The General Manager reported as follows with reference to Key Lanterns:
Key Lanterns
The Committee originally ordered twelve Key Lanterns from Messrs Fraley. Eleven of these have been supplied and fixed, and one remains on their hands from the order. They state that an additional one was made at the time, and they would be glad if the Committee would take this from them.

The cost of the lanterns comes to approximately £23. 16. 6d or thereabouts. Any slight difference there may be from this price being dependent on the wiring arrangements.
The decision of the Committee is requested with regard to the extra lantern which is on Messrs Fraleys' hands.
