They would agree that invention and discovery were the key - notes of our time . Emphasis was laid upon what man could do , what his brain could evolve , his might and his power .

Enoch , E. King , C. Turner , with the Executive Officer ( Mr. W. T. Sale ) . The Chairman said the business that even- ing was to fix the retail price of butter . Various towns had fixed various prices . The only thing they had to guide them was the amount the wholesaler was allowed to charge the retailer . Mr. Enoch said that if they fixed the price of butter much lower than the maximum they might find that people would send their but- ter to Birmingham where the price was higher and they would not get any butter here . Councillor Southall inquired what the whole- sale price was , and the Clerk replied that it was 228s . per 112lbs . 5d . , was in one a year ago on the Somme .

In trying to avoid them he was thrown from his machine and sustained a broken leg . Help was soon forthcoming and after his injury had been attended to by Dr. W. Ll . Davies , of Llanid- loes , he was brought to Leominster by motor- car . The injury to his leg progressed favour ably , but whilst confined to bed he had vari- ous attacks of pleurisy and pneumonia . On Thursday evening last he appeared much bet- ter , talked cheerfully and had a good night . Mr. Preece passed away suddenly at 9 a.m. on Friday morning , the cause being heart failure . The news came as a great shock to the town , most people being unaware that Mr Preece's condition was serious and deep sym- pathy is felt for his wife and little son Maund .

Superintendent had received a telephone mes- sage from Mr. Wadsworth , solicitor , of Here- ford , stating that he was starting by motor- car to attend the inquest on behalf of an acci- dent insurance company . He ( the Coroner ) learned that morning that deceased was in- sured against accident and he therefore sug- gested that the agent should be communicated with so that the company could be repre- sented at the inquest if they wished . Mr. Wadsworth asked the Superintendent if the inquiry could be delayed in case he was a few minutes late . Dealing with the facts the Coroner said that he learned that the deceased . was on his way home from Aberystwyth on September 6th when he met with an accident , running into the sheep . He was by himself at the time and they would have to rely upon the statements he made to those around him . He made statements to the doctor and also to Mrs. Preece , but he did not propose calling either of them until Mr. Wadsworth arrived .

Mr. Enoch pointed out that the District Council dealt to a large extent with people who produced butter . Councillor Southall asked if they were go ing to make one fixed price for all kinds . If so the retailer would make big profits on some kinds of butter . It was pointed out that according to the schedule on the table there were quite 40 dif- ferent kinds of butter .
