ABOLITION OF BOARDS OF GUARDIANS.…
ABOLITION OF BOARDS OF GUARDIANS. The following address on the question of the abolition of Boards of Guardians, delivered years ago by Ald. T. Waikins, the Deputy- Mayor, who :s now in his 81st year, is singu- larly topical at the present moment, when the subject is again under discussion at Poor Law Conferences and other gatherings. (Ed. Amman Valley Chronicle). No doubt most of thtm were aware that four or five years ago Parliament appointed a Royal Commission to enquire into the adminis- tration of the Poor Law. The members of the Commission, all very able men, numbered about 18, and they were indebted to them for a vast amount of valuable information on the subjject. But, unfortunately, as he was given to understand, there were only about five of I them who had had any lengthened experience of the administration of the Poor Law. All the others were theorists, and theorists dealing with such an important subject were, he coo- sidered, like the blind leading the blind. And they knew the result. In the reports it was recommended to abolish Boards of Guardians, | existing areas, and the general workhouse, and | to transfer the work to County Councils, the area to be the county or the county borough. In lieu of the workmen, seven separate and specialised institutions were to be established— one for the children, one for the old and infirm, one for the sick, one for the able- j bodied men, one for the tramps, and one for j the feeble-minded and epileptics; the County Council to appoint a central authority, to be called The Public Assistance Committee, which was to have unlimited power to spend money, and the County Council, although 'I having to find the money out of local rates, were not to have any voice whatever in the spending of the money, nor were the Local Government Board either. There was no doubt, if legislation took place on the lines i proposed by the Commissioners, millions of ) money would have to be extracted from the pockets of the ratepayers unnecessarily. The j Commissioners issued two reports—one signed by four of the members but written by an out- sider, a very able' man, Mr. Sidney Webb. Th.s report was of a Socialistic type, very costly, and a sort of beautiful dream. Poverty was to be cleared out, sickness turned into health, and the unemployed to be found work with adequate wages. He (AId, Wa-kins) believed with the majority of people that one or the main causes contributing to unemploy- ment and consequent distress and destitution was high taxation, and to make war against destitution by a scheme of gigantic local expen- diture was a contradiction in terms. The other report was also unduly ha-sh in its criticism of the Guardians, and unreasonable in prol>osing to tack on to'the duties of the already overworked County Council the ad- ministration of the Poor Law. So large a volume of additional work, he maintained, would swamp the County Council and seriously impair the efficiency with which the duties are now inconsistent in many respects. They I CHARGED THE GUARDIANS WITH EXTRAVAGANCE, and at the same time with givin-, inadequate relief. It was stated that there had been an increase of 39 million in the rates during the last 30 years. In reading this part of the report the reader naturally concluded that this money had been spent by the Guardians, but he had to thank the Local Government Board for furnishing them with particulars as to how this money had been expended. The bulk went to Highway Account (Sanitatien and Education), and out of this large amount it was only three and three-quarter millions that had really been used by the Guardians. And this money had been expended in carrying out the recommendations of the Commissioners, such as the building of Cottage Homes and Poor Law schools in connection Vith the Guardians, and infirmaries recently erected by a number of Boards of Guardians which hold their own in equipment, nursing skill, and medical science with the best hospitals in the country. As to inadequate relief, that was certainly incorrect, for he believed that all Boards of Guardians deak with the cases on their own merit, and treated all the poor as they should be treated in a Christian country. During the last 60 years there had been I A REDUCTION IN PAUPERISM from 62 to 27 per thousand, and for many years now there had been a decided impiove- ment in our workhouses as regarded the dietary table, clothing, &c. Nearly every taint of the workhouse had been happily removed. Why, even the names had been changed. When the children now went to school, no- body could tell the difference between them and other children, and as the Local Govern- ment Board had from time to time increased the option of Boards of Guardians, the ad- ministration had been correspondingly im- proved. The fact of the matter is the Com- sioners set out to find fault with the Guar- dians, and what had thev found? I- A REED SHAKEN, IN THE WIND. Mr. John Burns, who was considered by both sides of the House to be the right man in the right place, at the head of the Local Government Board, had shown his disapptoval, of the pessimistic criticism of the Guardians, and he maintained that whatever improvements were necessary could be carried out by the present machinery in an economical way. Dr. Arthur Downs, the chief medical inspector of the Local Government Board, who was quite qualified to deal with the subject, and was an expert in Poor Law matters, had written a memorandum on the reports, and he stated that there was not one-no, not one of the sweeping charges advocated by the Commis- sioners that could not be met, and better met, by the revision, the strengthening and the extension of existing powers on lines -already established. The Local Government Board had lately issued an order backing up the doctor and emphasising his sayings. He (Aid. Watkins) thought it was their duty as Guar- dians to strenuously oppose such drastic and expensive changes as being quite uncalled for. There are in England and Wales 643 Boards of Guardians, and 500 out of that number had joined the Poor Law Association, and be thought that this Board ought also to join, for the subscription was small and -would be money well spent. There were belonging to the Association some of the cleverest men in Eng- land, who had made the Poor Law a study and watched the interests of Guardians in and outside Parliament. In conclusion., Ald- Watkins said he did hope that every one of them would do what he could to enlighten the ratepayers on this very important question. They mast be all up and doing, making a stir, or else it would be thought that they were dead."
