At tho same time a pell was taken on a proposal to raise a loan of £6500 for the proposed new road from Pollen Street to the site of the proposed new bridge across tho Kauaeranga Biver at Parawai, near the railway bridge. The proposal to revert to tho system of rating on annual value was rejected by 409 votes to 235, while 440 votes were cast for the loan proposal and 203 against.
