BY THE WAY. .
BY THE WAY. Few incidents more painfully tragic could be imagined than the death of the Rev. T. B. Phillips, of Tylagwyn, on Friday. A member of the Ogmore and Garw Council, he had just received that mark of appreciation, esteem, recognition and confidence from the hands of his colleagues, which every public man holds dear and strives to win, when he had a fatal seizure and passed away within two hours surrounded by a number of devoted col- leagues. The soene in the Council Chamber was a most solemn one. The blow fell with tragic suddenness; members who had been associated with the reverend gentleman for many years, realised his condition was serious, and with that sympathy and brotherly feeling which makes Ogmore and Garw Council one of the most pleasant of Councils to attend, they sought to Assist him out of a predioa- ment with threatened disaster. But it was in vain. The reverend gentleman strove to give roioe to his thoughts which became dis- connected as the seizure became more evident. He lived long enough to accept the reward for faithful service which his colleagues unanimously gave him and to thank them for it. He had waited patiently for the coveted position for some years, and it was the irony of fate that after having waited 80 long he should hare been allowed so brief a time to enjoy the fruits of his labour so richly de- served. t • • The Rev. T. B. Phillips was a man of many activities. He was ordained a minister in 1885. Well known in the Baptist denomina- tion he was Secretary of the West Glamorgan Association for six years. He was a popular preacher in Welsh. An indefatigable servant of the public, he never tired of doing good, of putting wrong right, and making easier the path of some unfortunate individual. It was as a public man that he was best known. For eleven years he was a member of the Ogmore and Garw Council, and also oocu- pied a seal on the Llangeinor Burial Board, Pontvcymmer Secondary School Governors, and Bridgend and Cowbridge Board of Guar- dians. Hard and enthusiastically as he wor- ked on the throe former bodies it was on the Guardians that his best work was done. He was a champion of the poor, but while fight- ing their fight he never sought and never asked for more than justice end until he con- sidered justice had been done he was unyield- ing. It was seldom that he missed a Guar- dians meeting. His attendances this year were very few short of the maximum, and he never failed while at the House to chat with a few of the old inmates. Most of them knew the Rev. T. B. Phillips, and held him in that I high regard and affectionate esteem which the aged respectable poor do to those who are thoughtful of their welfare. "The poor ye will always have with you." He knew the text, and his knowledge of it gave him a deeper sympathy and a stronger desire to do his little best to alleviate to some extent the hard lot of those who find struggle for exis- tence discouraging and sometimes heartbreak- ing. He had a tremendous enthusiasm to do good, and it served him well as a Guardian. It increased ten-fold his value as a member. His general work was appreciated, but that more intimately connected with the poor was work which will not be forgotten by those he had made happier, because of his knowledge of them and their contact with him. He had a breezy manner that some mistook for brusqueness, a voice which led some to think he waa harsh. Little did they know him who was beloved by a host of friends, by those to whom he ministered, and held in high esteem by those who watched his works and knew him as a man of sincere purpose and integrity. 0 We have been given a capital-if, to Porthcawl ratepayers, an unwelcome—illus- tration this week of what an Urban Council should not do. Last summer's rate was re- duced from 4s. to 2s. 6d. in the dE, and it was the intention of the Council to beat all records with its winter rate. Instead of the usual 4s., 2s. 6d. was again called for. The ratepayers were de- lighted they thought better times were in store, but those who made the rate knew that the estimates had been cut down to the lowest—lower than a wise Council would have cut them—because of the intention to intro- duce a rate that would stifle criticism, which was at that time keen and consistent. The Council punched the ball, it hit the ground and has bounced back and struck the strikers. The rate has gone up to 3s. lOd. for the en- suing half-year, or a Is. 4d. increase on the last half-year, and not a 2s. increase, as men- tioned by "Mariner" in his notes. On top of the poor rate, which is a record, the ratepayers of Porthcawl will have to bear a heavy burden, and naturally there is a good deal of feeling that they should be faced with increased financial loads when everything, including the price of food- stuffs, has increased. They now condemn the Council for its pretence of economy in the past and for failing to look ahead. They want to know whether saner oounsels will pre- vail in the future. We do not think Porth- cawl's example will be followed by other Councils in the district. It is not sound finance; a hand-to-mouth existence never pays, and such a policy is only calculated to arouse anger amongst the ratepayers when the increased demand is made. The Council should endeavour to keep the rate at a nor- mal level, create a reserve fund, and keep a strict watch on all expenditure. There is no economy in starving any branch of municipal service one half-year and having to find more than double the amount the next half-year to make good the damage. A copy of the esti- mate would be interesting reading this half- year, if they Council will circulate it. w < w At Porthcawl Council on Monday Mr. D. Davies urged the Council to revise its scale of water charges, so that premises where an abnormal quantity of water is consumed should pay in proportion to consumption. The proposal had little support, but we suggest that the point is one deserving consideration. In the first place if adopted the scheme would increase the revenue of the Council and would assist to meet the liabilities connected with its water undertaking. Secondly, the propo- sal is a fair and just one, and is adopted by other authorities. It appears to be only just and right, especially in connection with municipally owned concerns, that the more water a person consumes the more he should pay for, otherwise he gets greater benefits than other people and pays less for them in proportion. Penybont Rural Council have made the distinctions that Mr. D. Davies asks Porthcaw l Council to make. Its annual rent charge (for domestic purposes) is based on the rateable value of dwelling houses. For build- ing purposes special rates are introduced. When supplied by measure the charge is Is. per 1,000 gallons (quarterly) and the follow- ing are the sca les "for other purposes" — Horses and cows, 5s. per head per annum carriages, 4s. per head per annum, and baths, 4s. each per annum. Bridgend Gas and Water Company supply water to the majority of business premises by meter, and the Garw and Ogmore Water Company have a scale of char- ges similar to Penybont Council'9. So it will be seen that Mr. D. Davies was asking nothing unreasonable. The question is one which might be discussed with advantage, and the member will, no doubt, bring his proposal before the Council again, when we hope it will meet with support.

IPERSONAL.t
I PERSONAL. t [Contributions under this heading are invite but all information must be authenticated before dispatch.] The Rev. R. J. Bowen, B.A., pastor of the Congregational Church, Porthcawl, has re- signed, having acoepted a call to work in cM-.t nection with the Y.M.C.A. Miss Pioton-Turbervill on Friday presided at the meeting of the British Committee 015 the International Women's Congress, which is to meet at the Hague at the end of this month. w Private J. Harding, of the Machine Guif Section, South Wales Borderers, was reported missing on December 20th. Mr. George Harding, of 30 Castle Street, Maesteg, woukj be thankful for any news about him. • • • Mr. A. S. Williams, of West Susse? youngest son of the late Judge Gwilym Wil- liams, Miskin Manor, and brother of Mr. Rhys Williams, K.C., has introduced a nuIIPI ber of bloodhounds into Glamorgan for the? purpose of police work. • • • Mr. W. R. Rowlands, son of Mr. Rowlands, Brynbedw Street, Blaengarw, passed his examination, with first class honours, in Lon- don, on the 17th inst., securing a very good berth in the Government Wireless SNerv-ice. Ho was in fact sent to Southampton the fol- lowing day. w Mr. Reginald D. I:ry, younger son 01 Major Bray, Killimorie, Porthcawl (late of Port Talbot), has passed the final examination of the Law Society. Mr. Bray served the first ,part of his articles with Mr. Trevor EL Hunter, now barrister-at-law, and completed them with Mr. H. W. Henderson, solicitor- Port Talbot. < < < Mr. P. A. Lewis, B.A. (modern language master at the Barry County School foci Boys), second son of Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Lewis, Hamilton House, Carmarthen, has ob- tained a commission in the 18th (Service) Battalion Welsh Regiment, stationed at Porthcawl. Lieutenant Lewis is an ex-cadet of the Senior Division Officers' Training Corps, University of Wales Contingent. < Mrs. Alice Georgina Caroline Clark, of Talygarn, who died on the 6th March lost, wife of Mr. Godfrey L. Clark, J.P., of Taly- garn, left unsettled estate of the gross value of £ 14,680, of which R14,383 is net person- alty. The testatrix left to her sons Lionel Clement Erskine Clark and Godfrey Henry Jocelyn Clark moneys and securities to which she may be entitled at her death, and she be- queather L50 to her housekeeper, Louisa Amos. She left £100 each to her two sisters, ZCIOO to Valentine Inglefield, £ 50 to her god- son Donald Erskine, and the residue of her estate she left to her husband. Mr. Gomer G. Phillips, Oakfield- Terrace, Pricetown, Nantymoel, a Bryncethin boy, now an official at Messrs. Cory Brothers and Company's Penllwyngwent Colliery, has been appointed Superintendent and Instructor at the Midsummerhorton Rescue Station near Bath. He secured the Home Office Firemen's certificate in 1912, and obtained the St. John's Ambulance certificate last year, under, the instructorship of Dr. Anderson, of Og- more Vale, and he has received a most effi- cient training in the Rescue Station duties under Mr. J. E. Parkinson at the Bryn- menin Rescue Station. He was one of the first team that qualified at this new Station. W The Bishop of Llandaff has offered the office of Rural Dean, vacant by tho death of the Rev. D. Evans, M.A., of Llanmaes, to the Rev. Isaiah Roberts, Vicar of Cowbridge, by whom it "has been accepted. The Bishop's choice will undoubtedly prove an acceptable one to clergy and laity alike in the Deanery, w here the new Rural Dean is widely known and very popular. a 9 Mr. Roberts is an old Dowlais boy, and commenced his career of Church life and Church work when the present Dean of Ban- gor was Rector of the Iron City. Proceed- ing to Cambridge University and taking the degree of B.A., he was ordained in 1896, and worked successively as curate of St. Cather- ine's, Cardiff, St. Phillips', Kensington, and the parish of Llandaff. In 1904 he was ap- pointed by the late Bishop Lewis to his pre- sent incumbency of Llanblethian, Cowbridge, and Welsh St. Donats, where he has laboured faithfully and successfully since his appoint- ment. During the ten years of his Vicariate a great deal of restorative and other good work has been accomplished in this triple parish. We gather that on several occasions he has declined preferment, having elected to remain in Cowbridge to complete what is no doubt a cherished hope, viz., the restoration of the old and historic Church of St. Mary's. w Amongst the men from Pencoed who have had a second furlough home is Mr. Cundy, of The Beeches. Mr. Cundy served for years as a petty officer on board one of his Majesty's battleships. He was called up soon after the war commenced, and just be- fore his second furlough was stationed off the East Coast. The ship Mr. Cundy is serving on has had two or three quite remarkab le escapes from being sunk by the enemy. Mr. Cundy is of opinion that our Naval successes have been more numerous than the public newspaper reports are allowed to reveal. • • • A civilian who is on service amongst the troops has also been able to "run home." We refer to Mr. Alfred Jenkins, B.A. Mr. Jenkins, who is a son of Mr. David Jenkins, Ardwyn, Penooed, formerly of Bridgend, has been at work with the Y.M.C.A. for several months. At the time he took up the work he was a ministerial student at the Theologi- cal College, Aberystwyth. Before entering Aberystwyth, Mr. Jenkins held the honour- able position of sub-warden of the Mansfield Settlement at Canning Town, London. His experience, therefore, has been a varied one. For the last few months Mr. Jenkins has been on the Y.M.C.A. staff carrying on work in a "hut" belonging to the Y.M.C.A. in Pem- brokeshire.
