ELLERSLIE DRAINAGE
LOAN AUTHORITY SOUGHT A decision to make application to the Board of Health for a requisition empowering the Ellerslie Borough Council to raise a loan of £5500 for drainage purposes was reached at the council meeting. A loan will be necessary to finance the scheme to dispose of the borough sewage by means of a special main and pumping plant into the system of the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board. A report which was presented stated that in the ordinary way the council would require to seek the authority of the Local Government Loans Board to hold a poll of ratepayers. As it was a question of public health and the removal of a menace to it by the adoption of the scheme, it was recommended that the facts be placed before the Board of Health, which had power to authorise the proposals. The town clerk, Mr, J. TV. Carr, said this would be the most economical method of proceeding. If a poll was held and the loan proposals rejected the council would probably be instructed by the department to proceed with the scheme.
