At a meeting of the Fire Brigade Committee on August 29th the expenses in connection with the fire at Brierley on the 5th , amounting to 8 145. , wore investigated , passed , ordered to be paid and repayment obtained from the insurance companies . The expenses at Newton on the 13th amounted to The Com 103 9s . 8d . and these were passed . mittee informed Mr. Bradford that they were pre- pared to deal with him fairly regard to the increased cost of horses and asked him to state his views . The Committee considered the question of the firemen's remuneration and the following increases were granted : Captain , call and first five hours , from 10s . to 175. 6d .; firemen , from 6s . to 10s .; Captain , per hour from 1s . 6d . to 2s .; tire- men from 9d . to Is . The Town Clerk reported that Chief Constable with re- he had written to the gard to the ringing of the fire bell at night and was referred by him to the competent military authority . The Town Clerk reported that , he had since had message through the Superintendent that they were sorry they could not relax the rule . EL The bell must not be rung after nine o'clock and it was suggested they should make some other ar- rangement . The report was adopted .. The Town Clerk said the Sanitary Inspector had received a letter from the Sanitary Inspector's Association stating that the Conciliation and Arbi- tration Board appointed by the Government had awarded an increased war bonus . On the proposition of the Mayor , seconded by Councillor Southall , the letter was referred to the Finance Committee .. , A SOLDIER'S THANKS . The Town Clerk reported the receipt of a letter from Driver Pullen expressing many thanks for being motored from Leominster " to Bromyard on Sunday . These letters , he remarked , were often received by the Mayor . MORE PIGS WANTED . BUT NO FOOD AVAILABLE . more The Mayor said there were one or two matters to which he wished to call the attention of the Council . In the first place an appeal was made to Corporations to encourage pig keeping . He Soldier's life . for them these men would be unprovided for . He quite agreed with Alderman Gosling , but what were these men to do in the meantime . They could not ignore the fact that the State had done more for the disabled in this war than ever be- fore . The State had done a good deal to help the situation , but it had not come up to the expecta- tions of everyone . In the meantime they wou'd not be doing right to put any damper on efforts of Mr. Hodge the Alderman Gosling said he did not wish to put any damper on Mr. Hodge's efforts , but he did feel inclined sometimes to speak his mind and tell these M.P's . not to think so amuch about cliques and sections , but to think about the sol- diers , without whom there would be no M.P's . Councillor Biddle said the State might be doing more than before , but when was there a war lie this ? They could not compel the State , but they could suggest to the State and why not send a resolution from that meeting ? Munition workers were getting big money , but if Tommy was lucky . enough to get off with his life he was dependent upon charity . L LOCAL DISCHARGED MEN . The Mayor referring to the local branch of dis- charged soldiers said that Mr. FitzHerbert Wright , the President , had laid it down that it was not a charitable organisation , but a society to help discharged men . They were not out for charity , but they had already been able to afford help by way of loans . He did not see how he could go and ask for another Committee to be set up . Councillor Southall said he was of opinion that in this particular district the question could be dealt with by the Discharged Soldiers ' Society . It appeared to him that one of the main objects of the fund was to afford help to men who had been in business . The number of soldiers who would be affected in the district of Leominster would be strictly limited , whereas the number of men who would come under the discharged soldiers ' society would be very much greater . If they started to collect money for the central fund they might come off second best in this district . Every support should be given to the society of which the Mayor was Chairman . That society was incapable of doing a great deal of good in sup plementing the much too small assistance given by the State . He did not like the suggestion of charity and he was pleased that there was no suggestion of charity in the local discharged soldiers ' society . He hoped that society would re- ceive every support . they to Councillor Molyneux said that a lot of men who had gone from the district would want to be re- established in the holdings which they had give up . said The Mayor were taking steps to bring down Captain FitzHerbert Wright to open the society's premises at Leominster and then a full statement of the facts would be made nub'ic . Councillor Williams said he thought local sol- diers and sailors would be benefitted if they con- tributed to the central authority . He did not think they would find the money in the local societies to purchase small holdings for disabled men and also find the money to enable a man to re - start his business and if they did not take part in the King's Fund he was afraid they might close or partially close the door to the local men it was intended to benefit . They would never get enough money in this district to buy land . had received a lettr from Major Firmstone , of the " The Board of Agriculture , in which he said : question upon which I should like to discover the opinion of the Council is the desirability of stimulating pig the district by production in establishing ( in the case of large towns ) munici- pal piggeries and ( in small towns ) pig clubs and pig associations . Corporations to run as many breeding sows as possible , preferably on waste land , woodlands , orchards , etc. , and smallholders , allotment holders , etc. , receive preferential treatment in the matter of the purchase of stores from the Corporation piggeries . The collection of edible waste or next meeting of the vegetable offal is also greatest importance . " to The Mayor said that with this letter were sent leaflets on the subject . He did not see what the Corporation could do and he proposed the follow- ing resolution : " That the leaflets with regard to pig keeping be allowed to lie on the table unti ' such time as millers ' offals are available and are of such quality and sold at such prices that pigs can be fed without loss to say nothing of a re- munerative or profitable return . " It was a wel ' known fact that owing to the wretched condition of the food , which was sold at high prices , pig keeping was He had lost pigs . not profitab'e . himself through giving them the rubbish had to buy . Councillor Southall seconded and said he hd been told by many people that if they had to buy the necessary food there would be a considerable loss . they Councillor E. Molyneux said that from his own knowledge he could corroborate what the Mayor said about the stuff that was being offered as pig food . His son nearly killed nine pigs in this way . The Mayor : I lost several of a litter of valuable Gloucester Spots . Councillor Molyneux said that as regards feeding pigs he defied anyone to feed pigs on the offal they were now getting from the millers . It was quite right that the attention of the authorities should be called to the state of affairs if they wanted pig production to be encouraged . The resolution was carried . KING'S FUND FOR THE DISABLED . Com- A PROTEST AGAINST " CHARITY . " The Mayor brought forward the question of Mr. John the King's Fund for the Disabled . Hodge wrote asking the Mayor to form a mittee to receive subscriptions in the town , and for the information of the Committee a long statement was sent . It was pointed out that this fund was distinct and separate from the pension fund . The Mayor went on to refer to the efforts that were being made for the local branch . of the Federation Discharged and Demobilised Soldiers and Sailors and put forward a resolution suggesting that the two causes would overlap and that the work should be undertaken by the War Pensions Committee . state I was an Alderman Page said the King's Fund altogether different thing to the War Pensions Committee which was appointed to decide what pensions should be paid to the men . , This fund was started by the King with a subscription of three million £ 78,000 and Mr. Hodge wanted pounds . The object was very different to the pen- sions ; it was intended to start disabled men in sonfe business which would enable them to , carn their living . Such a fund should be worked sep- arately from the War Pensions Committee , which had no power to grant men money to start in account . business on their own Councillor Southall said he thought this work than to would apply more to the large towns places like Leominster . Councillor Molyneux said that Mr. Hodge wanted three million pounds and he wanted every town to contribute . A WRONG PRINCIPLE . like Alderman Gosling said it passed his comprehen- sion why things of that description were not paid out of imperial taxation . These men were giving the best years of their lives at a beggarly stipend , were nothing their separation allowances what they should be . It struck him that instead of relying upon voluntary subscriptions it should be the absolute duty of the nation to see that these men were thoroughly provided for . These If a men had been disabled in the service of their country and the country should help them . they sent round for subscriptions the same gener- ous people would pay again , and there were whole host of people who thought if they gave a guinea they were parting with their immortal treat soul . The principle was entirely wrong . He firmly believed that these things on behalf of brave fel- lows should be paid for by the country ; the their country should and pay liberally widows more liberally . It was a beggarly thing the way they treated their soldiers and sailors , to have to go round asking for subscriptions for men without whose services they would not exist Why , we as a nation . Three million pounds ! If they were , spending seven millions a day . raised 30 millions for these men they would not be doing more than their duty . Councillor Williams : Hear , hear ! I quite agree with Alderman Gosling . Councillor Molyneux asked what in the mean- time the poor disabled men were to do . So long as the State was not in a position to do this and would not be for some years to come , these men had to depend on charity and charitable people ( " Shame " ) . It was the fact and they must faee Councillor Southall said there was a lot in what Councillor Williams said . He suggested that no resolution should be passed until the next meet- ing . In the meantime the Committee of the local Society would have considered the matter , and more enquiries wou'd have been made . It was agreed to adjourn the matter until the BRITISH AMERICAN FELLOWSHIP . WILL NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE ENTERTAIN AMERICAN SOLDIERS ? The Mayor proceeded to mention correspondence which he had had with the British American Fellowship , a Society working under the Min- stry of Information , with the object of providing hospitality for American soldiers who are on leave or convalescent . The Mayor said that what they were asked to do was to appoint a small Com- mittee to receive offers of local hospitality . The Fellowship was meeting with a ready response in all parts of the country . Councillor Southall said that such a scheme was an admirable way of taking advantage of the present crisis to cement the friendship and Co- operation of the Anglo - Saxon race throughout the world . The future peace and prosperity of the world depended upon securing the friendship and confidence of the American nation and no better way could be devised for securing this than by entertaining the men of the United States Army . The Mayor said that what was being done was for each district to " adopt " a town of similar size in the United States . Councillor Southall said , that the scheme would be more successful if they could obtain the CO- operation of the rural district . The presence of munition workers limited the accommodation the town , while in the rural district there were rumerous houses with spare rooms . in The Mayor went on to . read a letter from Mr. J. C. M. Vaughan , Hon . Secretary of the Hereford Committee , which has undertaken to entertain 50 soldiers per week , asking if Leominster was not doing anything on similar lines , whether hospi- tality could be promised for six per week in farm houses around Leominster . The Mayor said this was a thing which should appeal to people . The majority of Americans when on leave were home- less and the hospitality would not only be a graceful act , but a real kindness . Councillor Hyslop agreed , pointing to the con- nection which Herefordshire had with America in the Hereford cattle trade . He was sure the members of the Hereford Herd Book Society would wish to assist . Councillor Southall said they ought to consult the farmers who might be in touch with certain districts in America . Some of the American soldiers might be delighted to have the opportunity of coming to this district . He suggested that the Mayor should take action in the matter in conjunction with the Chairman of the Rural Dist- rict Council . This was agreed to . NUT SHELLS AND FRUIT STONES . The Mayor mentioned that he had received a letter from Major McDonald in regard to the expenses of a Part Time Labour Committee , which , however , at a former meeting it was not thought necessary to appoint . In connection with the same subject he had received communications . in regard to the collection of fruit stones and nut shells for the production of charcoal , which when used in anti - gas masks , gives very much greater known substance .

Mr. Levick addressing the Bench said defendant was under wrong impression that the highway was the metalled portion of the road . A lot of timber was being hauled and not wishing to take the carriage back to Stoke he left it , taking the precaution of drawing it right off the road . He thought he was entitled to do that . The Clerk ( Mr. C. E. A. Moore ) pointed out that the highway included the whole of the ground en- closed by the hedges and not merely the metalled road . The PTE . J.

The Grain Prices Order , which came into force on September 1st , is disappointing in that the price of wheat is not higher . lenient Last year it was 75s . per 504 lb. The new price is 75s . 6d . , rising to 76s . in January and 76s . 6d . in April . The price of barley , 67s . per 448 lb. , is , 2s . per quarter better than last seasons ' , but there is no higher price allowed for malting barley .

Charles J. Powell , farmer , Houghton Farm , Bodenham , was summoned for driving a trap without a light on August 12th . Defendant did not appear , being busy with the harvest . August P.C.

Witness asked him if he was aware he should be carrying a lamp . He said he was not aware of the law . The horse that was loose was a colt he was breaking in . The Bench imposed a fine of 2s . 6d . UNPOSTED REGISTER . THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT . John Humphries , The Brook Farm , Yarpole , was summoned for failing on August 12th to have posted up a statement in respect of William Smith , an employee over 16 years of age , contrary to Regulation 41a of the Defence of the Realm Regulations .

She said they had one workman , William Smith . When asked about the register she said she saw it a few days ago . She looked for it and then asked him to call again as her daughter was out . said he must see it , and Mrs. Humphries said she saw it on the front room table a few days before . Mrs. Humphries said their own man had gone to the war . The man concerned was a soldier . Some of the Magistrates think that seemed to He in the case of a soldier workman it was not neces- sary to notify the recruiting authorities . Eventually the case was dismissed and defendant warned to be more careful in future . sum- APPLICATION BY SOLDIER'S WIFE . Ernest Reynolds , labourer , Risbury , was moned by Alice Everall , married woman , Turning- ways , Risbury , to show cause , etc. in respect of her male child born in June . Mr. Levick appeared for the complainant . Defendant did not appear , and service of sum mons on the 15th inst . was proved by P.C. James , who said that defendant told him he should ap- pear and engage a solicitor . Mr. Levick said that the complainant was Mrs. Alice Everall , Turningways , Risbury , wife of Lance - Corporal George Oliver Everall , Royal En- gineers , and the defendant was Ernest Reynolds ( otherwise Walters ) , a labourer , working at the New House Farm , Risbury . The complainant was delivered of a male child on June 11th , 1918. The husband , Lance - Corporal Everall , was a soldier and left this country on January 20th , 1916 , for Egypt and he did not return until June 6th , 1918 , on account of that case . It was perfectly clear that between January , 1916 and June , 1918 , the husband had no access to his wife . Complainant seemed to have known defendant before they came to live in Herefordshire . In September , 1917 , de- fendant was intimate with her and frequently came to visit her at her cottage and sometimes morning . stayed until three and four in the When Lance - Corporal Everall came home they con- sulted him and he wrote defendant on July 12th .. He wrote again on July 19th , but they neither saw nor heard anything from him . He would ask for an order after they had heard the evidence of Mrs. Everall and her daughter and would ask for the maximum amount of 5s . per week . The Clerk said there must be independent ev dence of the non - access of the husband . Mrs. Everall said her husband was not at home . He did not come because she thought it was best for him not to . Mr. Levick said he fully expected the husband to attend that morning . The case was accordingly adjourned for a fort- night . our soldiers any an other than protection receive It was decided to advertise the need for this material and that the should Surveyor contributions and forward them to ment authorities . the Govern- CHARGE OF FALSE PRETENCES AT ROSS . At Ross , on Monday , James Ivor N. Maddocks , giving an address at Barry , and stated to be tra ing as a sanitary engineer , & c . , was brought up in custody from Worcester charged with obtaining by false pretences two cheques of £ 16 5s . each from Messrs . Peachey Bros. , builders , Wilton , Ross , and Mr. John Williams , farmer , Allensmore , Here- ford . It was alleged that the accused advertised " 130 sheets of secondhand corrugated iron sheetings for sale , " and after prosecutors had communicated with Maddocks , who said he would put the goods free on rail if cheques for £ 16 5s . were sent , the cheques were Neither the zinc nor forwarded . the receipts for the money were sent , but the cheques were honoured by the complainants ' bankers . Inspector R. H. Thomas , of the Glamorgan County Police , Barry Dock , said prisoner was not in a position to supply the zinc . Prisoner , who said he had been in Worcester for two montas , stated that he would have re turned the money had he been at home . He was committed for trial at the Hereford it . If they could not compel the State to provide Quarter Sessions . In dealing ap is with the wheat the authorities pear to have had the fixed price of the subsidised loaf in mind , while the flat rate for barley probably a concession to the teetotalers , who con- tended that the best barley should go for food rather than be reserved for beer . The oat prices will be considered the most satis- factory from the farmers ' point of view , viz . , 47s . 6d . , rising to 48s . in October , 49s . in December , 50s . in February , 51s . in April and 51s . 6d . in May , with 52s . 6d . for June and the remaining months of the cereal year . The oat crop is a very heavy one . Most of the land ploughed up under orders from the Execu- tive was cropped with oats , and the result gener ally was good . In case of best quality oats purchased for oat- meal or other oat products the maximum price may be exceeded to the extent of 3s . per arter . In the case of all grain the seller is entitled to an additional 1s . per quarter where it is carried without railway , transport to mill or factory for purpose of manufacture . The Cereals ( Restriction ) Order should be care- fully studied by those who have wheat , rye , bar- ley , or dredge corn either fit or unfit for human or certificate being re consumption , a license , quired to enable a producer to feed these to ani mals , if unfit for human consumption . Leaflets giving full instructions may be had en application . LOCAL REGISTRATION COURTS . CASES OF CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS AT LEOMINSTER . Mr. J. R. Symonds , Registration Officer , recent'y visited different parts of the division to hear claims . of and objections to votes on the new register electors .

We regret to record the loss of a well - known figure in Leominster and the public work of the county in Alderman Richard Woodhouse . who passed away on Wednesday at his residence in Etnam Street , at the age of 77 . Alderman Woodhouse was able to say recently that he had completed 50 years of public work in the county , and by his keen interest in local Government matters and long experience , there were few who had such a wide knowledge of poor law and highway work . He was a son of the late Mr. Richard Woodhouse , of Newhampton , and was born on October 3rd , 1841. On 5th of Feb- ruary , 1867 , he married Elizabeth Jane Bowen , of West Street , Leominster , and thus he celebrated his golden wedding on February 5th , 1917. He first entered public life in 1886 when he became a guardian in the Bromyard Union . Six years later he became a Leominster guardian and at the same time a way warden . His association with the work of the Council dates from 1004 when he was elected to represent Docklow and Kimbolton Division , defeating the sitting member . Mr. H. S. Williams , by 40 odd votes . He ear y proved himself an able Councillor and carried out his duties in a manner which earned for him the respect of his fellow councillors and the ratepayers . He was raised to the County Aldermanic bench in January , 1915. He served on the Roads and Bridges Committee where ne was a most usefu member , a'so tre Diseases of Animals Committee , the Asylum Committee , the Education Committee ( and three sub - committees thereof ) , the Finance Committee , the Weights and Measures Committee . and various sub - committees . He was a member of the old Highway Board , being elected to that body during the Chairmanship of the late Mr. Bonham Caldwell , who Mr. succeeded by Watson , of Endale , Mr. Joseph Coates , of Eyton , and Mr. R. W. Hall .. Mr. Woodhouse was then appointed Chairman and held office for six years until the Board came to an end by the creation of the Rural District Council , of which Mr. William Price , of Bodenham , was the first chairman . In the following year when the latter was defeated at the polls , Mr. Woodhouse was elected to preside . He declined re - election holding the view that the honours should go round so that other members might show their capacity for office . Mr. G. F. Colebatch took his place and after several years was succeeded by Mr. R. W. Hall . Mr. George Butters following him for a period of three years and Mr. J. Bazley succeeding him in 1913. As a member of the Board of Guardians Mr. Woodhouse has seen a great deal of service . When first elected vice chairman he held office for one years and would probably have been promoted but in consequence of eye trouble he found it necessary to retire from active public work for a time . Subsequently he was again appointed vice chair- man . In 1906 he was appointed a land tax com- missioner In 1912 he retired from farming and residence took up his in Leominster , his soff Thus Richard succeeding him at Newhampton . the name of Richard Woodhouse has persisted in for connection with the parish of Newhampton 106 years , and the present occupier has also a son of the same name . was 3 LCE .
