^''Soni’e of tho Guardiana wero of opinion that part


of their objection arose from obstinacy, anci that they would take kindly enough to them if they were hungry.


THE JOINT COMMITTEE ON THE I’AUIBH COUNCILS. Arifling from the fi-iestionfl addrcHsed to Xho


ment Act was^ a Inost’complicated nffair, and although ho had Hpontflome time in tr^’ing tograsp its pOHsihiliticH and workings, ho could not say that ho fairly' umlorstoml it. He suppo.HCil they must sa>'• lhc3' had flomething to ho thankful for, and amongst otlior things that'they were not the authors of the Hill. Hut, however difilcult it might he, they were expected to carry it out. The Act ho should dcscriho as partly/cbuHtruetive ainl party destructive. While parish vcslrics were destroyed and Hoards of Guardians were aholifihed. they had given them-in tlicir place rarish and District CouneilH. They would have their lady cloctorp, it might ho their lady councillprs, and perhaps a lady ehainnah. (Laughter).’’ lie thought the Act had gone out of its wn^’ to wipeout the Ex-Olllcio Guardians. It did- not merely leave, them alone, hut it actually devoted a clause to flay


Guardians by the.County Council ns to the dcsir.a- hility of grouping parisIioH, etc. Air. Balpli Assneton said the new Local Govern­


• thc.v must no longer exist. Thifl wan too had, for if the ex-olllcioflliad iiotdono a great deal of good, ho did not tliink they had done much harm. Tho result of the Svorking wbiild ho that three District Councilfl would he set up in tho Union, one for CIitheroo,ohe for Iho Lancashire Townships,and one for the Yorksh ire Townsh 1 ps, tlie three together form­ ing tho Hoard for thc,admini.stration of I’ lxir Law work. Tile question of what should ho done in the wny ofamalgamatingparisho.scontaininglcHs thanfiOOof apopulatlon, hcecarccU’ knew howto answer. Hut lie should he for waning the iitrcam at the sliallow- cstpart. (Laughter). To open up again tho old question of representation would he difilcult, and he drew attention to the changes that had already been mado in that direction. At one time cacli parish was chargeable with llio inainteimnce of its own pixir, hut eventually thc^' were all relieved out of one common fund. Then Clitlieroc doubled itself in size in consequence of the growth of tho cotton industry, and twenty years ago the Clithcnie people came heforo that Hoard wanting: their representation raising to seven. It wiis raised to five, and.he thought very properly', and reduced tho country guardians l>3’ grouping some of tho town- shiiw together, There was some grumbling, but he thought that on the whole the arrangement was fairly satisfactory. He should answer then, that as tiiG present arrangement had worked ver^* well, by moving tliat there should ho no further group­ ing, or dividing the parifllics into wards; that tliere ho the same number of rcprcsontalions as now; and the whole of llic ropre.sentativcs retire over}' three j’ears.
