so The bank had repeatedly called upon trie directors to reduce the guarantee and an agreement iiad been reached whereby tuey were responsible tor a guarantee of £3lK0 If the transfers were not taken into remarked Mr Dear deficit of £735 would be shown and that clearly shows that we need more money We want £8410 a year more than we are getting to make us self-supporting and the public ought to support us A inousand more people at League matches would bring in £1050 leaving a net result of £635 and five hundred more at reserve games would bring a net amount of £218 That is the only way we arc going to make the ciub pay Our average attendance for English League matches is 3802 and for reserve fixtures C15 We ought to be able to get 4500 to see the first team play Our total gross gates

A new Act affecting housing makes it important that any landlord of a house the ratable value of which did not exceed £13 on April 1 1951 claiming it to be decontrolled should register such property ith the local authority not later than October IB next The Act concerned is the Rent and Mortgage Interest Restrictions (Amendment) Act 1953 which effect considerable changes in the law relating to the restrictions hitherto binding certain types of bouses As from September 29 1955 broadly speaking all houses in the country (not in London or Scotland) of which the annual amount of the recoverable rent or the ratable aiue as on April 1 1931 did uot exceed £55 will remain controlled Houses above this limit Will be decontrolled THE LIMIT In the Metropolitan police districts in the City of London and in Scotland the limit is £45 Any dwelling-house to which the Kent Acts apply and which consists of or comprises premises licensed for the sale Of intoxicating liquors for consumption on the premises wilt as from September 29 1955 become decontrolled whatever their annual value may be Small houses moreover are specially dealt with While A is still possible for a controlled house under the new Act that is a house whose recoverable rent or ratable vain ji does not exceed £35 to become decontrolled in certain circumstances as laid down by the Act of 192 i the provisions of this Act enabling a house to become decontrolled will cease to apply to a home in BugUaJ outside London- the ratable value of which did not exceed £13 on April 1 1931 These houses will never becoMte decontrolled so lone as the nw Act remiins on the Statute-book in its present form There is however a safeguarding provision in the act affecting houses whose rateable value does not exceed £13 and vhich might have liecome decontrolled before the passing of the present Act by virtue of the operation of Section 2 of the Rent Restrictions Act 1923 that is to say where the landlord was in possession of the whole of the dwelling-house at the passing of the 1923 Act or has come into possession of tlie whole of the dwelling-houv? aKanv time rfter the passing of the 1923 Act and before the passing of the 1933 Act on July 18 last In such a case where the landlord of a property tlie rateable value of which did not exceed £13 on April 1 1931 claims that his property has already become decontrolled by the operation of Section 2 of the Rent Restrictions Act 1923 he must within three months Lem July 18 1933 make uppttwitlmr in the prescribed form to the Council of the county borough or county district in which the house is situated tor the registration of the dwelling-house THREE MONTHS If he does not register within the prescribed time then the dwelliug-u although it might have been entitled to be decontrolled by virtue of the 1923 Act will be deemed to be a dwelling-house still ocn-trolled by the Rem Acts If the landlord should omit to i ake his application to the local atuhority ith-in three months and can satisfy ihe County Court judge that there was reasonable excuse for his failure to make the application the judge anay grant a certificate that the house be registered with the local authority If the house is occupied at the time the late registration will not remove protection lrom the tenant the landlord will have to wait until he again comes Into possession of the premises before be can treat the house as decontrolled SALUTE When It Is Given And When It Is Not A special order has been issued by Lord Trenchard Commissioner ol Police'lo the Metropolitan force drawing special attention to the occasions on which the police should salute It is not a new order but as various police publications were not precisely in agreement the old

Colour whet displayed by inarching troops Sergeants and constables should salute an inspector also commissioned officers Of the Services when addressed by them and the salute should be invariably acknowledged Police in plain clothes should not salute in military fashion but raise their hats On special occasions when the King a foreign Sovereign or a member of the Royal Family or Minister of State is present police do not salute but stand at attention and keep a look-out for pickpockets attempts to break the ranks Anarchist outrages or attempts to approach the Royal carriage Boy Buried
