City Council
A meeting of the City Council was held last night. Present – His Worship the Mayor, Councillors Diver, Danks, Stafford, Allen, Logan, Maginnity, Fisher, Miller and Greenfield. Councillor Danks having complained of the engineer’s estimate having appeared in connection with the amounts of the tenders for the Wainuiomata tunnel, the Town Clerk explained that through an inadvertence it had been obtained by the reporter of the morning paper, but it would not occur again… Some discussion arose on the probability of the Harbor Board charging the Council dues in connection with the landing of the waterworks plant at Wainui-o-mata. It was pointed out that it would be most unfair if this were done, inasmuch as the Corporation had allowed about a million pounds’ worth of Government property to be landed at the Queen’s Wharf without charge. It was suggested that the Minister for Public Works should be interviewed on the subject, but the Mayor pointed out that that would be of no use, and that the only course was to send a deputation to the Harbor Board. No definite action was, however, taken in the matter.
