Abstract

I n 1963 the government made a firm proposal to assist the council build a festival hail. A t the beginning of June this year, a two-acre site was chosen in North Adelaide for the purpose, which included “Carclew”. a property owned by the Bonython family. The announcement was later revealed as premature. The council had not then begun negotiations and “Carclew” was occupied by a member of the Bonython family who was not prepared to move. The lord mayor, Mr Irwin, expressed hopes that the site might still be acquired or that the hall might be built for on part of it. A bill to provide a grant of ~100,000 land and 6400,000 for building, plus a further loan of i400,OOO was introduced in the house of assembly on 20 August.
