The particular purposes for which the loan is required are: For the payment of the whole of the following special loans which the said Council has heretofore lawfully raised, all of which will fall due on the 1st day of October, 1922, and for any other purposes incidental or in relation thereto,—

(a.) A special loan of £90,000 borrowed to repay a special loan of £29,000 previously raised to provide additions to and extensions of waterworks, to supply electricity, to improve streets, to provide drainage, and to provide public baths, and for purposes incidental thereto.

(b.) A special loan of £7,000 borrowed for additions and extensions to waterworks and for supplying electricity, and for purposes incidental thereto.

I therefore declare the said proposal carried.
