HARBOUR BRIDGE CHARTER.
- ~ ao suggestion was made at tie 3Sorfhcote4'' ' Borough Council meeting that tlie counelPs « current donation to tie Harbour Bridge Association would be diverted to tie funds of tie company being formed. It was mads • ' , clear that the remittance of the amount voted' to the association was delayed so that members could become acquainted {and give ' expression of opinion thereon, if need'he) hi respect to the new policy of the Bridge Asso- J ciationjn promoting a company in the hops of obtaining a charter for the exclusive^ight, to build the bridge. He difficulty that would' Vl l arise in making future contributions, however, was emphasised. The legal barrier ■ bodies becoming shareholders in the '"charter company" would effectually preclude these.,from participating in any profits or losses accruing from the operation of such con. ■' struction company. Could these local bodies, - hitherto well disposed towards the bridge project, continue making donations to the Bridge Association to function £heV. purpose of "propaganda work for tie cam--pany J" Local body support would hare noc:. outlet if the Bridge Association went out of V existence. There is the ever-present danger that opponents of the bridge could secure-a.' controlling interest in a '•"■charter company," 3 and so prevent any bridge being erected. ,* ' MAYOR OF XORTHCOTE.
