Pound removal plan sparks Recreation Ground debate
Reraldson committees recommended moving the pound from the Recreation Ground to a new site. Arguments centered on better poundkeeper attention and potential loss of valuable block space. Maitland-Park was suggested as a site but lacked seating and seemed unsuitable. A broader consensus emerged to prevent impairing access and avoid unnecessary disruption. In other notes, the Stina Herald announces a Friday publication change due to paper shortages.
