Shuttleworth as chairmah, together with several county officials, held an inquiry at Burtonwood, near St. Helens, on Tuesday afternoon, as to the public rights over a lane known as Kiln-lane. The path haid been stopped by the owners of the farm, Messrs. J. Fairclough and Sons, Warrington, and the Parish Council contested the point.—Mr. J. C. Satton, c!,erk to the Warrington Rural District Council, stated that, with the exception of the chairman of the Burtonwood Parish Council, the members were unanimous in declaring that the matter was not worth fighting about, and that from a financial point of view they woald not give 10 for it.

HAMS, BACON AND CHEESE are Dearer.—Advt. Health Committee's Visit to Delamere. On Thursday the members of the Health Committee of the Corporation visited Manchester and Liverpool sanatoriums for the treatment of consumptives in Delamere Forest. The party included the Mayor, Councillor Evans (chairman of the Health Committee), Councillor Wilkinson (deputy-chairman), Dr. Gornall (medical officer of health), Mr. T. Longdin (borough surveyor) and Mr. T. Hallway (deputy Own clerk). They first drove to the Crossby sanatorium, where the Manchester patients are treated, and made a thorough inspection of the premises and various appliances under guidance of ?Dr. E. Lloyd. Afterwards the Liverpool Corporation's sanatorium was visited, the visitors being conducted through the building by Dr. Wood. They were, we understand, very favourably impressed with what they saw, and gained much useful information. At the Liverpool sanatorium 'Dr. Wood kindly entertained the committee to tea. The return journey was afterwards commenced and Warrington was reached about nine o'clock. There are in Warrington about one hundred known cases of consumption, and it is considered probable that steps will sooner or later have to be taken by the municipality to treat them. The alternative methods are for the Corporation to enter into an arrangement to send patients to other sanatoriums, or to provide bungalows for the treatment of cases within their own area.
