The secretary intimated that he would be going into camp with the Hawke’s Bay Regiment on October 1 and would be away for three months. Mr J. Kiernan was appointed acting secretary for this period. Mr H. J. Nightingale stated that he had been deputed by the Borough Council to ask the Trustees to allow stock to be grazed in the Memorial Park. Mr Nightingale said that there was no revenue received from the Park and the Council wanted to keep the grass down. The chairman pointed out that grant made by the Trust of £2O per annum was given in the first place with the idea of keeping the Park clean, as complaints had been received that the sheep had made the grounds dirty. In answer to a further question MiNightingale said that he understood that it was intended to do away with the ornamental plots at the entrance to the Park. Members of the Trust expressed their regret in this connection. After a further discussion it was decided to ask the Park Committee to meet the Trustees and discuss the matter. ST.
