At the end of the present month, which


coincides with the municipal year end, Mr, Robert Barrett, for fifty-seven years In the service of the Clitheroe Corpora­


tion, enters Into a well-earned retire­ ment. Incidentally the announcement was made - - at the Town Council on Tuesday—on the eve of his 77th birth­ day, which means that Mr. Barrett joined the Clitheroe Corporation, at thp age of 20. He began In the water depart meht, his father being water engineer, first to the private company which es­ tablished a satisfactory water supply for Clitheroe after the town had relied only tod long on Its old-time wells or springs,


and afterwards ,to the Corporation who bought the company out, combining these duties with those of Borough Sur­ veyor from 1881 until his death In 1896. Joseph Barrett was the pioneer of Cllt^ heroe’s early road-making, as well as


water engineer and fire brigade superin­ tendent. .He was a'very active man and

regarding facilities'for the registration of blirths, deaths and marriages are to come: into force in the Clitheroe district on April 1st. In brief, Howland parishes which, although they are In Yorkshire, have [been in the Clitheroe registration area,! are being transferred to the Settle area [of the West Riding. Much Incon­ venience will be caused to residents in many of the townships concerned, since Cllthferoe Is the market town for the i Howland area, with regular 'bus services in operation, and In order to get to the Settle area (Glsburn to be precise), many of the Bowland residents will have to travel first to Clitheroe. Mltton, Bashall ■ Eaves, Waddlngton, and West Bradford, which have hitherto formed part lof the Clitheroe Registration area, are being transferred to Glsburn suh- dlstrlct of the Settle area,, so far as births and deaths; are concernedj The Slaldbum sub-district remains unaltered frOiri the point of view of residents, but in future it will be under the control of the West Riding authority Instead of, as formerly, the Lancashire County Coun­ cil. I The Inconvenience these arrange­ ments 'will cause Is obvious, hut the changes In regard to marriages are even more certain to. cause protest. I In future, where a resident In Bowland Is mariylng a resident In Clitheroe, or neighbouring Lancashire townships, notice of 'the marriage will have to be giveh both at Clitheroe and Settle. Bow­ land' couples wishing to be married at the Register Office will In future have to go to Settle, although the; Clithteroe


offleg Is obviously much more convenient for them. There have been manj/ In- stanfces where Clitheroe brides have been married In Yorkshire village churches for sentimental reasons—their bartats were married; there and they MslJed to follow suit, i There has beep
