Mountain Ash District Council
Mountain Ash District Council On Tuesday, Mr Griffith Evans, J.P., in the chair. The other members pres- ent were: Dr. R. D. Morgan, Major F. N. Gray, J.P., Capt. G. A. Evans, J.P., Messrs. Thomas Jones, Bruce Jones, D. Rogers, Noah Bowles, Evan Morris, James Evans, Charles Maddox, and William Davies, with Mr A. Pincombe (clerk), Mr F. Stock (accountant), Mr W. G. Thomas (surveyor), and Mr H. T. Jones (sanitary inspector). Abercynon Recreation Ground.—The committee which had charge of this matter presented their report, as fol- lows: "That the Clerk be instructed to write to the Bonvilstone Estate, and ask them if they are prepared to grant an access to the site of the proposed Re- creation Ground at the south end.—Re- solved that the Surveyor be instructed to consult Mr Bruce Jones as to the boundaries between the various mineral takings in, under, or adjacent to the site of the proposed Recreation Ground, and to report thereon to the next meeting of the committee."—Mr Bruce Jones now asked if a further reply had been re- ceived from the landowner.—The ClerK stated that it was only on the previous day that the plans had been sent on. Road Board.—The Road Board, ap- pointed by the Government, wrote ask- ing Mountain Ash to prepare a detailed schedule of all public roads and classify them, to enable the Board to apportion grants for road improvements. Mr Thomas Jones said this was a matter for the Surveyor to report.—The Sur- veyor said he had gone through the let- ter. The Road Board wanted them to take a census of the traffic at various points on the main road, for 6 days from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mr. Bruce Jones thought that the two main roads, that through Penrhiwceiber, and that through Newtown, would be sufficient to schedule.—Mr Rogers: What abo tt Ynysvbwl Road? Mr Bruce Jones: That is not a through road.—Surveyor: The Rhondda Road is not a through road.—Dr. Morgan No, it only leads to Penpych.-Mr Rogers: And a sheep path to Glyn Nedd.—Mr B. Jones sug- gestion that only two rpads be scheduled was carried. Fishing at Reservoirs.—The Glamor- gan Anglers' Club, whose address was 169 Mackintosh Place, Cardiff, wrote asking the Council to grant a lease of the fishing rights of the Mountain Ash reservoirs. The letter went on to state that the Club included members fro.n Mountain Ash district. Major Gray moved that the application be not en- tertained. The Council had come to the conclusion on a previous occasion that it was undesirable to have persons in- side the reservoir grounds. There was a great danger of pollution.—Mr Mad- dox asked if fishing was allowed at present, and the Surveyor replied in the negative.—Mr Bruce Jones: What 1)(;- comes of the fish who die of old age. Do they pollute drinking water?—Mr. E. Morris remarked that there was poaching going on at the reservoirs oc- casionally.—Mr Maddox moved that the request be granted, and Mr D. Rogers seconded.—Mr Thomas Jones supported Capt. Gray's motion, and added that the Council should strenuously oppose people going inside the reservoir area.— Mr James Evans asked if the practice was allowed elsewhere.—Surveyor: Car diff allow it for Cardiff residents only. Mr Rogers said he did not know of that restriction. He would prepared to do the same at Mountain Ash—allow the privilege to residents of Mountain Ash and district.—Major Gray said he saw, about four years ago, a tramp washing his feet in a stream running into the Cardiff Reservoir.—The meeting divided and the voting was as follows: For granting the request, Messrs. Chas. Maddox, D. Rogers, James Evans, and Dr. Morgan—4; against, Messrs. W. Davies, E. Morris, N. Bowles, G. A. Evans, F. N. Gray, Bruce Jones, Thos. Jones, and the chairman—8. Quality of Gas. — The Mountain Ash Tradesmen's Association, through Mr T. J. Edmunds, secretary, wrote complain- ing of the quality and supply of gas, and asking whether it was possible to better it.—The Surveyor said that instead of 14 candle power, they had lo £ c.p.— Capt. Evans said that the gas was rotten. On some nights in his home there was not enough light to read. The supply or the quality was rotten. Chairman: I have plenty of light in my house.—The Surveyor told Capt. Evans that his burners were probably defec- tive. Let the Association give concrete cases and the matter could be easily proved.—Major Gray remarked that v good deal of these complaints arose be- cause of the use of incandescent burn- ers. People used the mantles until they wore out, whereas the mantles and burners should be changed periodically. -Capt. Evans: I change my fittings every season.—Mr Bruce Jones They have been palming off old stuff on you. (Laughter.)—Capt. Evans: Oh no, I am not so soft as that.—Mr Noah Bowles said he had heard complaints, also, and asked whether the coal was right.—The Surveyor replied that the coal was not as good as some in the market, but the mixture was good enough. Mr Noah Bowles moved that the Association be asked to give definite cases, and iia the Surveyor test those lamps. — course was agreed to. Electric Light. Mr Bruce Jones wanted to know what progress was be- ing made with regard to the supply o electric light for Abc-reynon. The Clerk replied that he had written to various landlords with the view of ob- taining sites for the electric station, but no satisfactory replies had as yet been received. Ynysybwl Road.-A letter had been received from H. Snell, Surveyor of t»'e Windsor Estate, assenting to the cheaper scheme of road-widening offering „;ve the land. —Mr D. Rogers moved, and Mr James Evans seconded, that the Surveyor be AglSd Carry °ut the vvork' Necessitous Areas. The Mayor of W est Ham wrote pointing out that a conference was being convened for Thursday (to-day) in London to con sider the grants made in the'Budget to necessitous areas. The Chairman the Education Committee and the Di- rector of Education were annointed to attend. Local Censorship Mr J. T. Nt)"- man, Aberaman, on behalf of the Aber- dare Valley Branch of the Newsagents Association, wrote stating that they were prepared to adopt a suggsuon made at a previous meeting of tl.e Council, i.e., to form a local censorship among members of their Association, with respect to picture postcards. lilis had been done in Blackpool and places, but the difficulty always exis-eu in the case of persons outside the regu- lar newsagents and stationers. Those were the greatest offenders, and it would be a great advantage to aiow how to deal with them. Mr Rogers moved that the Clerk consider the matter and report to the next meeting of the Council as to their powers. Carried. Not Cranted. The South Wales Garden Cities Association, Cardiff. through Mr D. Lleufer Thomas (presi- dent) wrote asking the Council for the annual reports of their medical officer of health for the years 1909—13.—The Surveyor remarked that when a similar request was made some time ago, it was not granted. It was not advisable for their internal affairs to be given out broadcast.—On the motion of Major Gray it was resolved not to supply the reports. Viae not Wives. The International Society for the State Regulation of Vice asked the Council to be represent- ed at a conference.—Mr Bruce Jones: Regulation of wives, did you say H (Laughter.) -Clerk No, vice.—Major Gray: I move that Dr. Morgan attend at his own expense.—Dr. Morgan I know nothing about vice. (Laughter.) -No action was taken. Ynysybwl F.C.C.—The Free Church Council, Ynysybwl, wrote asking the Council to erect a chapel in the Ynysy- bwl Cemetery, so as to hold services there on the occasion of funerals.—Mr Thomas Jones asked how frequently was the chapel they had in another cemetery used ?—Surveyor It is used very, very rarely.—Mr Thomas Jones: I have never seen it used.—Mr Bruoo Jones said he was surprised that Ynysy. bwl people was making this request. He moved that the Clerk reply to the effect that they could not accede to I he request. It would only be throwing money away.—The motion was secona- ed and unanimously carried. New High Constable. The Chair- man congratulated Mr G. A. Evans on his appointment as High Constable, and added that he was very pleased that a member of that Council had been appointed to the ancient office. Mr Thomas Jones said he had been very pleased at the appointment. Capt. Evans was essentially a Mountain Ash man, though he was born at Aberdare. He (Mr Jones) had no doubt that Mr Evans would conduct the duties honest. ly and in a manner that would brin^ honour and glory to the office.-Mr E Morris endorsed the remarks of the Chairman and Mr Thos. Jones, and ex- pressed his joy that a Mountain Ash tiian had been appointed. He hoped they would give Penrhiwceiber and Abercynon a turn later on.—Mr Bruce Jones: What about Ynysybwl? (Laugh- ter.)—Capt. Evans, in responding, said he felt it was not a matter of per- sonal honour to himself, but he had ac- cepted the office because Mountain Ash was part and parcel of Miskin Higher. It was an office they should honour, if only for its antiquity, dating back as it did from the 13th century.

Municipal Lodging Houses.
Municipal Lodging Houses. Interesting Address at Aberdare by a Lady Councillor. Under the 'auspices of the local branches of the British League of Uni- tarian Women, Councillor Margaret Ashton, of Manchester, delivered a very useful and suggestive lecture on Friday evening on Municipal Lodging Houses for Men and Women." The meeting was held at the Higher Standard Girls' School, and was exceedingly well at- tended. Mr. R. H. Miles presided, and in his opening speech remarked that be had been announced on the bills as the High Constable. Well, he was among the "ex's" now. (Laughter.) lie was pleased to preside over that meeting be- cause he understood that Miss Ashton was no ordinary person. She was a Councillor of the City of Manchester, and that was no ordinary thing in it- self. Then again she was a sister to Lord Ashton, and a sister-in-law to Lord Bryce, who was a noted literary man, and who represented this country in Washington for many years. She was a niece to the late Wm. Hathbone, M.P., whose name was a household word in years gone by, and who was a great philanthropist. Miss Ashton had done excellent work in Manchester, where municipal lodging houses had been erected, and called after her name. (Applause.)—Miss Ashton, who was well received, jocularly referred to the chairman's remarks. There were, she said, plenty of members of Parliament and even Lords were common, but there was only one High Constable, and she hoped she would be worthy of a meet- ing presided over by a High Constable. Proceeding with her subject, Miss Ash- ton said that there was far more need of lodging houses for women than for men. The men were better able to look after themselves. She did not know what Aberdare thought of the proposal, but there was need of a shelter for women in every town and in every large village even. There were always a number of women who were homeless owing to some reason or other, who had to seek rooms with other families, or go to the workhouse. Were women well paid they might manage better, but as it was woman was the under dog of all, and provision should be made for her. It had taken Manchester six years to realise the necessity of such a home, though Manchester had made the mis- take of building too large a house in one place instead of small houses in various places. The community was re- sponsible for seeing tehat poor, respect- able and homeless women were not driven to houses of ill-fame, which was parctically the only places open to them when they were stranded. In Aberdare a small house with 4 or 8 beds would probably be sufficient, for there must be stray women even here. What became of colliers' widows and deserted wives? In Liverpool alone there were 8,000 de- serted wives. The expense to the community to provide decent homes for women who were without anyone to take care of them would be very small. Some people said, "Women can take care of themselves." Until women se- cured a living minimum wage no one had a right to say that women could take care of themselves. When a woman sought lodgings a hundred and one questions were asked her which would not be asked a stray man, and a poor woman had as much right to resent catechism as the most respectable lady in the land. (Applause.) A District Council ought to provide accommodation for women, and she strongly urged upon Aberdare to move in this direction. They often heard from men "that women were difficult to manage." Women did not want managing. Let District Councils give women proper accommodation and women would man- age themselves. (Laughter and ap- plause.) Proceeding, Miss Ashton de- scribed the Manchester Municipal Lodg- ing House for Women. She regretted that they were not able to take in the lowest of the low, because decent woman could not be expected to mix up with, prostitutes. It might be asked, how did they manage to keep them out? On the first night that application was made they were allowed in, but it was not difficult to find out in the course of a day or two whether they were going straight or not. Turning to the ques- tion of municipal lodging houses for men the lecturer said there were very few men who could not earn a living wage, consequently there was not the same need for communal lodging houses for men as fcr women. In Manchester they had a men's lodging house to ac- commodate 500. Personally she had never favoured communal lodging houses for men, because there were al- ways plenty of common lodging houses foi them. Questions and Viscussions. -Mr. J. Griffiths (Brynhyfryd) asked what were lodging houses likely to cost? — Miss Ashton replied that in one town there was a house lor 20 women. The cost was £ 105 per annum, and the receipts was JE105 per annum, and the receipts kilo. In Glasgow such houses paid the Corporation from 2 per cent, to 4 per cent.—Councillor E. Stonelake said he appreciated the lecture very much, but he was disappointed that Miss Ashton had criticised the need of men's lodging houses. In Aberdare they had all the lodging houses in one quarter of the town with the result that that particu- lar neighbourhood was demoralised. They could not go on in Aberdare with- out changing all that. and the munici- pality should do something for the men who had to seek shelter in those places. —Miss Ashton, replying to Mr Stone- y I lake, said that the Council should see who they issued licences to. In many places lodging houses were ill-conduct- ed, and the Council had the remedy in their own hands, and could re- fuse a licence to keepers of lodging-houses unless they were respectable married couples. If the Council did not care to do that then they must erect municipal lodging houses for men. hut she did not advo- cate municipal lodging houses for men until all other schemes had failed.-Ile- plying to a question by the Rev. E. T. Evans, Miss Ashton said that the main cause of prostitution was the inadequate wages paid to women. Women could not get men to fix a minimum wage for women. That was at the bottom of the movement of votes for women. Miss Jennie Griffiths asked the speaker whether she thought that her work was hindered by not having a vote.—Miss Ashton replied in the affirmative, and asked what sense was there in putting men to draw up Education Acts that they knew nothing about. For in- stance, sex hygiene should be on the school's curriculum. That would do an enormous amount of good to the future morality of the nation. — Miss Lena Jones, B.A., remarked that a teacher had ventured on one occasion to intro- duce that subject, and there had been a great hue and cry in consequence. Mr L. N. Williams, J.P., observed that they better get back to the subject or there might he an uproar. (Laughter.) He had listened with intense interest to Miss Ashton's illuminating address. The question bristled with difficulties, but they were not insurmountable. They had lodging houses in Aberdare, but they had heard of disgraceful things going on there. No doubt the need of places for women was greater than for men, for the reasons stated by the lec- turer. He had felt for some time that something of the kind was needed in Aberdare, and the sooner the Council took it up the l,etter.-Diseu ssiori was earned on by Mrs. D. M. Richards, who spoke of her experience as a Guardian. Mr Sam Williams, and Mrs. J. A. Wil- liams.—Councillor D. R. Llewelyn, in moving a vote of thanks to the speaker, said the casual labourers in Aberdare, who worked for their 6d. an hour, de- served something better than the ac- commodation they obtained in the pres- ent lodging houses. They ought to have lodging houses on the Rowton House system. In Aberdare it was men and not women they had to deal with chiefly.—Miss Gwladys Evans seconded, and suggested that local information he gathered on the subject, so that the Council might have some data to go by. —The motion was carried with acclam- ation, and on the motion of Mr John Davies, attendance officer, the chair- man was heartily thanked for presiding.
Letters to the Editor.
Letters to the Editor. SUNDAY SHOPS. Sir,—Are there any magistrates in Aberdare, or are they all asleep? Why do they allow shops to open on Sunday ? You say there is a fine. But what is a few shillings? It is nothing. The guilty ones are foreigners, too. But, tell me, does the tobacco licence cover seven days? Is it a seven day licence? If I lived in Aberdare I think I'd wake some of the sleepers.—I am, COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER. ABERCWMBOI WORKMEN'S PRO- TEST. Dear Sirs,—Will you grant me a small space to protest against the ac- tion of Nixon's Public Hall Committee, Mountain Ash, in ignoring the plea of the Abercwmboi residents, and also in not carrying out the resolution passed at the annual meeting held on Monday, April 6th last. At the annual meeting there was an item on the agenda, viz., To consider granting a donation to Abercwmboi Library. After the posi- tion of things had been explained to the meeting by myself and others, Mr. Peter Close, Mountain Ash, moved that half the poundage paid by the Aber- cwmboi workmen towards this hall should be given towards the Abercwm- boi Library. This was seconded. Others asked why not give them the full poundage, that they had a moral right to it. However, an amendment was moved by Mr. John Hamer, Mountain Ash, that the matter be left to the committee in conjunction with a com- mittee from Abercwmboi, to thrash the matter out and try to come to a mutual agreement. When the amendment was put to a vote the Abercwmboi work- men present, together with a good number of our friends and supporters from Mountain Ash, voted in favour of it, as we v-ere of opinion that the com- mittee could discuss the matter better than a general meeting. The amend- ment was declared carried. I asked Mr. W. L. Smith, the secretary of the Mountain Ash Hall, when should we come down? He said that we could come down any time, only let him know when. This was done by Mr. Philip Rees, our secretary, and on Thursday last a deputation, consisting of Messrs. Sam Davies, John L. Lewis, and myself, went down to meet the committee, and were there just before 6 p.m. We met some committee men, and informed them of our business. The day was wet, and we had to wait in the corridor of the hail in our damp clothes till 7.45, when a committee man came out saying that the committee would not see the deputation. We were informed further that they had decided on an annual grant. They had decided not to tell us the amount, but would send it in writing to our secre- tary. I asked what about the resolu- tion at the annual meeting, and was told that the minute was read at the committee, and that it was to the effect that the matter sh6uld be discussed by the committee. I will not say that the minute has been tampered with, but I shall be prepared to challenge the min- ute at the next annual meeting. We told the committee that we were not satisfied, and that we thought their action was an insult to us, and their refusal to give us their decision aug- mented the insult. However, on Friday a cheque for X12 was sent to our secre- tary! The committee ought to be ashamed of themselves if they reckon this a fair proportion for our hall. I have in my possession the statement of accounts of the Mountain Ash Work- men's Institute for 1913. in which I find that £ 1,978 2s 8d had been received in poundage through the offices. There- fore, according to the number of work- men from Abercwmboi employed in and about Nixon's Collieries, .£62 10s were paid by the Abercwmboi workmen, who number about 150, and we. as already stated, have received the grand sum of £ 12, when £ 83 7s. lOd. was spent on the Cwmcynon Institute and £ 27 6s. Id. on the Newtown Reading Room, both of which are within a stone's throw of the mother institute. I do not begrudge this to the Cwmcvnon and Newtown workman. They are entitled to it. What I ask is for the same treatment towards the Abercwmboi workmen, and ask the committee to try in future to carry out the mandate given them by a general meeting. Also remember that it is the general meeting that is to rule the committee and not the committee to rule the general meeting.—I am, yours truly, W. R. GRIFFITHS. 38 Bronallt Terrace, Abercwmboi. We beg to confirm the above. SAM DAVIES. J. L. LEWIS.
