SHOW ON THE DOMAIN

(TO THE EDITOR) '

Sir, Mt J. E.' Silcock, Waitoki apparently requires little assurance for him to arrive at a decision.' Had he been sincere in his enquiries and contacted all councillors he would havefound at least four, who, although in favour of the show on the domain are quite definite I did not make the statements referred to. Further, can ‘ he tell me why, if such statements.. were made, they were not challenged on the night in question. It is questionable in whether Mr Silcock was really thinking of the election and not the show and if so his effort to discredit me with the voters may prove disappointing.

• C. O’BRIEN Note:—For the information of readers we publish the following extract from the minutes of the September meeting of the Paeroa Borough Council. Letter from “secretary, Hauraki A. and P. Association, making application for permission to use the . domain for the annual show on Saturday, December 2, 1950. Cr O’Brien, expressed the opinion that the application should not be granted and that the A. and P. Association should be asked to secure another area for the holding of the annual show. Crs Wylde and Chamberlain stated that the annual show was a feature of the district and the association should be encouraged to continue with the use of the domain. Resolved. on the motion of Cr Walmsley, seconded by Cr Gwilliam that the letter be received and the application be granted upon the usual fee and conditions, namely, a fee of £l2/10/- reducible to £lO/5/- if paid by January 31, 1951.” The above minutes were confirmed unanimously at the October meeting of the Paeroa \ Borough Council. —Editor.
