COUNCIL AND BOARD
PROPERTY PRICE DISPUTE (Ti* Ukitid Pbb«s Association.] WELLINGTON. June 20. That the City Council should be called upon to complete at once the contract relative to the purchase of the Education Board’s property in Mercer street was the effect of a resolution passed at a meeting of the Education Board to-day. Mr T. W. M‘ Donald, a member of the board, stated that the property had been very definitely sold in 1950 by the board to the council at an agreed-upon price of £51,000. which wts some £SOO less than the Government valuation at that time. To sug-
gost that the board was exploiting the council in demanding such a sum as £51.000 was manifestly unjust. The council recently decided to build a new library on another site.
