Jor°t'Dealing with the question of the wjlhi erection of the proposed fire station [n at Innisfail, the Chairman said that a tjoll, telegram has been sent to the Depart- the i ment of Health and Home Affairs consi reading: Has resumption of allot- |arK(. ment 8, section 2, town of Innisfail, at been finalised? If so can Board com- tha, mence building operations immed- that iately? The telegram had been sent conf, reply-paid, on September 17, but comn there has been no reply for the meet- naign ing that night. We shall have to send Coun another wire to get moving in this jt* matter, added the speaker, I ThMr. J. T. Robertson: Notice of re- £77 c sumption of the land was given, and jun0 people were asked to object to it up £|0/' to September lfi. Probably the De- a( 0/ partment is awaiting any possible 31 ~A mail advice. montMr. Steine: The building cannot be |jous commenced until the plans are ap- jum. proved. IMr. Grove: In the notice of resumption didn't they set out a price?The Secretary: No. It was a notice £ fj they were resuming. 1Mr. Grove: And they did not set out a price?The Chairman: Not yet.The Secretary: The owners were in ^ touch with the Department on Sep-’ tember 14 regarding this matter. No Gil definite reply was given. 1 of thMr. Steine: Until plans and sped- Rost fications for the new fire station are comb approved by the Department we can ious not call tenders. superMr. Robertson; We were dealing really with whether the land was going to mise be resumed or purchased. 1 take it for tl when the time expired the Depart- Spani ment would hove to deal with the dashi solicitors for the estate of Margaret a das Crowley. It looks as if it might be a above l-and Court case to arrive at a price, two s Mr. Grove: Possibly that is what Boles Mr. Hanlon meant when he said he Hows would not tolerate private purchases, to be If the Department fixed compensa- that 1 tion for the resumption, that would so i be a private purchase. It would have chara to go before the Land Court. ture.The Chairman: I don't think we can beaut go any further. We shall have to wait Frant until the Government is ready. Wc She [ cannot do anything until wc get the idol c land. I thought that by to-night there hide 1 would have been something definite, der tc Mr. Steine: The resumption might ter. p take a month or more.
