ASSOCIATION'S REPORT
Tho tenth annual report o£ the Ngaio Progressive Association, to be presented at the annual meeting on Thursday, states that considerable success has rewarded the association's activities.
The Town Hall reserve was cleared and fenced, and access paths formed at the north and south entrances. Suggestions were made to the City Council as to the use to be made of the reserve, and a plan to be: prosecuted-as soon a« funds become available was being prepared. The executive was very active in trying to have the preliminary work for' swimming baths done by •jnemployed labour, but so far without success. As there would be some difficulty in obtaining the necessary x loan for the . erection of the baths urider the present Act, the City Council was asked to consider an, amendment to the Act to provide means for financing the work as soon as conditions return to normal.
