Commenting on his retirement, the N.-C. Daily News says:-*

Outside business, Mr. Allen's principal concorns were golf, lawn bowls and Masonic affairs, and perhaps the latter in particular. The local Masons will feel hia loss very keenly, for he took the greatest interest in everything associated with the craft and, in addition to being organist of the Northern Lodge, he was District Grand Organist, E.C for 1 years. His mother lodge was Eilwia -ning,

In the presence of Mr. G. J. Turnbull, Chief Clerk, and all the officers of the sanitation division, Dr. C. Noel. Davis the Commissioner of Public Health, re ferred in feeling terms to the departure of Mr. Terrill.

Dr. Davis asked Mr. Terrill to accept a very handsome silver tea-service as a mark of esteem, wishing him and his family bon voyage and many happy years of retirement in Devonshire, Mr. Terrill's native county

Mr. Terrill, expressed his gratitude and appreciation in a few suitable words. He drew attention to the fact that sub- ordinate officers of the Council were now able to retire at a reasonable age through the forethought and consideration of the Council. Thanking his colleagues for the beautiful present, he expressed a hops that they would each in the fullness of time attain to a similar happy consum- mation. He assured them of a hearty welcome at his home in Stoke Gabriel, Devonshire, should they at any time call on him.
