WATERVIEW RATEPAYERS.

AN ASSOCIATION FORMED. About 40 residents of Waterview, Avondale, were present at a meeting last night which eventually formed the Waterview Ratepayers and Residents' Association. Mr. F. Craig presided and reported on interviews he and Messrs. A. Burrows and A. Geary had had with the Transport Board and City Council. He stated that, as a result of their deputation, the council had decided to call public tenders for the sanitary service in Avondale when the time expires at the end of June, which would lighten the rate payable. Since the meeting of the council 100 chains of footpath work was commenced. Complaint had been made to the Transport Board over the question of the number of sections between Point Chevalier and Avondale. The deputation reported that the board had expressed apparent surprise that one section was only 30 chains and yet another only 00 chains. The board 'had promised to rectify this and other matters to which their attention was drawn.

At the conclusion of the meeting, on the motion of Mr. A, Burrows, seconded by Mr. A. Geary, it was decided to form the Waterview Ratepayers and Residents Association. Officers were elected as follow: President, A. Craig; vicepresident, A. J. Burrows; secretary, G. Connon; treasurer, S. C. Wells; committee, Messrs. W. Kircher, L. Burrows, Thwaite, A. Geary and Thorpe. Mention was made of the lack of public telephone accommodation in Avondale and the association promised that this would be one of their first duties.
