There appears to be some misapprehension as to the communication made to the urban district council. This was a suggestion that if the billets required for children could not be obtained by the usual procedure within a limited time, it would be necessary for the council to consider resorting to their compulsory powers. I understand that the council expect that it will be necessary to take this course and that arrangements will be made for increased supervision by voluntary welfare workers in all cases in which children are compulsorily billeted.
