! THE RECENT CENSUS AND THE…
THE RECENT CENSUS AND THE | WELSH LANGUAGE. WE fully concur with those Welsh patriots who are bold enough to assert that a com- plete muddle has been perpetrated by the census authorities so far as their method of testing the popularity of the Welsh language is concerned. The population of the Barry district, for instance, is largely composed of Welsh people Welsh people really who cannot speak any other language but their own-yet, it is a fact that not a single Welsh schedule was given to several enumerators A tor distribution amongst the inhabitants. Mr H. L. Jones, of Holton-road, Barry Dock, the registrar of births and deaths, had charge of the greater portion of the St. Nicholas Petty Sessional District in connection with the recent census. This district comprises the parishes of Barry, Cadoxton, Merthyr Dovan, Sully, St. Andrew's; Wenvoe, St. Nicholas, Porthkerry, Llancawfan, Peterstone- super-Ely, Penmark, Bonvilstrtfts,. St. Lytfoan's, Highlight, St. George's, Llanf^thm1,- Laver- nock, Llantrithyd, &c., an area representing a combined population of at least 50,000; yet, notwithstanding the fact that fully 20 per cent. of the inhabitants of the district named are more or less monoglot Welsh people, only 200 Welsh schedules were sup- plied for distribution therein, and when (as was the case in many instances) Welsh papers were asked for by heads of families, the reply which the, enumerators, in many cases, were instructed to give was that the entries could be given in Welsh in the English census paper. This reply, to our mind, was a ridiculously absnrd one-firsily, because every Welsh man and wosian had not only a moral but a legal right to demand a schedule printed in his or her mother tongue and, secondly, because, in a large number of instances, these Welshpeople (especially those living in the more rural and remote parts of the district) did not sufficiently understand English to be able to give the replies intelli- gently and satisfactorily. Why such a glaring anomaly, involving lingual issues so absurd and misleading, should be perpetrated upon the Welsh people of our district we are unable to understand, but we have already taken steps to communicate these facts to our representative in Parliament, Mr Arthur J. Williams, who, we feel sure, in the interests of so large a proportion of his constituents will take the necessary steps to bring the matter before the House of Commons in due course.
BARRY AND PORTHKERRY AS A…
BARRY AND PORTHKERRY AS A NEW WATERING PLACE. WE are given to understand that the whole of the land between the Ship Hotel, Barry, and the pebble beach beyond Coldknap has been secured by a powerful syndicate for the pur- pose of being laid out as a watering place. The roads are now being formed by Messrs Richards and Gethin, architects, Cardiff and Barry Dock, the surveyors and agents ap- pointed by the syndicate. The principal road will follow the general Tine of the shore, and will form a parade or promenade, lined on one side with semi-detached villas of pretty orna- mental designs and facing the sea. To make this locality as attractive as possible it is also intended to provide pleasure gardens and to plant pine trees on each side of the prome- nade, and as these trees grow very quickly in the course of a few years it is anticipated that this parade will become second to none in the kingdom. A boating club is now being formed at Barry, and will most likely have its locale in this neighbourhood. Want of space prohibits us at present from expatiating more fully upon this project, but we hope to be able to do so in an early future issue,
JOURNALISM EXTRAORDINARY.
JOURNALISM EXTRAORDINARY. A small four-page newspaper, published in the chief town of one of the western counties in South Wales, last week contained the following array of local news :—Two full-head reports, three leading paragraphs (one of which was a borrowed note from a Cardiff daily), and four news paragraphs, in addition to a few announcements of births and deaths. What would our readers say if the Barry Dock News made its appearance in the form of such a sub.ttti?ti(fl,perinywort]. as this ?
THE WASTE LAND 5 AR WESTON…
THE WASTE LAND 5 AR WESTON BRIDGE, CAD -;TON. Several months ago we suggested that the waste piece of land between the bottom of Vere-street and Weston Bridge, Cadoxton, should be converted into a convenient square for public purposes, and now that curbing and channelling is being laid around this spot by the Local Board, we think the present is a veiy convei^ttttittajgtunity for levelling th,; piece of grouna^Ttnn otherwise maKifig-« presentable to the eye. We hope one of the members of the Local Board will take up the matter, and see what can be done to make this sftot a becoming and attractive entrance to the town.
QUALITY OF THE LOCAL WATER…
QUALITY OF THE LOCAL WATER SUPPLY. We have this week taken independent steps towards obtaining reliable information as to whether the recent greenish discoloration of the public water supply in this district was, as alleged, a contamination, and we are pleased to be able to announce that such was not the case; and that the discoloured nature of the water was merely temporary, caused by harmless vegetable matter having found its way into one of the main services. We understand that the low level reservoir has been thoroughly cleaned and flushed this week, so that the company's supply of water is now as clean and pure as ever.
THE SHARES OF THE BARRY COMPANY.
THE SHARES OF THE BARRY COMPANY. A cOJ respondent in the iabt issue of the Cardiff Argmt in the course of an article on Local Railways and Railway Stocks, makes the following gratifying references to the shares and general position of the Barry Com- pany :—" The shared in no undertaking of the same descriptïow as that of the Barry Company ever ran ldpso quickly, and they are being sold at a price that no one, when the Act was obtained, ever- dreamed of. The only question, however, is this. Will this state of things last ? Will this phenomenal era of prosperity continue 1 The dock is a beautiful one, the railway is a. splendid piece of work, and I know of few better, bttt it is a mineral line, drawing its resources almost exclusively from the two Rhonddas."
---'--JUSTICES JUSTICE AT…
JUSTICES JUSTICE AT PENARTii, We have repeatedly been obliged to draW- public attention to the extraordinary severity of the sentences passed upon individuals who are unfortunate enough to make their appear ance at Penarth Police Court. A further example was added to the already painful list on Monday last, when a man, named Riley,, belonging to Penarth, was fined 23 for the trivial offence of stealing a small loaf of bread while under the influence of drinfc There- were two important extenuating circfiaafctanoes in this unfortunate man's favour firstly, he had never before been charged with theft, and, secondly, the bread was taken froms a truck which stood unprotected on the street, so-that the man, especially inebriated as he was,- wae actually tempted to take the bread through- the carelessness of the owner. Not- withstanding this the defendant was sent to prison in defajilt of paying such a heavy fine. We are really surprised at what appears to us to be the complete abuse of justice so fre- quently indulged in at the Penarth Court.

FORTHCOMING OPENING OF CADOXTON NEW SCHOOLS. Tiie splendid new board schools at Cadox- ton (which are an ornament to the town, and a credit to the Board, the architects, and the contractor) are rapidly approaching com- pletion, and we understand that at the fort- nightly meeting of the School Board, to be held on Monday afternoon next, the question <
