be  an allowance made to each of the old inmates of tea and tobacco. Mr. 
GRAHAM  seconded the motion, and it was agreed to. It was decided that the House  
Committee carrying out the arrangements with the master.
 
Mr. KENWORTHY gave notice of motion that the salary of Mr. HARTLEY,  
assistant overseer at St. Bees, be increased in accordance with the  recommendation of 
the Parish Council.
 
The Clerk, (referring to a letter from the Whitehaven overseers forwarding  
copy of a resolution that the duties of the assistant overseer having been  
increased, the Board of Guardians be recommended to add to his salary a sum  
equal to that paid to Mr. TELFER, the late assistant overseer) said that they  
could deal with that when they got Mr. TELFER's  superannation allowance  
settled. Mr. TELFER's allegation was that he had lost £107 a year by this  change. It 
was agreed that it be reported to the Relief Committee to report to  the 
Board. Mr. DEES gave notice of motion that the salary of the industrial  trainer 
be increased. - It was agreed to advertise for tenders for papering and
