A special meeting of the Ross Urban Cou cil was held at the Council Chambers d Monday morning . Col. O. R. Middleto ( Chairman ) presided , and the other membe present were Mr. W. R. Lewis ( Vice - Chai man ) . Mr. W. Butcher . Mr. J. F. Davie Mr. T. Watkins , Mr. J. H. Hall , Mr. 1 Matthews , Mr. F. Cooper , Mr. J. Meredit Mr. E. Morgan ; with Mr. Ernest R. Davi ( Clerk ) . SECONDARY SCHOOL GOVERNORS APPOINTED . The CHAIRMAN said it was necessary t call the meeting to elect five governors t the Ross Secondary School to represent th Urban Council because the finance meetin of the Governors was to be held on Jun 26th , and the next meeting of the Counci would not be held until the 29th . Fiv representatives were to be elected , one whom must be a lady . The following were elected : -Mrs . Ver Echoyle , Col. O. R. Middleton , Mr. T. Ma thews , Mr. F. Cooper , and Mr. W. R. Lewi STREET MATTERS . Mr. MATTHEWS said he had received complaint concerning the intolerable condi tion of Station - street , more particularly th part in front of the Alton Court Brewer premises . The Alton Court Brewery Com pany were the greatest ratepayers in the town . He thought the street should be tar sprayed . There was a lot of traffic in thi part , and he certainly thought they should keep the streets clean where there were very large ratepayers . The CHAIRMAN suggested that it was a matter for the Streets Committee . Mr. HALL said that if they tar - sprayed this street , they would have to do others , be cause other people had to pay the same rates in proportion . Personally , he would like to see the street tar - sprayed . Mr. BRAWN said he supposed that i Station - street was tar - sprayed , not being a main street , the cost would fall upon the Council . i Mr. HALL : Yes .. The CHAIRMAN said he thought it would be best to refer the matter to the Streets Committee . SIGNPOST FOR THE BROOKEND . ' A letter was read from the Herefordshire Motor Olub , saying they were willing to pay for a signpost to be placed in the Brookend indicating the road to Ledbury , if the Coun cil would grant permission . Mr. HALL proposed that the request be granted , subject to the approval of the Sur veyor . Mr. BUTCHER seconded , saying it would be a very good thing . THE DUST NUISANCE . Mr. MEREDITH handed a letter to the Chairman which he had received from Mr. W. H. Barnwell . the president of the Traders ' Association .. Mr. Meredith . ex- plained that he assumed the letter was ad- dressed to him because of statements he had made at a recent meeting of the Traders Association when some people spoke in a derogatory way of the upkeep of the town . The CHAIRMAN said it was a private letter , but the pith of it was that Mr Barnwell complained of the dust nuisance and said the water cart was not doing what might be done . Mr. LEWIS suggested that instead of watering the streets the tar - sprayed surface should be swilled with the hose pipe , which would have the advantage of washing the dust and the dirt into the drains instead of laying it . He did not think it would be any more expensive than the present arrange ment of watering the streets . The matter was referred for the considera- tion of the Streets Committee . Ross Council Schools . The usual monthly meeting of the Ross Council School Managers was held in the Boardroom on Monday , when there were present Mr. F. S. Collins ( Chairman ) , Mrs. Thomas , Mrs. Watson . Rev. J. Angus . Mr. H. T. Blake , Mr. H. Llewellyn , Rev. W. A. Powicke , and Mr. F. W. Wintle , with Mr. George B.
