Horton), Councillors Blissett, Eagar, Farley, McKenna, Stuart, Tate and Wood. J. A. Brooker forwarded a letter signed by himself and three other occupiers of State houses asking the council to lay out the street fronting their houses. They agreed to keep the same in good order. The Works Committee was authorised to attend to the request. The Deputy Valuer General forwarded the new valuation roll. In reply to Councillor Tate, the Town Clerk said that the total borough valuation showed a very small increase. In some individual valuations there was a large increase. Greytown Pictures Ltd. wrote in regard to the lease of the Town Hall, asking if the building was covered for war risk and if the proceeds of any such insurance would be used for the reinstatement of the building. The company desired to know if the clause in the lease providing for distermination in the event of the fire, earthquake or other accident could be extended to include action by the King’s enemies. Acting on legal advice the Town Clerk was instructed to reply that the building was covered by a war damage risk, but that the council could not agree to any of the other suggestions made by the company. The Health Officer reported three cases of scarlet fever in the borough. • Mr H. W. Jordan was appointed dog tax collector. BOWLING In the Greytown Bowling Club’s singles championship, W.
