NEWTON BOROUGH COUNCIL.

Newton Borough Council Office,
11th August, 1898.

SIR,—I have the honour to give you notice that at a special meeting of the Newton Borough Council, held on the 27th day of June last, a resolution was carried to authorise the raising of a special loan of £1,400 to provide an extension of the present water-supply for Surrey and Sussex Wards, portions of the above borough, in accordance with section 185 of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1886”; and such resolution was confirmed at a special meeting held 25th July; and a poll of the ratepayers of the above-mentioned wards was taken on the 10th instant, as provided by section 186 of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1886,” and was as follows:—

For the proposal, 141; against the proposal, 0; informal, 1: total, 141.

As the number of votes polled in favour of the proposal (141) exceeds three-fifths of the total number of votes polled for and against the proposal (141), I therefore declare the proposal carried.

I, John Wisdom Shackelford, Mayor of Newton, do solemnly and sincerely declare that all the proceedings required by sections 185 and 186 of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1886,” towards obtaining the sanction of the burgesses of Surrey and Sussex Wards, Borough of Newton, for the proposal to raise the special loan of £1,400 above mentioned, have been duly taken, and the resolution in favour of the proposal duly carried; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand intituled “The Justices of the Peace Act, 1882.”

JOHN W. SHACKELFORD,
Mayor.

Declared at Auckland, this 11th day of August, 1898, before me—J. C. Macky, J.P.
