THE following notice, received from the Chairman of the Waimakariri-Ashley Water-supply Board, is published in accordance with the provisions of “The Water-supply Act, 1891.”

J. CARROLL.

WAIMAKARIRI-ASHLEY WATER-SUPPLY DISTRICT.—BROWN’S ROCK SUBDIVISION.

Poll for Loan of £3,000.

THE following is the result of the poll taken in the Brown’s Rock Subdivision of the district on Tuesday, the 7th day of September, 1897:—

Number of ratepayers on roll, 306, representing £514,130: Number of votes recorded for the proposal, 159, representing £345,563; number of votes recorded against the proposal, 5, representing £3,327; unrecorded, 142, representing £165,240.

As the number of ratepayers voting in favour of the proposal exceeds half the total number of ratepayers on the roll, and the number so voting represent more than three-fifths of the total rateable value of the rateable property, I declare the proposal carried.

Chairman of the Waimakariri-Ashley Water-supply Board.
