Mr. Wolfson proposed, and it was unanimously resolved that the Clerk should withdraw this money and re-invest the same in Government Stock that would return 4% interest. E. Mr. Ian Lumsden, Holly Cottage, Nutley and his cars on the Forest. The Clerk reported that Mr. Lumsden had applied for a Licence to make a roadway across the Forest into Holly Cottage to enable him to park his cars inside his land, but as Lady Castle Stewart was the owner of this property the Licence would have to be taken out by her and he was at present negotiating with her Agents, Messrs. Wood and Walford. Mr. Lumsden had been informed that he must in the meantime discontinue parking his cars on the Forest land. 5. Dates of Meetings for 1955.

The Chairman informed the Meeting that he had inspected a part of the Forest near Morphew's Corner, Fairwarp, and that he had never seen the Forest so badly mutilated as at this spot; it appeared that Messrs. Turner of Lewes had a Contract to haul timber and had handed this on to sub Agents, Messrs. Brown of Crowborough, whose tractors had done this damage. The track leading to Mr. Morphew's Cottage was churned up to such an extent that Mr. Morphew could not move his vehicles in or out of his property. The Clerk reported that immediately he received the Ranger's Report upon this matter he had phoned Messrs. Brown's office at Crowborough and insisted that they put this track In order without delay. They promised they would got clinkers put down on the track the next day and immediately the weather improved they would fill in all the ruts. He had also written to all Timber hauliers in the district, informing them he would proceed against them under the bye-laws without further warning if they attempted to haul across Forest land without first obtaining permission from the Conservators.
