Dec. 17, 1903: The Clay Center Dispatch, a newspaper in Clay Center, Kansas, carried an interesting story with a Johnson City dateline. âMaj. William H. Garland, aged 94 years, is dead at the national soldierâs home here. He had shaken hands with every president of the United States except Washington. He was in the naval cadet company that accompanied Lafayette on the second visit to America in 1822 and he at one time conversed with Napoleon on the island of St. Helena. Maj. Garlandâs wife and children were drowned in the Evansville, Ind. flood in 1884. He was for many years a Baptist minister.â
Cllr Dwelly (Independent) said that Cornwall would need £100million a year just to “stand still” and said he feared that the first year of the Shared Prosperity Fund (SPF), which would provide funding, could give Cornwall just £1.8m. Those claims were dismissed by St Austell and Newquay MP Steve Double who accused Cllr Dwelly of “misrepresenting” facts about the SPF and said that the council needed to accept Brexit and stop its “constant whining”. At a meeting of Cornwall Council’s Cabinet this morning Cllr Dwelly raised his concerns again about funding for Cornwall as he presented a report on Cornwall’s recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic and post-Brexit.
