he Boss Gazette . THURSDAY , JULY 30th , 1916 . LOCAL TOPIOS . number of attractions provided for Holiday give our readers ample choice ay even cause some difficulty in making etion of the one to be favoured by thein ace . The . Regatta , as usual , will at a very large crowd , and a perusal of dvertisement in another column will that the enterprising committee have o Joon hole for ennui to creep in , as avoidable intervals between races will led nn hr ingenious competitions and us entertaining amusements . There is a long list of entries that the races he run with the least possible delay in to complete the programme before We can assure any who are in doubt where to spend Bank Holiday , that will find excitement and amusement zh on the banks of the Wye on Mon- to please the most fastidions pleasure- . r Oss will have the honour of entertaining am from the premier cricket club of and on Monday and Tuesday next . In annals of the Ross Club extending back period of over 50 years , there has never a match that has created more interest ocal cricket circles . We expect to see e a large crowd of spectators . for during tically the whole of the season visitors . always welcome to watch the matches , hat now a small charge is being made , will have an opportunity of show- their appreciation of the club's bitality in the past . The names of the ers appear in our cricket notes , and it be seen that Ross will be ahly represent- against a team which includes many ahle exponents of the game . Stumps The drawn early on Monday to allow vers and spectators time to witness the ls at the Regatta . The Prospect has been the cause of serious ting in the past , but we are sure that na test can he raised against the decision of Urban District Council to make a few rer beds and generally to fulfil the duty Sosed upon them by the deed of gift of eping the ground in good order . The y nature of the surroundings , and the toric associations with John Kyrle make . impossible for the Prospect to be used for y other purpose than a peaceful " walking nce . " in which the culture of flowers is ite in keeping with the ideals of the nerous donor . The r men Croquet Tournament , ranged by the South Herefordshire Lawn mnis and hoonet Club , has rapidly gained man place amongst the fixtures that patronized enthusiastic followers of Amongst the competitors next onth will be Miss Coote , the gold medal- t for the venr , and many well - known srers from all parts of the country . Dur- the croquet week , the beautifully kept ronnds in the Wilton road are thrown open the public . a small charge heing made for mission , and no doubt many residents and sitors will gladly avail themselves of the aportunity . The Ross Secondary School is not proving . e white elephant that some pessimists pre- cted , for the Urban Council has to find aly a rate of twopence this year , instead of hreepence . This is very gratifying to rate- " avers , and a statement was made at the ouncil meeting that with a few more pupils earn further Government grants , this sum ould be halved . The school offers an ex- ptionally good education at very moderate es , and the Chairman's appeal for more pport should meet with a satisfactory re- onse from those who desire that their chil- ren should rec the undoubted benefits fered . The vexed question of lighting the town as again heen thoroughly thrashed out by he Erhan Council . The committee's report ates that the adontion of an automatic ontrol for lighting the lamps would lead to saving in expense . After some discussion , was decided that hefore going to the ex- ense of fitting auto - gaslighters to the 172 treet lamps , that both the gas and electric ight companies he invited to tender in ac- ordance with the Surveyor's specification , or the maintenance of the present lamps , t a price per lamp , for three years . Any aving that can he made without lowering he present very satisfactory standard of ighting will he most welcome . The question of the re - opening to traffic f the old coach road at the Lea is not to he llowed to rest by the Ross Rural Council , who have now appointed a committee to draw up a report to be sent to the County Council . On the present road are several exceedingly dangerous corners , and with the great increase of fast traffic it is becoming very day more essential that something hould he done to improve matters . In other counties a great deal has been done n the way of straightening and improving the roads , and Herefordshire ought not to old hack , especially as industries are very few , and the influx of visitors is a real boon to the trade of the county . We are afraid . hat although taking the county through he road surfaces compare very favourably with most counties , yet the tortnous and ften dangerous character of our roads leaves auch to he desired .

The RELIEVING OFFICERS reported that they had relieved 237 poor persons dur- ing the fortnight at a cost of £ 54 78. 8d .. and that with non - resident relief amounted to £ 55 56 . FINANCE REPORT . Mr. COOPER presented the Finance re- port , which showed a balance at the bank of £ 587 28. 5d .. less unpresented cheques of £ 4 11s . 6d . , leaving £ 582 10s . 11d . The Board required that morning £ 323 48 , 4d . to meet their current liabilities , which , when discharged , would still leave a credit balance of £ 259 6s . 7d . The unpaid calls dne came to £ 850 , and when those were settled the total credit on the right side would be £ 1,109 6. 7d . He ( Mr. Cooper ) proposed the adoption of the report . Mr. DEAKIN seconded , and it was carried . Mr. MORGAN : But why should we give this night nurse £ 89 per annum , which was more than they paid the head nurse or even the matron ? Mr. DAY said it was generally an under- . stood thing to support the recommendation of a committee after they had gone thor- oughly into these things , and he would pro- pose that they accept the committee's re- commendations . What was the good of their appointing committees if they did not sup- port them ( hear , hear ) . Mr. BLAKE said the committee went very thoroughly into this question , and as Mr. Preece had said they had the support of the doctor , who said very clearly that they must have a night nurse . The require- ments of the Local Government Board , it appeared , also stipulated that these old people must have somebody with them dur- ing the last few hours before passing from time into eternity . He thought that was a very wise provision . They were given the names Guardians , and they were to be the Guardians of the poor as well as the Guard- ians of the rates , and he did think they as a Board ought to grant the assistance of a night nurse . Mr. MURDOCH inquired whether this would mean the appointment of a permanent nurse . The CLERK said it would not be a per- manent nurse . Mr. CHILD said the whole question was gone into a month ago . The report , as presented by the commit- tee , was agreed to unanimously . Mr. POWER said he thought a hearty vote of thanks was due to the Committee for the time and trouble they had spent in going into this matter ( hear , hear ) . Mr. BLAKE : I should like to second that . Mr. MURDOCH : But you are one of them ( laughter ) . WAR DECLARED BY AUSTRIA .

MEETING AT HILL COURT . The first Herefordshire ( Bow meeting of the season was held , by kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Trafford , at Hill Court . on Thursday last . Below is a list of the prize- HOUSE COMMITTEE'S REPORT . Mr. CHILD , in giving the report of the House Committee , said they had inspected the stores , and found all satisfactory . An inspection had also been made of the Mas- ter's bathroom , and they had approved of the suggestion of the Master to renovate the same by house labour , and to put in a lava- tory basin . The Medical Officer's report with regard to the bath chair for the in- mates was considered , and Mr. Child under- took to find the necessary fund to purchase the chair . The Master produced a state- ment as to the cost of the meat consumed in the institution , from which it appeared that the cost per head was higher under the present system of supply than formerly , and the committee recommended that the Con- tract Committee should be instructed to take the whole question into consideration . 1 , The Master reported that flowers had been received from the Rector of Ross , and from Mr. Prevost , and a cake from Miss Southall.ed for the Board to thank Mr. Child for for the inmates , not that he wished to thank The reports of the Matron , Chaplain , and kindly promising to provide the bath chair considered satisfactory .

He ( the speaker ) came away from Ireland feeling quite certain that even if Sir Edward Carson left them the people would not give way , but they would continue their movement , knowing they were almost certain to get their way if they persisted . It seemed to him very striking and remarkable that a certain number of Unionists who had not published their names had arranged to send deputations from all constituencies of England over to Ulster and , Ireland , to see for themselves what sort of ROSS DISPENSARY AND COTTAGE Visitors were laid before the committee , and if they wished , to the Nationalist quarters of demand there really was for Home Rule .

They had been able to send four gentlemen from that constitu- ency , all of whom , he thought , would claim and he believed claimed still - to be Radi- cals . All those four gentlemen , who were Radicals and ardent Home Rulers before they went to Ireland , came back convinced of the merit of the claim of Ulster and of the impossibility of enforcing Home Rule upon them ( applause ) . If the Home Rule case was such a good one , why did not the Liberal party in England do the same thing and organise deputations of Unionists from very constituency and send them over to Ireland to see if they could make them re- turn Home Rulers ( laughter ) .
