MUNICIPAL SERVICE
PAYMENT FAVOURED IN CHRISTCHURCH REMIT TO ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE (By Telegraph-Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, November 7. Payment for service as a city or borough councillor is favoured by the Christchurch City Council, which proposes to seek the opinions of other municipal authorities in New Zealand on this subject. Tonight, the council adopted a recommendation from its finance committee that the following remit be submitted to the annual conference of the Municipal Association of New Zealand, which will be held in Dunedin next March: That the Government be requested to make provision in the Municipal Corporations Act for the payment of fixed allowances to members of city and borough councils or, as an alterna-, live, that provision be made for members of city or borough councils to be compensated for monetary loss resulting from time lost from their permanent employment while attending to the business of the council.
The recommendation was approved without discussion.
Another remit approved for submission to the Municipal Association asked that the Government be urged to introduce legislation to control more rigidly the consumption of liquor in licensed dance halls.
