An effort had been made to get a new building for ths free library and these schools. He regretted that that effort was unsuccessful, especially as Cardiff was now about carrjing out such a scheme. The committee had secured new preni^es in tbe Albert,hall Chambers, and that coat £ZOO to furriah. He paid a tribute to thg memory of Mr. Nelson Hewertaon, who had eo kindly bequeathed a sum of money to these echcola and now, through the kindness of Mrs. Hewertson, the sum of £1,427 103 had been paid into the National Provincial Bank of Erg'and to the oredit of the sohools.
