The annual grant to the Public Library was applied for by the Town Clerk. A grant of £6O was made, and it was decided to point out to the Library Committee that the Trust expected its grant to be used for the purchase of literature and not for general expenses.

It was pointed out that the grant to the Park was originally made so as to keep the Park as clean as possible.
