Council discussions arose from a letter from the Central War Savings Association to the effect that a tank would be presented to the town on December 6. A concrete foundation would be required, so the suggested site of the triangle near the Baths, where a gun was recently exhibited, would not be suitable. Mr Yates inquired if it was too late to refuse the gift. Tanks were not things of beauty and he could not see where they could put it. He knew there were sentimental reasons attached, but they were unwieldly unlovely objects and he was not in favour of putting one in the centre of the town.
