From A. Allan, secretary of trustees Sale Brass Band, asking for use of instruments and property of the Sale Borough Band, stating that, should the Sale Brass Band disband, the property and instruments should be vested in trustees for use of any future band which might form.
The Mayor stated that of three trustees appointed by the late Sale Borough Band, only two (Mr. S. Treloar and himself) remained in Sale. On receipt, of this letter he had consulted Mr. Treloar, and they had decided to bring the matter before the council before taking action. The property in their possession consisted of several brass instruments, all more or less battered, uniforms of little use, and a couple of drums which had seen service. They (the trustees) were willing that the band should have the property, conditionally that they liquidate any liability outstanding against the late band.
Cr. Wise: What does the old trust deed say in regard to this property.
The Mayor knew of none.
Cr Wise: There certainly was one, and it was drawn by the borough solicitors.
It was decided to let the matter stand over until next meeting, to allow of the trust deeds being referred to.
