The mation..- to. adopt .the;loan propo sal-was carried by a 'largeririajority: ---------------------Tennis Courts It was decided that £3.371 be place on the new loan schedule for the making of 36 tennis courts and dressing sheds on Robertson Park. Cr. Langley, who submitted the mo-tion, suggested that the council might retain half of the courts for the use of private people who did not desire to join a club, and hand over the rest to the Lawn Tennis Association. It was preferable to have municipal courts, in this way, than to give a monopoly to one particular association. (Hear, hear). He estimated that if the courts were used for seven months only in a year, at the low rental of 25s. a.week per court, a profit of £355 a year would be made. Cr. Butt. asked if the motion meant that a State trading concern was to be set up by the council. Cr. Langley: I do not. consider this to be a municipal trading concern; We pro vide cricket and football facilities, and this is a tennis facility. Cr. Raphael said that it would be a "darned disgrace" to spend that sum on tennis. The Acting Mayor (Cr. Berryman): I must ask Cr. Raphael to withdraw those words. Cr. Raphael refused to withdraw and walked out of the chamber. Cr. Goode reminded the council that it had carried a motion prohibiting Sun day play on its sports grounds, and sug gested that a great many people would want to play tennis on Sundays. The motion was carried.
