TONICS. 6.3. SANKEY-STREET, Warrington.—Advt. 'Another Outbreak of Smallpox. Warrington has unfortunately experienced another outbreak of smallpox. Last week six cases were reported and three others have been added this week. Two patients have died. The Public Health Department has had some trouble in tracing one of the contacts. but yesterday morning they succeeded in finding the object of their quest at Warrington Bridge. The man had been into Cheshire looking for work and had thus evaded the authorities. He was found to be suffering from a mild attack of smallpox, and was immediately taken to the Town Hall stables and detained there, pending the arrival of the cab used for the removal of smallpox patients. 'Fire in Lovely-lane. Shortly after one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, the Warrington Fire Brigade was called to a fire at the stables of Qouncillor Walter Brough in Lovely-lane. Superintendent Turner and a good muster of men were quickly on the scene with the engine "Major." It was found that some hay in the loft had. 'become ignited, but fortunately the flames were extinguished without much difficulty. Damage to the extent of about 110 was done and this is unfortunately not covered by insurance. Messrs. Crosfield's fire *brigade turned out, but on finding that the Borough brigade had been summoned, returned to the works. The origin of the fire isnot known. Music in the Park. Mr. T. J.

Mr. Garnett, of Lancaster, said though large amounts must necessarily be spent unnn police, main roads, an'cl education, a considerable saving could be effected in other directions. There were continual demands for increased salaries, and a large sum could have been saved in the erection of a new sessions house. Money had been lavishly spent upon Police stations, and unless there was retrenchment, it would spell financial suicide. The financial area was decreasing. but no effort was made to reduce the exPenditure, indeed the prospective expenditure was greater. The gradual increase in rateable value did not arise from the erection of new buildings -but through old buildings and property being rated from twentv to twenty-five per cent. higher than formerly. The ratepayers were becoming dissatisfied, urban districts were petitioning to join county boroughs, and non-county boroughs were endeavouring to amalgamate. Where was the county going to be landed? The minty area was being depleted, and unless the Council dealt with the matter in a distlassionate manner they would soon be faced with financial ruin. The ratepayers were being ton heavily *burdened and becoming alarmed. After a discussion, Mr. Garnett gave notice that at the next quarterly Meeting of the County Council be would move that a trong committee be anneinted to fully investigate the PnanCial condition of the county.
