ONE THING OR ANOTHER.
"What advantage did the city gain when it took Scorching Bay over from the Land* and Survey Department, asked Councillor M'Keen. Why was it given the council? The Mayor: "ITor a domain."
If it was to bo a domain, said Councillor M'Keen, then let the council decide once arid for all to make it a domain, and turn the occupiers oft', otherwise the course to take was that suggested by Councillor Semple. Councillor W. H. Bennett said that should the bay develop,in future as it lad in the past it would become a distinct menace to tho public health. He thought that the council had done the right thing in fixing a term of five years. .' ■
Tho increase in the rental was 1-10 per cent., remarked Councillor W. Applctori, and lie considered it was not justified.
Tho Mayor said that personally ho did hot think 'that'the. council' should increase the rent unless some more'service was given. He though that the rent was too high and tho term of iiotico too short.
. After further discussion, the matter was referred back to the Reserves Committee for further consideration.
