Only files not being photographed will be discussed here.<br /> <br /> DSIR 12/318<br /> <br /> This was ordered because it has a paper dealing with &quot;economic justification of road works,&quot; which is the PIARC title for a must-get paper by C.T. Brunner which was later published by the BRF as &#039;Road pence, road sense&#039;. However, the main burden of this file, which is a collection of RRL research reports in typescript--as is usual for DSIR 12 pieces--is materials testing in colonial areas. This file is being returned. (Finding from a stop at the LSE Library later today: &#039;Road pence, road sense&#039; is not in fact a republication of Brunner&#039;s paper--it is rather an &quot;account&quot; of it in &quot;everyday English,&quot; i.e. with all of the interesting stuff stripped.)<br /> <br /> MT 6/3397<br /> <br /> This file deals with Lloyd George&#039;s unemployment proposals of 1935. A &#039;Times&#039; article of 1935-02-23 addressing them is not being photographed.<br /> <br /> MT 39/656<br /> <br /> Some correspondence relating to a loosening of funding constraint in Merseyside (in midst of 1948 expenditure cuts) not photographed because it was highly local in a general policy file.</div>
