MOTOR CAMP.

RIVER BANK SITE. motorists" urge re-opening. Hamilton Is still without a motor camp since the closing of the one In idyllic surroundings on the river bank below Tisdale Street.' It was, hoped to open an area in Hamilton East for the purpose, but the Hamilton East Ratepayers’ Association' intimated to the Hamilton Agency of the Automobile Association, last night, that they proposed to take no further action in the matter this season. Mr W. Bourne asked if it would not be possible to re-open the old camp temporarily. Mr F. J. Farrell saw no reasop whatever why the old camp should not be again made available to the public. It had been declared that the residents of the vicinity had objected strongly to the presence of the camp. He had the assurance of a number of them that such was not the case. Mr E. N. Valintine said there was no better spot for a camp in the district than the old river bank site'. It had been declared after the camp was closed, however, .-that the Borough Council would not re-open the camp on any account. It was mentioned that the main difficulty in connection with the camp had been the action of the occupier of a private section alongside the camp. It was hoped this difficulty /would not recur and a committee was set up to endeavour to have the camp reopened temporarily.
