PETONE BOROUGH COUNCIL.

Result of Poll on Proposal to raise Special Loan of £800.

In the matter of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1908,” and of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908,” and the Acts amending the same respectively.

Pursuant to section 13 of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908,” I hereby give notice that on the 28th day of January, 1910, a proposal was submitted by the Petone Borough Council to the ratepayers (including all other persons entitled to vote on proposals to raise loans) of the Borough of Petone for raising a special loan of £800 for payment of the formation and extension of Nelson Street northwards, for the extension of Nelson Street culvert northwards from Udy Street, also for diverting Percy’s Creek into Nelson Street culvert; the before-described special loan to be obtained from the Minister of Finance under the provisions of Part II of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908.”

The Petone Borough Council proposes to pledge as security for the before-described special loan and the annual interest thereon an annually recurring special rate of 1/56d. in the pound sterling on the rateable value (on the basis of the unimproved value) of all the rateable property in the Borough of Petone.

It is proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the same, but not the interest for the first year. And I hereby give notice that the number of votes recorded at the poll respectively for and against the proposal was as follows: For, 73; against, 16; informal, 1.

And I declare the said proposal to be carried.

Dated the 29th day of January, 1910.
