ABERGAVENNY BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
ABERGAVENNY BOARD OF GUARDIANS. COUNTY COUNCIL EXPENDITURE. The fortnightly meeting of the Abergavenny Board of Guardians was held on Friday, Major W. Williams presiding. There were also present Mr. H. J. Gwillim (Vice-Chairman), Mrs. Hiley, Rev. Father Wray, Rev. J. F. \V. Trumper, Rev. D. E. Hughes, Messrs. Benjamin Price, John Prichard, Morgan W. David, George Spencer, Charles Thomas, Walter Johnson, Robert Workman, David Edwards, John Lewis, John Jenkins, Win. Biggs, Robert Johnson, John Baynam, Alfred Edwards, John Watkins, George Dando, Wm. Gwillim, Joseph Howells and Wm. Williams (Cwmyoy). I A Difference of Opinion. ] During the consideration ot the rehei cases, Mr. Morgan W. David said it seemed to him that the tendency of that Board was that when people tried to do their best they took from them, but when people knew the dodges of the Poor Law and tried to diddle the Guardians they were most liberal to them. Father Wray said he must protest against such a statement. He had had a good deal to do with the cases, and it was not true. Mr. Morgan David It is my experience, any- how. Father Wray We take the cases fairly into consideration, and it is not right for you to make an assertion against this Board which is abso- lutely untrue. I Master's Report. I 1 he i\laster reported that there were at present I I 94 men, 40 women, and 18 children in the house, a total of 152, compared with 171 for the cor- responding period last year, a decrease of It). The number of vagrants in the casual wards during the fortnight was 120, and during the corresponding period last year there were 248 in the lodging-house and.-ro in the casual wards, a total of 404, showing a decrease compared with last year of 284. The Tea Hour. The House Committee reported that the pipes of the heating apparatus in the laundry were becoming worn, and needed attention. Several of the men expressed opinion that the tea hour should be changed from 6 o'clock to 5..>0 p.m. The committed were not prepared to rccommend any alteration, however. Thev recommended that the appointment of assistant relieving officer for vagrants be not continued, and that tickets to casuals be issued bv the labour master. The report was adopted, with the alteration that the tickets for vagrants should be issued by the direction of the Master. New Workhouse Site. The Clerk reported that the committee ap- pointed had gone to Llaufoist to see Mr. Salter, the tenant of the land acquired by the Guardians. The committee came to the conclusion that the better plan would be to serve Mr. Salter with twelve months' notice, and this had been done. Mr. Salter said he was willing for the Guardians to have the whole or part of the'land when they required it, subject to a mutual agreement as to terms of compensation. Mr. John Prichard said they explained to Mr. Salter that they would not want the sloping part for perhaps a year, but they would require the top part. They arranged for Mr. Salter to put in a crop which would come off in six months, so that the ground would be clear if they wanted it then. Relief and Cost of Food. The Clerk read letters from the Swansea and another Union, intimating that owing to the increased cost of food they were increasing their out-relief hy 20 per cent. I Mr. Joseph Howells Are we going to follow suit r The Clerk They don't ask you. The Yice-Chairman Are we going to take the same matter into consideration ? The Chairman You must give notice of motion if you want to do anything of that sort. County Council Expenditure. Mr. John Prichard said he believed everybody read the "Chronicle." About three or four i-ca(i ',lie Chro,.i i c l e. weeks ago there appeared in that paper an ex- cellent article showing how the County Council were responsible for the great increase in the rates, and pointing out how economical the Guardians were in the discharge of their duties. He thought that everyone who read the article must agree that the facts were accurately and convincingly stated, and he should be glad if they could set apart a short time at the next meeting to discuss the matter. The way the County Council s demands were jumping up hand over fist year after year was becoming in- tolerable. He would not give any particular instances then, but he would ask that the matter be discussed that day fortnight and that they ti-,o advisability of asking other Unions to join them in endeavouring to put a cheek on this enormously increasing expenditure. Per- haps some of them had noticed that I.ord 1'ose- bcry recently s poke on the d dy- The Chairman remarked that Mr. Prichard could go into all this at the next meeting. Father Wray Mr. Chairman, you are feeling it very much. (Laughter). The Chairman (who is a member of the Comity Council; No I must say I agree with him hIt he is giving his case before he moves his motion. Mr. John Prichard said it behoved every spendiIig power to be as careful as possible during the time the war lasted. There were many things which might be put off for years, and those in power should do all thev could not to spend more money than was possible. The Chairman You had better give notice for the next meeting, and you can bring up i:oi7 yop.r friend, Lord Rosebery, ili,, ,I) 'ir"eli d !,(,Y( l l?-oseber) Mr. John Prichard Your friend, he (hauL'htcr}. Repudiate; A letter was read from Mr. Lawrence, wheel- wright, saying that about 18 months ago the late Master gave him an order for a new handtruck for the workhouse. The truck was partly made, and lie wished to know if it was required at present. If the Master would call and see if he could let him know if lie required it, and lie would then complete it. I In the discussion which followed it appeared that no authority had been given by the Guar- dians to order the truck, ana they decided to repudiate all liability. k
- - - I I Railway Acdtot at…
Railway Acdtot at Ponifpaoi Rd. This morning the passengers by the Cardiff to Birmingham express, which is due at Aber- gavenny at a few minutes part eight, had an alarming expetijnee. The tram was rather late in starting from Cardiff, owing to the late arrival of the Ocean Mail express, and made a quick run to Pontypool Road. On approaching the Pontypool Road station, the passengers were greatly alarmed at the sudden stoppage of the hain bv what was felt to be a collision or contact with some resisting body. Windows were smashed, luggsge on the racks was preci- pated on to the seats and floor, and the parcels and packages in the vans were thrown into con- fused heaps. The accident occurred about a hundred yards on the Newport side of the station, at the top of the rather steep incline entering the station. On looking out of the carriage windows, it was noticed that a man was being lifted off the express engine, appar- ently injured, and many of the passengers left the carriages to make enquiries. It was then found that the express had been in collision with the steam motor-car which runs between Pontypool Road Station and Panteg and thence up to Blaenavon. The end of the car was smashed into chips, and the engine buffers were wedged underneath the lateral girders of the motor-car, the body of which had been forced off its bed and thrown in a diagonal position over the wheels, those in front being thrown off the line. Thus interlocked the engine of the express appeared to have pushed the motor-car to the station platform, a distance of about forty yards, further progress being checked by the body of the car coming in contact with the platform. If the collision had taken place with a less yielding obstacle, lie consequences would probably have been serious. The car was otherwise damaged. The cause of the accident appeared to have been very simple, and the question is whether it was avoidable or not. It seems that the car—which was empty was being shunted in the opposite direction to the express train, and met it end on end. The names and addresses of all the passengers were taken, and after about an hour's delay the passengers were taken on to Hereford and Birmingham, those to Abergavenny being con- veyed by the 9 o'clock train. Fortunately, no one was injured, so far as we have been able to ascertain, excepting the fireman of the express train, but. it was thought that his injuries were not of a serious character. 6
National Union of Railwaymen.
National Union of Railwaymen. The following resolution was passed by the members of the National Union of Railwaymen at the branch meeting at Abergavenny on Sunday last That this meeting of railway- men, consisting of an important section of the ratepayers of Abergavenny expresses its em- phatic indignation at the unscrupulous attitude of certain landlords of the town in raising the existing rents of house property, under the disguise of additional taxation owing to the war.' Such an attitude is not only wholly unjustifiable but distinctly unpatriotic, and is calculated to impose unnecessary burdens upon a section of the inhabitants who are already overburdened by an acute financial rise upon all food and clothing, etc and we have decided to appeal to the good sense of the landlords to refrain from such a high-handed policy, which. if persisted in, is calculated to fan the lfame of industrial rebellion." Cop'es of this resolution were ordered to be sent to the local Press, the Cabinet, and the Labour Members of Parliament.

'9' Clever Belgian Crafts man.Nfr, W. Bevan, ironmonger, is exhibiting in his shop in Cross- street an interesting specimen of wrought iron work, which has been cleverly executed by M. August Hermans, a Belgian refugee located at Church Stretton. The work has been done with horse-nail heads, and represents a spray of in" with a rose in the centre, and is intended as a centre panel for ornamental work. One can scarcely conceive that such delicate and artistic work and such a true copy of nature could be accomplished out of such unpromising material. The work of M. Hermans is being sold for the benefit of the Belgian Relief Fund.
