A special meeting of the Borough Council was held last night for the purpose of passing a resolution in connection with the conversion of certain loans. The Mayor (Mr M. E. Perreau) presided. The Mayor explained that the Treasury had approved of a loan conversion scheme for the borough comprising an amount of £50,400. A comprehensive resolution was then placed before the meeting and carried. Tho annual report of the Foxton Surf and Lite Saving Club states that the club’s membership has been kept at a. high level and there had always been a good patrol on guard each Sunday and on public holidays. The Surf Cup was won by L. J. Thompson. The club is grateful for the donation made by its patron, Mr Linklater, which wiped off the club’s debt on its pavilion. This, together with the funds raised -from the various functions, has completely freed the club of debt and enables it to enter the new season in a sound financial position.
