HEALTH AND THE HOME.
HEALTH AND THE HOME. Dr. Bowie, of Cardiff, deprecates Isola- tion Hospitals and Sanatoria as weapons wherewith to combat the ravages of dis- ease and death. They do not, he says, probe to the root of the evil. The Doctor admits that a patient when removed from a hovel-where fresh air is taxed, where oxygen is at a discount, and where he has to subsist on poor food—to a sanatorium where he gets abundance of fresh air and good food, may improve in health. But if, after a brief stay at this haven of health the ma-ni is shipped back to his old unhealthy surroundings, the last state of that man is worse than the, first. It is quite evident that social and econo- mical experts are too apt to deal with effects and ignore causes. That "pre- vention is better thani cure" is no less true because it is trite. To provide am- bulances at the bottom of the precipice is commendable, but to fence the top is better. Those who try to arrest the vic- torious march of the Consumption demon Qre doing good work, but surely it would be far better if they were to beard the lion in its den—the nursery of disease and death. All doctors, whether medical or economical, will agree that it is better to strike ait the root of disease than to lop off the branches. To what extent should Parliament and local authorities interfere with the housing problem is a matter upon which economists and politi- cians disagree, but all people, whatever their political or economical complexion, will admit that to ensure strict observa- tion of the laws of hygiene and health should be the first plank in the platform of social reform, and how can we get social salvation until the homes of the people are clean and healthy ?
M erthyr Assessment Committee.
M erthyr Assessment Committee. This committee met on Saturday. There- were present: Mr D. Hopkins (chairman), Messrs. H. Jones,, D. Evarne, A. Davies, J. Lloyd, Dd. Hughes, Rees Rees, N. F. Hankey, J. Aurelius, and E. Edwards. WELL DONE, ABERDARE. Mr. David Hughes again mentioned ,that at Aberdare interest at the rate of £60 a year was made at the bank, be- cause the supplemental valuation lists were in early enough, and he did not see why the same thing should not be done at Merthyr. The Clerk replied that if the assistant overseers did not bring in the lists in proper time they could be- summoned. It was agreed to write to Mr. J. Jones, of Gelligaer, who, it was said, was the last one to submit the lists, LICENSED HOUSES. It wa,s agreed to adjourn appeals against the rating of public houses until the ex- pert valuer just engaged had made his re- port. There were a number of small appeals. -1- i1 i' ii -=- ■

i -:0:-THE DEVELOPMENT OF…
-:0:- THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOUNTAIN ASH. The little one has become* a thousand. Forty years ago Mountain Ash as a parish had no existence. 1111 the year 1866 it embarked on its parochial career. Prior to that Aberpemnar was part and parcel of Aberdare, its governing body being the Aberdare Board of Health. Its popula- tion at the time it assumed a separate existence was between 7,000 and 8,000, and the district rate was 2d. in the < £ To-day the population is about five times what it was 40 years ago, and the assess- able value of the district !has increased very much in the same proportion. Un- fortunately the district rate has increased out of all proportion to the rateable value and the population, for it has multiplied twelve-fold. There is, however, nothing strange in this, for it is characteristic of fast-growing parishes that the rate slides upward at a faster pace than the rate- able value does. One, notable feature in the parochial progress of Mountain Ash is the spirit of municipal enterprise which the parochial fathers have shown. The gas and water works were taken over from private owners, also the burial ground and the Workmen's Hall. That Mountain Ash is still rapidly growing is proved by the fact that about 500 houses are now in course of erection in the place. We have culled these interesting facts from a paper read by the Surveyor to the Mountain Ash District Council at the Sessional Meeting of Sanitary Inspec- tors last Saturday. The paper treated upon a subject that was appropriate for discussion at such a gathering. As Mr. Alfred Morgan observed, the massing to- gether of such large numbers of people in small areas involves large responsibili- ties, and imposes enormous obligations on parochial authorities. With the ex- pansion of urban life and the huddling together of human beings in towns and cities with limited breathing space, and oftentimes a defective supply of good water, and also an antiquated drainage system, the question of sanitation be- comes air impartanb one, and it will grow in importance as our urban communities ) grow and develop from villages to towns, and from towns to cities. To secure an efficient system of drainage and a good, water supply, the custodians of the pub- lic health at Mountain Ash have gone into great expense. But we have the as- surance of Dr. Evans that "the sanitary state of Mountain Ash is splendid," and that is a very consoling statement. Mountain Ash is still a town "in the make," and with a future to it, for Coun- cillor Thomas Jones whispers that it will, take two centuries and a half to exhaust its coal supply. Floreat Aberpennar!

Welsh National War Memorial. ENTERTAINMENT AT MOUNTAIN ASH. A military and dramatic entertainment in aid of the above fund was held at Mountain Ash on February 27th before- a crowded house sprinkled with a fair representation of His Majesty's Military and Police Forces. The Chairman, Mr. Isaac George, High Constable, made a few well-chosen remarks on the object of the fund, and without further ado pro- ceeded with the programme, calling upon the Mountain Ash Battalion Band to give a selection, entitled, "A Soldier's Life," w'hich was very well rendered, and re- ceived well-merited applause. This was followed by an exhibition of physical and bayonet exercise cleverly executed by a squad of the Mountain Ash Detachment of Volunteers, commanded by Sergt.-Inst. Lewis, which was greatly applauded. The third item, a serenade, entitled, "On the Ramparts" (Santis), was efficient- ly rendered by the Mountain; Ash Male- Voice Concert Party (conductor, Mr. T. Glyndwr Richards). An exhibition of Indian Club Swinging was to have been given by Private T. Andrews, but through indisposition he was unable to fulfil his engagement, ami his place was taken by Mr. Smith, of Aberdare, who gave a splendid display of the art of club swinging, and was. vociferously cheered and encored. This- was followed by an exhibition of cutlass. drill givev, by a squad of the Glamorgan Constabulary (Commander, Sergt. Phil- lips). This was very well executed, and had a good reception. The audience were next treated to a very fine rendering by the Male Voice Party of the chorus, entitled, 'The Tyrol.' which was followed by another selection by the band. A Military Farce, entitled, "An Affair of Honour,' was very well performed, the- caste being: — Major Limkey (of the Dragoons), Mr. A Devonald. Captain Carnage (of the Dragoons),. Lieut. J. E. Lewis. Doctor Clements, Lieut. T. E. Maiyon. Madiame. Tcmrville (a widow), Miss Scott. Martha (her attendant), Miss E. Scott. This was enthusiastically received by the audience, and the singing of "God Save the King" closed a very interesting- entertainment, and judging by the num- ber of people assembled, the funds of the. Memorial must have bean considerably augmenfted.
