BARRY DISTRICT COUNCIL. THE HOSPITAL QUESTION. RATEPAYERS' MEETING TO BE HELD. THE COUNCIL'S ESTIMATES. The monthly meeting of the Barry Urbar; District Council was held at the Council Chamber, Gas and Water Offices, Barry Dock, on Monday evening la-t, when there wen t)resent-imr J. H. Jose, J.P. (chairman), Mr W. Paterson, Mr E. B. Smith-Jones, Mr J. A. Manaton, Mr S. Burnett, Mr D. Morgan, ivlr A. T. White, Mr Evan Jones, and Mr J. Thomas. THE BRAKE QUESTION. Mr S. Barnett, when the minutes of the Licensing Committee came up f;lr approval, ".ked if the brake conductors had licenses, and if they had badges, but The Chairman replied that no conductor bad been licensed this year, nor bad tht-y badges. Mr Barnett maintained that they hau been licensed in previous years. The Chairman Brake conductors have never been licensed. TESTING CEMENT. Mr Smith-Jones, calling attention to the resolution of the Gas and Water Committee that a plant be obtained for the tetiDg of cement at an estimated cost of 1:25, asked for an explanation, and Mr Paterson, one of the committee, said that there were so many kinds of cement made that they bad resolved on having the plant in order that they may test the quality of the cement bought. Mr Smith-Jones was of opinion that it wa- but a waste of time to tamper with a cement testing machine. It would also be a waste of money, and he suggested that the resolution b. rescinded. The Chairman: The best way of testing cement is to try it. Mr Smith-Jones moved that the matter be reterred back. Mr White seconded. The Water Engineer, in answer to the Chair- man, said the initiation of the movement wax by Mr Evau Jones, and he himself thought it a good idea. There was a large quantity of cement bought from time to time, and they took it just as it came; and for an outlay of about £25 the Council were provided with a machine which would test its quality. Mr Barnett supported the resolution. They pfeid their officials for such puri oses, and he did not think it necessary that S25 should be spent in such a manner. The resolution was then put to the vote and carried. PRIVATE STREET WORKS. The following tenders were announced to have been accepted for the carrying out of private street works in Arthur-street, the tender f.r which amounted to f431 4 4d (Mr J. W. Froom); Trinity-street, £ 165 19s 5d (Messrs Barnes, Chaplin, and (Jo.): Wenvoe-terrace. JE484 168 lOd (Messrs Barnes, Chaplin aod Co.); Porthkerry-road, £1.53 8s 5d (Messrs A. G. Collins and Co.); St. Nicholas-road, S361 lis 6d (Mr George Rutter); Cardiff-road, LI,442 16s ld (Yliztb-th Osmond); and PJ merstown-road, S421 Oli 8d (Elizabeth Osmond) Mr Paterson, in reference to the last twn items, the widening and channelling of Cardiff road and Palmerstown-road, proposed that the matter be deferred, on account of the t-xpensp involved. Mr Smith-Jones said the work bad been recommended to be undertaken, but he did not think it would be advisable and, therefor^, proposed that the wideuing, curbing, ann channelling of Cardiff and Palmerstown-roads be not proceeded with. Mr Barnett seconded. The Chairman said it was well-known that the money for that purpose was already borrowed, and that when the work was com- pleted it would not mean £10(1 a year to the town. It was possible to make the appearance of the approaches to the town better than the were at present, and they ought to do so.—The resolution was lost. The Surveyor was instructed to personally supervise the work of tarring the iron railings surrounding the cemetery. A WOODEN LYCEUM. The next item on the agenda was to consider the application of Mr J. Johnson, Penarth, for a license to open a wooden theatre in Barry Dock. Mr Kemptborne, solicitor, Nenth, It.H1 clerk to the Briton Ferry Urban Distric Council, explained, on the applicant's behalf, that he proposed erecting a wooden theatre opposite the Gas Works, Barry Dock. The applicant was a man well known in South Wales, and po,sep-sed testitn niats from the head-constable of the borough of iN eath; the mayor of Neath; and Mr W. E. Freeman, superintendent of the Glamorgan Constabulary. The theatre Mr Johnson proposed to erect would accommodate 600 people, and would i>e a well-lighted and ventilated building. A- regarded fire appliances, it possessed onlv buc kets, but the It ssee of the building would bl. guided by the Council in such matter, The length of the building was 80 feet, and the width 40 feet. In considering the application the Chairman said be was not in favour of the erection of a threatre in the district of that class. In the first place they were unsightly, they were insanitary, and also uncomfortable and danger- ous. He. therefore, proposed that the applica- tion be refused. Mr White seconded, and the Council, with the exception of Mr Barnett. who remained neutrltl-beÏJ'g to some extent interested in the Theatre Royal, Cadoxton-voted unanimously against the granting of a license tor such pur- pose. EXPERTS IN CLOTH WANTJM. Referring to the tenders accepted for uniforms and boots for the firemen belonging to the new voluntary fire brigade, Mi Evan Jones said the committee had accepted the tender of Messrs Shand, Mason and Co., of L ondon, for uniforms, in preference to the tender of the local firm. The difference in the amount of the tender was only £ 5 or £ 6, and as he under stood it was against the principle of I he Council, be would like to know why the tender of nn outside tirm bad been accepts 1. The Chairman said that quality bad decided the matter more than price. The quality of the stnff to be supplied by Mes-rs ",haud and Co. were much better than that supplied by the local firm. Mr Manaton moved that the tender of Mr W. L. Hughes, of Main-street, Cadoxton, be accepted. The whole of the money, he con t-nded, would be then spent in the district. Mr Hugbes was already making uniforms for the Council, and he was prepared, if he had the contract, to make the whole of the uniforms in the town. Mr Evan Jones seconded. In answer to the Chairman, Mr S. B. Somer- field said there was, in his opinion, little differ- ence in the qualities of the cloth submitted by the two firms. Mr Smith-Jones, observing that there seemed to be a great deal of uncertainty in the matter, proposed that it be referred back to the com- mittee. for re- consideration. Mr loterson was as much in favour as any- one of hang the work done in the district, but he thought it would be a very bad policy to have them UJade in the district under the circumstances. Mr Hughes would probably buy the majority of the materials from Messrs Shand aud Mason. I? the last contract given to Mr Hughes it bad beenaripulsted that the clothes be made in the district, and when the Council required an explanation he had sent the evasive answer that the next contract he was favoured with would be executed in the dis- trict. Mr Manaton, after further discussion, with- drew his resolution, and moved an amendment that the matter be referred to the Health Committee, and that they have a sample of the cloth before them. The Chairman observed that if they were not sharper in the matter they would have the building built and the firemen ready for duty before the clothes were made. Mr White second Mr Manaton's motion, with the addition that the committee have power to | engage an expert in cloth to facilitate their decisiou.—This was carried. THE HOSPITAL QUESTION. Mr White referred to the resolution that the modification suggested by the Surveyor be made in the contract, and that fresh tenders b" advertised for in the two local and two Cardiff papers, such tenders to be submitted to the next meeting of the Health Committee, who shall be authorised to schedule them before the Council meeting, and he wished to kuow the extent of the proposed modification, and also why one or two of the contracts had not been reduced. The Chairman There are several alterations which have been made in the hospital. We find that the tenders are very much in excess of the amount of money borrowed. Mr Pardoe has said that the material, especially the ironwork, has greatly increased in price since he made his estimate. The distance away of the site also affected the contractor's estimate, a fact which Mr Pardoe had not taken notice of. Mr Smith-Jones: Would it not be better that the plans come before the Council ? The Chairman W*- are not discussing altera- tion of plans, but alteration of materials. The amount of the cost can be considerably reduced by substituting Jess expensive materials. The saving has been estimated at E740. Mr White: I beg to move that the whole question of erecting a small-pox hospital be referred back to the Health Committee. Mr Manaton: I second that. The Chairman We are not our own masters in this matter, but only mediators. The plans have been submitted to the Loc..tl Government Board. It would probably be another twelve months before the hospital could be commenced, <nd till that time the isolation hospital in Colcot-road must remain idle. I believe that undoubtedly the wisest and safest course will be to adopt the recommendations of the committee. It is the only way in which we can solve the difficulty. According to the population the size of the hospital is proportioned, and I think we could not possibly do better than adopt the recommendations of the committee. The Clerk pointed out that some time ago a deputation from the Council to the Local Government Board had been informed that th( Hoard were not. prepared to reduce the estimate in any shape or form. They had tried their best as a Council to reduce as much as possible the expenditure. Mr Smith-Junes I am strongly in favour of Mr White's proposition. There are stro g reasons why it should be adopted. In cutting dpwn the expenses they would be doiug very good service. Mr Paterson The tenders of the contractors are considerably above Mr Pardoe's estimate. The stuff seems to have been altered on purpose to suit these contractors. The resolution as proposed read that the whole question of erecting the small-pox hospital be referred back with a view of sub- mitting plans to build only a section of the hospital, suitable to the requirements of this town for the next five years. Mr White's pro- position was then put, when Mr White, Mr Smitb-Jotvs, and Mr Manaton voted in its favour; and Mr Paterson, Mr Barnett, Mr Fvall Jones, Mr JW, and Mr Morgan against, Mr Thomas remaining neutral. The proposition was, therefore, lost. Mr Smith Jones then moved that the matter be referred back to the Health Committe, which was f-econded by Mr Evan Jones and carried. LAND FOR THE HOSPITAL The last Hospital Committee having recom- mended a site on the Buttrills for the proposed hospital, Mr White moved that the Council offer the Wenvoe Estate authorities, to whom the land belonged, the sum of S500 per acre, but added that it was most unreasonable to erect a general hospital so far from the town. Mr Evan Jones seconded. The Chairman said they should well weigh the facts. He was of opinion that there was no pbtce in the district so suitable for a sits for the hospital as the one selected. A concensus of medical opinion was in favour of the site. There would be five acres of field with a splendid view of the channel and surrounding country before them. It would be beneficial, both from a health and financial standpoint. They hoped to see a general hospital erected fhere in the near future, and he asked the Council not to delay any longer, but approve of the recommendation of the committee. Mr Manaton Dr Neale said that anywhere was preferable to the top of the hill. The Clerk: He did not say that before the committee. The proposition was then voted on and lost. RATEPAYERS' MEETING SUGGESTED. Councillor White, upon his motion being lost, then asked that tbeqir stion should remain in abeyance until a town's meeting could be called to consider it. This was a question which intimately concerned every ratepayer in the district, and he considered every ratepayer ought to be appealed to before the Council committed itself. 'I he Chairman I quite agree with that. Mr Smith-Jones: I secund the suggestion made by Councillor White. The Clerk then intimated that in the absence of a requisition, he did not think that the ex- penses of a town's meeting could be borne by the rates. The Chairman Then I wove that the matter be allowed to stand over for a time, in order that an opportunity be given for anyone to call a meeting if they ft-el disposed to do so. It is no use doing anything that is illegal, and I have no doubt public interest in the matter is suffi- cient to call a meeting. This was seconded by Councillor David Morgan, and agreed to nem con. ALLEGATIONS OF EXCESSIVE HOURS. Councillor E. B. Smith-Jones called attention to what he termed a fact connected with the contrrsct for the new well at Higlis of men work- ing one-Hiid-a- lialf-flavs on tije same shift. It WHS a great. hardship that men were this called upon to work excessive hours, aud the shame of Mich t thmji fell equally upon the Coun il as upon ttie contractor if it were permitted t. continue. He certainly usk, d thetu to ii quire into iL Mr E. W. Waite, the water engineer, when appealed to, contended that the men only w rk. d nine hour shifts, and finished at noon on Saturday. Mr Smith-Jones rhey work twelve hours at a stretch, wh- n the ordinary underground shift all over the country is only eight hours. They work also in water during the whole of thi^ time, and I feel sure thltt it is not the wish of the Council that they should do 8.. < he Chairman Perhaps Mr Waite will make inquiries into it and report. This was agreed to. THE ESTIMATES. It was decided that the Council hold a special meeting to consider the estimates on Friday evening next. A CASE OF COMPENSATION. Councillor White asked whether the Officials Committee bad any report to make with re- ference to the case of the man Crockett, who was injured at the Gas Works, which he had brought up some time ago. The Chairman announced that tbe committee bad met ttiree or four times, nndbad formulated a general line of policy In reference to the various matters before them. A full report would eventually be made to the Council. They had, I however, decided in reference to the case of the man Crockett that it was not advisable to in- terfere, seeing that the llttter hid already signed an agreement to accept a lump sum from the Insurance Company. This was either a for- tunate or unfortunate step on his part. Councillor White asked for a report in specific terms, and it was promised that this should be prasented at the next meeting. "TO BE HEARD OF MEN." A letter was read from the manager of a local newspaper office asking the Council to petition the Postmaster-General to place a larger pillar- box in Holton-road near their offices for their use, seeing that on Thursdays they claimed to fill it. Councillor Smith-Jones: Let them com- municate with the Postmaster. It is a matter for them. We should not interfere. When this Council has previously taken action it was in the direction of getting facilities. The Postal authorities surely know their own business. The Chairman thought no harm would be done if they wrote stating that complaints had reached them. Councillor A. T. White: Put it in the singu lar, not the plural. If the local postmaster were acquainted with the circumstances he would make a collection at the office. He moved that the letter lie on the table. Councillor Evan Jones moved that they write stating that the complaint had reached them. Councillor John Thomas seconded, and this was carried by one vote. THEATRICAL LICENSE. Miss Adria Hill applied for the theatrical licenoe of the Cadoxton Theatre in place of Mr English, but inasmuch as no testimonials were sent with the application its consideration was deferred to the special meeting. NEW PILLAR-BOX. Provision was granted upon the usual con- ditions for the erection of a pillar-box in Phyllis-street, Barry Island. THE SERIOUS INFANT MORTALITY. Mr Smith-Jones called attention to the ex- ceedingly high death rate in the district, and thought it would be to the advantage of the town to further ventilate the sewers by adopt- ing the recommendations of the medical officer (Dr. Neale) to tap the drains where ventilating shafts were erected on buildings. He thought it would be of great advantage if the Council recommended the Health Committee to take into their consideration the separate report of the medical officer. The Chairman here announced that Dr. Neale would have been present at that meeting, but for indisposition. Mr Evan Jtlne. asked whether owners of property had been notified of the intentions of the Council to erect ventilating shafts at the end of the various lanes free of charge. He should also like to know whether the surveyor meant to convey the tapa to the owners of pro- perty. The Chairman said Mr Pardoe had acted in conformity with the resolution passed at the last meeting. This concluded the public business.

FORTHCOMING ORATORIO AT BARRY. The Barry Temperance Choir (under the conductorship of the well-known and popular musician, Mr W. T. Samuel, I.S.M.,) are busily preparing for a grand performance of Handel'* immortal oratorio, "The Messiah." The con- cert will be held at the Romilly Hall, Barry, on Wednesday, December 6tb, 1899. We have been informed that a splendid orchestra, under the able conductorship of Mr Paul Draper, has been engaged to accompany the choir, and the following artistes have also been engaged Soprano, Miss Mabel Johnson, R.A.M., Barry (a great favourite with Barry audiences); contralto, Miss Mary Richards (just returned from a successful tour in America); tenor, Mr Richard Thomas, Llanelly, winner of the tenor solo at the Newport and Blaenan Festiniog National Eisteddfodau. Mr Thomas is one of the best tenors in the Principality, and the American, English, and Welsh Press speak very highly of him. Bass, MrEmlynDavies.A.h.C.M. Mr Davies is undoubtedly one of the most promiuent singers in the kingdom. It will no doubt, be a treat to hear him, and his musical friends in the district should not lose the opportunity. We are glad to hear that the Choir is making satisfactory progress, and everything points to a a very interesting and successful concert.

THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR MOVEMENT. Speaking at the recent International Convention of Christian Endeavour Societies at Detroit, U.S.A., Dr Clark-or Father Eudeavour.aa he is lovingly called-the founder of the movement, said it was still "going and growing." This statt-ment was substantiated by the secretary (Mr Bier), who re. ported that during the last eighteen years, since the formation of the first society, the increase had been so rapid and continuous that there 55,813 societies, with an aggregate membership of 3,350,000. The movement has been welcomed by every Evangelical denomination, and has penetrated into every civilised country in the world, which will help it to become a great international peace and arbitration society. In July, 1900, the first World's Convention will be held in London, and i: is iutimated that about 40,000 delegates will be in attendance, amoug them several thousands from the United StateB. Probably there will then be in London more Amerioans than have been in the city at one time on any previous occasion. According to information just received, the ConTention will take the form of a huge camp meeting, instead of being h. Id in a number of halls 111 various parts of London. The task ul finding a spot both suitabh and available was brset with great difficulties, but the committee has fouud aud decided up«n a place in eveiy way adequate to the requirements, and negotiations are being completed to secure it as the site of a White City," that will probably he unique in the history of religious movements and meeting Two gieac tents, each having a seating capacity for eight to ten thousand persons, will be brought over from America; two audi- t(,riuijis &I i. ady i reett d in the selected park, and estimated to sjat upwards of 6 000, will be re- qui,itiurie(i and a number of smaber tents, 8f>at.

BARRY BRAKE MONOPOLY. THE AGREBMENT WITHDRAWN. POLICE-COURT CASES A^AIN ADJOURNED. MR LASCELLES CARR AND THE INIQUITY. At Barry Dock Police-court on Monday the sixteen separate summonses against local brake drivers for plying for hire without a licence in the town again came up for hearing, after being adjourned for a month. The magistrates on the Bench were Mr Lascelles Carr and Colonel Guthrie.—Mr J. Arthur Hughes, clerk to the District Council, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr D. W. Evans (Messrs George David and Evans) defended. Mr Hughes, at the outaet, said that he had agreed with Mr Evans that the case should be adjourned for another month. He had seen Mr George David in Cardiff. and so agreed with him.—Mr Evanii said be had heard nothing of it.—Mr Hughes said be had written to Messrs George David and Evans that the agreement incurring the monopoly had been set aside. Mr D. W. Evans only objected to top terms of the adjournment, and desired no con- ditions imposed. Mr Hughes submitted that the only question was whether or not the men were licensed. He was not prepared to go into the question at that court, as it was, in his opinion, out of their jurisdiction. Mr Lascelles Carr This is the matter of a monopoly very like Oom Paul and the Trans- Taal ? Mr Evans The sole question is the continu- ing to ply for hire. These proceedings are taken because the men had no license. They bad paid their money for the license, and this money ba" never been returned to them. The answer is that they could not have a license, because tbt- Council had granted a monopoly. They were applying for a mandamus compelling the Council to licer* Mr Hughes: When this case first came before the court Mr Evans asked for an adjournment flIT three months, and he (Mr Hughes) had asked for a month only. It is admitted by everyone that until the license is granted the men are breaking the law. Mr Evans That application has been made, the fees paid, and the men have done all they were called upon to do. Mr Carr: May we ask Mr Hughes if counsel's I opinion is adverse to the action of the Council ? Mr Hughes: The Council has come to the conclusion that the agreement should be set aside by mutual consent, to which the two brake proprietors have agreed, and if they would re-apply for licenses the Council would re-consider the application. He was of opinion that the Council were acting quite fairly to the men. Mr Evans The Council have a limited dis- cretion in the matter. Mr Carr Were the licenses in the first place absolutely refused on their merit? Mr Hughes I cannot give a reason for their being refused. Mr Hughes did not suggest that the licensee were refused because the applicants were in any way incapable, or their horses or vehicles unfit. He submitted that the Bench were going beyond their power in the case in asking for such information. Mr Carr The case is left in our hands, for us to mete out punishment; and in exercising our discretion the whole of the circumstances should be laid before us. Mr Hughes I submit it is not fair for you to express an opinion. This question can only be decided in a higher court. Mr Carr: I suppose the men were interfering with the Monoipoly rgranted, and that's the reason for your attitude. In my capacity as magistrate, I shall not permit myself to be the cats-paw of any authority acting ,in a manner that is suggested by their own counsel's opinion to be improper, seeing that the agree- ment for a monopoly has now been withdrawn. Mr Hughes The question is not open to me to discuss. Mr Evans: This is an application for a further adjournment for a month, and I submit that it is withm the power of the Bench to make any terms they please on the adjournment. Colonel Guthrie The cases are adjourned for a month. Mr Evans Without any condition P Colonel Guthrie Yes, certainly.

A. Hughes, and Captain Murrell was appointed to wait upon the School Board to discuss the question of the teaching of pnpil teachers at the County School.—The over-crowded state of the school was brought to the notice of the committee, the total num- ber in attendance at present being 202, and the headmaster asked for additional temporary assistance.

THE TRAGIC DEATH OF THE POET-POLICEMAN. v "i INQUEST AND VERDICT. On Monday afternoon an inquest was held at tke Buckley Arms Hotel, Dinas Mawddwy, touching the death of Charles Ashton, poet-polieeman and Welsh bibliographer, whose death at his own home on the previous Friday evening was of a most tragic order. Ashton returned home last Tuesday, after an absence of nearly three months, and seemed inr excellent health and spirits. His stay, was, how- ever, not for any length of time, and a few hears before his death he had taken some package* to the. railway station, intending to leave for Cardiff by the first train on Saturday morning. About 10.20 on Friday night Mr, Ashton rushed serosa the road to the house of Police-eonstable Jones, and begged for protection from her husband. She was covered with blo(,d, and was in a fainting eon- diti. n. Dr Morris was sent for, and as soen as Mrø Ashton had been attended to he and Peliee- constable Jones went over to see Ashton, the lauel for the purpose of arresting him. They were horrified to find him lying dead, with his throat out, his fingers gashed, and the right hand holding a razor. Mra Ashton told of a terrifie struggle with her husband. Once she got out through the back door, only to be pulled back by the infuriated man, and how she escaped she could not say. The affair has caused much excitement iu the neigh- t bourhood. The jury returned a verdict of U Suicide whilst temporarily insane."

W. Evaus complained to the Bench thafctbe money deposited by the men with their applies- tiona had not been returned, whereupon Mr J. Arthur Hughes, clerk to the Council, retorted that the men could have it by fetching it. Mr Evaas replied to this, and said that unless it was returned to the men he would sue the Council ia the County Court for it. On Monday night, however, the money was sent to each applicant, conse- quently the need for an aotion in the County Court is obviated.
