Mr Frazer presided over a very good gathering, considering the inclemency of the weather. T)ie estimates of the council’s engineer were thoroughly discussed and generally considered to be high as regards cost of maintenance, purchase of land, etc. The settlers present were unanimously in favour of the scheme and are also willing to form themselves into a water district and to agree to pay a rate equal to the interest and sinking fund on £3OOO.
