COUNTY COUNCIL CONFERENCE.
Wellington, August 10. At the Couuty Council Conference Mr Grimmond said that the Premier had stated that the Local Government Bill would not be ready before Friday, and that he could not give the Conference an advance copy before the Bill was introduced in the House. Mr McNab moved—- “ That with a view to afford local bodies immediate relief, the Government be asked to amend the Counties Act to enable local bodies to borrow money to pay off their overdrafts ; also that as soou as the local bodies shall have paid off their overdrafts, it shall not bo lawful to incur new liabilities as an overdraft, which shall at any time exceed the amount of anticipated revenue at that particular date.” As all the members had not arrived, the debate was adjourned until Tuesday. The conference then adjourned.
