4 The question is now being agitated
in the boardroom of Cavan workhouse,
as to whether the laborers entitled to
| ~ al
scheme. are to receive statute acre, or
but half that extent of land attached to
the cottages to be built for their accom-
mediation. Cavan is one of the few
4 Ulster counties in which any attempt
u has been made to assist the agricultural
laborers, though very little has been
done there in comparison with what has
been done in counties Munster and Con-
.naught The question as to whether the
plot given with the cottage should be an
acre or half an acre is one OF importance.
The difference between an acre and a
half acre is very small matter to the
local authority, but it is everything to
the laborer.
