The Bucks Standard, July 11th 1896

PARISH COUNCIL. A meeting of this Council was held on Monday last, July 6, when there were present, Messrs. J. Olney (chairman), J. Luing (vice-chairman), C. Whiting, D. Cowley, T. Rainbow, and T. Osborne (clerk). The minutes of the last meeting were passed as read. A circular was received from Captain Williams, asking what course of technical instruction they proposed for the forthcoming session 1896-7. The Council were in favour of taking carpentering and ambulance classes but as the total amount to be spent was not to exceed £10, they decided in favour of carpentry upon the proposal of Mr. Whiting, seconded by Mr. D. Cowley. The new scheme for administration of the Poor’s Allotment and Lady Tyrril’s Charity gives the Council power to elect four feoffees on the Board. Messrs. J. Luing, J. Olney, D. Cowley, and T. Rainbow, were therefore elected to attend the next meeting of the ffeoffes. The clerk was directed to send their names to Mr. Pike (secretary). At the last meeting of the Council Mr. Onley and Mr. Luing were deputed to wait upon Mrs. Amos and lay before her the Council’s proposal for diverting the footpath leading to Cosgrove Mill through the meadows, in the occupancy of Mrs. Amos. They found her quite agreeable to the proposed change, and she thought it might be done with advantage to herself and to the public. The matter stands adjourned pending the decision of the Cosgrove Parish Council. Mr. Olney and Mr. Rainbow were asked to see Mr. Grove in reference to a stile dividing one of his fields and Mr. Whiting’s. It is very much out of repair, and requires prompt attention.
