J f wa.s tlioughl th a t local ohjec- timi liad been removed by a decisioii not to Einay the road from Stniiden Hall to Icndlu- ton but a t Monday’s meeting, the (touncil re­ ceived the following letter from the becretaiy of the \Yhnlley' Agricultural .Society :— i l ia following resolution was uuaiiiniously passed a t a meeting of tho committee ol the


Tfie proiiosal of Clitlieroo l lm a l District


Whallcy Agricultural Society:— That this ropresoutativo niceliiig ql


larinors, wishes to pn>tost as sti'ongly us i t is possible against Uio proiiosiil ol tho Clithoroo Rural District Cloiiucil to tor spray the road from I ’cndloton liar to


SVoreton. “ In tho opinion of the meeting the tai . ,


smaving of tlio road in question, and of other similnr ro:id.s, is utterly unnecc.ssnry and would ho a serious menneo and the cause ol mncii incoiivoiiiciico and toss to mrincrs and other owners of stock.

The meeting very strongly urge.s tilt Rural District tVniiicil to reconsider its dicision a.s to ta r spraying the Rendletoii ji„r—AVoaslon road, and asks it, m luluie dealing with roads, to reineinher Uiat the clilheroe di.strict Is largely an agricultiinil one and tha t the interests of agncnltiiio are (Icserving of .some degrid "f eoiisitlcralion.

Tlio Chairmao disagix'ed, iioinliiig out that tho g r .aler portion ot the road through the
