PWLLHELI GUARDIANS COMPLAINTS AND AN EXPLANA- TION. A meeting off the Pwllheli Board of Guardians was held, on Wednesday, Mr J. T. Jones. (chairman) presidirMg. The Clerk (Mr Hugh Pritchard) reported on the investigations he made, at the re- quest of the chairman, into complaints con- cerning the methods of distributing out- j relieif in the division of Mr W. O. Jones. He inquired in all into twenty cases at Lian- iestyn, Tydweilicg, and Edeyrn, taking the cases at random. All the cards examined, -with, the exception of two, were regularly entered up, and no complaints were made as to irregularity of payment. The other two were in Lianiestyn. In one of them a. pauper in receipt oi 5s weekly relief said she haid not received the previous day's re- lief as she did not letch it. She had no complaints to make, as she had always been paid regularly, and when unable to go for the money on pay day she could always have it upon going for it to a shop a.t Dinas, where the money would be awaiting her. In the other case, also in Lianiestyn, the daughter dE the recipient of 5s per week produced the card, which was. not entered, up for the last two weeks. The reason given by the daughter was that they did not sendflor the money. The pauper, her father, was old and bed-ridden, and she said she had only once sent for the money to Lianiestyn. The officer used, to leave the money either at the house in pass- ing or at a shop at Dinas. Since August last he had ceased the practice, but on Sep- tember 24th. when seven weeks were due, he sent her (the daughter) JB1 to the shop. (After another four weeks had elapsed she wrote about the balance of 15s, and he replied that it was her duty to call at Pant- j yceJyn (the pay station in the village) for the money. IShe went there, and was paid the balance of 1.5£ and the JE1 then due. That was the only occasion upon which the money had been sent for to the pay station. It would seem, added the clerk, that Jones had made the shop at Dinas a kind of un- offiiciail pay station, and theretby leading same of the paupers to believe that they had a right- to be. paid there and not at the village pay station some distance off. He {the clerk) might say that the persons visited had no knowledge of the object of his visit. The officer adinitted that his methods were a bit irregular, and promised that this irregularity would not occur again..Some of the paupers did not come to him for their money at the pay station, but as- sumed that they would be paid at the shop at Dinas. I The Chairman said the matter was a very important one. The officer had no right to pay at the shop at all, and the Local Government Board were against it. The Vice-Chairman (Mr- Daniel Jones) was. afraid that the officer had been a little neglectful in his duties. Ill" some of the paupers had not called for their money was it not his duty to inquire and know the reason why. They might be suffering for want of it. 'That was a very unfair way of dealing with the poor. .)1jr Wm. Jones, Lianiestyn, said that some paupers had to walk long distances to the pay station. The Chairman said he had been a mem- ber of the Board for many years, and he had never heard of a similar complaint be- fore. Mr W. E. Williams said that it was a convenience to the paupers to have their; money naid at the shop at Dinas. Mr Parry, of Penllwyn. proposed that the Board drop the matter, and further ob- servations having been made, the Board having reyard to the explanation given by the officer with regard to Jhe complaints referred to, decided to take no further steps.
