BOROUGH OF NEW PLYMOUTH.

In the matter of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908.
PURSUANT to section 13 of the Local Bodies' Loans Act,
1908, I hereby give notice that a poll of the ratepayers of
the Borough of New Plymouth was taken on the 26th
day of October, 1911, on the proposal of the New Ply-
mouth Borough Council to borrow the sum of £12,000, at
a rate of interest not exceeding 5 per centum per annum,
with a sinking fund of ½ per centum additional, the whole
of the loan to be repayable on the 1st day of October,
1922, and to be for the following purposes : To provide
additions and extensions to the electric lighting, either
within or without the borough, and to supply electricity ;
to acquire in connection with such additions and exten-
sions lands, easements, and appurtenances, and buildings,
engines, machinery, and other things; to pay compensa-
tion to any person injuriously affected, and any other
purpose incidental to or in relation to any of the above
purposes. The Council proposes to pledge as security for
the said loan of £12,000, and the interest and sinking fund
thereon, an annually recurring special rate of 3d. in the
pound on the annual value of all rateable property within
the said borough. The Council proposes that the cost of
raising the loan and the first year's interest thereon be
paid out of the proceeds of such loan.

The number of votes recorded for the proposal was 142.
The number of votes recorded against the proposal was 14.
I therefore declare that the proposal was carried.
Dated this 27th day of October, 1911.

Marine Department,

THE following Notices to Mariners, received from the
Marine Department, Brisbane, and the Marine
Board, Port Adelaide, are published for general infor-
mation.

QUEENSLAND.-CHANNEL INTO PORT ALMA, KEPPEL BAY.
Owing to the shoaling of the water on the 4½ fathom patch
abreast the Cardigan Point front leading-beacon, masters
of vessels proceeding to Port Alma are advised that after
passing Sea Hill they should keep the Balaclava leads in
line until the leads at Port Alma are nearly on, then keep
the Port Alma leads open their own width to the westward
until Cardigan Point leads are open to the southward, then
bring the Port Alma leads into line and proceed as before.
By following these directions a depth of from 5 to 6
fathoms at L.W.O.S. will be obtained.
