Resigns
Mr J. E. Arnold James, the Town Clerk of Stepney, E., was appointed in November last elvil defence "dictator" of the borough.
Recently it was announced that he had resigned that post.
The Ministry of Home Security stated that Mr James had asked to be relieved of his duties as A.R.P. controller.
Mr W. Erle Adams, town plerk of Islington, N., had been appointed to exercise those functions.
Mr James became the first civil defence "dictator" when the Ministrici of Home Security and Health, under the Defence Regulations, gave him fill powers formerly exercised by the Stepney Borough Council Emergency Committee,
Mr James was thus able to likeji inore
direct
action than was possible beforehand to dent with difleultics as the result of bombing.
He was a pioneer of the movement for bomb-proof shelters and arranged a transaction for raising the cost of construction without the sanction of the Home Office or County Council. The transaction was upheld by the courts.
