R. Row. Bitter complaints at the fact that the loan was carried by so small a majority was made by Mr. J. E. Tidd, leader of the opposition to the loan. He said that if he had known, he would have organised opposition, and the poll would have been rejected. On his motion, it was decided to obtain a full report of the expenditure incurred in connection with advertising the advantages of the proposal.
