TITIRANGI RESERVE
USE AS SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL REJECTS PROPOSAL An inquiry made on behalf of the Titirangi School Committee, whether the City Council would consider the sale of part T>f a property of 12J acres, originally intended for the site of a break-pressure reservoir, was the subject of reports by the waterworks engineer and the town clerk to the council last night. These showed that the property had been conveyed to the council without payment in 1900 by the late Mr. H. Atkinson, on condition that any portions of the land not required for water supply purposes should be planted and kept as an ornamental or pleasure ground. In 1920 the donor had intimated by letter that he was willing that the council should dispose of the land as it saw fit, but this did not affect the legal position. In 19.'10 members of th£ Atkinson family had objected to a proposal by the Auckland Education Board that part of the property should be alienated for a school site.
The public services committee, after insjiecting the property, recommended that the school committee's request he declined, and the council resolved accordingly.
