VERY FINE GIFT
OFFER BY THE WILLIAMS FAMILY. ACCEPTED BY BOROUGH COUNCIL * “It is a very fine gift indeed, and it is particularly pleasing to see such an old-established family setting an ' example and giving land to the borough,” remarked the Mayor, Mr. T. Jordan, when referring, at .last night’s meeting of the Borough Council, to the offer of 118 acres of land made by the trustees of the family of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Coldham Williams. The council accepted with sincere thanks the offer, and decided to ask the trustees to convey to the family its appreciation of their generous action. Councillor W. Kemp said, “In the past this town has not been blessed by its rich citizens who prospered by the town. That has been lacking in Masterton.’ Yesterday most of the councillors inspected the land.
