Mr Will said bis idea was that a commit tee should be formed to arrange for the pro ceedings during the. day and that the looal clergy should be ippresentf d on it, just as was done on the death of the Queen. As to the religious servioes on that day, it might resolve itself into into eaoh church holding a service of its own or the Borough Council arranging for a special service in the Town Hall, at which those clergy who desired might attend. He would like to see a com mittee formed to take the whole business jntd" oonsideration and make arrangements. Tbe Chairman agreed and thought the clergymen of the various religious bodies should be asked to attend.
Mr Wakefield thought the committep already formed was a very good one and if they required any more assistance to com plete the programme they oould be got. He thought, however, it was already a good re presentative committee.
Mr Jfffery agreed and sa,id during the 40 years he bad been in Lawrenoe he bad never found clergymen any use on committees. He also objcotf>d to clergymen nn a working com mittee of that kind.— (Lond laughter.) Mr Ginger said the olergv did not want to be on the committee. They had nearly every institution in the town represented on the committee except the churches.
Mr Wakefield did not understand why Mr Ginger should complain. If they inoluded everyone they might as well make the town a committee at onoe.
Mr Arbuckle seconded the motion approv ing of tbe names read out as a committee.
Mr Christie seconded Mr Haggitt's amend ment which was put to the meeting and car ried, and the clergymen named were accord ingly added to the committee.
