In reaching their conclusions there was evidence of a division of views among members, certain of them tending to regard the present charge for admission to Jessfield Park as sufficient to prevent the entry of undesirables and favouring other means to prevent the damage resulting from the large numbers of visitors. On the other hand, a trial of the increased charge at Jessfield Park was favoured, on the grounds that the amount was reasonable and also it might serve the purpose in relieving the congestion by diverting users to other of the parks.
A summary of the annual total number of visitors to Jessfield Park and Zoological Garden from 1925 is as follows:—
