Notes for CUTHBERT RODHAM MORRIS:
Chairmen of the Parish Council, North Curry - Mr. Cuthbert R Morris 1894-1914
Water - In 1913 the Chairman, Mr. C R Morris, explained the new Water Supply Scheme, but things did not run smoothly. The issue of poor supply is raised on many subsequent occasions through to 1961 and finally in 1967 when new pipes laid through the village brought complaints about poor road surface in Church Road and The Fosse. Presumably the water pressure was improved.
Fire - As early as 1906, after considerable bitter argument the Annual Parish Meeting voted not to buy and house a fire engine. This followed a suggestion of Parish Council disinterest to the point of opposition and therefore an earlier decision to buy a fire engine should be rescinded. The acrimony of the night was reflectedby the final minute, ‘The Chairman remarking, ‘You have lost your fire engine" brought the meeting to a close".
