TitleTown clerk's file relating to application for the 1913 provisional order for County Borough Status
DescriptionIn June 1913, following a resolution of Cambridge County Council to appose the Borough's application for a provisional order to grant Cambridge Borough County Borough status and the recommendation by the County Councils Association that no Borough should be constituted a County Borough unless it has 100,000 inhabitants, the town clerk, JEL Whitehead, sent out letters to County Boroughs, Municipal Boroughs and Urban District Councils requesting the support of their local MP for the second reading of the confirming bill. This file comprises the letters for response sent to this appeal and a following appeal in Feb 1914 for support for the third reading of the bill. It also contains an annotated list of City and Borough Councils that have intimated their intention to ask their member of parliament to support the bill, a carbon copy of a letter from M Spalding to Mr Paget with an update, 28 May 1913; and three letters regarding the attitude of the President of the Local Government Board.
