THE POVERTY BAY ELECTRIC-POWER BOARD.

PURSUANT to section 13 (1) of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, I hereby give notice that a poll of the ratepayers of the Poverty Bay Electric-power District was taken on the tenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one (10th April, 1931) on the proposal of the Poverty Bay Electric-power Board to borrow the sum of seventy-eight thousand pounds (£78,000).

The particular purposes for which the loan is required are for constructing works in connection with the change-over from direct current to alternating current, increasing the capacity of lines and incidentals and works in connection with the extension of the reticulation system, in respect of which latter works guarantees as described in clause 12 (1) of the Electrical Supply Regulations, 1927, have first been given in favour of the Power Board for payments amounting in each of not less than ten consecutive years from the completion of such works to at least 17 per cent. of the estimated cost of such works.

The number of votes recorded for the proposal was 1,116; the number of votes recorded against the proposal was 286; the number of informal votes was 4.

I therefore declare that the proposal was carried.

Dated at Gisborne, this 15th day of April, 1931.
