CARILLON LIGHT
COUNCIL WILL MAINTAIN
-The City Council last evening agreed that it would pay for the maintaining of the perpetual, light on the Carillon tower, £15 per annum, • <
The recommendation as brought before tho council was that-the cost should be found by the Electricity' Department, but Councillor C.H. Chapman objected, to a single trading department being asked to accept the responsibility, seeing'that the' Carillon is * national memorial.
The Mayor' (Mr. J. C. A. Hidqp)1 said that the matter had been discuss* ed very fully by the Electricity Com. mittee., The Carillon Society had -very little money, and: though "the memorial was a national one,-the city gained benefits from it, and the committee had thought that it would be rather churlish not to meet the society. **•' .Eeplying to-Councillor. J. N.-Wallace, the Mayor said the decision would not bind future councils. .Perhaps a better course would be for the council to pay the £15 per annum to the Electricity Department from unauthorised rttpendr. ture.
