Great big holes had been dug and the landscape destroyed, ruining the place as a resort and making it decidedly unsafe. He considered that the thing should be stopped immediately. v : Councillor M'Keen mentioned that inquiries had shown him that sand had been taken from the vicinity of the "Bun Around" for a number of years without tha council getting any royalty. - r, , It was decided that the whole matter should be gone into by the Eeserves Committee.
