MONEY FROM AUSTRALIA
ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES
NEW ZEAI.AND LOCAL BODIES LOANS. (Peb United Phess Association.) WELLINGTON, August, 11. Finding it impracticable to obtain loan money in New Zealand at the Government fixed maximum rate of interest, a number of local bodies have turned their attention to Australia, where it seems that facilities for obtaining money are greater. Although the price may be considered high, arrangements have been made by Wanganui with a Ivftc financial institution with headquarters at Sydney for a loan of £120,000 at 7 per cent, per annum, with a currency of 10 years, both principal and interest being payable in Australia. The Lower Hutt Borough Council has arranged in the same way on the same terms for a loan of £64.000. There is understood to be a considerable demand for money in Australia on these terms. Other local bodies are seeking the essential Government authority to obtain money from Australia.
