RATE INCREASED BY EIGHTPENCE


^LITHEROE Rural Council have decided to raise their general flat rate by 8d. in £, to 10s. 2d., but as the County requirement is increased by lOd., there is a sav­


ing of twopence on local requirements. This was stated by Coun. J. G. Sharp, Chairman of the Finance and General


Purposes Committee, in his annual budget' statement, on Monday afternoon. Councillor Sharp pointed out that the new rate would


comprise a County Council rate of 8s. 5d. (an increase of lOd.) and a Rural District Rate of Is. 9d„ a reduction of 2d.


"The penny rate product for


the Rural District has risen from an estimated £1,000 for ] 965-66 to an estimated £1,019 for 1966-67. This is due largely to an increase in rateable value of approxi­ mately £6,500, but also takes into account an estimated loss on collection of £1,000 which is the Council’s net cost of rebates under the new Rating Bill,’’ Coun. Sharp proceeded.


'•The amount of rates to be


collected and paid over to the County Council is exepected to t)e some £103,000. wheras the pmount to bo collected and re­ tained for Rural District pur- pa=es is estimated at only £21.400.


It is anticipated", Councillor


Sharp said, "that the actual net expenditure for the cur­ rent year will be approximately £7,200 below the estimated hg- «re."


"This may look rather bad


nnd no doubt we have been over estimating on some items. Bui in my opinion this is better than underestimating and helps our balances on the right side. This will increase the Generali Rate Fund Balance to iusi over £40,000. This surplus, together with various balances cn their reserve accounts has been extremely useful, in that


we have been able to finance temporarily a substantial part of the last Riddings Lane hous­ ing scheme from these balan­ ces, without having to resort to long-term bon'owing.


SAVINGS “During the year, savings


have been made on all sei-vices, due in some respect to under- spendings on salaries and


wages occasioned by vacancies. It is not required to make a rate fund contribution to the Repairs and Renewals fund, as this would cause the balance of £3,000. authorised by the Lancashire Coimty Council (General Powers) Act. 1951, to be exceeded. A contribution of £1,000 has however been made to the Capital Fund, which now stands at £2.618,


.Net expenditure for the


coming year, before taking into a c c o u n t Rate Deficiency Grants, amounts to £37,719, a reduction of approximately £2,000 on the cun-ent years’ estimates. The summary state­ ment i.ssued shows in round figures how this has been bro­ ken down, but savings have been effected by Uie reduction by £1,000 of the Fylde Water Board precept and the omission of the contribution of £1,000 to the Repairs and Renewals Fund. These two items giving us a saving of a 2d. rate. “Various reallocations of Sal-

CLITHEROE YOUTH SENTENCED FOR STREET ATTACK


^TAXING that it was a bad case of assault bn two people in the street, the Deputy Chairman, Mr. P. Kershaw, at


the Lancashire Sessions at Preston on Tuesday, sentenced Allan Renwlck (19) clerk, of Whalley Road, Clitheroe, to three months in a detention centre. Renwick had been sent for sentence charged with caus­


ing grievous bodily harm to Mr. Harry Bishop and actual bodily harm to Mr. Terence Stewart.


Mr. R. J. Hardy, prosecut­


the contribution of £15 per house to the Housing Repair Fund, but this may be the last year in which, we, can retain this figure, without' having to di-aw from balances. Provision has been made for the erection of 4 garages, if needs warrant them, at Wliailey. "It has been - decided not to


increase Council house rents, and rent free weeks will con­ tinue to be given to tenants not in arrear with their rents at the local summer holiday and at Christmas, !‘To date this year, the Coun­


cil have paid eight Discretion­ ary Improvement Gi'ants total­ ling £2,490, and 26 Standard Improvements Grants amount­ ing to £2,705 to private owners under the Housing Acts.


EXTRAS "To the rate of 10/2 in the £


must be added the sums pre­ cepted for by the Parish Coun­ cils and Parish Meetings in the area. This means an additional rate of twopence each in the Parishes of Aighton, Bailey and Chaigley, and Bowland-with- Leagram; threepence each in. the Parishes of Chipping, Dowiiham.' Pendleton and Wis-. well: Fom-pence in the Parish of Whalley, and flvepence in the Parish of Chatburn. "It is pleasing to announce


that our own rate has been re­ duced without having to draw any significant amounts from balances but the benefit will be more than absorbed in the large County increase. "I have every confidence in


asking the Council to approve the recommendations of the Finance and General Purposes Committee and to levy a Gen­ eral Rate of ten shillings and twopence in the pound over the whole of-the RiU'al District with the respective additional items in the Parishes referred to.” At the end of the statement.


Councillor Sharp said he would like to thank the vice-chairman of the Finance and Genei'al Purposes Committee. Councillor H. Eastwood and other officials for helping him to prepare the rate. Councillor Mrs. M. Troop,


who seconded that the state­ ment be accepted, proposed a vote of ■ thanks to • Councillor Sharp for the careful work he had put into his work and to all the others on the committee who had helped.


Death of Mr. Jonathan Brooks


CRICKETER WHO BECAME A LEGEND


Q N E of the best known and most respected cricketers ever to play in the Ribblesdale League, Mr. Jonathan Brooks,


of Thorn Street, Clitheroe, died on Monday at the age of 85. To the older generation of cricket enthusiasts, Jonathan


was a legend. An off-spin bowler of out­


standing talent, Jonathan dominated the scene on many a Saturday afternoon at Church Meadow, and for years was recognised as one of the best bowlers, amateur or professional, the Ribbles­ dale League has ever known.

He could almost make a Jonathan has many wonder­


ful bowling performances to his credit, and although he was not generally regarded as a batsman, more tl-ian once he topped tile half-century and in 1910 he hit 64 against -Earby. In company with R. S. Hud­


son, he once figured in a last- wicket stand of more than a century . against East Lanca­ shire Wanderers. Mr. Brooks retired from the


ing 119 aickets for 8.04 runs each in 1916, being the first amateur ever to capture 100 wickets for the club. He was readily acclaimed the


expressing appreciation of his excellent services. Jonathan lost little craft with the pas­ sing of years, and, even to the day of his retirement, was as deadly as any bowler in the league on a suitable wicket. He was never fortunate enough to secure all ten wickets, but twice came near doing so. The fii’St occasion was against Whalley in the Ranisbottom Cup competition in 1922, when he had nine victims at a total cost of only 12 runs, and the second against Blackpool, when he had nine for 29. Ho served Ribblesdale Wan­

game at the age of 57 in 1937, and perhaps the best bowlmg performance of his long career was in the “derby” match with Clitheroe on the. Church Mea­ dow ground on. May. 14, 1932. Clitheroe batted first and scored 21, Jonathan taking eight wickets for- eight runs in six overs, three of which were maidens. On that occasion a wet

wicket had been baked by the sun, and the crafty, experi­ enced .trundler was in his ele­ ment. Incidentally, in the same match Jonathan hit 16 and was second highest scorer of the game. In 1928 he had the satis­ faction of heading the league bowling averages with 83 wickets at -a cost of; 9.3 runs each. It was only fitting that after 25 years’ experience in the game his services should be recognised, and friends from Ribblesdale .Wanderers and East Lancashire Cricket Clubs paid tribute to his prowess and presented him with a mahog­ any bureau aud an easy chair.


Early Years Jonathan Brooks began his


cricketing career with Clitheroe at the dawn of the centui’y. In his.fii’st season with the second eleven he took 15 wickets at a cost of under 10 runs each and in nine innings totalled 73 runs. After a year or two at the Chatbm’n Road ground, he to ew his lot with the Black­ burn Railway Clerks—he was then employed at the Black- biu’n Goods Station—and In 1906 returned to Ribblesdale Wanderers, who were then members of the Blackburn and District Amateur League. He reached the zenith of his power in the war years, when he joined East Lancashire, as serious cricket was not being played in this district. In his fii’st season he had many bril­ liant performances, to his credit, and crowned all by tak-


- "a


derers faithfully and well in many, dhections after-.his play­ ing days were over ’ and he' had the distinction of being toeasui’er of the' Ribblesdale League, for .-36 successive years, a position he held at the time of his death. On his eightieth birthday a


family party was held at Rim­ ington to mark the occasion.


An unusual feature of the


party was a birthday cake representing a cricket field with wickets and a scoreboard reading “80 not out.” The cake had been made by


Mrs. W. Weaver, a daughter of Ml’. Brooks, whose son, Mi’. C; O. Brooks, the captain of Clitheroe 2nd, together with Mr, K. B. Standi-ing, his grand­ son, who has played for Lan­ cashire, and his son-an-law, Mr. E. Standring, a former captain of Ribblesdale Wan­ derers, also attended.


Sprinter


In Ms younger days Mi’. Brooks did not confine him­


self to cricket for he was a sprinter of far more than average ability and won many local races. A member of Clitheroe Con­


servative Club, he played s n o o k e r regularly until recently, usually with a few of his friends, who were also in the eighties. His sterling c h a r a c t e r ^


impressive dignity and real spoi-tsmanship wo n .


admirers on and off the cricket field and Jonathan Brooks will long be remembered not only in tile Ribble Valley, but throughout a . wide area. To members of his family


him


sympathy will be extended from a very large oii'cle of


friends. The interment took place


yesterday at Clitheroe Ceme- tei’y, and was preceded by a service at St. Paul’s Chm’ch, Low Moor.


What does Qitheroe want ?


■ sir,—Mr. Macnaughton’s let­ ter on Friday last prompts .me to make the following obser­ vations: What in fact does Clitheroe


want, what' are the views of


the elected representatives of the voters on the future ' of Clitheroe? Are they a fowaf-d looking broad-minded body of people open-tc) new ideas and anxious -tO' provide the- Sort of social ■ amenities which a young, active and mentally alert population 'expects, or are they a' tight little enclave of small minded men anxious to preserve their, own. positions .•md r e s i s t a n t to change, especially an^hing , involving public, expenditure? A declara­ tion of intent would be most helpful.'


If Clitheroe is to develop


into a 'prosperous’ and lively town,' 'attracting .people to live, and work-here,, it certainly will have to . provide amenities' which- will encourage people to- want not' only to live and' work but also,to participate in the leisure time activities ■ etc. of the town.


. I think the' population will


probably e'xpand in any case, but it could • develop into, a


■ lifeless dormitory town , pro- vidiug houses for people-who .merely liyfe' Heye , because-.of its obyibus' natupai. attractions Hut who wbrk,.sliop and seek their leisure time activities, else­ where, 'where social .amenities are available. ■Vyithout the participatlori, of

15 and 18 years, from any scout group in .Clitheroe, may become members of this troop whilst maintaining membership of their own groups. .
