I do| not anticipate any trouble in getting public co-operation,” I he said. Mr Shelley said that there! :was no suggestion that the; ;new 85ft-high lights ini 'Cathedral Square would bej ’turned off. I But there was a possibility: that the electric clock on top, lof the Government Life In-! Isurance building would be’ (turned off.
