The Navy Holds the Baby: Steel Shortage: Winchester Drainage Scheme Held Up: A meeting of Winchester City Council held at the Guildhall yesterday. The mayor (Major J. R. Pinsent, D.S.O.) who was in the chair announced that the first section of Winchester’s large relief sewerage scheme would have to be postponed. The reason, he said, was that the contractors could not obtain the steel pipes owing to the demands for re-armament. “It is a question of waiting three of four months, and we shall be lucky if we get them by January,” the mayor remarked.
