£BOO Needed To Restore Flood Damage To Council Chambers
Tuesday’s ordinary meeting of the Whakatane County Council resolved to provide £BOO in the 1948-49 supplementary estimates to repair flood damage to the Council' Chambers and drafting room. Provision is also to be made for the replacing of engineering survey equipment damaged in the drafting room and valued at £125. It is estimated that the cost of repairing the damage done to the Council Chambers will be £SOO. It will be necessary to build a concrete wall along the full length of the building and to a depth of approximately three feet below the present bed of the stream. It is possible that the present culvert may be replaced by a larger and deeper one in whcih case it would be imperative to keep the base of the wall below the level of the invert.
The cost of replacing the damaged draughting room will be £3OO. It is not proposed to rebuild this room immediately, but that will be held over pending the Council’s further authority to proceed.
