LINCOLNSHIRE LAND AGENTS’ ASSOCIATION.
The annual meeting of •the Lincolnshire Land Agents’ and Tenant-right Valuers’ Association was held at the Central Sale Room, Lincoln, on February 3. Mr. C. J. Calthrop, as the retiring president, named Mr. John Royce as the elected vice-president for 1899, and addressed the meeting upon his retirement, and then Mr. C. W. Tindall, F.S.I., of Wainfleet, the president for the year, took the chair.
Mr. W. F. Turner (of Sleaford), Mr. W. A. Richardson and Mr. J. Taylor (Mayor of Louth) were elected members of the committee in the place of those who retired by rotation.
The financial statement, reporting an increase of funds to the amount of £20, was passed, and the auditor (Mr. F. Bartholomew) was thanked for his services, and received a grant of £5 5s. in respect of his services for the past five years.
A long discussion took place upon the notice of Mr. W. H. Godfrey, “ That the allowance for basic phosphate be extended.” After full consideration of the proposal, and of several amendments, the following was agreed upon, viz.,
“ Pasture land, on a three years’ principle ; roots, the whole cost of that used with the last year’s crops ; meadow, half the cost of that used for the crop of hay cut during the last year of the tenancy.”
The proposal of Mr. Saul with regard to the trimming of hedges was 'lost.
As there was not time to discuss the action of the Notts Association in reference to the proposed Agricultural Holdings Bill of Mr. Ohan-ning and others, the consideration of it was deferred.
The members, to the number of 53, afterwards dined together at the Saracen’s Head Hotel. After dinner and the honouring of the loyal and other toasts, the question of the proposed amendments of the Agricultural Holdings Act was referred to by the president, the retiring president, Mr. Hanson (chairman of the Notts Association), and others. The action of the Notts Association was commended, and it was considered that several clauses of the Bill must be stoutly opposed by the several associations.
