Charity Trustees Meeting
A meeting of the Trustees of the Town Charities was held at the Technical Institute on the 9th inst.
Mr H.C. Marshall presided, and there were also present Rev. L.W. Wright, Capt. H.H. Williams, and Messrs. C. Fraser, W.J. May, P. Hamilton, G. Armstrong and H.H. Macklin (clerk).
The income arising from the charities amounted to £80, which is in excess of last year, a fact welcomed especially as the money has to be dispersed in coal according to the trusts.
The old Bigg's Bread Charity produced an income of £4 9s. 4d. This was administered by the Clerk in small loaves to cottagers' families as stated in the terms of the bequest.
Between 400 and 500 of these small loaves were needed, and they were supplied by Mr C.S. Coates, of Buntingford.
