PROPOSED MEDICAL OFFICER FOR NEWTOWN DISTRICT.
The Clerk (Mr. M. O’Connell) read a petition signed by a large number of ratepayers in the Newtownsandes and Leitrim districts, whose gross valuation represented £800 odd, requesting that a medical officer should be appointed from the districts named. Mr. Henigan asked if there was anything else before the board but the petition of the ratepayers. Clerk—Nothing else, sir. Mr. Henigan—Should not you have a petition from the clergyman of the district?, Clerk—Not necessarily. It is a matter entirely for the board. Captain Leslie—They got on for a great many years without one, that’s all I can say. Will it be any increase in the taxation? Mr. Henigan—I would like to see the clergyman stand up and take action. Clerk—The petitioners say it will be no increase in the taxation, inasmuch as they intend to dispense with the apothecary and midwife. Mr. Henigan—They were talking of grabbing last board day over the rate-collectors, but this would be regular grabbing to do away with the apothecary and midwife. Mr. O’Connor—Isn’t there a dispensary
in Newtown already ?
Clerk—There is. It is portion of the Listowel dispensary. Mr. O’Connor—And is not there another in Tarbert? Clerk—Yes. Mr. O’Connor—That is only five miles. That is not too far. Mr. Henigan—That is regular grabbing. Where will they put the midwife and the apothecary ? The matter was further adjourned.
COLLECTORS’ SURETIES.
The sureties tendered by Messrs. Henigan, Mulvihill, and Dove, for the collection of the rates and the administration of relief, were, after a discussion, accepted, and a notice was given that a resolution would be proposed that the board did not consider it necessary that the collectors should get a guarantee society to secure 20 per cent, of their sureties to the guardians.
I see that Mr, M Walsh from East Leitrim , an esteemed member of the community has died. He was mourned. By many people whose names I recognize, perhaps we are related. They are Walsh. ” cousins from “” – Ahern, O’Sullivan . The potential relatives would be 0’Sullivan, Ahern, Shanahan, Walsh, Kennelly from The Dorreen Athea area. Please respond .
Merry Christmas!
