HUGE ELECTRIC LIGHTING MONOPOLY. BARRY TO BE SERVED WITH A NEW LIGHT. WHAT WILL THE DISTRICT COUNCIL DO? Statutory notice has now been given and the names of the promoters revealed of the huge electric power supplying company which is to cover the whole of South Wales in its scope. We find the promoters named include some directors of the Barry Company, amongst others Mr Robert Forrest, in addition to a number of shipowners and those interested in collieries. The gigantic concern which they have in contemplation will create, we have no doubt, considerable opposi- tion from gas-supplying companies in various towns where they offer to supply electric light, and also in towns like Barry, where the gas works have been purchased at a considerable cost by the Urban District Councils, or the local public bodies. Already it is observed that the Rhondda District Council have taken actien towards promoting a spirited opposition to the scheme which will affect them, seeing that they recently acquired the Ystrad Gas undertaking. So near Cardiff and, consequently, at a distance at which the supply of electric light will be managed at no great outlay, Barry will doubtless secure favourable rates from the new company for any installations secured here. There is another side to the question, however, especially seeing that the gas and water under- taking has already cost the town in round figures S250,000, while the projected expendi- ture during the coming two years will mean £ 50,000. This great outlay has, up to the pre- sent time, secured to the town nothing like the profits anticipated when the purchase propcsals were flaunted before the public. The promise ot opposition of such magnitude manifested by the present new scheme of electric lighting can- not, if it succeeds, assist the town to redeem much of its largely spent money. It behoves the District Council, therefore, or at least its Parliamentary Committee, to be on the qui vive. Delay may mean much, and, inasmuch as the Rbondda Council is already making effective headway, Barry should surely take the matter in hand nt once. Our interests should be pro- tected, especially when they have been threatened by competition from a huge private company.

SULLY SMELTING WORKS. RIDICULOUS MISLEADING OF THE PUBLIC. CREATION OF FALSE HOPES. PROGRESS OF THE UNDERTAKING. THE PROSPECT OF THE FLAT MOORS DISTRICT. REAL TRUTH OF THE MATTER. The sailing ship Cressington, of Liverpool, has arrived at Barry with a cargo of lead ore for the new smelting works, now in course of construction at Sully. Recently our repre- sentative traversed that exposed district in order to learn all that coald be learnt on the subject, which was at all likely to interest the public. Sully at present is mostly arable land, but there is not the slightest doubt that in the course of a few years the pick of the navvy will have delved deep into the virgin soil, and laid the foundations of a commercial prosperity beyond the dreams of anything in the agricultural line. The land the Armstrong Syndicate has selected for their purposes lies to the south of the Cadoxton River, and will, in the course of time, be most CONVENIENTLY SITUATED near the docks. Of course, there are no docks there just yet, and the Company are fighting under all the disadvantages of pioneership. They are at present unloading 3,000 tons of lead ore, which has arrived from Australia in one of Messrs Leyland's ships, and this opera- tion gives one an ideti of the difficulties to be surmounted. A railway track runs from the naw dock to the smelting work, but tht Cadoxton River intervenes between the railway and the works. A proper stone bridge is being erected so that the line may be taken over, and the ore discharged straight on the spot. The bridge is net ready yet, and a temporary structure has been .ut up, and miniature rail- way trucks convey the ore over the river to the sheds, which are made of corrugated iron. Had the bridge been completed, the Syndicate would probably have been some hundreds of pounds richer, the cost of the labour necessary to transport the cargo being great. The works were STARTED A YEAR AGO, and most erratic, unfounded, and utterly ridiculous statements then appeared in one lection of the Cardiff and Barry Press on tbt- number < f men to be employed. This was stated at 3,000, whereas, when in the most busy season, the mumber of men employed will I not exceed roughly 100. The work does not require a great number of men. Shortly after the work of building was commenced, difftr- e-oct-s at headquarters caused a stoppage, and the work was resumed a few weeks ago. Nothing i" nearly ready as yet. It is expected that things will not be in clock-work order for fully twelve months, though the heads of the venture hope to begin six months hence. The storage- house, which is of corrugated iron. is all that may be aaid to be finished. The works them selves, it may be truthfully aaid, are HARDLY STARTED. Four amoke stacks are to be built, which it is not likely will be commenced before the setting in of dryer weather, although the concrete baaeaient is laid. Commercial man generally are waiting for the issue, and this venture on the part of the Armstrong Syndicate, and its success—few will be doubtful of i^s ultimate ouecess-is sure to lead to the establishment of other industries. The number of men now employed on day and night work is about 60, and the unfounded statements above alluded to caused many men to seek work when there was none to be bad. Shortly, we believe the Moors district will be absorbed by the Barry District Council, and though this is unwelcome news to some, it will be to the great benefit of the whole district, and what is, by reason of its flatness, the must suitable quarter for comluerClal euter- prise.

THE WAR. GLAMORGAN SQUADRuN YEOMANRY VOLUNTEERS. Major W>ndham-Quin's Intentions. APPLICATIONS FLOCKING IN. REQUIREMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS QUESTION OF OFFICERS. The following interesting interview between Major Wyndham-Quin, M,P., and the "Major" of the South Wales Daily News is taken from Monday's issue of that paper, and re-produced for the benefit of those of our readers who have not yet read it: Major Wyndham-Quin, M.P., who has recently been staying in London, returned to South Wales on Saturday for the expreSH purpose of devoting the whole of bis energies during the next two or three weeks to the selection of the finest squadron of cavalry that Glamorganshire can furnish at the present time. The hon. and gallant major arrived at Tetbury on Friday, and on Saturday morning went on to Gloucester, where he spent some time at the barracks in company with Colonel Henry, Major Calvert, Major Matthews, and other officers of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars at the barracks. There I had the good luck to meet with the hon. member for South Glamor- gan, who greeted me in his customary genial way. I have received but the vaguest possible instructions," said Major Wyndham-Quin in reply to questions put to him, and as you will see, I have invited applications from those anxious to join to be sent to me at Dunraven Castle, where I shall stay for the next week or two. I shall then be near Bridgend, which is the natural centre of the county." "May I ask what your instructions from the War Office are, major?" "They have simply asked me to raise a troop or squadron in the county of Glamorgan. They have left it to me to take the best means possible, for they are aware that I know what is required." What about the number ?" I am to raise 115 rank and file; then there will be the non-coms, and four commissioned officers. About the requirements ?" "The men must ride and shoot well, and must be able to look after a horse. What I want are active men, who can mouut and dis- mount quickly." And the officers, Major ?" In the selection of officers I shall, of course, be unable to get Regular cavalry officers, so I shall do the next best thing and select gentle- men who have only recently retired from the Army-and the more recently retired they are the better. I want to get officers who have only just left the Army if possible." How will you be guided in your selection of rank and file ?" Well, I shall, as far a8 possible, make per- sonal /inquiries regarding each applicant. I know that it will be a lot of work for me to get through, but I feel that the responsibility laid upon me is an important one, and that my duty demands that I shall attend to the raising of the troop personally. That is to say, supposing a man applies and gives as references his em. ployers, I shall make it my business, as far as possible, to see those employers, and also people living near who are likely to be able to speak best of his qualifications. I shall, in maki- g selections, pay special attention to character, which I regard as a very important point." What clasm, generally speaking, do you hope to draw from ?" I shall look principally to the class from which at present the Yeomanry are drawn, that is to say, from the smart farmer type. Besides this, I shall look to the well-to-do Volunteer who can ride and ahoot Men of this class will be, to my mind, much better able to meet the requirements." Do you feel pretty confident that Glamor- gan can provide the necessary material, Mnjor ?" I have no doubt about it. I have already had a large number of applications, so I think that I shall have a goodly number from whom to make a selection. I should like to acknow- ledge the great assistance in the matter of funds which the proposal has already received from noblemen and gentlemen in the county of Glamorgan. The fund has gone forward well." In what time do you expect to got your troop together, Major ?" Well, my instructions are to get them together as soon as I can, but I am not going to hurry unduly. In saying this I mean that I don't intend to rush the selection and to take just anyone who presents himself. I shall strenuously endeavour to get the best talent in the county, and at the same time I shall try to get it together as speedily as possible. I hope to have it formed inside of three weeks." And you intend to go with it yourself Major?" "Oh, yes," replied Major Wyndham-Quin, with a amile, I intend to go right away to South Africa, and to leave South Glamorgan for the present to the tender mercies of Alder- man Morgan."

SMALL-POX AT BARRY. FOUR CASES IN THREE WEEKS. Four cases of small-pox, in which local female residents are stricken, have been removed within the past three weeks to the Isolation Hospital at Colcot. The outbreak of the disease is at present a mystery, medical opinion being at variance on the point, while the spread of the disease to at least one of the patients is an equal poser. Mr and Mrs Rees at the hospital have the patients in hand, and under their careful treatment are progressing satisfactorily. In- spector Summerfield's duties have also been multiplied in consequence of the outbreak, but he has been painstaking aud diligent in his efforts to afford the cases the quickest and best isolation and to promptly disinfect the premises in which the cases occurred.

TABERNACLE CHAPEL, BARRY DOCK SUNDAY SCHOOL QUARTERLY MEETING. The quarterly meeting of the above Sunday School, of which Mr Jacob John, Court-road, is the superintendent, was held at Tabernacle Chapel on Sunday afternoon last. The pastor (Rev Ben r vans) presided over the proceedings in a very appropriate n anner, and the song- and recitations were characterised in a mark- d -iogree by lucidity and depth of feeling. Miss Morgan, Newland-street, presided at the piano. The conductor of the juvenile choir (Mr Evans, of Barry) being unavoidably absent, Mr B. Perkins wielded the baton, and the children, considering the adverse circumstances under which they laboured, went through their task admirably. The afternoon's work consisted of: —Recitations: Masters Johnnie Harris and J. P. Johnson, Misses Myfanwy Leyshon, Anita Evans, and Ceritb Evans, Master Idris Evans, Miss Annie Thomas, and Mr John Evans. Songs: Miss Rees, Oban-street; Miss Buaaell who gave an exceptionally acceptable rendering of Angels ever bright and fair" and Miss Bessie Rees, Court-road. In the evening, at six, the usual service was dispensed with, and the following very interest- ing programme was substituted Recitation, Miss Maggie Harris; song, "Vision of the cross," Bradsworth B. Griffiths; recitation, Miss M. Rees; song, Miss Bussell; cornet solo, "Ihe lost chord," Mr A. Palmer; song, There is a green hill far away," Miss E. Rees; recitation, Miss M. A. Harris The children's home," Mr J. Pritchard; song, Miss Bessio Rees violin solo, Master Idris Evans; "Return unto thy rest," Mr G. Griffiths; recitation, Mr W. Morgan; solo, "Galilee," Miss C. Havard; clarionette solo, Mr J. Thorne; "Ble'r aeth yr 'Amen'?" Miss Williams; recitation, Miss A. Thomas; quar- tett, "Blodeuyn bach wyf fi mewn gardd," party. Miss S. P. Thomas, Kingsland-cresconfc, accompanied on the pianoforte. The last item on the programme was "Cwrdd Athrawon" (or teachers' meeting), a dialogue on the moat effective method of improving the Sunday School, which contained several useful sug- gestions, and was as interesting as it was varied.

BURGLARY NEAR DIN AS POWIS. A MANSION LARDER RANSACKED. MISSING CHRISTMAS FARE. A few days prior to Xmas the larder of Courtyrala House, near Dinas Powis, was entered during the night, and a quantity of game, legs of mutton, three rounds of beef, and two very heavy hams were removed. The theft was discovered shortly afterwards, and informa- tion given to the police. It is stated that the noise of a trap was hard near the place Hot an unusually late hour by some of those connected with the Courtyrala Estate. Doubtless, the burglar, who successfully got away with his booty, knew of the fact that a few nights after- wards a bug- banquet would be held at the place, at wliicb the tenantry are amply enter- tained through the kindness of Miss Hous. The police, after being apprised of the occurrence, made every effort to track the burglar, but up to the present all their efforts have failed. -n_-

A TRANSPORT VESSEL AT BARRY. Messrs Elder Dempster's liners Lake Erie and Monteagle, and also the steamer well known at Barry, Montezuma, have been chartered by the Government for transpcrt purposes. These liners are well known locally, and the last-named vessel is at the present time receiving sundry repairs in the Commercial Dry Dock at the hands of Messrs John Shearman and Co. before taking bunker coal and proceeding on a vogage to Halifax. From the Canadian port she will convey probably 800 men and 600 horses to South Africa.

PENARTH DISTRICT COUNCIL. At Monday's meeting of the above Council it was decided that the Elementary schools should remain closed until the 22ud instant, in orier to « ffectualJy stamp out all epidemics. The Medic*l Officer reported that there was at present no case of diphtheria outside the isolation hospital. Mr D. Thomas complained that the report of the cout.fcy medical officer had appeared in the Cardiff papers before reaching that Council, and also said the pipers had exaggerated the number of cases of diphtheria. Respecting the question of an isolation hospital, public slaughter-house, and refuse destructor, stated in the report to have been recommended for years as the chief requirements of the district, the Chairman said blame for delay in providing the hospital lay with the Local Govern- ment Boaid, whilst the other two matters were referred to a committee to report upon.

LIFE-BOAT SERVICES IN 1899. The year 1899, like ita predecessor, waa an unusually fine one, months passing without any bad weather from a life-boat point of view. The few gales and storms, however, which occurred at in. tervals provided the life-boats and their crews with a considerable amoust of work. What may be considered as the heaviest gales of the year occurred on the 12th January, the 30th September and let October, and the Itit to 3rd November. During the first of these gales 11 of the Institution's boats were launched on service, resulting in the eaving of 30 lives and 3 vessels, in addition to which three persoas were landed from distressed vessels and several fishing-boats were assisted. Whilst the September gsle was raging, IS life-bosta were launched, and saved 33 JiVtB, beaides which valu- able assistance was rendered to 3 vessels and to fishing-boats. Some of the life-boatmen reported that during these two gales the wind and sea were the heaviest they had ever experienced. During the third ga!e there were 16 launohes and two assembles of crews, 48 persotiii being saved and 9 landtd from perilous positions. The year's work resulud in the rescue of 494 lives, besides much valuable property, 20 vessels having been saved from total or partial loss. In addition, the life-boats laDdd 63 persons, some of whom had taken refuge on light vessels and others coming athore an a precautionary measure, their vessels being in danger in atormy weather. Great assist- ance was also given in very many cases to flahine boats returning from the fleets or fishing grounds, but unable to make a harbour without htlp from a' life-boat, owing to the baldness of the weather. During the year the life-boats were launched 333 times 00 service, besides which the crews were assembled on 67 other occasiooa, when it was thought that their services might probably be required. Rewards were also granted by the Iustitution for the saving of 108 Jive. by sbore- boftta or other means during the year, bringing up the total number of liv(-o for the saving of which the Society gianted rewards in 1899 to 602, and to 41,835 since 1824. The cost of maintainilg the Institution's floi-t of 290 life-boats m thorough efficieticy is ino easingly heavy, and the amount received in aunual subscriptions and accruing fr^m assured income is inJUfficieut for the purpose. Fuither financial help rt* therefore mnch needed by the Institution. Annual subscriptions and dona- te ns will be gladly r.cei vert by the secretary, Mr Charlc-VDibdin, 14, J< hn-street, Adalphi, L odon, by any of the branch honorary secretaries, and by all the Bankers in the United Kingdom.

BlRKY DOCK POLICE FRIDAY. Before Alderman J. C. MEGGITT and Councillor i J. H. JOSE. EXEMPTION ORDIR. George Morgan aprlied for, and was granted, a certificate exonerating him from the necessity of having his child, David J. Morgan, vaccinated wacordii.g to law. Applicant satuiied the Bench that he had a conscientious objection. EXTENSION or TIME. An hoar's extension was grauttd for January 8th, 1900, to George H..bbtl, man ger of the Windsor Hotel, Holton-road, Barry Dock. On the evening of the 8th inst the Rivettern' and Holders-up Society partko of their aunual dinner. ORDERED TO PAY. E. Williams, labourer, was ordered to pay forth- with jE3 18s, being arrears due on an order of the. C"urt tor the support of his boy in an industrial school, at the rate of Is 6d a week. DISTURBING THE PEACE. Wm Sherlow and Fred Hobbs were each bound over in tho sum of £ 5 to keep the peace for six months, and pay the costs in each ease. The reason of this was that the men were fighting ou the waste ground opposite the Windsor Hotel, Barry Doek, on Saturday night last, the result of a very heated and ingenious discussion on Boer tactics. Police-sergeant Gill proved the case. NOT ABOUT THE WAR. Thomas Morgan and Charles James were each fined 6s for driving without lights after tho sotting of the sun oa the 16th alt. THE WAR AGAIN. Patrick Daly, aged 38, a labourer, abiding in Richard-stieet, Barry Dook, though somewhat bandaged, was able to tell the magistrates the story of how he came oat seeemd best in the war. The story runs thus :-On the night of the 27th ult Patrick ard a friend named Alfred Taylor, a donkeyman, aged 43, living in Sydenham-street, Barry Dock, were engaged in a discussion on the war beyond the equator. Patrick manfully ad- mitted that he gave the prisoner in the dock (Alf Taylor) some provocation. At all events, prisoner waxed enthusiastic, like many another man, and receiving a tap on the face from prosecutor, who had been merely teasing him, he (prisoner) gave him a most sure blew on the face with a piat glass, which was broken by the contact. The men were about drunk at the time, as was a man named Lyons, of Beryl-read, Barry Dock, who gave evi- dence of what took place.—Dr David Edwards said there were six ineised wounds upon the left side of the face which he stitched, and numerous minor abrasions.—For the defence, Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd argued that there had been a great deal of provocation, and that any mortal iu his right aenaes would have argued with his client. In the heat of the moment lie had struok prosecutor, forgetting that he held the glass. The charge was reduced from unlawful wounding to common assault, and defendant was lined 20s. A TAILOR IN THE WARS. A charge of unlawful wounding was also pre- ferred against Mary Crossman, 16, Richard-street, Barry Dock, the prosecutor being William Devlin, a tailor, lodging ia the same house. Devlin's story was that he arrived home in proper time last Wednesday evening, and had just got iaside the house when he heard prisoner rowing" and storming in her apartments. He went up to pacify her spirit, but she did not take the overture kindly, and instead took up a glass article and struck him on the forehead. She afterwards made a flank attack with the poker, aad prosecutor was ultimately compelled to evacuate her territory. Prisoner's eye was very much discoloured.-Dr C. W. Williams said the injuries inflicted by the woman were not dangerous, and prisoner was fined lOa, or a. week for common assault. ANOTHER ORDER. William Protheio, labourer, was ordered to pay Is 6d a week towards the support of his boy ia an industrial school. TWO FIRES. John King and William Edwards were each fined Is Od for allowing their chimneys to smoke effusively. EFFECTUAL RESTRAINT. Not in any age has the wisdom and foresight of man been so conspicuous, and the very acme of intelligence was it which prompted the famous Beard of Agriculture to put an eflectual restraint on the eating capacities of our dogs, of which we are so jastly proud. Since the Muzzling Order came into force not a single case of rabies has been notified to the police, and if anything was wanted to prove the wonderful eff-ctuality of this Order it is this fact. Some scheming, sarcastic cynio: may say—•' But there was no case of rabiel in this district before the Order was introduced. Let him say it; the Board of Agrculture, conscioull of it- heaven-bora gifts in the way of brains, smiles 10 a condescending way, and goes to aleep on its ever- increasing bundle of red tap.. The following martyrs were fined 58 for allowing their dogs to stray on the highaay i-properly attired :-]Evan Davies, Charles Rogers, Mrs Mitchell, Fred <^rant, 5s, aad Alf Beokman, a marine eugineor, 169. < CHRISTMAS CHEER. There was a ease the other day in the Cardiff Police-court of a man actually quoting St Paul on the benefit of wine in moderation, who had con- fessed to 15 pints. Now this is wrong. If the Muzzling Order is to be enforced, why not on wretched beings such as these. The number of drunks and otker disgustiag people on the calendar on Friday was not large, and they were disposed of rapidly. A warrant was issued for the appearance of Sarah Williams, charged with using obscene language. Warrants wvre also issued agaiust James Dvilve and John Guthrie, ..nd the followi.g wfre fined for drunk and disorderly conduct—Edward J yn, Henry Bullock, George and Nicholas Bichard, Henry Burgees, Alllel t Morgan, Edwin Jacob-, and Daniel O'Conner, 611 Thomas Coggrove, Margaret Hearson, Richard John, John Davi -s, John Smith, John Jones, and Wm Brampton, 7a 6-f. Margaret Lougher was 8ei.t»nc.-d to seven days' imprisonment on the same charge. BAD COMPANY." Mary Ann Jones, a prostitute, of no regular abode, having be n remanded tuice, was now sea- tenceil to one day's imprisonment fr stt-aling £ 1 in gold from the perit-in of Wir. Robertsou, cOllI, trimmer, 54, George-street,' Barry Dock, on the 16th ult, at the Royal Hotel, Cadoxton.

BARRY PUBLIC LIBRARY, The monthly meeting of the Barry Public Libraries Committee was held on Friday even- ing last at the Gas and Water Offices, Barry Docks, the metnbera present being Mr D. W. Roberts (Chairman), Councillors W. Paterson, D. Morgan, Evan Jonees, and Mr J. O. Davies. The Secretary (Mr J. Roch) reported that for two succesaive months a number of publica- tions placed on the reading-room table had been grossly damaged and dirtied, and also indecently marked. This latter applied especi- ally to the Art Journal," while the Strand Magazine," Scribner's," and Chums were much damaged. Notices had been posted up warning offenders of the penalty they incurred, and there had been no repetition of the offences. —The Chairman hoped that the general public would do all they could to prevent such doings in the future, and promptly communicate with the Librarian if they noticed anyone defacing the magazines, &c., so that an example may be made. THE MONTHLY EXPORT. The monthly report and classification of books lent showed that during the month 3,063 books had been iaaued, and of these there were belonging to religion and philosophy, 47; bio- graphy, 69; history, 72; topography and travel, 64 law and commerce, 19 science and art, 107 poetry and the drama, 32 general litera- ture, 119; fiction, 2,355; magazines, 179. The weekly average was 712. The proportion of fiction on the whole issue was 76 per cent. The number of tickets issued up to date are 2,893.- It was decided that the Chairman should see the Chairman of the Council (Mr J. H. Jose, J.P.), with reference to securing the house next the library and reading-room for extension purposes.

BARRY TRADES & LABOUR COUNCIL THE COUNCIL AND THE AMALGAMATED LABOURERS' UNION. The President (Mr J. Rees) occupied the chair at the foitnightly meeting held at the Glamorgan Restaurant, Thompson street, Barry Dock, on Thun-day eveDii'g in last week, of the Barry Trades' and Labour Council. AN ABORTIVE PROPOSAL. The question as to whether the Council should recognise the senicps of Mr J. Ward, the secretary to the Navvies' Union, as a public man while in the Barry district, having been deferred from the last meeting, was now dropped, lacking support. THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE AWALGAMATID LABOURERS. Correspondence was read from the tlcretary to the Amalgamated Labourers' Union with reference to the difference between that society and the Council, which culminated in the society withdrawing their delegate. A discus- sion ensued, and the general opinion was expressed that the Council was wrong. The following resolution was proposed by Mr G. Saunders That this Council regrets that it was misled by the evidence produced in the case of the difference between the Council and the National Amalgamated Labourers' Union, and is now of opinion the action taken by the officials of that Union was in the best interests of their mem- bers." M. Fred Wall seconded this. Mr Tom Evans moved an amendment, to the effect that the Council write Mr Harry Wil- liams, the secretary of the Amalgamated Labourers Union, inviting him to attend a Council meeting and explain the whole case. Mr J. Roberts seconded the amendment. lUr F. Wans asked what was to be gained by having Mr Williams before the Council. H™h £ UgThtnJ U\Wi8f to re-°P«n ^e question. Mr T. J. Chamberlain supported. Mr T. Evans said he was not prepared to vote on the resolution until he had had a fuller explanation from Mr Williams. Mr Evans withdrew his amendment, and the resolution was then put and carried. THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' HALL. It was decided to invite a deputation from the Friendly Societies' Council to lay their plans and suggestions before the Council at the next meeting. LABOUR MEMBERS' REPORT. The labour member on the School Board (Mr J. Rees) reported as to the work done by the Board during the past term, aad regretted that the attendance at the Evening Schools, for the maintenance of which a large amount of the ratepayers' money was expended, waa so much under what it ought to be.

IMPORT TRADE OF BARRY. FIRST CARGO FOR THE SMELFLNG WORKS. The import trade of Barry is showing aif ns of a rapid development during the new year. Already a first cargo of frozen meat has arrived for the Cardiff Ice and Storage Company, and another of Australian ore for the new smelting works on Cadoxton Moors has just arrived. The 1,200 ft. of brick building, also running parallel with the dock on the southern side, will also doubtless induce many trades to Use Barry for import purposes, especially 88 free storage i8 offered over a certain period of time. =-
