THE MUNICIPAL ASSOCIATION.
(Per Press Association.). WELLINGTON, August 26. A joint sitting of the executive-and legislative, committees of the Municipal Association was held to-day. A suggestion that power be given to transfer moneys from separate accounts to the general account in payment of amounts spent for special purposes from the general account, but not at the time shown in the Corporation books as being intended to be advanced to any special account, was disapproved, as was a suggestion for making the system of allocation of general rates between borough and ward works optional instead of compulsory. Objections were received' from) New Plymouth, Ashburton and Oamaru to section 316 of "The Municipal Corporations Act, 1900," requiring Borough Councils to make good the loss where uninsured or only partially insured buildings and other property are pulled down or destroyed in order to prevent the spread of fire. It was resolved that the loss ought to fall on the owner, insurance companies, and Borough Council in equal shares.
