BARRY AND DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION. Count that day lost Whose low descending sun Views from thy hand No worthy action done. MOST of our readers will be specially interested in reading the report published in another column of the annual meeting of the Barry and District Nursing Asso- ciation held a few days ago. The report presented to the meeting was a highly satisfactory one, embodying a brilliant record of work accomplished by the nursing staff and the general body of promoters last year. There are, however, one or two points which we desire to call special attention to. The number of visits paid during 1893 by the nursing staff to the sick within the entire area of ten parishes covered by the association, and representing a population of fully 17,000 inhabitants, was no less than 1G,774, these visits being paid to 623 patients, of whom the gratify- ing total of 429 recovered. Each case last year cost the association the sum of 14s 2d, and every visit a little under 6id, so that it will be seen the 2 committee must experience a considerable amount of difficulty in obtaining by voluntary means a sufficient amount of subscriptions to maintain the association in a satisfactory financial position. While agreeing with the committee that special thanks are undoubtedly due to the Barry Trades' Council, the Friendly Societies of the district, and others for the valuable assistance rendered by them during the year, still we are also inclined to express concurrence with General Lee in his remark that the general public of the large district affected do not support the institution with that degree of liberality and enthusiasm which the sterling merits of the movement, and the self- j denying fidelity of the nursing staff,: so richly demand. We earnestly hope, therefore, that henceforth the NursingJ g, Association will be better supported than it has been hitherto and specially do we urge upon the working classes their duty to contribute towards the funds as much as they can possibly afford, because they can scarcely hope to enjoy the advantages which the association provide without expressing their appreciation in as tangible and useful manner possible in return. We cannot close our com- ments this week on this important subject-however brief they may be- without also echoing the feeling' ex- pressed by the meeting in favour of the establishment of a Cottage Hospital for the district. There can be do doubt, as stated by Mr John Cory, that an institution of this kind is urgently needed at Barry, where accident cases may be treated without resorting to the present inconvenient and extremely irksome system of sending the sufferers by road to Cardiff. SHEBEENING AND IMMORALITY AT BARRY. THE speakers at the two public meetings held in the Barry district a few days ago, to consider the shebeening question, were fully justified in expressing their con- gratulations to the Barry Dock magis- I trates for having imposed a penalty of JE50 and costs upon a woman who was found guilty last week of again selling beer, for, as the chairman of the court, Mr Oliver Jones, so strongly put it on the occasion, there is no doubt that cases of this kind are frequently haunts of the grossest immorality. We are equally gratified that the police are taking steps to further prosecute the prevailing evil in the district by instituting proceed- ings, not only against those who con- duct these houses of revelry and ill-fame, but also against those who frequent them, which will prove as effective a deterrent as the punishment of those primarily guilty. The Cadoxton police were also successful in effecting a raid upon a shebeen on Sunday last, when Acting- sergeant Ben Davies, accompanied by Constable Phillips, seized a quantity of beer from the house of a labourer named Ford, living in Brook-street, and found several persons on the premises drinking. The police are no doubt doing their duty assiduously in the direction of effectually coping with the shebeening evil in the district, and the magistrates, judging from the salutary penalty im- posed by them last week, are equally determined in the matter. The authorities may go further, however, in a similar direction, for the Local Board, in strictly enforcing their new bye-laws with regard to seamen's board- ing-houses, formulated under the Mer- chant Shipping Act, 1854 and 1883, and 46 and 47 Vic., c. 410, may render it almost impossible for the keepers of these houses to be other than thoroughly respectable people, and those who would not lend themselves to the practice of shebeening as is at present, unfortunately, so fre- quently the case amongst this class of local tradespeople. A temporary diffi- culty, however, has, it appears, arisen with regard to the enforcement of these new regulations, and it is believed that before they can be fully enforced in the district the Local Board will be obliged to seek an order in Council, thus shelving the operation of the new code for a few months.

LOCAL AND GENERAL NOTES. THE FORTHCOMING BURIAL BOARD ELECTION IN THE BARRY DISTRICT. The members of the Barry and Cad- oxton District Burial Board who will re- tire by rotation at Easter, but who are eligible for re-elec- tion, are the Rev. Canon Allen, Rev. J. Price, Messrs B. G. Davies, E. Phillips, and E. F. Blackmore and we are informed that the several gentlemen named intend offering themselves for re- appointment. It will this week, therefore, be interesting to our readers to perceive the number of attendences made by each member at the meetings of the Board during the year, the total of which, in relative order, being as follows :—Mr W. Thomas (Cadoxton), chair- man of the board, 13 attendances Mr B. G. Davies0, 13 Mr W. W. Adams, 12 Mr J. A. Manaton, 10 (out of a possible 11) the Rev. Canon Alien", 9 Mr H. L. Jones, 9 Mr J. Rees, 9 Mr E. PhilIipsc, 8 Mr W. Copp, 8 Mr G. Brock, 8 Mr E. F. 4 Mr James Jones, 4 Mr F. Burgess, 3 Rev. J. Price*, 2 and Mr Harry Davies (who has left the district), 0. Those gentlemen whose names are followed by an asterisk (*) are the retiring members. BARRY LOCAL BOARD AND THE FLUSHING OF WATER CLOSETS. Although there has been what would ap- pear to be a certain amount of delay in the matter of enforcing the bye-laws requiring all water closets in the district to be connected with flushing systems, it is evident that the Local Board has not in any way been daunted by the feeling of righteous indignation expressed some time ago by a section of interested ratepayers. The delay which has arisen has been due more to the Local Government Board than to the local authority at Barry, but now that the Local Government Board has expressed its willingness to confirm the draft bye-laws submitted, the Health Committee, at thei- last meeting, recommended that instructions be given to the clerk (Mr J. Arthur Hughes) to serve final notice upon the owners of about 1,300 houses in the district which have not yet been sup- plied with the convenience referred to. It is evident, therefore, that the Local Board are fully determined to see that the bye-law is carried into effect, and in view of the fact that the intention of the Board is simply that of securing the best sanitary arrangements possible, those owners of property who hitherto are in default will, we have no doubt, lose no timein complying with the requirements of the law on the matter, and thus spare themselves the un- pleasantness of being subjected to legal pro- z;1 ceedings insisting upon inevitable compliance. THE PROPOSED NEW UNION OF SAILORS AND FIREMEN. Mr J. Harrison, secretary of the Barry and Peuarth branches of the National Union of Sailors and Fire- men, has been inter- viewed by a repre- sentative of the Barry Dock News this week, and in reply to inquiries as to whether Mr Will Sprow, formerly chief organiser of the Union, was likely to be successful in his present effort to form a new Union of the seafaring community in London, Mr Harrison said he had no doubt whatever as to the inevitable result of the new movement. Mr Sprow, he said, during his connection with the National Union, by his incendiary speeches throughout the country, did more harm than good to the organisation, and largely alienated public sympathy from the men, the consequence being that the Union has not suffered in the least by the withdrawal of Will Sprow from its ranks. The object of the Union, proceeded Mr Harrison, was more to, persuade rather than coerce employers, and he was confident that Mr Sprow was not the man to form a rival movement which would be more successful in its efforts to benefit the condition of the seafaring classes than the existing Union. BARRY FEVER HOSPITAL AND FLAT HOLMS. If proof were re- quired of the fact that Barry is still making marked pro- gress, despite the stubborn opposition of officialdom at Cardif amply afforded by the miserable of the Corporation of Cardiff this week in refusing to grant on any condition whatever the applica- tion of the Barry and Cadoxton Port Sanitary Authority for a site for the establishment of a. fever hospital on the Flat Holms. A more conclusive example of the spleenish spirit of "the dog in the manger" could scarcely be manifested than that which actuated a. prejudiced and bigotted section of the councillors of the neighbouring port in their discussion at the health committee on Tuesday. The Cardiff Corporation—although Lord Bute (as the owner of the land in questior" prepared to grant a site to the Barry I Board — will neither allow this authc to erect an independent hospital, join with Cardiff for that purpc nor to be permitted to contribute towards t maintenance of cases taken into the Card. Hospital from Barry in fact, as stated by It B. Francis Williams, Q.C., at the public inquir at Cadoxton the other day, Cardiff will hav nothing whatever to do with Barry at any price The odds, however, are still in favour of Barry. The Local Government Board have called foi the erection of a fever hospital for the port of Barry, and the Local Board have testified their readiness to comply, both by negociating for a. site on tne Flat Holms, and by taking steps to schedule Sully Island for the same purpose, so that, if neither course is successful, the Board above, knowing, as they do full well the cir- cumstances of the case, will probably take steps to insist upon the Cardiff Town Council yield- ing a piece of land on the Flat Holms which they will not use themselves, neither, up to the present, will they grant to the neighbouring authority at Barry.

SERIOUS FIRE AT BARRY DOCK. A serious fire occurred at Barry Dock on Thurs- day morning last. About three o'clock Police- constable Rees Evans, whilst on duty in Thompson-street, discovered that a building lying off the road, and belonging to Mr J. Syden- ham, contractor, Barry Dock, was on fire. The constable at once gave the alarm, and a number of other constables under Inspector Rees, were soon on the spot with the fire appliances from the Central Police Station. All efforts to extinguish the fire, however, proved abortive till two or three hours afterwards, but the building was burnt to the ground. The place is insured, and the damage is e3timated at about £ 500. The whole of the tools belonging to a carpenter named J. Brompton, and in the employ of Mr Sydenham, were destroyed.

ALLEGED OUTRAGE ON A GIRL AT CADOXTON-BARRY. At Barry Dock Police Court yesterday (Thurs- day)-before Mr Oliver H. Jones and Colonel Guthrie-Robert Miller, a German sailor, was brought up on remand charged with criminally assaulting a girl named Alice Mary A.nn Webb, aged 15, daughter of James Webb, boarding-house keeper, Vere-street, Cadoxton. — Dr O'Donnell declared there were no marks of violence on the child, although it was clear she had been assaulted. —Prisoner was committed for trial at the Assizes.
