(6). Col.Cromptons Report was then discussed. Sir Gilbert Clayton East
severly criticized this. He pointed out that it contained many
inaccuracies; that though applauding the action of the County Council,
it gave no adequate reasons for their neglect of the these roads which
did not come under the reconstruction scheme; & throughout
represented the views of the County Surveyor with whom Col. Crompton
had collaborated. He much regretted that the Report had not been made
independently without consultation with the County Survveyor. The
Chairman agreed with him in this particular.
Various types of "reflex lights" were on exhibition at the Meeting. The
Chairman pointed out the great advantages of these simple devices for
slow moving vehicles on the grounds of economy, simplicity & safety.
