The community was badly hit by the war and the cost of erecting a new theatre for 1022, combined with n falling off in the demand for their goods, left them in debt for several years.

Oil From Coal Undependable For Emergency
London, May 18.
The Government has accepted the recommendations of the Falmouth Committee-- sub-Committee of the Committee of Imperial Defence heed- ed by Lord Falmouth-regarding the production of oil from coal.
The Committee recommended that
the policy of depending on imported
ol supplies in time of war, with adequate stor
storage, was the must re- ilable and economical means of pro- viding for an emergency.
It was re commended that Government place no reliance in war time on supplies of all from indigenous sources, and the grant of direct financial assist- unce for the establishment of further oil-from-coal plants should be dis- continued.
The Committee favoured the ex- tension for D further period of twelve years of the guarantee extend- ed to include diesel oil for use in motor vehicles. An increased rate from fourpence to eightpence how- ever, was recommended for this type cruel, Reuter.
