The Superintendent of Parks and. Reserves at Invercargill advised that, in a new agreement between his City Council and a Southland Labour union, it had been arranged that holders of the institute’s diploma in horticulture should receive higher remuneration on account of this qualification, and appreciation of this action was expressed. It was decided to advise district councils of the position. It was resolved to send a reply to the proposed national dahlia society, Hamilton, on the lines discussed.
