Cr. Budd then went on to say that he f elt sure that the council would also be glad to have any suggestion from Cr. Hitchens as to where the money might be raised. Cr. Hitchens to Cr. Budd : I not- , ice that you were not long in getting a new car when your old car began to rattle, doctor. Cr. Tabb: Yes, but Dr. Budd strikes his own rates, your Worship. Cr. Maine: Yes and he does not have to strike them annually. These Smokers A request was received from the Opotiki Women' s Institute that the council allow them to use the council chamber once a month for their meetings. Cr. Hitchens said that he for ono had no objection, provided that the ladies did not leave a quantity of cigarette butts, matches, etc, lying about like another committee which used the rooms.
