Rural District Council
A meeting of the Rural District Council followed, Captain H.H. Williams presiding.
Surveyor's Report
Isolation Hospital
No cases of infectious disease have been notified, and the hospital remains closed.
Waterworks
The consumption of water during the past month has been:
1st week 258,000 gallons.
2nd week 276,000 gallons.
3rd week 274,000 gallons.
4th week 264,000 gallons.
We have received the consignment of parafin costing £16 13s. 4d.
Coal Emergency
Since submitting my last report a fair quantity of coal has come through, sufficient to meet all current domestic needs up to this date.
Two further consignments, however, due this week, have not yet come to hand owing to the delay experienced in unloading the vessels at the London Docks.
I have secured a further consignment for delivery on Wednesday next, and am in negotiation for further supplies for the following week.
Slaughter Houses Order
Horace Piggott, of Buntingford, makes application to register his premises as a licensed slaughter house.
A new slaughter house has been constructed and is quite satisfactory.
Complaint at Little Hormead
In accordance with the instructions of the Council, I have interviewed Mr Pattern, relative to the proposed drainage scheme in connection with the Council cottages, and am pleased to report that Mr Pattern will be willing to assist the Council in the matter.
On Mrs Dimsdale's return we propose meeting on the site and discussing the best method of dealing with the matter.
Housing
The Surveyor reported that with the exception of Sandon, where one cottage became vacant on 23rd ult., all the cottages were in occupation.
Milk and Dairies Order
The order was explained by Dr R.A. Dunn, and it was resolved to communicate with all cow keepers.
Petroleum Order
The Clerk stated that a new order was in force re the storage of Petroleum. He had sent for the forms of registration.
Roads
The Chairman said that special forms needed to be completed before the County Council took over the roads now owned by the Buntingford Council, and the Clerk was instructed to write to the County Council asking whether a separate form was required for each section of road.
