PARISH COUNCIL . A Parish Council Meeting was held on Sat- urday , Mr. Pugh presiding . The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed , and the annual Parish Meeting then took place . The minutes of last year were read and confirmed and the Chairman called upon the Clerk to read the balance sheet of the Charity Trustees . It was proposed and seconded that these accounts be passed . Mr. Ward proposed as an amendment that they should be referred back and read a volu- minous statement , which was practically the repetition of the previous year's objections . Mr. Ambrose Morgan pointed out that two years ago , when Mr. Ward was in the chair , he himself signed and passed the accounts of that year . Mr. Ward disputed this , but upon the minutes being produced and read he regretted that he had forgotten the circumstance . As the amendment was not seconded it f ll through , and the accounts were passed , it b ing explained that it was a mere matter of THE KINGTON TIMES . APRIL 7 , 1917 . TEACHERS ' SALARIES .

Mr. Pugh suggested that the time had come when the Parish should make application to the Charity Commissioners to utilise the large balance in hand on the Girls ' Endowment Fund and proposed that a small Committee should be formed to consider the matter .

Florence Mary Yates , daughter of the Re- lieving Officer , Bishops Froome , stated that she assisted her mother . When she saw Mrs. George on March 27th she made no allusion to the deceased Thomas Smith . She asked Mrs. George who was going to fetch the relief money for Nellie Smith . Had she asked for an order to admit deceased into the Union she would have given one at once . An order was given to the deceased to go into the Union on the 16th of July last , but he returned it as not used . Dr. Lewis stated that he attended deceased in the Bromyard Union some time ago when he was in as a casual for two or three days . Having examined the body he was of opinion that he died from failure of the heart accel- erated by lack of shelter . The Jury , of whom Mr. Charles Mantle was foreman , returned a verdict to this effect and agreed with the Coroner that there blame attaching to anyone , especially the Re- lieving Officer .
