It was considered that the repairs were not necessary from the department’s viewpoint, as the "AVoodvillo station was not entitled to fly a flag, and the suggestion was advanced that the council should pay the account. The Aiayor (Air H._ 11.l 1 . Horne) said the circumstances had been placed before tho area officer. The repairs had been ordered when arrangements were in hand for suitable recognition to be given to the late King’s funeral.
