MALADMINISTRATION.
MALADMINISTRATION. As we pointed out last week, ont-door relief has been increased during the past three years by the retiring Board of Guard- ians by j6105 per week— £ 30 during the first year, E35 during the second, and JE40 during the third. If a Board with similar spend- thrift propensities is returned next Monday week, we may, in face of these figures, expect annual increases during the next three years of £45, jE50 and JE55, bringing the total sum granted up to jE355 per week. or £ 18.460 per annum, as against jElOO per week and £5,200 per annum under the old regime. Increased calls will not stop at out-relief. The newly- appointed inspector has already called atten- tion to the need for more space in the Work- house, and everyone who has seen the way in which the inmates are herded together—the men in particular—must admit that a state of things exfets which cannot be much further prolonged. Extra accommodation will pro- bably be provided by building a new board- room and offices and handing over the rooms at present usei for these purposes to the in- mates. In this or some other way expense will have to be incurred, and unless the Guar- dians soon make a move, the Local Govern- ment Board will doubtless bring pressure to bear upon them. Further expenditure may also be necessary upon the Cottage Homes. A fairly large sum has recently been laid out at these homes, and unless boarding out is resorted to, it will not be long before at least one more new home is needed. Loans for these purposes, together with that for the new infirmary, will mean a large annual ex- penditure for many years. With these addi- tional burdens looming in the near future, and the ever-rising calls of other local author- ities, it behoves all concerned, whether they pay rates direct or in their rents, to elect to the Board only those members who are pledged to a discriminate policy of out-relief, in which the deserving poor shall be distin- guished from the undeserving, and in which nobody on the rates shall be in a better posi- tion than those who are contributing towards them by their hard-earned money. That a good many members of the Board are heartily ashamed of the way in which rè: lief has been granted is shown by the insipid report of the committee which was appointed to inquire into the great increase in out-reiief in the Maesteg district. This belated report attributes the stupendous increase of 172 per cent. to a large floating population in the upper part, low wages, and the inability of older people to join friendly societies. A trio of weaker arguments it would be difficult to conceive. The fact that the upper part is a new district with a floating population is a reason why out-relief should be low, but we cannot conceive of its being a cause for in- creasing relief. It is a matter of common knowledge that new districts are populated chiefly bylyoiing people, oider people being loath to leave the place where they have settled, and the younger the population the less the necessity for Poor Law relief. The allegation of low wages it not in accordance with fact. Whether the miners of Maesteg earn less than the miners of other districts may be open to question, but they certainly do not earn what are commonly regarded as low wages. Their earnings are certainly far in advance of those of the working classes of the Cowbridge District, where out-relief has only advanced by 72 per cent. As to the third argument, the gentleman who prepared the report. must have a vein of humour; we did not know that Maesteg was peculiar in refusing admittance to its friendly societies of old people. The reason of the increases is not contained in the committee's report, but it will be found indicated in the list of cases quoted in another column in which excessive relief is granted. The consideration of the report has been deferred for a fortnight, os- tensibly to permit of members studying the statement of figures. We do not know why a fortnight is required lor this purpose, as the Guardians meet weekly, but the elections are pending! The waste of public funds, bad as that is. is not the worst feature of the policy which the Pauperisers have been guilty of. This indiscriminate granting of out-relief is dia- metrically opposed to the best interests of the class intended to be benefited. Assist- ance from the rates is still in most Unions re- garded as the last recourse, and to instil a different idea will not elevate the masses. It is a demoralising and pernicious system, cal- culated to destroy providence and thrift and to cripple benefit societies. Relief has been given to practically every applicant, and while the undeserving have been treated on the same foot i#g»as the deserving, the "House test" is almost unknown. There has been no limit to the extent to which some of the ex- treme members are prepared to go. Some of them have actually proposed advances in out- door relief without any solicitation from the recipients. Unfortunately relief business is carried on in committee, and the worst offenders cannot very well be picked out. Some of them have actually been returned unopposed. In parishes where there are con- tests, electors will do well to ascertain before going to the poll the views of candidates, and then vote only for those who are pledged to attend meetings while relief business is being proceeded with and support only a discrimin- ating policy. Those who are ready to pauper- ise the people should be given a wide berth. Members of the Bridgend District Council are placed in an unenviable situation owing to the position of the South Wales Power Co. The electrical enterprise of the Council has up to the present proved a success, the bal- ance sheets usually showing a small surplus. Perhaps street lighting has been a little ex- pensive, but there has been compensation for this in well lighted streets. The success has been achieved owing to the cheap rate at which current has been supplied by the Power Co. Unfortunately, circumstances have compelled the Council to consider what steps they should take in the event of the Company shutting down their station. Such an emergency, unprepared fofr. would place the town in a very serious position. A lapse of street lighting would not be nearly such a serious matter to pedestrians as a stoppage of current would be to private consumers, especially tradespeople, who have no service of gas to fall back upon. It would also be an expensive matter to the town if compen- sation were awarded to consumers for the in- convenience and expense to which they were put. • That the Council are fully alive to the posi- tion is shown by the fact that a short time ago a deputation paid a visit to a Yorkshire town of about the same population as Bridg- end to examine a plant which is said to an- swer the purposes of that town admirably. The Council have also held several meetings on the subject, the details of which are not known, owing to the Press being excluded. It transpires that one of the suggestions is to acquire the Power Station from the Com- pany, who have offered to sell it for £ 14,000. Possibly the Company would be prepared to accept a much lower offer, but the desirabil- ity of taking over the station at any price is very questionable, having regard to circum- I stances which have been disclosed from time to time. During the latter part of last sum- mer the Council had to guarantee the sum of £ 90 per month to induce the Company to keep the station open. and the manager in a recent letter to the Council admitted that it was only in the mid-winter months that the station paid. It is true there may be fonnd ways and means of increasing the revenue and decreasing the working expenses, but what the Council need to bE satisfied upon is whether the loss would be neutralised. An- other proposal has been to purchase a second- hand plant and erect a small station. This proposal commends it-self as the most econo- mical. The Council are not legally bound to supply power, and a small station for lighting purposes only could be run very cheaply, as it would only need to be worked during the hours of darkness.

The ser- vices, which are on revival lines, are under a scheme of Mrs. Baker, who is a well known wealthy lady devoting her attention to this class of religious work. Rev. D. S. Jones. who has returned to Brideend, has conducted a series of nightly successful, services at Dover under the same auspices. FIRE.—A fire which broke out in a wooden shed adjoining the G.W.R. line near Coity- road on Friday evening attracted a large number of people, and there was considerable excitement. The, shed, which was tarred, burned furiously for half an hour, after which time members of the fire brigade got to work on it from a standpipe and soon extinguished the flames. Happily the shed was in a some- what isolated position, and there was no diffi culty in preventing the flames spreading. PRIZE-DRAWING.—The Friendly Societies* Council are to be complimented on undertak- ing their prize-drawing in aid of the funds of that deserving institution, the Cottage Hos- pital. There are over thirty prizes, which range from half a ton of coal to a guinea camera, and the price of the tickets is the exceedingly low one of 3d. The drawing should appeal to the working classes, for whom mainly the hospital is intended. SPORTING MEMS.—Mr. T. D. Schofield. of Bridgend, has been selected to referee in the match England v. Scotland to-morrow (Satur- dav) on the Blackheath ground.—Miss Carrie Singer, of Bridgend, was in the Welsh Ladies International Hockey Team which lost to Ire- land at Swansea last week.—Mr. Eddy James, of the Bridgend Football Club, played for Glamorgan against France at Paris on Thurs- day. last week, his side winning handsomely. —Mr. Tom Matthews, the captain of the Bridgend Football Club, has recovered some- what from the injury he received in a recent county match, and is able to get about.

Mr. Walton, speaking of light as a natural phenomenon, gave a brief description of its source in the sun and the stars, of the process by which the light-rays pass from thse lumin- ous bodies to the eye. and ol the main proper- ties of the rays. Mr. W. J. Dver followed with a carefully compiled sketch of the his- tory of lighting by gas. his paper being made more interesting by an exhibition of sperimen apparatus. Mr. Westerdaie, taking finally the subject of electric illumination, started from first principles, afterwards applying these in a lucid description of the arc and glow lamps. CONCERT.- A successful concert was held at the Nolton Presbyterian Hall on Wednesday evening, the proceeds being in aid of the Church funds. There was a large audience, and Mr. J. T. Howell was in the chair. The programme. which was of a lengthy and varied character, was well received. Solos were given by Miss Blodwen Lloyd, Porth (so- prano). Miss A. Thomas (contralto). Mr. Stephen Richards (tenor), and Mr John Owen (bass.. Mr. D. J. Gwyn was extremely popu- lar in his j-ecitations, being .recalled twice, and M iss Elsie Roberts's violin solos were to the evident satisfaction of the audience. Humorous sketches by Mr. T. Davies created roars of laughter. Miss Kitty Howell ac- companied the soloists on the pianoforte in an accomplished manner. The arrange- ments were in every way satisfactory, and re- flecte,d credit upon the two gentlemen who had made them. namely, Mr. John Davies (secretary of the church) and Mr. Oliver- Lewis. ST PATRICK'S DANCE.—On Wednesday even- ing the Irishmen and women, and children too. of the Bridgend district assembled in good force at the Drill-hall for their celebra- tion of St. Patrick's Day, which falls on Sun- day next. There were over 160 Hibernians- present. including Father Morrall. and the evening was spent in patriotic fashion. The hall presented a picturesque appearance, having been decorated for the occasion by Messrs. Vincent. McKenzie and Godsell, etc. Dancing commenced at 8 o'clock and con- tinned until 4, a splendid programme of music being played on the pianoforte by Miss Lawrence. The M.C.'s were Messrs. J. Law- rence and John Murphy. At intervals songs were given by Mr. Drake, banjo solos by Mr. Rees Miss Maggie May gave an Irish jig. The success which attended the event was largely due to the efforts of the committee, composed of Mrs. Ryall, Miss God sol, Messrs. McKenzie, Vincent, and Godsel. SCHOOL TREAT.—The children attending the C.M. Mission-hall, above the carriage works in Nolton-street, were entertained to tea on Wednesday night, about forty being present. The ladies presiding at the tables were Miss Davies. Miss Lily David. Miss Griffiths, and Mrs. Davies, assisted by others. An enter- tainment, presided over by Mr. T. King, fol- lowed the tea, and in the course of the even- ing books were distributed to the scholars. Solos were rendered by Mr. Idris Davies, Miss M. M. Davies, and Mr. D. J. Edwards. Mr. E.

BRIDGEND PARLIAMENT.—The final sitting of the session was held on Tuesday evening, the Speaker .(Mr. Michael Davies) in the chair. Mr. W. Jenkins resumed the debate on the Amendment of the House of Lords Bill, the following hon. members taking part in the debate: Rev. D. Rees. Messrs. D. Jenkins. W. Hopkins. A. Lewis, J. R. Allen, and D. L. Leyshon. The mover, Mr. H. J. Randall, having replied, the House divided, and the measure was lost. The Liberal and Labour members voted with the majority on the ground that nothing less than the total aboli- tion of the House of Lords would satisfy them. The hon. secretary (Mr. W. Hopkins) produced a balance sheet for the Sessions, which showed a balance on the wrong side, but this was promptly wiped out by the addi- tional subscriptions of the members. The usual vote of thanks was passed to the speaker and the hon. secretary for their valu- able services to the society, and a sincere hope was expressed that they would again act in the next session. It was decided that the next Session be opened in the first week in October, and that the Labour party form a Government and introduce a King's Speech at the first sitting. It maybe mentioned that although numerically the society has not been as strong as in the previous two sessions, the debates as a whole have been of a higher order than in any previous Session.
