Mr. COLE said with the Chairman's per mission he would answer that question .

He ( Mr. Hall ) proposed the adoption of the report . Mr. DREW seconded ; and it was carried . OTHER ITEMS . The question of erecting the new pens down at the Cattle Market was referred back to the Markets Committee for further con- sideration . Prospect to decide where the three beech The sub - committee appointed to visit the trees , kindly given to the town by a gentle- man , should be planted , reported that two should be planted on the east side , and one as the planting , it was said , would not in on the south side , which was agreed upon , any way interfere with the water tank there .

The CHAIRMAN said he hoped when the question did come forward . that those people who sent their children to the school from the ontside district would contrihnte , and not allow the poor ratepayers in the urban area to pay for the education of their children . FINANCE REPORT . Mr. COLE , Chairman of the Finance Com- mittee , said they had in the treasurer's hands the sum of £ 858 12s . 11d .

With a view to saving further correspondence or expense , the committee now recommended the acceptance of the offer . With regard to the Council Chambers . the committee did not agree to the letting of those rooms for the nurnoses of parties and social gatherings .

With reference to the letter from the County Council , stating that they could establish an isolation hospital in any district where sufficient accommodation had not been pro- vided before June next , it was recommended that a small committee should be appointed to confer with the Rural District Council , with a view to coming to terms with that Council , and to ascertain whether arrange . ments could be made to send the urban sell . The Inspector verbally reported that he had experienced difficulty in getting , the and the committee appointed to confer with the Rural Council re isolation cottage com- prised Mr. J. H. Hall . Mr. J. F. Davies . and Mr. W. R. Lewis . Mr. RICKETTS reported that the beds at pied 2,289 times . MEDICAL OFFICER'S REPORT . At the National Conference held in Man- Brotherhood Campaign in the autumn of 1914 , with the primary object of making the manhood of the country acquainted with the Brotherhood Movement , its aims and ideals , its world - wide character , and of declaring to every man in the land the message the Movement has to the people of our own times . astonishing and most gratifying rapidity , so Whilst the Movement has spread with an that its members and adherents in Great Britain are estimated at over half a million , the fact that there are over two million mem- bers in the organised trade unions of the country , and that the adult male population is several million , it is clear that though there is cause for profound thankfulness to Almighty God for the measure of success the Movement has attained , we are only at the beginning of the work for which the Move- ment was brought into being . Moreover , there is a deal of lonce thinking , and many erroneous notions held concerning the Move ment . The time is now ripe for declaring in clear and unmistakable terms what the Movement stands for , what we are driving at , and of proclaiming our Message far and wide .

To THE EDITOR OF THE Ross Gazette , Sir , -Will you please allow me a small space in your valuable paper to protest against the practice of laying poison about , unprotected , on the Greytree Estate . There have been poisoned , at least , four valuable dogs and several cats within this past month . I only wish the individual could have seen the dreadful death I witnessed of one of the dogs .
