PAINT-SPRAYER FOR

TRAMWAYS.

MR. W. H. MURRAY EXPLAINS.

>■ "What particular information do you want?" asked the Mayor (Mr. G. Bail;doin): ait meeting of the City Council last evening, when I. Kalman, wrote stating that Mr.W.H. Murray, a member of the council, had asked for details of a car-epraying plant supplied to the tramways department. The writer understood that the information was sought by Messrs. Murray and J. R. Lundon. The writer considered that Mr. Murray should apply to the council for any information required. Mr. Murray said that the inquiry was nothing very particular. He did not know why the letter had been written or 'how the writer "had got it into his wise head" what the information was required for. "If I stop to speak r to a man in the street I am accused of associating with somebody," added Mr. Murray. A .Councillor:' Only one. (Laughter.) Mr. Murray: There are some I would refuse to associate with. (More laughter.)

Proceeding, Mr. Murray said that he was entitled to get information from any reliable source.

Mr. J. A. C. Allum said that the plant in question cost fIOO and was giving every satisfaction. The Tramways Committee was prepared to give Mr. Murray or any other councillor any information sought. The Mayor said that as the tramways department was prepared to give any information nothing further was necessary.
