Ross Secondary School . ROSS RURAL COUNCIL AND PROPOSED RATEABLE AREA . COMMITTEE'S STRONG REPORT . PENSIONS TO LOCAL APPLICANTS . On Wednesday last this institution held its annual general meeting at the Hotel Cecil , London , to elect pensioners , etc. Lord An- caster presided , and amongst those present were the Earl of Coventry and a number of subscribers from the Gloucester district . The Council congratulated its members on the financial position of the institution , which enabled them to make considerable additions to the list of pensions . Up to the date of election there were 1,154 pensioners on the roll at an annual cost of £ 23.381 , and the elections on Wednesday last added thereto 20 males and 18 married couples and 60 females at an increased annual charge of £ 2,440 . With the addition of the whole of the octo- genarian candidates a further sum of £ 500 per annum was added to the total . It was gratifying to note that one half of the un- successful candidates will be relieved either was a good attendance of members . by pension or by grants during the ensuing 12 months . It was also particularly pleasing to note amongst the list of successes two local names , viz . , Mr. John Rowland wig- more ( first application ) . 621 votes ; and Mrs. Ellen Frances Hartland , widow ( fifth appli- cation ) , 443 votes . The pensions are £ 26 and £ 20 respectively . URBAN COUNCIL CRITICISED . A most important discussion in connection with the proposed extension of the rateable area of the Ross Secondary School took place at last Thursday's meeting of the Ross Rural District Council , when a very stringent re- port in opposition to the scheme was pre- sented by the committee appointed to go into this question , the whole Council even- tually adopting the report unanimously . Ald . T. Preece ( Chairman ) presided , with Mr. J. Murdoch in the vice - chair , and there A cordial vote of thanks was accorded the hon . local seas .. the clergy , and the masters and members of the hunts . It was also ob served that in order to maintain the high standard of benevolence still greater efforts were invited to augment the income of the institution , especially in the direction of an- nual subscriptions . All cannot be successful , and on this occasion 154 were unsuccessful . The total votes recorded for the unsuccess- ful varied from ane to 389. From these figures it will be realised how much personal effort and real friendly practical help is absolutely necessary to obtain for the oandi- date the desired goal . ROSS GOLF CLUB . The competition for the medal took place on the Alton Court Links on Tuesday . The follow- ing were the best scores : - 8. Greatrex Yates .. 90 14 76 A J. Kiddle 93 15 78 H. T. Howell .... 88 5 83 J.

Each member of the Council was supplied with a printed copy of the report , which reads as follows : - " Your Committee , comprising the Chair- man , Vice - Chairman , Councillors H. H. Child , D. A. Meredith , J. G. Protheroe , W. Lloyd ; C. A. Scudamore , and F. S. Collins , report at . a full meeting of the members of the Committee , they were unanimous in re- commending the Council to refuse to allow be rated any part of the Rural Distri for the maintenance of the Ross Secondary School , and the Committee advise that all necessary steps should be taken to prevent such a course being adopted . " Your Committee think it well to remind the Council that , in accordance with the Education Act , 1902 , an enquiry was held by the County Education Committee at Ross , on 10th July , 1908 , and that they reported that a new School for Boys was required at Ross - that subsequently , on 30th June , 1906 , the Secondary Schools Special Committee , which had been formed by the County Edu- cation Committee , reported that the School to be provided for Ross should be for 60 boys , and that an annual sum of £ 272 , which the County Council had allocated out of the Whisky Money Fund in favour of the Urban and Rural Districts of Ross , and the Rural District of Whitchurch , should be applied towards the maintenance of the proposed new Boys ' School at Ross .

The sixty - first Leamington Midland Corn- ties and South Wales archery meeting was held in the Jephson Gardens last week . The results are as follows : - 556.2 . késtone A.8 . Ladies . Urban Council of Ross had agreed to com- bine in establishing the proposed new Secon- dary School , and they had practically arrang- ed as to the amounts to be contributed by each of them . " Notwithstanding this arrangement , how- ever , the Urban Council , unknown to the Rural Council , approached the County Edu- oation Committee , and enquired whether the annual allowance of £ 272 Whisky Money would be paid to them if they decided to act alone in establishing the proposed new School . On hearing of these overtures by the Urban Council , your Council thought it would be better that they should take no further part in the joint scheme , and that the Urban Council should proceed with the matter alone , and a resolution to that effect was passed by your Council on the 28th Maroh , 1907 .

" The report goes on to deal with the sewage question , and concludes : - the Governors of the school on their behalf , " In the event of the Urban Council or proceeding in their endeavour to rate any of the rural parishes for the maintenance of the Secondary School , your committee think that the unfulfilled undertaking of the Urban Council , to establish the promised sewage system ought to be reported to the County Council , with a view to the restora- tion to this Council of the portion of the Ross Rural Parish which was taken from them in 1905.

He thought the remarks that the and that their children should be charged higher fees than the urban children , were most unjust and uncalled for ( hear , hear ) . Mr. SCUDAMORE , as representing the parishes of Llangarron and Llangrove , sup- ported the report , and said it would be most unjust and unfair to make such parishes as those which were within the six miles radius , to pay a rate of one farthing in the pound towards the education of children at the Ross Secondary School . Another point was that if the rural area's share of the grant paid to this school was £ 196 , then why should not the rural area be entitled to some take advantage of this for his children , for of the free scholarships . No poor man could they were deprived of that opportunity . If 18 , 1914 . Death of the Rev. E. .G . Austen , facts that was all the more reason why they should support it .

The report was then put to the vote and carried unanimously .
