ASHBOURNE RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.
REPAIRING A BRIDGE &c.

A footbridge over the brook at Shirley had been damaged by the custom of leading an entire horse over it. — On the proposition of Mr. T. Goodall, seconded by Mr. J. Massey, the surveyor's scheme to erect posts at each end so as to prevent a horse from getting across was approved.
