\ ABERGAVENNY BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
ABERGAVENNY BOARD OF GUARDIANS. i LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD AND NEW WORKHOUSE. The fortnightly meeting of the Abergavenny Board of Guardians was held on Friday, Major W. Williams presiding. There were also present Mr. H. J. Gwillim (Vice-Chairman), Mrs. Hiley, Revs. J. F. W. Trumper. E. J. Lloyd and D. E. Hughes. Messrs. George Davies, Benjamin Price, George Spencer, John Prichard, Morgan W. David, Robert Johnson, Robert Workman, W. L. Dodd, John Baynam, John Jenkins, Alfred I Edwards, John Watkins, Wm. Gwillim, Joseph Howells. Master's Report. The Master reported that there were 156 inmates in. the house, an increase of four com- pared with the corresponding period last year, and 88 vagrants were relieved during the fort- night, compared with 117 for the corresponding period last year, a decrease of 29. Miss Annette Morgan, of Blaenavon, had been appointed assistant matron by the House Committee, at £ 20 per annum, and £ 3 for uniform. Mr. Alfred Edwards said he was very pleased to hear they were saving money. Mr. Morgan David congratulated theChairman and Mrs. Hiley in securing the appointment, and said he was very pleased with the conduct of the Blaenavon Guardians. (Laughter). The Master also reported that Miss Jones, Local Government Board Inspector, had visited the workhouse and spent nearly three hours there. The Chairman She went into every hole and corner. Nursirg Arrangements. The Clerk said he had received a letter from the Local Government Board inquiring what arrangements had been made with regard to nursing at the house. He had been very busy with the Tribunal, but at the first possible oppor- tunity he would attend to the matter. The rule was that they must be in touch with a qualified person in case of emergency, and he would have to see the matron at the hospital or some other institution. No Accomodation Available. A letter was read from the Pontypool Union stating that they were handing over their in- stitution for a military hospital, and asking if it would be possible for the Abergavenny Guardians to receive some of their inmates, on terms ap- proved by the Local Government Board. It was probable that their chief difficulty would b-j with the females, other than the sick, of whom they had 50 or 60. The Clerk said he had sent the letter to Mr. Williams (the Master), who informed him that they had no accommodation available at the workhouse. Local Government Hoard and New Workhouse. The Clerk said that in reference to the erection of the proposed new workhouse, he had written to the Local Government Board asking their opinion. They replied stating I-liat it did not appear to them that the proposal of the Guar- dians of the Abergavenny Union to erect a new institution was one which required immediate consideration. They were of opinion that the matter was one that could properly be adjourned for a year or 18 months, when it could again be brought forward. (Hear, hear). Substitute Relieving Officer. Mr. W. H Studholme, managing clerk for Capt. R. L. Bakdr, solicitor, attended the meeting in respect to his offer to accept the positior of relieving officer for the Abergavenny district, on Mr. T. G. Green being called up under the group system. The discussion was taken in committee. Eventually it was carried that Mr. Studholme be appointed as relieving officer and Guardians' collector during the absence of Mr. Green on active service, and that the engagement com- mence on the 21st February and be subject to a month's notice. There was an amendment that an appeal be made to the Local Tribunal 011 behalf of Mr. Green, that he might be transferred from group 10 to group 30 (he now being a married man), but this was defeated by a large majority. Mr. John Prichard asked with regard to the balance of the purchase money of the workhouse, which was in the hands of the trustees of the late Marquess of Abergaveny, if it would be any financial advantage to ask for the money now, or would it be better to leave it wnere it was. The Vice-Chairman You, mean, can we le- invest it to advantage ? Mr. Prichard: Yes. The Clerk said they had to pay 3 per cent. 011 the £ 300 they had already received, and would have to pay a similar interest on any further sums received until possession of the workhouse was given up. It was with the object of saving the interest that it was arranged for payments to be made by instalments as the money was required. Mr. Priehard What interest are you getting on the £ 300 ? The Clerk We bought War Stock with the £ 300, at 4-i per cent. interest. We make (i per cent. on the transaction. Mr. Prichard You don't think it would be advisable to ask for the money and invest it, as we may want to use the money ? The Vice-Chairman said they could sell War Loan Stock at any time. The Clerk You had better adhere to your agreement and take the money as you require it. A

Death of Llangennychool Master.…
Death of Llangennychool Master. ""T"T_]_J. _4_-= The aeatn occurred on vveunesuay HJ.UUlll1" at the age of 54, of Mr. Samuel Sant, who for a period of 19 years had been head master of the Llangenny Church Schools. The deceased gentleman had been ailing for some time, but lie pluckily carried out his scholastic duties until within the last few weeks. Mr. Sant bore his illness with fortitude. The deceased gentleman was a native of Pontypridd, and was trained at Bangor Normal College. His first school was Bishton, near Newport, and from there he went to Bryneglwys Schools, Merioneth, subsequently being appointed to the headship of the Llangenny Schools, where he laboured assiduously and faithfully, despite delicate health. Mr. Sant was organist and choirmaster of Llangenny Church, and was highly esteemed in his pro- fession. He leaves a widow and one daughter, for whom much sympathy is felt. It is a melancholy circumstance that two schoolmasters have passed away in the Crickhowell district within the last few months, viz., Mr. Joseph Treloar, who for 34 years was head teacher of the Crickhowell Church Schools, and Mr. Sant. The Llangenny Schools are in the midst of romantic surroundings, situate as they are almost at the base of the famed Sugar Loaf Mountain, partly hidden by picturesque woodland, and bounded by a tributary of the Usk.
