Local Government.
An advertisement issued by the Local

tions from Solicitors between the ages of 25
and 40 years for the appointment of the
combined office of Clerk and Solicitor to the
Athlone District Council, whole
time, per–
manent, and pensionable, at salary of £300
per annum, rising by £10 yearly to a maximum
of £400 yearly, was
considered by
the
Council, and
the
following resolution was
passed:
" The Council having considered the
terms and conditions under which members
of the Solicitors' profession are invited to
make application to the Local Appoint–
ments Commission for the appointment of
Clerk and Solicitor to the Athlone Urban
District Council, expresses its opinion that
both the initial and maximum salaries
offered for the combined offices are wholly
unreasonable and inadequate. The Council
requests the Minister for Local Govern–
ment and Public Health to receive at an
early date a deputation from the Council
in reference to this matter."
