Some time ago the Wellington Csty Council was urged to make better use of the City organ by organising a series of recitals by well-known organists. The suggestion was adopted, and the series, which began in February last, has proved a failurej. The gross takings averaged slightly over £10.. which is not nearly sufficient to pay the expenses of the rent of the hall and organ and the lighting. Each of the four organists received £5 a recital, in addition to which the Council had to pay for advertising- etc. A Christchurch organist gave a couple of recitals recently on his own responsibility, and lost money.
