(per pbess association. ) London, March 20. The Right Hon. C. T. Ritchie, President of the Local Government Board m the Salisbury Ministry, m moving the second reading of a Bill to provide for the extension of the principle of local government in -England^ said the Bill proposed to constitute County Councils. The larger towns would have separate Councils, irrespective of whatever Councils might, under a population basis, be established m the county m which such larger towns are situated. Three-fourths of the members of the Council would be elected by the ratepayers, the remainder being nominated. The duties of Licensing Committees would devolve upon the Councils, who inter alia would have power to compel the closing of public-houses on Sundays, and to adjust compensation claims where licenses were refused. It was proposed i under the Bill that the cost of licenses should be increased 20 per cent, Councils would be permitted to assist emigrants, and, with the Courts of Quarter Session, would jointly control the police. Local grants would be increased by the Metropolitan County itself absorbing the Metrppolitan Board.
