COUNCIL WILL NOT MAKE DONATION TO GIRLS’ SPORTS FUND.
(Special to the “Star.”) AUCKLAND, September 2S. Recently the Auckland Girls’ Ath letic Association asked the Newmarket Borough Council for permission to hold a street collection to raise funds for their sports ground. This request was refused. A further appeal was made at last night’s meeting of the Newmarket council, when a letter outlining the objects of the association and stressing the need for financial support of all interested in the welfare of the young womanhood in Auckland was received. “ I have been interested in hockey in Auckland for a number of years,” said Mr H. J. Cooper, “ and I think these girls put one across the boys. The girls have practically killed hockey in Auckland.” On the motion of the Mayor, who said that the appeal was not worthy of support, the council unanimously decided to decline the request.
