Noted with regret.The Chairman informed the Board that the Chief of County Police had taken a material interest in the fires and haddetailed six plain clothes men from Uckfield for detective duty on the Forest generally.During a debate that ensued Mr Owen suggested that instead of the plain clothes men roaming over the Forest theyshould have a list of the men most seriously expected and should watch their cottages and individual movements.It was Resolved that the Rangers confer with the Superintendent of Police at Uckfield with a list of the times ofoccupation &c., with a view to selecting three most seriously suspected men and having them watched.It was proposed by Major Barrington seconded by Mr Haslam and unanimously Resolved that Mr Owen be electedto the Fire Committee.It was proposed and duly seconded that the Chief of County Police be invited to attend the proposed FireCommittee meeting to be held on 10th April, 1933.It was Resolved that the matters arising out of the East Grinstead Town Planning Scheme be referred to the FireCommittee.[signed] H.R.

Barrington, D.S.O.Mr J.R. Owen.with Col. G.M. Ormerod andSupt. Edwards.(An apology for absence was received from Mr. G.D. Haslam.)The Committee generally reviewed the present position and during a discussion the following matters were dealtwith.1. Col. Ormerod who attended at the request of the Board of Conservators informed the Committee that 40 fireshad been reported to him burning an area of approximately 1,200 acres.2. Among the possible grounds for grievances of Commoners against the Board were mentioned the carrying ofguns and the royalty payable to the Lord of the Manor on the amount of gravel dug from the Forest. Neither ofthese comes within the jurisdiction of the Board but Ranger Kirby reported that the royalty on gravel had just latelybeen doubled.3. It was proposed to institute a closer watch on three suspects and in furtherance of this object, Col. Ormerodgave his undertaking to substitute two older and more experienced men in place of two of his present staff of sixyoung men.4. It was further suggested that one man arrayed in suitable disguise should frequent the Colemans Hatch Inn butthis was left for detail and arrangement to the Superintendent who should use his discretion as to the course to befollowed.5. Mr Owen promised to furnish more precise information as to the hours and nature of employment of thesuspects in his area and suggested that the watchers and beaters be pressed for similar information.1. TOWN PLANNING. The Committee then considered a proposal to widen several roads across the Forestcontained in the preliminary statement of the East Grinstead R.D.C. Town Planning Scheme. The Committeereconsidered the several decisions reached by their Town Planning Sub-Committee on the 6th November, 1930,which had been communicated to the Town Planning Surveyor of East Grinstead the same month.Mr Owen thereupon proposed, seconded by Major Barrington that the Committee adhere to their formerrecommendations that the Clerk lodge a formal objection with the East Grinstead R.D.C., pointing out that thereappeared no necessity to prescribe building lines over the Forest.2. An application was read from Mrs. Bond to lay pipe drains under the road for which a License was granted lastyear. It was Resolved that the same be approved subject to the consent of the Lord.[signed] H.R.
