It was agreed to circulate a petition, which will be placed beforo Parliament, asking for a 66 years’ lease, the right of perpetual renewal, and the right to purchase the freehold. It was decided also to send a deputation to 'Wellington to interview the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Lands and Education and the Leader of the Opposition.
