A letter from the County Council asking for a, contribution towards improving Kanicri road, this side of Morris Hill, .yas discussed and it was decided to make a small contribution to the work, also to point out to thq Council that the improvements_ should not cost very much in this case, as a lot of debris being removed Trom the top of the Hill could be deposited on this side tp make the road wider, where the improvement is desired. The Canterbury Association letter was received notifying that they were quite agreeable and prepared to support the local bodies here in getting improvements to Lake Kanieri road and were taking immediate steps to do all they could in the matter.' Two new members were proposed, Afr R. E. ; Cranston and Dr B. Baird, and were duly elected, and after matters of various importance were dealt with, the meeting tej'nripated at 9.30.
