ARMY HALL RENT
REDUCTION GIVEN MINISTER’S DECISION MR. COLEMAN SATISFIED A reduction of 10s per hour in the rental charge for the Gisborne Army Hall, for purposes of public entertainments at which admission charges are levied, has been agreed to by the Minister of Defence, Mr. F. Jones, in answer to representations made by district bodies and supported by Mr. D. W. Coleman, M.P. In a message to the Gisborne Herald received today Mr. Coleman states that when he interviewed the Minister a short time ago on the subject of the rental charges for the hall, Mr. Jones pointed out that the scale was based on a reasonable return on the capital outlay plus direct current expenses. Mr. Jones had promised to gave consideration to a reduction in the charges, however. “I have again interviewed the Minister, who as a result of my further representations has agreed to a reduction from 30s per hour to £1 per hour,” states Mr. Coleman’s message. “Knowing all the circumstances of this particular case and also the departmental policy regarding charges for the use of drill halls generally, I am satisfied that the Minister’s decision is veryequitable and fair.”
