"COME TO DUNEDIN WEEK"

At a meeting held yesterday in connection with tho “ Como to Dunedin Week ” it was unanimously agreed that an appeal be made to all retail shopkeepers whoso business premises are situated within the proposed illuminated and decorated area to contribute a minimum sum of 5s each towards the preliminary expenses of the movement. As one of the main objects of the week is to bring visitors to the city and to stimulate trade generally, it was felt that the response to this appeal would be a generous one. A further meeting was held to consider the proposal to organise a ball as part of the festivities of the carnival week. The mayoress (Mrs R. S. Black) presided, and after discussion it was decided to hold an evening dress and poster ball in the Town Hall on June 2. Tho following committee was set up to make the necessary arrangements:— Mesdames Black (convener), H. Speight, J. M. MMndoe, A. Barnett, Guy Tapley, and K. Ross, Misses Bairnsdale and Coreen Brown, Messrs J. M. Samson, jun., H. Speight, G. A. Goughian, J. C. White, G. Errington, R. H. Steel, and W. S. Armitage. Various sub-committees were appointed to arrange for and supervise the poster section, supper, decorations, etc. The price of the ball tickets was fixed at: Double ticket 7s 6d, single ss, while a charge of 6d to tho spectators’ gallery was agreed upon.
