MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS.
MR T. F. MARTIN'S OPINION. The Town Clerk (Mr P. Skoglund) has received a communication from Mr T. V, Martin, Wellington, dealing with the matter of the legality of including shops in the erection of the new Municipal Buildings. Mr Martin's reply states (inter alia) that "if the loan was raised under my previous legal opinion there is a good answer to any legal proceedings the Auditor-General may institute. As the whole matter hinges on the power of the Council when erecting a public building to include parts for letting. I do not see what else can be done than to have the legality decided by the Courts unless the Council can ge r validating legislation say in the Washing-up Bill."
