This application was not accepted, the board being unable to make any concessions for payment of rates as suggested, as they require the cash to meet their liabilities. It was decided to instruct the inspector to challenge hawkers, and pedlars, and, if unable to produce a license, to collect a stated fee from them. The foe for registration of dogs for the ensuing year was fixed at the same as previous years. Accounts totalling £2lO 12/1 were passed for payment.
