It has transpired that at the recent meet- ing of the Managers of the Ross Council Schools , when the subject of the teachers ' dispute was discussed in Committee , five members voted in favour of appealing to the Board of Education for arbitration , and a similar number supported the County Educa tion Authority . The Chairman ( Mr. F. S. Collins ) , who is a member of the County Education Authority , is stated to have given his casting vote in favour of supporting that body . It is said that the Rev. J. W. Kettle ( the new Baptist minister at Ross ) whose ap- pointment as a Manager of the Ross Council Schools was sanctioned by the Herefordshire County Conucil two days previously , was not notified of that officially until after the the meeting his vote would have turned the Managers ' meeting ; and that had he been at scale on the side of the arbitration .
