AN UNSUPPORTED MOTION. The city organ was momentarily the thenie of discussion at the City Council meeting last evening, when Councillor E. Tregear moved:— "That the services of the city organist and the use of the city organ should not be made available for political party purposes. , '.
. Councillor Tregear said that he did not wish to deprive the people of Wellingtqn of the use of their organ, but he had been informed that at a political meeting (which ho did not attend) the organ was used l to drown the Councillor Godber: Noise. . Councillor Trecear: The applause. ■ Councillor Godber: Some people have a funny idea of applause! ■'' Councillor Tregear said he did not' think this was the purpose fop which the organ was supplied by the city of Wellington -. It was beneath the dignity of a city like'this to have "that beautiful organ" used for purposes for which a kerosene tin band would be more appropriate. It was a degradation of the organ. He understood that Mr. Pago was not playing tho organ on the occasion in question, but he wished'to move that the services of tho city organist should not be made available on any future occasion of the kind.
