Luton Hoo to host children's festivities

[The Luton News: Thursday, September 11th, 1919]

Lady Wernher has telegraphed from Harrogate that she is very pleased to give the use of Luton Hoo Park for the senior children's festivities on Thursday next, and last night another meeting of the committee which is organising the scholars' festivities was held at the Education Offices in New Bedford Road and all the principal arrangements were fixed up.

Mayor 'right to give up municipal office'

[The Luton News editorial comment: Thursday, September 4th, 1919]

The Mayor of Luton attended the meeting of the Board of Guardians on Monday [September 1st], for the first time since the unfortunate happenings of July, took his place as chairman and made a statement as to his personal position. From this it appears that that he is still no better, that he is in fact so unwell that he does not feel the slightest interest in public matters at present, and that “he does not expect that he will be able to take part in public matters for a few years”.

Henry Impey's crowning blunder

[The Luton Reporter: Tuesday, September 9th, 1919]

So the climax has come! The Mayor has reconciled himself to the inevitable, and decided to end his public career in local life.

Absentee Mayor chairs council meeting

The Mayor of Luton (Councillor H. Impey), who has been absent from the town for the greater part of the time since the night of the riots on July 19th, was present at Tuesday's meeting of the Town Council. In explaining his absence from the meetings held in the intervening time, he also stated that he proposed to continue to hold the office of Mayor till his successor is appointed in the normal course in November, and then for health reasons to vacate all his public appointments.
