I Aff TROUBLES AT BRIDGEND At a meeting of the Bridgend and Cow- bridge Board of Guardians on Saturday, Mr T. J. Job presiding, it was resolved by a majority of two that the Press should be ad- J-~ A.1 T i n A. T> l muteu LU i/ii« <11 vTuvt;ruiiiei-ii» DUarU Illt!Ulry which is being held on Wednesday into the differences which have arisen amongst the nursing staff at the Workhouse Infirmary. A report by the House Committee was sub- mitted, which stated that Nurse Broughton, the superintending nurse, had refused to hand over to the workhouse master the nurses' report book, which was completed. The committee recommended that the superintending nurse be requested to hand over all completed books to the master for safe custody. The Rev. T. B. Phillips (chairman of the committee) alleged that the leaves relating to the friction at the infirmary had been torn out of the book. The recommendation was adopted. Mr T. W. Job moved that the resolution co divide the Board into three permanent fixed committees for the administration of out-relief be rescinded. He alleged that the Board had passed the resolution under the misapprehen- sion that it simply meant the division of the Board into three committees instead of two, and that it would not prevent members from attending any committee. Mr Cox (Ogmore) seconded the motion. Mr T. C. Jones opposed the motion, and said there was too great a tendency for members to follow up cases they were particularly inter- ested in. He did not think it right for a public man to be in the capacity of advocate and judge. (Hear, hear.) Mr Edward Edwards said that those who proposed the first resolution were very mean and sly in putting in the word permanent. Mr Cox That's it. Ram it down. The Chairman protested agamet Mr Edwards's language Mr Edwards Well, that is my opinion. Mr Edwards added that those who wished a fixed permanent committee thought the Board showed too much partiality to the poor. These people were constantly suspicious of others. They would shut others out altogether if they' could and do the business themselves Mr Cox That's what they want. Mr John Howell, Maesteg, said that it was the Maesteg members who stayed behind chiefly for out-relief work, and the other mem- bers thought that mischievous. The motion was carried by a large majority. On the motion of Mr D. H. Price, it was decided to have three committees "instead of two under the arrangement formerly in vogue. Mr George Howell, Brynmenyn, was ap- pointed clerk of the works for the new In- firmary. Information was received that the charge for patients at the Glamorgan County Asylums would be 10s 6d instead of 9s lid per week.
