THE TOWN HALL QUESTION AND THE POWN LAND TRUSTEES.

At last night's meeting; of the ' Mastorton Town Lands Trustees, I Mr A. Vile said he had an important ' resolution to biiug forward, and his ' reason for doing so, without notice, ' to, if possible, to bring the matter s under the notice of the present ] session of Parliament, The resolu- ] tion was:— , "That it is advisable that the Tr'us' ! > Lands Trustees erect a Town Hall in Mastorton at a cost not exceeding £3OO, ( and with this object in view a Jiill he , introduced into the House enabling the ; Trustees to raise a loan of not exceeding j £2500 by the issue of debentures of not less than £lO nor more than £SO each, f hearing interest at the rate of not . exceeding fi per cent, per annum, r terminable 20 years after dale of issue. ' The said loan to he raised only after its ' authorization by a majority of three- I fiftheif the votes at a poll to be held to dctcAne the matter." c 'The Chairman (Mr W. Lowes) [ said the motion bad tokon him ' ._ rather by surprise. It was an ' important one and he must rule that ( notice bo given. Mr Vile said he would, in that \ case, give notice of motion that a ( special meeting be held in three t weeks time, at which he would movo the above motion, and also that:— / ' "That Mr A. W.Hogg, M.H.E.. be s requested to undertake the charge of the Bill aforesaid, and to introduce it as & early as possible in the coming session." C " That the Sccrctaiy he instructed to draft a Bill, according to resolution, and t advertise a notice of the proposed Bill t as required by the Standing Orders of * the House ol Representatives." r "That a committee of the whole Trust ■ he appointed to meet at the earliest convenient date to receive the Bill as drafted by the Secretary," 1 The Chairman said he did not think there was quite such a hurry. Mr\Jteg, M.H.R., had promised his * assisSfnce. It was a most important Jj matter, and the more ho thought over it the more he was exercised in Lis mind as to whether ho could ' accept any motion at all, which affected the constitution of the Trust. He would, howeyer, accept the s notice. ■ 'Mr Vile said out of respect to the \ Chairman, and as ho should like him „ to be present, he would alter his notice for next ordinary meeting. The Chairman said this course . was most acceptable, and as he J, ♦.'wished to be very clear in his nil- „ ing on the matter, he should obtain -.. legal advice, He was strongly of d opinion, without prejudice, that he t could not accept such a motion as a Mr Vile intended to moyo.but before a next meeting he intended to lw quite n clear on the matter. Mr Vile then gave notice of the j above resolutions. . .
