GAMBLING ON THE STREETS AT BARRY DOCK. IT is full time the attention of the public, and the local police in particular, should be drawn to the fact that gambling takes place on an extensive scale on the streets at Barry Dock. Notoriously is this the case every day in broad daylight on the pavement near the entrance to the Barry Company's property in Dock View- road, Barry Dock, where, almost at any time, bookmakers-of both sexes—may be seen victimising the low-class crowds who habitually" loaf" about this spot. The same may be said of Holton-road and Thompson-street after dark, and Ave are informed, on reliable authority, that the practice is most extensively and continually indulged in. In other respects gambling is also very freely II carried on in the district, and we are surprised that those who feel an interest in the well-being of the town do not take steps to strengthen the hands of the police, and assist them in stamping out an evil which is rapidly gaining ground in our midst.

A DECIDED BOON TO 'OST OFFICE SAVINGS' BANK DEPOSITORS. The newly autho- rised withdrawal of money from the Post Office Savings Bank by telegraph has now been so ex- pedited that instead of several hours being occupied in the process (the department having only bound itself to pay out the money on the day of application "), depositors in any part of London or the surburbs can actually obtain the sum they require within forty minutes, and in any pare of the United Kingdom, including the remotest points of Scotland and Ireland within the hour. For this boon great credit is due to the present energetic Controller of the Post Office Savings Bank. It may comfort the timid at Barry, Pen-

LOCAL PORTS AXD THI COMING CHOLERA SEASON. arth, &c., to learn that no anxiety is felt by Dr Thorne, the medi- cal officer of the Local Government Board, of the virulent outbreak of cholera at Lisbon invading our shores. In 1890 and 1892 special orders were issued to the sanitary authorities at the different ports of entry in this country. These instructions are still in force, and, it is believed, are sufficient to pre- vent that dangerous disease from being intro- duced by arrivals from abroad. Meanwhile, the sanitary survey of the kingdom, begun a few years ago, is making rapid progress, and in a short time it is hoped Great Britain, at least, will be so mapped out that the authorities will be better able than ever to grapple with and remove plague spots wherever they may be discovered. The Local Government Board must not, however, overlook the fact that they have just declined to sanction the Barry Local Board's application for power to schedule Sully Island for the purposes of the site of a fever hospital for the port, and for some time, at least, no other site can possibly be available.

BARRY LOCAL BOARD AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENT ARREARS. "Tobeforewa.rned is to be forearmed." The legal position of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board with reference to the recovery of money spent upon the carrying out of private improvements in the district is clearly defined, for at a meeting of the Finance Committee on Thursday last, Mr J. Arthur Hughes, the clerk, reported that orders for payment, with costs, of the claims made for private improvements by the Local Board had been made by the District County Court Judge, with power, should settle- ment not be effected within three months, to realize on the sale of the property of the defaulters. An opinion was expressed by the committee that the full power should be exercised, and that proceedings be taken against those parties who were in arrears with their annual payments under this head of the present system, which covers five years, it being considered unjust to the present inhabitants generally to pay more than their proportion in the district rate to the advantage of new comers.

BARRY SHEBEEN FREQUENTERS FINED. William Piddell was charged at Barry Dock Police Court, on Thursday afternoon last, by Acting-sergeant Herbert Evans, with being present afc a shebeen at 44, G-ueret-street, Barry Dock, on the 2211d ultimo. Defendant did not appear and a warrant was ordered to be issued.—For the same offence, Elizabeth Williams, a young- woman, was fined 7s. 6d, or seven days' hard labour.—John Baker, for a like offenca, in Foster-street, Cad- oxton, was fined 5s. and costs. The presiding magistrates were Messrs O. H. Jones, G-. Nealc, and J. Lowiloa.

LLANDOUGH AND COGAN U.D. SCHOOL BOARD ELECTION. COMMENTS ON THE DIFFERENT CANDIDATES. As announced in our issue of last week, the triennial election of the School Board for the Llandough and Cogan United District will take place on Friday, the 18th instant. The nomina- tions are to be sent in by four p.m. on Monday next, to Mr A. J. Harris, clerk to the Guar- dians, Cardiff. Of the" old" members, we learn that three (Messrs J. Duncan, J.P., J. Pavey, and W. Brown) are seeking re-election, together with an army of about a dozen new hands. As the Board is composed of only five members, it will be seen that there will be many aching hearts after the ball is over." In giving a brief outline of the main features of the contest, we wish our readers to under- stand that we do not presume to recommend any particular candidates, we having confidence enough in the Cogan people to know that they will elect the best men. Unfortunately, a most undesirable feature has been introduced for the first time since the formation of the Board— some 12 years ago--a struggle for supremacy between Church and Dissent. Still, we venture to think that the people of the district will have sufficient good sense to rise above such petty jealousy, and vote for the five most qualified for the posts. The following is a list of gentlemen—some already nominated—who have been requested to allow themselves to be nominated," and most of whom have consented." We also append a few remarks about each nominee which may be of value to the electors MIt J. DUNCAN, J.P., of Llandough, a mem- ber of the old Board, elected to fill a vacancy about twelve months ago, is a gentleman highly qualified for the honour, and, should he be elected, no doubt he will be unanimously ap- pointed chairman of the Board. REV F. E. WILLIAMS, M.A., curate of the Cogan Mission, seems also to be specially quali- fied for the honour he is seeking. He has laboured hard for the Cogan Church, has visited most consistently, and is respected by all sections of the community. MR E. B. RILEY has done his work on the Local Board so thoroughly, and has done so much for the people of Llandough and Cogan, that he is a certainty. MR W. L. NORRIS. as the representative for Morristown and the West Cottages, has a special claim, and, besides, he is as straight as an arrow-just the man to look after the ratepayers* interests. MR J. FRAZE.-I PROUD, the popular and successful conductor of the Blue Ribbon Choir, and also the conductor of the Methodist Free Church Choir, Cogan, is a most promising young man. Always of a jovial disposition, a special favourite with children, and a man im- mensly popular with everybody, his chances certainly seem very good. Of the working-men candidates there are far too many aspirants. They are Messrs J. Pavey (old member), W. Brown (old member)* John Manley, R. Price, and J. H. Hill. The working-class should certainly be represented, and could, without much difficulty, select a man to represent them from the above list. Mr PAVEY, who has been a member of the board since its formation, has a fair following but Mr Brown has left the district, and thus will not be seriously considered by the voters, although, had he still resided in the district, no doubt he would have polled very heavily. Mr J. H. Hill is considered by many to be far too young and inexperienced. Mr Manley has a fair following, and will, doubtless, poll well. Mr R. Price is also greatly fancied by a large number of working-men and we may add he is secretary to several working-men's societies. At present it appears as if the choice of the labouring classes lies between Messrs Price and Manley. Other names suggested for nomina- tion are Mr J. Bryant, the popular conductor of the Cogan Military Band and an old resident of the place Mr E. Seys, late of Cogan, an employee of the Penarth Slipway and Mr Sidford, as staunch a Churchman as the parish. contains. Should all the above-named seek election we fancy the elected five will be found among the following :-Messrs J. Duncan, Morris, Riley, Proud, Price, Williams, Manley, and Pavey.
