Buntingford Rural District Council
Captain H.H. Williams presided at the monthly meeting of the above Council, held at the Council Offices on Thursday in last week.
The Surveyor, Mr E.G. Thody, presented his monthly report.
The Isolation Hospital remained closed. The town's water consumption for the past month was 1,014,000 gallons; the water level at the well had risen another 12in., and stood at 38 feet, the same as at January last.
Condemned Cottages
Dr R.A. Dunn, the Medical Officer of Health, presented a report on the condition of the cottages in Baldock Road, previously reported on by the Surveyor. After discussion it was agreed to issue closing orders.
Fuel Overseer
The Board discussed the question of remuneration to be paid the Fuel Overseer for his duties during the period of the coal dispute - 30 weeks.
The Chairman said a great amount of extra work had been entailed in connection with the issuing of permits and the recording of stocks of coal.
After discussion it was agreed to pay Mr Thody the sum of £30 for his services, and the Chairman said the Board wished to thank him for the manner in which he had dealt with the situation.
During the coal dispute Buntingford was much more fortunate than many other places, with regard to the supply of coal.
Roads
The Surveyor presented a schedule showing the cost of putting in order the roads which the County Council proposed taking over.
The amount stated (£8213), was considered much too high, and it was agreed to get into comunication with the County Councillors representing the District, with a view to getting this amount substantially reduced.
