DISAPPOINTMENT IN OAMARU.
At Friday's meeting of the Oamaru Borough Council, a letter was read from Mr F. W. Wain, secretary of the Hakataramea Valley School Committee, asking if any arrangements were being made to send school children to Oamaru on the occasion of the Duke and Duchess of York passing through (says the "Mail"). This was read in conjunction' with the Premier's telegram that the Duke and Duchess of York would not stop at Oamaru. Mr Milligan objected to the settled policy of ignoring Oamaru which the Government followed. Mr Brown also thought Oamaru ought not to submit to be ignored in the way in which the telegram indicated. The same had been the case in the visit of the Imperial troops, the arrival of the contingents, and on other occasions. He moved that the Mayor telegraph to the Premier, asking whether it was* true that they proposed to lock the station gates when the train passed through, and whether the representatives of the public bodies would ba allowed on the station to welcome the Royal party. It was pointed out that his Excellency the Governor was responsible for the programme, and not the P_*emier. The. motion was seconded,-; and agreed to.
