Council would be prepared to consider j making a further grant. This decision followed upon a deputa- 1 tion from the Band Committee. Messrs! Blackman and Corlett, explaining tiiat alter | tiie Baud resigned in a body because tin- 1 roiim-M cut 111 • * annual grant from £75 to j it had been ascertained that a number of \ bandsmen wa> n*adv to play, though there , was a reeling among them that the council should not have cut down the subsidy I without consulting tin* band. It had there : fore been thought desirable that it would ’ be best to approach the council on the j matter to ascertaining if it were prepared | to review its decision. The Mayor, Mr H. T. Morton, agreed j that the council’s decision had been mad- ■ rather hurriedly, and from the hand - - point or view, vexatiously. The council should have no doubt consulted the band on the matter before the decision was made. However, the band probably did not appreciate the Itnam-ia] difficulties encountered by the council during the current year. When the Mayor suggested iu*i ute

Mr Blackman said that he thought this would he quite satisfactory to the band, ir an assurance were given that in the event of the band running short of money during its current year the council would be prepared to consider sympathetically the granting or money up to a maximum of the balance of £ 1 3.
