LOWER HUTT'S SYMPATHY
The question of procuring fund* for the purchase of one of the proposed carillon bells by the Lower Hutt community will be placed before a public meeting of the-, residents next Monday evening. Last evening' the Borough Council decided to give the. Lower Hutt Progress League all the support possible. The Mayor, Mr. W. T. Strand, said that the council could not give a donation, .the expenditure being outside its district, but the object was a most worthy one, and he was grateful that the Progress League had taken the matter in hand. Councillor Meldrum said Lower Hutt had in the past risen to the occasion, and he was sure it would do so now. Councillor Watkins was sure the whole'council wasl of one-mind bathe question: in fact, not only the council, but the whole coramttnity. The Wellington community had responded splendidly to the appeal, and it showed the appreciation of the people for the sacrifice made by the soldiers. The bells, for many a century, would ring forth the story of what had been done.
A public meeting of Petone citizens, convened by the Deputy-Mayor (Councillor C. P. Brqckelbank), will be held to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock in the Municipal Chambers to discuss the proposal that Petone be represented in tfce carillon.. , >
