THE Constable of St Helier, Mr Fred Clarke, denies any knowledge of the system which requires recipients of welfare to produce estimates for items such as children's shoes. The Island's beer and spirits suppliers fall out over pricing policy. Le Masuriers put up beer by 4p or 5p a pint and spirits by 2p a tot, but Ann Street and Randalls put up beer by only 3p to 4p a pint and spirits by 5p.
Public Works launch a fierce attack on the opponents of the flooding of Queen's Valley in a 60-page report on water resources, rejecting the campaigners' 10,000-signature petition and accusing them of producing false information and rejecting the democratic process.
An equally strong reaction is registered by the campaigners, however, Advocate Richard Falle calling the report "deliberately and grossly offensive".
The committee set up to investigate glue sniffing and other forms of solvent abuse announces its intention to present a report to the States.
Post Office director Mr Mike Orbell re-leases figures which show that a record number of letters were posted in Jersey in 1985. Altogether, the Post Office dealt with 24,728,609 letters and packets in that year.
All three of the Island's oil firms reach agreement over a pay dispute. Employees at Petroleum Distributions Jersey Ltd., Fuel Supplies and Channel Oil Marketing had been in dispute over a pay award.
Former States Senator John Averty, the managing director of Modern Hotels, replaces Mr Colin Sutton as a director of Jersey Gas Company.
