APRIL 18.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1251

MOUNT ALBERT ROAD DISTRICT.

I HEREBY declare the result of the poll taken on the 27th day of March, 1907, under the provisions of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” and of “The Local Elections Act, 1904,” upon the following proposal: To raise a special loan, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” and its amendments, of £5,000—to extend the water-mains in the district at a cost of £4,000, and to pay into the Water-supply Account the sum of £1,000. It is proposed to borrow the above sum at a rate of interest not exceeding £5 10s. per centum per annum; to cover the annual charge for interest and to provide a sinking fund for the repayment of the loan upon the security of the revenues of the district and, if required, of a special rate of ½d. in the pound. The cost of raising the loan, and the first year’s interest, is to be paid out of the loan.

Number of valid votes recorded at the poll, 140; number of votes recorded in favour of the proposal, 121; number of votes recorded against the proposal, 19.

As the number of votes recorded for the proposal exceeds three-fifths of the valid votes recorded, I declare the proposal to be carried.

F. ELLISDON,
Chairman, Mount Albert Road Board.
