LLAflTRISANT SCHOOL BOARD.
LLAflTRISANT SCHOOL BOARD. To the Editor of die "Free Press." Sir,- I feel confident that you will kindly grant me a space in your valuable paner to reply to and correct the misleading statements of Mr D. Richards. I shall endeavour to adopt such a asympathetie and conciliatory attitude towards Mr Richards as I possibly can. knowing as I do that Mr Richards himself is not so much to be blamed in this matter. He commences his letter by referring in a personal manner to myself, which at once admits a very serious element of weakness in his criticism, and proves that what he is over anxieus of doing is to in- flict a blow at me personally and not at the policy I have pursued- since I have been elected upon the Llantrisant School Board. But then, as one author has truly said: —"There is no ignorance as being ignorant of our ignorance." He states that he takes the opportunity of mak- ing some things public because-Dan Thomas and his friends are saying that he has saved a lot in rates (what a benefactor for the Llantri- sant Parish). So far as my knowledge goes, neither myself nor any of my friends have done anything of the kind. What I have contended, and am prepared to prove, is that the nresent beard does not make the historic rate of 3d in the £ as a catch-vote policy. I have never ar- gued that the rates of the present board have been lower than under any preeeeding board! But inasmuch as Mr Richards has opened the quostien of comparing the rates of this board with the preceeding one, let us examine the correctness or otherwise of his figures. Mr Richards states in a general manner that the present board have made two rates of over one shilling. One would expect a severe critic like Mr Richards to be a little more explicit, and to state the exact amount they have been over the shilling. Perhaps Mr Richards will allow me to furnish them in his place: Year 1895 rate 2s Old; 1896, Is 8^1; 1897, lOd; total for per- 4 iod, 4s 6Jd. He also states that the preceding Board made a Wfte of 5d, one of 5d, two rf 7!d, and two of 6d; total, as per Mr D. Rich- ards, 3s Id, which. I ami sorry to find, is far from being correct. The exact amount of the rates of the previous Board was: Year 1892, Hid 1893, Is 2d; 1894, Is 6d or total during their term of office, 3s 8d, a difference of 7d be- tween this and the figures given by Mr Rich- ards. But then, perhaps, in his estimation a 7 1 rate does not count for much. I am giving these figures are corrections, and without any de- sire to draw comparisons, as .we have not as yet draw any comparisons with any preceding Board whatever. Mr Richard asserts (I lay great em-1 phasis upon this word, Mr Editor) in a most, positive manner that the 3d. rate will land the ilekt Board in debt, and He advances as his only reason for making the assertion that he well remebered that the Clerk of the Board asked them to make their last call for £ 1,000, instead of £ &00, the amended form that was carried. I woukl have much preferred if Mr Richards had been so discreet as not to introduce the Olerk's, or any other name, in his criticism of my lettes. put being that he has not avoided that, we must give a plain statement of the facts. Let us examine this phase of the ques- tion. Tl..e clerk's first original call as made by him was £ 2,00a, but the amount agreed after amendment was £ 1,600,a difference of £ 400; the orgiginal amount of the second call as drawn by him was £"3,000, but the amount agreed again unon an amended motion was £ 2.000. a differ- ence of £ 1,000; amount of ordinal call the third time was L,2,000, amount agreed was £1.500, a difference of £ 500; also. the fourth term was exactly the same, which also meant a difference fc- OO: for the fifth term the amount original- ly drawn out by the Clerk was £1,500, but on amendment was placed at £1,000, another differ- ence of 2500. And now we come to the sixth term, upon which Mr Richards places so much reliance upon the Clerk's opinion. The original call as made out by the Clerk was £ 1.000, but the amount whibh was agreed upon after dis- cussion and division was JB500. Had we fol- lowed the Qerk's original statement as drawn out by him we would have been guilty of draw- ing upon the rates to the extent of £ 3,900,which would be unnecessary to meet the current ex- penses of each term during the three years period which is just coming to an end. So much for the real value of Mr Richards' authori- ty regarding the estimates, and so much as to the importance of his condemnation for not accepting those estimates in their original form But no doubt the 3d rate is a sore point to Mr Richards, and when it is known it is so to such an extent, no wonder that so many futile attempts are being made to explain it away. Here's another proof that the historic rate will not land the best Board in debt. On Septem- ber 25th, 1897, there was to the credit of the Board, a balance at the Bank of zP,1,428 18s 9d. and without taking into consideration the amount to be derived as fee grant, and the Im- perial contribution to make up the deficiency under the Agricultural Rating Act—without taking the above credit at, all. the balance re- ferred to, with the E500 call, would make the total of £1,928 18s 9d, whereas the salaries, maintenance, and administrative expenditure for the six months ending March, 1897-exactly a corresponding period as regards grants, etc.— was £1.608 8s 8d, which would leave a balance of 9320 10s Id. which would be sufficient to pav the principal and interest on the loans, without taking into consideration the various items I ha.ve named. I afyain repeat in the most emphatic manner that the circumstances clearly permit and justify the present Board in making the historic rate of 3d in the JE, and had they have decided to make more, they would be guilty of demanding from the rate- payers unnecessary money for no other pur- pose than to remain idle at the bank. As I find, Mr Editor, it will be impossible for me to Of mplete in one letter my reply, I shall only deal with one other point, viz. his statement as to the amount of the overdraft when this Board took office. Mr Richards disputed the accuracy of the figures given by myself at a public meet- ing at Tonyrefail. and would insist that the over- draft was not P,1,868, as I stated, but £1,797 odd, and further he adduoed as a proof of his correctness that he and his friend had been down examining the books. Now, Mr Editor, in one esnse it is a great pity that Mr Richards has made that admission, because we must come to the only conclusion that their examination of the books was not very genuine er they would have certainly brought back a correct statement which, I am glad to say, I managed to give, notwithstanding that I depended entirely on my memory, and not tli- examination of the books. Now that Mr Richards so kindly cor- rected me, I hope that he will ascertain once again the correctness or otherwise of these figures. He will find that the sum which he states, viz., £ 1.797 17s 3d (I am living him now even the ponc-eY is transferred from one fund to another, and by doing so into another bank book. He will also find that there was already an overdraft there of R70 10s 9d. and an issued cheque of 10s 6d. These three items added to- gether, I think, will represent a total of £1.868 18s 6r1. as stated by myself and not the £1,797 stated by Mr Richards. So much for his accu- racy of his fitrures, and the reliability of his examination of the books. I shall say for next. week "to be continued," with your kind prrmis- sion, Mr Editor.—Yours truly, DANIEL THOMAS.
