PAROCHIAL MATTERS AT PONTYPRIDD. Parochial affairs in Pontypridd are assuming a very interesting aspect just now, and the pro- ceedings which took place at Thursday's meeting of the District Council will tend to still further public interest. The efforts of the overseers to obtain possession of the Vestry Hall have attracted much attention, and Uie decision of the Stipendiary, which will po?sib!y be given next next Wednesday, is being anxiously awaited in several quarters. Some time ago the District Council applied to the Local Government Board for the power to appoint the collector of poor raSes for the parish, which powur has hitherto been vested iu the guardians of the Union. At Thursday's meeting, however, they received a letter from the Local Government Board, the contents of which showed that certain parochial matters are at present in a rather muddled state. It stated that there was only one collector of poor i.ites legally in office ID the parish-viz., Mr W. who was entitled to act for tliatpart of the parish which was formerly in the parish of Llanwonno. The recent appointment of a collector for the parish by the guardians was, therefore, invalid, as there was no order in force under which the guardians could appoint a collector for the parish. The guardians have since applied to the Local Government Board to issue an order for the appointment of collector for the parish except so much thereof as lately formed part of the old parish of Llanwonno, The Council decided to reply to the Board renewing their application for the power to appoint a collector, which should certainly be in the hands of the town authority and not with guardians hailing from all parts of the union. This is a case of home rule pure aud simple, and the members of the Council sincerely trust that the Board will respond favourably to its application. They have also applied to the Central Board for the powers of the vestry already vested in Parish Councils, a proposal which was opposed by a majority of parishioners at a vestry held last February. Correspondence read at the Council meeting on Thursday from the Local Government Board showed that the meeting was chamcterised by the by the overseers as a p,teked one," and further, that the decisiou of the vestry was not consonant I with the feelings of a very large majority of the ratepayers. This is undoubtedly correct; and the Council decided to renew its application in this matter also. A strong case is likely to be made in its support by the members, who consider that the powers of the vestry should be in the hands of the public authority, and not in tho.ae of overseers who, unlike the Council, as the chairman forcibly put it. are not responsible to the ratepayers for their actions.
