Camping Ground Regulations The Rangiora-Waikuku Beach Domain Board asked that the Council should not adopt the new health regulations, and the Council agreed not to have them gazetted as applicable locally. “They would make the Beach a drawing room; not a camping gi’ound,” said Cr Macdonald. Cr Tallott favoured enforcing the regulations. The'Government’s proposals for celebrating the Coronation were considered and it was decided to ask all employers of labour to see that a holiday was observed, and to inquire from the Power Board about co-operating in arranging special lighting.
