Since then the council had paid £575 18s 9d in reduction of the loan, as well as meeting interest to the amount of £759 3s 6d. The balance of the loan outstanding was £724 Is 3d and the council was due to meet interest on this for the next 15J years. In reply to Cr. Morcom the chairman stated that the Awahou Riding was responsible for the total repayment of the loan. It had not been possible at the time to form a special rating area to cover the loan. The county clerk (Mr. A. K. Drew), was instructed to prepare a report on the position for the next meeting. Traffic Inspector Mr. W. Berry (traffic inspector) reported that during the month one person, for allowing stock to wander on a main highway, was lined 20s and costs.
