LLOYDS BANK LIMITED. | HEAD OFFICE: 71, LOMBARD STREET, LONDON, E.C. Capital Subscribed £ 31,304,200 Capital Paid up £ 5,008,672 Deposits, £ 124,937,017 Reserve Fund 3,600,000 Advances, &c. 61,535,439 tl Savings Bank Department. I u For s?me tjme Past> public men of all parties have been urging those whose earnings are larger than USU+L ? s.^ve Papt at least of their additional income, 5? .th.a*>.lf employment should slacken and wages I usual to save part at least of their additional income, so that, if employment should slacken and wages diminish in the future, there may be something in hand with which to meet those contingencies. The Directors of Lloyds Bank Limited have pleasure I in announcing that they have decided to place the services of the Bank, with its widespread system of Branches, at the disposal of the public for the deposit of savings, however small. The Bank already has a large Savings Bank Department in the South West of' England, of which advantage is taken by a great number of small deposit customers, and the same facilities are now available throughout the whole of its system. uPeTer' t £ er\efore> a Branch of Lloyds Bank is established, such deposits can now be made, and interest will be allowed thereon, on terms as to rate, withdrawal, &c., which can be obtained on application. It is not the intention of Lloyds Bank to enter into competition with established Banks and other institutions which are already doing useful service in this direction, but to extend existing facilities so that they may be within the reach of the small depositor wherever there is a Branch of Lloyds Bank. THE BANK HAS OVER 880 OFFICES IN ENGLAND AND WALES. -n n ■ I

Wounded Soldiers.
Wounded Soldiers. Accommodation at Trecynon Training School. Generosity of Mrs. G. Hann, Ysguborwen. The Deputy Clerk mentioned that special committee had been held at the Training Schools, Trecynon, to consider an application for ac- commodation for wounded soldiers." On the 14th inst. Dr. Banks, Tre- cynon, 'phoned to him stating that the authorities of the Western Hos- pital, Cardiff, had asked if wounded soldiers could be placed in the Aberdare Cottage Hospital, inas- much as they were pressed for room at Cardiff. He (Dr. Banks) had had to reply there was no room at the Cottage Hospital, but that possibly accommodation could be found in the Training School for about 60 men in a short time, provided the War Office maintained the staff nurses. Dr. Banks added that the Merthyr and Aberdare Detachments of the Red Cross would manage the nursing. The deputy clerk went on to say that the committee had considered the whole matter, and had agreed to let the premises, subject to the sanc- tion of the Local Government Board. Since then the consent of the L.G.B. had been obtained. It was sug- gested that the present superintend- ent's house be utilised for the staff and the administration block, and that the contemplated alteration to the schools be postponed for the present, except those alterations which were absolutely necessary. A further committee meeting deal- ing with the matter was held on Friday, May 21st, Mr. J. Prowle, Mr T. T. Jenkins, Dr. Banks, and the Aberdare and Merthyr Detachments of the Red Cross being present. It was reported that the War Office would take the schools over as a Military Hospital, and that the Red Cross Detachment of Aberdare would be responsible for the nursing. Dr. Banks stated at that committee meeting that Mrs. George Hann, Ysguborwen, had undertaken to pro- vide an X-Ray Installation at the Hospital, at a cost of something be- tween £200 and C300. The com- mittee instructed the farm bailiff at the Industrial Farm to buy two or three more cows in order to obtain milk for the wounded combatants. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report Mr. John Lloyd asked who was to pay for the furnishing. The Chairman replied that any extra cost above what the Guardians themselves required, would be paid by the War Office. v Mr. Lloyd then seconded the adoption. Mr. Meth Davies thought the Board should maintain some control over the institution. Here they were handing this building over as they had handed the Pontsarn Sanator- ium over, without retaining some voice in the management. Mr. John Lloyd: But the circum- stances are so exceptional in the present cases. Mr. Meth Davies Just a minute, Mr. Lloyd. You are not the chair- man now. I am not prepared to hand everything over without retain- ing some control. I think the Board no L 1 ,1 L _n. suouiu nave some representation. Mr. Bolwell agreed that they should have some control. Mr. M. Davies: I move that the recommendation be not carried out. Mr. T. T. Jenkins explained fully what the committee had done, and added that an inventory of every- thing owned by the Guardians in the school was being taken. The Na- tional Red Cross Society in London were managing the affair, and while the War Office were not paying any- thing for the building, the Guard- ians should not seek to make any- thing out of the letting of the build- ing. The Guardians could call and have a look royofd occasionally, if they liked. Mr. Meth Davies And the nurses can order you out if they like. Mr. Henry Owen said that this was a patriotic move, and the Board should do the best they could for the wounded. He thought the nurses should have full control. The lady who was giving the X-Ray apparatus deserved their best thanks. The report was then adopted una- nimously.
On Military Service.
On Military Service. The Chairman remarked that they had not received any intimation from Dr. Trevor Cory that he had resigned his post under the Guard- ians. The doctor was now on mili- tary duty, and not likely to return to Aberdare. The Deputy Clerk said that cheques were still made payable to Dr. Trevor Cory, who was responsi- ble for his assistant. It was explained that Dr. Cory was in camp when war broke out.

New Llwydcoed Homes.
New Llwydcoed Homes. The Children's Homes Committee, Mio met on May 13th, recommended -hat the formal opening of the above ake place on Thursday, June 3rd. The question was now asked as to \\Tho would perform the opening Ceremony. Mr. C. Fenwick: I suggest the chairman of the Children's Homes Committee, Mr. Morgan Williams, Abernant. But who will provide the Sold key? Mr. Evan Davies: The chairman of the Board, of course. (Laughter.) Mr. Prowle (chairman) I am very Sorry, but the Trecynon Tin Works on stop. (Renewed laughter.) is rather unfortunate that the Puilders (from Merthyr) have gone l**to bankruptcy. The Chairman added that the in- stitution in Llwydcoed which they ^ould be opening next week was an Ideal one. They (the Board) had cribbed all the best ideas from ll over the country. (Mr H. Owen, 1, Shame.") It would be a pleasure for them to see how the committee ^Tere providing for the children. He hoped all the members of the Board would be present at the ceremony. It was carried that Mr. Morgan 'Williams should make the formal Opening.
Trecynon Subsidiary Workhouse,
Trecynon Subsidiary Workhouse, The Building Committee in their feport recommended that the staffing of the above be proceeded with. Mr Rees Rees now proposed that the same be deferred, and Mrs. Rich- ards seconded, and this motion was Agreed to.
Aberdare and Bargo d Members.I
Aberdare and Bargo d Members. A discussion took place as to ^here a committee should be held— Llwydcoed or Merthyr. Mr. Evan Davies (one of the Gelli- f>aer memhers) protested against folding it at Llwydcoed, because of ^he inconvenience of getting there. was afraid the committee meet- ^8 was being fixed in an out-of-the- ay place to keep the Gelligaer Ambers away. Why should their i^esence be so obnoxious to Aber- ?are people? (Laughter.) It '°oked as if the Board was doing it r°r spite. Mr. Meth Davies replied that it *as very awkward for the superin- endent of the Cottage Homes to carry his books to Merthyr, and SOmetimes one or two of the children were required to attend for some Purpose or other. Mr. Staffron Bolwell remarked that the Board must give better at- J^fttion to Gelligaer Guardians than p ey had in the past. It cost those Guardians an enormous amount of tlloney and time to attend the meet- I11gs. Finally it was agreed to hold the Meetings in Llwydcoed and Merthyr Alternately.
Another Recruit.
Another Recruit. Ernest Bond, relieving officer in the Aberaman District, applied for permission to join the Army. and the request was granted. His post will be filled at the next meeting.
Guardians Censure Coroner.
Guardians Censure Coroner. Sequel to the Bumhle 13 Incident. At the last meeting of the Board a letter from Mr. R. J. Rhys, Coroner, was read, in which he complained on behalf of a jury that no facilities were provided by the Board for an ambulance to take a sick man to the Workhouse Infirmary, and that the man in question had to be removed to the Infirmary in a cab paid for by the proprietor of a lodging-house, where the man stayed. Edward Connors, the person in question, died at the Infirmary, and the Cor- oner was alleged to have remarked, referring to the officers of the Work- ouse, "Bumble to the life." A special committee was appointed to deal with the matter, and the re- port was as follows I rY"I'I The Master of the Workhouse says This man was admitted to the Workhouse Infirmary at 2.15 p.m. on the 30th April last upon an Order from the Relieving Officer. Mr T. D. Davies. Relieving Officer, says: A man named James Sheehan came to my house on Friday, the 30th April last, as I arrived home for dinner between 1 and 1.30 p.m. He produced a Medical Certificate from Dr. Brennan, by which I could see that it was an urgent case, and I gave him an Order for admission to the Workhouse. I went to the nearest telephone, at the Workhouse, to ring up for the ambulance, and while I was at the 'phone was in- formed by the Porter that the man Connors had been brought in. That was about 2.15. The Chairman Were you called at the inquest '? Mr. Davies: No. sir. The Master: The man died on the following day, the 1st May, at 7.50 a.m. Mr. Davies, Relieving Officer: I may say that Dr. Brennan had been attending to Connors at the Lodg- ing-House, where he had been since he met with his accident. This being all the evidence to be taken, the committee then consider- ed the press reports of the inquest upon the man and the remarks made by the Coroner and certain Jurymen thereat. The committee unanimously re- commend that a copy of this report be forwarded to the Coroner in reply to his letter. At the same time the committee wish to state that ample arrangements have been made with regard to the provision of the ambu- lance, the Guardians having accept- ed a contract for such. In this case the allegations that Relieving Officer Davies had apparently not bother- ed his head as to how he (Connors) was to be taken there," is so far from the truth that the committee consider it ought to be withdrawn, and an apology offered to the official concerned. The Coroner's ejacula- tion, Bumble to the life," is a cruel one, and calculated to give un- necessary pain to the friends and re- latives of any unfortunate sufferer who may have to be taken to the In- firmary. There is often a consider- able demand for the ambulance, and cases may be delayed, but the re- lieving officers have full powers to provide other vehicles, and frequent- ly do so. Probably the forestalling of the officer in the case of Connors by the lodging-house keeper may be r, p attributed to many reasons, one naturally being the desire to have him admitted to the Institution at once owing to the character of his disease, and the length of time he had been lying ill in the lodging- house. The committee also wish to protest most strongly against the action of the Coroner in criticising the relieving officer without giving him an opportunity to defend him- self in allowing his Court to be used as a medium for blaming the Guard- ians without taking steps to ascer- tain the facts and in silently acqui- escing in the language of one jury- man in particular who alleges that Nobody gets a chance of it. They have to walk up," and again. He would have to walk up or die on the road," and finally, the callous utter- ance, There should be some provi- sion made. I have given many a shilling for a conveyance. They are treated like dogs." The use made of the ambulance, and other con- veyances paid for by the Guardians, could easily be ascertained. The committee desire to express its as- tonishment that such ignorance pre- vails as to the administration of the Poor Laws in the Union. Co(i-i,-ii-s died as the result of an accident sus- tained whilst under the influence of drink, and if censure were called for it should be visited on those who served him with intoxicants, there- by hastening his end. The Coroner and Jury took no cognizance of this, and without calling or hearing evi- dence pronounced judgment on a re- lieving officer and the Board of Guardians, which, in our opinion, re- flects unfavourably on no one except- ing those who condemned the officer and his employers."
