New Council Chambers. Last evening’s meeting of the Gore Borough Council was the first to be held in the new chamber, the renovations of the Town Hall being sufficiently advanced to allow portion of the building to be used. The chamber is a commodious apartment, being finished with figured panelled timber to a height of seven feet with, white plaster for the upper portion and ceiling. Elevated desks are provided for the Mayor and the Town Clerk and the councillors are accommodated at a semi-circular table. The Mayor and councillors expressed satisfaction with the new premises. Councillors subsequently complained that the acoustics of the chamber were very bad and the Finance Committee was instructed to endeavour to have the matter improved. 0—O—o Mataura Seat.
