[No. 12

proposal of the Council of the said borough, in pursuance of
the powers and provisions contained in “The Local Bodies’
Loans Act, 1901,” and all other powers enabling it in that
behalf, to raise a special loan of £4,000, to be called “The
Drainage and Waterworks Loan (No. 3),” for and in connec-
tion with the following public works—that is to say, (1) com-
pleting the drainage-works already sanctioned, including a
system of purification on the bacterial principle; (2) com-
pleting the waterworks already sanctioned. That the amount
applicable for drainage purposes is to be £2,000, and for
waterworks, £2,000.

That the property to be specially appropriated and pledged
as a security for such loan, and the interest thereon, pur-
suant to the said Act, is to be the said drainage-works and
waterworks the subject-matter of the loan, and the revenues
therefrom (subject to special loans already secured on them),
and a special rate of 5d. in the pound sterling on the rate-
able value of all the rateable property in the borough.

That the whole loan is to be repayable on the 1st day of
March, 1918, and is to bear interest at the rate of £4 10s. per
centum per annum, payable half-yearly.

That in connection therewith forty debentures of £100 each
are to be issued, each payable on the said date, with separate
coupons attached thereto for each half-year’s interest, and
the principal and interest secured by such debentures are to
be payable at the National Bank of New Zealand (Limited),
Dunedin or Mosgiel; and that the cost of raising the loan
and the interest for the first year are to be paid out of the
said loan.

And at the said poll the following votes were recorded:
For the proposal, 54; against the proposal, 32; majority for
the proposal, 22; informal, 1.

I therefore declare the proposal duly carried.
