PENANG TURF CLUB

No Government.

Grant

At the half-yearly meeting of the Penang Turr Club, it was re- vealed that Government had no only refused to grant the Club a loan to finance the building sche- me for the new race course site in Brook Road, which members' had approved some time. ago, but, to add insult to injury, had given the Club 12 months' notice to quilt the present site on the ground that they wanted that part now used as a paddock for a new Maternity -Hospital, "states the Malaya"Th

tune."

Mr. Kemp. who presided, said that 12 months' notice not only gave them. insuficient time to raise a loan of $350,000 but also gave them insumclent time to erect a grandstand on the lines of the original proposals. The committee therefore had prepared a scheme. by which a modified type of stand Is to be erected and the cost re duced to $150,000. The original

cost was about $280,000.
