BARRY AND CADOXTON LOCAL BOARD. SEVERAL IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS PASSED. The monthly meeting of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board was held on Friday afternoon last at Cadomton, present-Dr P. J. O'Donnell (chairman), Major-General Lee. Dr Treharne, Messra J. C. Meggitt, J. Jewel Williams, B. Lewis, George Thomas, W. Thomas (The Hayes), F. P. Jones- Lloyd, W. Paterson. and W. Thomas (Cadoxton), with Mr J. Arthur Hughes (clerk), Mr J. C. Pardoe purveyor). Dr Neale. J.P. (medical officer), Mr T. W- Lewis (collector), and Mr A. E. Leyshon(inspector). THE ALLE ENCROACHMENT ON THE GIBBON'S DOWN-ROAD. The Clerk read a letter from Mr R. Spickett Thomas with respect to a resolution passed by the Public Works Committee to remove a gate placed by Mr Thomas on the public road leading to Gibbon's Down, wherein Mr Thomas explained that the gate was erected in order to keep out stray cattle, and he would undertake to remove the same when called upon by the Board.—Mr W. Thomas (Cadoxton) suggested that the gate might -be allowed to remain provided it was not locked, amd that Mr Thomas gave an undertaking to remove it when requested.—The Clerk explained the Board had no legal power to enter into such an undertaking, tha road being a public one, and must not be encroached upon.—The Chairman said there was no doubt Mr Thomas was troubled with a large number of stray cattle and horses, and this was a nuisance which would soon have to be dealt with.—Mr J. Jewel Williams said it was customary to place gates upon common property in other districts, and he did not see why Mr Thomas could not be allowed to do the same.—Mr W. Thomas (The Hayes) said horse and cattle straying were a bigger nuisance than the gate would be.-Eventually the recommendation of the Public Works Committee was adopted. DANGEROUS STATE OF CHURCH-ROAD, CADOXTON. General Lee drew attention to the dangerous wtate of Church-road, Cadoxton.—The Chairman replied the road was a private one, but probably -the dangerous portion could be dealt with the aame as the unfenced quarries had been. CONVERTING A STABLE INTO A BAKEHOUSE. Mr Jones-Lloyd drew attention to a plan sent in by Mr John Jones, Holton-road. for the conver- man of a stable into a bakehouse at the back ot his property. He explained that in the original plan a drain was shown running through the stable, Arat thin was incorrect, as no such drain existed.- It was therefore decided that an amended plan be asked for. THE INSPECTORSHIP OF BOATS AND BATHING. The Clerk reported that a large number of appli- cations had been received for the post of inspector of boats and bathing on Barry Island, and it was decided to hold a special meeting of the Health Committee on Tuesday evening, at 7.150, to deal with the same. APPLICATION FOR THEATRICAL LICENSE. Mr Solomon Barnett, Cardiff, made application for the renewal of the dramatic license with respect to the Iddesleigh Hall Theatre, at Cadoxton, and in doing so stated he was prepared to accept any restrictions the Board might impose upon him, but he trusted they would be able to see their way clear to grant the full provisions of ,th-i license.—Mr Jones-Lloyd moved, and Mr George Thomas seconded, that the license be renewed subject to the usual restrictions, which included the prohibition of the sale of intoxicating drinks on the premises.—The motion was agreed TO. Mr Meggitt being the only member who did eat vote. LETTER OF APOLOGY FOR ABSENCE. Mr Robert Forrest wrote expressing regret at his inability to be present at the meeting, having to leave home that afternoon to attend his sister's funeral in Scotland. THE SCAVENGING CONTRACT. Tenders were received for the contracts for the scavenging of the district in four sections, but in -E'aCh case Mr David Paulett was decidedly the lowest, and his tenders were accordingly unani- mously accepted. THE BOARD AND THE BARRY COMPANY'S BILL It was resolved that the official seal of the Board he affixed to an agreement with the Barry Railway Company with respect to the concessions granted by the latter in connection with the pro- visions of the bill they were now promoting in Varliamtnt. the Board having raised certain objections to the Company's proposals where the public interests of the district were threatened. MB. BENJAMIN LEWIS AND THE PALMERSTOWN FOOTPATH. Mr Benjamin Lewis asked whether the Local Board had provided in the agreement for the pro- tection of the public footpath leading to Palmers- rown.-The Clerk replied in the negative.—Mr Lewis said it appeared to him the Board had acted more cowardly in connection with this road than anything else.—The Chairman said the Board did iaot feel justified in calling a town's meeting to obtain permission to oppose the Barry Bill on this ground.—Mr J. J. Williams We would not get the permission if we did call a meeting.—Mr George Thomas remarked if the Board quibbled over the agreement in this way they would be in the same position as the Cardiff Corporation. The terms of the agreement had been unanimously agreed to at the special meeting held a week or two previous.- Mr J..1. Williams moved that the seal of the Board tie affixed to the agreement as submitted by the derk and agreed to by the solicitors of the Barry Company.—Mr Jones-Lloyd seconded, and it was carried.—Mr B. Lewis asked whether the Board were now in a position to go into the question of the Palmerstown road.—Mr George Thomas The matter is in the same position as before. Nothing fcaa been done by the Board.—Mr J. J. Williams reminded the Board that Mr Forrest had distinctly stated at the special meeting that a railway run- wing over a public footpath did not interfere with the rights of the public thereto.—General Lee did not think Mr Forrest was quite correct in that opinion.—The matter then dropped. THE PROPOSED DIVERSION OF THE BUTTRILLS- ROAD. Mr J. C. Meggitt brought forward his resolution to the effect that the Board's application to quar- ter sessions for the diversion of the old highway .from Holton-road to the Buttrills be deferred.- Mr W. Thomas (Cadoxton) asked whether Mr Meggitt was in order in bringing up the question. -Mr Meggitt explained that all he wanted was to have the matter deferred. He did not intend aaoving that the previous resolution be rescinded at all.—Mr George Thomas said he did not think the Board quite realised its position at the pre- vious meeting when they voted in connection with 4his matter. The feeling, so far, he understood, was simply in favour of approving of the plans.— The Clerk said Mr Meggitt's motion implied the rescinding of the previous resolution, because the purveyor and himself had already taken steps to bring the application before quarter sessions.—Mr Meggitt urged that it was desirable to defer the matter until the Board had completed the gas and water purchase, as the diversion of this road, and the formation of the proposed new one, would represent a further heavy liability upon the rates. —Mr J. J. Williams Hear, hear."—Mr William Thoma.s (Cadoxton) was proceeding to speak when Mr J. J. Williams raised an objection, and said Mr Thomas was out of order, whereupon Mr William Thomas grew excited, and indulged in irrelevant personal insinuations towards Mr Williams. the Chairman, however, promptly calling him to order. — The Chairman pointed out that Mr Meggitt had not given the usual aonth's notice to bring forward his motion con- nequently. he did not think the standing orders of tke board had been complied with.—The Clerk suggested that the application to quarter sessions might be proceeded with, and an arrangement could be made v/ith Mr Forrest, as representative of those interested in the land, that the work of forming the new road be deferred for a time.—Mr -William Thomas (Cadoxton) said he did not wish to have money spent on the road at once. but simply to make the necessary arrangements, so that the proper gradients might be observed with regard to the adjoining streets.—Mr George Thomas said once the order of the court of quarter sessions had been obtained, the board could be called upon at any moment to proceed with the work. He had no personal motive in the matter whatever, and the position he had taken up in con- nection therewith was in the interests of the rate- payers generally. (Hear, hear.)-The Chairman, reviewing the discussion, said the board had to decide between two proposed new roads, and this was considered the best of the two. (Hear, hear.) At the same time, he did not anticipate the road would have to be made at once. Still, he did not think it was a great burden, because all parts of the district were entitled to good road approaches. (Hear, hear.)-General Lee inquired whether the board was in a similar position to a railway com- pany. They might obtain the consent of quarter sessions to the diversion of the road, but the carry- ing out of the scheme might be deferred for a time.—The Clerk replied that the board might be called upon at any moment to make the new road. -Mr J. J. Williams inquired whether the owners of property in the prospective streets forming part of the proposed new road would be liable for the private improvements thereat.-The Clerk replied in the negative.—Mr J. J. Williams I thought so. -The Chairman That is not a hardship at all, because the same argument applies to Court-road. -Mr George Thomas said he would not accept any insinuations with regard to Court-road, because at the time when Court-road was formed he had no pecuniary interest whatever in that portion the cost of which was borne by the rates and with regard to the upper portion, the work was paid for by the company of which he was representative.— The matter was then allowed to drop for the present, Mr Meggitt remarking that if an arrangement could be made with Mr Forrest not to press for the formation of the new road at once his object in raising the question would be reached. A DRAINAGE QUESTION AT BARRY. A letter was read from Messrs Stephenson and Alexander, on behalf of Mr E. R. Moxey, J.P., Barry House, with respect to the want of proper drainage to his premises and the existence of a nuisance in an old surface drain close by. After a discussion, it was resolved that the inspector of nuisances visit the place and report thereon. THE FIRE BRIGADE COMMITTEE. It was resolved to convene a meeting of the fire brigade committee for Thursday evening, the 7th inst., at 7.30. y THE NATIONAL FOOTPATH PRESERVATION SOCIETY. A communication was received from the Natioiial Footpath Preservation Society pointing out the desirability of becoming affiliated with that body, the entrance fee being 10s 6d per annum, which included legal advice in connection with public footpaths, etc.—Mr B. Lewis moved that the Board join the society, and Mr George Thomas seconded—The Clerk pointed out that the auditor of the Board's accounts would not pass the amount required and the difficulty was overcome by several members promising to subscribe the required sum, the resolution being adopted. REMOVAL OF TELEGRAPH POLES AT CADOXTON. The Clerk read a letter from the Postmaster- General applying for the consent of the Board to alter the line of telegraph from near the Biglis signal box towards the Cardiff-road, Cadoxton.— Granted. This was all the public business. -————-—

GENERAL LEE AND THE BOYS'…
GENERAL LEE AND THE BOYS' BRIGADE AT CARDIFF. The first annual inspection of the 5th Cardiff Com- pany of the Boys' Brigade took place on Thursday evening the 31st instant, in the People's-hall, Loudoun-square, the inspecting officer being Major-General H. H. Lee, R.E., J.P., Dinas Powis. In the unavoidable absence of Mr Clifford Cory, J.P., the chair was occupied by Mr E. R. Moxey, who was supported by General Lee and the Rev. T. W. Fawthrop. During the evening the boys went through a number of exereises in a highly creditable manner. These included physical drill with arms by a squad of the company, the manual and firing exercises, etc. General Lee, who wore the undress uniform of a colonel of the Submarine Miners Royal Engineers, was received with a general salute. He made a very close scrutiny of the ranks after which he expressed himself as highly pleased with the smart appearance of the boys, their neat equipment and erect bearing, while their discipline was very good, and their drill highly creditable. He impressed upon them the need of good form "in connection with this move- ment, which required that they should be courteous, respectful, and unselfish. When they went into their summer camp he hoped that he would have the opportunity of meeting them again and seeing how they got along there.—Mr Elms, the officer in charge of the company, then submitted a statement showing that the number of boys in the 5th com- pany was 85, the total number who had entered since the formation of the company in November being 103. The total income was A24 19s 5d, and the expenditure about £26. Prizes were distributed to those having the best records. During the evening several selections were played by the fife and drum band. There was a large attendance of the general public.

TABERNACLE WELSH INDEPENDENT…
TABERNACLE WELSH INDEPEN- DENT CHAPEL, BARRY DOCKS. OPENING SERVICES AND CEREMONY. ADDRESSES BY MR ROBERT DUNCAN, MR GEORGE THOMAS, AND OTHER GENTLEMEN. Special services in connection with the opening of the new Tabernacle Welsh Independent Chapel, Holton-road, Barry Docks, were held on Sunday and Monday last, when the Revs J. B. Jones, B.A., Brecon, and D. G. Williams, Ferndale, preached eloquent and appropriate sermons to large con- gregations. The singing was also most effective, under the conductorship of Mr William Harris, Mr Ivor Thomas, of Barry, presiding at the organ. Collections were made at each service in aid of the building fund. THE OPENING CEREMONY. The formal ceremony of laying memorial stones in connection with the new chapel was performed on Monday afternoon by Mr Robert Duncan, The Buttrills, and Mr George Thomas, F.S.I., Cardiff those gentlemen being presented with handsome silver trowels, with ivory handles, each bearing a suitable inscription, the graceful souvenir being handed to Mr Duncan by Mr Jenkin Lewis, and to Mr George Thomas by Mr Daniel Lewis, deacons of the chapel. After the ceremony, the numerous company entered the chapel, where a meeting was held under the presidency of the Rev J. B. Jones, Brecon and amongst those present were the Revs D. G. Williams, Ferndale; W. E. Evans, Bonvil- stone D. H. Rees, Barry W. Tibbot, Cadoxton; J. Honey, Barry Docks W. Williams, Cadoxton T. Pandy John, Barry Docks Christmas J. Lewis. Barry Tertius Phillips, Cardiff T. Jones, Maindy D.

Thomas, John Lewis, Station-street Captain E. O. Evans Jenkin Lewis, D. Farr, John Jones, Holton-road, D. Edwards, Rees Evans, &c. The Rev D. Davies having opened the meeting with prayer, Mr George Thomas delivered an address, in which he sincerely thanked the members for allow- ing him the privilege to be so closely associated with the opening of that place of worship-(hear, hear,) — and trusted they would live long to enjoy the privilege of worshipping God therein, and be the means of accomplishing much good work in the district. (Hear, hear.) A prominent point worthy of notice in connection with the town of Barry was the religious zeal displayed in all parts, for almost before the erection of houses in the district persons began to apply for land whereon to erect places of wor- ship. (Hear, hear.) On this particular land there were five sites secured for churches and chapels, but this edifice was the first to be erected. He understood from the committee that they were all pleased with the building. A large portion of the praise, he considered, was due to the excellent committee appointed to manage the affairs. They had gone thoroughly into every detail, and every- thing submitted was carefully and fully carried out by them. (Hear, hear.) The speaker also tendered a similar tribute to Mr Jenkin Meredith, the efficient clerk of works, who, the speaker said, had been most zealous in his work, his heart and soul being, he believed, in the work of the erection of the building. (Hear, hear.) He sheuld not like to sit down before expressing his and the members' thanks to the able contractors, Messrs E. R. Evans and Bros., who had carried out the work promptly and well, and he trusted the came would continue to prosper in the neighbourhood. (Cheers.) The Chairman announced the collection, and stated a cheque for d620 had been received from Mr Robert Duncan, and another for dE25 from Mr George Thomas. (Cheers.) HISTORY OF THE CHURCH. I The Secretary, Mr John Lewis, Station-street, gave a brief history of the formation and progress of the cause in the Barry Dock district, in the course of which he said that in consequence of the opening of the dock at Barry a large number of the members and congregation of the Welsh Con- gregational Church at Penarth came to reside in the Barry district, and owing to the rapidity with which the population increased the Nonconformist places of worship were found inadequate to ac- commodate the large number of Nonconformists daily making their residence here. In January, 1890, the members of the Penarth Welsh Congre- gational Church held a meeting to consider the matter, and discuss the advisability of erecting a place of worship at Barry, a resolution being unanimously passed to establish a chapel in Holton-road, under the auspices of the church at Penarth. A committee was formed to carry out arrangements, and with the valuable assistance and guidance of the Rev W. G. Williams, pastor, the present site was secured, and an iron building erected thereon to seat nearly 300 persons, at a cost of 1286, which sum had since been paid. Services were first commenced on Sunday, April 20th, 1890, the Rev W. G. Williams officiating. The congregation numbered forty, chiefly those who had removed from Penarth, and the services were conducted throughout by various ministers of the denomination. On Sunday, October 25th, 1890, their transfer letters were received from the church at Penarth, and the members then con- stituted themselves into a complete church, with separate officers, and according to the rites of the Independentdenomination. On November 6th, 1890, they were accepted as a church into the East Glamorgan Welsh Association of Independents. At the end of 1890 the membership wasas follows -By transfer from Penarth, 45, including two deacons from various other churches, 29 by pro- fession or fellowship, six total, 80 with a Sunday school attendance of 102. The church made the following numerical progress duriner the four years ending April 2Cth, 1894 :-Received into Church membership by profession, 45 by transfer letters, 92 by transfer, 23; dismissed, 4 by death, 4 the membership at present nnmbering 153. with a Sunday school attendance of 173. The collections during the four years amounted to upwards of £ 1,100 the building ex- penses amounting to £2.104 6s. In conclusion, Mr Lewis said in connection with the church the essential elements of cuccess, namely, unity, co- operation, and steadfast unwavering faith, were noticeable. (Applause.) The Chairman having made reference to the satisfactory report, Mr Robert Duncan delivered a suitable address. He remarked he did not happen to be an English- man, but was of Scotch nationality, and he did not think there was such a very great difference between the pronunciation of Scotch and that of Welsh. He thanked the members very much for his connection with the church, being an utter stranger to their chapel, and he was, therefore, extremely sensible of the honour conferred upon him. It gave him great pleasure to assist in this ceremony, it being one of those occasions which should never fail to successfully tempt a man to come from his usual sphere and extend his utmost assistance. (Hear, hear.) He sincerely hoped the church would continue to prosper. Although he was not aware of the fact before, he had noted from the report that the members, composed, as they were, mainly of working men. had given their contributions most freely, and it plainly showed that their hearts were in tins work. (Cheers.) He must say, however, he should like to see a little more unity and a little more Christian charity existing among the different denominations and Christian people. He could not understand why this should not be the case. for all were undoubtedly seeking the same end. (Hear, hear.) Many people, he believed, remained outside a place of worship because of the lack of unity in religious matters. Persons of different religious views seldom held any kind of intercourse with one another. This was not as it should be. There should rather be greater unity, and while I they were pursuing their different courses a certain amount of pulling together should exist, each believing himself as sincere in his belief as the members of other denominations. (Hear, hear.) He congratulated the church upon securing such a convenient place of worship, and trusted the same would soon be free from debt. (Hear, hear.) If at any time they were in a strait, and he could assist them, he would be happy to do so, but nothing led to self-respect more than learn- ing to help themselves. (Cheers.) The Rev D. G. Williams, Ferndale, expressed the gratitude of the church to Mr Duncan and Mr Thomas for their kindness that day, and added he believed much good would follow from the proceedings connected with the memorial stone laying. Such ceremonies brought together people of different opinions and different feelings, and many found out for the first time in their lives there was not such a great difference between different denominations as some people were apt to think. (Hear, hear.) Mr Thomas, he be- lieved, belonged to the Church of England, and, therefore, in a sense, the chapel had been estab- lished. (Laughter.) Mr Duncan, in reality, be- longed to the Congregationalists, but it always took a Scotchman sometime to definitely make up his mind. (Laughter and applause.) He hoped Mr Duncan and Mr Thomas would live long in the grateful memory of that church, and that the chapel would be as successful in the future as it had in the past. (Hear, hear.) The Rev T. Pandy John, Barry Dock, also ex- pressed gratification at seeing the edifice completed and opened for Divine worship, and he felt sure the chapel would be the birthplace of many pre- cious souls. Although he belonged to another denomination the difference between them was not sufficient to prevent a complete spirit of unity. Although there was a great deal of sin surround- ing them, they should be thankful that so much true piety and Christianity existed as well, and he hoped the members of the different places of worship and others in the district would put their shoulders together to stem the evils around them. (Hear, hear.) The Rev D. H. Rees, Barry, in a short address, said a great deal of enterprise and devotion had been shown in the erection of this chapel, and he trusted the blessing of God would follow the members in their labours. The Rev W. E. Evans, of Carmel, Bonvilstone, also spoke very effectively, and said that the members ought to be proud of the handsome building they had had erected. He thought that the religious condition of a town or country could easily be ascertained by the number of places of worship which it contained, and he was glad to see the Barry district was to the front in this respect. (Hear, hear.) The proceedings concluded with the singing of a hymn and tea was afterwards supplied to the strangers and others present. We have been informed that the debt remaining up to date on the building fund amounts to £ 1,633 lis 2Qd. It 9 2 should be added that Mr Edward Davies, J.P., Llandinam, has also contributed £ 20, and Mr T. Webb, J.P., :£:3 3s, towards the building fund. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING. The chapel, which is a handsome building, and an ornament to Holton-road, takes the place of a temporary iron structure erected about four years ago. The structure is 47ft. long by 34ft. 6in. wide, and is 25ft. high from floor to ceiling. It is approached from Holton-road, and is fitted with a gallery and pitchpine seating, with a handsome pulpit in pitchpine. On the ground floor and gallery there is accommodation for 475 persons. The chapel was used for the first time two or three Sun- days ago, when the acoustic properties of the sacred edifice were found to be excellent, and the pulpit and gallery are so well arranged that the minister obtains complete view and command of his congre- gation. The ceiling is designed with pitchpine beams and match board panelling. Underneath the chapel there is a schoolroom 34ft. by 27ft., divided by a partition in the middle, so that the room can be used as one large schoolroom or two class-rooms. The front is in the Renaissance style, with Forest stone dressings, and coloured cement work. The chapel was designed by the late firm of Messrs Seward and Thomas, architects, Cardiff, and completed under the personal super- vision of Mr Geo. Thomas. The contractors are Messrs E. R. Evans and Bros., of Barry and Cardiff and the clerk of works, Mr Jenkin Meredith, of Barry Docks, upon the skill of all of whom the work reflects the utmost possible credit. The chapel is heated by Messrs Constantine's patent stoves. The total cost of the whole building has been d61950, and the work has been carried out to the satisfaction of the committee of the chapel, and no extras have been incurred above the contract amount.
BARRY DOCKS AND THE CARDIFF…
BARRY DOCKS AND THE CAR- DIFF HARBOUR TRUST SCHEME. COMMENTS BY THE "SHIPPING WORLD." The current number of the Shipping World, commenting upon the proposed inclusion of Barry Docks in the Cardiff Harbour Trust Scheme states —'■ The inolusion of Barry Dock in a Cardiff Har- bour Trust raises questions of great difficulty and complexity. On ODe hand it is urged that it is a necessity, or the public owners of Cardiff Docks would have no guarantee against rate-cutting and dangerous competition. On the other hand, it is objected that Cardiff ought not to pledge the credit of her rates in a scheme of which Barry would have the benefit without raising a hand or contributing to the cost. There is, moreover, the Barry Railway, fast developing into a little system of its own, though this obstacle is lighly regarded in some quarters, where it is argued that the Mid- land Company, or some other trunk line, would gladly undertake to work the line and guarantee the dividend. On this point the Committee simply state that No. 4 scheme, taking in Barry, would include the rights of foreshore between Penarth Head and Barry Dock, the Barry Dock lands, and the adjoining railways necessary to the working of the dock. The map accompanying the Com- mittee's report deals solely with the lands, fore- shores, and dock undertakings between the Rumney river and Penarth. These comprise 2,900 acres, of which the Bute and Penarth Docks necessarily form the most part. There are 140 acres of Lord Bute's land on the south-west of Penarth Docks also scheduled, and the committee in this connection suggest that the amalgamation of all interests would most likely necessitate taking Penarth into the borough."
ICHURCH DEFENCE IN LLANDAFF…
CHURCH DEFENCE IN LLAN- DAFF DIOCESE. FURTHER MEETINGS TO BE HELD IN THE BARRY DISTRICT. The Lord Bishop of the Diocese has convened a meeting of the Diocesan Conference to be held at Card:ff on Tuesday, the 19th instant, to consider the Bill, which has been read a first time in the House of Commons, entitled 11 A Bill to terminate the establishment of the Church of England in Wales and Monmouthshire, and to roaie provision in respect of the temporalities thereof." The vicar of every parish, is also urged to provide for holding a meeting in his parish to protest against the Bill, the resolutions passed at such meetings to be sent to the secretary of the Diocesan Church Defence Committee, the vicar of Newcastle, Bridgend. We understand that further meetings for the same purpose will be held in the Barry district on early dates.
