TYTHEGSTONE HIGHER PARISH COUNCIL. A meeting of the above Council was held in Cefncribbwr schoolroom on Monday last. There was a full attendance of members present, Mr Wm. Lewis chairman of the Council, presiding, and Mr Rees Rees occupying the vice-chair. The first business on the agenda was the appoint- ment of clerk to the Council. Mr William Rees, assistant-overseer, was appointed until next annual meeting, Mr Rees leaving in the hands of the Council the question of remuneration. A point arose as to the chairman's term of office, when a lively discussion took place between Mr D. H. Price and Mr George Rees, the latter holding that it lasted to April, 1896, the former to April next. The rarties appealed to the Chairman, who gave his decision in favour of Mr Price. The Council then went on to consider various questions affecting the parish, and a committee was appointed to examine and report at the next meeting the condition of the school road, and Quarry Footpath, Kenfig Hill. Notice of motion was given by Mr George Rees as to the state of Tyisha Well, Cefncribbwr, to be brought forward at next meeting. It was proposed by the Chairman that all parochial electors be admitted to the Council at future meetings. This was seconded by Mr Price, and carried unanimously. The next meeting will be held in Bryndu school- room, on Monday, the 24th January.

A GREAT WANT.
A GREAT WANT. SOME months prior to the last election, we took occasion in these columns to call atten- tion to the great necessity of providing at Bridgend a public library worthy the name, By the time the election came round, one or two of the more progressive and wide-awake candidates were bold and outspoken enough to include a free library in their pro- grammes; but alas they fell, never to rise again till the next election arrives. No one, however, would be so short-sighted or so foolish as to construe their defeat as being indicative of the electors' disapproval of the principle underlying the Free Libraries Act. In point of fact, it is doubtful whether the question went further than the election addresses of the aforesaid one or two candi- dates. We are inclined to believe that the matter was not included among the "potent factors that contributed to the result of the election in. any degree whatever. The electors seem to have though more of the personnel of the aspirants who solicited their suffrages, than of any broad questions of policy or polemics. Nor is this the only indictment that can be brought against the electors' indifference to the fundamental principles of local government, and their embracing of the visionory "ufhe solid reasons manifesto. But we are not now concerned with the past. What is done cannot be undone; and it is useless to lament over what might have been, when what might have been is not. What then of the future ? We look instinctively to our newly-installed leaders to take the initiative and lead the way. It would not involve much labour or expense to take a plebiscite -i.e., test the feeling of the ratepayers in respect to their advocacy of, or their hostility to, J the adoption, of the Free Libraries Act. At the present time, when the cause of popular education is advancing with such unprecedented leaps and bounds in Wales, it is astonishing that a town of the size and growing importance or Bridgend is not possessed of what one might call a decent library. The great mass of the people, in- deed, have not a reading room to repair to "üfIt"'iJ,. u"¡ in their leisure time, and the consequence is that they loll away their spare hours either in the public-houses or in loitering idleness. It behoves our public men, if they have a spark of humanitarian feelin,- in them, to bestir themselves and find sit some means whereby there shall be afro. ^he toiling masses a reasonable opporti for indulg- ing that self-culture, the yeavnmg for which is one of the salient characteristics of the age. We fancy that strangers coming into Bridgend must be struck with the lethargy of the place in this direction and, having regard for the fast growth of the town, it behoves men of light and leading to step in- to the breach and provide a long-felt want. Books are boon companions, and oft-times mgfcild men's characters and open men's minds and it is incumbent upon us to place popular literature within the reach of all. At present, however, the masses of Bridgend have to rest content with their Reynolds, Tit-Bits and such like ephemeral writings. Give then such masterpieces as J. W. Barrie's "Little Minister." R. L. Stevenson's "Kid- napped," and the transcendent productions of our Hardys' and Kingsleys' and Maartens' —and 'twill be a miracle if their minds be not polished and enriched, and themselves elevated.
