The mover said the Department was evidently trying to keop tho Council in the dark as much as possible by refusing them aocoss to the plans. Cr Browne seconded.
Cr Wilson " simplv wanted to say 'hit it was useless." He knew the Department had bought up land at a cost of some thousands of pounds for the MolcsToi'tli Streot route, and it was hopeless to have the routo shifted.
