SUGGESTED IMPROVEMENTS ON THE PROSPECT . The monthly meeting of the above author- ity was held at Council Chambers , on Mon- day evening , when the members present were Mr. James Meredith ( Chairman ) , Mr. J. Brawn ( Vice - Chairman ) . Mr. J. H. Hall , Mr. J. F. Davies , Mr. T. Watkins , Mr. R. Drew , Mr. A. J. Knight , Mr. W. R. Lewis , Mr. W. E. Cole , Mr. W. Butcher , with Mr. Ernest R. Davies ( Clerk ) , Dr. A. J. Campbell ( Medical Officer ) , Mr. F. Ricketts ( Sanitary Inspector ) , and Mr. A. H. Pearson ( Sur veyor ) . The absence of Mr. Morgan was apologised for . COL . MIDDLETON BETTER . The OLERK said Colonel Middleton had called upon him , and he wished to thank the Councillors for their kind inquiries concern- ing him during his illness . He was now very much better , but he hoped the Council would excuse him for a month or so until the weather got more favourable and a little warmer . The CHAIRMAN said he knew he should be expressing their joyful feelings when he said how pleased they were to know that Colonel Middleton , whom he met out the other day , was progressing so favourably . They would , he was sure , welcome the good news . THE FIRE BRIGADE ACCOUNTS . The CHAIRMAN : Has any member any questions to ask ? Mr. KNIGHT said he had one or two questions to ask in reference to the auditor's report . He believed a sum of money was paid in by mistake in connection with the fire brigade accounts , and part of that sum , about £ 15 , was returned to this Council . The questions he wished to ask were these : - faults , and he did not want it to be said out- side that they were hiding things from the public . Mr. BRAWN asked if this matter were to be gone into , whether it could not be done at the end of the ordinary business . Mr. KNIGHT : I have asked the questions , and all I want is plain straightforward answers , the truth and the whole truth . leave the matter entirely in the Council's hands . The people want to know what has been done with the money they have paid into the rates . The CHAIRMAN said he quite understood that , and he was quite sure Mr. Knight would be told the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but the truth . Mr. BUTCHER : If Mr. Knight would only do his duty , and attend the Council meet- ings , we should not have these things . Why did not Mr. Knight do his duty , and attend the meetings if he wanted to champion the cause of the ratepayers , then he would know what was going on and being done , instead of coming here as he did , and making these statements . Mr. KNIGHT : I know as much of what is going on in the town as you do , Mr. Butcher . Mr. HALL ( to the Clerk ) : Can you answer the question without casting reflections P The CLERK : No , I cannot . Mr. DREW : I will propose that these ques- tions he deferred to the next meeting , in order that the official may be present to answer any charges brought against him . The CHAIRMAN Now you have done a good public service . Mr. HALL : I will second that . The motion was then carried , and Mr. Knight gave notice to bring this matter for- ward at the next meeting . FINANCE REPORT . Mr. COLE , Chairman of the Finance Com- mittee , said the Council had a balance in the treasurer's hands of E774 0s . 11d . They had passed bills on the loan account , for income tax , for labour , and sundry other items , amounting in all to £ 274 18s . 4d . When those were paid , that would leave them with a substantial credit balance of £ 499 2s , 7d . He proposed the adoption of the report . Mr. BUTCHER seconded , and it was carried . SANITARY REPORT . 1. Why was the money paid out in the first Mr. LEWIS presented the Sanitary Com- place by the Council , and why was it after - mittee report , which made reference to var- wards returned ? 2. Is there a receipt in the possession of the Council upon which attendances at fires are charged , and has it been found out that such attendances were not made ? 3. Has this Council received a book in which items have been charged and paid for con- cerning work at the fire brigade station , and that such work has not been authorised by this Council ? order . or Mr. WATKINS said he rose to a point of This was absolutely out of order , and Mr. Knight had no right to ask those questions according to the standing orders , as these questions cast reflections upon an officer of the Council . The standing order he referred to was as follows : - " Before the public business is entered upon , questions are permitted to be put to the Chairman or the Clerk , to the Chairman of any Committee conected with the business of the Council ; but such questions shall not involve argument , facts except such as are strictly necessary to explain such questions . A question which has been fully answered may not be re- newed , and , in answering a question , the matter to which the same refers is not to be debated . " He ( Mr. Watkins ) submitted that these questions did involve innuendo or imputations , and were entirely out of order . The CHAIRMAN , after reading the first question again , said he was well in touch with the business of this Council , and he thought Mr. Knight had a right to ask this first question , and it was only a question of whether their Tearned Clerk or the Chairman of the Brigade Committee should answer it . Mr. COLE , as Chairman of the Finance Committee , said he thought the onus of answering the question fell upon the Clerk , as part of those accounts referred to came up before he was made Chairman of the innuendo , or imputations , nor contain any ious plans to cover in a yard at Messrs . Butcher and Casson , and regarding cottages in Brampton - street , which were passed . They also recommended that the Chairman of the Council and the Chairman of the Sanitary Committee should attend the conference at Hereford with reference to the question of an Isolation Hospital for the rural and urban carried . that two out of the three patients that had THE ROSS GAZETTE THURSDAY , FEBRUARY 26 , 1914 .

Chamberlain , Capt . Allen modestly announced that he would not bore his hearers further , and , I suppose as a kind of set - off or compensation or the boredom so far endured , he treated them to the remark that " Mr. Parish had out pheasanted the mangold worzel .

Allen ap- pears to have formed of the work done by the Committees in question . LIFEBOATMEN DROWNED . WRECK SCENES OFF WEXFORD COAST . BODIES WASHED ASHORE .

" The present Old Age Pension scheme was introduced that year , and I must remind Capt . Allen of the attitude then adopted by his party towards it , on the third reading on July 9th , 11 Tories voted against the Bill , 12 Tories for it , and 140 Tories did not vote at all . Their true feelings towards the measure were made clear by their speeches : - Lord Ave bury on July 20th , 1908 , in the House of Lords , said , " It ( the Bill ) would involve an immense increase of taxation , per- petuate poverty , lower wages , and discourage thrift " on Decem- tion . " FIVE BODIES WASHED ASHORE . The Wexford lifeboat returned to port on Sunday , and her skipper stated that all the survivors on Kerrig Island appeared to be Norsemen - none of them could talk English when they were hailed from the lifeboat . It was found to be quite impossible to get near enough to rescue them . The Wexford lifeboatmen expressed their opinion that the boat crew of thirteen of the Fethard lifeboat had perished . It was stated that seven of their bodies have been washed ashore , but all that is known for certain is that five have been recovered . all of whom are known to have been in the Fethard boat . The names are : Christopher Bird , fifty - five ; James forty - five ; Thomas Hendrick , thirty - nine ; Patrick Roche , fifty - six ; and Patrick Cullen , forty - five .
