LORD RHONDDA'S DIRECTIONS TO MASTERS OF HOUNDS . The Secretary to the Food Controller has recently forwarded to Lord Leconfield ( chair- man of the Masters of Foxhounds ' Association ) a letter giving directions for the rationing of certain hunt horses . In the course of the letter the Secretary writes : " I am directed by Lord Rhondda to inform you that licenses have now been issued to Masters , or Secre- taries , of Foxhounds who have made applica- tion , to enable them to ration certain hunt horses with oats under Clause I of the Horses ( Rationing ) Order , 1917 . " It will be found that the number , which includes all horses concerned with the paces i.e. , those of Masters , Secretaries , and hunt staffs , is as a rule smaller than that applied for . " I am to point out that the reason of this diminution is that at present hunting is not to be looked on as a sport , but simply as an aid to the supply of fit remounts for the Army . As your Secretary has been notified , it must be understood that hunters are not rationed as hunters , but simply in the light of available Army remounts kept in condition by their owners . " It will therefore be incumbent on Masters of Hounds to satisfy themselves that no horses receive rations as hunters that are in any way unfit for Army purposes . " LEOMINSTER BOROUGH LOCAL TRIBUNAL . EXEMPTED MEN AND DRILL . A meeting of the Local Tribunal for Leo- minster Borough was held on Wednesday even- ing , when there were present : The Deputy Mayor ( Councillor J. Watkins ) , Alderman George Page , Mr. T. D. Burlton , Mr. George Reynolds , with Mr. C. O. Mapp ( acting Clerk ) , and the Military Representative ( Commander A. J. Windebank ) . Lieut . W. M. Ellwood , commanding the Leo- minster Company of the Herefordshire Volun- teer Regiment , brought to the notice of the Tribunal the drills of exempted men . Some of these were not satisfactory and in some cases men had failed to enrol as asked to . It was decided to write to the men con- cerned and remind them of the condition of their exemption , namely , that they enrol in Section " B " of the Company and drill to the satisfaction of the Commanding Officer . The following cases were heard : - L. C. Hands ( 34 ) , political agent , passed in B 2 , appealed for exemption on condition that he undertook work of national importance in the Food Production Department , London . The Advisory Committee agreed with the applica- tion , which was granted by the Tribunal . Harold Marchant ( 40 ) , draper , Broad Street . The Advisory Committee recommended temporary exemption to November 30th . The Tribunal agreed . Price Thomas Owens ( 39 ) , market gardener , South Street , stated that he had grown 2 acres of potatoes , tomatoes and other food . - Tempor- ary exemption to November 30th was granted . William Frederick Arthur Thorne ( 31 ) , married , passed C 2 , engineer mechanic , em- ployed by the Leominster Laundry . Previously rejected three times . Mr. J. B. Dowding on behalf of the Laun- dry Company said they could not carry on the business without the man . He was in the Army before the war and was discharged as imedically unfit . Temporary exemption to November 30th was granted , and it was intimated that a further application would probably not be entertained . William T. Poole ( 31 ) , manager of the local branch of the London and Central Meat Com pany , passed C 1 . Commander Windebank suggested that the new meat orders would eliminate a good deal of competition . The district manager stated that they were awaiting a schedule of prices from the Board of Trade , when prices would no doubt be re- duced . The Tribunal granted temporary exemption to November 30th Alfred George Lucas ( 32 ) , single , plumber and gasfitter , 27 , Etnam Street , appealed for exemption to undertake work of national im- portance ( munitions ) . Applicant stated that he endeavoured to enlist in April , 1916 , but was rejected . Mr. Levick said applicant was engaged in a midland city working as a fitter on aeroplanes . He was formerly rejected and was now passed B 2 . It was agreed to give exemption provided a suitable certificate is produced . J. Holloway ( 40 ) , single , smallholder , with 27 acres of land , passed in Class C 1. - Tempor- ary exemption to November 30th .. William Newman ( 35 ) , married , market gar- dener , Newtown , passed B 1.

The Tribunal did not assent , and suggested that he could apply to the War Agricultural Committee or to the County Appeal Tribunal .

Edward Reece Davis , Bull Hotel , said de- fendant came to his house three times that day . He refused him the last twice because he thought the defendant had had a drop too much to drink . Defendant was very excitable . Superintendent Perry said at about 9 o'clock on the night in question he saw defendant and 10lbs . on 1st November .

The Bench ordered defendant to pay and there would be no conviction . LIGHTING ORDER . 48 .

Councillor Southall said there was another important matter which required to be dealt with more promptly . He did not know if the Town Clerk had had a circular respecting meat , but it appeared that it was the duty of the Committee before Monday , September 3rd , to undertake what seemed to be a difficult task and that was to price all the various joints . The Town Clerk said the Order had not yet been received . with the question of appointing advisory com- Councillor Southall said they should deal mittees of grocers and butchers . That was part of his resolution at the Council . They They could not decide as to meat without a wanted a separate Committee for each trade . until they received the Order , but they knew committee of butchers . That could remain they would have to deal with the grocers . He moved that the Executive Officer bie asked to write to the senior grocer in Mr. T. W.

Councillor Southall said he agreed , but he would not limit them . which was carried . Councillor Watkins seconded the resolution , BARONS CROSS NUISANCE . Continuing , Councillor Southall said he had received another letter from Mr. Gittens res- pecting the alleged nuisance at Barons Cross . He had visited the place several times with the Surveyor and Medical Officer and he would be glad if the Councillors would go and view it for themselves . Councillor Biddle said he thought the Sur- veyor had instructions to deal with it . Councillor Southall That is all very well , but it is a difficult matter to deal with . The Chairman suggested that it was a matter for the Chairman of the Committee ( Mr. Southall ) to call a meeting of the Sanitary Committee on the spot . In replying to Councillor Southall the Sur- said there was no danger to health and road for years . it was not so bad as it had been on the main veyor The resolution was carried . FOOD CONTROL . Councillor Gough said he would like to ask the Chairman of the Food Control Committee if they were going to advertise the steps to be taken in regard to sugar tickets . They would give plenty of notice . The Town Clerk said they had no forms yet . Councillor Gough pointed out that retailers must register between September 6th and 15th and many country people would not know what would it be left for the grocers to let their to do . Would the Committee advertise or customers know ? would be sent the Committee and as soon as The Chairman said that sufficient posters they came would be posted in the town . Councillor Southall said it should be made clear that the Committee of which Ald . Page Officer , included only Leominster Borough and was Chairman , and Mr. Sale was Executive the Out - Parish . There was a separate Com- mittee for Leominster Rural District , the Ex- ecutive Officer being Mr. Gibson and the offices Mr. Gosling's office in West Street . the public should know that there was ample grocers could be left to make application but time for them to take the necessary steps . The Councillor Gough said , there were many small traders in the town and they did not know The discussion then dropped . CRICKET . Councillor Molyneux said they should thank Councillor Southall for having taken the case of diphtheria in hand . With regard to the nuisance at Barons Cross , there appeared to have been dilatoriness . The Committee should be called together and the matter settled . The Chairman said he thought the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee acted very well in ST .

Councillor Southall seconded , but remarked that they had moved rather late . In another fortnight the difficulty would be disposed of for this year . Councillor Watkins : You would want an Act of Parliament to do this .

The Chairman said the shop assistants would not be very pleased to hear of the pro- posal . The resolution fell through , there being no seconder . Councillor Southall suggested that if the Town Clerk received an order in regard to meat he be authorised to ask Mr. Yapp to form an advisory Committee of butchers if that course was rendered desirable before the next Councillor Watkins meeting of the Committee .

The Councillor Southall said this matter was in the hands of Mr. Dowding , Officer of the local Exchange . He had pushed the matter very strenuously and if anything was done it would be due to his action . Mr. Marshall , M.P. , was the officer in charge of the billetting arrange- ments and he appointed the committee . only question was whether the . Government would run a train morning and evening . The demand for labour was astonishing and the need was urgent . There was however great prejudice in the town and they told Mr. Marshall that it would be difficult to get people to believe anything would be done . They pointed out that owing to the premature action taken by the authorities there had been so many false alarms and the public had got quite callous . It Some people spent a considerable amount of money in furnishing hostels . should go forth that this was the first time there had really been any absolutely official intelligence on the matter . He took it that the munition people had now decided to run a train . Councillor Dowding : I hope so . Councillor Southall pointed out that Coun- cillor Dowding only " hoped so , " and he would therefore advise people to do nothing until they heard something definite . Councillor Molyneux said he would not ad- vise anyone to spend a penny on the present prospect of anything being done ...
