TE KUITI WATER SUPPLY
INVOKING HEALTH ACT PROTEST BY RATEPAYERS [BY TELF.GRAFII —OWN CORRESPONDENT] TE KUITI, Tuesday The newly-formed Te Kuiti Ratepavers and Citizens' Association last evening carried a resolution making an emphatic protest to the Board of Health against the proposal to utilise the Health Act to enable the Te Kuiti Borough Council to proceed with its water loan scheme, which was rejected by the ratepayers. Mr. H. T. Morton, who moved the motion, said it was no use saying that the ratepayers had been stampeded, into voting against the waterworks loan proposals. Jt was the absence of a proper report that made the people turn clown the scheme. Personally, he was in favour of the problem being tackled, but the money spent must give a proper supply. He outlined what he claimed were the advantages of the viaduct pumping scheme, as against the present gravitation supply, which the council had proposed to use again. In seconding the motion, Mr. T. M. O'Connell said he was very much in favour of the viaduct scheme. As far as ho could see, by referring the question of Te Kuiti water to the Board of Health, the council was trying to veto the vote of the ratepayers.
