Andrewes said that the taxi was one of the new ones and the brakes had not been properly adjusted. The car was due for attention the next day. He suggested that a warning would be sufficient..

SHIPPING MOVEMENTS.
Jordans is a 'bit of 17th-century Englund. I cannot understand
this passion for wanting to go through places. If this scheme succeeds, there will be no more walking to Jordaps, and our legs will become atropbied!
It is bad enough to have Ameri- can millionaires falling out of their cars on to our roads, but when it comes to having to re- move your mother's grave and the village cross to make a road so that someone can
go from Manchester to Margate, I think it is time we protested. Lieut-General Sir A. Hamilton Gordon, who was the chairman at Saturday's meeting, said:
"
I understand that this road is to be one of the main arterial roads to beavy traffic, part of the scheme of circular roads for diverting traffic from London. To all who know the lovely val- ley of the Jordans, including those Friends all over the world to whom this spot is sacred,, this new road is unthinkable.
The attitude of the Amersham rural district council has been sympathetic; they invited critic ism after drawing up the plan. At Saturday's meeting a resolu tion was passed asking the Ministry of Health to give an op- portunity to the Council for the Preservation of Raral England and others interested to be heard before giving sanction to Amer sham's town-planning scheme.
