SHIFTING OF POLES
COUNTY OR POWER BOARD?
SUPREME COURT RULING.
Judgment in the first case of its kind in New Zealand was given by Mr Justice Herdman, who held that the Waitemata County Council had no legal right to require the Waitemata Electric Power Board to contribute toward the cost of removing power poles from one position on a county road to another. The Power Board had an absolute right to erect poles as it did, and if they stood in the way of the council's road improvement operations it ..as the council's business to get rid 3f them at its own expense, said the judge.
