Council’s reply to the Land Rover dispute, page 2

— 2 — Glenhaven Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade. 16th September, 1970 You will be well aware also that on numerous occasions the Council drew your attention to the fact that equipment should not be purchased direct by the Brigade without the prior approval of Council but that on each occasion when the Brigade saw fit to depart from this requirement the Council nevertheless ultimately provided the reimbursement of the expenditure. In all the circumstances the Council considers that your remarks are unwarranted and cause reflection on the Council and its Officers. Yours faithfully, DAVID J.B. MERCER, SHIRE CLERK
