CIVIC RECEPTION HONOUR
TO WHOM SHOULD JT BE GIVEN ? By Telegraph.—Press Association. - Nelson, Last Night. The question of on what occasions civic receptions should be tendered was referred to the municipal conference by the executive. Mr. J. Milliar (Mayor of Invercargill) said that something should be done to deal with people asking for civic receptions. Mr. W. R. Rogers (Mayor of Wanganui) moved that the giving of civic receptions be left to the discretion of mayors responsible for the giving of them.
The Rev. J. K. Archer said there was no need for this remit, as that waj already the practice. The Mayor of Wellington (Mr. G. A. Troup) moved that eivie receptions should not be given to any person engaged in an advertising or trading undertaking. The Mayor of Auckland (Mr. Leo. Baildon) thought the giving of a reception should be left to the decision of each mayor to deal with each case on its own merits. A civic reception was the greatest honour that could be paid a man, and he was very careful to whom he gave receptions. Mr. Troup’s motion was seconded by the Mayor of Timaru and carried.
