After consideration of the conditions imposed by the Royal Life-Saving Society regarding the money allocated to the New Brighton Club from the street collection taken up some months ago the following resolution was carried unanimously:—" That this committee regrets it cannot see its way to sign the conditions set .out by the Royal Life-Saving Society regarding. New Brighton's portion of the funds from the street collection. With the erection of the pavilion it was the earnest intention of the club to further lifesaving work in accordance with the purpose for which the money was subscribed and it justly requested early payment of Same.''
