The Mayor explained that the work of the Committee would be to enquire into matters connected with the .Park, and made recommendations to -the Council. ' It would rest with the Council whether those recommendations would be carried out-or <not. Cr Donald ,said that' he was opposed to .the -setting up of a Park Committee. He would, however, favour the appointment of a Gas Committee. Or O'Leary thought that a Gas Committee should be set up. He would, however, .support Cr Ewington's tmotion.
' The 'Mayor did not think that the business of tfhe Council could be? done better 'by a .committee than 'by -the .Co'unciT as a whole, Ife tnongKt that there was more liarrnicaiy in- the Council without Committees. He would support the carrying on of the business of the Council as at preheat.
Or Ewington said that since the (Park Committee bad ceased to exist, the Park had gon e back, especially in [the lower part. He was quite convinced that good work would be done liif >a •committee were set up.
