WAR MEMORIAL

RFSOLITIOX OF SYNOD • A resolution defining the position of the war memorial to be erected in the square, and making certain stipulations, was agreed to at the opening session of the Anglican Synod yesterday. Mr If. D. Andrews moved:--That, as recommended by the Cathedral Chapter in its report, the Synod authorises the: chapter and the Church Property Trustees to permit the proposed war memorial to be placed in or about the middle of the grass plot on the north side of the cathedral, subject to the following conditions:- - (a; That if at any time in the future the kind be required for cathedral purposes the memorial shall be removed without expense to the chapter or cathedral funds, (b) That such condition be included in an agreement to be drawn up embodying the terms and conditions adopted by the Synod in its resolution passed in its session in 1931 (as -modified by this resolution). ' (c) That such agreement be formally completed by the proposed corporate body before the foundation of the memorial be placed on the cathedra] grounds. Mr Andrews explained that the motion would bring the memorial slightly nearer the cathedral than was provided by the resolution which was passed previously, but it would be very near to the middle of the grass plot on the north side of the cathedral. The reason for the precautions now taken was that it might be found at some future date that more accommodation was necessary, and that the cost of removing the memorial would not fall on the Cathedral Chapter. The motion was agreed to.
