Sergt Healey urged speed restriction signs at East and West boundaries while Dr Taluchino noted council already decided.

Emergency Housekeeper Service Expansion Discussed
Discussion followed a Health Ministry letter hinting the government aims to extend the emergency housekeeper service to aid mothers during illness or confinement. Subsidies to municipalities rise to cover four fifths of operating costs plus an annual £50 contribution toward within measures. Dr Taloching noted the water scheme is well organized and that many new mothers returning home early from hospital struggle with domestic duties. The matter was set for the next meeting agenda.
