THOSE FLOODLIGHTS.

WHERE ARE THEY?

AIEMBERS IN THE DARK

The whereabouts of the new floodlights to he installed on Prince Edward park was a mystery that remained unsolved at the Papalcura Town Board meeting on Monday. subject of these mysterious lights was introduced in a letter from the secretary, Mr R. C. Williams, of the Papakura Rugby League Club to the board in which the question was asked when the muchtalked of brilliant centres of illumination would be installed. Mr H. E. McEntee said he did not know whether the lights had come to hand or not. Turning to the foreman, he asked, “Do you know anything about them?”

The foreman said he had not received them. Mr G. F. McDonald: Where are the lights ?

Mr McEntee said he understood they were in the town. Mr D. Weir: It’s most unsatisfactory; a piece of had business. These boys wanted a practice the other night on* a bit of dry land. The thing’s desperate, Mr Chairman; write the principals about it, he added.

Mr McEntee: As soon as they are available, erection will be put in hand. Mr McDonald suggested that as the lights cost £9O apiede, they should be brought back in a case to the boa»‘d office after use. They are too costly to leave hanging about with no one in particular in charge. Some sort of care was necessary.

The matter of discovering where the lights are was left to the chairman who is to see that they are erected as soon as possible.
