WAIOEKA BRIDGE.
DISPUTE OVER LIGHTING. AMICABLE SETTLEMENT. ißy Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) OPOTIKI, this day. The trouble in connection with the lighting of the Waioeka Bridge, which resulted from a decision of the borough council to reduce the number of lights by half, culminating in the county council deciding to cut • ut all the lights, was amicably settlV. at the monthly meeting of the county council. A deputation from the borough council waited on the council with a request thata it should consider its decision to cut Out all lights and compromise by lighting half the lamps. Mr. Short explained that the borough council had not intended to be dictatorial. The new councillors and the clerk had not been acquainted with the existing arrangement. Members of the county council expressed the opinion that the bridge, when fully illuminated as at present, was a good advertisement for the district. After further discussion the council conferred with the manager of the Power Board, and then resolved to reduce the lighting 50 per cent till the end of March, when the position will be reviewed. Considerable public feeling has been shown in connection with the bridge lighting.
