Drain bill declined
.The piping of an open/ drain . which; runs between two Papanui"// car-parks should be paid for in part by the Christchurch . Drainage Board, according to a board member, Mr J. G, Freeman.
The drain runs through the car-parks between Wyndham and Horner Streets. The land is in two titles and both are owned bv Papanui Holdings, Ltd.
.Mr Freeman told the board that it should pay .half the. cost because it had “moral responsibilities” to clear up the matter, but his suggestion was defeated. The board’s chairman (Mr J. de C. Hanafin) said the local business benefited from the car-parks, therefore they should pay for the drain.
