KEEPING OUR OWN POOR. Under the Parish Councils Act, if the section be adopted, Penarth can sever its connection with Car- diff and keep its own poor. Is it not passing strange that having a 1/1 general district rate, with the inevitable grumbling tacked on to that fact, we do not keep our own poor instead of paying X2250 to Cardiff every year, and, only spending, including salaries, about Y,300 on ourselves ?
