It was resolved that a report be forwarded to the local Police Office in connection with the non-attendance at meetings and trials of a member of the Warden Unit.

The matter of organisation and arrangements for carrying out safety precautions in the event of fire or state of emergency at the local picture theatre was left in the hands of the controller of the Warden Unit.

The matter of arranging for a siren or alarm signal to be controlled on a car for the outlying portion of the borough was left to the controller of transport and the chairman. It was resolved that the telephone subscriber whose attitude in refusing to permit the use of the party line on request by the Post Office during the recent emergency trial be written to pointing out the necessity for the cooperation and assistance of all residents of the district during a state of emergency.

It was decided that a letter be forwarded to the manager of a store in Carterton calling his attention to the fact that his premises were closed previous to the sounding of the “all clear” signal, which in a state of emergency might cause serious inconvenience and delay. It was resolved that the supply unit be authorised to transfer Mr W. C. M. Sorensen from the supply unit to H.Q. Coy., Home Guard, and that the supply unit appoint a deputy controller to fill the position. The following suggestions for future trials were brought forward: That the controller of the works unit be notified if a telephone is out of order; the warden in charge of evacuation accommodation be asked when reporting cases of evacuation to report the reason; that any arrangements for an increase in personnel was a matter for internal arrangement; that authorised printed message forms be cyclotyped for the electrical unit, and messages should be prefaced “Practise” with definite information as to locality and nature of damage; that broken wires or power lines be reported to the Power Board or headquarters, whichever is nearest.
