POVERTY BAY MEETINGS
Permission to race on the Park Domain next month has been given to the Poverty Bay Turf Club and to the Poverty Bay Hunt Club in the following week by the Gisborne Borough Council, sitting as the Makaraka Domain Board, providing the admission fee is not more than Is.
A strong stand was taken by the Minister of Lands (the Hon. F. Langstone), who acquiesced in the February Meeting being held there only on the understanding that no further application would be considered. It was stated during the discussion that if the board acted against the. wishes of the Minister, he would consider revoking the board's jurisdiction over the Park Domain. However, the council holds the view that as it has a right to grant permission for sports purposes under the Public Domains Act, it should do so in the interests of the racing clubs and also of the board's funds.
