BARRY AND CABOXTON LOCAL BOARD. MEETING OF THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE. BARS8Y SEWERAGE SCHEME. The Public Works Committee of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board met at the Local Board Offices. Cadaxton, on Tuesday evening last. when there were -present — Messrs. George Thomas (cha.irman). J.Robinson. P. J. O'Donneli, J.Barstow. W. Thomas (Barry), J. A. Hughes (clerk), and J. C. Pardoe (surveyor). It was reported that the four summonses taken out against persons for damaging footways, &c. 'a had been dismissed by the magistrates, and the Clerk was instructed to prosecute on the first occasion such a summons is taken out in future. A letter was read from Messrs. Richards and Geth:n, architects, in reference to plans for nine houses in Harbour-read. Barry, which the Board had returned disapproved. They maintained that the plans were in accordance with the bye-laws, and held that the Board had no alternative but to pass them. Unless this was done they threatened to lay the matter before the Local Government Board. — Ullfortuna,tely. however, for Messrs. Richards and Gethin it was shown that in the event of the cesspools (which are situated on an eminence at the rear of the premises) becoming overflowed, the liquid filth, &c., would "drain back into the closets of the houses.—The plan was again dis- approved after a short discussion. Several complaints were made as to the quality and size of the metalling, &c., placed upon the roads, one or two members giving glaring instances of wilful neglect in this respect. The Surveyor was instructed to draw the attention of the read inspectors to the desirability of better super\ision of road work. In reply to a letter from Mr. Love, etating that he could not supply large quantities of gravel un- less broken stone was purchased, the Surveyor was authorised to purchase such stone from Mr. Love for such roads, as it would be most economical and convenient for him to do so. The Surveyor presented a list of persons who had erected wooden buildings at the rear of their premises, contrary to the bye-laws, and for which no plans had been laid before the Board. They were ordered tll be taken down in a week, neglect of which order will mean the issuing of summonses. The offer of Mr. E. 0. Preston, giving £ 25 to the Board if certain sewerage work was carried out near the Cross Elms, Gadoxton, was accepted. The Surveyor submitted a plan of roadway near Cadoxton Moors, and asked whether he had <o follow the lino of the roadway, or the line of the houses for the construction of the footpath. The Board having no right to malco a footpath on com- mon land. it was decided that it should be made according to the line of the roadway. Plans were presented for the construction of the drainage for houses in Gleba-street,. Commercial- road, &c. It was decided that it should be con- structed so as to allow of cellars eight i-et deep being drained. A discussion ensued in reference to the erection of a bill-posting hoarding, principally on the path- way, by Messrs. Jenkins and Arnold, but the matter "was deferred, in order to ascertain if it were proposed to erect buildings near the spot. Nr. Howard, living at 59, Main-street, made a connection with the Board's sewer without notify- ing the Board or its officials in any way, was ordered to open the place up, in order to allow the surveyor to see whether the connections had been properly made or not. The Surveyor reported that Messrs. Gaen Bros. were erecting six houses with parting walls dis- tinctly contrary to the bye-laws. Their attention had been drawn to it. and they had been warned, but, in spite of repeated warning, they were pro- ceeding with the buildings.—In view of this flagrant action, it was decided to prosecute them. A letter was read from the secretary of the Kingsland Crescent Company, offering to pay for tho private improvements on two-thirds of that street (which is the portion already built upon), if the work was at once proceeded with. They guaranteed to secure the cousent of the other owners —The application was acceded to. The following plans were parsed One house at Harbour-road. Barry, for Mr. Wright new Baptist Chapel at Court-road, Cadoxton, for the trustees bakehouse and stable at Victoria-road. Barry, for Mr. Edward Owen alterations and additions to the Colcot Arms, Colcot, for Mr. David Howells fourteen cottages at Ctrw oridge-street and six cotta-ges at Beverley-street, for the Beverley Cottage Company. Limited eight shops at Ilolton-road for Mr. John Jones; new streets called Maesycwm- street and Crossways-street, for the Barry Dock Town Syndicate.—The Surveyor was deputed to report by the next meeting on tha condition of the negotiations relating to the proposed improvement of Robins'-lane.—In view of certain diversions near, a letter was read from Mr. R. L. Price, on behalf of Mrs. Clode, asking that the latter's stable, which was in the line of the roadway, should be set back, and then she would be willing to give the necessary land.-The Surveyor was requested to report on the matter. A letter was read from Mr. C. R. Walker on behalf of the Barry Estate Company, stating that the pavement would be laid at School Board-road, Barry, at once. T „ A letter was read from Mr. J. Rees, secretary of the Barry and District Trades' Council, pointing out that one of the contractors of the Board, Mr. Richards, was sub-letting to a man named Beddoe, contrary to the resolutions which liad been arrived at by the Board.-The Clerk stated that he had seen Mr. Richardson the matter, and he had,denied it, and had asked that this should be made known, otherwise it was calculated to do him an inj ury.- The Clerk was instructed to reply to the Trades' Council stating that Mr. Richards had assured the Board that he was not sub-letting any portion of his contract. „ A letter was read from ths Board of Trade rc the outfall sewer at Barry, transmitting a copy of a letter which they had received from the Barry Company, and requesting t^seir observations on the matter. The letter of the Barry'Compa.uy. ex. pressed a hope that consent would not be given until proper terms had been-arrived at between the Company and Local Board as to the sewer passing" under their property and "tor the preservation of the company's road, and for a sewer to carry the sewage from Barry Island, and requesting that no ventilating shafts -should be made on the company's property. The company further suggested that it would be best to deflect the sewer to the west of Coldknap, and so keep clear of the harbour altogether, and conal-aded by saying that if iron pipes wece to ba Jaid m the harbour, care must be taken to protect the com- pany from liability from damage, mentioning the fact that damage would be liable to be done by the company edredgea.—A long and animated discus- sion ensued in reference to this better. OShe Chair- man moved that it should be referred to Mr. C. R. Walker, the Board's engineer, to report upon.-Mr. Robinson said there-would be no way out of the difficulty unless Mr. Walker, Mr. Wolfe- Barry, and Mr. Forrest met together. He was doing his test to bring about saach a -meet-ha.g.- Mr. Barstow: remarked that it looked as ,-if that question west not going to be settled this year.— Dr. O'Donneli It is not the fault -of the Board.— Mr. Robinson,, during the course of further dis- cussion mentioned that there were .many oljfeer objections to tize scheme besides those mentioned in the company's letter to the Board of Trade— Eventually it rc&s decided to ask Mr. Walker to .report upon the better of the Barry Company, <and it"? see Mr. WoltVSarry and Mr. Forrest. This was the principal business.

OPENING OF THE BARRY ROWING CLUB. Oil Saturday last the opening ceremony in con- nection with the new boating house of the newly- formed Barry Boating Club which has been erected at Coldknap, near Barry, took place. The weather was summer-like and fine, but a trifling too rough for rowing. The approaches to the club house and vantage points were decorated with bunting, and the whole proceedings were of a gala character. Amongst those present were Mr. and Mrs. T. R. Thompson. Penarth Captain and Mr. Whall, Mr. John Robinson, Mr. H. J. Pellacott, Penarth Mr. A. D. Ashford. Penarth Dr. and Mrs. Powell, Dr. O'Donnell, Dr. Treharne Cadoxton; Mr. J. J.

Thompson performed the ceremony of opening the new boathouse which has been erected at a cost of jE180, after which a. procession of boats took place from the boating stage around the harbour, the spectacle being a very interesting and pretty one. Crowds of people visited the spot during the afternoon. Tea and refreshments were supplied to members and friends at the boat-house, through the kind hospitality of Mrs. Duncan, The Buttrills. An enjoyable smoking concert took place at the Ship Hotel in the evening. The club already numbers sixty members, and the probabilities -point to a very successful season being experienced. Mr. W. H. Lewis, solicitor, Cardiff (and clerk to the Barry School Board), was voted to the chair amid applause, and amongst those present .were Messrs. R. T. Duncan, W. H. Morgan, T.

BARRY RAILW AYMEN AND THEIR GRIEYANCES. — DEPUTATION TO THE GENERAL MANAGER. RESULT OF THE CONFERENCE. A deputation of the railwayinen employed by the Barry Railway Company waited upon the general manager, Mr. Richard Evans, on Saturday, at the Barry Company's Offices, Barry Dock, in reference to the grievance which the men allege to exist. It was a noticeable fact that the Havod members of the deputation were not present owing to the causes explained in the South Wales Star last week. The conference lasted some considerable time, and, owing to the strong injunction given by the management at its conclusion in reference to the result of the proceedings being com- 's municated to the press, the greatest difficulty has been experienced in securing information. The deputation reported to a meeting of the men which was held at the Barry Hotel on Saturday night, and we are enabled to furnish the full details of the general manager's decision in refer- ence to the points at issue. The most vexed of the mooted questions is the one relating to the em- ployment of train men on Mabon's day. Mr. Evans informed the deputation thct in the event of any of the men working on Mabon's day, and provided they made 57 hours that week, they would I. be guaranteed a week of sixty hours. Several of the men say. however, that that is not what they have been contending for. They maintain that according to the celebrated strike agreement of I 1890, if a man is required to work on Mabon's day. that week should be counted as an ordinary week. Several of the members of the deputation pointed out to the manager, the definition placed upon the clause by Mr. Inskip in his memorable speech to members of the Amalgamated Vigilance Com- mittees (which the men formed at the conclusion of the 1890 strike) at Bristol, but the manager in 'I reply made the rather remarkable statement according to the men's view, that he was not bound to abide by Mr. Inskip's view as that gentleman had nothing to do with the Barry Compauy. In view of the fact that Mr. Inskip was supposed to have acted at the time on behalf of the Taff, I Rhymney, and Barry Companies, much dissatis- faction is expressed at that remark. With refer- ence to the question of the overtime for the pilot- men it has been decided to pay the men at the rate of eight hours, and not nine hours, as a day's overtime. This is a complete concession to the men on that point. The dismissal of a fireman named Clarke was also considered, but the manager said he had been guilty of not keeping a proper j look-out, and could not be reinstated. Mr. Evans I' said he could not see his way clear to classify the low level signal box near Barry Dock like the other boxes. He said that the company might have put up instead near the spot a tarred sleeper shed with an old man to use signal flags, as that would have been quite sufficient. The ii.en main- tain that the signal box in question has the regula- tion of a very large amount of mineral traffic, and that its importance is considerably increased by the fact that there is a level crossing at the spot over which nearly the whole of the shipping traffic to and from the dock has to pass. The fire- men's wages question was settled most satisfac- torily, so far as the men are concerned. In future, after twelve months' service, their wages will be increased from £ 1 Is. to £ 1 4s. per week. The increases asked for by the hy- draulic firemen, according to the agreement, were also conceded in full, but with regara to the wages of the hydraulic drivers the general manager withheld his decision until he had made inquiries at Cardiff, Newport, and Swansea. These were the most important points for consideration. Curiosity there will of course be as to how the concessions are received by the men. There was not a very large attendance at the customary weekly meeting on Saturday night at the Barry Hotel, and it was decided to withhold consideration and decision until the manager has reduced his concessions to writing, when the document will be placed before a mass meeting- -of the men. However, great dis- satisfaction efri'sts in reference to the manager's interpretatioEa of the strike agreement clause relating to Mabon's week. We have interviewed two or three the men. and they maintain that it is no cencession at all. Thev say that if the men turn up in anything like numbers at the mass meeting it is in- tended to hold it will be rejected altogether. Others of the men expressed themselves as pleased with the general result of the interview. Unfor- tunately,as stated in these columns^ few days ago, dissensions exist in the ranks of the men, the pro- ceedings at some of their recent meetings having been rather lively—especially was this the case at Saturday week's meeting, when one of the members was charged with having- wrpplied the names of two of the leading members to the officials, as being the organisers of the contention at present existing. Some of the members of the Barry branch have signified their intention of leaving the branch and affiliating themselves with other sec- tions of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants. _0-

THE WARDS QUESTION" AT BARRY. COUNTY COUNCIL ENQUIRY AT BARRY DOCK. At the Barry Dock PoLice-court oa Saturday, Mr. A. Pendarvis Vivian and Mr. J. Blandv Jenkins sitting as a special committee appointed by the Glamorgan County Council, enquired into the application of the B^rry and Cadoxton Local Board to have the distrint divided into wards. There were present, besides the ceramics toners, Messrs. W. E. R. Alien fdepnty clerk of the Couaty Council). J. A. Hughe- (ck-rk to the Local Board), John Robinson (eha'snna-n), Alderman Mcggitt, Dr. O'Donneli.G. Thomas, J. J. Williams (members of the Board), J. C. Pitrdoe (surveyor), C. Howe (collector), and the Rev. J. Honey. The due ser- vice of the requisite notices having been proved, The Clerk of the Local Board (Mr. J. Arthur Hughes) gave evidence. He said that the popula- tion of the Local Board district according to the last census was 12,780, against 496 in 1881. The rateable value for the g-eneral district rate was £91.610 14s., as against A:20 005 in 1888, when the Local Board was formed. The Local Board area was 3,323 acres 1 rood 31 perches. There were twelve members of the Leeal Board, three of whom lived at Barry, six at Cadoxtwn, and three outside the district. It was felt by the inhabitants generally that it would be "desirable that the district should be divided into wards. There was a large part of the district, the central part, which comprised the district around the dock, which had no member on the Local Board at present, and it was thought that that part of the district was not represented as it ought to be. A public meeting of ratepayers was held scnM time ago. which was called by the ehiurmau of the Local Board, at which a resolution in favour of the present pro- posal was carried unanimously. The public meeting was held on January 15th, and four days later a meeting of the Local Board was held. at which a resolutioa expressing similar opinion was carried with one dissentient. He understood, however, that that dissenting member has since changed his opinion of the proposal. (Laughter). In reply to Mr. Vivian. Mr. Hughes said that the evidence he had presented to the council to establish a prima facte case was correct, and he had no alteration or addition to make. Mr. Joseph Charles Pardoe, surveyor to the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board, then gave evidence, and said he had prepared the large plan (produced, hanging on the wall) showing tho division of the district into wards as follows :— North Ward Area. 1.017 acres 2 roods 9 perches houses, 808 population, 3,240 rateable value, £ 12,555 10s. South Ward; Area, 1,002 acres 2 roods 9 perches; houses, 833 population, 3,355 rateable value, k- 48,712 2s. 8d. East Ward Area, 851 acres 0 roods 11 perches houses, 773 popula"- tion. 3,020 rateable value. £ 15,022. West Ward Area. 1,233 acres 2 roods 17 perches houses, 632 population. 3,165 rateable valve, £ 15.020 15s. 3d. The witness having pointed out various details in reference to the boundaries on the map, » Mr. Hughes pointed out that the reason the rateable value of the proposed South Ward was so hiffh, was becatise it included the Barry Deck, which, however, did not materially affect voting. That being the whole of the evidence, the Chair- ffiaa remarked that there were one or two parts of Cs"e boundary which would have to be altered slightly. As far as they could gather, the scheme wa« satisfactory, but it would be necessary, before they reported definitely, that they should be fur- nished with an accurate and detailed description of the boundaries of the different wards. Mr. J. Ä. Hughes said he had got that practically with him, but only having received that morning a commuitieation from the Clerk of the County Council that it would be required at that enquiry, it had been produced rather hurriedly, and he would like to look over it again. Air, Hughes then submitted a list showing the allotting of the LMal Board members to the various wards, which the Commissioners said they would embody in their report to the Council. There was no opposition to the application, and the eiMjBirjr closed.

| PENARTH POLICE COURT. ) MONTI AY.—Mr. F. G. Gore (in the chair); Colonel itlii aud Mr. T. R. Thompson. A Rrxxj; :'INKI> FOR CRIMI»I>*O.—George W. Davies, StaM..road. Barry Doek, a runner in the employ of a Mr. Diamond, outfitter, Barry Dock, was charged by Mr. Yachell (lugledew, Ince. and Yachell), under Section 238 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 13S0, for having, on the 8th of February last, boarded the steamer Winney, then lying at Barry Dock, without the permission of the captain, and solicited sailors to come and lodge at his home. Mr. Vachell said both instances were contrary to the Board of Trade regulations, and the defendant was liable, in the first case, to a penalty not exceeding £, 5, and in the latter £ 20. He did not, however, wish to press the charge, as, previous to coming into court, he had seen the defendant, who said he was guilty of the charges, but the offence was committed completely in ignorance of the law. The defendant had also been in a very good position at Newport according to the testimonials he (Mr. Vachell) had ^een. Defendant had been cautioned before on the matter by the officers of the Board of Trade, therefora he wished the bench would inflict a fine which would prove as a warning to other persons similarly employed. The Bench imposed a fine of 5s. and 10s. respectively and costs. BICYCLE RIDING OX FOOTPATHS. — Walter Smart, Bdrry Dock, and William Gilford, York- place, East Barry, were charged by Police-constable Charles Henry Morgan wich riding bicycles on a footpath at Llandough on the 30th ultimo. Both defendants were fined 12s. 6d., including cost. NO NAME OX HIS CAKT.—James Gillett, haulier, Grangetown, Cardiff, was charged by Police-con- stable W. Oliver Davies with having a cart in his possession at Cogan on the 26th. ult bearing no name. Defendant said he only had the cart painted tho day previously, and it was his inten- tion to have the name re-fixed.-The Bench said they would fino him the nominal su 11 of 5s. SHOP ROBBERY BY A SAILOR. — William Malone, a sailor, hailing from Liverpool, was brought up in custody charged with having on the 6th inst. stolen two pairs of boots, value 13s. 10d,, from outside Mr. George Oliver's shop at Vere- street, Cadoxton. It appeared that the prisoner was in company of two or three other rutEums, and when passing the shop named snatched the boots from the nail and decamped. Prisoner denied committing the offence himself, but Hubert Lee, the assistant at the shop, said when he came up to Malone one pair of boots was projecting from under his coat. Evidence was given by Mr. Thomas Williams (manager for Messrs. Oliver) and Police-constable David Roberts, and the Bench sentenced prisoner to fourteen days' hard labour.

CRICKET. CARDIFF v. BARRY AND CADOXTOX. These teams mat at the Cardiff Arms Park on Saturday, in glorious cricket weather. Selwyn Biggs and Gowan Clark opened the Cardiff innings, Llewelyn and Morgan trundling. The partner- ship was not of long duration, however, for only half-a-dozon rans had been scored when Gowan Clark, opening his shoulders to Morgan, was Mwlcd. Marley followed in. but he met a like fate, Llewelyn this time being the successful trundler. Norman Biggs now joined his brother, but without any addition to the score he was given out leg before wicket to Llewelyn, and George Young took his place. Runs continued to come slowly, but no separation being effected, Ingram took the ball from Llewelyn, but the new bowler met with a severe punishment, Young putting the ball a.way splendidly for 7, Selwyn Biggs im- mediately after scoring a like amount. Thereafter wickets fell rapidly, and the innings finished off for a total of 99. Douglas secured five of the I wickets, and was equally successful in the batting department, scoring 24, and being not out. Score CAITDIFF A.—1st Iuninga. G. Clark, b Morgan 3 S.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR PYLE. I Between Saturday night and Sunday morning a railway accident occurred below Pyle Station, which resulted in several trucks being broken to pieces. It appears that a mineral train was pro- ceeding across the Pyle Junction from the Tondu line. when several of the trucks, becoming detached I from the front part of the train, rushed down the gradient and collided with considerable force with the front portion, several trucks being knocked to pieces and others sent off the line over the em- bankmeut near a farmhouse. Break-down gangs were despatched from Tondu and Neath, and these were hard at work until Sunday evening clearing aWA)" the debris. The traffic was cousiderably delayed, some time having elapsed before a single line rrould be cleared. ■■g.— ■ '!■-■ ■ eg
