HOUSING SCHEME NOT WANTED . HOW THE SHORTAGE COULD BE MET . The monthly meeting of Weobley Rural District Council was held on Monday , Mr. W. T. Cooke presided . wall , Bart . , Col. P. L. Clowes , C.B. , the Rev. There were also present Sir John Cotterell , Bart . , Sir Geoffrey Corne- H. B. D. Marshall , the Rev. W. Marshall , Mr. T. E. Williams , Mr. H. L. Harvey , with the Clerk ( Mr. W. H. Grout ) . do in regard to the Local Government Board The Clerk inquired what the Council would circular read at the last meeting , asking for a return from the Council in regard to housing and announcing that financial assistance would housing schemes at the close of the war which be given to authorities willing to carry out were approved by the Board . Col. Clowes said the country could not rely upon the enterprise of private owners . Private owners did not get the least encouragement to build cottages . When they did so the value of the cottage was taken as part of their income and was added for income tax , super- of cottages was not sufficient to yield a fair tax and eventually for death - duties . The rent return on their cost . They were built at a loss and inhabited at a loss . Sir John Cotterell said that under that , scheme people would be taxed in order to provide these cottages and let them at a loss . Col Clowes asked who the cottages would belong to . d who the cot Sir John Cotterell said the Government would take their land and having taxed them , build the cottages and put them under the local authority . It was a big subject . He did not think there was any place in the dis- trict that wanted a regular housing scheme . A couple of cottages might be wanted here and there . Mr. Williams said he hoped the Council would not give much encouragement to that scheme . It seemed to him that the very most that need be done was for cottages to be provided by the authorities , for the police , the postmen , roadmen , and railway men . Landlords could be trusted to provide sufficient cottages for the farmers in order to let their farms well . He did not think as a district authority they wanted to build cottages out of public money in order to entice people to come down and live in the country cheaper than in the town . Probably that would be the net result of carrying out that idea in a broad way if it was put before them . He moved that the papers be returned with the following resolution : " That in the opinion of this Council , provided the post office , police , rail- way and other public authorities concerned housing scheme is required and further dis- supply their employees with houses , no other approves of the use of public money for the erection of houses let at less than an economic rent . " let at less than Sir John Cotterell said he did not think they could deny that there would be a scarcity , of houses after the war . on He therefore moved the following resolution as an amendment : " That in the opinion of the Council no such housing scheme as suggested in the recent circular of the Local Government Board is necessary or suitable for the district and al- though , like many districts , there is some scarcity of cottages in certain localities , the supply would be more nearly adequate to the public authorities and railway companies com- pelled to find accommodation for their own employees .

The first essential quality in an aeroplane is reliability and every maker strives to maintain this ideal in all his manufactures . The lengthy list of our " Air Heroes " denotes a confidence in the reliability of their machines which made those brilliant deeds possible . In reply the District Surveyor said he had been hindered by the men being off haymaking . It appeared to him ( Sir John ) that the Surveyor had let all the men off hay making and had done nothing to the potholes . The Surveyor said it was true he had been hindered by the lack of labour but during the last few months the greatest drawback had been the weather . He had done some of the pot holes but they did not make a good job if personally and told him that as soon as good done in the wet . He had seen Mr. Jack weather came he would do it . It Sir John Cotterell moved that they instruct the Surveyor to attend to the potholes .. would mean enormous expense to them in the future if they did not see to it now . The resolution was carried .
