WENTWORTH HALL LEASE
Sir,—l noted in “The Press” on Saturday last a report of the letter sent to the Town Clerk by the Basketball Association, urging the City Council to retain the Wentworth Hall lease in the association’s Interests and suggesting that the City Council is not a commercial organisation. But I would emphasise that in levying and collecting rates with legal power to do so, it is a commercial organisation, and it is becoming an urgent matter that ratepayers should take protective steps to combat this dissipation of their hard-earned emoluments. The creation of a protective ratepayers’ association is overdue.— Yours, etc., L.H. September 17, 1951.
