' ' % HAWERA CRITICISM ■ • i| In the course of a brief discussion! of the affairs of the Egmont National Park Board at the Hawera County: Council on Saturday, the chairman; asked why it was that application bad to be made so frequently to the Government for assistance. Was it due, to bad management that the board could not keep expenditure within the; limits of its resources? he asleed. Cr. Larcom pointed out that the south committee did not have the same roading difficulties as the east and north committees, which also were in need of funds. The chairman voiced the opinion that all Government grants for the mountain resort should be shared by the three committees. It seemed that the north committee existed only for the north and the south committee had to fend as best it could for itself. Cr. Larcom: The south committee" is fortunately in a better financial position than either of the two other committees cr the board > and it is? just afraid that the others might dei mand a share. That is why the south; committee is pushing ahead with its electric lighting scheme at Dawson; Falls and so commit the money it has in hand.

The chairman remarked that tba board would receive very little support if it appealed to the local bodiea for funds as he understood had beea suggested. t j
