Wellington Drainage.
(Per Press Association)
Wellington, March 12. A report presented to the City Council shows that out of the original damage loan of £150,000, a sum of only £19,000 is left, with liabilities under contract £18,000. 1 here is still a sum of £32,000 wanted to complete the scheme, and a special Act is required to enable it to be borrowed. The Mayor said that if the money were not raised within ten weeks all labor must be stopped. Some 14 miles more sowers had been found necessary than was expected, and in other <~ .rections | the cost had been increased by the unsuitability of the existing drains. The work will be finished this year if the money is forthcoming. The Council adopted the report.
