CHOICE OF SITE FOR ART GALLERY.
MATTER NOT YET SETTLED FINALLY. In deference to the wishes of Mr R. E. M’Dougall, the group of business men who were interesting themselves in the purchase of a central site for the new art gallery decided to take no further action in the matter, but there is still a considerable body of public opinion strongly opposed to the erection of the gallery on the Selected site at. the rear of the museum. This morning the sub-committee set up by the Jubilee Memorial Committee for the purpose of considering alternative sites discussed the matter privately with the Mayor and Mr M’Dougall. The members of the sub-committee present were Dr Thacker and Messrs H. Holland, M.P., and A. Dudley Dobson. They will submit a report regarding the matter at a meeting of the Jubilee Memorial Committee to be held to-mor-row afternoon.
