"Addendum.
"Since the above report was presented at the last meeting,
I have inspected the Village Hall, Greenford, which was suggested
as a suitable place for a Welfare Centre. I am, however, not
prepared to recommend its use for this purpose. I have also further
considered Aberdeen House with a view to getting two rooms
instead of one, and I am pleased to report that I have been successful
in making arrangements by which two very comfortable and very
suitable rooms at Aberdeen House can be placed at the Committee's
disposal and by which caretaking and attendance can be obtained
on the very reasonable terms of 7s. 6d. per week.
