'Amid considerable laughter the Clerk announced that he had received a communication from the National Association of Women's Suffrage, wanting the board to adopt a petition in favour of female enfranchisement. Mr Bell: You must get Miss Becker to come. Mr John Haworth: I move that all women stop at home and mind their own business (laughter). The Chairman: Can you manage to keep your own at home?
