,800 subscribed before we left the room, includ- ing indeed one noble gift of £3,000, but including also very nearly £ 2,000 besides Now, I want to be allowed to say this, may not the noble munificence of our elder sister. Cardiff, stir up-a like spirit of noble munificence in her younger sister, Barry, and specially among all who are benificially interested in the great and profitable enterprise of Barry Dock and Railway ? I have the honour to represent two very im- portant and urgently needed schemes of Church work, the Church of St. Paul's, East Barry, and our Barry Parish Hall, for each of which we have still several hundred pounds to raise.—Yours, etc., EDMUND E ALLEN, Porthkerry Rectory, June 6th. :— THE SWAGGER UMBRELLA." TO THE EDITOR. Sm;—I have read Mr. Morris's letter in your last issue on the above question. I was glad to know by it that there was no sympathy with our worthy Rector and the recent performance he mentioned, nor ever gave his consent to the pre- sentation connected with the above. I must admit that I have looked on the question rather suspicious, that the Church was so poor financially, and weak morally, as to put the Rector under any obligation to any theatre manager whomsoever for clearing the debt on the sacred building. I have asked the question many a time since then, where are we to draw a distinction between the Church and the world if such things are right and religious, and it is quite possible that there were many holding the same opinion as myself on the above question if so, I am glad that Mr. Morris has come out as he did, to defend himself, and to explain things to the public by doing so he has done justice to himself personally, ar.d to the cause of religion. It is our duty to hold that there is a vast differ- ence between the Church and the world, conse- quently it is very important for us as members of the Church to keep within a certain limit. The Church is to show great sympathy towards it, and it may be very scarce in our churches of to-day, but we are not to go so near yet, I presume, as to patronise theatres in their various aspects. God forbid as such things are not to own any relation- ship whatever with the church of the living God. Many of our places of worship are under a heavy burden of debt, and the various members struggle hard to keep things going, and there is no need to feel ashamed to own the blessed fact, and before the Lord will allow his glorious cause to go to such state of poverty as to depend for its existence on such things as Art Unions, balls, raffles, sales of works, tea parties, concerts, theatres, and theatrical performances, He will command money to clear the debt through the instrumentality of a fish. It is our duty as Christians to draw a distinction between the church and the world, as it is I. written plain in the Sacred Book. I have done it once, and I am holding the same opinion still, with the difference that I feel stronger for the battle with Mr. Morris on my side. Whoever made the presentation of the swagger umbrella," and in whose name they have presented it, I am proud that the worthy Rector is not responsible, inasmuch as he holds a Scriptural notion on the matter. "Awake, awake put on thy strength, 0 Zion put on thy beautiful garments, 0 Jerusalem, the holy city for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean." Let not the Assyrians oppress us without cause. W. TIBBOTT. + TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-Referring- to your leading article in last week's issue, Mr. Honey, I am sure, is quite too careful of his public utterances to make haphazard statements without having verified the facts. As a proof, however, that there is something wrong in the State of Denmark, or rather, I should say, of Barry district, pray note the text of the resolution unanimously passed by the Barry District Tem- perance Council, and strongly supported by Canon Allen and all the Nonconformist Ministers of the locality. This resolution accurately reflects the candid opinion of every decent citizen of the whole neighbourhood.—Yours truly, RICHARD P. KERXICK. :1, Bellevue-terrace. Cadoxton, June 7th, 1893.

In the evening an entertainment was held, presided over by Captain Davies, when several songs, solos, and recitations were rendered.

DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY !BOARD.
DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD. An ordinary monthly meeting of the members of the Dinas Powis Highway Board was held on Wednesday morning in the Court-room, St. Nicholas. Mr. Oliver Jones presided, there being also present General Lee, Mr. David T. Alevander, Mr. David Lougher, Mr. William Lougher, Mr. O. Williams. Mr. Edward Thomas, Mr. John Thomas, Mr. John Savant (Penmark), Mr. Frank Laurens (surveyor), and Mr. J. Morris (clerk). PUTTING THE ROADS IX GOOD CONDITION. The Surveyor reported that he had carefully examined the road leading from the cross roads in East Aberthaw to the Railway Station, and found that practically nothing but labour was required to put it it in good repair. At present the road was simply a watercourse, and until quite recently, when the Cowbridge and Aberthaw Railway was opened. The Surveyor was instructed to get the work done. CARRIED AWAY BY FLOODS. The Surveyor reported that the footpath, which was a highway leading from Dinas Powis to Sully, is stopped, owing to four wooden bridges having been carried away by the floods. The cost of re- placing these bridges he estimated at s62 10s. each, j At one time this was an important footpath, but since the construction of the Barry Railway Com- pany's road from Eastbrook to Cadoxton the pach was seldom used. It was decided to defer the matter for a time. The Surveyor stated that on May 26th the county surveyor inspected the Eastbrook road near Eastbrook House, where a recent improvement was made by the Board, and recommended that the road be metalled. The Surveyor intimated to him that unless that was done he should recommend the Roads' and Bridges' Committee of the County Council to withdraw their contribution. The work was ordered to be done. A FOOTBRIDGE FOR DIXAS POWIS. A footbridge was reported by the Surveyor to be j. required in Dinas Powis across the Cadoxton Riper on the road to the Cross Farm. The hand- rail of the present bridge was gone, whilst the bridge itself was weak. He recommended that a new bridge be fixed. The Surveyor was instructed to get the work done. The Surveyor asked for a cheque for C40 to meet current expenses. He also recommended that the sum of £ 144 be paid on account to the contractors who were pushing on with their work. Bills amounting to £ 18 13s. 2d. were also sub- mitted by the Surveyor. Cheques for the whole of these amounts were signed. CLOSING THE ROADS. A petition was presented from some ratepayers as to a road at St. Lythan's, which has been closed. The wording of the petition being rather umbiguous, the Board were a little at a loss to fix which portion of the St. Lythan's road was re- ferred to, and the matter was referred to the Surveyor to report upon. Mr. Oliver Williams also brought before the Board a question as to whether Mr. Cory was acting legally in closing up a path through St. Lythan's Churchyard. Mr. D. T. Alexander understood that Mr. Cory had had the consent of the ircumbent and the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to close up two side paths provided he made another. The Chairman remarked that no one had a right to close a footpath without a magistrates' order, A right of way did not prevent people putting up a gateway, so long as that did not present peopie passing. The Surveyor was instructed to report on this matter also.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON! SPORTS…
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON SPORTS AT CADOXTON, JUNE 21. —— HOUSE AND FOOT RACES. By advertisement in another column it will be seen that sports are to be held on Wednesday afternoon, June 21st, commencing at 4 o'clock, the proceeds of which are to be used towards wiping out the small deficit on the Cadoxton and Barry annual Whit-Monday Sports. A small com- mittee, consisting of Mr. B. T. Pomeroy, Dr. Tre- harne, Messrs. F. Williams, B. Hoddinnott, A. Chappell, and L. W. Jones (treasurer), and the hon. sees. Morgan Bros.), have been appointed to manage the sports, and we are sure that these gentlemen will do all in this power to make this a successful meeting. As the sports are to be held on a Wednesday for the convenience of tradespeople, it is to be hoped that they will largely attend, and in the Witchill Athletic Grounds, where the sports are to be held, and which has been kindly lent to the committee for the occasion by Mr. Hoddinott, there is a commodious grand stand, which provides ample accommodation for the ladies. The prizes are all being giveZl by local gentle- men, and they are of good value. There should be a large entry for the trotting, galloping and foot races. The Committee have decided to commence the sports at 4 o'clock, so that the working men by leaving work where possible a little earlier than usual will be able to witness the racing.
