5. On the closing of the City Hall the Club fell into abeyance for lack of accommodation and in the Autumn of 1933 an appeal was made for sufficient funds to enable new premises to be erected to carry on the work so successfully inaugurated by the Old Cheero Club under the Auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association.

6. The appeal was successful in raising over $41,000 which was sufficient to pay for the erection and furnishing of a building on a site which had been granted by Government at the corner of Murray Parade Ground which had been handed back to Government by the Secretary of State for War on the understanding that it was to be used for the benefit of men of His Majesty's Forces and such land is now vested in the Young Men's Christian Association.

7. As a result of meetings between representatives of the Young Men's Christian Association and of Subscribers to the fund and members of the Old Ladies' Advisory Com- mittee it was decided that the premises should be used by the Cheero Club and that it was for the benefit of that Club that the Club should be incorporated under an Ordinance so as to give it perpetual succession.

8. This Bill follows the lines of other Incorporation Ordinances of the same kind.
