Jamestown District Council Sees Stable Finances in War Year
The Jamestown District Council reports a year ending June 30 1942 with a credit of 296 pounds 16 shillings 4 pence after starting with 7 pounds 19 shillings 11 pence debt. Rates arrears were reduced to 536 pounds 14 shillings 4 pence, and a large Allied Works Council tractor was requisitioned leaving two machines in use.
