BEQUEST TO CITY
Conditions A Problem

Smith, chairman of the finance committee, yesterday when he welcomed the gift to the city of a home in Hackthorne road and the rest of a retired farmer’s estate to run a home. The council would do its utmost to co-operate in carrying out the wishes of the testator, Cr. Smith said, but there would need to be investigation and a report on the special conditions of the bequest.
