During the month £l4O/9/4 had been collected for sales and installations, leaving the sum of £4600/0/8 outstanding. The board decided to secure the authority of the Local Bodies Loans Board for the conversion of its loans, and appointed the chairman, Mr. C. G. C. Denner, Mr. M. A. Eliott, and the secre-tary-manager to act in tho matter when authority was received. The secretarymanager recommended that the board should convert its loans so as to be sure of a low rate of interest on the loans until maturity. Consideration was given to a complaint from Failding shopkeepers regarding the community lights not being switched on in Feilding until 6.30 p.m. The board recently decided to charge £2 a year for community lights in Eeilding provided the lights were kept off the peak load, and 65 lights were connected to the supply. The board appointed a committee consisting of the chairman, Mr. C. G. C. Denner, Mr. P. G. Guy, the engineer, Mr. W. A. Waters, and Mr. O. McElroy, to wait on the Eeilding shopkeepers with an instruction from the board that ,if the shopkeepers were not satisfied with the present arrangement they should be offered lighting at the rate of 4/2 a month for the first light, and 3/4 a month for extra lights.
