BAGPIPE MUSIC
“BEST IN THE WORLD” “Bagpipe music is the best in the world," stoutly asserted Cr. W. S. Campbell at the meeting of the Devonport Council last night. A sharp discussion had arisen over the “music” emanating from a merry-go-round located on the Windsor Reserve, and being run by the Devonport Band in a fund-raising effort. One councillor described it as an “awful noise” and said visitors complained that they could not escape from it. The Mayor could not resist the opportunity of asking if the merry-go-round music was worse than bagpipe music. SHOPKEEPERS’ COMPLAINT Objection to the competition of ice cream and soft drink stalls on the reserve was voiced by a deputation of Devonport shopkeepers, particular emphasis being laid on the fact that the stalls were open last Sunday. It was admitted that the goods were made on the Horth Shore and the money kept “at home.” Subsequently tbe band carnival officials stated that they did not know that the stalls were open; an inspection of the books showed that the takings were Is sd. The council decided the band could not have the use of the reserve after Friday fev^ning.
