Invercargill, June 19, Much indignation has been expressed here at the manner in which a Bill has been hurried through the Provincial Council for the purpose of altering the reserve from a grant to the Athenaeum to a site for a pitiful Town Hall, The people here were not consulted in the matter. It had been previously arranged with the General Government, and confirmed by public meetings, that the site in question should be given to the Athenaeum in exchange for a piece of ground in Esk street. A memorial to the Governor, praying that assent to the Bill may be withheld, is in course of signature.
