The Deputy Town Clerk read a letter from the Imperial War Graves Commission, expressing appreciation of the improvements carried out adjacent to the Zeebrugge plot since the Corporation took over the cemetery, for which they understood the Corporation were proposing to make no additional charge for maintenance. They were also interested to restriction on the size of memorials in the vicinity of the plot, The Clerk said he had Buckland churchiown received a letter from the Rector of Buckland, stating that the Church Council asked that the Committee should reconsider their decision to reduce from 15s. 7s. 6d. a quarter the payment in respect of heating, lighting and cleaning the church for funerals.
They pointed out that the Council was saved a very considerable sum of money through not having to erect and maintain a cemetery chapel, as they had to do in other cemeteries. Alderman Dawes asked what about other denominations, who held funeral claim services in churches. They did not anything. He moved that the matter be deferred until a better attended meeting. This was carried.

THE DOVER SOLDIERS' HOME, Five hundred years ago the famous Maison Dieu, at Dover, used to offer hospitality to soldiers of the British Armies in a religious atmosphere. This is the work that the Soldiers' Home has been carrying on for the last fifty-seven years. Its most valuable services were given during the period of the Great War, and very many ex-service men and serving soldiers must have happy memories of the hospitality of the Home, its home-like comfort, and the sympathetic friendship of the Lady Superintendent, Miss Hayes, and her mother. Founded in 1878 by a number of generous and seriously minded officers, who subscribed the money for buying and equipping the house in Snargate the Home gives cheap lodging and light meals, with nonalcoholic drinks, to serving soldiers.
It is open daily from early morning until near midnight, but it is not endowed and the heavy expense of its maintenance is never, in peace-time, covered by the small profits derived from the beds and refreshments. It is well patronised by the men of the four battalions stationed at Dover, and is generously supported by the for Brigadier financial and Officers. Beyond this it looks support to well-wishers of the general public. But as years go by, it is losing one by one its more generous patrons and the Committee are finding it hard to find others to take their place. The Home is now faced with a financial crisis, and the Committee recognise that if they cannot obtain further help the day is approaching when they must close it.
It would be a thousand pities if this valuable institution at the Gateway of England had to close its doors. Donations should be sent to the Lady Superintendent, The Dover Soldiers' Home, 157, Snargate Dover, or to the Hon. Treasurer, Col. F. E.
