The sixteen employees of the Inglewood county who were last month put on casual labour are to ha notified that no further work will be available for them after August 16. After a lengthy discussion in committee at yesterday’s council meeting it was decided that work could no longer be provided for the men ao the council was not in a financial position to provide for it. At the end of the debate the chairman stated that the overdraft stood at £4700 17s 7d, this being incurred since April 1 and during the winter months when it was hoped to conserve the county’s finance for the summer.
Since the loan monies had been used about two yeans previously, he continued, the council had been hard put to it to find employment for the full staff. The cost of keeping the 16 men in work was roughly £3OOO a year. During the past month the men had been employed three and .a-half - days a week, but is was now felt thia must terminate.
