NEW HARBOUR TRUST. I
NEW HARBOUR TRUST. I A contested election for the new Harbour Trust has been obviated by the retirement of one of the candi- dates-1fr. D. G. Hogg. That the ratepayers should be saved the ex- pense of a contest is all to the good, but we regret that it has meant the loss of so qualified a member as Mr. Hogg, who may be regarded as a specialist in all matters affecting the port. It is to be hoped that an op- portunity will present itself later on to co-opt so faithful a Trustee, so that his knowledge and experience may once again be available. Other old mem bers who will be missed are Mr. T. P. Jones, Mr. David Jones (of Messrs. Richard Thomas and Co.), and Mr David Davies, Cowell House. The new members include Mr. W. Coombs, who sat for some years on the Trust; Mr. D. W. Jones, Mr. Jen- nings, Mr. J. B. Williams, ex-Inspec- tor of Schools, Mr. Robert Richards, and Mr. John Owen. They represent a liberal infusion of "new blood" and will we hope, prove worthy of the confidence reposed in them. They take office at a time when the local docks are busy, and with every pros- pect of continuing to he busy. This happy state of things should encour- age the Trust as a whole to per- severe in the policy of steadily de- veloping the resources of the port and harbour. CALL TO TRADE UNIONS. Following upon the grave warning of Mr. Hoover in regard to the econ- omic position of Europe, comes an earnest call for more output, ad- dressed to the Trades Union Congress by Mr. Brownlie, chairman of the Council of the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. Mr. Brownlie calls at- tention, in terms which betray the gravest anxiety, to the imperative need for greater production, and to the duty which rests on the leaders of trades unionism, to save the nation from perishing of inanition Unless productivity can be rapidly increased he points out that there can be noth- ing but political, moral, and economic -cha-os, finally interpreting itself in loss of life on a scale hitherto un- dreamt of. "No economic policy," he adds, "will bring food to those stomachs or fuel to those hearths that does not secure the greatest pro- duction." We would earnestly com- mend the wise words of Mr Brownlie to workers of all grades everywhere. 'There is only one remedy for the world's ills v to-day, and that is Tionest work. It is work, and work alone that will fill the empty granaries, and bring down prices. The policy of "ca'canny" leads to moral and economic bankruptcy.' Wages may be artificially raised even higher than they are to-day but of what benefit will this be to the workers if the cost of living rises in an even greater proportion. Thanks to the assiduous teaching of certain extremists, far too many workmen have come to accept the comfortable theory that the less work they do the more work there will be for them and their fellows. Now the plain truth has been told by Mr. Brownlie. Will the rank and file of Labour hear him? THE WORLD'S SALVATION. Equally frank and outspoken is Mr Ben Tillett who in a message on Thursday, pointed out that Mr. Brownlie had only been repeating what he (Mr. Tillett) had been sav- ing all along. "We have always con- tended," (says Mr. Tillett) "that Labour is the source of all wealth. Holding that to be an essential truth, if Labour ceases to produce wealth in the shape of the necessnrips of life everything comes to a standstill. The proper distribution of tb;it wealth is another matter to whi-li v- are ad- dressing ourselves- arid r think with some success. But if fhpre is no wealth to distribute, no essentials of life provided for the ^eo'^le—those who are lowest in fly, scale must suffer r-,)ost. W,, rei-nem- ber that not more tliil, rwr cent of the producing classes have anything like reasonable wages. It is upon the other 75 per cent. that the result of any stoppage of production falls with crushing weight. If coals are zElO a ton, the man with money will man- age to get what he wants; if they are JS3 a ton the poor woman with a bare subsistence wage has to shiver through the winter, and perhaps die of pulmonary disease. I am as am- bitious as ever I was to win the earth for Labour-if that be possible; but I do not want to win an earth which is barren and worthless. Yet that is what it will be if production is cur- tailed or ceases altogether. The soon?r the workers realize this the sooner shall we be able to get on with the reconstruction of society that we are out for."

Municipal Notes. I —- » —— After their month's holiday, the Corporation will resume work on Monday when a number of important recommenda- tions from the various committees will come up for confirmation It was de- cided that no meetings were to be held during the holiday month, but it was found necessary to call the Waterworks Committee together, on account of the serious position of the water supply. In order to meet the emergency, it was de- cided to ration the supply to the works. Eleotrio Motor Vans. Application is being made to the Local Government Board for permission to bor- row the sum of £ 5,750 for the purchase of three electric motor vans. These are to be used for scavenging work and their introduction should bring about greater efficiency in cleaning the streets which at present are in a filthy condition. Coal for the Winter. ¡ An instructive report on the Fuel and Lighting Order 1919, has been laid before the Corporation by the fuel overseer, Mr Montgomery. A suggestion from the Divisional Officer that 500 tons of emer- gency coal be purchased has been ad- opted. This will be stored in readiness for the winter. f Proposed Joint Hospital. The Rural Council have now definitely withdrawn from the proposed scheme for, providing a joint infectious diseases hos- pital to serve the borough, the rural dis- trict and Burry Port. This leaves the Corporation with only the Burry Port Council to deal with. The Rural Council have decided to join the scheme promoted by the County Council. I Early Closing. I Petitions have been laid before the Cor- poration for new closing orders in respect of the following trades: Grocers, drapers, tailors, boot and shoe dealers, iron- mongers, house furnishers, watchmakers. jewellers, china dealers, wall paper mer- chants, saddlers, barbers and hairdressers and tobacconists. These petitions will be verified and if they are found to be in accordance with the provisions of the Act, steps will be taken to obtain the Closing Orders asked for. I New streets. I The Roads Committee have referred hack the plans of Mr. Jos. Llewellyn for laying out new streets at Ysgubor-fach, Caemawr and adjoining lands. It was found that the width of the streets was not in accordance with the bye-laws. I WISS vauey. I I The Waterworks Committee recommend I I that the upper reservoir be closed and f ——— the lower reSel voir be opened to the pub- lic. This arrangement is not to affect the lease to the Angling Association. Salaries. An application by Mr. G. EL Thomas, of the Surveyor's department, for, a re- adjustment of his salary having regard to war conditins, was considered by the Finance Committee who recommend an increase to JE225 per annum. The salary of Mr. Howard Davies, second assistant in the Town Clerk's office, is increased to a maximum of £130. The Local Government Board have issued a circular approving of a scale of war bonus for municipal officials. This is to be con- sidered by the committee at their next meeting. I Y.M.C.A. Gymnasium. I Plans canic before the Health Commit- tee for a temporary structure at the rear of the Y.M.C.A. premises in Stepney street, to be used as a gymnasium. These were approved of subject to precautions against fire being taken, and an under- taking to remove the building if and when called upon by the Corporation. j Capol Housing Scheme. I Uwmg to certain suggestions from headquarters, alterations have been made in the Corporation's housing scheme at Capel. In this matter the Corporation were well ahead of the times and had re- ceived tenders for the erection of 44 houses. An amended scheme has now been drawn up nd as will be seen from our advertisement columns, fresh tenders are invited. The alterations made will, it is believed, reduce the cost of the houses to a material extent. Collections. I The return of the Collector showed that he had collected and paid into the bank the sum of £ 3,338 lis. Od., of which £2,426 was in respect of district rate. The market revenue amounted to £554 .for the month.

----* ; Sporting Gossip
Sporting Gossip I Unexpected Reverse at Stradey. Clydach were visitors to Stradey on Saturday, and, before a moderately large crowd, gave the home men a rude shock, defeating them by 16 runs. The visitors took first knock and commenced oper- ations in a far from reassuring fashion. Three wickets had been lost when the score totalled only 13, but a magnificent fourth wicket stand was made by the partnership of N. Evans and D. Austin, who played excellent cricket and took the score to 64 before a separation was brought about. Wickets fell rapidly after this, until the ninth wicket part- nership, which gave more trouble, and realized 30 runs. The Clydach men were Eventually disposed of for 127. It was not thought that Llanelly, who fielded a fairly strong eleven, would ex- I perience much difficulty in reaching this ¡ total, but, as events proved the home I men reckoned without their host. A disastrous start. A truly disastrous start was made, half the side being got rid of for the meagre score of 38. Percy Rees and A. R. Trubshaw had together livened things up somewhat and looked like bringing the total up to something like a respect- able score, but "B.P." was unfortunate enough to mis-hit when attempting a boundary hit, which resulted in his being I caught at slips. Llanelly seemed to i have all the ill-luck of the day. Will Davies was not at the stumps two min- utes before he was run out. Ernie Gee who appeared to be in fine fettle, was given out l.b.w., a decision which caused the spectators profound dissatisfaction. Claude Warner and H. E. Jones im- proved the outlook and were playing a careful, indeed almost a dull, game, evi- dently trying to kill the bowling. Jones, however, soon received marching orders, his bails being just nicked off by a de- livery off G. Davies. When the last man, Fred Williams, took his place, the i Llanelly men still required 35 to avoid defeat, and the task was considered quite hopeless. Williams and Warner played up well, nevertheless, and 19 runs had been secured between them when Wil- liams, in trying to bring off a mighty swipe, was well caught in long field. The Llanelly innings thus closed for 111 —16 short of the visitor's total. A smart combination. J No one can begrudge the Clydach men I their victory, as from the very com- mencement they showed that they meant ) business. Tliey were evidently out to wipe out the defeat sustained a few j months back, and they succeeded only too well. That the visitors were in earnest was quite clear from the brisk way with which they went about their work, their fielding especially being of first class order To their smartness in this branch they undoubtedly owe their victory. Llanelly made the fatal mis- take of under-estimating their oppon- ents. Of the home bow lers, Dai Davies and Martin Davies again demonstrated their value, capturing respectively 4 for 44, I and 3 for 16. Trubshaw also did well taking 2 for 19. RODERICK'S ELEVEN. At the County School field on éatur- I day, Roderick's registered a capital vic- tory over Penllergaer, to the tune of 101 runs. Roderick's who went first to the wicket chiefly through the magnificent display of Bob Evans, were able to reach the very respectable score of 136. Evans, who appeared to be in rare form, played a perfect innings, not giving a single chance until he was taken at the slips, :1 ftcr he had evceeded the half-century by one. There were a number of other useful scores made, amongst which were T. J. Hopkin.s (18) Wm. Williams (17) T. J. Rees (16) and John Rees (11). The Penllergaer men provided very feeble opposition to the onslaught of Bob Evans, T. J. Hopkins, and John, each of whom had a very successful day of it. Evans captured 3 for3, Hopkins 2 for 8, ajid John Rees 4 for 20. The visitors were soon disposed of for a paltry 32, the highest score made being that of Lewis Bevan, who managed to knock up 10.

Busy Do ks. I Record Shipments at Llanelly. After a long spell of forced idleness, the North Dock has at last blossomed forth as a centre of bustling activity. Chatting with a "Star" representa- tive this week, a prominent official informed him that the present month is perhaps the busiest within his re- membrance. One reason, he added, for the great number of boats ar- riving here, is that there is rafner a congestion at Swansea, and conse- quently much of the overflow traBic is diverted to Llanelly. At the time of writing there are nine good sized boats in the Dock, three of which are sailing vessels. One of these is at present busy dis- charging a quantity of scrap. Some- vessels are now to be seen in mid- dock waiting to be unloaded, as only one of the tips is in working order.
