It was subsequently stated that, on the day following the previous meeting of the council, a council car, but not the Mayor’s car, had been used to take Cr. G. T. Thurston from Christchurch to Timaru and back. The motion for an inquiry was seconded by Cr. E. H. Andrews, who said ho thought some kind of inquiry into possible economies would be a good thing.
