DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD.
DINAS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD. MISS JENEER AND THE BOARD. A monthly meeting of the Dinas Powis High- way Board was held on Wednesday afternoon at the Barry Dock Police Court. Mr. 0. H. Jones presided, and there were also present :—General Lee, Mr. D. T. Alexander (Dinas Powis), Mr. Oliver Williams, Mr. D. \V. Savours (Rhoose). Mr. J. M. Savours (Pcnmark). Mr. Oliver Thomas (Wenvoe), Mr. Thomas (Michaclstone), Mr. F. Laurens (surveyor), and Mr. Morris (elerk).—Miss Jennor was also present. The minutes of the last meeting were read, and signed by the Chairman.—The Surveyor reported that he had sent notices to the farmers to cut and trim their hedges and remove scavenging.- Several other works ordered by the Board had been carried out also. — The Sur- veyor reported that an encroachment is being made upon the highway at Westra. St. Audrew's-Major, by Mr. John G. Marsh, of Car- diff. and he asked for instructions. Å villa was in -course of erection, and a cesspool was being con- structed out on the waste land in front of the houso encroaching to the extent of 12ft. 4in. or thereabouts. The distance between the cesspool wall and the wall on the other side of the road is about 35ft.—The Chairman said the clerk had better write to Mr. Marsh on the matter.—Mr. Alexander thought it would be advisable that the alerk should write immediately, and stop the work, as every day Mr. Marsh was incurring more cost for work which would have to come down.—The Board concurred.—General Lee pointed out that the house in course of erection was on his land, and the Sanitary Authority had passed the plans. It was very regrettable that the Highway Board and the Sanitary Authority did not act more in concert. In this instance had the two Boards acted in hurmouy they could have stopped this encroachment before.—The Surveyor Asked that a set of ordinance sheets of the district be obtained at a cost of probably about £10. It was pointed out that it was very necessary to get such sheets, as it would save a lot of trouble, and mark the different alterations and developments of the district.—Mr. Alexander asked whether there was any pressing necessity.—The Surveyor I said there was not. but the sooner they were had the better. — Mr. Alexander and Mr. Oliver Williams thought it would b3 better to leave the matter for a tima until they were better able to meet the expense.—This,course was agreed to.-It ^3 announced, that th? co'Trmtn^e appointed to view the ftevrly-ifracfced bank on the Wcnvoe-roa1 had inspected it, and it was now taken down. The road was progressing favourably, and a sum of money had been paid on account.—»The matter of the drainage of the road near Mr. Nell's premises -was reported on by Mr. Oliver Williams and Mr. Oliver Thomas, and as it appeared that Mr. Nell was acting within his rights in erecting the wall. It was decided that Mr. Nell should be seen as to whether he would allow a drain to go throug'h his land, or contribute to the costs of remedying the nuisance, as his land would be benefited by the im- provement.—The Surveyor reported that £ (>0 would be required to meet current expenses. Cheques were due amounting to £ 207, and bills -amounting to £ 45.—Cheques were signed for the amounts.—General Lee drew attention to a piece or road between the Barry road and on the east side of the Taff Vale Railway. It was. he said, in a bad state, and required repairing, and he asked the Sur- veyor whether it wi\s not the Board's duty to repair it.-On reference it was found to be within the Barry Board's jurisdiction, and it was decided to draw the attention of that Board to the matter.— The agreement between the Barry Local Board and the Dinas Powis Highway Board with reference to the repairing of cortain roads were read, and on the motion of Mr. Alexander, it was decided to affix the seal of the Board to it.—Mortgages for J6400 and £800, at 3J per cent., on account of the Wenvoe and Waycock roads were presented, and on the motion of Mr. Alexander, seconded by General Lee, it was decided to affix the seal of the Board to them. — The Board's seal was also put to a copy of the resolution authorising the Board to raise the mortgages.—A letter was read from Mr. Shepherd, saying that a public path had been closed.-The letter did not -state what footpath had been stopped, and Mr. Alexander moved that the clerk be instructed to ask Mr. Shepherd to more definitely define what pathway he referred to.—General Lee seconded, and it was agreed to.—The contractor of the Way- cock road had, it was reported, refused the gentle- men deputed to act on the Board's behalf as arbitrators, and it was decided to leave the matter in the handsuf the sub-committee which had been appointed in the matter-viz., General Lee, Mr. D. T. Alexander, and Mr. O. H. Jones.—Messrs. Dagnall's charges for negotiating the mortgages were agreed to.-Miss Jenner, who had sat silent during the whole proceedings, now came forward. and asked the Chairman if that was the Dinas Powis Highway Board sitting there that afternoon. If so, under what Act ?—The Chairman informed Miss Jenner that it was the Dinas Powis Highway Board.—Miss Jenner said that twelve months ago she submitted several points to the Board with regard to the road from the village of Wenvoe to Twynyrodyn, and Mr. Morris had written to her informing her that her proposi- tion had been entertained, and £ 3 spent in making the inecessary improvements.—In the January previous,—The Chairman Confine yourself to the present, Miss Jenner, we don't want to know what happened before.—Miss Jenner said the money had not been spent properly, as a stile 7ft. high, of which a lot of people had complained to her had not been altered.—The Chairman We have nothing to do with stiles.—Miss Jenner said she wanted to know by what means the Wenvoe Castle Estate had taken away a footpath in a field opposite the National School. Mr. Thomas, the Glebe, could tell them the name of the field.-The Chairman I tell you plainly, Miss Jenner, we are not going to interfere in your law affairs.-lliss Jenner asked how the Board cime possessed of the land.-The Chairman said the" land was bought of tl-ie-owners, and if anyone else disputed the ownership, they must see the people the land was purchased from, not the Board.-Miss Jenner Thank you, Sir, That was the point I wanted to get at. Just one more question. I sent two or three messages through the contractor to asked the surveyor to call on me. -The Chairman The contractor is not the .person through whom to send massages to the surveyor. I cannot say whether he received the messages.—Miss Jenner, again thanked the Chair- man, and retired.
TAFF VALE RAILWAY.
TAFF VALE RAILWAY. PASSENGER TRAINS TO BE LIGHTED BY GAS. It will be remembered that a couple of years ago the Taff Vale Railway Company tried the experi- ment of lighting some of the passenger trains on the Penarth section with electricity. The experi- ment was not a success, the distances between the stations being too short to generate sufficient electricity to supply a good light while the train was at a standstill. Consequently, electric lighting was discontinued, and the old-fashioned oil lamps replaced. Now an experiment is about to be made on the same section with Pintch's oil gas, on the same principle as has been adopted by the London and North Western and the Metropolitan Railway ■Companies. It will not be necessary to have any connection between the carriages, and, as every- body who has travelled on the railway.-1 named knows, the light will be far superior to that now in vogue on local lines. Should the experiment on the Penarth section (which will be tried in about a month) be successful, the system will bo extended to all the passenger trains on the line.

ILLANTWIT-MAJOR NOTES.
I LLANTWIT-MAJOR NOTES. FBY PELAGIUS.] We are pleased to find that the lamps at Bover: ton and Lanmaes are now to be lit. We hope that tha advent of dark nights will stir the inhabitants of Llantwit to light the street lamps. For it would be an everlasting shame for the town, after having the lamps fixed through the initiation of Mr. Bevan and tha perseverance of Bucknell. to allow the lamps to fall into disuse. 'I In spite of spiteful sneers and petty jealousy, the Llantwit Lending Library is a fact accompli, f and if some that cavil at the work of the com- mitteo will but mako the best use of the books placed at their disposal the labours of those ladies r and gent-lemon will not be thrown away. 1 We are informed on good authority that the oft promised and hitherto slow coming Vale of Gla- morgan Railway is at last in a fairway to be com- menced. The scarcity of employment in the town makes us hope that it will be commenced at once, for it isi evident that the making of the Vale of Glamorgan Railway will benefit the district very largely. ¡ Straws show which way the wind blows, and they show very plainly that the triennial election of the Llantwit-Major School Board takes place next Juno.. The screech of the night owl with her plaintive cry of cold feet reminds us that it was in the beginning of Novaffiiber, 1411, that a large ship came ashore at -Tresilian, near Llantwit-Major. No one could understand the language of its crew, but one of its sailors was the first to teach the Walsh to knit stockings. The Llantwit-Major School Board are not ex- tritvagant in the number of their staff. They pro- vide one teacher for the Girls' School, who is supposed to teach six standards. Not a promising prospect for the teaching of Welsh or any other extra subject. Ah we omitted that she is to I receive the aid of a child who has not yet passed the Fifth Standard. r = .L!!————

For j nstanee, persons who are entitled to retire with pensions f-c,n their employment constantly find them- selves obliged to remain at their posts, being otherwise unable to provide from their "lessened inc. ne the necessary sum for the maintenance of their whole life policies. These obstacles are overcome by the Tontine Policies issued at ordinary life rates by the EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES. The Society's Policies, with Twenty Year Tontine Periods now maturing, show (after furnishing protec- tion for twenty years) a return in every case of more than the total amount paid in premiums. All Twenty Year Endowments show a return of the premium paid with interest at rates between 6 and 7 per cent, per annum.

THE SCHOOL BOARD -r ELECTION.
THE SCHOOL BOARD -r ELECTION. To-morrow (Saturday) is the last day for re- ceiving nominations for the Barry (U.D.) School Board. The nominations must reach the returning officer, Mr. Arthur J. Harris, clerk to the Cardiff Union Board of Guardians, before six o'clock. Public notice will be given of the list of candidates on Monday, the 17th, and any candidate may withdraw from the contest on the following Wednesday by sending a notice to that effect, signed by himself, to the returning officer. The election will take place on Wednesday, the IGth inst., and in all probability the result will be made known on the same night at the Holton Board Schools. There will be three polling stations—at Cadoxton. Barry Dock, and Barry Schools, and they will be open from 12 a.m. till 8 p.m. Every ratepayer of the parish of Barry whose name appeara in the book containing the rate made on June 30th, 1892; every ratepayer of the parish of Cadoxton and Merthyr Dovan whose name appears in the book containing the rate made for the said parish on the 15th October is entitled to vote in the election. Each voter will have nine votes, and he may either give the whole nine to one candi- date, or distribute some or all among the different candidates. The only thing- the voter will have to guard against will be that the total num- ber of votes be records shall not exceed nine. The old Board consisted of seven members, all of whom seek re-election. Two of the seven, how- ever, have not been elected by popular vote, but by co-option these two are Mr. John Rees and Dr. Lloyd-Edwards. The following is an official summary of the attendance of members of the Barry District School Board at general meet- ings during the past three years :—Mr. J. Lowdon, chairman (74), 65 General Lee. vice-chairman (74), 35; Captain R. Davies (74), 60; Rev. J. Price (74), 59 Dr. O'Donnell (74), 54 Mr. E. F. Blackmore (66), 54; Mr. Oliver Jenkins (6l>). 31 Dr. Edwards (5), 5 Mr. J. Rees (4), 4. The figures in parentheses denote possible attendances, and those succeeding are the actual attendances. Thero wUl be another meeting of the Board before going out of office. t Dr. Traliariie, Mr. W. Thomas (auctioneer), and the Rev. G. Llachidon Williams, have already ex- pressed their intention of standing as candidates. As the seven present members of the Board seek re-election, a contest seems to be, therefore, in- evitable. It a contest will be forced, it is rumoured that there will be a great addition to the number of candidate?. Dr. Livingstone, it is said, is being urged to come out, but it is doubt- ful whether he will consent to do so. Mr. Benjamin Lewis has said that if a con- test is inevitable, he will come out, but that he will not stand if by so doing he can avert a con- test. Mr. Lewis was for 10 years a member of a School Board previous to coming to Barry, is a good Liberal, and sound Nonconformist. It was once said that the Rev. Jabez Honey would come out in the Temperance interest, but we have heard nothing of the matter since. It is rumoured that the Temperance Council will take into consideration at their meeting, on Friday next, the advisibility of running a Temperance Candidate. If this is determined on, Mr. Honey will probably be chosen. We understand that the Rev. J. W. Maithows has definitely decided not to stand though it is still not improbable that in certain contingencies, he can be prevailed upon to come oat. Dr. Neale, though strong pressure was brought; upon him, has, we believe, resolutely declined to como forward as a candidate. In all probability, therefore, more than nine candidates will be nominated ta-msrrow, but it is eontidently hopod that meaua will be taken to avoid a con- tested olaction. COXFEREXCE OF XOXCOXFCBUISTS. On Thursday afternoon a conference of Noncon- formists was held at the Bible Christian Chapel, Barry Dock, to take into consideration the attitude of Nonconformists towards the coming School Board election. The proceedings were private, but our representative was informed that a dis- cussion took place on the representation of the Churches, and the total number of representatives that Nonconformists could command on the new Board. INTERVIEW WITH DR. LLOYD-EDWARDS. Our representative has this week interviewed Dr. W. Lloyd-Edwards, who has taken a prominent part in tho starting of evening schools in this district. How do you find the evening schools answer" ? Oh admirably. Considering that they have only existed a. week, and that people do not yet know of them. I think the Board is quite justi- fied in starting them." I Do you think there is a special need of them in this district ? As I strongly pointed out at a Board meeting when it was decided to start them, there are in this district many children who have left school with their education in a very rudimentary and unfinished condition. This was largely due to the break in their schooling, owing to moving to a new district whora the roads were so bad, and the school accommodation insufficient. Two years ago it was very hard for tho school attendance officer to trace tho children, so that many have gone be- yond the school ago with very little knowledge." Will those schools interfere with the Science and Art Classes ? Not in tha slightest, as the class of scholar will bo entiroly different. In the evening school most of tha timo will be taken up with teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic. Indeed the pupils aro quite content only to be taught these at first, as mtkny have forgotten these subjects." Then you will not teach extra subjects- specific, I think you call them." "Well, it practically rests with the scholars. If the schools fill up, and if the scholars are desirous. they may bQ taught specific subjects, of which the Code provides a great variety. We may teach History, Mathoaiatici, French, German, Welsh, Shorthand." "But havo you any teachers who can teach Shorthand ?" Oh we aro not bound to our own day-school teachers, except that in each school tha head teacher must ba certificated. Any other person— even clergymen-may be allowed to teach if the inspector approves." 11 What about Welsh ?" Oh we are quite prepared. All that we want is for a few young men to join the schools, and ex- y press a wish that Welsh should be taught them." I see you have a pretty wide range as to age." Woll, we can only earn grant for those under 21 years, though we gladly welcome men and women of all ages—they need not even be young. We have several from 20 to 30 years of age." Who sees to the working of these schools. Mr. Lowdoa, General Lee, and myself formed a sub-committee to start them. Then a manage- ment committee is to be formed, consisting of all the members of the Board and seven others elected from outside. We have not elected the other managers yet, but I hODe they will largely consist ot ladies and working-men. as the latter can best find the scholars for the schools." But why largely of ladies Well, one part of our scheme is to start re- creative evenings, which will be devoted to various kinds of amusements. These evenings, probably once a week, can best be arranged by ladies." What are the nature of the amusements ?" Games, concerts, interesting lectures, enter- tainments. In fact, anything which the scholars will most care for, and which the managers would approve of in the way of recreation. Sometimes musical drill, other times magic lanterns, we have affiliated with the Recreative Evening Schools Association for that purpose. We can obtain the loan of a larg-e variety of lantern slides from them. Probably the School Board will supply the lanterns as they usually do." I see Holton is the only girls' evening school. Is there any prospect of starting them at Barry and Cadoxton." •' Yes. If a few young girls agree to attend regularly until the end of the school year—30th April—wo could easily find teachers for tham both at Barry and Cadoxton." One question more. As you anticipate that these schools will be a great success, why do you charge fees 1" We are charging 3d. weekly. Because they would, we thought, be more apprcciatod when a fee is charged. With tho day schools it is different, thero the attendance is compulsory, and where the Stiite compels it should provide the means gratis: Besides, the fees will form a nucleus for a prize fund for those who attend most regularly.
