Taneatua School Building Not Available For Ohope
Advice that the old school building at Taneatua would not be available for use at Ohope was received by the school committee on Wednesday. The bpard enquired whether the main church building would be available as they had believed and said that if sufficient accommodation could not' be found it would not be possible to go ahead with plans for a separate school at Ohope. Mr Wilson thought the Board had the wrong conception as the committee had correspondence which said that the main building would have to be vacated. Messrs. Paterson and Mahy were appointed to take the matter up with the church committee and the Ohope Progress League.
Financial
Accounts totalling £l9 16s 2d were passed for payment. A comparison in the electricity accounts with a corresponding period last year showed a 50 per cent, increase.
It was decided to charge the night classes for a portion of the accounts received while they were using the buildings. New Cycle Racks
It was decided to erect racks to hold 90 cycles. Mr Hubbard said that at present hundreds of pounds worth of cycles were lying around in heaps. The old fence in Lovelock Street is to be demolished and a new racecourse type substituted. Telephone Communication
