McCallum and A. A. Reid. The Otago Electric Power Board forwarded a copy of a letter from Mr W. T Coughlan asking for the erection of a street light at the turning place at Purakanui.—The council decided to consider the matter after the black-out had been discontinued.

A letter from Mr C. C. Rose, drawing the council’s attention to the state of the road leading to their Purakanui properties, and also asking for some improvements to the turning place for cars, was referred to the inspector to attend to. The secretary of the Warrington Domain Board wrote asking the council to release the board from the control of the Warrington Esplanade and suggesting that it be placed under the control of the Warrington Improvement Society.—Agreed to. Circulars from the Dominion Lighting Controller dealing with the. matters under the Lighting Restrictions were received.
