The decision of Hamilton citizens to erect a memorial In the form of an obelisk to the late King George V. has been rescinded. At a public meeting in the town hall, over which the mayor (Cr. J. Young) presided, it was decided to expend a slightly larger sum and erect a bust of the late King in the Hamilton Botanical Gardens. This will cost approximately £100, and will be erected by a local firm.
The Age (Melbourne), 25 September 1936.
