AUCKLAND CATHEDRAL.
FUND FOR ERECTION. REVENUE FROM THE SITE. [BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON, Monday. Provision for the revenue from the cathedral site of six acres at Auckland, to be devoted to a fund for the erection of a cathedral in the Northern city, is made in a bill that passed the second reading and through the committee stages at tonight's session of General Synod. The bill also provides for the revenue from the bishop's house site at Auckland being devoted to a fund toward repaying the cost of erection of the bishop's house and its''maintenance and general upkeep.
Archdeacon Simkin said the donor of the cathedral site was the late Bishop Selwyn. The gift had been made in 1859, and a condition of it was that the land be used for a cathedral. All the revenues from the cathedral site would accrue toward the erection of a cathedral. In nine years they would have the Selwyn centenary, and they hoped to have a cathedral befitting the City of Auckland.
