RALEIGH TOWN DISTRICT.

Proposal to raise a Loan of £500.

RESULT of a poll taken on the 26th day of February, 1901, upon a proposal to borrow £500, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1886,” for the purpose of erecting, furnishing, and equipping a Public Library in Waitara:—

Number of ratepayers on special roll, 281; number of votes exercisable, 287: Number of ratepayers voting in favour of the proposal, 79; number of votes recorded in favour of the proposal, 82; number of votes recorded against the proposal, 2; number of informal votes, 3.

As the number of votes polled in favour of the proposal was less than one-half the number of votes which can be exercised in the district, I therefore declare the proposal lost.
