§ Mr. SteeleFully equipped offices are open at Burslem, Hanley, Tunstall, Leek, Stone, Audley and Cheadle. One at Biddulph is to open on 7th February and another at Kidsgrove before the end of March. Premises have been found at Newcastle-under-Lyme, Longton and Chesterton and it is expected that these offices will be opened by May or June. An office is also to be provided at Uttoxeter but so far it has not been possible to find suitable premises.
