A petition signed by 45 employees of the Gisborne Borough Council requesting that they be granted a week’s annual leave was unfavourably received by the council last week. The petition set out that in 1926 the employees had received such a holiday, but last year the concession was withheld. The newly-elected Labour Mayor, Mr. D. W. Coleman, pointed out that the previous council had seen Jit to grant the holiday, and he would like to see the men placed on the same basis as the indoor staff: He moved that a week’s holiday should be granted to each employee who had served the council for a year, but the motion was not seconded, and lapsed.
