CIVIC SQUARE PLAN
POLL AT HAMILTON
RATEPAYERS DISAPPROVE
(By Telefrraph—Press Association.)
HAMILTON, This Day.
Lively interest was taken by the ratepayers yesterday in a poll on the proposal to remove Garden Place Hill in Hamilton, and after a record poll the council's scheme to remove the hill was beaten by 213 votes.
The council planned to raise a loan of £89.000 to remove the hill, which is in the centre of the town, and lay out a civic square and make business sections available. It was estimated that the return would be over £90,000, with additional benefits from rates and rents. Feeling has been running high over the past week, and more than twice as many people voted as took part in the waterworks poll in 1928.
