Signed T. V. Stephens , clerk . " The Clerk said that such a communication from one authority to another was very curt .. In fact , it was an insult . The Surveyor ( Mr. Howells ) : I don't trouble what they write . I have no enemies to make . I see what the steam roller is doing every day , but , of course , I don't stop there all day long . The Clerk said the question was : Were the Rural District Council satisfied with the way in which the Surveyor was doing his work ? The Chairman : I don't think we ought to reply to the letter . Mr. H , Webb said he was on the road as much as anybody , and saw nothing to com- plain about . The Council agreed to acknowledge the letter and inform the Parish Council that they saw no cause for complaint . FREE FROM DISEASE .
