COUNTY OF WAITEMATA.-MAIRETAHI OUTLYING DISTRICT, HELENSVILLE RIDING.

I HEREBY notify that, at a poll taken on the 15th day of February, 1890, upon a proposal to borrow the sum of £1,000 for public works within the above district, under the provisions of "The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1886," the following was the result:—

As a majority of ratepayers have voted in favour of the proposal, and the number who have so voted are entitled to more than one-half of the votes which can be exercised by the whole number of ratepayers, I therefore declare the resolution in favour of the proposal to be carried.
