WILL STILL MISSING
MR. PARTINGTON'S ESTATE Further search for a will of the late Mr. Joseph Partington, owner of the old windmill in Symonds Street, has been fruitless. In view of the position that has arisen through Mr. Partington making a second will in 1940, his solicitor, Mr. C. H. M. Wills, intends this week to file an application to the Supreme Court for the appointment of an interim administrator for the estate. He stated yesterday that the City Council, which is interested in the future of the mill and surrounding property, had agreed to this course. Meantime it has been necessary to appoint a man to tend the mill, as the sails must always be kept turned into the wind. The interest aroused in the mill has attracted many sightseers since Mr. Partington's death, especially at week-ends. Most are content to view the mill from the roadway but some have attempted to wander through the outbuildings and even enter the mill. Large numbers of people have also proferred suggestion as to where the will might be found, but none of the suggestions has yielded results.
