A special meeting of the Kington Urban District Council was held on Monday last , when there were present : Mr. W. H. Banks ( Chairman ) , Rev. H. E. H. Probyn , Messrs . H. G. Hughes , W. Griffiths , J. Thomas , C. Price , T. H. Coleman , S. Geaussent , F. T. Roper , W. B. Lloyd , and J. R. Swindells ( Clerk ) , The meeting was called to discuss the ques- tion of ploughing up a part of the Recreation Ground for allotment gardens , and on the pro- position of Mr. Roper , seconded by Mr. Hughes , it was decided to fence off and divide into allotments a plot of land about one acre , running from Swains Mill to the Tennis Court . A letter was also read from Mr. Percy Owens , of Hergest Court , offering 5 acres of land on his farm for potato planting by the inhabitants of Kington . The conditions were that he would supply artificial manures , that there must be a fixed day for planting , cleaning and raising , the cleaning to be properly done ; that he would prepare the ground , cover the potatoes and mould them after cleaning ; that the money is to be paid at planting time , and that applications to be sent in by April 1st ; the rows to be from 180 to 200 yards long . Mr. Owen's offer was accepted with thanks , and the Clerk was directed to issue bills that potato ground was available , also that seed could be obtained from Messrs . J. and P. Tur- ner , Arrow Lodge Mills , Kington . PROTEST MEETING . શ Following the decision that the Urban Dist- rict Council had decided to plough up part of the Recreation Ground for allotments , a public meeting was held at the Literary In stitute on Tuesday evening to protest against this being done . There was a good company present and Mr. Stephen Geaussent was voted to the chair . He said he was the only mem- ber at the Council meeting on Monday who He objected to the ground being ploughed . considered the ground was quite unsuitable for potatoes and there was plenty of other ground to be had without sttrting to break up the Recreation Ground . There still appears to be some doubt as to the position of people under the Hoarding Order , who have purchased pigs or portions of Mr. E. S. Morris said he should like to a carcase for salting . Last week we published know whether the Council had been requested an opinion by the Divisional Food Commis- by any Government Department to plough up sioner to the effect that such people would this land , also whether anyone knew whether certainly be liable to prosecution under the the character of the soil in the Recreation Order .
