At the last session Of the County Council he. brought the matter up with the result that the County pays the bill and charges back 50 pel‘ rent. of it to Durham. These two cases alone should be sufl’icient to secure his re-electiOn, but the prinri ial one in our mind at time of writing is that he will be able to do even better work this year, if the experience of last counts for anything.
