BOARD AND COUNCIL.

TURUA’S REQUIREMENTS.

ROADING AND BY-LAWS.

The Turua Town Board waited on the Hauraki Plains County Council on Monday with reference to matters concerning the newly-constituted town district. Roading problems and by-laws were the chief matters for discussion, and the Council ultimately decided to elect a sub-committee to confer with representatives from the Town Board in order to come to an understanding over matters which concern both the Board and the Council.

Mr J. Bennett (chairman of the Turua Town Board) said the Town Board’s deputation business Mad been covered, by the other deputations. It was the intention ofl the Board to go in for a road loan, and if the permanent roads scheme was to be put again he asked if both the proposals could be put together. . If either loan was turned- down and the other carried, the other could go on. If the Council, had trouble in getting the metal, would the County be prepared to allow the Board the l%d rate to spend on the roads ? Mr Miller (County Chairman) said that would have to be decided in council. Mr Bennett understood that the rest of the riding was going to bring a Joan. The Board would be bringing loan proposals of its own. He asked i 5 the Board could have a copy of the

county by-laws, as the Town Board was formulating by-laws of its-own. Mr Walton said he could give th? Board a typewritten copy. The bylaws were not. printed yet. Mr Walton further suggested that the Board should appoint a committee to meet a committee of the Council to discuss the many aspects which requiied consideration in Che constitution of a town district. The committees would then report back to their respective board and council. The County Council could appoint its committee at Chat day’s meeting and suggest a day on which the two committees could meet. The chairman, Cr. Hayward, and the clerk- were later deputed by the Council to confer with a committee from the Turua Town Board. HEAVY CARTING. Mr Ansford .mentioned the large amount of damage-.the Power Board was doing through carting the poles over the roads. A cpnsiderable amount of damage had been done, and he thought some compensation could be obtained.' Mr Miller said that there had been; requests to have the poles carted and put in, and the settlers were fortunate in having the poles.
