POLICE STATION
DELAY IN SELECTING NEW SITE MINISTER’S CRITICISM “If they don’t fix it up soon I will have them build the station on the old site,” declared the Minister of Transport, Mr. O’Brien, this morning, when asked if any progress had been made with the selection of a site for the new police, station for Greymouth. “The plans are drawn and £35.000 has been put away—the money is there —and the final selection of another site is all that is preventing a start from being made with the work,” said the Minister. “We have aone all we can do and it is up to the people here to settle on the site.” Asked who was responsible for the selection of the site, Mr. O’Brien stated that the police themselves had to attend to this aspect.
“They say it is no good / down there (Gresson street) for-the new station, the land bhing low and the site open to the ‘barber’ and the cold, but that is where the new station will be built if something As not done very soon,” he concluded.
