AUCKLAND EXHIBITION SURPLUS.
(P-er United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, March 15. .The question of the disposal of the surplus from the Auckland Industrial and Mining Exhibition, amounting to £2000, came up before the Chief Justice. The Chamber of Commerce claimed the money in terms of the exhibition prospectus, to be used for the support and maintenance of the Chamber of Commerce and a permanent exhibition of industries. Some of the guarantors claimed that the prospectus ■was never approved by the Executive Committee, and urged that the money should be used to obtain a technical school (with accommodation for the chamber) in order to secure a £2000 subsidy understood to be promised by the Government if the surplus were used for that object. His Honor said it was clear th'e exhibition had be«n started on a certain footing, a? was shown by the circular, and it could not be altered. Hβ could not extend the words of the circular to include a technical school. After considerable discussion both sides left the interpretation of the clause in the circular to his Honor with the understanding that hi would appoint trustees.
