PAIiT OF AN ENDOWMENT TO I>E SOLD.
(Per Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH. July 21. The Charitable Aid Board to-day discussed at considerable length the question of disposal by sale of small (portions of the Twigger estate, regarding which there hqd been protests by a public meeting and by various organisations. The chairman of the Board stated that the Twigger estate was not a public reserve, and was not bequeathed to the people of Christchurch, but was left in trust as endowments to three charitable institutions named in the will. The Board was appointed trustees of the residue of the estate, and as such was empowered to sell the land. The Board had never contemplated the sale of the Twigger estate, notwithstanding chat it had full power to. do so. What the Board proposed to do was not to sell the whole estate, but a small rectangular block, resulting from the formation of a new road and the adjacent sections abutting on the new road. After discussion, and after hearing a deputation which supported the sale, of a" portion of tho estate, the Board decided to adhere to its previous decision to sell. One member alone dissented.
