THE Llangollen Urban Council had a big batch of business before them at their last meeting, and they seem to have disposed of it in a remarkably characteristic fashion, by relegating most of it to the sweet oblivion of the committee rooms. Perhaps this is just as well as-any other way. Members will not in committee run the risk of allowing the ratepayers to know what their opinions are on matters of interest to the town. There is one question-that of baths or a bathing place-which we sincerely hope will survive the slow death of the committee I I room, and, if it is not too much to expect, will emerge in a well-thought-out scheme. As to the question of erecting a pavilion, we can re-echo the words of Mr. Darlington, that the Courcil has quite sufficient on its hands already. The demand for a perpetual supply of water must be met and the scheme of drainage, which has long received the advantage of the Council's delibera- tion, with little or no result, must be brought to some issue. These urgent and necessary reforms must be seen to before any luxuries in the way of attractions can be entertained. For these addi- tional attractions it is only reasonable that we should turn to the private speculator, and although it is always most desirable that the com- munity should provide pleasures as well as neces- saries for itself, still in cases of need the individual speculator should be encouraged. Llangollen, we should imagine, opens out a golden field for any syndicate to speculate upon, and we should hail with satisfaction any enterprise shown in this- direction. In the meantime, would it be too much to ask the Council to seriously undertake the consideration of those questions which can no longer be deferred ? + WHEN is the Urban Council going to take the town into its confidence over the water dispute with Captain Best? We respectfully submit that the Urban Council, directly responsible as they are to the town, have no right to treat such an important question as this in camera. We under- stand that negotiations have taken place recently between the Council and Captain Best, through the medium of Mr. Darlington, with a view of knowing each other's position, and, if possible, of coming to an amicable agreement. Has anything been done? Where does the fault lie? Who is responsible for blocking the way to a settlement ? We know the pulse of the town in this matter, and we know that an amicable settlement drawn up on a basis suggested by an eminent engineer will be very welcome to all concerned. The crying need is for water, and a regular supply of it. and the most direct way of getting it would be to have an engineer to report, and then to follow his advice whatever it be. In the mean- while we regard it as an insult to the town that the Council should treat it in the way it does. The town has a right to demand knowledge of what its representatives are doing, and "to go into committee is the way of such as are afraid of their own opinions.

LOCAL AND DISTRICT. We are compelled, owing to pressure on our space, to with-hold Rural Notes and Jottings until next week. At Corwen Board of Guardians, on Friday, Dr. D. R. Jones was elected chairman, on the motion of Mr. Richard Jones, Brvneglwvs. senonfjed hv Mr. J. ■jft,—Jinan n i)1 fiii11 11 -*—■r^*l~ 11 Pugh, resigned.

The Loyal Chirk Castle Lodge of I.O.O.F." held their anniversary and feast on Monday' At mid-day a procession was formed and marshalled and the members attired in their regalia and headed by the banner and the Rhos Maelor prize brass band visited various residences in the vicinity and subsequently returned to the Britannia Inn, Yroncyssylltau, where a substantial spread was provided by Mrs. Williams in a spacious marquoe in an adjoining field. Afterwards amusements were enjoyed and dancing was indulged in to the strain of the Rhos band which discoursed some splendid music under the able conductorship of Bandmaster Chas. Bennett. The lodge is in a very flourishing condition, the total value being over £ 098 last December, being an increase over the previous year of £ 11 12s. lid. The secretarial duties are in the hands of Mr. Richard Williams (adults branch), and Mr. Chas. Hanson (juvenile branch). The funds of the juvenile branch have also increased, the present balance in hand being £ 53 8s. lid.

Hobley, Bangor-is-y-coed. The service at the Dr. Pritchard Memorial Chapel, on Sunday, was rendered more attractive than usual by the excellent singing of Mr. Arthur Daviea of Cefn Mawr, who contributed two sacred songs to the service. Mr. Davies sang Jesu, lover of my soul with great tenderness of expression and strength and purity of voice, and towards the close of the service he gave Mr. D. Pughe Evans's Leiicl, kindly light," a rendering which gained for him most ardent admiration, so steeped was it in the sacred sentiment of Newman's noble hymn. Miss Lloyd Jones accompanied with great skill and taste. The Rev. Henry Rees preached an eloquent sermon.
