It was decided to place the oaptured Ueraan run allocated to the town on the Westgate site, temporarily. During December the sanitary inspector I condemned one owt: of pigs' heads and fats and 3! cwta. of hams.

ITHE COUNCIL.
I THE COUNCIL. A good, if sportive meeting of the Swansea Council. Business tran- sacted without rancdur. Time, on the whole, devoted to matters of importance. A better sense of pro- portion than has been customary. Good fellowship. A .desire to "get on with the government of the town. No comedian-like "back- chat." No highly-superior coun- cillors, of vinegary disposition, watching every chance to score off the other fellow. If we can pre- serve the mood of Wednesday' s meeting, it will have been worth while bringing in the new twenty, But first a word of protest to Mr. Town Clerk and the councillors. We shall not be surprised to hear that the members are dissatisfied with the newspaper reports of the sitting. They are inadequate and insuffi- cient, possibly misleading. But the fault is not that of the press-' men. They did the best they could under the circumstances; and the circumstances were ludicrous. In the re-arrangement of the Council Chamber to seat the additional, members, the reporters have been i relegated to a table at tho end of the room. The accommodation is too 3mall,^ is too far away to. be of any use. and the unhappy writers see only the backs of most of the councillors. Until a change is effec- ted-and it can be quite easily efiectèd-the, ratêpayers of Swan- sea will be unable to obtain any very intelligible reports of Council meetings. I. Ih-e trend of affairs in the world outside was of course reflected in the business of the day. What Great Britain is thinking most about is not the Peace Conference but the wages question. Every trade has been recently, or is now, agitated about wago or salary rates. The vicious circle s working more viciously than ever, and we are all compelled to emu- late the youthful Oliver. The Council had many aspects of tha problem before it. The cleric? staffs had met in the Guildhall ¥^.rd during the day, and presented to the meeting an account of their grievances. In this cast- there seems to have been some misappre- hensiou, and we were led to expect a peaceful settlement. The Police I Force has been ostreperous, but here again the next Watch Committee meeting, it is hoped, will arrive at a bargain satisfactory to both sidoo. The Medical Officers are on the war-path all over the country, and later* on the Council will have to at- tend to this demand. We are heaftily glad to see that the views we expressed with regard I to the uncertificated teacheos some cime ago are now finding favour I with the Council. Yesterday it ws very plain that the majority of the j members' conceded that the case hVaÆ; one for re-adjustment; that it TIlS not fair to place these teachers in positions of responsibility, equal in every respect to those- held by the certificated teachers, and in many ¡ cases of greater responsibility, and yet pay them very greatly inferior I salaries. Is there a trade in Swan- sea which would allow it? We would imagine what. the Typo graphical Association would say to us were we to engage a man for the linotype machine who had not been through the customary period of training, and then pay him half to three-quarter what the trained men were making t There would be trouble. And it is not enough to answer that the Typographical As- sociation would not agree to the employment of such 8t man; and that therefore the trained teachers have just cause against the uncer- tificated ones in the* way of dis- crimination in salaries. Rightly or wrongly, the Education Authority has allowed these teachers, to go on until some of them are grey in the service. Let the Authority now say that it will not encourage the making of a new problem by opening the doors to a fresh lot of untrained teachers, J and let it recognise generously its obligations to those it at present en. gages. Let a premium be placed upon the certificate; but do not lit the contrast be such that all ideas of justice are outraged. When the scale comes back to the Authority, we trust that the actual .work done by these miserably-underpaid teachers—most of them lack the j certificate not for want of brains but because the circumstances in their day were not as favourable as they are now-and the value of their years of experience, will bfc more fittingly acknowledged. ii. 1 We confess that, like most people, we have been dazzled by the big schemes that are going to make a splendid city of Greater Swansea.. We are all inclined fct. dream, forgetting that there are mud-puddles to clear at our doors. Therefore it was wholesome disci- pline vesterds-v to have to listen to Mr. Harry Griffiths dissertate upon j the miserable stats of St. Thomas —"the Cinderella Ward." Civic; centres, new townhaHsv control ol the bays, reforms in the parks- they are all excellent things, but when we are told of people who have to build dams in front of their doors to repel flood-water, we caj) very well imagine them using the word in its expletory sense as they think of a Council which has its mind occupied by these fine and large schemes to the exclusion of their needs. Greater Swansea, if it is to be built on sure foundations, must be erected on the happiness of its people. First tilings must come first, as Mr. Lovell said. We want I a new Townhall; we want it badly, I The ramshackle housing of our municipal staffs is some joke. The town does need a centre in which its civic dignity and pride is incarnated; it requires a visible symbol of its aspirations and its pre- sent greatness. But most of all it needs a true conception of' great- ness and that is only to be found in a sturdy, contented, body of people who insist upon living under decent ccmditions as a preliminary stage to civic grandeur. St. Thomas ought to be set right before we tackle the building of the new civic centre. A ratepayer home ought not to be endangered by muddy flood-waters as long as engineers can solve the difficulty. (We wonder what in the world would happen if a dozen councillors had to build dams before their front doors!) And the housing problem ought to be well on the way to solu- tion before we engage ourselves in serious contemplation of municipal trimmings. I Ht. 11 I At the back of every housing! scheme in the country to-day is the financial question. The Birming- ham Conference urges that the State should make itself respon- sible for any deficiencies that may arise; and it is hard to see any other way out. We are getting ready to build on the Town Hill site at Swan- sea. The rents, if these are fixed on an economic base, will be somewhere around fifteen shillings a week! And mark the inevitable consequences! The Rents Restriction Order can- not remain a permanent regulation, and when it is removed-and we hope the Government will keep it on until affairs are more settled— values will jump up everywhere if the municipality is going to set the standard by fixing the economic rate according to present costs of production. In other words, if the 0-nincil builds at Town Hill, and lots its workmen's houses at I economic rentals, we shall be mak- I ing a gigantic free gift to house- owners who built when prices were reasonable. r In self-defence, the Government willi be compelled to subsidise, and that heavily, the municipalities who are going in for big housing schemes, and it will be good busi- ness if they retain the Rent Restric- tion Order until the conditions are I easier. Otherwise up will jump rents, and then we shall M faced with another universal demand for increased wages to meet the fresh demands of the landlords. 'Keeping the more dazzling civic projects in mind, and watching our chance to acquire Singleton—which is essential to Svansea either as public park or as housing site-first things must come first. There is the immense drainage problem and the still greater housing and road I and transit problem. These are going to demand the .fullest atten- tion of our councillors for some time to come. If there is time, and if there are means, to go on with the other projects—well and good. V. I I Under the chairmanship of Mr. Hemming, the Parks Committee is renewing its youth. But we wish its members would keep in mind the principles governing the pro- vision of open spaces. They were instituted to give "breathing space" to the people of crowded centres; pleasure as well if possible, but first and mainly they are public lungs. The heretical notion seems to have obtained favour at the Parks Com- mittee that these open spaces exist for the purpose of supplying special- ised entertainment; and we can see the day coming, if the cdmmittee is i not checked in its course, when there will be no room in our small Swansea parks for the populace to roam over and for the children to play on the sward. For there is talk of another croquet around- i and that in the corner of the Recre- ation Ground which is so pleasant a promenade among the flower beds o' summer evenings; of concert pitches, ant} giant marquees, on I Victoria Park; and goodness (oniy knows what other contraptions. I We have not a word to say against the admirable provision al ready made in the parks for the sedentary games suitable to coun- cillors and others; but we want to keep some parts of the parks for their original purposes. And we draw the line at marquees on Yie- toria Parlcl Let us preserve some Sense of dignity. No one protested very loudly about the Figure Eight, I the Roundabouts, and the Penny Gaffs; for it was a case of war charity covering a host of dislikes. We are sure, however, that no one cared to see the park devoted to this sort of thing; and had the circum- stances been any other than what they were, there would have fteftV I many objections. 3Ir. Dan J ernes was able to stifle one or two of the new projects, but the marquee iden. went tb-rough, So, unless the pub- lice kick hard enough, the disfigure- ment of the park is going to be in- creased by the erection of some- thing that will prompt every passer in the train to inquire what circus is visiting Swansea.

<& TALES OF THE CHANNEL. A SUBMARINE HUNT. An Adventure Upon Our Ooast By George Long. [The writer was a pre-war member of the Cambria Daily Leader" staff, and is returning to us upon demobilisation] A dark night, not a light showing as the patrol-boac steamed a;ong at a com- fortable twelve knets. And t.his is St. George's Channel, not so very long since. Lookouts strained their eyes in the en- doovour to pierce the iiikly blackness, as the nights of war were not, even when the Hun submarine was not about, very conducive to safety, and collisions were many. Yet the ceasel ess vigil had to be kept, for a wireless message from The Admiral ashore had ticked out in code a position when a U-boat bad been sighted some houro before. It was a quarter of an hour to eight bells, and the first watchmen had visions maybe of how such a night might be spent in a fo-ur-postei instead of the four hours in a hammock which would shortly be their lot. But the monotony was brokcSi, and all such shattered in-the next minute A FLASH. -I A flash on the starboard beam with what seemed a thunderous report in the still darkness, closely followed by about five others, and life sprang into being on the boat. The captain rushed from the chart house, but his advent had been al. ready prepared for by the sharp orclor from the officer of the watch,; U Full speed both. hard a port." Criin ports were drcepped, stokors appeared as though by magic with yards of hose ready for emer- gences.. Wardroom stewards, messmen and other non-combative ratings hastily passed up ammunition from the maga-1 zines—but all to no purpoee, for about a twenty-minuto run brought a small schooner, aadily damaged, into view. But ouo of her three masts were scan ding, that bearing but a few rage of canvas, j torn by a shell. And the Hun had sub- merged-after another example of liia frigh tf ulnees. The writer, a Swansea boy, was on board The patrol, and perhaps could give a better account of the subsequent settle- ment of issues with tho cowardly foe by speaking in the past tense. FLOATING SPARS. Une of the many drifters in the vicinity was sonn on the spot, attracted by the gunfire, and the crew-of the schooner—one badly inj ured-were taken aboard just before the stni cken ship took her laet plunge. We then resumed the patrol, passing funtiuually to and fro over the scene of ihe attack. Daylight came eventually, and with it a. pathetic sight of floating epeurs—all that was left at the night's ailair. A SA I L I Six o'clock and again gunfire, this trfme many milet a way. The signalman locked through his glass, and reported a small sail just over the horizon on the port bow. Again the turbines trembled and roared as they worked to their utmost capacity. A.gain the ship's oompany went to act-ion stations-, and a very short period elapsed before we were very close to another sohoone-r practically on her side. The crew were in the only boait, but the cap- tain still stood by .the tiller, ae though hoping agroinst bopg chat she wouLd right herself. Over Jjhere yelled out one of the crew makipl frantic gestures ahead of ue in pointing out the direction in irhich 6he submarine had goaew We went on. but saw nothing However, the captain dropped three depth charges in case øh. should be linking in the vicinity, bint no result was forthcoming, and we returned to the stricken vassal to take aboard the survivors, who were all luckily untouched. Another drifter was short!y^fcerward« sighted, and they were transferred to her. eventually being taken into lLiliord Haven. And we, in accordance with the orders that were in the captain^ pocket, too k up our watch once more, very in-uoh dis- haftrtencd at not being able to come into I cloae contact with the enemy. "THERE SHE ISI DO But yet another move with the U-boat wa3 to be ow lot before we returned to our bpoe ior the short rest time allowed. All the hours following Fritz kept low while daylight lasted, and eight o'clock in the evening, just aa the first watchmen were relieving, saw us cruising about right under the glare of the ———- Lighthouse. The sky was clear, and the moon ftll, so that visibility extended to some miloe. An hour had passed when the signalman on the bridge suddenly raised the telescope to his eye, and a few seconds afterwards uttered the pioat- ing cry: There she is, sir, on the port bow in the moonlight I" Three pushes on the alarm button had the desired effect of getting aU the men to their staftdons within* a minute; and we steered at, 4igh speed straight for the submarine. "STAND BY TO RAM I II Hold fire," shouted the ca.ptam down the gun voice pipes. Stand by to ram." We all clung to the nearest arm object in preparation for the jar as we etruok the submarine--but it was not to be. A noticeable alteration of course took place juat before the ooxwain announced that the heim had jammed, and before it could be riirhted wa found m11"AA\V- mil. ning fmos t the salao WUTOO as tho enemy.

TINPLATE WORKERS' BONUS.
TINPLATE WORKERS' BONUS. I To the Editor. f Sir,—With reference to the Concilia- tion Board respecting tinplate workers' wages, in the interest of peace it was well that the men's leaders deferred the mat- ter. The demand was for 40 per cent. in- crease on the present bonus, and the masters offered about 15 per eent. ad- vance. The-present purchasing power of a sovereign is about Ss.; therefore there is 12s. wanted, or 150 per cent. advance. To come up" to pre-war standard, we are c,utitlq to 150 pea- ofent. war bonus; the highest bonus to-day stands at 95 per eent. It is high time Qur leaders should take a leif from the book of the railwayman and miners' leaders, and to display a little more grit. The masters have made huge pronto, but many of us have had to be content with irregular employment, with the sovereign reduoed to &s.-You-.s, etc., A Millman. To the Editor. I Sir.-As a tinhouseinan of over 30 years' i experience, I venture to assert that the I employers have never before offered suely j effrontery td' our leaders as in suggesting I au extra 15 per cent, to the present war I bonus. The bonus now paid on the prD- I ings of an experienced tinman is 70 per cent. Should he, by extra strain and sweat, happen to be so fortunate (or is it unfortunate?) as to earn a little more than £3 during the week, then his pre- cious bonus is reduced to 55 per cent, or even 45 per cent. on his increased make. Our demand is one uniform rate of bonus on all. wages, and we blame our tcadera. that they have not better rejected our views and temper before the em- ployers.- Tours, etc..
