RESIDENTS AND RATEPAYERS
Sydenham Proposes Incorporation
A recommendation that the Sydenham Residents and Ratepayers’ Association should become an incorporated body, thereby bringing it into line with other residents’ associations in Christchurch, was made at a meeting of the association last evening.
“Next year and in future we will have to get down to more serious things than just making small complaints to the City Council,” said the secretary (Mr F. Leigh). “As we are a free association of members, we ar* not equipped at present for the more serious type of work. Proceedings could be taken against officers of the association if they were unintentionally to say something out of place,” he said. Mr Leigh told the meeting that by incorporation this could be rectified and suggested the step should be taken if the association was to go ahead. “For one thing it would give us more status with other bodies for futyre negotiations,” he said. \ The committee decided to invite the association’s solicitor (Mr B. Paton) to its neat meeting to give advice on incorporation.
