t ! ! DIRECT ADMINISTRA-i…
DIRECT ADMINISTRA- TION, Wo advert to the Swausea Hons- ing Ccnferenrè to be held at th6*| Ministry of Health t.drty because, although it was net originally con- verted for the di-cussion of the Town Hill deadlock, that unfortun- ate occurrence is almost certain to be considered, and because there is scarcely anything more vital to out immediate communal welfare, than (that a way out shall he found', i-itisfcjrttiiie will not have been in vain if as a result of its ex- ¡ | phmalion t<> the ?l oJ, 1*'LS ('X-l | emerges t ome national arrange- j mcnt that'—with, of course, ade- (juates.t??uard?toth? operatives —sub-Ip?ting and uh such trade ar- rangements shall be adjusted to I meet the shortage of labour and the nation's need. That may not be too much to hope, as it, certainly is not too much to desire if delay is as serious in many places ns hem. If j it is true, as has been stated, that. | a town or two whom we equalled j in early placing of tenders have al- ready got houses occupied, the de- Jay evidently is not as great every- where, hut to say as much is not to attempt apportionment of the blame for that in Swansea. The con- tractors will not accept the whole of ir nor, ws imagine, 'w.11 the men. tilp- Meanwhile we believe there is a strengthened feeling in the town that the Council did tIle only rea- sonable tiling in sending the ques- j tion of an immediate resort to direct j i -to the Housing j Committee. Having vivid remem- brances of what that system aceony j 1) 1 1 d at Cray, at Wen-street j j houses, and at: the Baptist Weil I bouses, and with th? revelation d the huge eeot (!Í the l>¡J!t¡ Pd\¡¡iou in. Victoria Park immediately be- | fore it, the town would hardiy have ) hailed with delight a resort to it on such a big scale after such meagre consideration. If it. fcculd be got to express its representative views on any municipal subject, it might j eVen say it is entitled to be given a full explanation of the pre- -sent position before any such course is adopted, lor the little interest there was in the last elec- j tion was concerned with no public question, only with personalities. If, to meet our clamant need, it :s decided alter mature consideration that direct admimstraticn must1 iorm part of our policy, we hope ;t must be on the lines indicated by the Borough Architect, difficult though they be, and not on the rushed awl hand-to-mouth ones that some seem to farour. it may be said that .f the Alinistiy of Health can be satisfied as to the practicability of a direct scheme, the town can be Eatisfied, since its commitment :5 I only the penny rate, but had we no interest in the. wle spending ()f! national money, that would yet be untrue. We have to think oi the amounts that must .come on to the I rates if estimates are Exceeded and of the Ministry s revision of the ro.sition of schemes seven years j hence, and wo\ cannot afford to con-1 tomplpate either lightly. j

WHAT'S THE TIME? I I
WHAT'S THE TIME? I I I Mr. interesting contribution yesterday about the ¡ Castle Clock—in passing we may I be allowed to tell our contemporary that it is usuair^o offer acknowledg- ments of the source when sue.'i special articles are referred to, I in part or in sypmary; but the in- voluntary Compliment we note— | prompts us to return to an old ques- tion, one often asked in these columns. Is it not possible to re- establish the one o'clock gun? How many years is it ago since the one o'clock gun ceased to be fired? A good many. It was a email convenience, but everyone i appreciated it. We were able ,o set our watches right to the tick, and no one had the excuse that he I' had remained faithful to the tittle as told by -such and such a public clock, and that was why he was late or had lost the train. And if time meant money in the dear old days 'I' before the war. how about to-day, when a new pace is being set, and we are asked to crowd more into an hour than we used to get out of a I shift! Most decidedly it is a period for exact Greenwich time—the time I M :,igllêd in one LaQ- heard :1t1I¡ | over Swansea, by the one o'clock gun-instead of the time as revealed by the Quarrelling clocks of Swan- sea's streets. There is not a maul i i s would not rejoice to get the one o'clock gun back, even though the j cost of it ran into a few hundred poun ds. The councillor who want? I .I" ll. 1. u. :1 H C& to make his re-election certain will move in the matter at the Council, and carry the business through.
