URBAN COUNCIL INAUGURAL MEETING

This is to remind you that the new Urban Council will hold its first open meeting at 4.00 p.m. tomorrow (Tuesday).

+

The meeting will be preceeded by an inaugural ceremony at 3.00 p.m., which will be attended by the Governor.

The brief ceremony will include speeches

by Sir Murray and the new Council Chairman, Mr. A. de O. Sales.

Sir Murray will also hand over a

gavel to the new Chairman.

As local dignitaries are invited

to the ceremony, space in the Council Chamber will be very limited. Special arrangements have therefore had to be made for news coverage.

It may be necessary to have only photographers in the Council Chamber and reporters in the room adjoining the Chamber where a loud

speaker will be set up to enable them to hear

the speeches. This, however, will depend on how many reporters and/or photographers turn

up. If possible, everyone will be accommodated

in the Chamber..

+

+

Your representatives are kindly asked

to be at the Urban Council Chamber not later than 2.30 p.m. so that the Urban Services Department's Public Relations Officer, Mr. Gerry Xavier, can explain the special arrangements to them and

accommodate them in the best way possible.
