WATTON 233 



An Allotments Club has been started ; the 

 members pay 9d. a month as a guarantee toward 

 their rent ; 4 per cent, interest is paid on the 

 deposit - money. A credit bank is now being 

 established. It remains to be seen whether the 

 usual difficulty of getting the men to apply for 

 loans owing to the publicity occasioned by having 

 to come before a committee will be experienced.
