AT Bromsgrove Petty Sessions Charles Bowden was charged with riding a motorcycle in the Alcester Road at Tutnall at a speed which was dangerous to the public. Police constable Hayes deposed that the defendant rode past the dangerous corner at Tutnall at 25 miles an hour. He signalled the defendant to stop, and he did so in about 90 yards.

Defendant admitted he was driving between 18 and 20 miles per hour, but he was a stranger to the road and did not know the dangerous corner.

He was fined 20s and 22s costs.

 DROITWICH Town Council was faced with the very serious question of raising the High Street, owing to the subsidences which had taken place in recent years due to the pumping of brine.

Similar subsidences had taken place at Northwich where heavy beams of wood and steel had been placed in the foundations of new buildings, so that when the ground sank, hydraulic jacks could be put to use in the corners of the buildings, using a few pints of water to raise them.
