DIFFERENCE AT PUKEKOHE. RECENT ORANGE LODGE PARADE. [by telegraph.—own correspondent. 1 PUKEKOHE, Friday. The resolution of the Pukekohe Borough Council asking the Pukekohe Municipal Band to refrain in future from taking part in such functions, as (lie Orange Lodge parade, was discussed at the annual meeting of the band last evening. Mr. E. W. Pook said he thought it should be made clear to the council that the band had the right to play where it thought fit. The chairman, Mr. J. Patterson, said the band management committee had decided to forward to the council ; a resolution by the bandsmen's committee that'the band would "carry on as usual." The band had played at the Orangemen's parade for several years.
It 'wa3 stated that the band was an incorporated society, and was in no way under the direction of -the Borough Council, eJccept that the council was the trustee for the instruments.
It was explained that bandsmen who felt diffident about attending the parade did not do so.
Speakers emphasised the fact that they d'id not wish in any way to create partisan feeling, but they thought the council should expunge the resolution from its minutes. It was decided, with one dissentient, ,to ask the council to do this.
