That the committee arranging for the gathering of information concerning the establishment of a Metropolitan Board of Works should postpone operations until the spring was a suggestion made by Mr H. G. Livingstone at the meeting of the Drainage Board last night. He said that the committee asked for detailed information at a time when local bodies were busy with their estimates for the year. The staff should concentrate on the board’s own work and leave the gathering of the required details till the pressure of duties was lighter. It was agreed that the information should be supplied, and the chairman (Mr S. C. Bingham) stated that information which the committee was seeking to obtain from Australia would not come to hand for some time. There w’as, therefore, no necessity for haste on the board’s part.
