Daniell Estate, Queen Street, connected with the street lighting system. Messrs Hart, Daniell and Hart had written, regarding the application, asking what lighting costs had been charged for other connections. Councillor W. White entered a protest regarding a statement by Mr H. H. Daniell ,who had said that he had been treated discourteously by the council. Councillor C. E.

Russell was authorised to attend to urgent district health duties during the absence of Mr Eliott on annual leave.

A resolution was passed imposing a ten per cent penalty on all rates unpaid after March 26,
