Striking a Rate: Shire Council debates 2s and 6d levy
The Shire Secretary Mr W Fyom outlined a £500 overdraft shortfall for September and an estimated £6,608 to £6,?4 for the year. A 2s rate would yield about £500 less than expenditure, while 6d would raise roughly £1,700 more. Members argued over keeping extra rates separate to reduce the overdraft and maintain faith with rate payers. A 1s 6d or 6d extra was discussed, with calls to limit day labour and avoid broad summer work. The motion to set the rate at 2s or 6d was not carried.
