PARISH COUNCIL'S EFFORT TO GET ALLOTMENTS . SOLICITORS ' LETTERS . " NO PADDOCKS FOR POLITICAL BUSYBODIES . ' A meeting of the Pembridge Parish Coun- cil was held on Monday evening , when there were present : Mr. J. Kinsey ( in the chair ) , Mr. W. Russell , Mr. T. Russell , Mr. W. Good- win , Mr. J. Pinches , Mr. W. A. Williams and the Clerk ( Mr. C. Lane ) .. At a previous meeting of the Council it was decided to ask Messrs . Humfrys and Symonds if they were willing to renew the lease of Moseley Croft which the Parish Council has held as allotments for 20 years . At a subse- quent meeting a letter from Messrs . Humfrys and Symonds was read stating that they con- sidered the allotments should be cultivated by Spade labour and not kept as paddocks . The Council felt that Moseley Croft was not suit- able for such a purpose and accordingly wrote sking whether they could rent a piece of ar- able land near the village either in addition or in place of Moseley Croft .

OF The following extract is reproduced in the Horticultural Advertiser and is taken from The American Nurseryman . Some of us have in the past thought our over - sea friends too closely wedded to the pursuit of the dollar , but if , as we are convinced it does , the ex- tract speaks from the heart of the people , we have done them scanty justice . On Friday afternoon last the wounded , sol- diers from the Red Cross Convalescent Hos pital at Corton , Presteign , were invited to tea at the School House by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis and family . The weather was gloriously fine for such an afternoon's outing and this added greatly to the enjoyment of the men . The party to the number of twelve , in charge of Nurse Lower , were conveyed by motor and trap . On arrival all sat down to a good tea , their wants being seen to by Mrs. Lewis , Mrs. T. C. Olyott , Miss M. Sparey , Mrs. Fuller , The Inspector ( Mr. Evan Lewis ) reported Mrs. Bulstrode and Mrs. Jones . After tea the the following cases of notifiable disease : Two men grouped under the shade of the trees and of tuberculosis , ten of measles and one indulged in smoking , playing cards and other erysipelas . amusements , after which an open air concert was arranged , some capital songs being given by the men and friends . During the evening the Rector and Miss Hanbury visited and chatted with the soldiers , wishing them a speedy recovery from their wounds . Soon after Monday ; Before His Honour Judge A.

His Honour said he would like to hear the LEOMINSTER RURAL DISTRICT TRIBUNAL . of " For three years past we have been draw- ing to ourselves a stream of wealth greater than any people ever received before . The rest of the world was being drained dry , starved thin , and bled white ; but we waxed richer and richer . This has been called filthy lucre , undeserved affluence .

If they were engaged in agriculture what could they do ? If the War Agricultural Committee could over - ride any decision of theirs what was the use of discussing the cases ? The Clerk said he thought they should deal with each case on its merits . BARLEY SCONES . The Official Receiver ( Mr. Scobie ) , stated months and it had been adjourned from time that his report had been on the file for 12 to time to meet the convenience of the debtor who was a temporary Captain in the A.V.C.

Our collection is that when Moseley was let to the Parish Council it was arable and it was serted that there was a great demand for llotments in Pembridge , but when you got the piece of land no one cared to have it and it was let to three persons as paddocks , certainly ot the purpose for which land to be taken for allotments was intended , and we should ke to have some assurance that this land is wanted for use by labourers and that class of people and not merely to provide convenient paddocks for two or three political busy- There was a large attendance on Sunday bodies at Pembridge .

When Moseley Field was asked for it was on the representation that it was wanted for allotments and we were under the impres- sion that it was an arable field , but if not it was understood that it would be ploughed up and used as allotments chiefly by spade labour by labouring men and had we known that there was no demand for such allotments we do not believe the late Mr. Bowle Evans would have sanctioned letting to the Parish Council for an entirely different purpose . Anyhow we are certainly not disposed to advise Colonel Bowle Evans to let Moseley Field and another piece of land to the Parish Council and we do not think he will be much disposed to renew the lease of Moseley Paddock unless he could have some evidence that it is to be strictly . used as allotments and not as paddocks . Any- how , if we are to find another piece of land for allotments Moseley Field will have to be given up and before we go into that we should like a list of the men who want allotments and to find something out about them , as we have never heard of any demand for allotments at Pembridge .
