Description
Laying the foundation stone for the municipal buildings in 1924 attracted a big crowd for those days.

Decried as white elephant:

No proposition in the history of Levin was discussed so hotly as the municipal buildings scheme. It owed its conception to Mr D. W. Matheson (who was mayor in 1923) and some of his councillors, who first considered it in that year.

Contains:

Mr D.W. Matheson
Mr Jas Bennie
Mr T. Hobson
Mr C.S. Keedwell
