Since application was made to the Health Ministry for sanction to borrow £15,000 to tide aver current difficulties three counell- lors, S. Pask and W. Walters, La- bor, and J .Spencer, Independent, have been appointed as a "big three" to recognize rates collec. tion and sharpen the economy axe, To do this they are dismissing of- ficlals and workmen, and it is ru- mored that they will give notice of dismissal to all headmasiers and teachers at the town's 16 schools to revise salary scales. In an initial effort to economize the "big three" have given notice of dismissal to the assistant sur- veyor, a shop inspector, and 25 workmen, which means a saving of £1,950 in the next six months. They are also cutting down pub- lic lighting expenses and sum- moning rate defaulters by hun- dreds. Complaints against these meth- ods have been made and the Trades and Labor Council has suggested less drastic, though equally effective means of re- trenchment, Abertillery has been seriously hit by the fact that three of the biggest collieries have been closed down, hundreds of miners not hav- Hear the Kolster Electric--then compare prices.

MANCHESTER HEARS BLYSON'S SYMPHONY Manchester, Fob. 10.--The first performance by the Halle Orches- opera, heard in London a short time ago, was a striking success. Writing of the performance, the musical critic of one of the London papers says: "The symphony is full of vital ity and considerable charm. The performance was very vigorous with some striking themes; the most arresting portion of the first movement was a passage which saggested the onrush of a large mounted army. The slow move- ment is more peaceful in charac- ter, but, at the same time, has a suggestion of vigorous: action, "One passage, of which a good deal of use is made, is strangely suggestive of the well known glant stairs in Beethoven's Seventh Symphony. The finale is an effec- tive and bafiling movenrent, which suffers slightly from the fact that, like so many composers, Mr. Bry- son finds it difficult to finish. The great merit of the work is that it seems to go on coherently to a definite point. The orchestration is throughout effective, and the harmony, while free and flexible, is not too modern. The perform- ance was admirable, BEAUTIFY TOWNS BY WINDOW BOXES Country-Wide Competition in England in Summer Under Gardens Guild London, Feb, 10.--~In an effort to beautify the streets of towns the National Gardens Guild, whose ohces are in London, has decided to hold a National Window-Box Competition, followed at a later date by a National Gardens Com- petition.

The cost of living on December 81, 1927, the official figures state, was 68 points above the 1914 standard. The figure for food only was 62. This is a mid-winter low record since 1915. and shows a drop of 7 points and 6 pointe respectively since the beginning of the year. 'The lowest [figures reached since 1916 were 63 and 64 on Jupe 1 last. The table of average food-price increases, compared with July, 1914, is interesting. While the price of margarine, for instance, is 8 per cent up, that of fish is higher by 122 per cent., and of eggs 144 per cent. Bread is 62, milk 87, and potatoes 64 per cent up. The only articles of food shown in the statistics which, on balance, showed an increase in price during the year were butter, checse and eggs. The largest de crease during the year was in the price of bacon, which averaged nearly 33% pence per pound low- er at the end of the year than at the beginning. Coal on December 31, averaged 75 per cent. above the 1914 fig- ures, showing a drop of 20 per cent. from the corresponding Atg- ure just before the general coal stoppage due to the miners' strike in 1926. The dearest item in the "all items" list fs still clothing, which is 115 points above the 1914 standard. "You may take it as certain that food and other prices will continue to drop during the spring months," a representative of a West End store says. "Butter and eggs will fluctuate, leather and linen will rise, but the average re- duction in the cost of living wal continue steady."
