A Raleigh Entente. § No little of th? success of the Raleigh Cycle Co. has been clue to the good feeling which exists, not only between" the heads of thb Company and the employees, but I between the heads of the various depart ments. The annual gathering, under the hospitality of Mr Frank Bowden, Was held on July 19th, when the. office staff and the beads of the work departments fore- gathered in the beautiful park which sur- rounds Mr Harold Bowden's residence at Beeston Fields. After tea Mr Frank Bowden made his now annual presentation of handsome silver cups to those members of the staff who have given twenty-one years' faithful service to the Ra-Ieigh Com- pany. The most important announcement of the day was reserved for the close, when Mr Bowden informed the company that he had decided to" take his son, Mr Harold Bowden, into full partnership, an announce- ment which was received with enthusiasm by all the gathering.; Mr Bowden referred feelingly to the dark days of the Raleigh Company, when his son gave up his Cam- bridge career to help his father, and now that the Raleigh had been raised to its present position it was a ttfatter of deep gratification for' him to take his only son into full collaboration with him in the great business which has been built up at Lehton. l .1_

BREOONSHIRE AND THE MEMORIAL. County Council's Difficulties. Counsel s Opinion Sought. There was an important discussion at th,e quarterly meeting of the lkeconshire County Council on Friday on the position of the Council in relation to the provision of rate- aid for the work of the Welsh National Memorial Association' in fighting consump- I tion by means of sanatoria, aiid dispensaiy,; treatment, &c. » Tbe matter came up on report from the Her.lth Com- mittee and the clerk, Mr H F W Harries. The Health (loi-nniit tee, ,,Ppotte d that the Welsh Insurance Commissioners -had written, "stating'that, they were prepared to make5 a Small nominal'grant to thé,CoullCi1 out' of the grant of 11,500,000 proykled by Par- liament for the pi ovisioil of or making- grants. in aid to sanatoria for the treatment of tuber- culosis. and they proposed to do this to enable the Council to participate in a com- prehfensive scheme for the treatment of tttherculosis, and they ask ad whether the Council acquiegccd in Ihe procedure pro- posed, and if not that they should submit, an- alternative prepc^al. The committee under- stood that there were still a number of financial questions ar.d difficulties to be decided before they could recommend any definite^ Scheme or proposal. Th'ey had, however^ received from the County Medical Officer of Health the .outline or a dealing with tuberculosis, in the county, but, having Eeg-ard to, the financial questions., involved, they were unable1 at present to.. recommend the adopt ion of even an outlined scheme At the same, time they were extremely impressed- with the importance of preserving, as far as possible, the existing administrative areas and control in relation' to public health in the county, so .as to avoid any overlapping^and to preserve uniformity in the Supervision of matters relating to public, health.. v The Clerk informed the meeting that he received-tliat morning a copy of the agree- meuttheywere asked to enter into. HaVing read the Operative clauses of this-'document Mr Harries proceeded that it was reported to the Council that the Welsh National Memorial "Associatiou proposed to get inserted in the liiH to amend the Insurance Act now before Parliament amendments to I do away with the difficulties which that Council foresaw in joining the' Memorial Association in a comprehensive scheme. He understood those a.merdmentswere proposed, but were struck out of the Bill. T)2eie was nothing in the Bill to cover those difficulties. An amendment was to be moved by Dr. Addison,/ and seconded by Mr ,Astor, to authorise a. County Council to provide treatment for uninsured persons. Whether it would go thróugh or not be could not SXy' COMMITTED TO NOTHING. Lord Glanusk (chairman of the Council): 1 We are committed to the half-penny rate ? The Clerk: You are committed to nothing. Continuing, Mr Harries explained that the Council's resolution was to the effect that if certain. conditions were complied with they were prepared to b, ar a deficit up to the ampunt of a half-penny rate. Those con- ditions had not been fulfilled^ One was; I that a proper estimate shonld be submitted I to them from the proper quarter, and another was that every county in Wales and Monmouthshire should join in the same, scheme. As they understood from the papers, there were two Welsh County Councils who had now broken away from the I memorial scheme, and if that was so their I (the Breconshire Council's) resolution went by the board, and they would have to proceed by a new resolution. With regard to the treatment of uninsured persons, the Council had given no undertaking to raise a rate towards it, for the reason that they had not been satisfied what authority they bad to do f)tI. He bad put these points before counsel for his opinion, and until they got that his advice to the Council was that they ought to hold their hands. Hear, hear" from all parts of the room. The Rev. D A Griffith proposed that they act oh the clerk's advice. Colonel Garnons-Williams, who presided at the meeting of the Health Committee at which the matter was discussed, seconded the motion. Until they knew better where they were lie did not think they could do anything. « The Clerk further pointed out that under the draft agreement, the whole of the con- tjributions of the Welsh County "Councils up to a half-penny rate were to be pooled, and j 11 TIlEY HAD NO GUARANTEE J that their money would be used for the benefit of patients irorn Breconshire. ] Colonel Jones-Willifiins-: And we Irave lost the 94,000 Ereconshire contributed to the I Memorial. v .lI. lTIOflJ, The Clerk Th,:¡t is- capital expenditure. Colonel Jones-Williams i- It is gone. Tho Clèrk further observed' th;xt he; hl -stated the ()ouncilV difficulties ia an inter- view he had with two of the Coaimissiotiers, and they said they would explain them to the Chancellor of "the Exchequer, g clauses to ifekl with them put in the amend- ing Act of Parliament. Mr Conway lJ.oy.d- .Remarked, that they pit their difficulties v^y clearly before _Mr Evans r :,he memory he was there, and he distinctly told .them tliat the Act was going to be amended, to remove 1 the difficulties undor Section 17. Untjil that had been doiie, as far as he (Mr Lloyd) could seo, they had no busing to give -money to thfe memorial. Lord" Glanusk said, hie had that morning,, received a- letter from Mr David Davies .(founder and president of ,1iP Mernorjal Association)} tiu which he said he understoofl that a legal and technical difficulty HAd arisen as* to payments" of :0ounty 1'ouncil contribution^; and that their clerk was taking. counseFs o :icion." 'e hoped, the difficulty would bo shortly removed by tUe Insurance Act Air^dment Bj^ll.^ow, .before, the House of Common^. Mr Astor and l)r. Addison, raT,rez;eiti,ig hot mfies of the, House, had put down an amendment which would enable the "bounty Councils to levy a 41 rate, and therere the legal difficulty vould disappear. Members: Wait until it is removed. The Clerk The amen-lment of Mr Astor and Dr. i.ddison only remove one of the difficulties which,the County Council foresaw," an(i. that ia the question of the power to raise money for the treatment of uninsured persons. There is the larger question—whether you axe not bound to have before you all proper e^timi^es in • figures relating to insured persons and their i depecients, and to uninsured persons, -Aid to t-ep, that they are reasanztb]Le, bufo-o 3-ju guarantee an v deficit. Once you undertalie te flay tRe deficit you ana bound. --A The motion to act on the clerk's Advice was uhAiiimougly carried.

(Hear, hear.) Accidents would happen even in the surgery, out it was the duty of the committee of management to do all they could to render such accidents impossible—-(hear, hear)—-and if the rules were unduly, relaxed so as to make that I difficult, he, for one, would be sorry to remain responsible and it would be difficult to get a committee of management. U- doubtedly surgery had' made great strides of late jears* and the provision of an operating ro&m, equipped with all modern appliances for the work, had made it possible to perform operations with ease and safety which might have been attended \vi;h great danger before, with the result that the pro- portion of surgical to medical cases had increased very largely of late years. Under the Insurance Act there seemed to be little doubt that they must anticipate an increase of such cases rather than a decrease, as the tendency among panel doctors seemed to be to pass on cases requiring such treatment to hospitals rather than to treat them at home. lender those circumstances it would be well to consider whether two surgeons were sufficient for their needs, and though under ordinary circumstances they believed that that was the case, still exceptional cases did arise when neither of them was available. There was also a strong feeling among some of the medical men in the county that a. greater range of choice should be given, indeed some seemed to think the choice' should be practically unlimited. After c vreful consideration of all these points the committee decided to make a recommenda- tion to increase the surgical staff. I 1\1r11 F W Harries proposed the alteration I to the rule in the following terms: That rule 3 be altered to read that the medical I establishment shall consist of an honorary^; physician, two honorary surgeons, an assis- tant honorary surgeon, and a house surgeon." Supporting the recommendation Mr Harries made a few remarks concerning' the character of the institution and the objects it hoped to attain. He feared that there had gone' abroad some light miscon-^ ception' as to the objects of tha Institution. It was a voluntary establishment supported by voluntary donations and the honorary. staff g-ave their services., The. Infirmary was open to receive' all "fctiitibie c--seti, but be did not think it. was true that sulvs^HHer. from the ,-mere foot that rhey, ve donations io the hospital, had a right to ckim treat- ment there either for themselves -or persons whom they recohariended. If that was so they would be doing away with the whole character Of fne' Infirmary as it at present existed. Of course, ii; wa^ the case, as they all knew, that the committee of lit frtatf tmre to in certain-paving cas»sr-b»t when they did so it wtte uiMer the rules, and th^V were always iealoiis f liat they did not 'infringe in-ahy way npon the rights and priyi'eges of the suffering poor. It had been saggtdsfed that all members of I he medical profession who resided"*H'riit?

(Applause). lie did ttot want-to,draxv aftiy comparisons Jbet^een th6^e two -reons, Mn for many years Dr r: rmed the most difficuft surgica: qpaifdond, and Dr Francis had been very useful in taking operations whenever possible.

They .were tq a large extent de- pendent upun Dr Rees to carry out opera- tion, and that being so the committee thought it wise to a^ipoiritan 'distant r, I hoiiorary surgeon Whom they could fall y back upon.

Lord Glanusk said he was more or less respons¡le- fór,the questi<«j of tHe alteration of the rule, but he did not thmk the com- mittee were going far enough, ar.d he moved an"amendment that the words "and all such medical men as the committee shall from time to time appoint either temporarily' or permanently after proper notice has 'been given" be adat-d to the proposition. His lordship pointed out that the reason why the origiaal alieration was brought forward was that the committee .acted contrary to | tfee rules in taking an outsider to perform an operation it tlie Infirmary darincr Dr. absence. That naight arise again, and it would be a pity for them- to tie their bands, as he felt the original proposition would do. General Curteis seconded, and pointed out that in country districts a doctor became almost a general practitioner, and to prove the reason why he suppOiteà th amend- i ment he mentioned a case which rwmdyl occurred at the Infirmary in which an out- side doctor had to perform an urgent I operation, and stated that a doctor who carried out a serious operation in a cqttage with success would be useful on the staff. He asked the committee to avoid any risk by accepting the amendnient. ifr C. W. Best supported the amendment, and aid that Lord Glanusk had put forward very sound advice. Colonel Jones-Williams feared" the diffi- culty Would not be overcome by Lord Glauusk's amendment. Dr. W.
