THE WAR SAVINGS SCHEME . THE BIGGEST GROCERS IN THE WORLD- TEA COFFEE . GROCERIES A special meeting of the Leominster Town Council was held on Tuesday morning , when there were present : The Mayor ( Alderman II . Gosling ) , Alderman George Page , Coun- llors E. Molyneux , J. Moss , J. J. Biddle , J. H. Hyslop , H. Reynolds , J. B. Dowding , with the Town Clerk ( Mr. W. T. Sale ) . MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT . The Medical Officer ( Dr. R. Williams ) pre- sented the following report dated February th After the meeting yesterday in com- pany with Mr. Budd , I visited No. 1 , Bridge Street , owner Mr. Paxton , of the Brewery , occupied by W. A. Jones ; and 14 , New Street , owner Mr. F. C. Blomer , occupied by Phill- pot . I condemn both houses as unfit for habi- tation and ask you to close them forthwith . Councillor Southall said the facts seemed perfectly clear . It was one of those cases where the landlords were only too eager that the Corporation should make the order and thus facilitate the fulfilment of their duty in putting those houses in habitable condition . There was a certain number of tenants , only a small residium , who did not seem to be able to keep any dwelling house in decent condi- tion , and the conditions in these two houses as reported by the Inspector were nothing less than abominable . He moved the following resolution That it having appeared to this authority that the two houses referred to are PROVISIONS new 18 years and attended fairly regularly . Im- Lieutenant in reference to the command of mediately a case was brought before the his Majesty the King as to the organisation committee it was most carefully considered of the Volunteer Force , and asking the Mayor and if it was sent to the Bench what was the to take steps by holding public meetings to result ? Eventually it ended in nothing and bring the urgency of the matter before those the people went on in the same way . The able to help . The Mayor said that most of result was that the teachers had these children them would have read the King's call to the coming to school dirty . The teachers had no Volunteers and would know what the power to take any action so they simply sent them home . The children were summoned then they went to school again in the same condition . It was a kind of battle - dore and shuttle - cock between the Bench , the School and the Attendance Committee . In the inter- est of the other children some means should be adopted to improve matters . He felt that it was most unfortunate that they had not got to the stage that someone was appointed to attend the school to see that the children were clean before they went into school . It was a disgrace to the town and he felt in rather an awkward position on the Bench recently , that a thing of this sort should have been allowed in Leominster . Councillor Reynolds supported the remarks of the previous speakers . at what he had heard at the meetings of the He was appalled Committee . He had no idea that the town was in such a state . He did not think they should blame the Inspector . They would never do any good until they had a woman inspector . It was not an enviable job but it was a job that would have to be done . They would have to get some woman appointed to inspect the children . It was not fair to FEBRUARY 17 , 1917 . LEOMINSTER RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL . £ 1,600 INVESTED IN THE WAR LOAN The monthly meeting of the Leominster Rural District Council was held on Friday last when there were present . Mr. T. Edwards ( in the chain , Messrs . H. Langford , G. Butters , L. Evans , B. C. Ridgley , J. Robinson , J. Roberts , H. R. Hall , J. M. P. Cave , R. Bemand , D. L. Jenkins , W. Evans with the Clerk ( Mr. Gosling ) the Deputy Clerk ( Mr. Gibson ) , the Medical Officer ( Dr. R. Williams ) , the Surveyor ( Mr. W. O. Davies ) , and the Inspector ( Mr. D .W . Cave ) . The Clerk reported the receipt from the County Council of a cheque for £ 100 5s .. representing the annual grant in respect of the salaries of the Medical Officer and Inspector : A circular letter was read from the Local Government Board suggesting various ways in which local authorities might render valuable aid in connection with the War Loan . One of these was the investment of revenue balances which were near future . not likely to be required in the The Deputy Clerk said the question arose as to whether they would invest any portion of . their balance . The Chairman said he saw that other district councils were doing it . The Deputy Clerk said that Tenbury had done so . in . Mr. Ridgley asked how much they could put The Deputy Clerk said he thought they would be quite safe in investing £ 1,000 Mr. Langford said they should put every copper they could spare into the War Loan . The Deputy Clerk said their balance at present was £ 2,592 . Mr. Langford suggested the investment of £ 2,000 and Mr. Ridgley was in favour of £ 1.500 . The Deputy Clerk referring to Mr. Jang- ford's proposal pointed out that they wer not yet at the end of the year and there were liabilities to meet . The Surveyor said his requirements would be £ 500 or £ 600 at the outside . Mr. Butters proposed that £ 1,500 be invested . Mr. Ridgely seconded and it was carried .. The Deputy Clerk pointed out that the price of the stock was 95. He therefore wondered if they would purchase £ 1,600 worth which would cost £ 1,520 . This was agreed to . NATIONAL SERVICE . The Clerk read a circular letter from the Local Government Board appealing for the assistance of local authorities under the National Service Scheme . The Chairman remarked that in rural districts they had no men to spare . No action was taken . THE OATS CONTRACT . A letter was read from Mr. Eve ( Controller of Cultivated Land Areas ) in reference to the contacts for growing oats in 1917 and asking that it should be made known to the members . Mr. Langford said this was a matter for the War Agricultural Committee to look after . Mr. Butters said it came before the Com- mittee the other day . He was afraid a great number of these officials knew very little about agriculture . sent knew ve The Chairman said he had a circular him some time ago asking him to go round the parish to see if farmers would like help in ploughing . He went round the parish and the farmers wished to have nothing to do with it . Mr. Ridgley said he had the same experience . The Chairman said he had no encouragement and he did not feel inclined to take this on . Mr. Cave said that what with the shortness of labour and the season they could not do more than they were . Mr. Butters said that if a man a lunatic for he would get nothing . broke up regulations were . Instead of the old regula- tions , which were not sufficient in his opinion to make a man a competent soldier , recruits were now expected to put in 14 drills per month until they became efficient , when they were asked to do to drills per month . The fresh land to plant oats he would say he was Volunteers were now under military law and addition they were to have sergeants from the regulars to drill them . He had been asked by Captain Drennan to call a public meeting and he mentioned the matter in order poration on that occasion . that he might have the support of the Cor- NATIONAL , SERVICE . The Town Clerk said that with regard to the circular which he mentioned at the last meet- ing as only applying to districts of over 10,000 , a further letter had been received asking the Council to suggest a gentleman who would act as local commissioner . The matter was left with the Mayor . WAR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE . THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT . 1918 . last meeting . The Surveyor in his report stated that he submitted his estimates , for the maintenance of district roads for the year ending March 31 , They were in bulk as directed at the The amount was a few pounds greater than last year's estimate , but it was exceedingly doubtful if the labour or materials could be obtained to expend this amount . Council drawing attention to the bad state of A letter was read from Little Hereford Parish the road on Tenbury road to Bleathwood . railway bank leading off the This was be tween the bed of stone put on last year and the railway boundary post , and the Parish Council considered it dangerous . The Surveyor said the railway company had not repaired about 10 yards of road which they should have done . He would see what could be done .
