MAKERS OF THE COUNTY: 8 A.J. Dreaver

The Chairman Supreme:
G.A.Monk

[Paragraph 1]

When George Alexander Monk retired from the county chairmanship in 1947 there was an outpouring of tributes: "a wise councillor ...a sound and just administrator...a beacon light...respect and esteem..."There is more than a touch of anxiety in thse eulogies: how could they cope without this paragon. he had held the post of chairman for 32 years.
