TERRITORIAL CAMP
PROPOSAL TO USE SOLWAY SHOWGROUNDS. PUT FORWARD BY MAYOR. Following on the announcement that owing to Waiouru Camp not being ready for occupation by October 1 and that arrangements had been made to encamp Territorial units due to proceed to Waiouru at various racecourses and other areas in their own districts, the Mayor of Masterton, Mr T. Jordan, yesterday sent a telegram to Colonel Bell, Quartermaster-General, offering Solway Showgrounds for a Territorial camp. Mr Jordan, who secured the permission of the president of the Masterton A. and P. Association, Mr R. E. Gordon Lee, to make the offer, has also requested the member for Masterton, Mr J. Robertson, to take up the matter. Mr Robertson agreed to do his best to further the proposal. Mr Jordan states that the Solway Showgrounds would provide an ideal setting for a camp, and points out that it is just as well to have the camp there, as the location has everything to commend it.
