END OF FISH MART
CITY TO GET £2,000 The City Council was recommended last evening to accept an offer of £2,000 for a surrender of the lease of the fish market site. Cr. Phelan said the council was getting £SOO yearly.for the area. The Mayor: But our title is very much in question, and he have had the quiet lip from the Harbour Board. The assertion that the fish market, coming at a time of very dear meat and fish, saved the citizens £40,000, while it lost £4,000, was made by Cr. j A. J. Entricun. Cr. T. Bloodworth asserted that the ! council had never admitted any de- j fault affecting its title, and before the ! deal went through the value should \ bo ascertained. He, as a member of i the Harbour Board, knew nothing of the board pressing the question. The Mayor said the council for many months had failed to keep the j terms of the lease. They were lucky i to get an offer of £2,000. The board could have resumed possession for I nothing. _ j The offer was accepted.
