—Arising out of members' recent inspections of various Municipal institutions, ete, and having regard to the fact that, although considerable time has already been devoted to this purpose, a number of institutions and branches of municipal work still remained to be visited, the suggestion is made that it would be a great advantage to future Councillors if a series of films depicting various branches of Municipal activity could be taken and shown to each Council shortly after its assumption of office. It is not suggested that such films should take the place of visits of inspection, but that to the extent to which visits covid not be carried out or at least until carried out, they would be of real assistance to members in their deliberations on matters municipal. It is suggested that it might be of advantage for the Council to purchase its own filming and operating machine and enquiry is made as to whether members would he inclined favourably to consider the matter. Members reply in the affirmative and also indicate that they would favour the exhibition of such films to the public. The matter will accordingly be the subject of further report,
