Taihape Notes

BOROUGH COUNCIL MEETING ROUTINE BUSINESS (0.C.) Taihape, Feb. 21. Reporting to the monthly meeting of the Taihape Borough Council, the Mayor, E. Loader, said he had recently called a public meeting to discuss the type of war memorial which would be most fitting for the town. Several proposals had come before the meeting in a general survey. Mr. Loader said it was his intention to call a further meeting after the municipal conference to be held at Rotorua next month. The Taihape tennis club informed the council that its committee was unable to accede to the request ot the Basketball Club for use of its courts. The council agreed to write to the Tennis Club pointing out that the club had the use of tlie courts during the pleasure of the council and that three of the courts were suitable for basketball and should be available to the Basketball Club. Mr. J. H. Johnston applied for permission to subdivide the property on the corner of Kokako Street and Tul Street. The subdivision plan complied with the by-laws and permission was granted. It was, however, pointed out that the property was borough leasehold and new leases would need to be taken out in respect of each section of the subdivision. A letter from the Palmerston North Borough Council stated it was intended to make application for a permit to use the council's buses for race meetings and for special trips. It might so happen that such buses might, on occasion pass through Taihape. The Palmerston North Council wanted to know if any objection would be raised —the general opinion revealed that such trips would be welcomed. LATEST BOKS AT LIBRARY.
