After All There is NOTHING quite so good as our POPULAR " VICTOR " CYCLES .

CENTRAL CYCLE WORKS , 35 , GLOUCESTER ROAD , tions to the Surveyor to lay this sewer at once . connecting the Broad - street sewer with the Kyrle - street one . Mr. MEREDITH inquired what this sewer would cost P The SURVEYOR : About £ 8 . The wages came to just over £ 5 . We had the materials by us . Mr. MEREDITH said he understood that all work costing over £ 5 should be referred to the whole Council . Mr. HALL said the committee were quite aware of that , but they had a number of complaints about this flooding , and the damage it did , and considering it a matter of great urgency , they had no alternative hut to do the work . They did not know and they did not know how soon some infec- tious disease might be started . through this flooding . They had the materials in hand , and the committee considered that the work should be done at once , as it only meant paving the wages . ROSS . Ross Rural District Council . THE DANGEROUS ROAD AT LEA . This authority met at Union Offices , Ross , on Thursday last , when Ald . T. Preece , J.P. ( Chairman ) presided . with Mr. J. Murdoch Capt . T. Raymond Symons , Mr. F.

There is no doubt that these are very dangerous corners , and the opening up of this old road will be a great benefit to the district . The CHAIRMAN said he certainly did not like to re - open a case before the County Council unless they had some reasonable or strong grounds for doing so . He thought they should probably appoint a committee Mr. Power's motion was then put to the vote , and carried , and the committee ap- pointed were the Chairman , Mr. Protheroe , Mr. Parr , Mr. Power , Mr. Evans , and Mr. Child . MOTOR SIGNS . Mr. ROBINSON drew the attention of the great need for a motor sign being plac ed by the side of the main road each side the approaches to Peterstow School . This was a very dangerous place with the school just off the road . The CHAIRMAN supported , and it was decided to make application to the County Council for the signs with the word School on . Mr. CHILD said it would be a good thing if some of the sign posts were removed and placed in more prominent positions . Some of these sign posts were absolutely useless as they were . He quite agreed with Mr. Robinson that a sign warning motorists that a school was there was needed at Petersłow . Mr. LEWIS said he was preparing a de- tailed partiulars as to the roadside sign posts . and he should be laying that before Mr. Jack in the course of a day or two . CLASSIFICATION OF ROADS . The CLERK read a letter from the Coun- ty Council with reference to the classifica- tion of roads , asking for a return as to the cost of the upkeep of the roads named per mile for the last three years , and other in- formation , as the committee engaged on this question were placed in rather a difficulty owing to the lack of uniformity in the re- ports sent in . The CHAIRMAN said this question arose at the last meeting of the Roads and Bridges Committee , and it was stated that the com- mittee was placed in a very difficult position through some of the returns given , and that was the reason why they now asked for the particulars as to the cost of the upkeep for the last three years . He would therefore propose that they give the returns asked for . Mr. MURDOCH seconded , and if was carried . HENTLAND ELECTION . Owing to the death of the late Mr. Gibson Fry . a vacancy had been caused in the parish of Hentland , which was a very important parish , and one that should be represented without delay , and the Clerk asked if the Council would order an election to fill the vacancy . This was agreed to . 1 DEBENHAM ] ROSS HARRIERS . CAPT . B W. B. KER , The New Master . [ Photo , Ross . Capt .

Ker , and that the South Here- fordshire Hunt would do its best to support Capt . Ker in the future . On behalf of the South Herefordshire Hunt , he wished , there- fore , to extend a most hearty welcome to Capt . Ker into the Ross country ( appaluse ) .

Then there was one other supporter who had passed away , and that was Mr. Harkness , of Weston .

Two tenders were received for the laying out and improvement of the Prospect , and on the figures being read out a long dis- cussion took place .

If a committee were formed they could inspect these places and frame as strong a report as possible , which could then be laid before the Roads and Bridges Committee .

SIR , I have made some enquiries and learn that about 50 salmon have been found dead from Hay to Hereford , a large number , but unstated , thence down to Ross , and about 50 from that point to the New Weir , since the river has fallen to summer level . This represents 150 fish dead , a greater num- ber than I have ever heard reported in a season previously . I have written to the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries , and to the Fishmongers ' Company to the above effect . Obviously the preservation of the middle length of the Wye has been overdone , and it has become absolutely necessary to re- introduce the use of the beating net immed- iately the water falls low in summer . Of course , the Board of Conservators are perfectly well aware of what is happening . and no false pride must stand in the way of the obvious remedy being applied . I wonder when Lord Lincolnshire sanction- ed the sweeping bye - laws of a few years ago . he had any conception what the effect would be ?
