PROVINCIAL MEMORIAL
PETONE SCHEME APPROVED
(Special to the "Evening Post.") MASTERTON, This Day. A proposal that the Wellington Provincial Memorial be a swimming pavilion and hall on the Petone beach was approved by local body representatives from Pahiatua to Martinborough at a conference held in Masterton yesterday afternoon. The proposed allocation of the total cost of £10,000 was also agreed to. The meeting considered that the allocation was a most just! one.
It was decided that there be no district Centennial celebration but that each local body decide its own particular form of celebration and fix a date.
The conference agreed to commend to the public the suggestion of repairing the Maori meeting-houses at Te Ore Ore and Papawai. The Maoris, it was hoped by the meeting, would do something themselves to raise funds for the work. Mr. T. Jordan, Mayor of Masterton, said the Government would not recognise such work as a Centennial proposal when considering the matter of granting subsidies.
