The Mayor: "Oh, no!"
Councillor P. Meadowcrof t, cliairmaii of the Reserves Committee, said that the rental amounted to 5s per week, which was in no way excessive. • Tho committee did not want the occupiers to traffic in the whares. \ Tho committee wished to make Scorching Bay a place of beauty, and it could not be that ■while some of the shacks remained. Any revenue that was obtained from the rentals would be spent.in improving the bay. Councillor-Semple said that at Happy Valley the rental charged was £1 per year; the rentals proposed for Scorching Bay were the highest for any part of the foreshore. If the council could n6t sell the land to the people who wore now occupying it,, and were willing to buy, then a greater security of tenure should be given. *
