RED TAPE
SCHOOL TRENCHES PERMIT
"I thought I'd read you this rigmarole to let you see the way in which the Department was handling this subject," said the Mayor last Monday evening when discussing the communication from the Minister of Education relative to the digdi.ng of shelter trenches on the local school grounds.
The letter together with a lengthy resume of details to be observed in the event of application for a subSidy took some time to read and disclosed an intricate maze of procedure commonly known as 'red tape.'
"I came to the conclusion that by the time we worked all this out the Avar would be over," said Mr Barry. "So I therefore decided to authorise the construction without delay. The result is that most of the trenches are now dug and we can go into the matter of a subsidy later." He added that he desired to congratulate the Borough staff officers all of whom were present throughout the day. He regretted that he could not say the same of the Borough Councillors all of whom were conspicuous by their absence. However there Avould be a further chance for them to assist in the same direction next Saturday and thus give a lead to the residents.
