NEW PIER FOR CAPE TOWN
At a meeting of the Cape Town City Council, a report was submitted by the Public Works Committee with reference to a communication from Mr. Luscombe Searelle, dated December 11, inquiring as to whether the Council would be prepared to grant the right to construct a pleasure pier at the lower end of Adderley Street, at a cost of not less than £50,000. The Committee regretted that they were unable to recommend the Council to prosecute any negotiations with Mr. Luscombe Searelle, but still hoped that the Council might be successful in establishing their rights to the reclamation of the foreshore, in accordance with the proposals which the Council have already approved, and that ultimately facilities may be given, not only for the construction of a sea promenade and pier, but also for swimming baths, electric, pumping and other stations, and improvements which have been in contemplation for many years past.
The death is announced of Mr. R. A. Green, of Newcastle.
The Rev. Mr. De Pla has arrived in Pretoria with the view of establishing a Congregational Church there.
Anent an entertainment at the Theatre Royal, Durban, the Natal Mercury says: The “gods” were in their most boisterous mood. Superfluous spirits found vent in various ways, but when it came to swinging a vegetable marrow into the boxes by a string, and tossing coppers at the leading tenor, the management had to take decided steps, which later led to the descent of the curtain, with three numbers still on.
