CITY’S RAID SHELTERS
A report on the air-raid shelters constructed in the city was presented at-the meeting of the City Council last night. This stated that Mr W. Stewart, chemist, had complained of the structure being erected in front of his premises for the underground shelter in Dee street. After a meeting of councillors on the spot it was decided that the canopy partly erected in front of Mr Stewart’s premises be removed, and the opening to the underground shelter covered. The work done on the shelters at Gala Esk streets was approved, but the meeting understood that further definite instructions on the class of shelter desired were awaited from the experts who were advising the Minister of Civil Defence on this subject. It was considered that the Gala street shelter could, after the war, be used as an underground convenience.
