CASTLEPOINT COUNTY COUNCIL.
RESOLUTION MAKING SPECIAL RATE.
WHEREAS the Castlepoint County Council has been
authorized by the ratepayers to borrow £900 for
the purpose of rebuilding the Hangman's Bridge, and the
New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Board has provisionally approved the application for such loan at the
rate of £33 per centum per annum: And whereas the New
Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Office Superintendent is unable to advance such loan (namely, £900) at the said rate of interest, but can advance the same at the rate of 4½ pounds per centum per annum:
Now, in pursuance and exercise of the powers vested in it
in that behalf by the Local Bodies' Loans Amendment Act,
1908, and section 4 of the Local Bodies' Loans Amendment Act, 1910, the Castlepoint County Council hereby resolves:
That, for the purpose of providing moneys sufficient to cover
the increased payments in respect of such loan (namely,
£900), the said Castlepoint County Council hereby makes and levies a special rate of one forty-fifth part of a penny in the
pound upon the rateable value of all rateable property comprised within the whole of the County of Castlepoint; and
that such special rate shall be an annual-recurring rate during
the currency of such loan, and be payable half-yearly on the
first day of February and the first day of August in each
and every year during the currency of such loan, being a
period of thirty-six years and a half, or until such loan is fully paid off.
I hereby certify that the above resolution was passed by
the Castlepoint County Council at a special meeting held on
the 17th day of May, 1913.

SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF, NEAR SUMNER,
CHRISTCHURCH.
UNDER THE CONTROL AND SUPERVISION OF THE EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT.
FOR Deaf Children of sound intellect. The pupils are
taught to understand and use ordinary speech. The
full charge for board and education is £40 a year, but less
is accepted from parents who cannot afford to pay this
amount. In case of necessity admission is free.
By the Education Act it is compulsory for deaf children
to come under instruction at the age of six, and to continue
until the age of twenty-one unless the Education Department
previously grants exemption. Though a child is, as a rule,
best fitted to begin the school course at the age of six, advice
should be obtained as soon as any sign of deafness is observed.
The following classes of deaf children are admitted:

1. Children born deaf, or who have lost their hearing
   before learning to speak.
2. Children who can hear a little, but are too deaf to
   be taught in a public school.
3. Children who have lost their hearing after having
   learned to speak.
   Parents and other persons acquainted with such cases
   above the age of four are invited to communicate with the
   Director, or with
   THE SECRETARY FOR EDUCATION,
   Wellington.
