The' Government’s proposals were all tied up with a financial revolui tlon in the rating systenl. !.

He;.made a shrewd guess that Ciltheroe r would not lose In the whole transformation. To say we would lose the equivalent of a threepenny-rate was just absurd.:

In fairness to members of the Council; it should be made'known to the public why. promises made

It had been said that when promlees had been-made there, was la certain moral obligation that' they;! should be- honoured, but, the-onus iln the matter was on the whole CouncUj and the criticism which certain Individuals had made ■ was not entirely fair.' Now the points sys tem had been adopted he; hoped people .would help the Council to
