MAYOR'S WARNING.
IGNORED BY GALLERY.
EXCITEMENT AT MEETING.
DEBATE ON FIVE-DAY WEEK.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
CHRISTCHURCH, this day.
Because a large and excitable gallery at the meeting of the Christchurch City Council last evening expressed itself too loudly in favour of a statement by Mr. A. E. Armstrong, the Mayor, Mr. D. G. Sullivan, M.P., declared the discussion adjourned temporarily, and the councillors retired to the Mayor's room. The Mayor's action was subsequently endorsed. The incident occurred during a debate on a five-day working week. Previously the Mayor had warned the gallery of the necessity for silence, but the warning had no effect. Mr. Armstrong moved a resolution proposing a five-day working week for city employees, which was lost. Only he voted for it.
