TWENTY YEARS AGO
COMMENT ON NETHERTON DRAINAGE BOARD URGED LARGE MEETING OF SETTLERS (From the Hauraki Plains Gazette of May 28, 1923.) At the meeting of the Netherton Ratepayers’ Association on Saturday night, one of the speakers remarked that he had travelled through various countries but nowhere yet had he come across such an indefatigable and inexplicable place as Netherton. “Why,” he said, “they even put ‘Hares’ in the council, ‘Rice’ in the school, and ‘Nicholls’ in the store, and finally vote for ‘Death’ on the hospital board. A very well represented meeting of settlers on the TuruaNgatea road was held on Friday ' last. After hearing the proposals explained, it was unanimously decided, on the motion of Mr W. E. G. Willy, seconded by Mr J. W. Treadaway, “That this meeting of settlers support a proposal to form one drainage board between the Piako and Waihou rivers, and appoint two ratepayers to confer with the delegates appointed from other portions of the area to carry the project into effect.” Mr W. ( E. G. Willy and Mr A. H. Rogers were appointed delegates.
