oúetnment jottings. The Parish Council of Weaverham have ^solved to memoralise the War Office respect- the danger to the public which exists when g is taking place at Owley Wood Rifle ge. The range has been provided at con- querable expense by the 2nd and 3rd Yolunteer battalions the Cheshire Regiment, and is 118idered to be one of the most perfect of its tind. It is in almost daily use by Volunteers, 48 well as by the recruits from Chester Castle. As an illustration of the kind of season through which we have been passing, it may be mentioned that at the monthly meeting of 'he Middleton Town Council the engineer Imported that the rainfall in the district during was only 1*77 inches, as against 7 54 tnches in the corresponding month of last year. On the proceedings of the Health Com- kttee of the Heywood Town Council at their ent meeting, it appeared that the medical Oleer of health had reported that the majority Of deaths occurred among children who were bottle-fed." He strongly recommended that the people should be supplied with sterilised "ulk. At the final meeting of the Burnley Town ootmeil a letter was read from the secretary to the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society, asking for an expression of opinion on the part of the Council as to the likelihood of an Citation being given to the Society to hold its annual show in Burnley. After discussion, jtowever, it was decided that, having regard to j^e condition of the staple industry of the borough, the Council did not consider the time opportune for giving such invitation to th6 society. •A-n unusual incident marked the late meeting the Altrincham Urban Council. The subject fjjtoier consideration was a recommendation by e Baths Committee to erect five slipper baths connection with the Jubilee Commemoration ^ths, when a question of legality was mooted, an amendment moved that the Local government Board be written to and asked for U* ruling in the matter. A subsequent recom- mendation as to the provision of the slipper *«is, that no action ba taken until the position 1 the Council w;is a-c-jrtained was moved, hereupon thf3 elia;m-in (Mr. R. Gatley) ctesïgned, rem -.rvin^ that the action taken by mem-jsrs was intended to black the hole schema iie took it as a vote of censure, kd left the chair accordingly. Some members of the Holywell Urban Ottncil are anxious to know what has become the R,600 recently subscribed in the district Or the war fund. One member proposed a "Eolation that inquiry be made on the subject, a remark followed, I am afraid it will go same way as the Crimean War Fund. We 0ll't know where that went to."—The Clerk that the Council had no official right to b terfere in the 'matter. The best plan would for an individual subscriber to apply for a f^tement.—An amendment was accordingly °^ed that the Council take no action in the ratter, and on a vote being taken, after a lively ^CQasion, the Board was equally divided, the Truman giving his casting vote in favour of 6 amendment. During the conversation it ^*8 pointed out that the money had been sent A. Captain Feilding, the local secretary of w Soldiers' and Sailors' Families' Association, th Wou^ no doubt satisfy querists as to <lisposal of the fund. the recent meeting of the Gwyfrai District g^Uci], at Carnarvon, it was reported that teen cases of infectious disease had occurred the month, eight being of typhoid fever three diphtheria. An opinion was expressed the typhoid cases arose from temporary „ of a pure water supply— Possibly by a diseased animal." One case of ^Phtheria was traceable to the water, and, it added, the inhabitants got their present ^Pply from a well which was only a few yards a cemetery." And yet this question of supply to the district has been under the ration of the Council for years. Ugh! tjj- ari unsavoury subject makes one shudder to of. And the Council eontented them- with decreeing that the Sanitary Com- ttee should give the matter their attention. II) tloal'ds of Guardians now and then come in 8o,ue novel experiences in match-making At 1491, such events are by no means uncommon. Holbeach, recently, the Guardians had to respecting the appointment of a matron, PrBvious one having resigned. There were kth :two applicants for the post, among them Larrington, who, it was said, was &aged to the master. The latter held the ^^P card, for he said if Miss Larrington c. lot appointed he would himself resign. ea,sked that the lady might be appointed for 1nonth to see if she liked the situation, at elld of which time they would be married. tb. t the Guardians pressed for a definite reply; faster went to consult his fiance^, and on vj^fQing told the Guardians they would get f*ied forthwith. Thereupon the lady was ^Pointed to the situation, the incident, as may *xpected, causing no little amusement. A Hew board school has been opened at n the week, the proceedings being with no little eclat. Mr. L. J. schools for the district, was ^nc^Pa^ speaker. After highly compli- cating jjjjQ School Board on their spirited j/^Uct in building a handsome school at a of £ 4,000, and the ratepayers for the th IlUe in which they rendered their support, QJ* inspector made a strong appeal for the co- ^ation of the parents in the matter of the ^tfance of their children. He pointed that, while in England the average ifc ^aQce was 81*66 per cent., in Wales th ww 72 67, while during the year to ,*ttendance in the Ruabon district descended 9 per cent. The loss to the management v*511 this neglect, he said, probably tyjy^ted to £ 1,000 a year, while the loss to the ren could not be estimated. Another 'hi Stable item of the situation in Denbigh- "as that only 18'2 per cent, of the boys in elementary schools were above Standard and of the girls only 15 9. This, he pro- to point out, in all probability resulted W? the children being taken out of school to V0tf at far too early an age. Some of them 72. hours a week, in addition to their glance at school. The latter statement It cries of "Shame," as well it might; but to he asked what are the authorities about OVF it 41f 'h. i.
