Notes of the Week
There was an excellent attendance at the meeting of the Guardians yesterday, but there was no "hush, hush" about the proposed Poor Law Reform.
One of the Councillors rose and condemned the Government's proposals in a ruthless manner, while another Councillor said he spent all last Sunday in trying to fathom what good there was in the proposed reform.
Mr H.C. Marshall must have taken more than an active interest in the matter at the County Council meeting on Monday, for he explained to the Guardians in a very able manner what the County Council thought of the scheme.

At the Council meeting which followed there was great speculation as to the fate of the board near Hillside, which informas passers-by that they are about to enter Buntingford.
As the Council propose erecting signs asking motorists to drive slowly through the town, it was suggested that the name board be scrapped.
It was discovered, however, that this was erected by the County Council, and that none but that body have any power to have it removed.
