WILL NOT BE HELD.

Brighton Gala Would Clash With Band Carnival.

At a meeting: of the New Brighton Beach and Beauty Carnival Committee he d last night, it was decided that no gala be held this year in view of he fact that the Municipal Band has been granted an extension of the time for its carnival and will now only finish one day before it was proposed to open the gain. It was decided to hold a meeting early in the New Year to take steps to have the committee incorporated on tiie lines of the Caroline Bay Association.

The Mayor of New Brighton (Mr E. A. M. Leaver) presided. The chairman said that some members of the committee considered that as the New Brighton Municipal Band had bee n granted permission to carry on with its gala until January 11 it would be difficult to carry on successfully from that date.

Tn accordance, with notice of motion, Mr W. L. A. Taylor moved “That the motion to hold a carnival commencing on January 12 be rescinded and that the committee assist in the gala being run by the Municipal Band.”

Mr Li. R. Moore moved that the reference to assisting the band be deleted and the amendment was carried. It was also decided that the band be charged £5 per week for the use of material being lent free by the committee if it was decided to extend the Band Carnival beyond January 11.
