Colonial Secretary's Office,
Wellington, 1st December, 1891.

THE following notice, received from the Chairman of the
Wairoa County Council, is published in accordance with
"The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1886."

P. A. BUCKLEY.

RESULT OF POLL.

THE following is the result of the poll taken in the Clyde
Riding of the Wairoa County, upon a proposal to raise a
loan of £3,250 for metalling the road from Wairoa to Wai-
hua:—
Number of ratepayers on special roll 166, exercising 219
votes; number of ratepayers who voted for the proposal 60,
exercising 81 votes; number of ratepayers who voted against
the proposal 5, exercising 9 votes; informal 1, exercising
1 vote.
As the number of ratepayers who voted and the number of
votes recorded for the proposal are in each case less than a
majority of the total numbers on the roll, I therefore
declare the proposal to be rejected.
