[FEBRUARY, 1912
the month of July the Council wrote to the
Board sending the opinion of Senior Counsel
(who had previously advised that owners are
entitled to compensation from Rural District
Councils in respect of the costs they are put
to in amending the agreements), and request
ing the Board to take steps to remedy the
matter to, which attention had been drawn,
or in the event of the Board not acceding to
this request, stating that the Council would
be glad to know the manner in which -the
Attorney-General suggests a decision of a
Court of Law on the point could be obtained.
Subsequently the President of the Society had
an interview with the Vice-President of the
Local Government Board, when the President
urged the desirability of a fee being fixed by
the Board in respect of the costs of amending
the agreements, to be paid by the District
Councils, but the Board declined to adopt the
suggestion.
A letter was now read, in reply, from the
Board stating " that it does not appear to
" be a matter within the province of the Law
" Officers to advise the Incorporated Law
" Society as to the manner of raising the
" question before a Court of Law."
The Council referred the matter to the
Costs Committee for further consideration.

It was resolved to write to the Secretaries
of County and Borough Councils expressing
the hope of the Council that provision will
