Alderman Leyon submitted a full plan for a Public Hall and School of Arts, aiming to meet urgent local needs in Hurstville.

The text criticizes Alderman Ley of Hurstville for a resolution affecting property values in the Municipality and tying successors to values set by the current council. It argues the plan would unfairly bind incoming officials and undermine municipal taxation principles despite potentially good motives.
The Hurstville Council plans to subsidise the local band with twelve pounds for performances, routing the proposal to the Park Committee for arrangements. The Call supports municipal aid to bands in exchange for public performances, praising Illawarra suburbs for using new laws to fund mental and physical progress.
