Mr. J. Griffiths

Subject to premises being obtained, I am proposing to start with local offices at Appleby, Kendal and Windermere. There will also be offices in the adjacent counties which will be conveniently situated for certain districts of Westmorland, namely, at Penrith, Keswick, Barnard Castle, Ulverston and Barrow. In addition, I am examining the need for special arrangements in the sparsely populated areas.
