FOR WORK AT KENT TERRACE INTERIM INJUNCTION DISSOLVED What mar, for the time being, be regarded as the lilial stage in the judicial proceedings in regard to the Kent Terrace Reserve dispute was reached yesterday, and there is now nothing to prevent the City Council from proceeding with the deferred alterations. Mr. A. L. Hunt and others, who had previously obtained an interim injunction 'restraining the City Council from going on with the work, appeared before His Honour Mr. Justice Ostler in the Supreme Court yesterday, when the case was again brought forward. Mr. Hunt and his associates were represented bv Mr. T. F. Martin, while Mr. J. O’Shea,, city solicitor, appeared for the City Council. . , Mr. O’Shea stated that since the former proceedings a Government proclamation bad been obtained, enabling the City Council to proceed with the work. ’ Counsel understood that Mr. Martin did not propose to take anv part in the present proceedings, and that no opposition would be raised bv plaintiffs. The question to be considered was whether the interim injunction should be formally dissolved. Personally, however, he doubted whether this. were really necessary. His Honour: What is the objection to a dissolution of the interim order by consent? 'Mr. Martin: I am directed, as a proclamation has been obtained, not to applv to have the injunction made absolute'. I have no objection to its being dissolved. The Court then agreed to dissolve the injunction. It was stated that the matter of costs had been arranged.
