ijd . In Clitheroe the county


rate was much less owing to their being a special rate, and was only jd ., making the full rate here 81d. in the £ . The rate w;is :i little more than last half year, owing to the fact that they were ;d)le to ilraw on a li:il:tnee which had occurred owing to ;in expected increase in the Lancashire county rate; the rate was really less than that for 1905, wliich wa.s is. 51!. for Lancashire

I'll, for the half year, i ld . for a full year, without reducing receipts. .-V penny rate was equal to £537. Mr. Holme asked how the rate eomiiared


with the past few years. The Clerk said there was little varlaiio'i


in the total amount, if there wa.s a reduc­ tion in one item there wa.s iistiallv an in­ crease which made up the total about the same. On the motion of Air. Holme, seconiled


by Mr. Turner, the estimate of the Clerk was approved.
