'V' MIJMIW"' 11 t,,m a»«»un■njMijm.wiM* !■'■*—■—— COWBRIDGE AND ABERTHAW RAILWAY. OPENING OF THE LINE. OD. Saturday morning the new line of railway between Cowbridge and Aberthaw, was opened for public traffic, thus adding to the railway facilities of one of the richest agricultural portions of G-la- jjuorganshire in a material degree, and completing .a further link between the seaboard and the mineral area of the country. Constructed in direct connection with the Taff Vale ltailway, and, in fact, forming a portion of that line, the inhaoitants of the Rhondda, Merthyr, Aberdare, Garw. Llynvi, and Ogaiore Valleys, are brought within an hour's journey of delightful sea scenerv for the Leys, close to Aberthaw, has always been a favourite pleasure resort, though one difficult to reach-a. fine portion of the Vale of Glamorgan, the Garden of Wales, has been opened up, while an immeasurable impetus will, undoubtedly, be given to what is already a large and grow- ing industry, the manufacture of Aberthaw linr-, a large works at the seaward terminus of the line Toeinsr already in full operation. With the extra facilities for"transit now afforded the output cannot but grow very rapidly. The line. which, as has already been stated, connects Cow bridge and Aberthaw. is about six and a hulf miles in length, and passes through some of the finest scenery of the renowned Vale of Glamoxgan a district full of scientific, artistic, and historic interest, as well jas from practical points of view. It commences close to the old Cowbridge terminus, and upon it have been constructed a new station for that town and three others—St. Marvchureh-road, St. Athan- road. and Abc I thaw-thè two last named being within half a mile of the Leys—a most picturesque and charming spot. These stat-iona are stone- built of the best class, and ample provision in the -way of goods sidings and warehouses have been made. The Act for the contraction of the line was obtained in 1889, the first sod being cut in February. 1850. Since then the work has been in the hands of Mr. W. H. Mathias, contractor, of Porth, to the excellence of whose work complete testimony was given by railwaymen on Saturday, The joint engineers, who were also warmly eulo- gised, were Mr. H. 0. Fisher and Mr. J. W. Brewer the late and the present engineers of the Tafi Vale Company. The line is a single one throughout but the bridges, which are of most substantial eon. struction. have been designed with a view tc doubling at some future date. X 0 less than 250,00( cubic yards of excavation has been done, and though the hard nature of the rock was such as U make this labour of exceptional difficulty, not_ £ single fatal accident has taken place,'while casualtie: of a lesser degree have been singularly infrequent The cost of the undertaking is approximated a £ 120,000, and the line, in accordance with ai agreement made soon after the work commenced has been perpetually leased by the Taff Vale Rail way Company, who have started the working b; running three trams a day. THE OPENING CEREJIONY. The opening ceremony was performed on Satur- day by Mrs. Beasley, wife of the general manager of the Taff Vale Company, who kindly acquiesced in the wish that she should perform that function, to witness which a large party assembled at the invitation of the chairman and directors of the company. A special train left Cardiff at 11.15 on Saturday morning, and, proceeding by way of Treforest and Llantrisant Junctions, travelled to Cowbridge, the guests joining the train at various points on the journey. At Cowbridge Station, which was prettily decorated, the party was re- ceived and welcomed by Mr. Daniel Owen, Ash Hall (chairman of the Cowbridge and Aberthaw Company) Mr. Thomas Recs and Sir Morgan Morgan. directors Colonel Morgan (Brecon), and Mr. ° James Inskip. The other directors were unable to be present and take part in the interest- ing ceremony of the day. The invited guests nearly all of whom were present, were :—Ladj Morgan. Mrs. Daniel Owen, Mr. Tudor Owen, Mis. Joseland and Miss Hunt; Mrs. T. Rees, Mr. ano Mrs. W. T. Gwyn, the Misses Gwyn, and Mrs. John Llewellvn Mrs. Edwards, Mr. O. H. Jones. Mr R, B. 'Bassett, Mr. and Mrs. H. O. Fisher, the directors of the Taff Vale Railway, Mr. Lascelles Carr, Mr. Beasley (general manager Taff Vale Rail way) Mrs. Beasley. and the Misses Beasley, Mr And Mrs. W. Scott. Mr. Sidney Coleman (auditor) Mr Simpson, Mr. W. H. Mathias (contractor) ant Mrs Mathias, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Mathias, Mr Jones (secretary of the Tag Vale Railway), Mr and Mrs. Ingledew, Captain Thomas (Ocean House) Mr. D.T. Alexander. Mr. T. Matthews (Fontegarv). Mr. Huland (Taff Vale Railway), anc Mr R. D. Page (general manager's department) The mayor and mayoress of Cowbridge (Aldermai: and Mrs. Jenkins) were also invited, as well as th( following members and officials of the corporation -Alderman B. John (ex-mayor), and W. James Councillors M. Morgan, T. Williams, J. Llewellyn T. Parsons, David Thomas, J. W. Hall, Lewi: Jenkins, T. Thomas. John Hopkins, D. Tiley, an( J. Williams, with Mr. Stoskwood (the clerk), an( Mr. John Thomas (the borough treasurer). The whole of the stations en route were deco rated in honour of the occasion, and on reaching Aberthaw the party alighted. Mr. Daniel Owen as chairman of the company, then briefly asked Mrs Beasley to declare the line open. Mrs. Beasle; then formally opened the line, wishing, in a fev well-chosen words, that it might meet with ever; -nrosperity. &. THE LUiSCJtiEOM. After inspecting the Aberthaw Limeworks thE mrty adjourned back to Cowbridge, where an excellent luncheon was served by Mr. and Mrs. J Thomas, at the Bear Hotel. Mr. Daniel Owen presided there being with him at the cross table Mrs Owen the Mayor and Mayoress of Cowbridge Mr. and Mrs. Beasley, Sir Morgan Morgan anc Lady Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. Rees, &c. After lunch the toast of The Queen wasgivei from the chair and duly honoured. The H^yor of Cowbridge then gave" Succes: to the Cowbridge and Aberthaw and the Taf Vale Railways" The success of the former, hi, Worship said, had been long ago assured. He di< not anticipate that the energetic promoters of th line would stop at Aberthaw. (• .No.;) Consider in* that that place was within four miles of Barry he thought that assumption of his would be gene rally accepted, though he was in no degree in th «<»<»rpts of the gentlemen connected with the line If such a thing as ha had foreshadowed did tak place then the line would be a great trunk on from the hills to the sea. (Hear, hear ) Sir Morgan Morgan, in reply, said that for ver, many years it had been the desire of almost every one in that part of the country that the line shouL be made The district was a remarkable one fo the way' in which it had developed. A few year acro there were but a few farms where Barry an. Cadoxton now stood. At the present time it wa completely transformed, and Aberthaw, as ha been said, was within four miles of Barry. At th terminus of the new line there was a natural hai bour ■ already a great number of small vessel visited it. and with the greater facilities whic must follow the opening of the line, a grea many more would, too. Aberthaw, too, was ei ceedinody healthy, and there was suitable groun for building. Thus he thought a large number c families would seek work in the place and setti there (Applause.) He was also not unmindft of the fact that behind them lay a rich mmea district, the Garw Valley, almost untouched, bt the coal of which must be worked almos immediately. Surely the line was the most direc one to the sea. (Hear, hear.) He believed il construction was but the beginning of somethin which ultimately would be very big indeed. (A] plause.) Certainly, as it was at present it wou] enable thousands and thousands of the inhabitan of the mineral district to get to the sea for the recreation and recuperation. (Applause.) Mr T Rees and Mr. Beasley responded on beha of the faff Vale Railway Company. Mr. Lascelles Carr then gave the toast of T1 Mayor and Corporation of Cowbridg^. It h might be permitted to say so he thought th Mayor had been rather ungrateful to the Taff Va Kail way Company when he suggested that t line should be extended to Bairy. He (tl speaker) would suggest that as they could n, bring the docks up to Cowbridge at present, would be better to have the docks as near Cox bridge as possible. Why should not Aberthaw t the site of the future great dock system of th: part of the world? (Laughter and applause.) A doc at Aberthaw was certainly not more of a • wild ca enterprise than had been considered a railway 1 Aberthaw. (Hsar, hear.) Both, he believed, j possessed the germs of great prosperity to the district. The railway had already brought a great deal of labour to the district-a dock would do the same thing. (Hear, hear.) One of the mainstays of Newport had been the fact that there was a river which had been able to accommodate small craft on easy terms there would always be small vessels whose owners did not want to pay the cost of, nor did they need the accommodation of, a great and costly dock. However, the subject he had touched upon was one on which specialists alone could speak with authority, but he did not think the Taff Vale Railway would have guaranteed 3T per cent. upon the capital of the company if they had not seen something in the future. (Hear, hear.) The Mayor, Alderman John, and Alderman James briefly responded. Mr. Beasley then gave "The healths of the Engineers and Contractor," and Messrs. H. O. Fisher and Mr. Mathias responded. Mr. D. T. Alexander gave the toast of "The Chairman of the Cowbridge and Aberthaw Com- pany." The Chairman, who was warmly received, in reply, said he had always done his best for the district, and he would continue to do so as long as he lived. As to the Cowbridge and Aberthaw Railway, some thought its present prospects doubt- ful. He (Mr. Owen) was confident it would pay (hear, hear)—and. further, he had no doubt that in the course of a few years a magnificent harbour would be constructed at Aberthaw. (Applause.) With reference to what had been said regarding Barry by his partner. Mr. Carr. he (the speaker) disagreed. In his opinion the line should be ex- tended to Barry. (Hear, hear.) What was required was a railway along the coa3t gaps should not exist here and there, and it would be beneficial were the railway extended as he had^ said.^ That, [ however, was a matter for future consideration. > The proceedings then terminated, the special train returning from Cowbridge aoout five o clock,

BARRY DOCK ? STARR-BOWKETT BUILDINC SOCIETY. 7 I GENERAL MEETING OF THE A.fDAI DUIK' in JLH iVi U XLi -L V A special general meeting of the members of the 3 Barry Dock (970th) Starr-Bowkett Building I Srciety was held on Friday evening at the Victoria Hotel Assembly-room, Holton-road, Barry Dock i Mr. L. Y. Owen, Cadoxton, the president of the e society, occupying the chair. There was a goot I attendance both of directors and members I amongst those present being the Rev. Fathei Hyland. Messrs. F. P. Jones-Lloyd, solicitor G. F i Willett (auditor), D. Hale, J. Evis, J. A. Owen, J H. Nelmes, O. M'Cann, James Price, T. J. Howells s J. R. Llewellyn, T. Buckley, and S. Jones. Mr T Jones-Lloyd and Mr. Willett laid before the meet s ing an exhaustive account of the affairs of thi d society from the date of its inception, two year: e ago, up to the present, and explained tha •- with a small and declining number 0 t, members it could not possibly be a success. Afte a lengthy discussion, on the recommendation o e Mr. Jones-Lloyd, it was unanimously resolved, oi 3. the motion of Mr. Howells, seconded by Mr Buckley, that the society be voluntarily wounc e up, Mr. Jones-Lloyd and Mr. Willet being appointe< trustees in the matter, with full power to carr; y out the wishes of the meeting. It was pointe< r- out there were at the outset about 150 members d but at present there were not more than 40 or 51 >r good on the books, although the defaultinj -s members had an equal right to participate ii d the division of funds, subject to the de ts duction of fines for non-compliance up t d date. It is believed that, after paying al .e expenses, there will be available about 10; r- in the & for division, but a suggestio Is was made by Mr. J. R. Llewellyn (an ex-directoi h to ask the defaulting members to forego thei it claims, so that the members who had paid u c- regularly might receive 20s. in the £ and Mi id Llewellyn expressed his willingness to head th )f list in this respect. An appeal in accordance wit] le this suggestion will be made, and if successful, th al affairs of the society will be brought to an honoui al able and satisfactory termination. Mr. O.

YOUNG WALES SOCIETY. IMPORTANT DISCUSSION. A special meeting of the Young Wales Society was held at the Court road Methodist Schoolroom on Tuesday night, when there were present, Mr. W. Llewellyn Williams, B.A. (in the chair), Dr. O'Donnell, the Revs. W. Williams and Morris Isaac, and Messrs. Benjamin Lewis, D. Edwards, H. J. Owen, A. Found, S. Jones, D. Bowen, T. Thomas, &c. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The President read a letter which he had received from Mr. T. E. Ellis. M.P., in answer to an invitation to come to Barry to address the Society :— Hotel Scholastica, Achensec, Tyrol, Sept. 26. 1892. Dear Mr. Yvilliams,—Many thanks for your kind invitation- I should very much like to come to Barry, but I do not know how much I shall have to be in London. I shall make a serious effort to arrange a date early in December.—I am seeing this lovely land in perfect weather. One's nationalism is fired by its heroic struggle in 1809 under Andreas Hofer. Cofion carediccaf, THOMAS E. ELLIS. The Tyrol is thoroughly loyal to Austria because it has its own Parliament, its own flag, and full scope ..L- LUltS UWU llctUiMllctl J.U.V. —(Hear, hear.) PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. D. Edwards moved, That in the opinion of this meeting the Local Board is ji ustifiel in acquir- ing the undertaking- of the Gas and Water Com- pany." The district had been too long trampled under the iron heel of the Gas and Water Com- pany. The Local Board had done good work in the past, and could well manage the company's busi- ness. The great profit which was now enjoyed by the company would then go to the pockets of the ratepayers. (Hear. hear.) At present they had to pay 4s. 2d. or 4s. 3d. gas rate at Barry as against 2s. Sd. in Cardiff, though coal was not much dearer here than in Cardiff. (Hear, hear.) The tendency of the present time was to break the monopoly enjoyed by private companies, and soon the posses- sion of such necessaries as gas and water by such companies would be a thing of the past. The water was bad. and would not improve until the supplying of it had been placed in the hands of the representatives of the people. (Cheers.) Not till then would they see the silvery streams of the Brecon mountains down at Barry. (Laughter.) It was true they heard of rows now and then at the Local Board, but it had not been necessary as yet to start a relief fund for the orphans and widows. (Laughter.) Of course all the members of the Board were not of equal merit or capacity. Some of them were like the large lamps which had been put up in front of the public- houses of the district, while others were more like the small lamps which had been placed in front of the places of worship. (Loud laughter.) But he thought they were quite capable of managing the Gas and Water Company's undertaking. (Ap- plause.) The Rev. Morris Isaac said that the proposer complained of the quality of the water, yet advised the Board to try it. The Local Board would be inaugurating a new era by doing so. Soon they would see members of the Local Board driving about the district in carts shouting out "milk, milk." (Laughter.) The Board would soon be selling tea and running potatoe stores, L (Laughter.) The acquisition of gas and water by the Board would be a strong temptation to thE i members. He did not wish to cast any aspersiou k on the present Board, but it, would be possible foi a dishonest Board to shake some hundreds oj pounds into other sleeves. (Laughter and cheers." I The Board had already as much work on theii hands as it could well transact. Nor would th( business be so efficiently or cheaply managed by E public body as by a private company, and he wai of opinion that the drainage system would hav< been carried out in as efficient and far cheapei way by private venture than it had been by th< t Board. (Hear, hear.) It would also be unfair t( the ratepayer3 of to-day to be taxed for the sake s of the future. Each ratepayer would be, as i were, acquiring shares in the undertaking by pay ing an extra rate to pay off the borrowed capital i. It a ratepayer, after doing this for some years, lef t the district, who would recompense him for thi 3 loss he had sustained: (Hear, hear.) In a f.3\1 years also gas would be superseded by electricity and the money spent in buying the gaswork would be wasted. (Applause.) 1 After a few words from the President in suppor, of the resolution, Mr. H. J. Owen said that it was most unfai: that the Local Board should swoop down like ai eagle, and compel tradesmen to sell an under taking they had with the greatest difficult; acquired. (Hear, hear.) The Board would go or acquiring other industries, and would put up ai tobacco and cigar sellers as they did in France r and in a short time there would be no individua or private enterpise left. (Hear, hear.) This wai State socialism, and if they were Socialists, anc not Radicals, they would support the resolution (Laughter.) The postal system had been held u] as an instance of the advantages to be derived b] J- the acquisition by the State of a large undertak ing. But the penny post would have been ai accomplished fact a hundred years sooner had no the State stepped in and interfered with privat enterprise. (Hear, hear.) Every private compan; was serving its own best interests by providing wel for the community f and he was of opinion tha e what was best for the individual was best for th cr community. If everyone minded his own busines ° TT71 rl nrr» /vn vnrv /Tin n c/h + pr Am UJUC YV UJ.1U YJvu.L\A. 0.f,4 J V. applause.) I Mr. Benjamin Lewis said that some oredit wa I due to the company for supplying the district wit' water at a time when the district would not other I wise have been served; but it should be re membered that it was for its own benefit that thi was done. The water supply ajfc present was bac and there would be no chance of starting an manufacturies in the district as long as the wate J was what it was. (Hear, hear.) If the distric 3 thought the present members on the Board ir 3 capable, it could put on men with brains equal t t that of directors of gas and water companie: f (Laughter.) It should bo iremembered too tha r directors got salaries varying from £100 to £ 50( [ while the members of the Local Board got no pa and kept themselves. (Laughter.) The Boar •_ wa3 prepared to deal fairly and equitably with th j company, and had no intention to swoop dow 1 like an eagle on it. The members of the Boar y, had no personal advantage to look to from th I acquisition, for they would only be adding t their labours without demanding a bigger wag Q (Laughter.) They were only doing what the „■ thought best for the health, happiness an a prosperity of the people of the district. (Applause i. Dr. O'Donnell said that the potatoe store argi 0 ment was a fallacy, for though you could put 1] 1 as many stores as you liked, you could not comp 5. people to buy at any one place, while the Gas ar a Water Company could compel the people to bi •) with them or not at all. (Hear, hear.) The cor r pany had once offered to sell the undertaking to tl p Board, but the Board ha.d then refused, as the r. was a litigation pending between the company ai a its engineer, which eventually cost £1,200, and b. the company at the time was practically without e scheme. (Hear, hear.) It had been said th private enterprise was better than public manag x ment. But were they satisfied with thing3 as thi were? ("No.") The rates were high and t! If water bad still the company proposed to increa I- their borrowing powers, and continue to supp t the district with the present quality of water, ai {' further increase the rates. Few doubted that ele le tricity would be the light of the future, but g u could still be utilised for heating and cooking pu poses. (Hear, hear.) The capital of the compai was, in round figures, £ 80.000, and the divide) paid was 5 per cent. That showed a profit £4,000 a year. The rateable value of the distri 3 was £96,000. The Board could borrow at ii-} p 0 cent., and, in the case of reproductive works, cou .1 spread the re-payment over a number of years, t 7 average being from 50 to 60 years. So l; additional penny or twopence in the rate wou enable the Board to re-pay the borrowed capifc [ (Hear, hear.) Parliament had invariably allow of late years local authorities to acquire gas a il water, and in every case. except two, this had pa h and paid well. If the Waterworks at Cardiff h i, been in the old hands, they would not have had t supply they had lately had. (Applause.) s- Mr. A. Found said that he was in favour, if s. were possible, of divorcing the gas and water, b he was afraid it was difficult, if not impossill He thought it highly desirable that the public body should have the water under its control. He thought it also unfair that a man should have to pay water rate according to his assessment, and not according to the quantity used. He did not see why a private company should got the benefit of this but if the Local Board acquired the under- taking, the profit would go to the public at large. (Hear, hear.) After brief replies by the Rev. M. Isaac and Mr. Edwards, the resolution was put to the vote, and carried by 16 to 8. Next Tuesday a Welsh debate will be held on the subject A ddylai Cymry dwy- ieithog deithio, ysgrifenu, a masnachu fel Cymry unieithog."
