It was stated that two new residences had been built during the period, the necessary drainage being satisfactorily installed. Mr Chamberlain brought up the question of a gas supply for Tahunanui. He stated that he had heard of a method by which gas for household purposes could be stored in cylinders, and this might “fill the bill”, for , Tahunanui. The gas was not expensive and was quite harmless. He then moved that the City Council be written to asking if they had further information of a gas supply for Tahunanui either by pipes or other method. The motion was seconded by Mr Tiller and carried.
