BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD. -+- THE PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Public Works Committee of the Local Board was held at the Board's Offices on Tuesday evening. Mr. George Thomas presided, there being also presentDr. O'Donnell, Mr. Joahua Barstow, Mr. C. Walker (consulting en- gineer to the Board), Mr. J. Arthur Hughes (clerk), and Mr. Pardoe (surveyor). THE COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE LOCAL BOARD. The Clerk read a letter he had receivt. d from the Clerk to the County Council with reference to the application of the Local Board that the road from Biglis to beyond the Barry Hotsl should be de- clared a main road by the County Council, and a sum contributed by them towards its repair. The letter stated that the application had been brought before the ltoads' Committee of the County Council, and they had directed their Surveyor to report on the matter. THE BEGGAR'S WELL-ROAD. The Surveyor reported that according to agree- ment he had paid Mr. Lougher £ 5, and Mr. David Howells £2 10s. on account of damages caused by the making of the Beggar's Well-road. He thought the amount paid very reasonable. The commibtee approved the Surveyor's action. CLERK OF THE WORKS FOR THE BEGGAR'S WELL- ROAD. The Surveyor reported that in accordance with a resolution of the Board he had advertised for a, clerk of the Works for the Beggar's Well-road, and received a number of applications which he presented to the committee to be opened. The applications were received as follows:—George Hockley, Barry; R. Ilford, Pontnewydd, near Worcester; W. S. Shepherd, Cirencester; A. K. Sidgewick, Cardiff; G. Hallett, Cardiff; Francis E. Collins, Barry John Jepson. Cardiff A. H. Hurston, Ireland W. E. Grant, Bideford Thomas Rogers, Swansea Richard Garnett. Liver- pool; John Bowen, Birmingham James Preston, Stockport Henry Burbidge, Barry; Albert E. Lewin, Barry Samuel Barstow, Cadoxton Walter Scott, King's Lynne and George Parfitt, Bristol. After considering the testimonials, the committee decided to place the names of Messrs. Burbidge, Hockley, Barstow, and Bowen before the Board for final selection. THE NEW BAPTIST CHAPEL. The question of the new Baptist Chapel in the Harbour-road, Barry, was considered, whether the chapel should be kept back 36ft. from the opposite side of the road or 18 ft. from the centre, and it was decided that the authorities be requested to keep the building back the 36ft.-The Clerk said it was rather hard upon the Baptist authorities, and it would perhaps be wise for them to arrange with the Coast Guards to place the wall of the cottages back a few feet. THE RETAINING WALL IN KKNILWORTH-EOAD. The Surveyor asked whether the Board would pay the costs of the erection of the retaining wall to the contractor, Mr. Rutter, and the owners pay them, or whether the owners should pay direct to the contractors. The Clerk advised that the owners should pay the cost of the erection to the contractor directly. It would save a lot of complication. This it was decided should be done. Mr. Thomas said he heard outside that people were saying that he was trying to saddle the Board with the costs of the erection of the wall. Such was not the case; there was never any question of the Board paying in any case. He hoped the Press would take notice of the fact. The Clerk-Quite ao the only question was whether the Board should pay the contractor, and the owners pay the Board, or on the other hand that the owners should pay the contractor them- selves directly. NEW BUILDINGS. were submitted of four new houses in Bassett-streec for Messrs. Thompson and Yella.nd (approved), four shops in Holton-road for Mr. Thomas Jones (approved conditionally, that the cellars be not lower than the sewer), one house in Newland-street for Mr. Britton, and a coal-house for the school house, Barry. MONTHLY BILLS. The usual monthly bills were passed, and certifi- cates signed for various sums on account of works for contractors, THE PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS ACT. The Surveyor asked for directions for apportion- ing private improvement works under the new Private Improvement Acts. The Committee decided that the costs of sewers and back lanes should be spread over the whole of the houses. The Chairman said he always considered it un- fair that corner houses should be charged for private improvements right around. There was. of course, a certain advantage of more light, but in the case of private houses there was no com- mensura.te advantage. In the case ef shops there were, of course, greater advantages. People hesi- tated to take corner lots of building ground on aecount of the heavy charge for private improvements. He suggested that tha corner houses should be only charged for private improve- ments only in front of the buildings, and the re- mainder be spread over the rest of the houses. Dr. O'Donnell thought that was a very fair suggestion. This was agreed to. The costs of the back lanes it was decided to spread over the whole of the houses having egress to it.

I LOOKING AFTER THE HEALTH OF BARRY AND CADOXTON. On Friday evening a meeting of the Health Committee of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board was held at the Board's Office, Vans-street. Cadoxton. when Dr. O'Donnell (chairman) pre- sided. There were also present Mr. W. Thomas (Barry), Mr. W. Thomas (Sully), Mr. A. J. Hughes (clerk ta the Board), Dr. Neale (medical officer of health), Mr. Pardoe (surveyor), and Mr. Leyshon (inspector of nuisances.) I HOUSE TO HOUSE INSPECTION. The Medical Officar of Health and Inspector of Nuisances reported that-they had made house to house inspection of Commercial-road, Mai-street. Kingsland crescent, Victoria road, Dunraven- street. Point-place, and Brickyard-terrace. As a result of 132 visits 11 defects or nuisances were found existing, while 89 houses had no flushing apparatus. In the district 39 nuisances had been discovered, and notices served in each case, with the result that 24 had been complied with. The scavenging of the district had been systematically carried out. The cow-sheds, milkshops, bakeries, and shops for the sale of articles of food had been inspected and found ia satisfactory condition. With regard to infectious diseases 78 extra visits, had been paid, and 12 houses disinfected. Sum- monses had been taken out against persons for non-compliance with notices respectin.g nuisances, and in each case convictions were obtained, the offenders paying costs. Since the last meeting of the Committee 46 vessels had been inspected and found to be satisfactory. THE WATER SUPPLY WAS TURNED OFF. The Inspector asked for instructions respecting certain houses in Llowellin-streefc, in which there was no water. He was desirous of knowing- what steps he should take as it was hard to summons the tenants for occupying the houses. The Chairman suggested that the owners should bo dealt with. The Clerk thought that the committee had better ha furnished with a list of those houses in the district which are without a proper supply of water. The Inspector said he would know what to do if it were a, whole street, but in this instance it was separate houses. There had been no water there for two weeks. Mr. W. Thomas asked why the people did not move out of the houses. There were plenty of vacant ones. The Inspector could not make people go out. The Chairman, did not think the company could cut off a supply of water without first giving the Board notice. The Surveyor explained that the water had been turned off because of non-payment of rates. The Clerk here informed the committee that the surveyor would have to report to the Local Board that the houses were without water, and notice would then be served upon the owner requiring him to provide a supply within a certain time. 'If that notice was not complied with the. Local Board eould do the work themselves, and recover the cost from the owner. Mr. Thomas pointed out that the houses were already supplied with water. It was only neces- sary to turn On the taps. The Chairman said they could give notice to the Water Company to turn the tap, and thea proceed against the owner for the cost. Mr. W. Thomas replied that the Company would not turn the tap until they were paid what was dua to them. The Inspector pointed out that he had several cases in the Barrv-road in which there was no water. The company could proceed against the tenants if they obtained water from their neigh- bours. The Clark suggested that the inspector should give the owner notice at once. The Clerk drew attention to the fact that the surveyor must give notice, and if the owner did not comply with it the Board could do what was required. Mr. W. Thomas asked what the Local Board could do. The Clerk replied that they would have to pay the arrears of the water rate, and summon the owner for it. The Board should insist on every house having a proper supply of water. Mr. W. Thomas—But he may refuse to pay. Chairman—In that case the Medical Officer of Health can declare the house unfit. for human habitation. It was decided to take action in the matter at once. TO HELP THE LOCAL BOARD. A letter was read from the Barry District Chamber of Trade offering that its medical mem- bers would, if desired, support the Local Board in their endeavour to' become a Port Sanitary Authority before the Local Government Board Commissioner. A letter was laid before the Committee from another Local Authority asking the Board to adopt a resolution condemning the system of the multiplication of fees under the Infectious Diseases Notification Act, but the matter was re- ferred to the Local Board. IN WANT OF FLUSHING APPARATUS. The Chairman called attention to the necessity of every house in the district being supplied with flushing apparatus. Due notice had been given of the fact that the necessary flushing apparatus must be supplied by May 1st. It was now a question as to how they should again call the attention of the residents of the district to the fact. The Inspector stated that 83 notices had been served. Upon the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Thomas (Sully), it was decided to advertise, calling attention to the bye-laws which will come into force on the lst of May, and also to the fact that proceedings will be taken against all owners of houses who neglect to provide the necessary apparatus. STAGNANT PONDS OF. WATEit TO BE REMOVED. The Surveyor was instructed to take steps forth- with for the removal of several ponds of stagnant water at Barry Dock. BEGINNING AT HOME FIRST. It was decided to call the attention of the Slaughterhouse Committee to the need of conve- niences at the Slaughterhouse. MUST FIND YOUR OWN LAMPS. At the last meeting of the Health Committee a request was made that a lamp in High-street, Barry, should be moved to a position in front of the Methodist Chapel there. The Surveyor now reported that if the lamp was moved to the proposed position it would be 37 yards from the next lamp on one side and (;5 yards from the lamp on the other. The Cleric suggested that the deacons of the chapel should purchase a lamp and place it upon their own ground. They could light it as required. The Chairman pointed out that they had already refused the Church-goers at Barry a similar request. Mr. Thomas (Hayes) thought the proposed altera- tion would not be fair toother people. It was decided to refuse the application. NEW- LAMPS FOR OLD." Attention was called to the lOO-candle power lamp in front of the late Public Hall, Barry, and it was decided to replace it by two 20-candle power lamps, the building having ceased to fee a public hall. It was decided not to light the lamps during the month of June, and to now increase the wages of the lamp-lighters by 2s. 6d. per week, the.Surveyor having informed the meeting that the men have to make three journeys each night for the sum of 7s. 6d. per week-about 4d. per journey. This was all the business of importance.

REVIEWS. THE ENGLISH ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE,—The April number of this journal is even more interest- ing than' its predecessors. It is well-written, while tha letterpress is clear and all that'is to be desired. To those who desire to read religious 0 history the article by Mr. Wyke Bayliss on The Likeness of Christ," are well worthy of considera- tion, and the writer by his clear argument shows that the likenesses of Our Saviour as presented to our gaze at the present day has handed down from generation to generation. The Lay of Earl Harold," by Charles Kingsley, is a beauti- ful poem, while the writer of the article on The Edinburgh Forgeries" has done much to show up how easily people in search of the antique are made the victims of clever forgers. Of course there is the pleasant side of the magazine, and the "pleasures" of gardening are well brought forth in the very amusing sketch, How Totnkins enjoyed it." We understand that in the May number "A National poem to celebrate the open- ing of the Imperial Institute," by Rudyard Kipling, .1' wili appear, together with much other interesting matter. While writing with all the scientific knowledge of a great astronomer, Camille Flammarion in his marvellous story Omega The End of the World," which begins in the April number of The Cosmopolitan, magazine, keeps the reader at the highest point of excitement by his vivid description of the alarm and despair excited by the approach of a comet whose collision with the earth had been declared by astronomers inevitable. The de- scription begins at a time when the business of the world has been suspended, and at a great mass- meeting held in the Institute of France, we hear the discussion of scientists as to the possibility of a second deluge, the drying up of all the surface water of the globe, or the total destruction of human life by cold, together with all the possible phases of death paralleled by the history of the moon. For scientific statement and sensational effect this characteristic production of French genius is unique, and the reader who reads this marvellous story--and if he begins it he will certainly finish it—will have assimilated without effort, a compact store of scientific knowledge. In this way, apart from its absorbing interest, this remarkable piece of fiction will have a distinct. scientific value. HEARTH AND HOME.—We have received an advance copy of Hearth and Ilonta for April, and find it retains its high standard of excellence. Among the many interesting articles are the fol- lowing :—" Ladies and their Dressmaking. Early to Bed and Early to rise," Serge, Alpacca, and Satin," Spring Cleaning," and Avoid Exaggeration in Dress." Under the heading of I? A Royal Dress-Designer appears the following Princess Henry of 13attenberg personally de- signs most of her own dresses (says The Cricketand she is very particular about having tho designs minutely carried out in every detail. One of her ladies-in-waiting brings them up to London, takes them to her Royal High- ness's dressmaker, and explains all the details. If any one of them is forgotten in the making of the dress, the Princess invariably notices the omission, and has it rectified. Princess Christian is not nearly so exigent, although she, too, has strong ideas on the subject of dress, and never conforms to a fashion unless she thoroughly approves of it. She is as fond of bright colours as the Duchess of Teck. Princess May, on the contrary, likes sober hues, and may often be seen in black even when not in mourning. "FULLER'S" is the title given to a monthly news- paper published by this enterprising firm in. Regent's-street, London. In the Easter Double Number now before us we find, in addition to the usual features, many unique ideas for Easter deco- rations, novelties for souvenirs, etc. 'It is well wortli,t, studying, and our lady readers will be interested in considering the many useful hints contained in its pages. THE CATHOLIC FIRESIDE.—The April number of this journal is to hand, and is of a very enter- taining character.

In addition to a continued tale there is also a couple of complete stories, while "Household Science and Women's Chat-Box contains much I interesting matter.
