UPKEEP OF DOMAIN.

WOOLSTON'S POSITION. jfl The matter of apportioning v the cost «H of the upkeep of the Domain-amongst local bodies in and around Chrietchurch was- mentioned at last night's meeting of the Woqlston Borough Council. The' -M Mayor, Mr J. J. Graham, said that al- jj though Woolston' might not •be called . i * upon to contribute, it was, time that, the | borough made some movement with the object of protecting its own interests.- j His council had no endowmentsl as S sources of revenue, and was entity de- ' pendent upon the rates. Thj& Woolston Vr' Domain was not supported by any out- I side body, and without doubt it ':J of much.more benefit to residents' of "M Woolston than . the Christchurcfr ~~J| SeveraK other,-Councillors *| spoke to the- same, purpose, and - the : M Major and the Town Clerk, it was de- "*■*. cided, should draw up a statement •- ; setting forth, the reasons why the Woolston Borough Council should not pay anything towards the upkeep of the Domain.
