Sankey , a unanimous vote of condolencé and sympathy with the family was passed . respect of the person , and therefore the funds of the Committee suffered . In addition the doctor would not receive any payment in respect of the person . Unfortunately the Clerk failed in many cases to obtain the index slip , and then he made out what was known as a suspense slip , but those slips were kept separately and were not included in the ordin- ary lists . The doctors as a result were not aware of it , and they attended the persons under the impression that they were on the lists and they were being paid for them , but they were not . In July last there were 26,540 persons on the doctor's lists in Herefordshire , and there were 3,357 suspense slips in the suspense register , so that there was rather more than 12 per cent . of the persons on the suspense list . Let them consider what that meant in money . For every person who was on the suspense register a year the Committee lost a sum of 9s . , so that the total loss was € 1,500 and the loss for the last three years would have been £ 4,500 . It was an annual re- curring loss and there was no information be- fore them that the number was not increasing . From the doctor's point of view he ( Dr. Wil- liams ) had 62 persons on his suspense list , and that represented to him a loss in three years of £ 60 . Personally he did not suspense his patients or the loss would have been greater . He contended that these figures revealed a deplorable state of affairs . He would not be satisfied unless there was a definite promise given that steps would be taken forthwith to reduce the number . The Clerk ought to have given this information to the Committee long ago , but it had been withheld from them and from the doctors , and the soreness and irrita- tion which had existed between the Clerk and the doctors was attributable to that fact . It was hopeless to expect the Act to work smoothly , in the county if this source of irri- tation was allowed to continue . He had no doubt the excuse would be that it was owing to the war but it was evident that a dilatory and unbusiness - like state of affairs existed previously to that . Dr. Steele , in seconding tlie resolution , re- served his remarks until later . The Secret Of a happy experience with your Footwear lies in your choice of the perfect article .

There was no doubt the suspense list was , larger that it ought to be , but the fact that the number had not been reduced was very largely owing to the war . The Com- mittee possibly committed an error of judg- ment in not appealing for any of their eligible clerks , all of whom were allowed to join the colours , and they had had great difficulty in dealing with the work ever since .

It must be remembered also that other counties also had a large number of persons on their sus- pense registers , and it did not therefore affect the income of the Committee to any great extent , and it did not affect at all the dis- tribution of money to the individual doctors . At the same time he agreed the number ought to be kept down to the lowest possible limits .

Alderman Farr also expressed his regret at clear same . the remarks made concerning the Clerk . Mr. Southall said perhaps he had been a little indiscreet and spoken more strongly than was justified but he had spoken on the facts as he understood them . Dr. Williams said he had attacked the Chairman as much as the Clerk . After further discussion the resolution was generally agreed to and the Clerk was instruc- ted to report quarterly the number of persons on the suspense , register , the number which had been received and the number which had been removed . Dr. Steele said it was due to the evasive answers which the Clerk had given to his answers . The Chairman said it would be impossible to reduce the number until they had secured additional clerical assistance .. DISTRICT NOTES . At Hereford Cattle Market ou ALLPAPERS from 4d . per roll .

Mr. Southall : It is obvious that the less people there are on the suspense register the more money we should get from the Commis- sioners . The Chairman killed his own argu- ment that it is due to the war absolutely , register about six months before the war was 7,000 , and that since the war it has been steadily reduced . In an agricultural centre like Herefordshire the facilities for reducing the number are far greater than in counties which have large urban populations .
