We could not have two sets of roadmen working, probably under different conditions, on the same area.
The roadmen employed by urban district councils are not in the same position.
The only differentiation occurs in the case of roadmen.
We propose to build 240 cottages for roadmen in the county area, but perhaps only half-a-dozen will be necessary to be built in the forest.
This matter agitates the minds of roadmen in my county very much.
In one area roadmen had been left working and the road contractors' drivers were bringing tar to the roadmen.
I hope that the needs of roadmen and other outdoor workers will be met in this way.
I do not know, when they retain the power to pay roadmen by cheque, whether that is in the public interest or not.
