PAREMATA BRIDGE
OPPOSITION TO PROPOSAL
'new body formed
For the purpose "of considering the Paremata Bridge proposal, a meeting of ratepayers was held at Plimmerton last Friday, and a committee, known as the Taupo Hiding Vigilance Committee, was appointed. After a'lengthy discussion on the bridge proposal, the following resolution, was carried unanimously:- ' • ,
"That this meeting of ratepayers of Plimmerton and Pukerua Bay, after considering the proposal to be placed before ratepayers of the Taupo Hiding on February 13, is definitely of the opinion that, as the<work is said to be the first step towards a main north highway, the matter is a national one, the cost of whicK should be borne by the funds under the control of the Main Highways Board; this meeting cannot see any equitable reason why this small district should be called "upon to provide £7000- towards the cost thereof, and would urge ratepayers to reject the proposal at the poll on the 13th instant, thereby protecting their property from such a burdensome debt."
