HISTORIC PARK
Council Mav Help
The City Council last evening favoured a suggestion that it should buy land at Ferrymead for the Historic Park and Museum of Science and Industry, but before giving a final decision asked for an investigation of the legal position whether it had authority to purchase land out side its district. The parks and recreation committee asked the finance committee to consider buying 49 acres 27 perches and holding it in trust for the park and museum. The council also considered a request, although no formal application had been made, for the Ferrymead bridge, now being replaced, to be given to the museum. It agreed that the bridge would be given to the park “as is, where is,” and subject to satisfactory arrangements being made for clearing the remainder of the bridge site.
