A PAGE FROM THE PAST , TAURANGA FIFTY YEARS AGO “Ratepayer” writing in the Bay of Plenty Times of August 12, ISS9, stated:^ “The nasty way in which the Borough Council disposed of Mr Bodell’s application for leasing a portion of the Strand for fourteen years, showed that, either the Councillors were afraid of the Mayor, who by the way seems not to have had the common decency to leave the chair while the application was being discussed, or they were regardless of the interests of the ratepayers who sent them there. Such a thing as leasing any street in Tauranga is something altogether new, and to say the least, should not have been entertained without due consideration of the interests of the town in general and the adjoining property holders in particular.” Another paragraph read: — “A young man named W. Reeves met- with an accident last week while driving a horse and dray down Chadwick’s cutting at Waimapu. The horse fell down and the horse and dray rolled over down to the bottom of the cutting. One of Reeves’ wrists was badly shattered and he sustained a severe shaking.”
