[Printed document.] Motor Cars. Memorandum of the Cheltenham Rural District Council to the President of the Local Government Board, With reference to the recent Report of the Royal Commission on Motor Cars.

2pp., folio. Bifolium. In small type. Containing two copies of a printed circular by McIlquham, on Cheltenham Rural District Council letterhead, dated 14 September 1906. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. The memorandum is divided into five sections, and begins by putting the Council's position that 'Motor Cars travelling at high speed in dry weather along the unwatered roads of country districts occasion an intolerable dust nuisance to other users of the highway, and seriously prejudice the comfort and even the health of the inhabitants of road-side dwellings'. Consequently, the Council views with dismay the recommendation, by 'a majority of the Commissioners', that the 'present speed limit of 20 miles an hour' be abolished. The document proceeds to discuss 'more suitable remedies', with reference to the practice in foreign countries, the issuing of licences, and 'the use of the horn'.
